Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
A man who was no weaker than a level-seven being showed up in Sky Fire Base in secret, together with a few abnormal zombies, and talked to the leader of that base before leaving in silence. No one else knew about that conversation.
Currently, all Lin Qiao and her people knew was the mysterious man has given a message to Li Zhengye. No one knew about the contents of the message yet. It was the first time the mysterious man showed up together with zombies. The message might be related to those zombies.
Anyhow, it gave out an unsettling sign. After hearing about the mysterious man, Lin Qiao started to feel that Sky Fire Base wasn’t as simple as it looked. Also, Li Zhengye might be planning on something secretly.
“Tell Xie Dong to keep an eye on Sky Fire Base, and find a way to discover what that mysterious man has said to Li Zhengye, or figure out his next move,” Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes and said.
“Yes, ma’am!” Shen Yujen nodded.
Upstairs, Wu Chengyue walked into his study room to find Xiao Licheng sitting on the couch. He moved to his desk and asked, “Is there any news from Huaxia Base?”
If it wasn’t about Huaxia Base, Xiao Licheng wouldn’t come to see him right after lunch.
“There is news from Huaxia Base. We’ve also heard something new from Sky Fire Base,” Xiao Licheng stood up from the couch and walked to the desk, then pulled out the chair from under the desk and sat down as he put some files before Wu Chengyue.
Wu Chengyue curved his lips corners, yet the look in his eyes turned cold. “What’s it about? What kind of trick Sky Fire Base people want to play this time?”
Xiao Licheng replied, “It’s about Green Mountain Base in the Northwest. Lan Lu has been keeping it strictly secret. If the second virus explosion didn’t happen, no one would find out that they have such a powerful man in their base.
Knowing that Xiao Licheng hadn’t finished speaking yet, so Wu Chengyue looked at him with confusion.
“I a.s.sume you don’t know yet that there is a level-nine superpower possessor in Green Mountain Base,” Xiao Licheng continued with.
Wu Chengyue’s pupils shrank, and the smile on his face faded slightly. A few seconds later, he adjusted his expression as he wore a meaningful smile while saying, “Oh? Level-nine? If there is a level-nine man among them, why have they been hiding?”
“Because this level-nine man has no intention of expanding their base. Specifically, he doesn’t want to manage the base at all. He’s in a special condition,” Xiao Licheng pointed at his own head while speaking.
Wu Chengyue paused briefly with confusion. While opening the file on his desk, he asked, “What do you mean? Is there some kind of problem with his brain?”
“His brain is fine,” Xiao Licheng rested his elbows on his knees as he looked at Wu Chengyue and responded, “He has a mental problem. His condition is similar to Ling Ling’s, but it’s many times more serious.”
This time, Wu Chengyue understood his meaning. “Are you saying that he’s autistic too?” he said, “So, the other Green Mountain Base people put him under protection, right? What does that have to do with Huaxia Base and Sky Fire Base?”
“He has gone crazy,” said Xiao Licheng, “Huaxia Base people and Sky Fire Base have heard about it. They all intend to wait for his energy to be consumed up, and then take his nucleus. For that reason, the people from both Huaxia Base and Sky Fire Base have been having their eyes on the Northwest.”
Wu Chengyue narrowed his eyes and said, “A level-nine energy nucleus is tempting for those people indeed. However, it’s not easy for them to get it. They might need to wait for a long time, for the level-nine man to die of exhaustion.”
“That is their plan. However, the level-nine man has been out of control for months, and yet no bad sign was noticed from him yet. So, I guess their plan won’t lead to any good result recently unless they try to make a move to finish off that level-nine man.” Xiao Licheng thought for a moment and then said.
“Are they intending to kill him? How? They can’t possibly win. Normal weapons are harmless for that man, and the powerful weapons might destroy his energy nucleus along with his body. I don’t think they’ll make any move unless their brains are damaged,” Wu Chengyue gave a scornful smile and said blandly.
Xiao Licheng nodded.
“Does All Beings Base know about this?” Wu Chengyue asked another question. By All Beings Base, he was actually talking about Lin Qiao. All Beings Base and Green Mountain Base were in cooperation. So normally speaking, All Beings Base people should know a little about it.
Xiao Licheng shook his head and replied, “I’m not sure. But, I don’t think Miss. Lu is paying any attention to Green Mountain Base.”
On hearing that, Wu Chengyue wore a confused look as well.
At that time, Lin Qiao was talking to Shen Yujen at downstairs. “Hasn’t Lan Lu sent us any message yet?”
Shen Yujen glanced at the stairs, then turned to Lin Qiao and shook her head, “No. I think it’s because they don’t want to give up on that man. After all, they aren’t able to bring that man here under the current circ.u.mstances.”
Lin Qiao nodded seriously and said, “That’s true. The level-nine man is still out of control. And no one can approach him. Even if I gave my lake water to Lan Lu, he and his people might not be able to make him drink it.”
Both Shen Yujen and Duan Juan fell into silence.
Lin Qiao thought for a moment, then raised her head and said, “Also, tell Xie Dong to pay attention to Huaxia Base and Sky Fire Base too. I wonder if those people have found out about that level-nine man or not. Both those bases have been having their eyes on the Northwest, so I think they might have discovered the man already.”
She blinked while speaking. If that were true, Green Mountain Base might be in a bad situation at the moment.
“Yes, ma’am!”
“Go.” Having finished talking, Lin Qiao waved a hand and signaled for Duan Juan and Shen Yujen to leave.
…
After one hour of sleep, Teng finally woke up. Babies could be tired easily, yet Teng wasn’t like normal babies. He looked weak, but was actually more energetic than an adult.
After waking up, he rubbed his eyes with his chubby hands, then sat up and saw Lin Xiaolu teaching Wu Yueling and Tongtong how to write on a small desk. Hearing the noises that je made, Lin Xiaolu immediately turned toward the bed. Seeing that Teng had sat up from the bed, she asked the boy, “Teng, you’re awake! Do you want to pee?”
Teng wasn’t wearing open-crotch pants, and of course, no diaper either. Gradually, he grew the habit to go to the bathroom every time he woke up from sleep.
Hearing Lin Xiaolu’s question, Teng nodded.
“You guys keep writing,” Lin Xiaolu quickly stood up and said to the two younger kids who were learning writing. Then, she walked to the bed, picked Teng up, and left to look for the bathroom.
After taking a leak with the help of Lin Xiaolu, Teng looked at the two who were learning how to write. Suddenly, he had an idea.
“I’m so bored. How about I ask Mama to take us out to have fun?”
