Lin Qiao couldn’t see his face, but was surprised by the depressed and helpless vibe that radiated from his body. At that very moment, she felt as if Wu Chengyue was as panicked and scared as a kid who couldn’t find his way home. He was frightened, not knowing what to do. His only choice was to wait for someone to save him.

Not long ago, he was still able to stay composed and keep a distance from her. Why did he suddenly become like a kid? Wu Chengyue had let out his real feelings, and it was the first time Lin Qiao sensed his emotions and thoughts.

He was always smiling, scheming, calm, and powerful. So she never thought that such kind of emotions would come from him. Lin Qiao wasn’t prepared for that, so she didn’t know what to do. After spending two seconds staring at him, she said, “Don’t tell me that you’re crying. Who are you? A three-year-old boy?”

Wu Chengyue didn’t know what to say. That sad atmosphere vanished all of a sudden, as he really did not expect her to say that.

Couldn’t she just let him pretend to be heartbroken for a moment?

He dropped his hand and looked at her helplessly as he said, “I’m heading back to Sea City Base tomorrow. Aren’t you gonna say anything to me?”

He didn’t plan to bring the baby back to Sea City Base even though he was a little worried that the zombie lady might fail to take good care of him. She would never give the baby to him even if he asked.

“Oh, goodbye then!” Lin Qiao immediately stood up and flashed to the door side, opening the door and signaling for him to leave with a hand gesture.

Wu Chengyue felt so tired in the heart. Why on earth did he fall for the zombie lady?

Yes, he didn’t only like her, but had also fallen in love with her. His heart ached for real. If he didn’t love her, why would that heartache be so strong that it even made him feel suffocated?

He sighed as he stood up, then turned and walked out of Lin Qiao’s apartment.

It was alright. No matter how exhausted he felt, he still didn’t plan to give up.

After watching Wu Chengyue leave, Lin Qiao closed the door as well as her eyes and sighed with relief. Then, she turned and glanced at the glass on the tea table.

Sky Fire Base…

Li Zhengye was sitting on a couch in his own living room. Four other people were in the living room as well, sitting on the other couches and chairs.

“So, Sea City Base can’t grow food at all, but they still have fresh vegetables and fruits every day. Where is that fresh food coming from?” Li Zhengye said. His brows were knitted and back was hunched, elbows resting on his parted knees while his finger were crossed to support his chin.

“Do they have a secret base, or… Maybe, those foods weren’t grown from the soil.” Mo Quan, one of the vice-leaders, made a guess. Before the apocalypse, people had developed soil-less culture techniques. Perhaps, Sea City Base didn’t need soil to grow food!

Li Zhengye paused briefly, then blinked and said, “That is highly possible. So, Sea City Base might have found a scientist who has mastered relevant techniques?”

The others glanced at each other and then nodded in agreement. “I think that might be true. Sea City Base people are so sneaky. Earlier, they made up a lie about the soil remedy to mislead Huaxia Base. Did they do that to hide their real culture techniques?” A man said.

The other man said, “Isn’t Huaxia Base known as the base that is rich in scientists? Don’t they have the same kind of technique?”

“Even if they do, they won’t let us know about it,” said Li Zhengye blandly. “They need a reason to be enemies with Sea City Base.”

“Are you saying that… Oh, no wonder Huaxia Base people have been staying so calm after Sea City Base people turned against them. The soil remedy isn’t what they really want!” Mo Quan figured it out.

“Haven’t we heard anything from All Beings Base yet?” Li Zhengye turned to another man and asked.

The man shook his head and said, “That new base is strictly guarded, and their hunters are highly vigilant. Most of them refused to work together with us. As for the ones who agreed to cooperate, they never came out of the base again after they returned. We don’t know if they were busted or if they were too scared to do anything.”

Li Zhengye thought for a moment and said, “It has been over two months, yet not even one message was delivered back to us. That woman is pretty capable, really.”

“She has the guts to waste an arm of Hu Zhiyong right in front of all those base leaders, and never paid the price for that. She surely isn’t just some ordinary woman.” Mo Quan knitted his brows and said uncertainly, “But… Hu Zhiyong was devoured by a dark fire at last. That fire looked a little like what that Hades Base woman had. Is that the same kind of fire as netherworld fire?”

Once he mentioned that, the others pulled long faces.

Li Zhengye furrowed his eyebrows and said sulkily, “That woman is definitely dead. However, whoever is able to kill a level-seven man can’t be weak. He or she is at level-seven at least… Which base has a level-seven black fire possessor now?”

The others shook their heads and said, “The woman from All Beings Base only has dark poisonous mist. She doesn’t have a black fire.”

“Never mind. Keep an eye on All Beings Base. Since those hunters don’t want to work with us, we have to make some aggressive moves,” said Li Zhengye.

“Should we capture them?” Mo Quan asked.

Li Zhengye nodded and said, “I think we will be able to get something from them.”

A couple of days later, a few hunter groups from All Beings Base disappeared.

Mo Qiqi’s limbs were tied up. She opened her eyes and felt limp and weak, without any energy. But, she still stayed calm while observing the surrounding environment. She was in an office. The sunlight was dim and orange, meaning that it was at dusk.

The furniture pieces in the room were placed disorderedly, showing how chaotic the place was when the old world ended. All the furniture pieces were covered in a thick layer of dust, meaning that this place hadn’t had visitors for a very long time.

Mo Qiqi looked around; she was alone. The door and window were sealed. The footprints on the ground told her that some other people were in the room.

She sat up and leaned against the wall, sensing numbness and pain from her thigh. She remembered an anesthetic needle piercing into her thigh before she lost consciousness. When she fell, she saw the others fall together with her, then she lost her eyesight.

The door was open, and a man’s voice was heard. “Hey, the pretty lady is awake!”

He called her ‘the pretty lady’ not because she was pretty. Women had become rare in the post-apocalyptic era, so all young girls were called ‘pretty ladies’ nowadays.

Mo Qiqi raised her eyes to see a strange man wearing a baseball hat and a loose-fitting camouflage suit along with a pair of combat boots, walking toward her.
