Chapter 511: Hidden Power

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

In the new base in Upper City District, Wu Chengyue found that he was really not helpful there after Long Yubai was beaten back. So, he took Wu Yueling and his subordinates, and sent the supplies that he found back to his base, then started distributing those supplies to the commoners in the poor areas in his base.

With the help of Yang Chao’s energy nucleus, Xiao Yunlong had upgraded to level-seven. So now, Wu Chengyue and Zou Shihui put him in Yang Chao’s position and let him manage the part of the base which used to be under Yang Chao’s administration.

After that, Wu Chengyue suddenly became a Chief who had no Deputy Chief under his command. He didn’t mind though, as he still had Xiao Licheng, Moli, and Li Yueshan and the others following him around.

Those people were at level-five, but were all pretty capable.

As for Meng Yue…

“Eh… You’re going to help Yunlong? Are you still mad at me?” Wu Chengyue sat in his office behind his desk as he looked at Meng Yue with surprise, who was standing before the desk.

Meng Yue looked at him. Her eyes still contained grievance, but the obsession she had toward Wu Chengyue seemed to be mostly gone. Now, the look in her eyes was much more frank. Perhaps, she had thought things through during the past days, added with the fact that Xiao Yunlong had been trying to divert her attention through all sorts of means recently. That was probably why she wanted to help Xiao Yunlong now.

“Yunlong has just taken over the work over there. He must need help with many things. So, I want to go there and help him,” she looked at Wu Chengyue and said.

“Um… That’s good! If you want to go, I’ll surely agree.” As Meng Yue applied for a job transfer willingly, Wu Chengyue sighed in relief. Meng Yue had stopped avoiding him, meaning that she might not be angry at him anymore.

After he signed his name on Meng Yue’s job transfer application, she left. But not long after that, someone else came to visit Wu Chengyue.

In surprise, Wu Chengyue watched the tall and slim pretty lady walk straight into his office and asked, “Miss. Yan, what brings you here?”

The visitor was none other than Yan Fangyu, a Deputy Chief under Zou Shihui’s command. Her beautiful face was wearing a generous smile as she responded, “Chief Wu, am I not welcomed?”

Wu Chengyue offered her a seat on the couch, then poured her a glass of water and smiled at her, “Of course you are! It’s an honor of this office that you came.”

Seeing a stranger come in, Wu Yueling immediately ran to Wu Chengyue and held his leg.

“Is little Ling Ling still so afraid of strangers?” Yan Fangyu looked at Wu Yueling who hung herself on her father’s leg and said smilingly.

Wu Chengyue bent over and scooped Wu Yueling up with one hand as he picked up the glass with the other. Then, he walked to Yan Fangyu and put the glass of water on the table before her.

“She’s much better now. Before, she’d never run to me by herself. She’d only hide under the table,” Wu Chengyue sat on the other couch and said.

“I see! Have thought about finding her a mother? You’re a man. It’s more or less inconvenient for you to raise a kid alone, isn’t it?” Yan Fangyu asked a question.

“Ah! I do have those thoughts. But about that, we need to be patient. After all, not everyone can be accepted by this kid,” Wu Chengyue smiled.

“I think Meng Yue is doing pretty good, isn’t she? In fact, all of us think that she might become the little princess’s Mom someday,” said Yan Fangyu.

“Ah, Yue… Maybe it’s because we know each other too well, I’ve been seeing her as my little sister,” said Wu Chengyue.

“Ah, I get it…” Yan Fangyu immediately understood his meaning.

He had been seeing Meng Yue as his sister. For that reason, he wanted her to be with someone better than himself.

“Eh, Miss. Yan, you made time out of your busy schedule to visit me. It’s not because you want to know if I’m gonna find Ling Ling a mother, is it?” Wu Chengyue laughed and asked.

“Well, I almost forgot why I was here. I’m here to ask you about the new base in Upper City District, as you just came back from there. How are things going over there now?” Yan Fangyu finally mentioned why she came here.

“I see! You’re here because of that! They’re still short-handed over there. After all, the wall will be thousands of meters long, even though it’s only the wall of the base center. However, things are going well though, and they don’t seem to be in a rush,” said Wu Chengyue.

“But, I don’t think there’s a powerful one among them to guard the new base, right? Last time, Long Yubai went there. If you weren’t there, I guess they would be in serious troubles,” Yan Fangyu thought for a moment and said.

“Eh? You seem to care about them a lot. You’ve done them quite some help earlier as well.” The smile on Wu Chengyue’s face grew bigger as he narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Fangyu. “I heard that you’re quite interested in Yuan Tianxing, aren’t you?”

He knew about that. Earlier on, Yang Chao sent Tang He the robber after Yuan Tianxing and his people because Yan Fangyu and Yuan Tianxing got too close. After all, he was drooling over her the whole time.

“Um, you know it clearly, so don’t say it out aloud. Actually, I wanted to visit them recently, so I decided to come here first and see what you know about their situation,” Yan Fangyu admitted frankly.

“I’ve told you what I know. But last time, it wasn’t me who beat off Long Yubai. Their base is also guarded by powerful beings. You don’t need to worry,” Wu Chengyue said to her.

“Eh?” His words shocked Yan Fangyu slightly, “Wasn’t that you? According to the intelligence, a level-seven superpowered being stopped Long Yubai’s army and forced them back.”

“The accuracy rate of your intelligence is too low. That wasn’t me,” Wu Chengyue smilingly shook his head.

“Is that so? Didn’t you fight Long Yubai back then?” Yan Fangyu looked at him with surprise.

“No. I was not a part of it,” Wu Chengyue smiled.

Yan Fangyu blinked, then smiled and asked, “It turns out that there’s such a powerful being among them. I guess it’s Miss. Lu, isn’t it? I think she lent a hand when we fought Yan Chao.”

“Em, I guess that’s right,” Wu Chengyue didn’t give her a specific answer.

He now understood that the pretty lady was here to try to figure out who that level-seven being that beat off Long Yubai was. He didn’t plan to let her know the truth; instead, he decided to let her to think that it was Lu Tianyu.

Wu Chengyue wasn’t sure which exact level Lu Tianyu the zombie and Qiu Lili were at. Even the one called Mengmeng was upgraded suddenly. He felt that Lu Tianyu the zombie had the power to upgrade zombies quickly.

Three level-seven zombies existed in a newly founded base. If the world knew about this, this new base would be targeted by all the other bases.

“So, we really don’t need to worry about them,” Yan Fangyu smiled.
