764 I Have No Such Obligation

Wu Chengyue fell into silence. A short while later, he said, "I guess there's a problem with this zombie emperor."

Xiao Licheng looked at him and asked, "Are we going to… Huaxia Base, or not?"

If what he said was real, the zombie emperor might really become a threat for the mankind as Huaxia Base people said. If they underestimated the zombie emperor, their base would be in danger. They couldn't let the number of human bases reduce after all.

Wu Chengyue thought for a second, then turned and headed back.

"She might have more detailed information than you do," he said.

Soon, Xiao Licheng followed Wu Chengyue back to the door of Lin Qiao's office. The latter smilingly looked at Shen Yujen and Duan Juan, who were guarding the door, and said to them, "There's one other thing that I forgot to ask your Chief about just now. Please?"

Duan Juan made eye-contact with Shen Yujen, then gave a glance to Xiao Licheng, who was behind Wu Chengyue. After that, she turned and knocked on the door.

"Come in," Lin Qiao's bland voice was heard.

Duan Juan opened the door for Wu Chengyue. Xiao Licheng glanced at Duan Juan and Shen Yujen, then stood beside the former.

"Your Chief is really difficult," Duan Juan looked straight expressionlessly and abruptly said a few words with a low voice.

"This time, it's about something serious," After a short silence, Xiao Licheng responded, also with a low voice.

Duan Juan gave him a sideways glance without saying anything.

Lin Qiao stared at Wu Chengyue who left but then came back, but didn't say a word.

"There's something that I think you need to know… It's about Mo Yan. He has destroyed Heilong Base, so Huaxia Base will be next. How good is the chance you think he'll succeed?" Wu Chengyue walked to the window that was by the side of Lin Qiao's desk and glanced outside the window while speaking. Then, he turned and leaned against the window frame as he looked at Lin Qiao.

"He is a zombie emperor. He's much more powerful than I am. He can easily summon and control ten million zombies. As for the chance, it's hard to say. Huaxia Base has a very strong fence wall and shield, and so many weapons. Those aren't just for decoration," Lin Qiao rolled the pen in her hand while responding.

"You're right. But, if they really have to face millions of zombies, their bullets are going to run out at some point, right? If he even breaks the Huaxia Base, will Mongols Base be the next?" said Wu Chengyue.

If Huaxia Base fell, not to mention Mongols Base, even Sea City Base and Sky Fire Base wouldn't be able to hold for long. All bases would fall under the threat of the zombie emperor.

Lin Qiao looked at him and said, "What? Are you changing your mind? Are you going to Huaxia to help?"

"Don't you feel that something is wrong with the zombie emperor?" Wu Chengyue asked without answering Lin Qiao's question.

Lin Qiao nodded and said, "So what? It has nothing to do with me."

"If Huaxia Base, Mongols Base, and Sky Fire Base are all destroyed, do you think your place and mine will survive him?" said Wu Chengyue.

"I don't have the obligation to save the mankind. But, if he does come back here, I won't let him do what he wants," said Lin Qiao.

"So, you think Mo Yan has a good chance of destroying Huaxia Base, right? You seem to have seen how the other bases ended," Wu Chengyue looked at her face and made a guess. From her words, he detected that she knew about Mo Yan's condition. It seemed that Huaxia Base would fall into a very bad situation.

"Who knows what'll happen in the future? Based on the present situation, I think Mo Yan is going to make a big move. I don't know if Huaxia Base can survive it. It's none of my business anyway. If you can't bear watching it happen and want to help, you should go as soon as you can," Lin Qiao replied carelessly, then lowered her head and went back into her work.

With a faint smile, Wu Chengyue spread his hands and said, "That's none of my business, and I don't have the obligation to save mankind either. I'll just keep my Sea City Base safe and stable."

After saying that, he turned and left with Wu Yueling. Duan Juan and Shen Yujen watched him leave.

"Pay close attention to Huaxia Base's recent situation, and also Mo Yan's." Walking out of Lin Qiao's office, Wu Chengyue stopped smiling and frowned slightly as he said to Xiao Licheng.

"Yes, sir!" Xiao Licheng nodded.

For the next few days, Lin Qiao stayed in the base to deal with all kinds of work while upgrading the zombies in her space. Yuan Tianxing had been the one managing the farm and the human base. However, the endless work was keeping him too busy.

Ever since Lin Qiao refused him, he decided to focus on work until he died.

Lin Wenwen often looked at him from distance away. She never got close to him to bother him while he was working, but every time when got so exhausted that he lay his head on the desk and fell asleep, she would put a blanket on him and then leave quietly.

The other departments had been handing Lin Qiao the lists of the supplies that they needed. Lin Qiao would go through those lists, select those urgently needed supplies, then make a new list and give it to Lin Feng. After that, Lin Feng would take his people out of the base to collect those supplies. Normally, he would spend about half a month out there, and he was also getting too busy to come home.

Qiu Lili and Yun Meng were sent out to carry missions too. Under their leadership, some zombie kings and queens from the base went out to collect energy nuclei. They went in different directions, each having three level-six zombies under their command.

Gao Haoyun joined Huaxia Base, but no other bases offered help. Currently, they were fighting against the endless zombies purely with their own people and weapons. Dead zombies piled up against their fence wall. Fire-powered people burn them into ashes, but that couldn't stop the other zombies from rushing up and try to climb up the wall.

At first, Huaxia Base people exhibited their strong military force and launched their powerful weapons. The zombie crowd was crushed by long-range weapons even before they reached the clearing surrounding the wall.

However, about half a month after the beginning, their defense began turning less intense. As the zombies rushed into the clearing, all kinds of machine guns were fired.

Lin Qiao had still been building her base with all the patience. The fence wall on the human side was done by ninety-five percent. When it was completed, the other half of the wall would start to be constructed.

As the base had some new members, the construction work grew more efficient than before.

The other bases had all been paying attention to Huaxia Base. Except for Lin Qiao, the sense of crisis that the leaders of the other bases felt had increased with the situation of Huaxia Base going downhill.

Some Mongols Base people had already started to run away from their base.

At that point, a zombie dominator who lived in Lin Qiao's space currently finally decided to tell her about something that was buried in his mind all the time, after spending such a long time observing Lin Qiao.
