Lin Qiao believed that since the problem was caused by Huaxia Base, it would be fair to use their weapons to solve it, even though she was planning on stealing those weapons. Lin Wenwen found her point sensible, but she soon thought of something else. “Does my brother-in-law know about your body condition?”
Lin Qiao felt weird hearing Lin Wenwen call Wu Chengyue ‘brother-in-law’. Her relationship with that man was really complicated. She hadn’t announced her relationship with him yet, so it was too early for Lin Wenwen to call him ‘brother-in-law’.
With that weird feeling, Lin Qiao said, “He knows about that, but he doesn’t know that I’m going to kill Si Kongchen.”
Some words he had said was exactly what woke up the zombie nature inside her body. He was the reason that Lin Qiao now had to fight Lu Tianyu the zombie over her body.
Learning that Wu Chengyue had known about Lin Qiao’s current situation, Lin Wenwen felt slightly relieved. “Oh! Are you going to deal with the problem of your body alone, or are you going to take him? Won’t he be worried if you decide to go alone? If you fail… Eh, I mean, you won’t fail.”
Lin Wenwen was worried about Lin Qiao, even though she didn’t say so. What if her sister failed and returned as a crazy zombie?
Accidents could always happen!
Lin Qiao promised Lin Wenwen that she would be fine repeatedly. It took her a while to ease the latter’s worry and send her out of the office.
The next day, before dawn, Lin Qiao left the base together with Duan Juan, who served as her driver. No one else was in the car. Apart from those zombies stationed in Lin Qiao’s space, they were the only two performing the task.
“Aren’t you going to tell Chief Wu about this action?” While driving, Duan Juan asked Lin Qiao.
Sitting on the front seat, the latter rested her head on the back of the seat and closed her eyes while folding her arms. “Why should I tell him?” she said, “I can do this myself. What does this have to do with him?”
Duan Juan couldn’t help but give her a glance, saying, “Isn’t your relationship hitting a new level now? How come you guys still keep secrets from each other?”
“I’m not keeping a secret from him,” Lin Qiao responded with, “I don’t need his permission to do things. Do I need to tell him about everything that I plan to do?”
Duan Juan thought for a moment and then shook her head, “Em, no.”
“Even married people need privacy. Besides, our relationship isn’t formal yet.” Lin Qiao had made the decision about her relationship with Wu Chengyue, but she believed it was still not the time to say that out loud. Last time, she acted aggressively to Wu Chengyue only because she was affected by the zombie inside her.
Duan Juan glanced at her again, saying, “Seriously sister, when are you going to make up your mind? You already have feelings for him, don’t you? And Chief Wu is serious about you. I think you guys make a great couple. Why do you still not want to accept him fully?”
Duan Juan knew about Lin Qiao’s past. Sensing her attitude, she immediately figured out the reason.
It had been nearly two years since Wu Chengyue started pursuing Lin Qiao. He was a patient one; he had been making efforts the whole time while she was always trying to avoid him. She had even given birth to his son, but she still didn’t want to face it.
“My relationship isn’t a problem. What about you? You’re not a little girl anymore.” Lin Qiao finally opened her eyes and glanced at Duan Juan as she threw out a question. The latter stayed silent, regretting bringing up the topic.
She felt frustrated when she heard Lin Qiao say that she wasn’t a little girl anymore. As a zombie who would never grow old, Lin Qiao had the look of a twenty-year-old girl. In comparison, Duan Juan, as a woman in her thirties, was indeed not young.
She didn’t look old, but she wasn’t a little girl anymore indeed. Lin Qiao, who used to be at the same age as her, had switched to a younger body. About that, Duan Juan was very jealous of her.
“I… I haven’t met the right person yet,” said Duan Juan helplessly. Thinking about her real age made her a little unhappy.
Lin Qiao shrugged and said, “You’re going to become a single middle-aged woman if you can’t find the right person soon.”
Duan Juan honestly didn’t know what to say. Anyhow, she didn’t want to talk to Lin Qiao anymore.
Soon, they arrived at Huaxia Base, and Lin Qiao told Duan Juan to wait on the outside. She planned to enter the base alone, as she believed that she was able to accomplish the mission by herself.
She turned herself invisible and then sneaked into Huaxia Base. Instead of going straight to Si Kongchen, she moved toward Yun Meng and found her in about ten minutes. Yun Meng was on top of a building, also invisible.
Not even a shred of shadow could be seen on the roof, but Lin Qiao could locate Yun Meng by the latter’s scent. She walked toward a corner and stood there, glancing at some small cement pieces near the mottled wall. Abruptly, she kicked on a cement piece, which was smaller than her fist.
Clap! The cement piece flew across the air and then landed on the ground.
The invisible Yun Meng, who was standing by the wall, quickly turned her head around and looked behind her. After that, she heard her Chief’s voice, “I threw the stone at you because I didn’t want to startle you.”
Yun Meng immediately showed her face and looked where the voice came from. Meanwhile, Lin Qiao showed her face as well. Standing beside Yun Meng, she nodded. They were no longer invisible, but their vibes were still perfectly hidden. They didn’t want to be spotted by Si Kongchen or the other enemies.
“What are you doing here?” Yun Meng looked at her and asked.
“Have you found out what Si Kongchen plans to do next?” Lin Qiao threw a question back.
Yun Meng nodded and said, “I’ve roughly learned about his new plan. I think he’s going to attack us directly. Currently, he’s gathering the army, including the armed force and superpowered force. They haven’t taken action yet.”
“Is he waiting for something?” Lin Qiao thought for a moment and asked.
Yun Meng nodded again, “Yes, he said he’s waiting for those underground creatures to finish upgrading. Those creatures will naturally run rampant. He’ll try to draw them to the other bases, and after that, he’ll take the opportunity to attack Sea City Base and our base.”
On hearing that, Lin Qiao sneered and said, “He’s come up with a new plan within such a short time. But sadly, I’m here to ruin his plan again!”
Yun Meng looked at her as she thought for a moment and said, “I knew you’re here to make trouble. What are you going to do?”
“I’m going to kill Si Kongchen,” said Lin Qiao coldly.
