Chapter 219 - Revenge At Least
Chapter 219: Revenge At Least
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
Meng Yue stared at Xiao Yunlong and suddenly fell in silence.?Seeing that, the latter said to her, “What’s wrong? Just try to feel her!”?His voice brought Meng Yue back to her senses, and she instantly closed her eyes to sense carefully.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…One minute, two minutes…Five minutes later, Meng Yue opened her eyes and asked, “How long have I slept for?”
Seeing the look on her face, Xiao Yunlong had a bad feeling. He had prepared himself mentally before, but Meng Yue’s expression still made him feel despairing.
Meng Yue’s reaction meant that she didn’t feel the seed inside Ling Ling’s body.
If Ling Ling were dead, the seed would be dead as well.
Xiao Yunlong lowered his head and took his hands away from Meng Yue, then squatted and buried his face into his palms.
“Three hours…”
Meng Yue widened her eyes. Then, those eyes turned red, and tears gushed out.
“What should we do now? Should we try finding Ling Ling?” Xiao Yunlong raised his head and asked.?Meng Yue looked at him and responded, “Find her? Where? I can’t sense anything of hers now…”
Xiao Yunlong closed his eyes. A few seconds later, he opened those eyes and said with determination, “Let’s go find Chief. At least…we should let him know about this…It’s all our fault. We failed to keep Ling Ling safe. Even if he kills me…”
Meng Yue suddenly burst in laughter, “Hah…Kill you? What’ll change even if he killed both of us…hehe…”
She was laughing, but her face wore no expression, and was covered in tears.
Meng Yue wasn’t just thinking about Wu Chengyue’s feelings. She was awfully sad too, as she had been treating Ling Ling as her own daughter. She was taking care of Ling Ling the whole time because she hoped that Wu Chengyue would accept her one day. But now, it was over. Wu Yueling was taken away from her and Xiao Yunlong by a zombie.
How should she face Wu Chengyue now? Poor Ling Ling, she was so little! Meng Yue believed that Ling Ling had died because of her and Xiao Yunlong.
Xiao Yunlong took a deep breath, then said, “Whatever will happen, we should tell him. Then we’ll find that zombie together. At least…we need to take revenge.”
Meng Yue paused for a second, then raised her head to look at him.?He was right! Even if Wu Chengyue decided to kill them both, they would accept that as a result. However, no matter what would happen, they needed to take revenge.
After making the decision, the two of them immediately left to find Wu Chengyue. Meng Yue was injured, so the tall and sturdy Xiao Yunlong carried her on his back.
…
Following a series of thunder, the cold raindrops fell from the sky.?On the other side, Wu Chengyue was standing on the balcony of a penthouse near West Lake.?In the post-apocalyptic era, people could find lots of empty, abandoned buildings.
Wu Chengyue gazed at the dark, rainy sky, which seemed to be crying sadly for someone.?The rainwater fell on the ground, roofs, and leaves, washing off the dust in the post-apocalyptic world.
Seeing the rain, Wu Chengyue suddenly had a weird feeling, which wasn’t so good. That feeling made him feel a little suffocated. He wondered if the weather was making him feel depressed.
Thinking of the one who stole his zombie nucleus, Wu Chengyue wore a dark face, his whole body radiating a cold vibe. If anyone was standing by his side, that person would know that even the rain was warmer than him.
He was really mad. How dare anyone steal from him! So bold!
He raised his head to look at the sky again. He forcibly eased the anger in his heart and calmed himself down. Then, he realized that he shouldn’t keep staying in this place. So, he decided to go back to his daughter first, then send some people here to search this area.
He was worried about his daughter.
Xiao Yunlong as a level-six superpowered man was protecting Ling Ling. However, if there were another level-six zombie in the city, Ling Ling would still be in danger, because Xiao Yunlong was no match for a level-six zombie.
Looking at the rain which was growing heavier and heavier, Wu Chengyue decided to return once it abated a little. He had memorized the vibe of the one who had stolen his zombie nucleus, and he would definitely send his people to search for that creature. Perhaps, they would see each other in the future.
By then, he would find out who exactly that bold creature was.
…
At the moment, Wu Yueling, who was staying in Lin Qiao’s space, was less frightened than before. She stayed alert, but the fluffy rabbit in her arms made her feel much better.
She had finished the strawberries served by Lin Qiao.
Wu Yueling recognized Xie Dong, but not Ling Qiao. After all, her dad had told her that many powerful zombies had black eyes.
She wasn’t sure if the one who treated her with strawberries were a person or a zombie. She looked exactly like a person from the base, not as ugly and disgusting as any of those scary zombies out there.
And…this good-looking zombie knew how to make grass dragonfly as well…And, Wu Yueling hadn’t found her zombie sister yet.
‘Where did she go?’ she wondered.
Lin Qiao ignored all the puzzles in the little one’s head. As long as the kid stopped being nervous and scared, she didn’t care if the latter recognized her or not.
Lin Qiao was now considering about how to send the kid back to her father. She had stolen the father’s treasure not long ago, and now, she was going to pay him back with such a big favor. What a coincidence!
But this time, she didn’t need to meet him face to face to give him his daughter back, because she had helpers!
Glancing at Lu Tianyi and the others, Lin Qiao decided to send Wu Yueling to her father along with these people. As their leader, Wu Chengyue should bring them back to the base. In that case, Lin Qiao didn’t need to send these people all the way back to the base.
She also wondered if Wu Chengyue knew that his daughter was in danger, as he was hunting monsters just now. She wondered how he would react if he found out that his daughter was taken away by a level-six zombie.
With these thoughts, she slowly stood up and walked to Xie Dong. Then, she took over the clipboard and waved at Lu Tianyi and the others.
Lu Tianyi, Kong Qingming and the others walked to her with confusion.
“What? What’s the plan?” Lu Tianyi walked over, then turned back to glance at the little one.
He was surprised as the child was no longer frightened. That was such a quick emotional change! Didn’t people say that autistic children were sensitive to their environment? In a strange place, autistic children would feel insecure and highly nervous.
But now, the little princess looked rather calm. She reacted the way she was supposed to once she was awake, but now she had calmed down. Why? Was it because of the rabbit? Did the rabbit divert her attention?
Or, did this space have some kind of power to comfort children?
Lu Tianyi wasn’t the only one who had these questions, as the others too had been making all sorts of guesses.
