Wu Chengyue, who had returned to Sea City Base, was really a little disheartened . Even though the zombie lady hadn't responded to him, he used to believe that he still had a chance . But now, he was less confident . She was never so close to another guy before .
Her relationship with Doctor Lin was better than Wu Chengyue imagined . She even told that doctor about her baby . She trusted the doctor so much, and that made Wu Chengyue feel uneasy .
Wu Chengyue knew that she and the doctor weren't friends or family . They didn't even know each other before . However, she believed him so much that she even told him the big secret about her zombie nature and pregnancy .
Wu Chengyue also knew that the zombie lady wouldn't possibly tell anyone about that if she didn't trust that person a hundred percent . She wasn't even planning on telling Wu Chengyue about it!
Thinking of that, Wu Chengyue was upset . There was a strange atmosphere when the zombie lady was with the doctor . He felt as if he wasn't welcomed in their world .
During the past few days, he felt very uncomfortable every time he sensed how familiar those two were with each other . Therefore, he decided to leave . He didn't want to see the two of them being together anymore . He needed to rest .
Back in Sea City Base, Wu Yueling was unhappy again . She wanted to be with her Zombie Mommy . However, the things between her Daddy and her Zombie Mommy seemed to be weird .

Wu Yueling was too young to understand those grown-up things . However, as a sensitive, autistic child, she could detect the changes in the surrounding environment more sharply than the other kids . She had clearly sensed the strange atmosphere between Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue, and how their tones of speaking had changed slightly .
She felt those changes, but didn't dare to do anything .
Wu Chengyue sat on his couch, looking at Wu Yueling in the eyes . He knew that she was unhappy again . He sighed and held his daughter in his arms .
"Ling Ling, what if Zombie Mommy doesn't like Daddy, but likes someone else? She might be with that person, and not us," Wu Chengyue said to her frustratedly .
On hearing that, Wu Yueling instantly popped her eyes and then quickly grasped Wu Chengyue's sleeves while shaking his head anxiously .
"I'm sad too . But, Daddy can't do anything now . She already dislikes me . What if I did something wrong and made her hate me?" Wu Chengyue said .
He came home so quickly because he had been trying to control his temper all the time . He was worried that he might lose his temper if he stayed longer . Things would be awful if he lost control and did something to hurt the zombie lady .

"Oi, why are you back home so soon? I thought you'd stay there for half a month at least . " A resonant voice was heard, following which, the tall and strong Xiao Yunlong walked in .
"I was worried that I might kick somebody's ass if I stayed there," Wu Chengyue responded without looking at him .
"Ah, I heard about that… haha! A young and handsome doctor recently showed up around Miss . Lu," Xiao Yunlong headed straight to the point that Wu Chengyue did not want to talk about with a naughty grin on his face .
Wu Chengyue looked at him expressionlessly, then curved his lips in a fake smile and said, "I heard that Yue is pretty close with Kong Qingming lately . Aren't you afraid that she might be stolen from you?"
His fightback didn't work this time as Xiao Yunlong responded carelessly, "Don't you worry about that . Qingming is in love with some other girl . He won't cast his eyes on my Yue . "
Wu Chengyue found his confident smile so annoying that he even wanted to hit him .

"So, did you admit defeated and run back home? Are you gonna give up?" Xiao Yunlong sat on the couch and looked at him curiously .
"That's impossible!" 'She's pregnant with my baby! How can I ever give up?' he thought as he answered Xiao Yunlong's question without thinking .
"Why did you come back then?" Xiao Yunlong was even more curious than before .
"I don't want to push her too hard, in case she hates me . I need to create some space between us for now . You, make some arrangements to talk to them about how to divide our hunting field . The weather is getting warm, and the zombie hunting season is coming," said Wu Chengyue .
While speaking, the look on his face turned grim again . "I feel that mutated animals have been evolving quickly during the past winter . There're more and more level-seven mutated plants and animals to be seen recently . "
That was not a good thing . Those mutated creatures were even harder to deal with than zombies . If they evolved even faster than before, they would become another big problem for humans . The success rate of the zombie-hunting missions would reduce again .
Speaking of that, Xiao Yunlong wore a serious look too . "I was going to tell you about the news that I newly received . Half a month ago, a level-three zombie-hunting group from Outer C sent out a team . Only three of them managed to make it back while the others all died . "
"A team? All died?" Wu Chengyue narrowed his eyes . His face wasn't showing a very sullen look, but a faintly detected depression did flash across his face .
Normally, a zombie-hunting team had twenty to fifty people in three squads; each squad had ten to twelve people .
Xiao Yunlong nodded and said, "Yes . The team leader is a level-six fire-powered man, and there were four level-five people . The other members were all at level two or three, while about ten of them were commoners . Today, only two level-five and one commoner came back to the base . The others all died . "
He looked a little depressed while saying that . "According to those three, they accidentally fell into the nest of some mutated rats . Those rats were twice the size of cats, with a huge population . Many of them were at level five or six . Those rats are able to drill into the ground, and their teeth were sharp enough to break sharp tungsten steel weapons . It was lucky for them to survive . "
Hearing that, Wu Chengyue knitted his brows into a deep frown . What made him worry wasn't how fast those rats could be or how strong their teeth were . Instead, it was their number . As Xiao Yunlong just said, there was a huge population of rats .
The fertility of rats was as great as their viability . Therefore, the large size of the rat group really made him worry .
"What exactly happened? Have they seen how many rats there were? How big was the nest?" Wu Chengyue asked with a frown .
"That's what I'm here to tell you about . They said that they only saw a corner of the nest, They were scared by that huge group of rats that gushed out from underground, so they failed to react in time . Those rats were all huge, strong, and swift . Imagine it . When a huge group of rats come at you, superpower attacks won't work . All they could do was defend . There were too many rats!" Xiao Yunlong told Wu Chengyue what he knew while thinking about the terrified look on the three survivors' faces .
