Chapter 1439 - The Condition for Agreeing to Help

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Wu Chengyue thought for a moment and said, “I have no problem helping the other people in Huaxia Base, but I don’t want to team up with Si Kongchen. I’d rather team up with you. Your power can hurt those underground creatures too. Si Kongchen is a level nine, but he can’t hurt them. So, I don’t think it’s necessary for me to team up with him.”

On hearing his words, Lin Qiao paused briefly to think, “Are you saying that you want me to go with you? What does that have to do with me?”

Wu Chengyue looked at her with a smile, saying, “This is for the future of your base. Think about it. We still have Teng, the ultimate weapon for the monster. If you join the fight too and defeat the monster together with us, Huaxia Base will have no excuses to attack All Beings Base. They won’t bring you any trouble again in the coming twenty years at least!”

If Huaxia people decided to requite kindness with enmity, Lin Qiao would have every reason to destroy them.

“I understand what you think, but I don’t think it’s necessary. They’re going to suffer severe losses this time, even if they can survive the monster. They won’t recover from this disaster in twenty years, so why will I be afraid of them?” Lin Qiao shrugged as she looked at Wu Chengyue and said.

She minded the trouble. She didn’t need to join the fight, so why would she do that?

“Then, will you let me bring Teng over there alone?” Wu Chengyue looked at her and asked.

“That’s impossible!” Lin Qiao objected immediately.

“Aren’t you worried about me? What if I can’t come back?” With Teng’s help, Wu Chengyue would have a bigger hope of defeating the monster. They might not be able to kill it, but taming it would be good enough.

He just couldn’t bear watching all Huaxia people die. Those were all human beings after all.

Lin Qiao stayed silent for a short while and then sighed as she turned to Teng and asked the boy, “Teng, what do you think?”

Teng was sitting in Wu Yueling’s arms at the moment, with his little arms folded before his chest. He was carefully listening to the conversation between his parents before he heard his Mama’s question.

“Oh, I’m fine with it,” he said, “I think Daddy will have a bigger chance to win if he takes me with him. Also, I’m curious about what my Aunty said earlier. I wonder how I will tame that big monster.”

“In this case, let’s go and take a look,” Lin Qiao pressed her lip together and agreed to Wu Chengyue’s request. She had been having no worries about the monster because her base was safe under Teng’s guard. However, she was also aware that Wu Chengyue wouldn’t have the heart to ignore Huaxia’s request for help and watch all Huaxia people die. She sounded reluctant, but in fact, she had agreed to help in her mind a long time ago.

As she agreed quite easily, Wu Chengyue walked to her delightedly. He sat down by her side and held her face with both hands, saying smilingly, “I knew that you’d go with me even if you said no.”

Lin Qiao pushed his hands away, saying, “I can go with you if you want to go, but ask them to remove Si Kongchen from the Chief’s office first. Think of that as him paying the debt for harassing my base the whole time.”

Her help came with a price. She would not kindly help her enemies. Si Kongchen had been attempting to bring trouble to her base the whole time, so she wanted him to pay for that.

As his hands were pushed away from her face, Wu Chengyue coiled a lock of hair of hers with his fingers, saying smilingly, “I am thinking about the same thing. I’m not going to help them for free.”

Teng watched his father flirt with his Mama while saying something serious and couldn’t help but roll his eyes. ‘Come on, there’re kids here,’ the boy complained in his head.

Lin Qiao pulled back her hair as though she had read Teng’s mind. Then, she glanced at Wu Chengyue and said, “Keep your hands off me while you’re talking. I don’t want the kids to learn these things.”

After saying that, she turned and glanced at the two kids.

Teng raised his eyes to look at the ceiling and said, “Well, I didn’t see anything. Right, Ling Ling?”

Ling Ling looked at him with confusion, and then at Wu Chengyue and Lin Qiao. She wanted to say that she had seen it, but Teng winked at her.

Did the boy want her to pretend she didn’t see anything?

Seeing the kid’s reaction, Wu Chengyue smiled at Lin Qiao and said, “They’re too smart to learn the bad things.”

Besides, the boy had to know about that kind of stuff, or he might have difficulties finding himself a wife in the future.

That afternoon, Lin Qiao had a meeting with the others discussing helping Huaxia Base. After all, all the other bases had shown their willingness of helping Huaxia Base. Her base was a zombie base, but its great power was already well-known.

Most importantly, Wu Chengyue had moved to All Beings Base.

Lin Feng and the others believed that in the long run, helping Huaxia Base was doable. However, they still wanted Si Kongchen to die. Therefore, they decided to ask Huaxia Base to give up on Si Kongchen before offering help.

“They agreed almost without hesitation. I guess they’ve hated him for a long time!” After hearing about the response of Huaxia people, Lin Qiao couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Since they’ve accepted your terms, when will you guys leave?” Lin Feng looked at her and asked.

“As soon as possible. That cannon thing in Huaxia Base has pissed the monster off already. There’ll be no one left in that base for us to save if we don’t get there soon. We’re leaving now,” Lin Qiao sighed as she stood up and headed outside. After leaving the conference room, she went up to the roof to find Wu Chengyue standing straight by the edge of the roof, looking ahead. His coat was fluttering in the wind.

He was wearing a normal combat suit. He had stopped wearing a chief’s uniform after resigning from the post of Sea City Base’s Chief.

“Let’s go!” Lin Qiao walked up behind him and said. After that, she hopped onto the fringe stage by the roof and disappeared together with Wu Chengyue.

Lin Feng and the others stood by the window of the conference room, looking outside. “Huaxia is going to suffer severe losses this time,” said Lin Feng, “Hopefully, they’ll become friendlier without Si Kongchen,” said Lin Feng.

Sitting in her seat, Qiu Lili leaned forward as she put an elbow on the desk and rested her chin on her palm, speaking lazily, “He wanted so much to know about our secret, so we let him know. Those human bases are busy protecting themselves now. We’ll have a couple of years developing ourselves in peace, I think.”

After the current crisis ended, Huaxia Base, known as the strongest base in the country, would no longer be the strongest. Sea City Base wouldn’t be a threat either, as Wu Chengyue had left it. Green Mountain Base had a small population, but they also had Dong Xiaowei. Their secret would probably be unveiled soon, just like the secret of All Beings Base.

Green Mountain Base was also going to move into the central area of the country. After all, the living condition in the northwest was too awful. They intended to build a new base somewhere closer to the other bases, so that they wouldn’t have to travel a long and hard journey every time they asked the other base for help or offered their help to the others.
