Chapter 338: Scoop the Moon out of the Water

The zombie dog honestly looked unpleasant. Its skin was cracked, and its fur was in locks, stained by the black and sticky blood. Its eye corners were chapped as well, with blood and flesh exposed; its teeth were white and long, looking very scary.

Lin Qiao squatted by its side and said, “Look at you… you’re so ugly. You’re my dog now, but I can’t take you out to meet the others. What if you scare the children?”

“Roar…” The zombie dog turned its head to roar at Lin Qiao with discontentment, but didn’t dare to charge at her. On the contrary, it shrank its limbs and slowly crawled backward.

Right at that moment, a rope-like thing was thrown up from the lake. Lin Qiao caught it and found that it was a thumb-thick vine, about five meters long and jade-white.

Seeing the vine, Lin Qiao instantly figured out Viney’s meaning—Viney wanted her to use it as a dog leash!

“Get over here,” Lin Qiao looked at the zombie dog, which had moved a few meters backward, and shouted at it.

“Bow-wow!”

The zombie dog refused to follow her order, but sprung to its feet and turned to run.

“If you dare to run, I’ll catch you later and throw you into the lake!” Lin Qiao yelled at the dog.

“Awooo…” After making two steps forward, the zombie dog stopped abruptly.

Lin Qiao held the vine with both hands and cracked it loudly while saying to the dog, “In here, where do you think you can run? Huh?”

“Roar…” The zombie dog turned around to bark at her, then ran toward the woods.

Lin Qiao brandished the vine toward the ground, as if it was a whip. After that, she flashed across the air and swiftly chased after the zombie dog.

She was able to clearly sense the dog’s current location, and the direction that it was moving in. So, she took a short cut to block its way.

Because of Lin Qiao and the zombie dogs’ movements, Shen Yujen, who was sitting on a couch, had already hidden behind the couch, looking at the woods with fright.

She was already frightened by Lin Qiao’s vibe, but the vibe of that zombie dog scared her even more badly. After all, Lin Qiao and the other zombies had all been restraining their vibes, while the zombie dog had its vibe released fully. Apart from that, the dog’s vibe was wild and fierce, like the vibe of a ferocious predator.

Once the zombie dog rushed into the woods, it saw Lin Qiao leap down from the tree in front of it, and then the white vine in her hand fell onto its head.

Lin Qiao tied one end of the vine into a slipknot, then leaped off the tree as the dog got close, and conveniently lassoed the dog’s big head.

By the time the zombie dog realized what had happened, the vine was already around its neck.

“Roar!”

After leaping down, Lin Qiao firmly grasped the other end of the vine and tied it on the tree next to her.

“Stay where you are, or I’ll really throw you into the lake!”

“Roar! Oar!” The zombie dog which was tied on the tree by her roared ragingly and struggled while pulling the vine.

Lin Qiao warned it, then turned and walked out of the woods, leaving the dog struggling alone.

After coming out of the woods, she saw Shen Yujen. “Do you want to go out with me now?” she stopped and asked her, “I’m already on my way back to Sea City Base. We’re about one hour of drive away from the base now.”

Shen Yujen glanced at the woods worryingly, then shook her head toward Lin Qiao and lowered her head gloomily. Lin Qiao couldn’t tell what she was thinking about.

Lin Qiao didn’t try to persuade her, but looked at her and nodded, “Alright.”

After exiting her space, Lin Qiao looked at the time. It was already getting dark. So, she brought out the car and continued driving to Sea City.

…

In Sea City Base, Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying were staying in their old room while Yuan Tianxing and the others lived across the hallway. Li Zheng’s squad had gone to Hangzhou with Lin Feng, and only Du Yuanxing, Lu Junjie, and the other few soldiers who didn’t have superpowers were left here.

At this moment, Yuan Tianxing and the others were all in Lin Wenwen’s room, sitting on the couch while leisurely polishing their guns, playing cards, or reading. Some of them were sitting by the window and looking outside.

Lin Wenwen was busy in the kitchen, and Long Qingying was serving the food she made.

“The dinner is ready. Get over here, guys!” After carrying a bowl of soup out of the kitchen, Long Qingying raised her head expressionlessly to say to the others.

The few men in the living room immediately walked to the kitchen. Some washed their hands, some sat around the dining table, and some filled their own bowls with rice.

“Do you think Miss. Lu and the others are gonna be back soon?” Du Yuanxing turned to look at the dim sky and said while biting his chopsticks.

Lin Wenwen looked outside and replied, “If they’re coming back, they should be arriving at the base soon. However, Miss. Lu has always been traceless. Maybe she has arrived long ago, but hasn’t shown up yet.”

“I agree,” Long Qingying nodded and said.

Yuan Tianxing looked at Lin Wenwen and asked her, “Why didn’t you go with them? It’s not safe for you two girls to stay here. You shouldn’t go out too often during the daytime. We can handle the recruitment work.”

Lin Wenwen raised her head to look at him, then nodded and said, “We know. I just want to help you.”

After saying that, she turned her eyes away and lowered her head to eat her rice.

If Yuan Tianxing didn’t go missing for over a month last time, she wouldn’t so stubbornly want to stay around him. When he was missing, she was so anxious and worried that she might lose him. That was definitely torture for her, even making her feel suffocated. She didn’t want to suffer that pain again. So, even if it were dangerous, she still wanted to stay around him.

She knew that she was being self-willed, but she could hardly control her feelings.

Yuan Tianxing didn’t know what to say when he saw the look in Lin Wenwen’s eyes. As he turned his head, he found that all the others were silently staring at him with meaningful smiles.

“Why are you looking at me? Just eat,” Yuan Tianxing said to them smilingly. With that, those people immediately lowered their heads and began eating.

“Deputy Chief, hurry up and get yourself a wife!” At that moment, Long Qingying, who had gone to the kitchen for rice, came back and said abruptly in a bland tone.

“Eh-hem!” The others immediately turned to Long Qingying while Du Yuanxing nearly choked on the food.

Yuan Tianxing confusedly looked at Long Qingying and said, “Eh… getting a wife is a hard thing to do.”

Long Qingying sat down and coldly glanced at him, then pointed her chopstick at Lin Wenwen and said, “Why is it hard? There is one girl in front of you. You’re so close to her, so why don’t you try pursuing her? Don’t you know that guys are waiting in lines for her?”

Lin Wenwen, who was pointed at by the chopsticks, embarrassedly hit Long Qingying’s hand with her own chopsticks and said, “Qingying, stop talking nonsense!”

Long Qingying rolled her eyes toward Lin Wenwen and said, “Am I talking nonsense?”

“What you do think?” She then turned to Du Yuanxing and the others and asked them.

“Eh-hem-hem… That, ugh… Actually, Qingying is right! Deputy Chief, you can think about getting together with Wenwen!” Du Yuanxing blinked and gave his answer.

Lu Junjie and the others only held their bowls as they quietly looked at Yuan Tianxing and nodded.

Yuan Tianxing glanced at them, then said, “Wenwen is single now, so you all have a chance.”

Once he said that, the others instantly lowered their heads to focus on the food without saying a word.
