Chapter 349: Can’t Control Himself

Shen Yujen shook her head, refusing to accept Lin Qiao’s refusal. She picked up Lin Qiao’s hand and put the nucleus in it.

Lin Qiao held the nucleus and said to Shen Yuzhen while shaking her head, “In fact, you can choose to work for me if you really want to thank me. This nucleus can make you stronger, so you’ll be able to help me.”

Shen Yujen paused for a moment as she silently looked at Lin Qiao.

She had become a zombie, and her power hadn’t woken up yet. She wanted to help Lin Qiao, but she didn’t think she could give her much help.

Lin Qiao said to her, “So, if you want to work for me, keep this. After leaving this base, I’ll help you to improve your zombie level.”

While speaking, she put the nucleus back in Shen Yuzhen’s hand.

This time, Shen Yujen didn’t insist on giving the nucleus to Lin Qiao. She thought for a moment, then put the nucleus back and nodded at the latter.

Lin Wenwen brought her into the space, then turned invisible and came back out, heading to Lin Wenwen’s room.

Because of the warning given by Lu Tianyi and his friends, Lin Wenwen’s room was now heavily guarded. Lu Junjie and a few others were taking turns to guard on the balcony. In the living room, Du Yuanxing was looking at Yuan Tianxing with disdain.

“Why are you looking at me? Didn’t you say that I should come here to protect the girls? How can I protect the two of them alone? Isn’t it good for us to do it together?” Yuan Tianxing, who was sitting on a couch and reading a book, calmly glanced at Du Yuanixng and said.

Du Yuanxing rolled his eyes and said, “You alone are strong enough to do that. Why do you want us to be here too?”

“The more people, the better! Isn’t that right?”

Du Yuanxing shrugged and said, “Alright, you’re the boss. Whatever you say!”

In the bedroom, Lin Wenwen was in deep thoughts with a slight frown.

“What are you thinking about? Your eyebrows are knitting together.” Sitting on the couch, Long Qingying looked at Lin Wenwen and asked while carefully wiping her katana with a piece of cloth.

Lin Wenwen sighed and said, “Maybe me staying here will truly cause Tianxing some unnecessary troubles. I’m thinking that I was too stubborn when I decided to stay here. But, I’m struggling. I want to stay close to him, and see him.”

Long Qingying fixed her eyes on the sharp edge of her blade while responding, “As long as you’re aware that you were self-willed… As an outsider, I think if you really like him, you shouldn’t bring him any troubles. You’re a mature woman now, not a hotheaded seventeen-year-old little girl.”

While speaking, she stood her katana up before her eyes, carefully staring at its edge.

After blowing on the blade, she continued, “You want to be around him, but you also need to think about the situation. At this time, you should leave with Lin Feng and the others. Even fighting against zombies over there is better than dealing with those complicated people here. After all, we’re outsiders. You think those people will be nice to us? Think about that kid and his mother whom we met that day, then you’ll figure it out.”

Lin Wenwen nodded. Ever since that day, she didn’t dare to wear dresses again, but always wore jeans in this base.

She thought that the people in this base would show some respect to them, because they were working together with Wu Chengyue. However, she found that she was wrong. She and her friends were here to seek help, and weren’t invited here. So, the Sea City Base people hadn’t been putting them on their equal footing.

Under different circumstances, they would be treated in different ways. They were in other people’s place, so they had to bow.

She blamed herself, as she hadn’t learned to deal with her current situation yet. It might also be because her big sister protected her so well before.

At this moment, her sanity was fighting against her feelings. She told herself that she should leave Sea City Base as soon as possible, and that it was good for everyone. However, at the same time, her feelings didn’t allow her to leave Yuan Tianxing. Although Yuan Tianxing never responded to her emotionally, she still wanted to be close to him.

If only her big sister was here… Her big sister would criticize her strictly, then directly kick her away instead of leaving her here struggling. She needed someone to make decisions for her, as she really couldn’t control herself.

However, her big sister…

Thinking of Lin Qiao, Lin Wenwen felt sad.

But soon, she thought of that female zombie named Lu Tianyu. For some reason, the more time she spent with that zombie, the more she felt that the latter was like her big sister. Her handwriting, tone of speaking, some small movements, and the familiar presence… all these made her feel that her sister was with her.

Lin Wenwen often wondered why Lu Tianyu had been helping her family and her.

“Qingying, do you think my big sister… really died?” She abruptly asked Long Qingying with confusion.

Long Qingying looked at Lin Wenwen, also confusedly. “What do you mean?” she asked, “I think Chief is very strong. Maybe she didn’t die. She was defeated, but still had a great chance of survival. In fact, I never believed that she’s dead. Perhaps, she’ll come back someday.”

“If she didn’t die, has she already come back…” said Lin Wenwen unsurely.

“Maybe,” Long Qingying responded without paying too much attention to Lin Wenwen’s words.

…

At this moment, Xiao Yunlong’s car was driven into the yard of Wu Chengyue’s place.

Xiao Yunlong opened the car door and got off. As he walked into the living room, he saw Wu Chengyue and Meng Yue sitting there, seeming to be talking about leaving the base to collect supplies.

“You’re back! It’s quite late, what took you so long? Have you had dinner?” Wu Chengyue raised his head and looked at Xiao Yunlong as he asked.

“I haven’t had dinner yet,” Xiao Yunlong replied, “I lingered over there to learn about their future plans before returning.”

“Have they decided on the location? Are they ready to start the construction?” Wu Chengyue quickly asked.

Xiao Yunlong shook his head and said, “The construction work hasn’t started yet, but the location has been determined. They plan to build the fence wall of the central area first. I guess they won’t officially start the construction until Yuan Tianxing is there.”

Wu Chengyue nodded, as if he had foreseen this. “I thought so.”

At that point, Xiao Licheng abruptly rushed in and said to the people in the living room, “Chief, something happened in the research institute. Doctor Liang was killed by a grenade.”

“What did you say?” Wu Chengyue and Xiao Yunlong both looked at him with surprise.

“I just received the news,” said Xiao Licheng.

Wu Chengyue immediately stood up and threw the files in his hands onto the table, then walked outside without saying anything. Xiao Licheng hurriedly picked up his coat and left with Xiao Yunlong.

Meng Yue stood up from the couch as well. However, she didn’t follow behind the others, just watching them leave.
