Chapter 1398: Mo Yan Is Back
“Are you thinking that I’m meddling? You have to know that you’re working for my sister. If you die, my brother would have to work twice as hard, wouldn’t he? I know that you want to work hard, but you have to be healthy enough to do that.” While speaking, Lin Wenwen put the food on the tea table in Yuan Tianxing’s office and stood straight, turning to look at him.
Yuan Tianxing could never last more than three seconds under her gaze. As he came to the tea table for dinner, she walked to his desk to read the file that he was reading. It was a new proposal made for Huaxia Base. After reading it, she said, “Si Kongchen came for wool and went home shorn this time.”
Yuan Tianxing dragged a chair to the tea table and sat down. Then, he picked up his bowl and chopsticks before eating. While eating, he said, “He asked for it. I can’t believe he actually thinks that he can swallow the other bases using merely his army and weapons. He wants to rule the country. He has great ambition, but he doesn’t know how to use it right.”
Recently, Si Kongchen had been acting more and more boldly. He no longer bothered to cover for his ambition. If he used his ambition to pursue peace, mankind might develop faster than now. He never thought about how to better the living environment for the people in his base, nor about the future for the next generation. All he had been thinking about was to destroy the other bases. Maybe his brain was damaged somehow.
Lin Wenwen looked at him and said, “People have different thoughts and want different things. You can’t force other people to accept what you believe. He wants to die and we shall let him. You can stop him once, but he’ll keep trying.”
She dropped the file as she spoke and started sorting the other files on Yuan Tianxing’s desk, separating the ones that had been read from those waiting to be read. Watching her do that, Yuan Tianxing realized that the work he had planned to complete at night would have to wait until tomorrow. After dinner, he needed to go home to rest, and he couldn’t bring work home!
…
After meeting with the people from Sea City Base, Yun Meng and her squad headed toward Huaxia Base to carry out the mission. Lin Qiao stayed in the base, trying to solve the underground creature problem. In the nighttime, she also needed to upgrade her zombie soldiers by batches.
Qiu Lili and Lin Kui had taken over Yun Meng’s work, collecting more nuclei than her by one and a half times. In the recent couple of days, more and more nuclei had been delivered back to the base.
At that time, Mo Yan, who had disappeared for long, returned to the base with his zombie girl in a white dress. He had re-entered level-seven and his power was already stable.
“I thought you’ve forgotten about our conversation,” Lin Qiao looked at the zombie man who was curving a corner of his mouth in a smile and raised her eyebrows as she spoke.
Mo Yan was good-looking, although that weird smile on his face had degraded his good look.
Mo Yan was wearing a black coat, sitting on the sofa in Lin Qiao’s office with his feet on the tea table and legs crossed. His slightly long hair were hanging loosely over his forehead, partially covering his perfect face. The zombie girl in a white dress was standing by his side, looking like a bodyguard.
“What? Am I not welcomed?” Mo Yan looked at Lin Qiao and gave her a bigger smile. That smile emphasized the handsomely wicked look of his, making him look like the prince from the dark world. He still had a strong vibe. He hadn’t returned to his peak yet, but he had reached level-seven nonetheless. He could already be counted as powerful.
Lin Qiao shrugged and said, “You don’t have to come back. I’ll send someone to find you when I need you.”
“I come back to ask you when do you guys plan to eliminate those Huaxia people. I have a request. Can you let me finish Si Kongchen?” Mo Yan looked at her and said.
“Why?” Lin Qiao was curious. “Is there some kind of issue between you and him?” Something crossed her mind right after she said that, and hence she continued, “Is he … one of those people?”
Mo Yan nodded at her while a strong intent of killing could be detected from his eyes. “Yeah. If he hadn’t eaten my flesh, would he be able to enter level-eight so easily?”
“Oh…” Lin Qiao nodded, comprehension dawning on her face. “Okay. I just want him dead. I don’t care who’ll take his life. However, I don’t think you’re powerful enough to kill him right now.”
Mo Yan had the power of lightning, which was highly destructive. However, he was only at level-seven currently. He might not even be able to defeat Si Kongchen, who was a level-eight being, not to mention killing him.
Mo Yan raised his brows as he looked at Lin Qiao with a smile and said, “Who said that I’ll deal with him alone? You can beat him half-dead, and then I’ll kill him.”
Lin Qiao stayed quiet.
So, it turned out that Mo Yan wanted her to put Si Kongchen down first so that he could launch the final strike to take the man’s life.
“You see, you’ll be tired when you beat him half-dead. So, by then, I’ll finish the work for you. You just want him dead, right?” As Lin Qiao didn’t look very pleased, Mo Yan continued with a naughty smile.
“I might as well launch a fierce strike and kill him nicely and neatly,” Lin Qiao rolled her eyes and said, “Since you want me to be your muscle, you got to offer me something in return. Right?”
“Well… are these good enough?” Mo Yan stayed silent for a short while and then reached a hand toward the zombie girl. The latter quickly put her black shoulder bag on his hand. He zipped open the woman’s bag and put it on the tea table.
Before the bag was zipped open, Lin Qiao detected nothing from it. However, once he opened the bag, several different types of energy burst from it. Clearly, in the bag were various nuclei. Judging by the energies types, they were from zombies, mutated beasts, and plants.
The bag was bulging, so it probably contained a good number of nuclei.
“These are one-hundred and ninety-three nuclei, from zombies, plants, beasts, including three level-seven ones from plants, thirty-eight level-six ones, and a hundred and fifty-two level-five ones,” Mo Yan put the bag on the tea table and leaned on the back of the sofa as he said to Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao glanced at the bag and nodded, “These will be enough.”
The pretty Mo Yan gave her another smile as he raised a hand and brushed his bangs, “Oh, do you have a skillful barber here? I’d like to have a haircut.”
Lin Qiao stayed quiet. At last, she sent Mo Yan to the farm to ask Liu Jun for a haircut.
