Chapter 224: Being Attacked Once She Shows Up

Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_

Hearing Wu Chengyue’s voice, Lin Qiao glanced back at him, then disappeared. Next second, Wu Chengyue showed up in where she was standing, with an even bigger smile. Meanwhile, the group of people sensed the fierce coldness radiating in the area three meters around their Chief.

At the moment, Lin Qiao was cursing inside her head.

‘Damn! Why did that man show up so quickly? How on earth did he find out my location!’

Seeing Lin Qiao enter the space, the little one thought that she was going to bring her out. So, the kid quickly ran to her and held her hand. Lin Qiao looked at the little one and couldn’t help but feel helpless.

Before, she felt a little guilty for stealing Wu Chengyue’s zombie nucleus. But to her surprise, she got a chance to pay him back so soon, because she had saved his daughter from a zombie queen, and was going to return the child to him perfectly unharmed. For this reason, she thought that he should forgive her for stealing the zombie nucleus.

Just now, she suffered a lightning attack from him, but she intended to take revenge for that the next time!

Looking at the scarily smiling Wu Chengyue, the group of people were a little frightened. They didn’t know why their Chief attacked them…But now, they had somehow figured that their Chief was actually targeting that nice lady!

Lu Tianyi wanted to figure out what exactly was happening now, so he hurriedly stood up and said to Wu Chengyue, “Chief Wu…can we quit fighting and talk instead? What…is happening here?”

Hearing him, Wu Chengyue, who was standing on the other roof, turned back and glanced at the group of people. After that, he slowly walked over, stepped on the guardrail on the edge of the roof, and leaped onto this building, quietly landing before the group.

He rested both hands in his pocket and smiled at Lu Tianyi as he asked, “Is he with you? Do you know who he is?”

Lu Tianyi looked at him with surprise and responded, “Eh? Don’t you know who she is?”

He thought that Wu Chengyue knew that the lady was Lu Tianyu, and that he attacked her for what she did to him before. But to his surprise, Wu Chengyue asked him who she was. It turned out that the latter didn’t recognize her.

Wu Chengyue maintained that smile and continued, “If I knew, I wouldn’t be wasting time talking to you.”

Facing Wu Chengyue’s smiling face, Lu Tianyi’s fine hairs all stood straight up. “Then…how did she offend you?” He asked. He decided to figure the whole thing out before mentioning the little princess.

Wu Chengyue’s slender eyes curved a little in that scary smile. He looked at Lu Tianyi while saying, “Aren’t you with him? Didn’t you notice that he has obtained a zombie nucleus a couple of days ago?”

At that point, the others had all moved closer, looking at Wu Chengyue curiously. Hearing Wu Chengyue mention a zombie nucleus, they immediately thought of the nucleus which was thrown into the lake by that lady.

Kong Qingming crossed his arms before his chest as he looked at Wu Chengyue and asked confusedly, “Eh? How do you know about it?”

Then, the group of people heard Wu Chengyue’s meaningful laughter, “Hehe, of course I know about it, because I killed that thunder-powered zombie king! When I killed it, someone showed up suddenly and stole the zombie’s head!”

“…Eh?” Lu Tianyi and the others couldn’t believe what they had heard. Kong Qingming turned to Lu Tianyi and asked, “Didn’t she say that there was another level-six zombie? Why Chief Wu?”

“How am I supposed to know?” Lu Tianyi looked back at him and responded.

Huang Shou turned to Zheng Xiaonian and said, “Ah, so the zombie nucleus belonged to Chief Wu! But, why did she tell us that there was another zombie?”

Zheng Xiaonian shrugged and replied, “How am I supposed to know?”

The smile on Wu Chengyue’s face now turned even weirder as he said, “Ah, so she described me as another zombie king? Alright, it’s fine, I don’t mind. But, which one of you can tell me about her identity and background? Eh?”

Even though he was speaking with a faint smile, he had taken one hand out of his pocket, palm facing the sky with a sphere of sizzling lightning on it.

He slowly walked to Lu Tianyi and the others while continuing, “Perhaps, you know how to make her show up. I won’t do anything to you if you help me. However, if she keeps hiding while you say nothing, I’ll be having no choice but to think of you as her friends and take care of you!”

“No, no, no, no…Chief! Calm down! We can talk! I think there’s some misunderstanding…” The group of people was scared by the lightning in his hand as Kong Qingming hurriedly waved both hands and talked.

Wu Chengyue smiled again, and this time, that smile of his had completely turned cold. “Hehe, misunderstanding?” He said, “You spent two days hunting a high-level zombie, but before you harvested the zombie nucleus, some thief stole it. You tell me, what kind of misunderstanding is this?”

“Ah…that…that…” Kong Qingming looked at him embarrassedly. He turned to look at Lu Tianyi, thinking that the lady really liked doing suicidal things!

Lu Tianyi was wearing an embarrassed look as well. ‘Damn! Is this the zombie king you talked about? He’s even more horrible than a zombie king! Damn! If you’ve stolen from him, don’t let him find you! Now you have thrown us out and hidden back in the space, leaving us to face our Chief’s fury! That’s unfair!’ He cursed inside.

Sizzle…The lightning sphere in Wu Chengyue’s hand grew larger, seeing which, Lu Tianyi and the others simultaneously took a step backward.

They didn’t want to tell him about Lin Qiao because she had saved them and provided them with food and water. They couldn’t be ungrateful, could they?

However…an infuriated base leader could be terrifying! Especially Chief Wu, who was always smiling and nice-looking.

Right at that moment, Liu Jing abruptly started talking, “No…Chief, I mean, how can you still worry about the zombie nucleus? I want to know if you had left Ling Ling nearby?”

Ling Ling?

Hearing that, Wu Chengyue frowned slightly and asked, “How do you know?”

Ling Ling was in Binjiang District with Xiao Yunlong and Meng Yue, and that area was indeed nearby. Wu Chengyue looked at Liu Jing while wondering if this group of people had met Xiao Yunlong and Meng Yue.

‘Why is he mentioning Ling Ling now? What does he mean?’ He wondered.

Before Liu Jing and the others answered his question, a door on the roof of a nearby building was opened. Then, Xiao Yunlong came out of the door, with the fainted Meng Yue carried on his back.

Wu Chengyue, Lu Tianyi and all the others instantly turned to them seeing that Meng Yue’s body was covered in blood. She lied on Xiao Yunlong’s shoulder, her head dropped. Xiao Yunlong’s head was slightly lowered as well, as he wasn’t looking at the group of people.

The group of people was stunned.

‘Damn, what now?’
