Chapter 569: Suddenly So Much Work to Do

“Burn? Spread through the air?” Lin Qiao knitted her brows into a frown. That did not sound good.
If the antidote could be spread through the air, she would have no way of resisting it, unless she brought all her zombies into her s.p.a.ce. But in that way, it would be impossible for her to win the battle.
“If you can’t avoid it, I think you might be in a very dangerous situation. So, you should prepare for it as soon as you can,” Wu Chengyue said.
“They can’t produce a huge amount of the antidote, can they?” Lin Qiao asked.
She knew that human beings would try their best to develop the antidote, but didn’t expect them to achieve the breakthrough so quickly. She thought that it would take them one or two decades.
However, she was wrong. She was too naive!
“I don’t think so. The current success rate is only sixty-seven percent. And, the main ingredient is that zombie’s blood. So, I guess Huaxia Base people don’t dare to produce that kind of antidote in large batches yet,” Wu Chengyue nodded as he a.n.a.lyzed the situation and continued, “I think you should lay low, as much as you can.”
“I don’t need you to tell me that!” Lin Qiao glanced at him. In fact, she was weighing how much the success rate would be if she headed to Huaxia Base now to steal or destroy that zombie.
Huaxia Base was about one-thousand and two-hundred miles away from Hangzhou; it was a little further away than Hades Base. Also, Huaxia Base was much more powerful than Sea City Base and the other regular large bases.
Huaxia Base had a good number of superpowered people, and most of them were at high levels. The base was also designed with an extra-strong defense, and armed with powerful weapons. The mere outer fence wall was armed with at least five types of cannons which had different shooting ranges and effects. Many places in that base were heavily armored.
Lin Qiao might be able to sneak in with her invisibility, but she didn’t know if any of those superpowered people in that base had any special sensing abilities, or could directly break her invisibility.
Not to mention the fact that that zombie was the key of the antidote. Huaxia Base people wouldn’t possibly just keep that zombie in a random place. Instead, that zombie must be guarded by lots of powerful people and heavily armed soldiers. Alternatively, it might be hidden somewhere that the others didn’t know about.
Also, she would have to spend a couple of days on it, without knowing if she could make it or not.
Long Yubai and his people had been fixing their greedy eyes on Upper City Base. Things would become troublesome if those people attacked the base while she wasn’t here. Qiu Lili and Yun Meng were two powerful zombies, but they weren’t as smart as the enemies. Therefore, even though the base was under their guard, Lin Qiao was still worried.
Long Yubai was beaten last time, so he would definitely be more vigilant this time. Besides, he had a level-eight ally now. That was the biggest problem.
However, even if she couldn’t go to Huaxia Base to kill that zombie, she at least needed to figure out how much antidote they had produced so far, and where did it all go, and which bases had already attained it.
Lin Qiao sighed, suddenly finding that she had so much work to do.
Noticing the serious and calm look in her eyes, Wu Chengyue felt that she really did not look like Lu Tianyu. Without the information that he got earlier and Lu Tianyi’s confirmation, he wouldn’t believe that Lu Tianyu had become a completely different soul after turning into a zombie.
The vibe that she had was growing stronger and stronger. Although her base was pathetically underpopulated, her vibe was as strong as his. That was really impressive.
Wu Chengyue didn’t realize that he had been staring at Lin Qiao the whole time. Lin Qiao noticed his gaze and said to him, “Why are you looking at me like that? Do I owe you any money?”
Wu Chengyue’s expression froze for a second, then he said in an unfriendly tone, “Am I looking at you in that way?” He believed that he was looking at her in a normal way, yet she felt that he was like a debt collector.
Lin Qiao looked at him with confusion and asked, “Why did you give me such valuable information? Do you want something from me?”
She had just extorted a few level-six zombie nuclei and some seeds from him. And now, he actually gave her such important information. Lin Qiao believed that he must have a purpose. There must be something that he wanted from her.
“Why can’t it be because I’m worried about you?” Wu Chengyue said smilingly.
“Like I’d believe that,” Lin Qiao rolled her eyes, then lowered her head and said to Wu Yueling, “Ling Ling, tell me what your Daddy wants?”
Wu Yueling raised her head to look at Lin Qiao with her big, watery eyes. This time, she took her father’s side.
“Eh? Why does he care about me?” Lin Qiao looked at Wu Yueling with surprise.
Then, Wu Yueling threw herself into Lin Qiao’s arms, putting her little arms around the latter’s waist. ‘Because Daddy wants you to be my Mommy!’
Lin Qiao didn’t know how to respond.
‘Take no offense at a child’s babble !’ she said to herself.
“Didn’t you say that you have something to tell me too?” Wu Chengyue changed the topic.
“Oh, Qiu Lili came back not long ago. She and Yun Meng failed to catch that wind-powered man, because he wasn’t a level-seven. He was at level eight. Also, I have confirmed his ident.i.ty. I think he’s Lu Zhuofeng,” Lin Qiao wore a serious expression and said.
“Eh? Are you sure it’s Lu Zhuofeng? Why did he come to east China? And, you said that he’s at level-eight… Is that real?” Wu Chengyue stopped smiling and asked expressionlessly.
“Believe it or not. I’ve already told you anyway,” Lin Qiao shrugged.
“Can’t we have a friendly conversation?” Wu Chengyue was pretty dissatisfied, as the female zombie acted like it had nothing to do with her at all. She was serious a second ago.
Did she want him to believe her or not?
At that moment, a series of footsteps were heard from the outside. Meanwhile, Lin Qiao sensed Yuan Tianxing’s scent.
Knock, knock! The door was knocked twice.
“Come in,” Lin Qiao answered the door. Then, she saw Duan Juan open the door to let Yuan Tianxing in.
“Have a seat!” Lin Qiao pointed at the chair next to her and said to Yuan Tianxing, who sat down and silently looked at Wu Chengyue.
Noticing his gaze, Wu Chengyue gave him a glance confusedly.
Yuan Tianxing turned to look at Lin Qiao with confusion, who looked at both of them, feeling confused as well.
Once again, Yuan Tianxing turned to look at Wu Chengyue.
“Oh, you can leave now!” Lin Qiao finally realized where the problem was. So, she turned to Wu Chengyue and said to him.
Wu Chengyue silently stood up and walked up to her. “Alright, Ling Ling, let’s head back,” he said to his daughter. However, Wu Yueling ignored him and kept her arms around Lin Qiao.
