Ye Yingyue didn't mind Lin Qiao's language as she smilingly shook her head and said, "No, Miss. Lu! You may not know, but one of our chairmen is a zombie. If it weren't for her, our base would never have been built up. We have a lot of zombies in our base. They used to be patients. They... all had mental problems before. But, after turning into zombies, they had much clearer minds."
"As same as your base, we don't have many humans in our base." At that time, Lei Cheng, who was staying silent the whole time, joined the conversation.
Lin Qiao understood what he meant. Green Mountain Base had a lot of zombies, but only a small population of humans. The human beings weren't able to survive on their own. They were far away from the other bases, and the natural environment was awful. It was impossible for them to escape from that place and seek help from other bases.
They had no choice but to work with zombies to survive.
With a faint smile, Lin Qiao said, "Your drug is very good, but in fact, we don't need it here. We have our own way of keeping zombies away from us."
Leng Xuantong made a large amount of disguising drug with a small amount of Lin Qiao's blood, which was able to cover the scents of humans. Not to mention the ordinary zombies, even the zombies above level-six wouldn't approach a person who was wearing the disguising drug.
With their drug, Green Mountain Base people would be able to make great deals with any other base. However, their drug wasn't so useful for Lin Qiao.
Both Ye Yingyue and Lei Cheng looked stunned, their eyes showing confusion.
They didn't expect to hear that All Beings Base had actually developed their own drug to keep zombies away. They were so confident, but they now felt as if they were slapped right on the face. They two of them couldn't react within a short time.
If All Being Base wasn't interested in the drug, the deal wouldn't be made.
Seeing the look on their faces, Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Even though I'm not interested in your drug, I can still fix the faces of a small part of your zombies. So, your base will owe me a big favor. When I need help in the future, you have to help me once."
Hearing that, both Ye Yingyue and Lei Cheng had their eyes glowing immediately. That terms might put their base into a disadvantage, yet they still couldn't say no.
The two of them made eye-contact, then Lei Cheng did the talking."We need to talk to our leaders about this. Miss. Lu, will you be keeping your word?"
Lin Qiao kept the smile on her face as she said, "I'm a base leader after all! The awful things such as swallowing my own words... I can't do them. It's alright! You can take all the time you need to discuss it with your people. If you find my offer okay, just bring the zombies whose faces need to be fixed here, because the treatment can only take place in our base, and it will take some time."
"No problem!" Ye Yingyue and Lei Cheng nodded delightfully.
Soon, Green Mountain Base people left, and Lin Qiao's pace finally quieted down.
No, that actually did not happen.
Lin Qiao speechlessly glanced at the two men who were staring at each other in her office, then turned back to the files on her desk and said, "Are you two practicing how to stare at people? If you have something to say, just say it. If you have nothing to say, the door is over there."
Lin Hao looked straight into Wu Chengyue's expressionless eyes and said, "I'm here to observe Chief's body condition. I'm a doctor, and this is my duty. Chief Wu, why are you staying in my Chief's office and bothering her all the time?"
His words showed an obvious hostility toward Wu Chengyue.
Wu Chengyue did not have his standard smile at that moment. He said with an expressionless face, "I surely have something serious to say to your Chief. That has nothing to do with any doctor. Doctor Lin, you have seen and observed her. Miss. Lu seems to be fine. I think you can leave now. See you!"
Lin Hao didn't know how to respond at first. However, he didn't plan to give up just like that. He gave a cold smile and said, "I can't leave. My Chief needs to be observed closely. I'll surely stay by her side to make sure that no accidents can happen."
"Doctor Lin, I noticed that you were busy in the medical department, " said Wu Chengyue, "Are you going to leave your work there? That's not good, is it?"
"Thank you! I don't need the leader of another base telling me how to do my job. Staying with my Chief to observe her body condition is also my job." Lin Hao leaned against the back of the couch and folded his arms before his chest. With a proud smile, he looked at Wu Chengyue in the eyes as he slightly raised his chin in a provoking way.
Wu Chengyue raised his eyebrows and prepared to say something. However, Lin Qiao didn't let him.
"Alright, you two! I can't even do my work. Get out!" Lin Qiao joined the conversation with a cold voice. She couldn't even bear watching how childishly the two men were acting at that moment!
"I'll leave if he leaves!" Lin Hao glanced at Wu Chengyue and said. He was a little unhappy as his sister had asked him to leave.
Wu Chengyue's expressionless face now wore a smile."I'm here for something serious! Chief Lu, it's getting warm, and our zombie hunters have started to leave the base. We need to divide our hunting fields, right?"
Lin Hao found Wu Chengyue's smile extremely annoying! However, that was indeed a serious affair, and he really could not get into it. He snorted coldly, then stood up and left with a sour face.
If Wu Chengyue hadn't been following his sister everywhere, he would not come here to argue with him!
As Lin Hao left with anger, Wu Chengyue smiled a bigger smile. Clearly, he was getting a little complacent.
Lin Qiao rolled her eyes and said blandly, "Do you need to handle that yourself? Talk to Lin Feng about it. It's not my job now."
Wu Chengyue looked at her and said with a grin, "You're the chief, aren't you? Why are you letting your subordinates do that kind of work? Aren't you afraid that they might fail the job?"
'He is my subordinate indeed, but he is also my big brother. I know how capable my big brother is, much better than you do?!' Lin Qiao said in her head while keeping that bland look and responding, "I believe in his capabilities. It's not a big deal."
"Do you really not want to see me so much?" A wounded look escaped Wu Chengyue's eyes. He soon hid it away though, yet the smile on his face turned a little bitter.
Nevertheless, he got rid of the bitterness quickly. Then, his smile turned cold, eyes glowing dimly as he continued, "Or, do you prefer to be with Doctor Lin?" he said with a frosty voice.
