“He accepted your condition so easily? Is that Deputy Chief very important to Sea City Base?” Mrs. Lin asked.
“He should have accepted it. Yan Fangyu isn’t worth much, but she’s a Deputy Chief of Sea City Base after all, and a female Deputy Chief at that. Even though she’s not what people think she is, she did manage to get the Deputy Chief’s position. In that position, she’s certainly influential, both inside and outside. Therefore, Wu Chengyue has to save her, willingly or not, to prevent unnecessary future troubles,” Lin Qiao walked to a chair and sat down.
“Is that so?” Mrs. Lin finally understood. “I thought five level-six zombie nuclei would be too many, and that he might try to bargain,”
“I thought so too, but he unexpectedly did not,” Lin Qiao nodded, then glanced at Wu Yueling.
After coming out of Mrs. Lin’s room, Lin Qiao asked Qiu Lili to tell Yuan Tianxing that once the things which Wu Chengyue promised her were delivered, Yan Fangyu could be released. Then, she brought Liu Jun into her s.p.a.ce and went down to the lake with the few level five and four zombie nuclei that the zombie old man brought back earlier, to help Liu Jun upgrade.
“The female zombie has disappeared again! Why does your new Chief always disappear?” Wu Chengyue came out of the conference room and searched around, but didn’t see Lin Qiao. So, he said to Chen Yuting with discontentment.
“How am I supposed to know? She can go anywhere she wants, can’t she? Alright, you keep looking for her yourself. I still have work to do,” Chen Yuting looked at him confusedly and said, then left quickly.
“Where’s Ling Ling?” Wu Chengyue asked Xiao Licheng.
“She’s playing with Lin Feng’s daughter in Mrs. Lin’s room,” Xiao Licheng answered his question.
“Let her play then. Let’s go to Mount Wu area and see what that female zombie has turned that place into,” said Wu Chengyue.
“Eh? Aren’t you gonna see the fence wall first?” Xiao Licheng looked at him and asked.
“We’ll do that when we get back,” Wu Chengyue said, then turned and left.
Xiao Licheng felt a little speechless. He had no choice but to follow Wu Chengyue, as the latter was the boss.
They needed to go through the zombie wall to get to Mount. Wu area, as that mountain was located outside the zombie wall.
That was not difficult for Wu Chengyue. Soon, he brought Xiao Licheng to Mount Wu area and found that farmland.
“Roar!”
They walked to the roadside and saw tens of level-three-or-four zombies doing damage to the hill nearby. The soil in the farmland before them was well-furrowed. Some healthy pumpkin plants and potato plants were growing in that field. Some sweetcorn plants and sweet potatoes plants were scattered on the edges of the field as well.
The farmland seemed to be thriving.
As Wu Chengyue showed up, those zombies who had been exerting on the hill all stopped moving, then turned and fixed their eyes on Wu Chengyue and Xiao Licheng.
Seeing the two of them, Shen Yujen quickly walked out of the wooden cabin.
“Oh, that’s Chen Yuting’s wife,” Wu Chengyue saw her, then walked down into the field, toward the cabin.
As the two came down, Shen Yujen stood by the cabin, waiting for them.
“Roar!”
Shen Yujen was pretty calm, but the other zombies weren’t.
That was their territory! Those two human beings had actually entered their place! Wu Chengyue was so strong, and the pressure he gave out was so great. Therefore, those zombies didn’t dare to approach him, and only growled at him from a distance.
Wu Chengyue walked close to those plants, and found that all those potatoes, pumpkins, sweetcorns and sweet potatoes were very healthy. They were even healthier than normal plants, and their leaves were much larger.
“I think she developed this farmland not long ago. Why are these plants growing so fast?” Wu Chengyue asked Xiao Licheng with confusion.
“That’s… These plants are indeed different from the normal ones. I think you should ask her about that. Or maybe, let’s ask Jen?” Xiao Licheng looked around to observe the plants around his feet, then nodded in agreement with Wu Chengyue. After that, he raised his head and quickly glanced at Shen Yujen who was standing by the wooden cabin.
“This place is full of zombies. She made zombies do farm work. People would be so shocked if they found out about this. I don’t think people would believe this without seeing it with their own eyes,” Wu Chengyue walked up to Shen Yujen and said.
Shen Yujen smiled at him, then glanced at the farmland.
“Are these zombies reclaiming those wastelands? Are they gonna grow crops on hills?” Wu Chengyue pointed at the group of zombies which had been staring at him silently.
Those zombies scattered by the edge of the hill. Some weeds and trees near them had been cut off from the roots. Wu Chengyue didn’t see them holding tools, so he guessed that they cut those trees with their claws. A few piles of charcoals were seen in the surroundings. He figured that those zombies might have burned the cut-off weeds and trees.
Shen Yujen looked at him, then raised a hand and drew a circle around herself.
“Are you saying that she’s going to plow this whole area? Hmm… With these zombies? Why don’t these zombies run? They’re so obedient!” Wu Chengyue smilingly glanced at those zombies as he spoke.
Shen Yujen shook her head, then lowered her head to look around. After that, she turned and walked to the wooden cabin, picking up a stick from a pile of firewood. Then, she came up to Wu Chengyue and wrote on the ground with the stick, ‘There’s an order. They don’t dare to run.’
“Order? Oh… I get it. She has given them an order, right? Being a zombie leader seems to be pretty easy. Where is she?” Wu Chengyue nodded and then asked.
Shen Yujen wiped the words on the ground with her foot, then wrote a few new ones—’She’s in her s.p.a.ce, upgrading.’
“Upgrade? Whom? Herself?” Wu Chengyue stared at the words on the ground and asked.
No way! Did that female zombie start upgrading after finis.h.i.+ng the negotiations with him? Was she upgrading again? She was at level-seven! Was upgrading getting easier and easier for her? Could she upgrade whenever she wanted to?
Clearly, Wu Chengyue was overthinking.
Shen Yujen soon continued writing, ‘No, she’s helping Liu Jun to upgrade.’
Wu Chengyue sighed with relief. “Oh, Liu Jun is the one who’s with a little boy, right? Is she upgrading as well?”
This time, Shen Yujen didn’t write, and just nodded at him.
“Alright. Since she can’t come out now, we should just head back, so that those zombies can stop drooling at us.” After learning that Lin Qiao was in her s.p.a.ce helping Liu Jun with the upgrade, Wu Chengyue instantly planned to leave.
Shen Yujen watched him and Xiao Licheng leave, then realized that he was here to look for Miss. Lu
As Wu Chengyue left, the group of zombies finally relaxed and continued working.
