Before leaving, Wu Chengyue looked deeply into her eyes . Lin Qiao detected something different from that look in his eyes, but she still didn't believe that he would like her for real .
She was not a little girl anymore, but a mature and rational person . She always considered romantic relationships less important than the affection between family members and long-term friends . She hardly trusted other people, especially a man who aggressively tried to invade her life .
Therefore, when Wu Chengyue started pursuing her, she instinctively thought about his purposes, and couldn't help but feel repulsion .
Yang Jianhua wasn't the only person who had betrayed her . She had suffered betrayal before the apocalypse too . She hated Yang Jianhua so much . Fortunately, she lost her memories for a while, and that gave her the space to accept what happened slowly . Otherwise, it would take her a lot of energy to struggle out of the frustration .
Therefore, she rejected Wu Chengyue directly when she found that he was having some other purposes . She didn't care if he liked her with his true heart now .
"No . " She shook her head carelessly after hearing what Liu Jun said, "He's been annoying me the whole time . I wish he'll never bother me again . "
Wu Chengyue had been pursuing her for months, yet she still had no special feelings for him . The look that Wu Chengyue had in his eyes before leaving actually made her feel relieved .
She felt that he was about to give up .

"You have stopped aging now," Liu Jun clicked her tongue and said, "Are you gonna always stay alone?" She looked at Lin Qiao and said .
How lonely and empty would that be? Her heart might be corroded by loneliness .
Liu Jun felt lucky as she had her son . She couldn't imagine how dull her zombie life would be without her son .
"Me? Who said that I'm alone? I have a family… What about you? When will you find Tongtong a father? It's hard for you to raise him alone," Lin Qiao rolled her eyes and then threw the question back to Liu Jun .
Superpowered people could live longer than commoners, that was for sure . High-leveled zombies might be able to live even longer than them!
"Me? I'm good now . I have a job, and everything I need . I'm able to raise my Tongtong . He doesn't need a father!" Liu Jun instinctively felt repulsion toward that idea . Whether she could manage to raise her son alone or not, she wouldn't be with any man right now . She would need her son's approval for that! Tongtong was still too young to make that kind of decision .
"Alright! If you have no other important things, just leave . I'm busy here . I have no time for this gossip," Lin Qiao urged her to leave .
During the past few days, Lin Hao and Wu Chengyue had argued in her office all the time . She couldn't even focus on her work, so her work had piled up already . Now, as they had both left, she finally had some time to deal with the accumulated work .

"Alright . I was just trying to say that if you like Chief Wu a little bit, you need to make a move, before anyone else does . God knows how many women in Sea City Base have been drooling over him . I hope you won't regret when he's taken by someone else," Liu Jun stood up and left her a few words, then opened the door and left .
"What the hell! Whoever wants him can have him! I won't regret!" Lin Qiao looked at the closed door, feeling speechless .
In the next couple of days, Wu Chengyue did not show up again . Qiu Lili and the others returned in three days, handing Lin Qiao a baby-fist-sized, green energy nucleus . The energy contained in that level-seven plan nucleus was immense .
"You have no idea how many vines that plant had . Those thick and strong vines covered the entire park, as hard as steel . We couldn't cut them off!" Qiu Lili and the others returned in bad shapes . She first went back to her room to take a shower and change into clean clothes, then came to Lin Qiao's office .
She was a little unhappy, maybe because the vine plant had dirtied her clothes .
"So how did you guys kill it?" Lin Qiao asked curiously while observing the nucleus in her hand .
It was as same as how Lin Wenwen described it . Lin Wenwen seemed to have really developed her second superpower, the power of predicting the future . It looked like that power needed to be triggered by extrinsic factors .

"She did it . She turned invisible and hid her vibe, then sneaked near the plant's heart and dug out its nucleus!" Qiu Lili pointed at Yun Meng, who was standing by her side .
Yun Meng nodded and added, "The plant's vines were powerful, but its main body was harmless . It wasn't able to defend its heart actually . The nucleus was growing on a branch like a fruit, and I cut it off easily!"
Yun Meng was pretty surprised too .
"How did you know that it was there? Have you been there?" Qiu Lili asked .
"No, someone told me . I asked you to go not just for this nucleus, but also prove something else," Lin Qiao shook her head and said .
She wanted to know if what Lin Wenwen said was real .
"Alright . "
It was the middle of April . The air temperature had raised a little, but only for the daytime . The nights were still icy-cold .
Lin Qiao made no big move recently . One side of her base was already built up, and the other side was currently in construction .
Lei Cheng and Ye Yingyue from Green Mountain Base had returned to their base with Lin Qiao's message, and run a discussion with Lan Lu and two other chairmen . At last, they decided to accept her offer, and take a group of zombies to All Beings Base .
As the zombie emperor had left, the zombie-clearing mission in Huaxia Base was running smoothly . No more zombies joined the crowd, so it only took them half a month to clear out a big half of the zombies near their base .
The dead zombies were either burned or buried deep underground .
At the same time, the reconstruction of Heilong Base was going stably as well . That base wouldn't be able to regain its vitality within a short time, but they managed to clean out all the zombies in their base and save their farm . With all the people they had, the base would be able to recover from the disaster in a year or so .
Sea City Base stayed the same with no changes happening . Unlike it, the atmosphere was a little tense in Sky Fire Base . One of their leaders had gone missing, like what happened to the leaders of Hidden Cloud City .
Sky Fire Base had three leaders . He Mu had vanished in Earth Dragon Base, and recently, Gu Yikang, the other leader, had disappeared as well .
As the last leader of the base, Li Zhengye had been having a constantly increasing sense of crisis . He had seen the ends of Earth Dragon Base and Hidden Cloud City, and had a feeling that the Sky Fire Base would be the next to follow that path .
