Chapter 981: The Binding is Gone
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After walking out of the side door of the medical department, Lin Qiao glanced back at the medical department, then got into the car. As the car drove away from the medical department, she silently calculated the distance between herself and Wu Chengyue.
At that moment, Wu Chengyue was near the front door of the medical department, sitting in the car seemingly waiting for something. Xiao Licheng was sitting in the driver’s seat, with one hand on the steering wheel and upper body turned slightly backward, eyes on Wu Chengyue.
He didn’t understand Wu Chengyue told him to wait for a moment just now. As the man’s subordinate, it wasn’t appropriate for him to ask any question. With no other choice, he waited for the boss’s order.
Quite a while later, Wu Chengyue said, “Let’s head back and pack our things. We might need to move somewhere else after dawn.”
Xiao Licheng instantly started the car. While driving, he said, “Move somewhere else? Why?”
Wu Chengyue curved his lips corners in a small smile and said, “Because we have no reason to stay there.” In his eyes was a disappointed look.
Base Number Two in All Beings Base had always been a secret, and the two of them were outsiders. They were allowed to stay in Base Number Two only because Wu Chengyue needed to stay close to the zombie lady, and the zombie lady had to stay in Base Number Two. Now, as the binding between them was gone, she would surely ask him to leave.
Besides, Base Number Two was full of zombies. As two living human beings, Wu Chengyue and Xiao Licheng were as tempting to those zombies as two well-roasted pork knuckles.
Sitting in the car, Lin Qiao sensed the distance between Wu Chengyue and herself grow longer than two-hundred meters. Realizing that she was no longer bonded together with him, she sighed with relief, finally feeling free.
During the past two months, she was bonded together with Wu Chengyue and had to follow him everywhere. She was very, very unhappy about that. Wu Chengyue agreed to go to the places that she wanted to go to, yet she was still not happy, because her activities were limited by him.
She always hated being restrained. What she hated more was the people who tried to threaten her. Most of the people who did that didn’t end up well. But this time, she tolerated Wu Chengyue for the sake of Viney.
Apart from feeling free and relaxed, she somehow also felt a little disappointed. She knew where that feeling came from, yet she didn’t want to dig deep into it.
After all, she was with that man the whole time during the past two months. She had gradually gotten used to his presence and his vibe. Even if they didn’t have s.e.x again, she would still feel slightly disappointed at the moment.
Thankfully, she had always been rational. Currently, she had romantic relations.h.i.+ps cast out of her life, so even though she felt a little disappointed, she pretended not to realize it and stayed expressionless.
Instead of going straight to her office, she first returned to where she lived and got changed. She put on her old army green suit, including the loose-fitting pants and s.h.i.+rt, the army coat, and the cap that she hadn’t worn for long, along with her combat boots.
Finally, she could tuck her s.h.i.+rt into her pants again. That made her sigh with relief.
Wearing casual clothing in her office made her feel not serious enough, not to mention how inconvenient those casual clothes could be when she left the base for missions.
She put a hand on her lower belly, which was already flat. Unlike the other new mothers, her belly turned flat again right after she gave birth to the baby. She was already a zombie. She absorbed energy to nourish her dead blood and flesh, but would never grow one slight bit of extra fat.
However, the pregnancy did make her lower belly saggy. Her abdomen skin hadn’t restored its elasticity, so her belly looked flabby. The shape of her waist didn’t change though. After putting on her clothes, she was again a s.e.xy zombie who had full b.r.e.a.s.t.s, slim waist, round hips, and long legs.
She brushed her hair that were hanging loosely over her shoulder with her fingers, then put on the cap and went out of her flat, heading toward her office. Seeing her in that familiar military suit, Duan Juan and Shen Yujen had a complicated feeling. What they felt the most strongly was that the zombie lady has regained her sharp vibe.
No wonder she seemed to become so much gentler before. It was because she was pregnant! How come they didn’t realize that!
“Send someone to re-accommodate Chief Wu. Ask him to move to Base Number One. It’s really inconvenient for him to stay here,” After leaving her apartment, Lin Qiao said to Duan Juan.
“Yes, ma’am,” Duan Juan nodded.
Before going to her office, Lin Qiao entered her s.p.a.ce and showed up on the gra.s.sland on the other side of the lake, right beside a mutated goat that was nursing its baby.
The goat gave a start when she suddenly showed up. It sprung up from the ground, then turned and attempted to run. However, Lin Qiao swiftly caught it and then brought it into the woods, tying it to a tree with the vine that Viney left. That vine was unbreakable.
Then, she found a medium-sized bowl and a cup of water from her house, and went back to the goat.
Soon, she exited her s.p.a.ce holing a bowl of goat milk covered by a lid. “Send this to the medical department and give it to Doctor Lin. Tell him that this is for Viney.” She said to Shen Yujen.
“Viney?” Shen Yujen paused briefly with surprise. Based on Lin Qiao’s words, she could guess whom the bowl of milk was for, but Viney’s name made her doubt it.
That was a boy, wasn’t it? Why did he have such a girly nickname?
“Ah,” Lin Qiao smiled and said, “I’ve been calling him that and can’t seem to change it immediately. Go.”
“Yes, ma’am,” Shen Yujen left with the milk.
Lin Qiao walked to the administration building. In her office, she took off her cap and put it aside, then started working.
On the other side of the base, Wu Chengyue was talking to Xiao Licheng, “Send Yue Shan back to our base to bring some milk powder over, as well as some baby’s clothes and other supplies. Tell him to deliver those here as soon as possible.”
“Sure!” Xiao Licheng nodded knowingly.
…
Viney woke up to find Lin Hao sitting beside his little bed, holding a bowl of warm milk.
“Hey, little monster… Eh, I mean, Viney! You woke up! Come on! You’re hungry, aren’t you? Your mama just brought you a bowl of goat milk. Do you like it?” Noticing Viney twitch his nose slightly and move his eyeb.a.l.l.s under his eyelids, he knew that the baby was awake. He really couldn’t see that little one as a normal baby at the moment. After all, what happened when he was born was just too shocking.
While speaking, he carefully put the bowl near Viney’s face.
Viney moved his lips slightly. After a short silence, he said in a consultative tone, “Uncle, can you please not call me Viney? You can call me Baby…”
Detecting that helpless tone of speech from the little one, Lin Hao couldn’t help but laugh. “Oh, sure, I’m going to call you Baby then! How do you know that I’m your uncle? Did your mother tell you that?”
Viney nodded and said, “Of course! I’m hungry, so just give me the milk. I smelt milk. It smells nice. I can drink it.”
