Lin Qiao spent two hours to bring Wu Yueling out of the hospital. After entering that room, she didn’t approach the little girl, but stayed by the end of the bed. She put the rabbit on the bed, but it refused to go to Wu Yueling. It jumped off the bed and hopped onto Lin Qiao’s foot again.
Wu Yueling fixed her eyes on the rabbit and raised her head to look at Lin Qiao from time to time. As Lin Qiao didn’t seem to put the rabbit back onto the bed, she slid off the bed and put on her little shoes before walking toward Lin Qiao.
Then, Lin Qiao bent over and picked up the rabbit. Instead of handling the rabbit to the little girl, she said, “Your father is going home tomorrow. Can you go home with him? If you go home together with your father tomorrow, I’ll give you this fat rabbit. It will be your rabbit. Is that good?”
Hearing that, Wu Yueling had her eyes glowing slightly. However, she then realized that she would have to leave the room, and became unhappy again. She spent a short while looking at the rabbit, then turned to Wu Chengyue, seemingly to ask for his opinion.
Wu Chengyue smilingly stood up, then nodded and said, “Daddy is going home tomorrow. Ling Ling is going home too. We’ve been here for quite a while. It’s time to go home.”
After that, Lin Qiao put the rabbit into the little girl’s arms, then scooped up the girl and brought her out of the room.
Coming out of the room, Wu Yueling immediately held the rabbit tight and automatically buried her head in Lin Qiao’s neck. She shut her eyes tightly, seeming to be scared. Lin Qiao glanced at the others while gently patting Wu Yueling’s back to comfort her. At the same time, she walked out of the hospital.
Meanwhile, Wu Chengyue packed Wu Yueling’s belongings and then followed her out. Duan Juan and Xiao Licheng both stepped away from the little girl as they knew about her condition. Lin Hao walked side by side with Lin Qiao, but kept a distance from her.
“You’re a lot more useful than her father,” Lin Hao said while scornfully glancing back at Wu Chengyue, who was left speechless and did not know what to say. He gave Lin Hao a glance with a sour face and found that the latter had already turned away.
After leaving the medical department, Lin Qiao gave Wu Yueling back to her father, then said to her, “Good girl, listen to your father. I’ll visit you when I have time.”
Wu Yueling held the rabbit and let her father put her into the car.
The next day, Wu Chengyue and his people finally left. Lin Qiao sighed with relief when she heard about that from Shen Yujen.
She had a meeting with Yuan Tianxing, Lin Feng, and some others. After that, Lin Feng received a message from his subordinate, Qian Xiaoai.
An underground cave was found in Ningbo City, with strange creatures living within. Those creatures were strong and fast. More importantly, those weren’t normal mutated creatures. No one knew what they were.
“Those creatures are large. They said that the one they saw was about two meters long. It had four limbs and very sharp claws. The team had twenty-eight people, but they were attacked by those creatures and twenty of them died in no time. The ones who got out were relatively strong. The weak ones had been dragged away by those creatures,” said Qian Xiaoai.
Lin Feng took over the file from him and frowned silently.
“They said that a lot of those creatures are down there, and that there were many long tunnels underground. I guess it covers a large range. They didn’t find out much about those creatures though. If we are sending people to that area, we need to send some strong ones, or they might not be able to come back,” said Qian Xiaoai with a slight frown and then stopped talking. His job was to deliver the message to Lin Feng, not to make any decisions.
“I’ll talk to Chief,” Lin Feng nodded.
The underground cave wasn’t close to All Being Base, but it wasn’t far away either. The hunters from All Being Base often visited that area. For the safety of the people in the base, Lin Feng believed that he should figure out what exactly those creatures were.
Not long after Lin Qiao returned to her office in Base Number Two, Duan Juan told her that Lin Feng was there to see her.
“What’s wrong?” She was a little surprised. If he needed to talk to her, why didn’t he talk to her during the meeting just now instead of following her all the way to Base Number Two?
Lin Feng walked into her office, then handed her the file and said, “I received the message just now. I think it’s probably serious. I want to go to the scene and take a look.”
“What’s serious?” Lin Qiao took over the fire and browsed through it with curiosity.
“It’s a new species. They live underground. We don’t know if they’ll come up here. They’re dangerous, and have a large population. I want to go and see if they’ll come out and cause any harm to our base,” Lin Feng sat straight as he said with a serious look.
Unknown situations could bring people a sense of crisis. If those creatures turned out to be highly threatening, people needed to be ready for what might happen. Of course, it would be great if they were not threatening to the base.
Lin Qiao read the file, then nodded and said, “Okay. But, don’t take anyone under level-three. Take a few who are good at surviving. I’ll send Three, Four, and five zombie leaders to go with you.”
Then, she turned and said to Shen Yujen, who was standing at the door, “Jen, go and find Three and Four.”
“Yes ma’am!” Shen Yujen nodded and left, and soon came back with a middle-aged man and a boy in face mask.
Lin Feng had seen them before. They were both zombies, and had regained some of their memories. She nodded at them slightly to greet them.
Three and Four both glanced at Lin Feng silently, and the former nodded back.
“There is a mission. You two will lead five zombie leaders who are good at long-range attacking to carry it together with him and his people. Don’t let the others find out who you are,” Lin Qiao said to the two of them.
She was planning on letting the zombie squad follow behind Lin Feng’s team to protect them secretly. But, she then realized that they might need to go down into the underground cave. In that case, letting them act together might be a better choice.
Three and Four glanced at Lin Feng together, then turned back to Lin Qiao and nodded.
Lin Qiao read the file again. Somehow, she recalled how the rat group erupted, as well as the second explosion of the virus. She started to wonder if those mysterious creatures had anything to do with the second explosion of the virus.
