At night, Xie Dong sent the news back to Lin Qiao: all hostages were rescued, and all enemies were killed.
“Did anyone get away?” Lin Qiao looked at the level-four wind-powered zombie before her and asked.
The zombie was one of the first batch of zombies that she put under Xie Dong’s command, and also the fastest one. Xie Dong always sent him to deliver the message when he couldn’t do it by himself.
The zombie shook his head: no one had escaped.
Lin Qiao nodded and said, “Good! You can go.”
She didn’t need to say anything else. Xie Dong was a senior leader of the zombie army, and he clearly knew about how to tidy the battlefield and collect trophies after the war.
Hearing the order, the zombie quickly turned and left Lin Qiao’s office.
“Mama, I’m hungry!” Once the zombie left, Teng, who was lying on the couch, made his soft voice sound.
Lin Qiao gave him a glance impatiently and said, “You had a bowl of milk an hour ago! Why are you hungry again?”
Teng responded, also impatiently, “I am hungry! My digestion is working very well! I am a baby!”
Lin Qiao looked at him and said, “Have you seen a baby who can talk once he was born? You are tiny, but you are not like a baby!”
Hearing her call him tiny, Teng exploded immediately, “I’m not tiny! I will soon grow up! I’m still developing! Can’t you see me as a normal baby? I’m still a little baby… Ahhhhh!”
Through the past week, Teng had grown into a white and chubby baby, and his voice had grown louder and stronger. Unlike before, he didn’t need to rest after saying a long phrase anymore. He even had the strength to cry very loudly.
Lin Qiao hurriedly reached out her hands to stop him. “Alright, alright! I get it! Don’t attack me with your terrifying baby-cry! Viney, you’ve changed since you became a boy! You are no longer the adorable Viney!”
Once she said that, Teng burst in louder cries. “Ahhhhhh! Mama! Can’t you call me by my current name! Don’t call me Viney again! That name is so annoying!”
Lin Qiao rolled her eyes and responded, “I’m used to calling you by that name. It’s not so easy to change it. What can I possibly do? That’s not my fault.”
“Whose fault is it then? Mine?” Teng said angrily, “It has been so many days! You should be able to change it by now!”
“Hey, are you guys having a fight again?” Another voice was suddenly heard from the door of Lin Qiao’s office. “Why are you guys fighting all the time?” That voice laughed at Lin Qiao and the baby.
Lin Qiao looked at Lin Hao, who was walking in, then pointed at her son and said, “He’s changed. He’s not the Viney that I know. The real Viney might have been swapped out already!”
“Hah!” Lin Hao burst in laughter. Which mom would say something like that about her newborn baby?
“Uncle, I think my Mom isn’t my Mom! She doesn’t love me anymore! I might be a child that she found by the street!” Teng turned around on the couch and lay on his stomach as he argued against his mother.
“I’m glad that you’re here. He just told me that he’s hungry. Feed him. I’m in the middle of something here!” Lin Qiao pointed at the vacuum cup on the tea table and said to Lin Hao.
Teng was strongly against nursing bottles and anything else like that, so Lin Qiao had to feed him with a spoon and a small bowl, which was very inconvenient. What was even worse, the baby wouldn’t let anyone else but his mother and uncles feed him!
Duan Juan, Shen Yujen, and the others were allowed to hold him, but not feed him. No one knew why!
Lin Qiao always complained about it in her head.
Lin Hao walked over as he took off his white coat and threw it to the side, then sat down on the couch. He opened the vacuum cup and poured some milk into the small bowl on the table. After that, he held Teng, who was crawling on the couch like a turtle, in his arms.
While feeding the baby, Lin Hao asked Lin Qiao, “I heard that some Sky Fire Base men are out here these days. How are things going?”
Earlier that afternoon, quite a few injured men were sent into the medical department. Most of their injuries were caused by bullets and superpower attacks.
Lin Qiao was still reading a report from the farm. Without raising her head, she replied, “Xie Dong has dealt with it. However, that was only a tentative move from Sky Fire Base. It’s not over yet.”
“Are you going to wait for them to come here and then finish them off? Batch by batch?” Lin Hao asked.
“What I’m more worried about are those underground creatures,” said Lin Qiao, “Before coming up with an efficient way to deal with those creatures, do you think I can leave this place to attack Sky Fire Base, which is over a thousand miles away?”
“That’s true!” Lin Hao nodded and said, “Those creatures are so close to us. If you and the zombie army left, they might come out and cause trouble.”
Lin Qiao didn’t say anything else.

Qin Yu woke up to find herself lying in a room that looked like a hospital ward. She supported her body with her arms and sat up. The pain coming from her arm made her lower her head and glance at herself. Her wound was wrapped up and her coat taken off, hanging on the back of the chair nearby.
At that moment, the door was open. A tall and slim woman who was wearing sunglasses, walked over.
“Who are you? Where is this place?” Qin Yu looked at her. She was vigilant against that woman, but she didn’t show that on her face.
The woman walked in and pulled over the chair before sitting down. Then, she took out a notebook and a pen, and started writing.
Qin Yu watched her movements with confusion. She didn’t understand why the woman didn’t talk but write.
The woman quickly wrote down a line, then raised the notebook and showed it to Qin Yu.
‘Hi, I am Yan Xiao. You are in the medical department of All Beings Base.’
Reading Yan Xiao’s note, Qin Yu sighed slightly with relief, but still looked at her with confusion, wondering why didn’t she talk. Yan Xiao seemed to have figured out what she was thinking. ‘I’m sorry. My throat is broken, so I can’t talk,’ she quickly wrote down another line.
“Ah, I see. Did you save me?” Qin Yu nodded knowingly and then asked her.
She wanted to know if it was Yan Xiao who saved her and brought her back to the base. The last thing she could remember was that pitch dark screening room.
Yan Xiao nodded.
“Thank you!” Qin Yu thanked her sincerely, but then stared at Yan Xiao alertly and asked, “But… I remember that I passed out in a very secret place. It should be pretty hard for you to find me. How did you…”
She was highly vigilant, not because she suspected Yan Xiao, but because every zombie hunter was required to stay alert in order to survive.
She didn’t believe that Yan Xiao just happened to spot her. That corner in the screening room was very hard to notice. No one should have found her unless he or she was looking for her on purpose.
