Zombie Sister Strategy Chapter 311 - Are You Talking About Me?

None of the four discovered that Lin Qiao had quietly walked to the table, bent over, and sniffed at the dishes. She sensed no scent from those cooked foods.

“Chief Wu, you didn’t invite us here to just have a meal, did you?” said Yuan Tianxing. Meanwhile, Xiao Yunlong picked up his bowl and started filling it with soup.

Hearing Yuan Tianxing’s words, Wu Chengyue responded while Xiao Yunlong served the soup to the guests, “I do have some questions to ask you. But, we can talk while eating. Here, have some soup first! It won’t taste good once it’s cold.”

Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng each took a sip of the soup. “The soup is nice,” Lin Feng commented.

Lin Qiao wanted to get some useful information from them, but as they had started eating, she didn’t think that would happen soon. So, she turned and entered the s.p.a.ce, only to see that Wu Yueling was put on a bed by Liu Jun.

She was still asleep, lying flat, covered by a blanket.

Tong Tong was lying asleep on a couch, probably because he was tired.

Lin Qiao walked to the bed and touched Wu Yueling’s hair, finding that they were already dry. She guessed that it was Xie Dong who dried the little girl’s hair.

Xie Dong had been having a weak sense of presence. In fact, he was in the s.p.a.ce the whole time. Earlier when Lin Qiao stripped herself, he silently ran into the woods.

Lin Qiao scooped up the little one. Seeing her move, Liu Jun asked, “Are you going out?”

Lin Qiao nodded.

At this moment, Wu Chengyue and his guests were eating lukewarmly. Wu Chengyue didn’t start a conversation. Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing stayed silent for a while, and couldn’t help but break the ice. If they didn’t do it, they would feel uneasy during the whole meal.

“Chief Wu, we’ll start talking if you don’t. Earlier on, Deputy Chief has already shown us the note. We did recognize that handwriting,” Lin Feng said.

Wu Chengyue’s hand paused above a dish. He turned to glance at Xiao Yunlong and saw the latter nod.

“Is she with you? I’ve checked the entry records, but didn’t find her name,” Wu Chengyue turned to Lin Feng and said with confusion. He had checked all the name lists of suspicious people and found each one of them. However, the name of that woman never showed up. Didn’t she register while entering the base?

Wu Chengyue thought for a moment, then recalled that Lin Qiao was able to turn herself invisible. Well, if she came in invisibly, she didn’t need to register.

However, being invisible didn’t mean that she had disappeared into thin air. She should still have been detected by all sorts of facilities in the entrance. Her body temperature, heartbeat, and breath could all be grasped by the detectors.

How did she get in then? Did she climb over the fence wall which was seven or eight meters tall?

“You can say that she’s with us,” said Yuan Tianxing, “But, she’s invisible. Usually, she just mysteriously appears in the places she wants to be in, and disappear when she wants to leave.”

The faint smile on Wu Chengyue’s face faded when he said worriedly, “But, why did she steal my daughter? Does she really know how to help Ling Ling get through this?”

Yuan Tianxing turned to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng glanced at him, then said to Wu Chengyue, “She does. My daughter, Lin Xiaolu, had triggered her power not long ago. That lady helped my daughter do it successfully. I only saw her do that once, and I don’t know if Ling Ling is going through the same situation as my daughter was. But, believing in hope is always better than being disappointed.”

Wu Chengyue looked at him with surprise while saying, “Wait a minute! Did you say that your daughter’s power has woken up as well? Is that real?”

He surely knew that Lin Feng’s daughter, Lin Xiaolu, was a seven-year-old little girl, only two years older than Ling Ling.

Why did she trigger her power at such a young age?

As far as he knew, Ling Ling was the second kid who had triggered a superpower. What was going on? Why had their powers started waking up when they were so young?

Lin Xiaolu nodded and said, “I can’t tell the exact reason. We noticed it when Xiaolu’s power just began to wake up, and then, the one who left you this note helped her to get through it.”

“So, you can stop worrying now,” Yuan Tianxing said to Wu Chengyue. “She’s confident about it, or she wouldn’t take Ling Ling away.”

Wu Chengyue calmed himself down, then couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, “That person you’re talking about, who is she?”

At that point, Lin Feng looked at him with a strange expression and said, “In fact, you know her already. Last time, didn’t you ask us if we had seen a short-haired woman with a hat and sungla.s.ses? That’s her. It’s just that the name you told us isn’t the name we know. That’s why we weren’t sure if you were talking about her.”

“Isn’t her name Lin? She told me that herself. You’ve seen the note. Isn’t that her signature?” asked Wu Chengyue.

Thinking about the name ‘Lin’ on the note, both Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing had a strange feeling.

“Are you talking about me?” Suddenly, a dry voice joined the conversation. Everyone on the scene paused for a second, then turned to the source of the voice. They saw a woman standing about three meters from them, carrying a child. She was wearing a hat and a pair of sungla.s.ses, so they couldn’t see her face clearly.

Bang!

Wu Chengyue immediately stood up. Because of his movement, his chair was sent backward and caused a noise.

“Ling Ling!” He recognized his precious little girl at a glance.

As Wu Chengyue seemed to charge at her, Lin Qiao immediately made two steps backward and said, “Eh, wait, wait, let’s make this clear fist. I am now returning your daughter to you, and she’s perfectly healthy now. She’s just asleep. In one or two hours, she’ll wake up. If you dare to attack me again, I’ll come back and take her away again!”

Wu Chengyue paused upon hearing her words. Her speech sounded normal at first, but why did she then start to threaten him?

“Eh? When did you come back? How’s Ling Ling?”

“Yeah, how’s the little Ling Ling?”

Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng hurriedly stood up to speak to Lin Qiao with surprise, and also to ease the tense situation.

“I never left. I was outside the base.” While speaking, Lin Qiao slowly moved toward Wu Chengyue and handed him the child. Meanwhile, she had also been preparing for a sudden lightning bolt that might be landing on her head.

He had done that before after all!

Wu Chengyue hurriedly took over the child and touched her forehead and neck. He felt her pulse and body temperature back to normal. At the moment, her chest was heaving slightly.

Knowing that his daughter was fine, Wu Chengyue finally felt relieved.

Then, he noticed that Lin Qiao hadn’t answered the questions yet.

“How is Ling Ling’s current condition?” He raised his head to look at Lin Qiao and asked. The latter rolled her eyes and responded, “You’ll know when she wakes up.”

After saying that, she disappeared from where she was.

At that point, Meng Yue walked to Wu Chengyue and held Wu Yueling’s hands while focusing her sensations on her. She found that Wu Yueling was healthy indeed.

“It seems that Ling Ling really is fine,” she looked at Wu Chengyue and said, a clear relief reflecting in her voice.
