“It’s not so easy to win our Chief’s heart. If Chief Wu doesn’t have ten times more patience than the others, he’ll have no hope,” Duan Juan abruptly started talking. Her words obviously had some hidden meanings.

Xiao Licheng detected it, so he looked at her curiously.

Did something happen to Miss Lu before? Why would it require ten times more patience to win her heart? Why did Duan Juan know so much about it? She seemed to know Miss Lu pretty well. They didn’t know each other before, did they?

Did she know some secrets that he hadn’t found out yet?

Xiao Licheng frowned slightly and then asked, “Why? I don’t think Miss Lu was once heartbroken… She was… Eh… No one could tell if she ever fell for any man or not.”

Only the people with broken hearts would seal themselves up. If she needed ten times more patience to open herself up to someone, she must have suffered deep harm in a relationship.

Based on what Xiao Licheng had found, Lu Tianyu never really loved a man. She was with all kinds of men for survival and for her interests. Once she had a new target, she would soon leave the old one.

Duan Juan gave him a cold glance as she said, “Is Miss Lu still the same person as she used to be? Who doesn’t have a past that others don’t know about?”

Xiao Licheng didn’t know what to say.

Miss Lu was only twenty-four years old. Before the apocalypse, she was merely about eighteen, and was in the first year of her college. He had checked up her background. Not much about what she did before the apocalypse was found. Perhaps something happened to her back then? School-love couldn’t hurt her bone-deep, could it?

He was utterly confused by what Duan Juan said, but didn’t say anything else. After all, Duan Juan was Miss Lu’s assistance, so it was reasonable for her to know more about Miss Lu than he did.

At that moment, Duan Juan was thinking—?‘Even Yuan Tianxing has given up. Who can possibly be more patient than him?’

Wu Chengyue looked aggressive and persistent, but Duan Juan couldn’t tell how long he would keep trying. Besides, he didn’t know about Lin Qiao’s past yet.

In fact, Duan Juan wished that Wu Chengyue would be able to win Lin Qiao’s heart. She could tell that he liked her for real. He had some other purposes at first, but he never intended to hurt Lin Qiao. Besides, he had told her about his purpose frankly, and didn’t try to lie to her.

Lin Qiao felt repulsion toward Wu Chengyue’s pursuit, so she ignored that.

“Eh, that’s their business. No matter which one of them gives up the first, neither of them would lose anything. Besides, they don’t have much time for that right now. I heard that the people from Huaxia Base and the other bases are arriving at Sea City Base. Isn’t your Chief going back to your base yet?” Lin Hao waved a hand and joined the conversation with a relaxed tone.

Xiao Licheng looked at him and thought for a moment, then wore a weird expression.

‘Isn’t this man Chief’s rival in love? Was he speaking for Chief? Did he misunderstand something?’

Duan Juan nodded, then looked into the room as she thought briefly and said, “So, we need to figure out a way to bring Ling Ling out of this room, right? He can’t leave her here alone.”

Lin Hao nodded and said, “That’s right. So, I asked our Chief to come here and give it a try. Perhaps, she can make her feel better.”

“I think those people will arrive at Sea City Base tomorrow afternoon. Our Chief needs to be there before that,” Xiao Licheng nodded and said.

Wu Chengyue wanted to get his daughter out of the room because he needed to head back to his own base. Lin Qiao was trying her best to help him because she wanted him to leave as soon as possible. While the two of them were making that effort, a group of hunters crawled out of a collapsing underground cave in Ningbo City.

A tall and slim girl was lying by the entrance of the hole. She first grasped a rock before her, then turned and reached her other hand backward.

She didn’t say anything. The person behind her held her hands and crawled outward with her help.

Soon, about eight people crawled out of the hole, covered in dirt. standing nearby as they quietly watched the large pit that was over ten meters in radius. At the bottom of it was a building that had fallen right at the huge entrance of the cave.

Qin Yu squatted. Her face was a little pale, and her eyes wore a painful look.

“Let’s go! Let’s go back to the base and tell people what happened here. We can’t defeat those things down there. If they run up here, we won’t be able to stop them,” A man stood beside Qin Yu said frustratedly. His eyes were red, but he clenched his teeth to keep himself calm.

Hunting was a life-risking business. Every time their teammates died, they had no choice but to adjust their own mindsets as soon as possible. Panic and sadness would weaken them and mislead their decisions. If that happened, they would be in danger as well.

This time, about twenty of them left the base together, but only seven or eight of them were still alive.

They blew that building up to seal the underground cave.

No traces of zombies were seen near the pit, which was the center of a city. It was crowded, so a lot of zombies should be seen there reasonably.

Those hunters arrived at this place but found no zombies, feeling strange about it. Then, they found a hole that seemed to have collapsed. In there, it was all dark, and they didn’t know what was inside.

When the hunters found something strange, they would carefully try to find out what it was, then bring their discoveries back to the base and trade for credits.

Qin Yu and her people went into the hole and found some strange tunnels. The further they went down, the more tunnels they saw. Those tunnels looked like the ones created by rats, except they were a lot bigger, big enough for adults to walk through them.

After a short walk, they ran into some weird creatures. Those creatures were highly aggressive, covered in strong cuticle and swift. Those hunters couldn’t even see them clearly when they darted out.

Those creatures caught some hunters and quickly dragged them into darkness, leaving behind a series of screams that soon faded away.
