Chapter 1077: Show Off the Sweetness

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Two years ago, Huaxia Base had secretly sent some special forces out of the country. But, none of those soldiers were seen coming back during the past two years. Only a small number of them kept in contact with their base.
Wu Chengyue looked at her and asked, “Let’s not talk about Huaxia Base just yet. Have you found anything down in the cave?”
Lin Qiao glanced at him, then stood up and walked behind her desk. She sat down there and put the file on the desk, then looked at the things there.
Her stuff wasn’t touched. Wu Chengyue didn’t seem to be interested in her work.
“I visited a lot of tunnels and killed quite some low-leveled underground creatures,” she shrugged and said.
Wu Chengyue kept looking at her with a faint smile on his face. He fixed his eyes on her face peacefully as he said, “No interesting things happened?”
Lin Qiao raised her eyes and folded her arms, leaning against the back of the chair as she responded, “It was all dark down there. What interesting thing could possibly happen? There was nothing down there.”
“Didn’t you find that level-eight creature?” Wu Chengyue asked.
Lin Qiao nodded and said, “I found him. I kicked his ass. I guess your lightning injured him pretty severely before. He’s weak now.”
Thinking about how the big guy was stuck in the tunnel, Lin Qiao wanted to even laugh. If his mind was clear enough, he would have broken the cave wall with his claws and freed himself. She wondered why the big guy was so blur-minded back then.
“Oh, I also found these in the cave,” Lin Qiao took out a small piece of those mysterious roots, with two lumps attached to it.
“I think they’re afraid of this plant. This is what we’ve been looking for. When you break these lumps, some kind of gas will be released which is poisonous for them. Some of them died with their eyes, mouths, noses, and ears bleeding after inhaling the gas,” Lin Qiao put the root on the desk.
Wu Chengyue stood up and walked up to the desk. Standing behind it, he rested a hand on the desk and slightly bent over to look at the root.
It looked like a piece of root growing in the soil, and was still covered in dirt.
At that moment, footsteps were heard from the outside before Shen Yujen and Duan Juan showed up at the door. Shen Yujen was holding a stack of file while Duan Juan raised a hand to knock on the door.
As the two in the office both turned to look at them, Duan Juan and Shen Yujen walked in.
Then, they both looked at Lin Qiao silently from head to toe, with weird looks on their faces.
Seeing the look on their faces, Lin Qiao figured that they might have heard about her new pet.
“What’s wrong? Have I turned into someone else?” She smiled at them and asked.
“I heard the big one is now your pet?” said Duan Juan, “You made a trip down there and now you have a new pet! How did you do that?”
Before Lin Qiao responded, Shen Yujen joined the conversation, “They asked you to bring a few of them back for experiments. Are you gonna use the big one for experiment? It’s not safe, is it?”
Hearing their words, Wu Chengyue stared straight at Lin Qiao with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Wait! What had he just heard? Didn’t the zombie lady say she kicked the big one’s ass? How come he’s her pet now?
Wu Chengyue’s eyes were filled with question marks.
The lady grew a new hobby about having pets after she turned into a zombie, right? He never heard the leader of Hades Base having any pets.
Lin Qiao glanced at them and said, “I was going to use him for experiments. His energy is just enough for me to break into a new level.”
Speaking of that, she gave Wu Chengyue a quick glance, believing that he had already discovered that.
Hearing her words, Duan Juan and Shen Yujen both paused briefly with surprise, then said to her delightedly, “So, are you planning to kill it later when you need energy?”
Lin Qiao waved her hands and said, “No. Let me finish. He begged me to spare his life. He’s like a dog. He almost let out his tongue and wagged his tail to please me. I thought about it, and it seems that it’s gonna be a good thing if he can voluntarily stop his herd from attacking out base. In that case, we can save the trouble to find out a way to stop them.”
There were only a few scientific researchers in her base, and they already had too much work to do. Currently, Leng Xuantong might even be wishing he could have multiple heads, eyes, and hands, just so he could do more work.
“So, you made it your pet?” Wu Chengyue looked at her and said with surprise. Did the creature come to her and ask to be her pet? Was it pretending?
Last time, the creature attacked him with a weird light and then took the opportunity to run. Wu Chengyue found the big one quite sneaky. Besides, that mysterious light was very dangerous.
He had no idea that Strong’s mysterious light was his life-saving skill. After using it, he would need a very long time to recover from the energy consumption.
Lin Qiao shrugged and said, “Yeah. If he misbehaves, you can give him a bigger lightning strike. I think he’s afraid of you.”
Wu Chengyue didn’t know what to say. So, he needed to help her overawe the big guy.
Was she tending to rely on him already? At least, she wasn’t planning to handle the whole thing all by herself anymore. Was she finally willing to consider him a part of her life?
Thinking about that, Wu Chengyue smiled widely. “Alright. As long as it has the courage to come out.”..
Lin Qiao heard herself and found her words being a little weird. She then turned to Duan Juan and Shen Yujen, seeing the two wearing a mysterious smile on their faces.
All in all, the atmosphere suddenly turned a little strange.
‘Okay, so they’re on good terms now. I’m not jealous of them,’ Duan Juan thought.
‘They’re already showing off the sweetness. I guess Chief Wu will get married soon,‘ Shen Yujen thought.
Lin Qiao looked at Shen Yujen as she pointed at the files in her hands and said, “How long are you gonna hold those? Aren’t you giving them to me?”
Hearing that, Shen Yujen realized that the files were still in her hands, so she hurriedly walked to Lin Qiao and put them onto the desk.
Meanwhile, Lin Qiao said, “Go and tell the research department to pause the study about the underground creatures. I still have about ten of them alive in my space, and I’ll keep them. In the future, I’ll send them to the lab for the study if it’s necessary. Tell Leng Xuantong to first find out a way to extract the energy from the stone.”
After a short pause, she continued, “And, send people to bring these to Leng Xuantong. Tell him to find out what kind of plant this is.” While speaking, she threw all the roots she had collected in the area before her desk.
Boom!
“Yes, ma’am!” Shen Yujen nodded, then turned and left. Soon, she brought in two male soldiers and pointed at the roots on the floor.
As the soldiers moved the roots out, Shen Yujen left the office as well.
