231 Stingy Man (1/2)
After entering her space, Lin Qiao let go of Xie Dong, then closed her eyes, turned herself invisible, and went outside. Hearing the young female zombie's unhappy and unruly roars, she only gave a faint smile. Then, she turned around and leaped off the building to leave.
She needed to accomplish her task. Lu Tianyi, his people, and the little one had disrupted her plans multiple times, so she hadn't gotten the time to look for the information about supply storages.
On the other side, Lu Tianyi asked Xiao Yunlong while moving forward with his team, ”How did you run into that zombie queen? What power does it have?”
The others also curiously turned to Xiao Yunlong who was carrying Meng Yue. They all wanted to know how he let the zombie take away the little princess.
Xiao Yunlong replied, ”It came to us, and even Meng Yue didn't sense it. By the time we discovered it, it was already at our door. We jumped out of the window, but it was swift and traceless. We drove the car, but before we could go far, it turned our car upside down. Meng Yue and Ling Ling were in the car. When I got there, Ling Ling had disappeared.”
Having finished talking, he lowered his head, seeming to be a little upset.
Wu Chengyue carried his daughter as he rubbed her back. He sensed that the energy inside her daughter's body seemed to be reaching a breakthrough. He wondered if his daughter's power was going to be triggered.
He turned to look at Lu Tianyi and the others, then asked, ”That…with that woman…How did you meet Ling Ling and that zombie queen? And you were brave enough to take Ling Ling back from it...How did you do that?”
Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming both smiled. ”Not us, it was her alone,” Lu Tianyi said. Wu Chengyue and Xiao Yunlong looked at them with surprise, waiting for their explanation.
”She has a space,” said Kong Qingming, ”We were in somewhere else half a month ago. We were caught by a group of level-five zombies, and were driven to Upper City District. She showed up suddenly and saved all of us. Afterward, we rested in her space. We don't know what happened before she brought Ling Ling in the space.”
Hearing that, Wu Chengyue and Xiao Yunlong glanced at each other, then turned to look at Ling Ling. Wu Chengyue sighed in relief gratefully, then said, ”Fortunately, the zombie queen didn't hurt Ling Ling, or…”
”What plan do you have right now?” Asked Xiao Yunlong, ”I think your zombie nucleus is stolen, isn't it? Should we go find another level-six zombie? Speaking of which, I think you're too stingy. She saved Ling Ling, yet you tried to hold onto the zombie nucleus. It's not too much at all to pay her with the zombie nucleus for your daughter's life, is it?”
Even though the conversations that Xiao Yunlong heard just now at the roof confused him, but from those, he still learned something important—the woman who was bitten by Wu Chengyue stole his zombie nucleus. Judging by how angry he was, she should have stolen that thunder-powered nucleus.
The others all nodded in agreement.
”True!” Those people didn't know that the nice and gentle Wu Chengyue could actually be so stingy. Wu Chengyue glanced at Xiao Yunlong with a faint smile while saying, ”Is this the first day you came to know me? Besides, haven't I let her go? I've thanked her…and if she ever needs my help in the future, I'll help her.”
Xiao Yunlong rolled his eyes and responded, ”You bit her! You lost the fight, and you actually bit her! I can't even believe that you did it!”
Wu Chengyue gave him a sideways glance, then smiled and said, ”What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly.”
Xiao Yunlong immediately turned to a wall and said, ”You're a stingy man… You're always like that! Don't deny!”
At the moment, the others had all been eyeing Wu Chengyue with surprise. They somehow felt that they had known something important, and began to worry if he would kill them to keep them silent.
