“So, are you saying that this can wake superpowered people up from the mania?” Lin Qiao read the report that Lin Hao brought to her. She wasn’t surprised, only a little confused.

Yuan Tianxing and Mrs. Lin drank her lake water every single day, yet the energy from the lake had obviously failed to protect them from the virus. However, according to the newest result of Lin Hao’s research, the lake water was able to suppress the virus after the mania started. Why?

That didn’t make sense!

“So far, it seems like that. But, they have to drink at least this amount, or it won’t work,” Lin Hao nodded, then showed her a thumb-sized test tube.

So next, Lin Qiao needed not only to provide the farm with her lake water, but also the lab.

The lab needed to sub-package the water. So, some people needed to go out of the base to collect the packaging materials.

Alternatively, the people who had relevant knowledge might be able to produce some of those materials in the base. However, those people weren’t easy to be found. All Beings Base only had a small population as of now. Most of the commoners who lived in the base used to be ordinary people who worked in offices or factories. No one who had knowledge or skills related to packaging materials was found among them.

Lin Qiao nodded and sighed with relief.

“I heard that man is coming back. Do I need to pretend to be your suitor again?” Finishing the report, Lin Hao looked around and found that no other people were on the scene. So, he abruptly brought up another topic.

He heard that Sea City Base had already accepted the terms that Lin Feng stated. So, they would come to All Being Base to sign an official agreement this time. And the person who would sign that agreement was not Xiao Yunlong.

Lin Qiao raised her eyes and gave him a glance, “You certainly had fun. I thought he wouldn’t come back so soon. Clearly, I was wrong.”

He did look quite angry when he left the last time. Lin Qiao thought it would take him a while to show up in her base again. But to her surprise, he was coming back in merely about ten days.

“I don’t like him!” Lin Hao shrugged and said, “But then again, you can’t stay like this. He’s a decent man, I think. If he knew about the baby but didn’t plan to take any responsibility, I’d have killed him.”

Lin Hao rolled her eyes and responded with, “You’re strong enough to kill him.”

He felt utterly embarrassed. ‘A little respect would be nice. I, your brother, need some respect… Who am I worried about here?’

Looking at Lin Hao’s face that was filled with a grievance, Lin Qiao shrugged and continued, “I don’t want to get married. If Viney wants to be with her father, I won’t say no. I’ll respect her decision.”

Lin Hao said with disagreement, “What if she wants you two to be together? Kids always want their parents to be together. Which child doesn’t?”

‘He’s not exactly the father ,’ Lin Qiao thought. However, she didn’t want to mention that scum who was Viney’s first father at all. In the future, she would only tell Viney that the other half of her gene came from Wu Chengyue.

Based on Viney’s behavior before, Lin Qiao felt that she would cause trouble again sooner or later. With that thought, she gave a long sigh. Her future life would be difficult, she reckoned.

‘Viney, can’t you just be a good baby? Why don’t you learn from Ling Ling?’ she said in her head.

Imagining her life being changed by the naughty Viney thoroughly, Lin Qiao somehow started to think that giving her to Wu Chengyue might be a great idea.

“Living in a single-parent family isn’t good for a child’s mental health,” Lin Hao added. He was a little unhappy about the fact that Wu Chengyue had taken advantage of his sister, but to be objective, the other was a nice guy. At least, he seemed to be a responsible man so far. As for whether he would give up on Lin Qiao in the future, Lin Hao couldn’t tell yet.

As a doctor, Lin Hao wanted the baby to be happy and healthy. So, as same as Wu Chengyue, he believed that Viney should be provided with a healthy family environment.

He would kill Wu Chengyue if the latter dared to give up on Lin Qiao and her baby!

But… he didn’t seem to be capable of that. What should he do?

“The children who live in single-parent families mature faster than the others. That’s not exactly a bad thing. Besides, I think my child won’t be as fragile as normal children,” Lin Qiao said. Viney was a little monster!

With no expression, she continued, “Are you speaking for him now? Go out if you are. I have work to do.”

“Alright,” On hearing her words, Lin Hao automatically stood up and walked toward the door. After making two steps, he paused, then turned back to her and said, “No. I’m thinking for the baby.”

“This baby isn’t like other babies. We can’t treat her like a normal baby. Cut the crap and just leave!” Lin Qiao replied impatiently while reading the file in her hand and waving a hand toward Lin Hao.

Lin Hao clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes as he left.

Three days later, Wu Chengyue and his troop arrived at All Beings Base. Finding that All Beings Base was in a much more peaceful state than his base, he was suddenly jealous of the zombie lady’s zombie army.

At least when facing a disaster like what happened recently, she was able to bring the situation under control in time and lower the damage to an acceptable degree.

The moment he had his eyes on Lin Qiao, Wu Chengyue recalled her intimate interactions with Doctor Lin. So, another type of jealousy was immediately aroused in his heart.

For that very reason, he wore a cold smile when facing her.

“Chief Lu, why do you seem so disappointed? Do you not want to see me here?” Sitting in the middle seat in the conference room, Wu Chengyue gave Lin Qiao a sideways glance with a faint smile, said jokingly.

The others on the scene all detected a sarcastic tone from his words.

The people from Sea City Base couldn’t bear listening to that. The jealousy was too obvious.

The ones from All Beings Base were surprised, and a little confused. Chief Wu looked weird today. Why was he having that sour smile on his face? What happened to his standard warmly smiling face?

Lin Qiao looked at him and said with a meaningful smile, “I thought someone is too frustrated to see me. It turns out that he has a strong mind.”

Or… Was he a masochist? Was he here to see another show performed by her and her little brother? He seemed to have been hurt before. Why did he come back?

Wu Chengyue narrowed his eyes in a smile and responded with, “Chief Lu, did you do something to hurt that person?”

Wu Chengyue did look weird today!

Even Lin Qiao started to feel so.

Yet still, she stayed calm and replied with, “What could I possibly do to hurt someone? Why don’t I have a clue about that?”

The atmosphere was a little tense today. The others started to worry about their own safety.

All the others in the room now wanted to stay away from Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue.

Lin Wenwen who sat by Lin Qiao’s side looked at Long Qingying who was beside her, with a bitter face. ‘Why am I so close to her? Can I please swap seats with you?’

Long Qingying looked ahead and sat straight, pretended not to notice Lin Wenwen’s gaze.
