Duan Juan was so surprised that the zombie actually disobeyed Lin Qiaoâs order. Normally, a level-seven zombie should be able to easily control lower-level zombies by giving them orders. Why didnât it work with that weird zombie?
She glanced at the stone handcuff that she created with her power. The zombieâs hands were locked in it. Just now, she felt that he was pretty strong, but he never freed himself from the stone. Wasnât 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 Qiaoâs face.
âThis guy attacked me while I was sleeping. Are you gonna do something about that?â
Lin Qiao looked like the zombie. He had both hands held behind his body, looking like a poor little girl. âWhat happened to him?â asked Lin Qiao.
âOh,â Duan Juan said, âI accidentally beat him up just now. Are you sure that heâs really at level-six and not level-three?â
How could a level-six zombie be frightened so badly after suffering a few punches from her?
âHe attacked you?â Lin Qiao frowned as she gave the zombie a glance. Every single time, he forgot about her order so quickly.
âWhy didnât he go to Xiao Lichengâs room and attack him?â Duan Juan complained, âWhy me? Is Xiao Lichengâs room further away from him than mine?â
She wasnât the only living human being in the building after all!
Lin Qiao gave her a meaningful glance, then said, âItâs probably because youâre weaker. Xiao Licheng is at level-six after all.â
Duan Juan didnât respond, as she had no words to argue with that. So, she turned to the young male zombie and glared at him coldly.
âHe hasnât remembered anything yet, so I donât know if he will remember his name. Iâm going to call him Nine. Heâs zombie number-nine,â It occurred to Lin Qiaoâs mind that the zombie didnât have a name yet, so she gave him a number.
She then turned to him and said, âFrom now on, your name is Nine. Let me ask you something. I just told you not to eat human beings. Why didnât you listen to me? Iâm gonna kill you if you disobey me again, believe it or not!â
While speaking, she supported her waist with one hand and slapped the zombieâs head with the other.
âRoarâ¦â?âI didnât eat her.â
The zombie suddenly gave Lin Qiao a roar with a grievance. He really did not bite Duan Juan. He only wanted to lick her. Couldnât he even lick her? That was so cruel!
âWhy were you in her room if you didnât want to eat her?â Lin Qiao gave him a glare and scolded him. She didnât know that he would actually argue against her.
âRoar⦠Roar⦠Roarrr!â?âI didnât⦠She smells so nice⦠I just want to smell her!â
Under Duan Juanâs cold glare, the zombie, for some reason, didnât dare to tell Lin Qiao that he wanted to lick her. So, he thought for a moment and smartly chose another word.
âSmell her? Are you a dog?â Lin Qiao raised her arm and slapped on the zombieâs head again.
Duan Juan didnât speak zombie language, but from Lin Qiaoâs words, she could roughly guess out the rest of the conversation. She had no patience to keep hearing that.
âHeâs yours. Iâm going back to bed,â she said as she waved at Lin Qiao and left.
Lin Qiao looked at her speechlessly. She was Duan Juanâs 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, âBring him to your room. Donât let him leave your sight. Heâs called Nine.â
Since she couldnât 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, âIf I see you somewhere you shouldnât be again, Iâll dig out your nucleus!â While speaking, she crooked her fingers, popped her sharp nails, and put her hand above the zombieâs head to threaten him.
âRoarâ¦â The zombie froze under her threat.
Lin Qiao dropped her hand then said to Six, âTake him away.â
After that, she closed the door and went back into the living room, then turned and found a man sitting on her couch.
âWhy are you here in the middle of the night?â
Wu Chengyueâs 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, âI heard some noises from your room, so I came here to check on you.â
Lin Qiao looked at him expressionlessly and said, âAlright, youâve seen me. Nothing happened. Can you leave now? Show yourself out.â
âNo, I donât want to go,â 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.
âSuit yourself. I guess you like my couch.â While speaking, she walked into the living room and closed the door. She didnât 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.
âAre you saying that the soil in Sea City Base canât grow anything?â A voice was heard; its owner seemed to have some doubts.
âYes. 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. Heâs tried many ways, and did many experiments, but nothing worked yet,â another voice responded.
âBut, they told Huaxia People that they have the soil remedy,â the third man was also confused.
âMaybe that was false information,â the first man thought for a moment and said.
âThey 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.â
âBut, Sea City Base does have quite some fresh vegetables lately. If they didnât grow those by themselves, where did they get those? Er, are you sure that what you said is true?â
âOf course, itâs true! Look, this is the test report of the soil from the farm in Sea City Base,â 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.
