Chapter 1425: He Decides to Abandon It

“Yes, that’s true. But I don’t think she’s a zombie. She has no zombie features at all.” On hearing Si Kongchen mention Lu Tianyu’s death, Han Xiao and Wei Haichao exchanged glances, thinking that his guess wasn’t likely to be right.

After all, the suspected ones had liked wearing sunglasses. None of them had ever shown their eyes in public. The eyes could be the strongest evidence to prove that someone was a zombie. The woman’s eyes were normal, and she had never covered them.

“I’m impressed that these zombies have actually become exactly like humans. Many high-leveled zombies have their faces mostly healed, but none of them has healed so perfectly. It’s also so weird that they can talk!” Standing aside, Wei Haichao folded his arms and said with a puzzled face.

“Keep digging. The woman might be a human, but we still need to dig out the backgrounds of the suspicious ones around her. Let’s see if the twenty-thousand people in her base will have the guts to stay in a zombie base,” said Si Kongchen coldly, “Wu Chengyue is actually working with a base like that. Is he going to betray humans and help the zombies?”

“No matter what his purpose is, the fact that he’s working with zombies has already violated the common rule of human bases,” said Han Xiao.

Zombies fed on humans and humans were supposed to kill zombies; those two species were meant to be enemies. They were supposed to strive to destroy each other. Under these circumstances, Wu Chengyue has been working with zombies. That is against humanity! That is a betrayal of humans. This can never be allowed!

Feeding on humans was in the nature of zombies, so zombies and humans were deadly enemies.

“The woman keeps zombies in her base. But what has she been feeding them with? Does she feed them with humans? No wonder none of our men could return alive,” Wei Haichao murmured.

At that time, All Beings Base and Sea City Base had both noticed that Huaxia Base was doing background digging about All Beings Base people. After learning that Lin Kui’s identity had been exposed, they figured that the secret of All Beings Base wouldn’t be kept for long.

Lin Feng and the others were prepared for that kind of situation since long ago, and they had solutions for what might happen. However, Sea City Base might be brought into trouble as well.

Lin Feng had sent a man to inform Wu Chengyue about it. If the zombie army in All Beings Base were exposed, he would have to choose between betraying Sea City Base to help All Beings Base and disconnecting Sea City Base from All Beings Base, turning against the latter.

Sea City Base currently had about seven-hundred-thousand residents. He couldn’t possibly make all of them accept the existence of the zombie army, even though those zombies had never hurt them. They were zombies, and that only reason was enough for people to hate them.

At the moment, Wu Chengyue was sitting in his office. Xiao Yunlong and Xiao Licheng were sitting on the other side of his desk while Kong Qingming was standing by his side. The three were all looking at him, waiting for him to speak. After a short silence, he said expressionlessly, “If that’ll be the case, Yunlong, the base will be left to you and Zou.”

“Is that your decision?” The three glanced at each other. Clearly, Wu Chengyue didn’t plan to take them to All Beings Base, and neither did he plan to convince all Sea City Base to accept the existence of the zombie army from All Beings Base. After all, that would be impossible.

He didn’t want to give up on All Beings Base either. He had known about Lin Qiao’s true identity since long ago, and everything about her base. He had never thought about giving up on her ever since he fell in love with her. He also knew that she would never give up on her base and her army, so he didn’t intend to convince her to do that.

“I guess you had made that decision long ago,” Xiao Yunlong raised his brows and said.

The truth couldn’t be kept secret forever. Besides, All Beings Base wasn’t trying to hide its zombie army for good. Otherwise, Lin Qiao wouldn’t have brought her zombie soldiers everywhere to perform tasks. If they really did not want the others to discover their true nature, they would have hidden away.

Instead of doing that, Lin Qiao brought her zombie soldiers out of her base frequently.

Based on that, people figured that she didn’t plan to keep her zombie army secret in the long run. Once the zombie army was exposed, she would become the enemy of humans.

“You don’t need to leave us all here, do you? We can go with you.” Xiao Yunlong looked at Wu Chengyue with a frown, saying.

Wu Chengyue slightly shook his head and said, “If you choose me, you’d be against all the other humans. That won’t do you guys any good. Do you still want to follow me?”

“But you’ll be there, and you won’t be running Sea City Base anymore. What’s the point for us to stay here?” Xiao Yunlong shrugged carelessly.

They founded the base together, but Xiao Yunlong believed that if Wu Chengyue weer gone, the base would mean nothing to him. Compared with the base, he and the others all preferred to follow Wu Chengyue.

They could always build a new base if the old one was gone, but if their friendship were gone, there would be no way to rebuild it.

“I’ll go wherever you go,” Xiao Licheng nodded in agreement.

Kong Qingming lazily spread his hands, saying, “Lu Tianyi is on their side anyway, so I’ve been wanting to leave already. This base is huge, and there are always so many works to do.”

“Isn’t it because of Long Qingying?” Wu Chengyue smiled at him.

“Well, it’s fifty percent because of her. Didn’t you make your decision for the same kind of reason?” said Kong Qingming.

Lin Qiao was definitely the reason why he decided to abandon the base that he founded.

Wu Chengyue glanced at Xiao Licheng and then turned to Xiao Yunlong and asked, “Are you sure that Yue will be willing to leave with us?”

Xiao Yunlong nodded and said, “You’re worried about that? You’re more important to her than I am! If you’re leaving, she’d be the second to leave. But to be honest, I wasn’t expecting you to make the decision this quickly.”

Wu Chengyue founded Sea City Base almost single-handedly, and everyone else knew how much effort he had spent on it. But for the woman he loved, he had decided to give up on it.

Wu Chengyue smiled faintly and said, “I’ve been having this idea since I proposed to her, and I became surer about it when I learned who she really is. I can build another base, but I probably won’t be able to find another woman that I love. These days, getting a wife is more difficult than building a base!”

With his current power, he was able to build a new base easily. However, finding a woman that he could be fond of and was suitable for him would be extremely difficult. Also, the woman whom he was currently in love with was the mother of his son. Who else could he be with but her?

Xiao Yunlong nodded and then patted Xiao Licheng on the shoulder, “It’ll be good. They have more girls than we do. Licheng might be able to find himself a girlfriend over there. She can even be a zombie! Apart from the special case of Wu and his future wife, Chen Yuting and his wife are doing quite fine as well!”

Xiao Licheng didn’t know what to say.

How come the topic suddenly became about him finding a girlfriend?
