Lin Qiao was the highest leader of the base, so it was difficult for Zuo Chen to get close to her. To do that, the first thing he needed to do was to find himself an administrative job, and then reach the Chief.
That night, Liu Wan and two level-five men ambushed in Duan Juan's room. However, she didn't come back. The next night, she still didn't show up. Only until the third day did Liu Wan receive a message about her.
"What? She left the base for a mission? Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Receiving the message, Liu Wan nearly exploded. He and his men were hiding in Duan Juan's room for three days, but it turned out that she wasn't even in the base all this time.
"We didn't know until today! We don't know why but we didn't see her leave!" His subordinates were confused as well.
"It's okay!" Another man in the room comforted Liu Wan, "Although we didn't get Duan Juan, our people are doing well with Liu Jun and Lin Wenwen."
Hearing that, Liu Wan slightly eased the angry look on his face."Have they found anything yet? The Chief lady shows up in the medical department every day, but I heard that she herself is fine. I think she's not there to see the doctor for herself, but visit someone."
The others understood that he was trying to point out the Chief lady was in a close relationship with Doctor Lin.
"I think so. No wonder she's been keeping a distance from Wu Chengyue, " said another man.
"In this case, why don't we let Zuo Chen get injured on his way back from the supply-collecting trip, and then send him to the medical department. In that way, he'll at least have a chance to talk to her."
"You're right. Since she likes to go to the medical department, Zuo Chen can start from there."
The people in the room excitedly talked about their new plan, believing that it was a perfect plan. Little did they know that an invisible creature had been standing in a corner all the long.
Only after those men left did Yun Meng sneak out of Duan Juan's room, show her face, and head straight to Lin Qiao's office. Her chameleon ability was so handy when it came to spying.
Meanwhile, Xie Dong had received some messages from Huaxia Base.
"People will always do something like this for survival. After the apocalypse, power is the only discipline. The strongest one gets the best resources, " Lin Qiao said blandly after hearing from Xie Dong that Huaxia Base prepared to join hands with the other bases to force Sea City Base to make deals with them, and that Huaxia Base had also been coveting the soil remedy.
She had foreseen that. After all, human beings would do everything to survive.
Hopefully, the other bases would peacefully purchase food from Sea City Base. If they dared to do anything unwanted, All Beings Base would not let Sea City Base fall in a bad situation. After all, All Beings Base and Sea City Base were partners now. If anything happened to Sea City Base, All Beings Base's secret would soon be exposed.
Huaxia Base possessed mature technologies, and were able to produce many supplies. Sea City Base had also been making progress on technologies, but had not achieved a result that was as good as Huaxia Base.
"When will they be in Sea City Base?" Lin Qiao asked.
"Huaxia Base leaders are still running discussions with the leaders of the other bases. There's not a fixed time yet, " said Xie Dong.
"I get it. Keep an eye on them, " Lin Qiao nodded and said.
Xie Dong nodded and left, soon after which Yun Meng knocked on the door and came in.
"How's it going? How are they planning on approaching me?" Lin Qiao glanced at her, then asked while browsing a file.
"They noticed that you go to the medical department frequently, so they think you're close with Doctor Lin. Zuo Chen is gonna get himself hurt and get into the medical department, then find a chance to talk to you. Well, these old tricks over and over again... nothing new!" Yun Meng sat down before Lin Qiao's desk and said with disappointment.
"You think so because we've seen through their plan long ago. If we didn't know, we might still fall into their trap. Isn't that right?" Lin Qiao smiled.
Didn't Yuan Tianxing fall into Lu Tong's trap? Lu Tong wasn't super capable, but was smart enough to make Yuan Tianxing believe that he was a vulnerable and kind person.
He was good at pretending. If Lin Wenwen didn't find out the truth, Yuan Tianxing would have ended up being 'slept' by him, wouldn't he?
Yun Meng pondered over Lin Qiao's words and then nodded in agreement, "You're right. Huo has been trying to get close to Liu Jun all the time, talking to her about the farm. But in the meanwhile, he has also been asking questions about you in an indirect way. You're too mysterious in their eyes."
Lin Qiao shrugged and replied, "I have to be mysterious. If they found out that I'm a zombie, they'd freak out and then go out to convince the whole world to be against me."
"But, that man is a little strange, " Yun Meng added, "You see, he has already been bought out by Liu Wan and his people. In fact, he knows quite a lot about the farm, but never told a word to those people? Why? He only told them what he knows about you, and nothing else. He strictly sticks with the deal he made with Liu Wan."
Lin Qiao looked at Yun Meng, then shook her head and said, "How am I supposed to know why? Maybe he has his own measurement."
In the eyes of most people in All Beings Base, Wu Chengyue was again spending his time in All Beings Base. This time, he wasn't following their pretty Chief lady everywhere, but seemed to keep a subtle distance from her. However, the Chief lady was in a close relationship with Doctor Lin. A weird love-triangle atmosphere was sensed from those three people.
The people who knew about Lin Qiao's true identity were very speechless about that.
"You see, why is our Chief having her eyes on Doctor Lin instead of the handsome, gentle and powerful Chief Wu? Doctor Lin is good-looking too, but he's far weaker than Chief Wu. I kinda feel that he's not good enough for our Chief..." In the canteen, Huo Antong said to Liu Jun jokingly.
Liu Jun gave him a sideways glance while feeding her son, then responded blandly, "That's Chief's business. What does it have to do with you?"
Recently, many All Being Base people talked about the same thing in their free time. However, Liu Jun clearly knew that unlike those people, Huo Antong was deliberately bringing up a topic about Lin Qiao so that he could learn something about her.
As she thought, Huo Antong continued with, "Our Chief is so young and pretty and powerful. I don't think she'll fall for someone like Doctor Lin. Is there any other type that she likes? I feel that she's with Doctor Lin only because she wants to make Chief Wu give up."
Liu Jun narrowed her eyes slightly. Her long and curly eyelashes covered the look in her eyes as she blinked and said, "Why do you care so much? Do you have your eyes on Chief too?"
Huo Antong paused briefly, then hurriedly shook his head and said, "Oh, no, no... Our Chief is someone that can only be appreciated from a distance but not... Eh, well, I mean, she's a powerful person who deserves all the respect. I admire her."
