Lin Qiao walked to the empty seat and sat down. Some files were already placed on the table before her. She conveniently opened the files and browsed, finding that those were some maps and constructional drawings.

While reading the files, she waited for the three guys to start talking.

Yuan Tianxing stood up and took over the map which was held in the hands of Lin Yu who stood by his side, then spread it on the table. He pointed at the construction site on the map and brought up some problems, then they started a discussion.

The building materials used in the construction site were from the old buildings nearby. Those buildings were torn down, and the bricks were sorted for reuse. People had searched through all cement factories in the Upper City District and found some cement, but it was still not enough.

“I’ll collect the materials,” said Lin Qiao, “You only need to build up the fence wall. I’m just thinking about sweeping across the entire Upper City District for supplies. Constructional materials will be my number one target. I’ll also look for food and other daily supplies.”

“Thank you!” said Yuan Tianxing.

Lin Qiao then asked a question, “Did any of our people major in agriculture? The food that we have now can last us for long, and we’re able to collect more. But, we can also develop our own land for farming.”

“But the soil is not good enough to grow crops,” said Lin Feng, “Most of the lands in the world have been infected by the virus. How are we supposed to grow food?”

“If we water the crops with the water from my space, the virus will be suppressed,” said Lin Qiao, “It can’t purify the soil, but will purify the plants.”

“Really?” Both Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing had their eyes glowed, “In that case, we can find some people to cultivate crops. But… we don’t have seeds, do we?”

“I have some seeds,” said Lin Qiao, “I have the seeds of many vegetables, but not grains. I hope I’ll be lucky enough to collect some other seeds.”

“If you’re able to solve the soil problem, we’ll learn to grow our own food,” said Yuan Tianxing, “People don’t have to major in agriculture to do that. They’ll know how to do it as long as they can understand some relevant books.”

She nodded.

The meeting lasted for two or three hours; they talked while pointing at the map the whole time.

In Sea City Base, Wu Chengyue called a large meeting to tell the commoners who were able to work to go to the new base site in Hangzhou City to find jobs if they wanted to earn some food to get through the coming winter.

Du Yuanxing’s stand was soon crowded. Every single day, there was a line of people waiting there to put their names on the list of workers. However, Wu Chengyue made a rule that the superpowered people at level-two and above weren’t allowed to apply for the jobs in the new base.

After all, the superpowered people at level-two and above were already capable enough to kill zombies and harvest nuclei.

However, some people would rather carry bricks than kill zombies.

Killing zombies was so dangerous! Why wouldn’t they take the brick-carrying job while there was a chance?

Before long, Wu Chengyue had sent a truck-full of people to Upper City District. Meanwhile, he left for Jiaxing City with hundreds of people. This time, he didn’t bring Meng Yue or Xiao Yunlong.

He brought Wu Yueling, Xiao Licheng, and the other five superpowered squad leaders, who were all at level-five.

Ever since he honestly told Meng Yue about his true feelings that day, the latter had been avoiding him even during the working time. She always asked Xiao Yunlong to deliver files or messages to him.

Wu Chengyue understood how she felt, so he let her do what she wanted.

It was nearly the end of October. The farming work had stopped temporarily, so Lu Tianyi, who was working in the Agriculture Department, had some free time. He heard that Wu Chengyue was going to send another batch of people to the new base in Upper City District, and decided to follow them there.

This time, his best friend, Kong Qingming, didn’t go with him; his intelligence work had been keeping him pretty busy.

Lu Tianyi, Huang Shou, Zheng Xiaonian, and the other few didn’t officially join those workers, but made their trip a mission. They directly exited the base, then headed toward the Upper City District.

Chief Wu only forbade high-leveled superpowered people from working in the new base, but didn’t say that they couldn’t pay a visit to that place!

Wu Chengyue was sitting in the car; this time, another soldier was driving. Xiao Licheng looked back at him from the front seat and said, “Miss. Lu has returned to Upper City District. Chief, aren’t you going there?”

Wu Chengyue’s people spotted Lin Qiao not long after she left Sea City Base. The car she was driving was very eye-catching, so it was pretty hard for her to avoid being found.

Wu Chengyue shook his head and said, “No rush! I’ll find the air base in Jiaxing first. After achieving our goal, I’ll visit her and see how the construction work of her new base is going. We’re not going there for now.”

“Is the air base really in Jiaxing?” asked Xiao Licheng.

Wu Chengyue responded with a smile, “There is an air base. I’ve checked long ago. I just didn’t tell anyone about it before, as Yang Chao was with us.”

Xiao Licheng turned his head back.

Earlier on, Wu Chengyue asked him to figure out Miss. Lu’s whereabouts. Now, they knew where she was, but weren’t going to find her. He just didn’t understand what his Chief had been thinking.

Wu Chengyue was feeling strange as well. The person that he wanted to marry turned out to be the one who had kidnapped Ling Ling and raped him. He thought about that over and over again, and couldn’t stop feeling unhappy about it.

However, he had given his word and made his decision, so he would not regret. Since he had promised to marry her, he would do it.

Suddenly, he wanted to know what expression she would wear when she learned that he had decided to marry her. Also, he was still very confused by how drastically that female zombie’s personality had changed.

Without makeup, he actually failed to recognize her. How thick was her makeup before?

Wu Chengyue tried to remember, but found that the old Lu Tianyu’s face had already faded in his mind. What had been flashing across his mind was either a scarred face with disheveled hair, or a woman wearing a hat and sunglasses.

What he could remember the most clearly was the delicate face which was held in his arms.

Wu Chengyue didn’t hate Lu Tianyu the zombie for her personality. Even though he didn’t love it, he was interested in it.

At that moment, Wu Yueling who sat beside him pulled his sleeve. Wu Chengyue turned and found her holding the grass dragonfly high, looking at him with her large eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

Wu Yueling raised the grass dragonfly to before his eyes. Right then, Wu Chengyue noticed that the grass dragonfly had started getting loose. Some grass leaves had fallen out, looking like some extra feet of the dragonfly.

He took it over and tried to put those grass leaves back in. After spending a while trying, he found that he wasn’t able to make the grass dragonfly look exactly the same as before. Even though he did put those leaves back in, the dragonfly still looked weird.

Wu Yueling looked at the grass dragonfly in her father’s hands, her face filled with confusion. Wu Chengyue spent some efforts on the grass dragonfly, then handed it back to Wu her

As a result, Wu Yueling glanced at it with dislike, then pushed it back into his hands.

“Daddy doesn’t know how to fix this. It can only stay this way. Maybe, when you see her next time, you can ask her to make you another one. What do you think? Shall we ask her to make you a larger and prettier one?” Wu Chengyue smiled to comfort the little girl.

Wu Yueling gave him a glance, then looked at the grass dragonfly in his hand. After a short hesitation, she finally raised a little hand to take it over.
