Lin Jing looked at Lin Kui and asked him a question with a meaningful smile, “Is this your girlfriend?”

“Ah? Eh… No! I…” Lin Kui finally came back to his senses as he looked at his sister with surprise and stuttered .
Qiu Lili sprung up from the couch and stepped to Lin Kui’s side, then grabbed an arm of his automatically . She tilted her head and said to Lin Jing, “No, I’m not his girlfriend . Hmm… I just like him in his cat shape… Oh, no, I don’t hate his human shape…”
She felt that Lin Jing had misunderstood what she said earlier . She tried to explain, but didn’t know how . She didn’t even know how she actually felt . Therefore, she started to stutter .
“Oh, I see! Alright, I get it!” Lin Jing smiled gently as she watched the girl hold Lin Kui’s arm .
Lin Kui didn’t expect Qiu Lili to be so straightforward . He was startled, but he was somehow slightly delighted too . He didn’t wear it on his face, but as he turned to look at Qiu Lili, a trace of happiness escaped his eyes .
Lin Jing had been observing the two of them all the time . Noticing the look in her brother’s eyes . she curved her lip corners in a bigger smile .
“Alright, you guys sit here . I’ll make some breakfast, and then you two can keep me company when I eat,” Lin Jing waved at the two and then went into her bedroom, putting down what Lin Kui gave her . After that, she came out and went into the kitchen .

Lin Kui asked Shen Yujen to accommodate his sister . Some of the others saw Lin Jing merely as a weak commoner who should have no right to live in the one-bedroom apartment . But, the people who were relatively close to her all knew that she had a brother who was mysterious and powerful . The security guys in the building were especially protective of Lin Jing . The people who attempted to dig out Lin Jing’s background had all been warned by them .
Hearing what Lin Jing said, Lin Kui and Qiu Lili glanced at each other automatically . Only after that did Qiu Lili realize how close she was to him at the moment . She immediately let go of his arm as if hit by an electric current . Then, she stepped back to the couch and sat down .
Neither could Lin Kui nor Qiu Lili eat human food, so they sat there and watched while Lin Jing was having her breakfast .
“So, you like cats . Zombie cats like Kui are rarely seen indeed! Most of the zombies have metal power, fire power, water power, and earth power . I think the ones who can turn into animals are special . ” Thinking about what Qiu Lili said earlier, Lin Jing said to her while drinking the sour and spicy soup and picking pancakes with her chopsticks .
Qiu Lili only smiled shyly in response .
“How long have you two known each other?” Lin Jing asked another question .
“Not long,” Qiu Lili said, “We officially met each other a few days ago . Before that, we had only heard each other’s name and sensed each other’s presence . ”

She hardly talked to Lin Kui before . After all, Lin Kui had a very weak sense of presence . He often disappeared without a trace . If those underground creatures didn’t attack a few days ago, she wouldn’t know that the zombie guy was actually able to turn into a huge cat!
“Oh, I see!” Lin Jing said . ‘Their relationship developed fast,’ she thought as she smiled and gave Lin Kui a glance . The latter stayed silent as he listened to the two girls talk to each other .
On the other side, Lin Qiao returned to the base and first sorted the files that Xie Dong gave her, then headed to Base Number One to meet the person from Green Mountain Base .
A round-faced girl walked in, whom Lin Qiao had seen once before . She came to All Being Base to recommend an anti-zombie drug the last time .
“Are you alone? Are you here to see your zombies?” Lin Qiao sat in the armchair in her office and leaned against the back of the chair as she looked at Ye Yingyue and asked . The latter sat on the couch nearby, wearing an embarrassed look on her doll face . “Eh, not exactly . I came here mainly to tell you about one thing, and also to check on our zombies . ”
“Oh!” Lin Qiao looked at her curiously, “What’s so important that Lan Lu sent you all the way here alone to tell me about it?”
“It’s… Um, we have… accidentally… let someone from Sky Fire Base know about your zombie nature . We’re not sure if they believe in it or not though . We’ve tried to cover it and make them believe what they heard isn’t real,” Ye Yingyue looked at Lin Qiao . She seemed to be a little frightened, maybe because she was feeling guilty . After all, the secret was leaked from her base by Lan Lu, one of the few who were responsible for the base .

A cold and fierce look flashed across Lin Qiao’s eyes once she heard Ye Yingyue’s words . She looked at the latter expressionlessly and said to her in a peaceful tone, “Are you saying that Sky Fire Base people have learned from you about the fact that I am a zombie?”
Ye Yingyue said that her people had tried to cover the truth, but the enemies had already found out about it . No matter if the truth could be covered or not, the enemies already had doubts . Since they had doubts, they would certainly find a way to the truth .
She knew that both Sky Fire Base and Huaxia Base had their eyes on Green Mountain Base currently . Therefore, she was not surprised to hear that Lan Lu had leaked her secret . But still, she was unhappy about it .
Under Lin Qiao’s gaze, Ye Yingyue sensed an invisible but strong vibe coming straight at her, making her feel suffocated .
“Hmm, yeah!” She managed to nod .
Lin Qiao turned her eyes away and stayed silent for a few seconds, then asked, “When?”
As Lin Qiao turned her eyes away, Ye Yingyue sighed with relief and then answered her question, “Half a month ago . The one who heard the secret is not weak . He made a trip back to Sky Fire Base after he heard about it . ”
That person was, of course, not weak . After all, he managed to approach Lan Lu, who was a level-eight spirit-power possessor, without being noticed by him .
Lin Qiao blinked and said, “Did that person bring any other news back to Sky Fire Base? What do you know about him?”
Hearing that, Ye Yingyue slightly dropped her head to think and said, “That guy… We haven’t found out anything about him . He is very mysterious! All we know is that he’s from Sky Fire Base… We don’t know if he brought any other news back to his base . But, something did happen a while ago . I think it had something to do with him . Some superpower possessors from our base went missing, along with some of the people that Huaxia Base sent to spy on us . ”
She furrowed her brows slightly and then continued, “The bodies of those people were found in a few places . Those corpses were a little strange . Also, some traces of Sky Fire Base people were found in those places . ”
“Strange? How?” Lin Qiao immediately asked .
