Chapter 301: Miss Each Other
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
About ten seconds later, Yuan Tianxing, Du Yuanxing, Lin Yu, and the others headed to Wu Chengyue’s place.
In Wu Chengyue’s house, Meng Yue and Moli were both in Ling Ling’s room. Wu Chengyue, Xiao Yunlong, and Dashu the doctor were sitting in the living room, looking worried.
Xiao Licheng suddenly ran into the living room and said, “Chief, Deputy Chief Yuan is here!”
Wu Chengyue immediately raised his head and responded, “Let him in, hurry!”
With that, Xiao Licheng ran out, and Yuan Tianxing walked in alone a few seconds later.
Seeing him, Wu Chengyue and the others stood up. Xiao Yunlong stepped away from the armchair that he was sitting on, then pointed at it and said to Yuan Tianxing, “Please have a seat!”
Then, he walked aside and dragged over a chair for himself.
Yuan Tianxing sat down. Seeing the worried look in their faces, he asked with concern, “Isn’t Ling Ling getting better?”
The three men shook their heads.
Ever since she drank the water provided by Yuan Tianxing, her condition never changed. Currently, she was still in a semi-coma state. Her body temperature had dropped to fifty degrees, but it then stopped changing.
No further effects were shown after that, no matter how much more lake water she drank. The awakening of her power had just paused.
Liang Dashu tried many ways, but none of those worked.
Meng Yue came back as soon as she could after waking up in the hospital. She recovered quickly, but felt very guilty for letting a level-six zombie take Ling Ling away when they were outside. So, she had been with Ling Ling the whole time since she came back.
Yuan Tianxing said worriedly, “I don’t know what will happen in the end if the situation continues.”
His words made the three men wear a sullen look.
Wu Chengyue soon managed his expression, then asked, “Sorry for not asking before, but why are you suddenly here?”
“There’s something that I need to seek confirmation from you,” said Yuan Tianxing, “I wonder if you have heard that Chief Yang from your base is secretly going after my friends out there?”
Hearing that, Wu Chengyue immediately showed a serious look. “Ah, right!” he said, “I heard about that just now. In fact, I had guessed that you were here for this. I heard that Yang Chao has secretly ganged up with a group of robbers out there, and that they’ve made some kind of a deal. Days ago, those robbers headed to where you came from.”
“I was going to send someone to let you know,” said Xiao Yunlong, “But, you got the message already.”
“So, the message is true?” said Yuan Tianxing anxiously, “Then, Lin Feng and the others are in danger! And, a leader of your base is actually in league with robbers outside. Don’t you have a view about that?”
Xiao Yunlong turned to glance at Wu Chengyue, who said, “Currently, we’re trying our best to collect evidence against him. No matter what view we have about it, without concrete evidence, we won’t be able to do anything to him.”
Yuan Tianxing looked at him speechlessly, as he had no way to disagree that. He then nodded and said, “Alright! Since you’ve confirmed that the message is true, I think I need to make a trip out of your base now. Sorry for bothering you!”
While speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Wu Chengyue and the other two stood up as well. Wu Chengyue waved a hand at him and said, “Wait, I’ll send Yunlong with you. I heard that those robbers who’re working for Yang Chao aren’t just some ordinary robbers. I guess at least two of them are at level-six. You won’t be able to handle them alone!”
While speaking, he glanced at Xiao Yunlong, who nodded back. Yuan Tianxing looked at Wu Chengyue with surprise. He didn’t think that Wu Chengyue would send Xiao Yunlong to accompany him.
Seeing the look on his face, Wu Chengyue smiled and said, “Please don’t look at me like that. Because of your help, Ling Ling is in a better condition now. I can’t leave her right now, or I’d go out with you myself to find Lin Feng and your other friends. But, I can only ask Xiao Yunlong to do it for me.”
Yuan Tianxing nodded gratefully, “Thank you!”
“No need to thank us,” said Xiao Yunlong, “You’re very welcome. Plus, you’ve helped us as well. We should help each other, and we all are not ungrateful people.”
Yuan Tianxing nodded and said to Wu Chengyue, “We’ll be leaving then… See you next time!”
Wu Chengyue walked him to the door while saying, “If anything happens, remember to send someone back to inform me.”
“Alright, thank you!” said Yuan Tianxing.
After watching Yuan Tianxing and Xiao Yunlong walk out, Liang Dashu said, “I wonder what Yang Chao is planning to do to you this time. Aren’t you gonna strike back?”
Wu Chengyue’s face turned cold as he said, “I will, after I have solved Ling Ling’s problem. Does he really think that I know nothing?”
He knew about many of Yang Chao’s small tricks. He ignored those because they wouldn’t do him any considerable harm. Normally, he only watched Yang Chao like watching a clown.
Ling Ling’s condition was the most important thing right now. As for Yang Chao’s plan, he would react to it later.
“He’s getting more and more blatant now. He must have found out about Ling Ling’s condition,” said Liang Dashu, “I guess he wants to seize this opportunity to cause you some troubles. You need to be careful.”
Wu Chengyue’s face wore a grim expression. The elegance that he was showing just now was gone as he said, “If he dares to hurt Ling Ling, I’ll kill him!” As he said the word ‘kill’, a heavy murderous intention was released from his body.
Liang Dashu looked at him, but didn’t say anything else.
At that point, Yuan Tianxing, Wu Chengyue, and Yang Chao all had no idea that Lin Feng and his people were arriving at Sea City Base.
Two hours later, after entering Sea City Base, Lin Feng and his family learned that Yuan Tianxing and the others had headed out of the base to find them.
After getting out of the registry office, Lin Feng and the others seemed to be a little confused.
“So, have we missed them?” Cheng w.a.n.gxue asked. Lin Feng nodded as he helplessly covered his forehead with a hand. They came all the way here to find Yuan Tianxing, yet he had left. And, they took different routes, so they missed each other.
Lin Qiao stood beside Lin Feng and said, “Don’t worry about that. I can take some people to find them. You should find a place in this base to settle down for now. By the way, you can also ask around about Yuan Tianxing’s progress here.”
People might wonder how she managed to pa.s.s all the virus detectors and enter the base. In fact, she had turned herself invisible and directly walked in. No one saw her, and she didn’t need to do any registration. So, the entire Sea City Base didn’t know that she was in the base yet.
When Tang He the robber came in, Yang Chao’s people had disguised him.
Hearing Lin Qiao’s words, Lin Feng somehow stopped worrying. “That’s the only way. After all, you’re better than finding people than us,” he said.
Standing next to him, Chen Yuting, who had guided them into the base, said, “They should still be nearby. If you go now, you’ll have a good chance of finding them.”
As it was the first time for Lin Feng and his people to visit Sea City Base, Chen Yuting and his teammates had shown their hospitality. They first guided their guests to the registry office, then found them temporary accommodation.
