Chapter 932: The Instructions for Xie Dong

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

All Beings Base people unexpectedly received a message from Wu Chengyue while they were secretly looking for Lin Qiao.

“Are you saying that Chief is in Sea City Base now?” Lin Feng looked at the man who brought him the message with surprise.

Qian Xiaoai nodded and said, “Yes. The message is from our Chief. She summoned Xie Dong from Base Number Two. That was her only instruction.”

Lin Feng looked at the others and thought for a moment, then said, “Alright. Let Xie Dong go then.”

Duan Juan and Shen Yujen glanced at each other. “I’m talking to Xie Dong now,” said Shen Yujen. While speaking, she turned and left, after which, the others went back to their positions, waiting for Xie Dong to bring further news back.

Wu Chengyue knew that Xie Dong was a zombie too, so he opened a small gate for him.

Xie Dong arrived at Wu Chengyue’s place at ten pm. Lin Qiao was looking at Wu Yueling, who was sleeping tight on her bed with the rabbit held in her arms. She prepared to carry Wu Yueling back into her own room, but she sensed Xie Dong’s vibe coming from a distance away before that. Knowing that he would arrive soon, she decided to let Ling Ling stay in her room.

She gently walked out of the room and closed the door, then headed downstairs and waited in the living room.

Wu Chengyue had also sensed Xie Dong’s vibe when he was arriving. So, he finished working and came out of his study room. On his way downstairs, he stopped before Lin Qiao’s room, then quietly opened the door and walked in.

Since he had sensed Xie Dong’s vibe, he assumed that Lin Qiao had sensed it too. Knowing that she was no longer in the room, he walked in and gently carried his daughter out, bringing the little girl into his room.

The light in the living room was off, so it was all dark. The pen laid on the tea-table was now floating in the air while the couch was completely empty.

That was what Xie Dong saw when he came in. As a zombie, he saw things clearly in the darkness. He looked around, then landed his eyes on the floating pen.

‘What?’

Why was the pen floating in the air?

He wondered.

Then, a voice was heard in his mind—’Because I’m holding it.’

Xie Dong watched the pen rise higher, and paused briefly with surprise.

“Chief?” After a short silence, his voice was heard.

Lin Qiao said to him with her will power— ‘I can’t go back to our base for now. You need to bring me the work that has to be done by me. Let Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng deal with the other things.’

“Yes, Ma’am,” Xie Dong nodded.

Lin Qiao couldn’t utter any voice, but was able to make lower-leveled zombies hear his voice in their minds. She had to be close to those zombies, though.

‘I’ll be with Wu Chengyue lately. If you need to see me, go and find him, then you’ll find me.’

Xie Dong looked at the floating pen. He didn’t know why Lin Qiao talked to him without showing her face, but he didn’t try to ask. After hearing her instruction, he nodded.

Lin Qiao dropped the pen while continuing—’Don’t let too many people know about this. Okay, you can leave now.’

Xie Dong understood what she was talking about. Only Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing would know about that for the time being.

“Yes, Ma’am,” he responded expressionlessly, then left quietly.

Except for Wu Chengyue’s secret guards, no other people knew that Xie Dong had visited that house.

After Xie Dong left, Lin Qiao went upstairs, back to her room. She opened the door and found that Ling Ling was no longer on her bed. She guessed that Wu Chengyue had brought that little girl away. She didn’t think much about it, but walked in and lay on the bed.

She took a level-five zombie nucleus out of her space, held it in her hand and started to absorb it.

For the commoners, or for some of those newly invented machines, a level-five nucleus could last for a long time. However, it was only able to last two hours for Lin Qiao.

The energy flowed into her body, slowly gathered in her brain, then spread to every corner of her body. At last, it moved into her lower belly. By that time, seventy percent of it would be gone.

Currently, Viney would only absorb thirty percent of the energy that Lin Qiao absorbed. The rest seventy percent would stay inside Lin Qiao’s body and his nucleus.

Lin Qiao was at the top of level-seven. For her, that slight amount of energy was like a drop of water falling into a drained lake. It would take forever for the lake to be filled up again.

On the other side, Wu Chengyue put Ling Ling on the bed, covered her, then took a shower himself. After that, he got into the bed and fell asleep with his daughter in his arms.

He had no idea that in the middle of the night, a small amount of his energy quietly flowed out of his body, formed into a stream in the air, flowed out of the opened window, moved downward, then drifted into Lin Qiao’s window and drilled into her lower belly.

The next morning, before Lin Qiao opened her eyes, the energy flow broke. After the tail of the energy stream drilled into her body, Lin Qiao slowly opened her eyes.

Upstairs, Wu Chengyue soon opened his eyes too. He didn’t sense the loose of energy. Perhaps, it was too slight for him to feel it.

The first thing he woke up to do was to look at Wu Yueling. Seeing that his daughter was still in sleep, he gently got off the bed to get fresh up. As he came out of the bathroom, he saw Wu Yueling sit on the bed with her hair messy, rubbing her eyes drowsily.

“Ling Ling is up? Come wash your face and brush your teeth then. After breakfast, we’ll go out and play!” He didn’t carry the little girl off the bed but walked to the side, poured himself a cup of water while talking to her.

Wu Yueling was still sleepy, but she obediently followed Wu Chengyue’s instruction. She moved to the bedside, put on her shoes and got off the bed.

After that, she walked into the bathroom by herself.

As she came out, Wu Chengyue was already dressed up. He helped the little girl to get changed, then brushed her hair. After that, he brought the girl out of the room, to the downstairs for breakfast.

Lin Qiao had come downstairs long ago. She was sitting on the couch, rubbing the rabbit, feeling a little bored.

Wu Yueling had her eyes glow when she saw the rabbit, that was floating in the air. She immediately dropped her father’s hand and ran to the couch. Wu Chengyue glanced at her, then went into the kitchen to make breakfast.

After breakfast, Wu Chengyue spent a short while observing the surrounding area, then left home together with Ling Ling.

Lin Qiao didn’t sit into his car, but sat on top of the car. The sun wasn’t scorching in the morning, so she could still stand it.
