Chapter 888 - I Didn’t Do Anything Yet

Lin Qiao looked at Yun Meng and laughed, “So, this Zuo Chen is now lying in a coma in a ward in the medical department.”

Yun Meng nodded and said, “I heard that he’s in bad condition. I don’t know if he’ll wake up or stay in a coma. Thankfully, his life isn’t in danger. I just wonder if we have enough medicine to maintain his body function.”

“Of course, we do! We only need to maintain his body functions. That won’t be a problem for the medical department,” Lin Qiao smiled carelessly.

People had found quite some functional medical devices from the outside for the medical department to use, but drugs had been running short the whole time. People weren’t able to produce new medicines, because almost all raw materials were mutated.

This time, Leng Xuantong didn’t leave the base only to look for that stone that could cure the mania, but also search for medicines. However, the herbal medicines were no longer seen everywhere like before. In the world that was full of mutated plants, searching for the plants with medical value could be hard.

However, thinking from another angle, not all mutated plants were harmful to humans. Some plants were poisonous, but all medicines could be poisonous. The poisonous plants could become medicine if used in the right way.

Almost all bases were in the shortage of medicine. Luckily, Lin Qiao’s lake water eased that situation, because it was able to trigger the healing system of human body and repair body functions. Her base was only short of some special medicines.

“I was waiting for Zuo Chen to hit on me. I haven’t done anything yet, but he has already put himself in the hospital,” Lin Qiao spread her hands and said with disappointment.

Yun Meng looked at Lin Qiao, her green eyes filled with curiosity, “It seems that you were looking forward to it.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lin Qiao laughed, “I got myself prepared. I was worrying that he might not come to me. Well, it turns out that he really won’t. I prepared myself for nothing.”

Yun Meng nodded and said, “Perhaps they’ll send someone else.”

Lin Qiao nodded and said, “That’s possible. Keep an eye on them. I’m curious about what they’ll do next.”

Liu Wan had no idea that he and his people were all under watch. As Zuo Chen was lying in the hospital in the coma, their plan had to be postponed, because they couldn’t find another person for the job. But, even though they had postponed the plan of hitting on Lin Qiao, they never lost their interest in the farm.

“I agreed to give you only the information about our Chief and nothing else,” Huo Antong looked at Liu Wan and said with a sneer.

“Yet you didn’t provide us with anything useful. You’re running slow,” Liu Wan said with a cold face.

He attempted to learn something about the farm from Huo Antong, yet the latter refused to give him anything.

Liu Wan had learned from some workers that the farm was located in Mount Wu area, but none of the people he sent there returned. So, he had realized that the farm was kept highly secret.

Ever since the second explosion of the zombie virus, the base had stopped sending workers to the farm. Was the farm still working? Could it still grow food?

Based on what he had heard from Sea City Base and the other bases, all soil had died at the moment. The crops would either die or mutate. No healthy food could be grown.

“You didn’t say that I have to give you the information within a limited span of time, did you? When I get anything useful, I’ll surely tell you. But, I won’t give you anything that is not included in our deal,” said Huo Antong with a cold smile.

He knew what Liu Wan and his people wanted. Deep down, he laughed at those people for how over-confident they were. How dare they cast their greedy eyes on the Chief of this base? They shouldn’t overestimate themselves so much.

Did those people think that the Chief lady was only someone who had recently started to run a base? Or, did they believe that the base couldn’t possibly be founded without Sea City’s help?

Chief Wu from Sea City Base did help a lot, but the people in All Beings Base were all wildly aware of how strong their Chief was. If she wasn’t capable enough, Wu Chengyue wouldn’t work with her.

In fact, Huo Antong didn’t want to accept Liu Wan’s offer at first. However, he really needed a level-five zombie nucleus. He only agreed to give them the information about the Chief Lady because they offered him a level-five nucleus. A level-five nucleus was valuable enough to be trade for the information about a Chief.

He didn’t want to miss that chance of getting a level-five nucleus, but he wasn’t so eager for it either. If he had enough credits, he wouldn’t even talk to Liu Wan and his people.

Apart from that, Huo Antong was also curious about what kind of person the Chief lady was.

He didn’t even know her name! People only called her Miss. Lu.

“Don’t you want the zombie nucleus?” On hearing what the other said, Liu Wan pulled a long face.

Huo Antong looked at him and laughed, “Would you give me the level-five nucleus if I told you about the current condition of the farm?”

Liu Wan looked at him silently. He, of course, would not give him the nucleus. A level-five nucleus was worth a lot more than the information about a farm.

Based on what happened to the farm in the other bases, he figured that the farm in All Being Base wouldn’t be much better.

Currently, most of the people in the base had been working on the construction site in Base Number Two. Some superpowered people who weren’t willing to do construction work went out of the base to hunt for zombies.

Out there, they could earn much more than what they’d be paid by doing the jobs in the construction site.

Currently, every base had been buying zombie nuclei and energy nuclei in large batches, because Huaxia Base had developed an energy converter that could turn the nuclei into electricity. At present, the energy converters had slowly taken the place of gasoline and diesel, being used together with the solar power system.

Huaxia Base possessed that technology, and had no intention of selling it. However, they were willing to sell the energy converters that they produced.

Sea City Base had been in cooperation with Huaxia Base the whole time, and had purchased quite some converters from them. All Beings Base had purchased some of those converters from Sea City Base, as the solar power wasn’t enough for the entire base.

After all, the population had been growing.

Leng Xuantong, Lin Wenwen, Li Zheng, and his squad headed to Sea City Base together.

“Are you going for the mission too?” On their way, Lin Wenwen looked at Kong Qingming with a meaningful look in her eyes. He was heading back to Sea City Base together with the team from All Beings Base.

“Em, yeah, I’m in charge!” Kong Qingming’s pretty face wore a reasonable smile.

He glanced at Long Qingying, who was standing beside Lin Wenwen with her back toward him. He didn’t tell Lin Wenwen that after knowing about the mission, he asked Wu Chengyue to let him lead the team.

“Oh,” Lin Wenwen followed his eyes and glanced at Long Qingying, but only saw her back and a long and high ponytail. Lin Wenwen turned back and rolled her eyes to Kong Qingming, who immediately turned his eyes away.
