Soon, footstep sounds were heard from the outside.

Wu Chengyue glanced at Wu Yueling, who was sitting still on the couch, with surprise. He had noticed that the girl seemed to have been communicating with someone. It should be the zombie lady. But, the zombie lady didn’t make any sound or write any note for Ling Ling. How had they been communicating with each other?

At that moment, Xiao Licheng came to the door. Wu Chengyue saw him before he knocked on the door, so he came straight inside.

After making two steps, he slowed down. Recently, Ling Ling always ran into her father’s arms when she saw anyone else. Why didn’t she do that today?

Wu Yueling flinched slightly as uncle Xiao looked at her. But, she didn’t run to Wu Chengyue this time. Instead, she popped her eyes and stared straight at Xiao Licheng.

Xiao Licheng slowly walked to the desk with confusion. Only after confirming that Wu Yueling was making no strong reaction did he turn to Wu Chengyue.

Wu Chengyue looked at him with composure and asked, “Has Du Kunsheng left?”

Xiao Licheng nodded slightly and said, “Em, he left the base just now.”

Wu Chengyue had foreseen that. He didn’t change his expression, but kept the faint smile on his face and said, “What he needs the most now is food. I think he’s in a rush to ship the food back to the Northeast.”

It would be a long and arduous journey. The sooner he took off, the sooner he would get through it. Besides, the survivors in Heilong Base were almost running out of food.

“He’s smart. Leaving that alliance that Huaxia Base founded is clearly safer for him,” said Xiao Licheng.

“He is very cautious. He doesn’t want to put himself in a too dangerous a situation. Besides, whether Huaxia Base will succeed or not, it would do him no good. It was better for him take the risk and complete the deal alone,” said Wu Chengyue.

Du Kunsheng was scheming, cattish, and could be cruel-hearted too. However, everything he attained, he attained it for the people in his base. He cared for his base and his peop;e whole-heartedly. He was a nice leader, actually. If he were stronger, he would be considered as the real leader of Heilong Base.

“The food he got from us can only last the four-hundred-thousand survivors in his base three months, even if they save it as much as they can. Also, after what will happen this time, I think he’ll stop working with Huaxia Base,” Xiao Licheng sighed.

“I guess he has spent the last nuclei he had this time,” said Wu Chengyue, “Oh, don’t forget to block the messages of Wei Haichao and the others tomorrow. Don’t let them find out about our plan.”

“Yes, sir!” Xiao Licheng nodded, then asked, “What about Ling Ling?”

They couldn’t bring her out of the base with them, could they?

“Ling Ling will stay at home tomorrow,” said Wu Chengyue with a faint smile, “Someone will look after her.”

Xiao Licheng frowned slightly and asked with concern, “Is she okay with that?”

What if her illness attacked while her father was gone?

Wu Chengyue nodded and said, “Of course, she’s okay with it. Don’t worry! I’m her father, but I’m not worried. You’re just an uncle. Why are you so worried?”

“Can’t an uncle be worried about her? What are you talking about?” Xiao Licheng looked at his boss and rolled his eyes. However, judging by Wu Chengyue’s calm attitude, Xiao Licheng figured that he did find someone reliable to look after the kid. He was curious about who that was though. Except for her father and the zombie lady from All Beings Base, the little girl didn’t seem to let anyone else get close to her.

“Alright. I know that you’re worried about Ling Ling. But listen to me, she’ll be fine!” Wu Chengyue smiled as he looked at Xiao Licheng and said, “Send a man to Base Number Two of All Beings Base and tell Xie Dong, the head of the intelligence department, to come here.”

“Alright,” Xiao Licheng nodded and responded at first, then asked with curiosity, “But, why do you want him here?”

“Em, someone wants to see him. Just tell him to come here as soon as possible,” said Wu Chengyue.

“Yes, sir!” Xiao Licheng had no other choice but to restrain his curiosity. After settling the schedule for tomorrow, he left.

Wu Chengyue glanced outside, then looked at the time. Realizing that it was about dinner time, he stood up.

“Come on, Ling Ling! We’re going downstairs for dinner.” He stood by the couch and reached out toward Ling Ling while talking to her. Wu Yueling obediently slid off the couch and held her father’s hand, then turned back to look at the empty couch.

No one was seen on the couch, but there was a dent on it, as if someone invisible was sitting there. That was true, actually.

Soon, the invisible lady stood up and the dent on the couch disappeared.

Feeling Wu Chengyue touch her head, Wu Yueling turned to look at her father. The rabbit that was squatting in a corner followed behind her and hopped out of the room.

Wu Chengyue held her hand and walked out of the room. After they left, the door closed itself.

After going downstairs, Wu Yueling quietly held the rabbit and sat down on the couch in the living room while Wu Chengyue walked into the kitchen to cook.

Lin Qiao watched Wu Yueling turn the rabbit from side to side to play with it, and the rabbit relax its body to let the girl do what she wanted. She felt a little bored, so she glanced around and then looked outside the door, deciding to try again and see if she could leave the house.

She walked to the door and opened it to walk out. The sun had fallen, and the air temperature was dropping rapidly. At night, the air temperature would drop to eleven or twelve degrees, even if it were July.

That didn’t affect Lin Qiao though. For her, night time was more comfortable than daytime, because she was afraid of the heat.

The other zombies were normally more active during the day time, because they could absorb the solar power. During the night time, as the air temperature dropped, their activity would reduce as well. Lin Qiao was the reverse of that.

Lin Qiao closed the door, then walked to the yard and glanced at the sky. It was windy at night.

A guard that was secretly guarding the house confusedly looked at the door open and close. No one came out, so he figured that someone was standing behind the door and swinging it. He had no idea that the one who opened the door had already come out. He just couldn’t see her.

Lin Qiao walked forward and reached the spot that she was stuck at during the day time, only to find that she was able to walk further away.

‘Eh?’

She paused with surprise, then tried to take two more steps forward. She found to her delight that she really could walk further away.

Had she been freed from that weird state?

While she was still filling happy, she was stuck at the gate of the yard.
