Wu Chengyue put Wu Yueling down and said, “Take your little sister and brother upstairs to play in your room.”

Wu Yueling nodded, then stood up from Wu Chengyue’s arms and walked to the side.

“Xiaolu, take him away from me!” Lin Qiao immediately pointed at her son and said.

“Alright,” Lin Xiaolu walked up to Duan Juan and carefully held Teng in her arms. She had already learned how to hold that little cousin of hers.

“Whoa! What are you guys gonna talk about? I want to hear it too!” Teng wasn’t willing to be taken upstairs. He had a feeling that his parents were going to talk about him next.

“You’re just a kid. You should stay out of it!” Lin Qiao gave him a glance, then sat on the couch and crossed her legs, folding her arms before her chest.

Lin Xiaolu held Teng and said, “Alright Teng, stop arguing with Aunty!”

After saying that, she followed Wu Yueling upstairs. It wasn’t the first time she played in Ling Ling’s house, so she was familiar with the place. At the stairs, she continued speaking with a smile, “You never win anyway!”

Teng didn’t know what to say.

As the kids went upstairs, the adults in the living room suddenly fell into a weird quietness.

Lin Qiao wasn’t happy about the fact that her son didn’t pick her side, so she did not want to talk.

Wu Chengyue felt that he might end up displeasing the zombie lady if he said anything, so he chose to stay silent as well.

Xiao Yunlong looked around, then sneakily observed Wu Chengyue. The man was wearing his standard every-day smile, but the happiness in his eyes was pretty obvious today. Judging by the look of satisfaction and tolerance in his eyes, he had clearly managed to do what he wanted last night.

He thought for a moment, then brought up a new topic, “Oh, those creatures ran away last night, but they might come back someday. Have you guys figured out a way to deal with them yet? I heard that the battle was pretty intense last night.”

Last night, he spent the whole night in All Beings Base and learned pretty much all the details about those creatures. He didn’t go to Base Number Two to visit those zombies himself, but did hear that they were all injured severely. He learned that those creatures lived underground, so he started to worry that they might dig a tunnel underneath All Beings Base someday.

“They are afraid of the sun and some special superpowers. They never show up during the daytime. We still need to keep an eye on that area at night. We can’t put a shield underneath All Beings Base, can we? Those things can even break iron walls,” Wu Chengyue had no idea how to prevent those creatures from invading the base from underground.

If those creatures weren’t able to break metal walls, they could choose to build an underground base with metals. That would take a very long time though, as it wouldn’t be as easy as building fence walls.

“Anyhow, we need to beef up the night guards and patrols,” Xiao Yunlong scratched his chin and said. He felt that the current situation of All Beings Base was pretty troublesome.

Lin Qiao made no objections to what they said. She was also worried because of those creatures. However, that was the problem of her base, so she planned to start solving it when she got home. Those creatures had been forced back to their nest anyway. Based on what happened earlier, she assumed that they would stay quiet for at least a few days.

“I’ll figure something out about that myself. You don’t need to worry about it yet.” She pointed at the stairs and said, “So, you brought my son here only because you wanted to throw him a one-month-old party here?”

“Eh-hem, well, yeah! After all, we all wanted to meet the baby, and we were too busy to go to All Beings Base to visit him. Sister, you know we still need to stay alert against Huaxia Base and Sky Fire Base,” said Xiao Yunlong.

Lin Qiao looked at him coldly and said, “I won’t say no because Viney has agreed to throw the party here. Please don’t call me sister, thank you.”

“Eh?” Xiao Yunlong paused briefly, feeling a little embarrassed. He quickly turned to Wu Chengyue. The latter looked at him and winked silently.

“Eh-hem, alright, um… Chief Lu? Will that sound too unfriendly?” Xiao Yunlong had no choice but to change his way of addressing her.

Lin Qiao raised her eyebrows and responded, “I’m fine with it as long as you stop calling me sister. That’s very annoying.”

“Haha…” Xiao Licheng couldn’t stop but burst in laughter. Hearing himself, he quickly turned his head away. Seeing that, Duan Juan gave him a warning glance.

‘My boss isn’t in a good mood now. You better not cause any trouble.’

Xiao Licheng turned back. Seeing that all the others were looking at him, he immediately responded, “I’m sorry! I’ll step to the side.”

Xiao Yunlong felt embarrassed while Wu Chengyue stayed composed. Lin Qiao was still carrying a cold expression.

What was so funny? Being called ‘sister’ by the man was annoying indeed!

“Hem… I’m curious why you’ve been calling your son Viney. That doesn’t sound like a boy’s name…” Xiao Yunlong asked.

Lin Qiao gave him a glance and said, “I don’t think that has anything to do with you. I don’t need to explain it to you.”

Hearing her merciless response, Xiao Yunlong instantly shut his mouth. She might be a little angry at him because he brought her son to his base without her permission.

“Eh-hem, since Teng has agreed to throw his party here, can you please inform the people whom you want to invite to the party to come here?” They couldn’t tell everyone about Teng, but the important people should still be invited to Teng’s party. The ones who would be invited to the party should be the important people from Sea City Base and All Beings Base.

On Wu Chengyue’s side, the other two base leaders would attend the party, and so would Xiao Licheng, Moli, and Meng Yue, who were known as his subordinates but were more like his brothers and sister. Some other trustworthy people would also be invited, such as Kong Qingming.

Thinking about Kong Qingming, Wu Chengyue recalled that he had sent people to inform him to come back long ago. However, the young man hadn’t returned yet. He had probably run into some kind of trouble on his way back to the base. Yesterday, Wu Chengyue sent out another batch of people to aid him.

“I get it,” Lin Qiao nodded and said, “I’ll give you a list.”

“Have you sent people to look for Kong Qingming and the others yet? The ones I sent out haven’t brought anything back to me. I think they’re probably in trouble,” she then added.

A couple of days ago, Lin Qiao sent two wind-powered zombies to tell Lin Wenwen to come back for Teng’s one-month-old party. She and the others should be back in the base already, but nothing had been heard from them yet.

“I did,” Wu Chengyue nodded and said, “But I haven’t heard anything from them yet. I had sent out another squad yesterday. Did you find anything?”

Based on Lin Qiao’s question, Wu Chengyue figured that she might have detected something. After all, her people were with Kong Qingming and the others from Sea City Base.

Lin Qiao folded her arms before her chest, with her fingers flicking on her arms as she looked at Wu Chengyue and said with surprise, “Didn’t you notice the recent movements of Huaxia Base?”
