Chapter 965: Attack At Night

Duan Juan was so surprised that the zombie actually disobeyed Lin Qiao’s order. Normally, a level-seven zombie should be able to easily control lower-level zombies by giving them orders. Why didn’t it work with that weird zombie?
She glanced at the stone handcuff that she created with her power. The zombie’s hands were locked in it. Just now, she felt that he was pretty strong, but he never freed himself from the stone. Wasn’t he a zombie king?
In another room, Lin Qiao was lying in her bedroom, each hand holding a level-six nucleus. She was absorbing the two nuclei with her eyes closed.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of her apartment.
Lin Qiao sensed the two vibes outside the door. With confusion, she put the remains of the two nuclei back into her space, then clapped the dust off her palm as she got off the bed and went out of her bedroom.
She went through the living room and opened the door, only to see Duan Juan standing out there in her pajamas with her hair disheveled. As Lin Qiao opened the door, she expressionlessly raised her right arm and put the zombie before Lin Qiao’s face.
“This guy attacked me while I was sleeping. Are you gonna do something about that?”
Lin Qiao looked like the zombie. He had both hands held behind his body, looking like a poor little girl. “What happened to him?” asked Lin Qiao.
“Oh,” Duan Juan said, “I accidentally beat him up just now. Are you sure that he’s really at level-six and not level-three?”
How could a level-six zombie be frightened so badly after suffering a few punches from her?
“He attacked you?” Lin Qiao frowned as she gave the zombie a glance. Every single time, he forgot about her order so quickly.
“Why didn’t he go to Xiao Licheng’s room and attack him?” Duan Juan complained, “Why me? Is Xiao Licheng’s room further away from him than mine?”
She wasn’t the only living human being in the building after all!
Lin Qiao gave her a meaningful glance, then said, “It’s probably because you’re weaker. Xiao Licheng is at level-six after all.”
Duan Juan didn’t respond, as she had no words to argue with that. So, she turned to the young male zombie and glared at him coldly.
“He hasn’t remembered anything yet, so I don’t know if he will remember his name. I’m going to call him Nine. He’s zombie number-nine,” It occurred to Lin Qiao’s mind that the zombie didn’t have a name yet, so she gave him a number.
She then turned to him and said, “From now on, your name is Nine. Let me ask you something. I just told you not to eat human beings. Why didn’t you listen to me? I’m gonna kill you if you disobey me again, believe it or not!”
While speaking, she supported her waist with one hand and slapped the zombie’s head with the other.
“Roar…”?‘I didn’t eat her.’
The zombie suddenly gave Lin Qiao a roar with a grievance. He really did not bite Duan Juan. He only wanted to lick her. Couldn’t he even lick her? That was so cruel!
“Why were you in her room if you didn’t want to eat her?” Lin Qiao gave him a glare and scolded him. She didn’t know that he would actually argue against her.
“Roar… Roar… Roarrr!”?‘I didn’t… She smells so nice… I just want to smell her!’
Under Duan Juan’s cold glare, the zombie, for some reason, didn’t dare to tell Lin Qiao that he wanted to lick her. So, he thought for a moment and smartly chose another word.
“Smell her? Are you a dog?” Lin Qiao raised her arm and slapped on the zombie’s head again.
Duan Juan didn’t speak zombie language, but from Lin Qiao’s words, she could roughly guess out the rest of the conversation. She had no patience to keep hearing that.
“He’s yours. I’m going back to bed,” she said as she waved at Lin Qiao and left.
Lin Qiao looked at her speechlessly. She was Duan Juan’s boss, yet that woman showed her no respect at all. She dragged her off the bed in the middle of the night and brought her a piece of trouble.
But in fact, that piece of trouble was brought back to the base by Lin Qiao herself. Thinking about that, she felt hat she was suffering from her own deeds.
She summoned Six by using her vibe, then him, “Bring him to your room. Don’t let him leave your sight. He’s called Nine.”
Since she couldn’t leave Nine alone in the room again, she found someone else to discipline him. Six glanced at the young male zombie, then nodded at Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao then said to Nine, “If I see you somewhere you shouldn’t be again, I’ll dig out your nucleus!” While speaking, she crooked her fingers, popped her sharp nails, and put her hand above the zombie’s head to threaten him.
“Roar…” The zombie froze under her threat.
Lin Qiao dropped her hand then said to Six, “Take him away.”
After that, she closed the door and went back into the living room, then turned and found a man sitting on her couch.
“Why are you here in the middle of the night?”
Wu Chengyue’s vibe had weakened by fifty percent. His power might have dropped to level seven or six already.
Wu Chengyue sat on the couch with his arms folded before his chest and legs crossed. With a faint smile, he looked at Lin Qiao and said, “I heard some noises from your room, so I came here to check on you.”
Lin Qiao looked at him expressionlessly and said, “Alright, you’ve seen me. Nothing happened. Can you leave now? Show yourself out.”
“No, I don’t want to go,” Wu Chengyue grinned.
Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes as she stood in the living room, supporting her waist with a hand. That posture made her feel tired, as her belly was too heavy. Therefore, she turned and headed to the bedroom.
“Suit yourself. I guess you like my couch.” While speaking, she walked into the living room and closed the door. She didn’t care if he would come into her office, or what he might do in her living room. She lay back on the bed, then took out the two nuclei and continued to absorb them.
Wu Chengyue stayed on the couch and looked at the closed door. Quite a while later, he stood up and left with a faint smile.
…
At the same moment, a conversation was happening within a dark room in the area where commoners lived in Sea City Base.
“Are you saying that the soil in Sea City Base can’t grow anything?” A voice was heard; its owner seemed to have some doubts.
“Yes. I spent hell of an effort to finally find out the actual condition of the farm here. Zou Shihui is with a worried frown the whole time because of the dead soil. He’s tried many ways, and did many experiments, but nothing worked yet,” another voice responded.
“But, they told Huaxia People that they have the soil remedy,” the third man was also confused.
“Maybe that was false information,” the first man thought for a moment and said.
“They probably made up that lie to end the partnership with Huaxia Base. They wanted Huaxia Base people to cast their eyes on the soil remedy and then make some unwanted moves, so they would be able to use that as an excuse to turn against them and rise on their own.”
“But, Sea City Base does have quite some fresh vegetables lately. If they didn’t grow those by themselves, where did they get those? Er, are you sure that what you said is true?”
“Of course, it’s true! Look, this is the test report of the soil from the farm in Sea City Base,” Er said, then took out his phone and showed a few pictures to the others. That was indeed the most recent soil test report from Sea City Base Farm.
