Chapter 1412: Who’s More Patient

This time, Yun Meng figured that Lin Qiao might not come back anytime soon, because she could feel that Si Kongchen was staying right there, waiting for her. She thought for a moment and then decided to bring the news back to her base without Lin Qiao. In the meantime, she talked to Kong Qingming and asked him to bring the news back to Sea City Base.

Before long, both All Beings Base and Sea City Base received the news saying that Si Kongchen had already broken into level-nine. Only until then did Wu Chengyue learn that Lin Qiao had attempted to kill Si Kongchen alone and that she was now stuck in Huaxia Base.

“She has also blown up Si Kongchen’s arsenals? No wonder he is so angry that he doesn’t even bother to keep hiding his level-nine power,” Wu Chengyue looked at Kong Qingming, who brought the news to him, sighing.

Kong Qingming nodded and said, “How come you don’t look surprised at all?”

Wu Chengyue furrowed his brows slightly and said, “I’ve been guessing that maybe he’s already at level-nine. I wasn’t sure though. But now, because of her, everybody knows the answer. Hasn’t it ever occurred to her?”

He didn’t understand why Lin Qiao attempted to kill Si Kongchen alone. He thought the idea that Si Kongcheng might be at level-nine already had occurred to her as well.

Judging by Si Kongchen’s recent way of acting, he clearly possessed some kind of force, strong enough to allow him to ignore what all the others thought. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have started to show his hostility openly toward Sea City Base and All Beings Base.

He either had developed some kind of weapon powerful enough to destroy the whole world or brought his personal power into a whole new level. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to do that. As a sneaky man who liked playing dirty tricks, how could he ever act so arrogantly and aggressively without any solid power?

“So, what do we do now?” Kong Qingming looked at Wu Chengyue and asked seriously.

‘Boss, your wife is still trapped in Huaxia Base. Aren’t you going to go and rescue her? How come you act like this is no big deal?’ Kong Qingming thought.

“Don’t worry! Even though Si Kongchen has exposed his level-nine power, he won’t attack us right now. Didn’t you say that he’s waiting for those underground creatures to finish upgrading? I think he won’t make a move until then,” Wu Chengyue thought for a moment and said. As for how to deal with Si Kongchen, a level-nine superpower possessor, that was indeed a problem.

Kong Qingming looked at Wu Chengyue, feeling a little speechless. “I meant, aren’t you gonna find a way to rescue the Chief of All Beings Base?” he made his question clearer. He wasn’t asking Wu Chengyue about how to deal with Si Kongchen.

“Do I need to rescue her? She’s hiding in her base, isn’t she? Relax, she can handle that kind of situation! Don’t forget that this isn’t her first time facing a level-nine being. She’ll be safe, even though she might be stuck there for a while,” Wu Chengyue first glanced at Kong Qingming with confusion and then explained.

Kong Qingming sighed, “I think you’re about to lose your wife.”

‘You want to spend the rest of your life with her, so you should at least act like you’re worried about her safety, even if you believe that she can handle the situation by herself. How is she supposed to feel your concern if you don’t express it?‘ Kong Qingming didn’t understand why Wu Chengyue wasn’t worried about the zombie sister at all. ‘No wonder your relationship with her is getting nowhere even after you guys had a baby. I think you’re hopeless!’

While criticizing his boss in his head, Kong Qingming changed the topic, “So, do you know how to deal with Si Kongchen?”

That man was at level-nine now. Sea City Base currently had no power to resist level-nine attacks.

“Well, we don’t have a level-nine one on our side,” said Wu Chengyue, “But we can borrow one from Lan Lu.”

Kong Qingming figured out his meaning. “Eh? Are you talking about the mysterious Chief who has entered level-nine long ago? I thought he’s in a coma…”

Wu Chengyue shook his head and said, “No. He woke up a long time ago, and he’s as powerful as ever. Lan Lu just kept the secret and made people think that he’s still in a coma.”

Kong Qingming was thrilled to hear that. “Oh, I see!” he said, “Indeed, if we have his help, Si Kongchen won’t be a problem anymore. But I heard that Si Kongchen is good at long-range attacks while the Chief of Green Mountain Base is good at close combat. Is that true? If that’s true, we’ll have to create an opportunity for him to fight Si Kongchen closely.”

“I’m not going to ask him to defeat Si Kongchen. We just need him to help us fend against the other’s attacks,” said Wu Chengyue.

“How?” Kong Qingming didn’t understand, “Can he create a giant shield or something like that?”

Wu Chengyue clapped his hands and responded to him with a smile, “Bingo! Level-nine beings can freely control the energies surrounding their bodies and their own energies to create energy shields, for defense, not offense.”

Kong Qingming didn’t know what to say. He hadn’t expected that he would guess right.

“How do you know?” he asked.

Wu Chengyue nodded and said, “Lan Lu told me about that. He sold that knowledge to me for a batch of supplies. I also know that after the current crisis has ended, they’ll be moving to a new place.”

“I’m going to give you a letter, and then you’ll take the helicopter to the northwest to see Lan Lu. Tell him that we need to borrow his Chief, and in return, we’ll promise them three favors. I’ve talked to him about that, actually. I think he’ll agree to help.” Wu Chengyue thought for a second and picked up a pen to write down a note and a simple contract. Then, he signed his name and put them into an envelope, handing it to Kong Qingming.

“No wonder you’ve been staying so calm!” Kong Qingming took over the envelope and said, with comprehension dawning on his face. Then, he turned and headed toward the outside. But before leaving the office, he abruptly turned back and said, “Um, are you really not worried about the zombie… I mean, about Miss. Lu?”

“Relax,” Wu Chengyue said to him with confidence, “She’s a smart girl. She’ll be fine.”

The woman that he was fond of was, of course, smart. Si Kongchen was indeed at level-nine, but Lin Qiao wasn’t weak. Besides, she had a huge space. She wouldn’t possibly die unless an accident happened.

Wu Chengyue knew Lin Qiao well. He believed that she would not let any accident happen to herself, and that she must be fully prepared before taking action. Also, she was already hiding in her space. Si Kongchen wouldn’t be able to hurt her while she was in there. He probably wouldn’t keep waiting for her to come out either unless he decided to give up on attacking Sea City Base.

In some way, Lin Qiao was actually earning more time for both Sea City Base and All Beings Base. So, what came next would be a competition of patience. He was waiting outside while she was hiding in the space. The one who lost patience the first might lose.
