Not long after Liu Jun left, Xie Dong came into Lin Qiao’s office.

Lin Qiao dropped the file in her hands as she looked at him and said, “You two are in tune lately. Why do you always come to my office on the same day?”

Xie Dong paused briefly, then put a piece of paper on her desk without saying anything or wearing any expression.

Lin Qiao took over the piece of paper and browsed through it as she asked, “How are things going?”

“Chief Wu kept his tracks very secret. Those people thought he was still out there and going mad, not in the base. At first, they took a tough stance and tried to make Sea City Base give them the soil remedy. They said that it should be benefiting mankind instead of being hidden by the Sea City Base.”

Lin Qiao quickly ran over the report, then threw it on a pile of undone work.

“Are they trying to force Sea City Base to sell them the soil remedy? What did they offer?” She put both hands on the table as she raised her head and asked Xie Dong.

“Fifty-thousand sets of winter clothes, some personal cleansing products such as shampoo and shower gel… They’ve also offered some tools and devices, but not many,” Xie Dong gave some numbers and then added, “That’s not important though. The important thing is that the people they sent to Sea City Base secretly are planning on sneaking into the base to kidnap the researchers and get what they want from them.”

So, the deal and the offer they made were only distractions.

“They’re smart enough to target the scientists, but I’m afraid that they’ll be disappointed. Even if they manage to kidnap some researchers, they wouldn’t get what they want,” Lin Qiao dropped her eyes and gave a sneer.

Xie Dong looked at her silently.

“So?” Lin Qiao asked, “Were they kidnapped yet?”

She had the answer to that question actually. Wu Chengyue was back in his base, so he surely wouldn’t let those people do what they wanted. He wasn’t stupid. He didn’t become a leader of such a large base for nothing.

“No. Those people didn’t even get the chance to get further into Sea City Base. They were brought under control as suspicious people once they got in. Huaxia Base people couldn’t admit that those people were working for them. So, their mission has stopped,” said Xie Dong.

Lin Qiao had guessed that out. As Xie Dong finished talking, she looked at him and changed the topic, “What’s going on between you and Liu Jun? Do you like her?” she said curiously.

As same as Liu Jun, Xie Dong was stunned a little upon hearing what Lin Qiao said. He raised his head and looked at Lin Qiao with confusion.

Lin Qiao silently looked at him with glowing eyes, waiting for his answer.

Xie Dong spent a few seconds looking back at her in the eyes, then turned away. His masculine face was pale as usual. However, at that moment, Lin Qiao sensed with surprise that his energy seemed to be surging toward his face.

Was that how zombies blushed?

Clearly, he liked her! He was a zombie. Even though he surely could still fall in love, what about his body? Was his body still functional? Lin Qiao was curious about that. Reasonably speaking, his organs should have died because he was a zombie…

If his body was no longer functional, he and Liujun could only be soulmates. Well, that would be nice too. Having someone to rely on would always be better than being alone and empty.

Xie Dong noticed that the look in Lin Qiao’s eyes was growing weirder and weirder. Also, why was she looking at his crotch area?

He could barely stay calm and expressionless. His Chief must have been having some strange thoughts!

To keep the look in Lin Qiao’s eyes from turning even stranger, Xie Dong hurriedly said, “I think it’s hard for her to raise her son alone.”

Liu Jun was a commoner. Protecting herself was exhausting enough for her, yet she needed to protect her son too. At last, she was abandoned by a heartless man and turned into a zombie. After that, she still tried to guard her son.

When Xie Dong first heard about her story, he wished the woman that he fell for could be like her.

As he saw Liu Jun more and more, he slowly forgot about that woman. He never showed his feelings on his face, but he would always pay more attention to her.

Lin Qiao heard his words and sensed his feelings. It seemed that he intended to protect Liu Jun and her son.

“Yeah? I can see that you mean it. Congratulations for letting the past go and embracing the future. You two can be the first zombie couple. Em… I’m curious that… have been having that kind of desire toward her?” Lin Qiao asked her question straightforwardly. The light shown out of her eyes almost blinded Xie Dong.

Hearing her question and seeing the look on her face, Xie Dong wanted very much to cover his face with his hands.

‘Chief, have you forgotten that you’re a woman? Don’t you feel it’s a little weird for you to ask a man a question like that?’

“Eh-hem, I’m just curious, curious, haha… Alright, you are free to leave,” Lin Qiao noticed how embarrassed Xie Dong was, so she finally decided to let him go. On her word, Xie Dong swiftly ran out of her office as if a ghost was chasing him.

“I think Lin Hao will be more curious about that than me,” Lin Qiao watched him leave and murmured to herself. She pictured the two of them together in her head, and the result was beautiful.

Xie Dong was tall and strong. He didn’t have a pretty face, but he was manly and handsome indeed. He was reliable, careful, and decent. He was betrayed a couple of times, but that didn’t turn him into a worse person.

Liu Jun was good-looking, with a nicely shaped body. She had had a son, but giving birth didn’t seem to make her less pretty. She was a little skinny though, and had a gentle and warm soul.

She and Xie Dong should be able to live a great life together.

However, judging by Liu Jun’s reaction, Lin Qiao figured that Xie Dong would have a long way to go to win her heart.

After leaving Lin Qiao’s office, Xie Dong sniffed around for Liu Jun’s scent, then followed it to the farm. Just now, after hearing Lin Qiao mentioned Liu Jun, he suddenly missed her. He wanted to see that warm and gentle zombie lady who was strong on the inside.

Not long after Liu Jun returned to the cabin in the farm, she sensed Xie Dong’s scent.

“Eh? What are you doing here? Can I help you?” With surprise, she looked at Xie Dong who was standing before the door of the cabin. Most of the times, they saw each other in Lin Qiao’s office or in the administration building. It was the first time he came to the farm.

He looked around and said, “I came here to take a look.”

Then, he unwittingly glanced into the door behind Liu Jun.

Realizing who he might be looking for, Liu Jun smiled and said, “Normally, Tongtong stays in Wangxue’s place with Xiaolu during the day time. It’s inconvenient for him to come here at the moment.”

The farm wasn’t a safe place for a human boy. After all, zombies were all over the place. Those zombies were all well trained and able to control themselves, but being careful would do no harm nonetheless.
