Chapter 997: Let’s Steal Him!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After ending the serious topics, Xiao Yunlong turned to Wu Chengyue and said, “Oi, your son is born already! Why haven’t you won his mother’s heart yet? I never saw a man failing like you!”
Hearing that, Zou s.h.i.+hui wore a smile on his expressionless face and said, “Can you bring him back here and let us see him when he’s a month old? After all, that is your son, the little prince in our base!”
Wu Chengyue responded helplessly, “Just go to All Beings Base if you want to see him. You want her to bring the baby over? I don’t think that’s gonna happen…”
A very bitter look emerged on his face while he was speaking.
He vividly remembered the looks on the faces of Xiao Yunlong and Zou s.h.i.+hui when the two of them heard about his son. Their eyes almost jumped out of their faces. At first, they refused to believe it. After learning about the truth, they stared at Wu Chengyue as if the latter was a monkey.
At that time, Xiao Yunlong popped his eyes and said, “Eh… I didn’t know that you are so capable that you can even knock zombies up!”
Zou s.h.i.+hui was older than Wu Chengyue, but he landed his eyes straight on the area between Wu Chengyue’s legs and asked, “What? Didn’t you become a zombie?”
Wu Chengyue honestly didn’t know what to say at that moment. Later on, the two learned that even though he had slept with the zombie lady and that his son had come to the world, the lady still didn’t agree to be with him. Hearing that, they were both disappointed.
Hearing his words, Xiao Yunlong said, “You are the baby’s father after all. The baby’s one-month-old party surely has to take place in our base!”
They couldn’t let the whole base know that their Chief had a little boy, but at least he should throw a nice party with his close friends and subordinates to celebrate it!
“I don’t think she’ll be willing to do that,” said Wu Chengyue with a bitter smile. The zombie lady was so possessive to the baby, and her att.i.tude toward him had turned as bad as before. He honestly didn’t think she would agree to throw the party at his place.
“How do you know? You haven’t even tried! Don’t be such a coward! That is your son. You have the right!” Xiao Yunlong said with a serious face. He didn’t like seeing Wu Chengyue like that.
Zou s.h.i.+hui added, “You should at least try to talk to her about that! If she says no… we will steal the baby!”
Wu Chengyue failed to maintain the smile on his face. He looked at Zou s.h.i.+hui with his mouth corners twitching. “I can’t believe that you said that with such a serious att.i.tude!”
Zou s.h.i.+hui raised a hand to cover his face, then coughed slightly and rolled his eyes to look at the ceiling. He strongly agreed with Xiao Yunlong. However, Wu Chengyue didn’t seem to have the heart to do anything to hurt the zombie lady’s feelings. So, he would not be able to convince her to throw the party at Sea Ctiy Base.
That baby was the little prince of Sea City Base. How could his one-month-old party happen in another base? That would be unacceptable even though that was his mother’s base.
Also, was that baby really able to talk? It was said that he had a mature mind, not like normal babies. That was magical! Was what inside the baby’s body an adult soul?
“Eh? That’s a good idea! We don’t need to confront her face to face!” Xiao Yunlong changed his expression and laughed once he heard what Zou s.h.i.+hui said.
Seeing the looks on his faces, Wu Chengyue felt that something not-so-good might happen, so he hurriedly said, “Let me talk to her first! Perhaps she doesn’t care where the party will take place…”
He didn’t sound confident at all. Based on what he knew about the zombie lady, what he just said was not possible! However, he had no choice but to say that in order to stop his two friends from doing anything weird.
“Do it as soon as possible! Make it happen! Think about it! If the baby is here, his Mama will surely be here too. You’ll have a chance to get into her heart, right?” Xiao Yunlong leaned against the chair and gave him a suggestion.
Wu Chengyue doubted if the zombie lady would agree to come over, but he was still tempted by what the other said.
“Alright. We’ll leave it to you then. You have to bring the boy here and let us see him,” Zou s.h.i.+hui stood up as he looked at him and left a few words before leaving. Xiao Yunlong also stood up and picked up his materials before leaving.
Wu Chengyue returned to his office while wondering how on earth he could make the zombie lady agree to bring the baby to Sea City Base. But before he came up with an idea, Xiao Licheng came in with the news.
“Chief, there’s something new from All Beings Base.”
“What is it?” Wu Chengyue immediately turned to him.
Xiao Licheng said, “A few days ago, a three-thousand-men troop from Sky Fire Base showed up fifty miles from All Beings Base, in the western side of the base. They captured some hunters from All Beings Base. But yesterday, Xie Dong went over with three-hundred soldiers and destroyed the entire troop, rescuing those hunters. All the surviving hunters have signed confidentiality agreements, and have been required to join the army.”
Wu Chengyue wore a faint smile on his face, yet the look in his eyes was cold. “Did anyone get out?” He asked.
“No. All dead.” Xiao Licheng shook his head and said.
Wu Chengyue nodded and said, “We have turned against Huaxia Base, so Sky Fire Base can’t keep quiet anymore. Currently, the human population in All Beings Base is still too small. They seem weak, and can’t show their real power to the world. I guess that’s why they’re recruiting soldiers now.”
“That’s right,” Xiao Licheng nodded, “Some survivors from Hidden Cloud City Base and Earth Dragon Base were willing to join All Beings Base, but the giant rat nest is making them think that the base isn’t safe.”
The survivors from Hidden Cloud City Base and Earth Dragon Base had scattered everywhere. The capable ones all wanted to go to Huaxia Base or Sea City Base. The ones who didn’t want to go through a long journey went to Sky Fire Base, which was the nearest base, for survival. Currently, as Huaxia Base and Sea City Base had become enemies, some of those people struggled about which base to go to. They needed to think carefully about which base would be able to provide them with a safe and stable life, and which might put them in a bad situation again.
Currently, Huaxia Base still seemed like the strongest base. Sea City Base wasn’t weak, but still not as powerful as Huaxia Base, at least in terms of high-tech weaponry. Thankfully, each of the two bases had a level-eight leader to maintain the balance.
Wu Chengyue smiled coldly and said, “If they knew about those underground creatures, they would be even more afraid to go to All Beings Base.” After saying that, he started wondering if those underground creatures only existed in the area near All Beings Base.
If that were the case, the base could be considered unlucky. Could that be counted as a mistake that the zombie lady had made? Did she regret building the base there? Perhaps she should build her base in the South.
“If those underground creatures can’t be dealt with as soon as possible, I’m afraid All Beings Base will be in trouble. It would be such a shame if that new base was ruined,” said Xiao Licheng with concern.
