“Possessed? Like by a ghost? What the hell is it?” Wu Chengyue looked at Chen Yuting with confusion.

“Well… I heard that it’s a little complicated. I think Miss. Lu used to live in our Sea City Base. For some reason, she died and turned into a zombie, also into someone else. I heard that her personality is completely different from before. Also, it was her who traveled all the way from Sea City Base to the South and saved Lin Family people when Hades Base was under attack,” Chen Yuting told the secrets that he had learned in the new base to Wu Chengyue.

“I guess those Hades Base people had secretly observed her and investigated into her because she showed up suddenly, and had been helping them the whole time. Those people were probably confused. You’ve seen it anyway. All that Miss. Lu had done before was to help those people. If you were them, you’d be confused and get suspicious too. After all, in this post-apocalyptic era, no one will help others for no reason. There must be a reason.”

Hearing that, Wu Chengyue nodded and said, “That’s right. And she has indeed turned into another soul…”

He murmured the last few words with a very low voice, so Chen Yuting didn’t hear him clearly.

“What?” Chen Yuting asked.

“Wu Chengyue shook his head and said, “Hm, nothing… She has changed greatly this time. Did anything happen in the South? Why did she suddenly become the Chief of this base after she returned? And, you said that she’s possessed, and also mentioned her memory. What are those about?”

Chen Yuting responded, “In fact, I don’t know for sure. But, I think those Hades Base people are seeing Miss. Lu as Chief Netherworld Fire, the one who detonated herself a couple of months ago. She seems to have restored Chief Netherworld Fire’s memory. That’s why she became the Chief of this place. And her power… Space is not her only power. She also has that corrosive dark fire, as same as Chief Netherworld Fire had.”

Wu Chengyue raised his eyebrows and said, “Are you saying that she has a special fire power? Have you seen her use it yet?”

“No,” Chen Yuting shook his head.

Wu Chengyue crossed his arms before his chest and asked, “Do you believe it? That she’s Netherworld Fire.”

Chen Yuting’s eyes showed confusion. He thought for a moment, then replied, “I don’t. But whoever she is, she’s the one that I’m going to follow.”

“Why did you tell me so much then? Do you think it’s gonna do her any good?” Wu Chengyue raised his brows again and laughed.

“Do you believe me then? Besides, what I’ve told you is all baseless! Even if you told other people about it, I guess they wouldn’t believe you,” Chen Yuting looked at him and smiled.

Wu Chengyue nodded and said, “Alright. That is indeed a little… well… supernatural? Em, we live in the era of science, so people won’t normally buy what you said. However, if you explained it in another way… things might be different. I guess no one has thought of doing experiments in that sphere yet.”

“What is it?” Chen Yuting asked with confusion.

“Copy memory, transfer superpowers,” Wu Chengyue glanced at him and said.

Chen Yuting paused briefly, then frowned again and said, “I don’t think it can be that easy. We’re not talking about robots.”

“But, it’s still possible. From the angle of science, that might become one of the scientific research directions in tens, or a hundred years,” said Wu Chengyue.

“Who has the mood to study that now? Without solving the problems of the zombie virus and those zombies, when can human beings start a new era?” Chen Yuting thought for a moment and then remarked.

“Oi, would that female zombie kill you if she heard what you said? Eh?” Wu Chengyue reminded him not to forget whom he was following now.

“Eh… That’s different! I was thinking from other people’s angle. It’s not like I’m really doing it,” Chen Yuting paused, then guiltily glanced at the door.

Xiao Licheng listened to their conversation with great interests.

Then, Chen Yuting thought of one problem and asked, “Oh, Chief Wu, why did you accept Miss. Lu’s condition so easily? Is Yan Fangyu worth so much? I don’t think so! What do you think, Licheng?”

“Huh?” Xiao Licheng first replied with confusion, and then thought for a moment before continuing, “According to you, Deputy Chief Yan did do those bad things. She has killed one of their men, so it’s reasonable for us to compensate them for their loss. Now, it’s not about whether Yan Fangyu is worth so much or not. It’s actually about if Miss. Lu wants her life or not.”

“Are you saying that Miss. Lu’s price is too low,” Chen Yuting asked.

“No. Her price is not low, but not high either. It’s just the right price. She knows that our Chief would accept it. If she asked for more, our Chief might give up on Yan Fangyu. After all, as a Deputy Chief, she barely made contributions to our base. We’ve done math based on the time she had served as Deputy Chief, and those rule-violating things she had done secretly. As a result, we can pay five level-six zombie nuclei for her at most. That’s the upper-limit. As for those seeds, someone just wants to give those away… eh-hem.” Xiao Licheng explained the connection between Yan Fangyu and those five zombie nuclei, and then glanced at Wu Chengyue with a meaningful look.

“Ah, I get it,” Chen Yuting glanced at Wu Chengyue as well, then suddenly figured out something.

…

Lin Qiao brought Wu Yueling to Mrs. Lin’s room; the door was open.

Seeing Lin Qiao show up with Wu Yueling, Lin Xiaolu, who was in the room, burst in a happy scream, “Wow! Ling Ling!”

She ran over delightedly. She wanted to hold Ling Ling’s hand, but didn’t do it, as she knew that Ling Ling didn’t like people touching her.

“Ling Ling, come over, we have strawberries!” Lin Xiaolu said to Ling Ling while running to the table and waving at her. Wu Yueling raised her head and looked at Lin Qiao.

Her Daddy said that without an eldership’s permission, she should not eat the food that other people gave her. Wu Chengyue wasn’t here, so she saw Lin Qiao as her eldership.

“Go ahead! You haven’t had those for quite a while, right?” Lin Qiao grinned at her, then dropped her hand to let her go to the table.

Wu Yueling nodded, then walked to Lin Xiaolu.

“How was the negotiation? Did he accept your condition?” Mrs. Lin sat on one side of the couch and asked curiously.

Lin Qiao put both hands together and shook. Along with her move, a large fluffy ball of fur appeared in her hands.

She slightly bent over and threw the rabbit to the ground, then answered the question, “Yeah. I didn’t ask for much. It’s just five level-six zombie nuclei. As for the seeds, he decided the number himself, not me.”
