Chapter 1330: Are You Serious?
Xie Dong had been promoted to Deputy Head of the secret army. anwhile, the Head was, of course, his Chief. Xie Dong was currently serving almost as a Deputy Chief of Base Number Two. Including Yun ng and Qiu Lili, All Beings Base now had five Deputy Chiefs in total. The people from the other base didn’t know about that though. In their eyes, Lin Qiao was the sole leader of All Beings Base, and under her command were Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing, the only two Deputy Chiefs.
“I guess the underground space is indeed very dangerous, or Chief wouldn’t have put you all in here,” Yuan Tianxing pondered upon Lin Qiao’s arrangent and then roughly figured out about the outside situation.
So, that underground space might be the base camp of all underground creatures. Based on the power of the ones that had already gone to the earth’s surface, Yuan Tianxing figured there might be even stronger ones staying underground in their nests.
Feng Mingyu poured him a glass of water and walked to him as he said, “It’s indeed not safe out there. The underground mutated plants are more aggressive than the ones on the earth’s surface. The air underground isn’t safe for humans either. The air there is filled with the energy that invaded your body. It has gathered into a thick layer, floating right on top of the space.”
Yuan Tianxing took over the water and nodded.
At that ti, Lin Qiao and her zombies were all watching the cat make all kinds of gestures.
“So, is it trying to tell you that it doesn’t know why that big boss sent it out of this place?” People squatted on trees as they spent a while watching the red cat’s movents and reached a conclusion.
Lin Qiao looked at the cat and asked, “You don’t know why it sent you to the earth’s surface, do you?”
The cat imdiately sat down and propped its upper body up with a pair of forepaws while nodding.
Lin Qiao glanced at the others and dropped her head to think for a mont, “It ordered them to go out, but didn’t tell them what to do. Does it want them to do whatever they want up there? That’s what they’ve been doing so far.”
At that mont, she stopped short and said, “You guys stay here.”
After saying that, she flashed into her space and showed up right before the door of Yuan Tianxing’s room. After knocking on that door, she said to everyone in that room, “Are you guys in there?”
On hearing her voice, all the people in the room turned to the door while automatically stepping to both sides.
Lin Qiao walked in. While walking, she first observed Yuan Tianxing’s face and narrowed her eyes to look into his body. After that, she said, “So of that energy is still lingering in your chest and shoulder area. You better stay on that bed.”
“Yes ma’am,” Yuan Tianxing looked at her and nodded with a smile, “I owe you another one. How many tis have you saved my life?”
Lin Qiao shrugged as she tilted her head and said, “Don’t ntion it. If you did the counting, you’d know that you might need to spend more than three lifetis to pay back. But this ti, I didn’t save your life by myself. Wenwen is the one who did most of the job.”
Speaking of that, she gave the others a glance. Receiving her signal, Lin Yu and all the others all knowingly stepped out of the door.
“Speaking of the people who owe Chief a life, I’m one of them,” Lin Yu murmured after closing that door.
That ti, he truly thought he was going to die. He survived in the end, but his sister had gone missing. He never found her, not among the captives rescued from Earth Dragon Base, Hidden Cloud City Base, or Sky Fire Base. He didn’t even know if she were still alive.
In the room, Yuan Tianxing looked at Lin Qiao and asked her with curiosity, “Where on earth had Wenwen been? And, how co she managed to bring back the exact plant that could save my life?”
Lin Wenwen pulled over a chair and sat down in front of Yuan Tianxing, a ter from the bed. Then, she folded her arms and leaned against the back of the chair while speaking, “That wasn’t a coincidence. Did you forget about her second superpower? She foresees the future. She knew the plant would be helpful for us. If you want to know where she had been, well, you may not even believe this. She traveled back to seven years ago… like a ti traveler. How magical was that!”
“What? Back to seven years ago?” As Lin Qiao expected, Yuan Tianxing slightly popped his eyes in a shocked look.
Did he mishear? Did Lin Qiao say it in the wrong way? However, she emphasized that Lin Wenwen went to the past like a ti traveler. It didn’t sound like a joke. But that was so… unscientific.
“Are you serious?” Yuan Tianxing looked at her, stunned.
Lin Qiao found the look on his face rather adorable. Yuan Tianxing wasn’t a baby-faced man, but he was a man who liked to smile. He had been a composed person, and his eyes were normally narrowed slightly. He rarely popped those eyes. Even when he was angry, those eyes of his usually remained narrowed, staring at the person who made him unhappy like a pair of daggers.
Lin Qiao had known him for a very long ti, but she hardly ever saw him widen his eyes in surprise or bewildernt. Seeing that look of disbelief on his face, she pointed at herself and said while raising her brows, “I’m serious. I am.”
Yuan Tianxing didn’t know how to respond to that.
That was right. She died once and then got a new body, becoming soone else!
The look on Yuan Tianxing’s face made Lin Qiao laugh. She folded her arms again and said, “Everyone reacted the sa way. I haven’t seen you with this kind of look for a long ti. Anyhow, this ti, Wenwen foresaw the future and brought the herb back from the past and saved your life with it. How are you gonna thank her for that?”
It was the second ti Yuan Tianxing heard that question. He helplessly looked at Lin Qiao and said, “How about I give her my life? But, how am I gonna pay you back for saving my life so many tis?”
Lin Qiao imdiately raised a hand and said, “Oh, you don’t need to pay back. You can’t afford to do that anyway. Just look after Wenwen!”
“I surely will,” Yuan Tianxing gave her a glance with discontentnt. Was he a heartless person? He owed it to her, so he would certainly try his best to pay her back. Lin Qiao made it sound like he was an ungrateful person.
He followed Lin Qiao after the apocalypse, not only because he liked her, but also because she once went against the order and saved his life by risking her own. That happened during a mission they carried out together before the apocalypse.
That was also the reason why he gradually fell in love with her. He loved her, but she only saw him as a friend, a brother, a comrade, without having any other feelings toward him.
