Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Report

Wu Xun returned to the base, as the sky was already growing dark.

At that time, Ji Wanwan was leading Yinyin by the poolside, feeding the fish.

Seeing his daughter wearing a clean and pretty little dress, her soft hair cascading behind her, fluttering slightly in the wind, Wu Xun felt a warmth around his eyes and an inexplicable urge to cry.

Ji Wanwan spotted Wu Xun’s figure from afar.

She leaned slightly forward and gently patted Yinyin on the shoulder, “Yinyin, Daddy’s back.”

Yinyin’s somewhat vacant gaze turned towards Daddy, and she murmured unconsciously, “Daddy…”

Hearing her voice, Wu Xun took three steps in two and ran over, scooping Yinyin into his arms, “Eh! Daddy’s here!”

After all, he was her father, and although Yinyin seemed a bit wooden now, she instinctively wrapped her little arms around Daddy’s neck.

Wu Xun cast a grateful look at Ji Wanwan, “Lord, I’ve made contact with the brothers; the plan is going smoothly so far.”

Ji Wanwan nodded slightly, “You’ve worked hard. Dinner has already been prepared for you in the restaurant. Have your meal and spend some time with Yinyin, then rest early.”

Wu Xun nodded his head in a hurry, “Yes, yes! Thank you, Lord!”

Not long after the man left, Wen Yuheng appeared.

“Lord Ji!” From a distance, Wen Yuheng spotted Ji Wanwan’s figure and hurried over to report his duties for the day.

In a dark corner that Wen Yuheng didn’t notice, Ji Wanwan thought she glimpsed Zhou Kai, but upon looking closely, nothing was there.

She blinked and shifted her gaze away, “Brother Wen is back, too. You’ve been busy all day. It must have been tough.”

Wen Yuheng waved his hand dismissively, “It wasn’t tough.”

“Have you eaten?” Seeing him looking travel-worn, Ji Wanwan guessed that he came straight to her and hadn’t had time to go back to see Xiao Lu and change clothes.

He shook his head, “Not yet, I’ll report first, then go to the cafeteria to pack two meals to eat with Xiao Lu. No rush.”

Ji Wanwan did not argue and lifted her eyebrows slightly, walking with Wen Yuheng onto the middle of the bridge over the lake.

The artificial lake wasn’t big, and its internal circulation system connected the stagnant water with groundwater, turning it into a living water body.

Leaning lazily against the railing while listening to the babbling of the water, Ji Wanwan asked, “How did it go? Did you meet the person?”

Wen Yuheng’s ears turned red in an instant, “I did meet them, but seems like they might not be too fond of my type…”

Ji Wanwan couldn’t help but smile, “Brother Wen, have some confidence. You have the looks and strength, and you are kind-hearted and caring. What girl wouldn’t like a man like you?”

Her beautiful eyes flowing, she narrowed them coquettishly, “If there really is a girl who doesn’t like you, it must be because she doesn’t understand you yet. Once she spends more time with you, she’ll surely be charmed by your tenderness.”

A round of extravagant flattery left Wen Yuheng dizzy and even more flushed.

He scratched his head, embarrassed, “Cough, Lord, you’re exaggerating…”

Ji Wanwan’s eyes crinkled as she smiled, “Brother Wen, you can do it. Go for it!”

Wen Yuheng, who had been calm, felt his heartbeat become erratic in that moment.

He felt if he stayed any longer, he would turn into a red shrimp, so he quickly gave a brief report of his accomplishments for the day and beat a hasty retreat.

Watching Wen Yuheng’s disheveled retreat, Ji Wanwan’s mood brightened considerably.

Zhou Kai, who had been monitoring from the shadows, felt like he’d enjoyed a good melon.

He couldn’t make out what the two were saying, but from their expressions, it seemed like Wen Yuheng was very pleased by Ji Wanwan’s cajoling.

However, the moment Zhou Kai thought about Wen Yuheng’s actions during the day, his gaze instantly darkened.

On this side, just after Ji Wanwan had seen off Wen Yuhuan, Xu Siming arrived.

“Xiao Wan, I experimented with the small blood pearl, and it can indeed attract zombies,” he said.

As he spoke, he took off his wrist pack and handed all the extra small blood pearls back to Ji Wanwan: “If you throw a small blood pearl forcefully onto the ground, it will burst and rise into a cloud of blood mist.

The scent of the blood mist is strong and can divert a zombie’s attention in an instant, but it only works on low-level zombies. It’s ineffective against zombies that have evolved intelligence.”

Ji Wanwan took the small blood pearls and fiddled with them in her hand for a moment.

After a bit of thought, she kept one of each level of small blood pearl in the System Space and handed the rest back to Xu Siming: “These things have a sinister nature, keeping them is always a hidden danger. I’ll keep five for emergencies, and the rest you divide with Xia Li. Carry them on missions for emergencies.”

Xu Siming wanted to say that with his current strength, he didn’t really need these things, but the words died on his lips.

You still shouldn’t speak too confidently; it would be embarrassing to contradict yourself later. If Xiao Wan wanted him to carry them, then he would carry them. After all, it was no bother.

Xu Siming stowed the items away: “Alright, then thanks,” he said.

After finishing their business, he hesitated for a moment: “Have you eaten dinner yet? Want to join me?”

Ji Wanwan squinted her eyes, looking at the red-dressed girl walking towards her in the distance and nodded her chin: “Ah Li is here, looks like you’ll have to eat alone, senior,” she said.

Xu Siming’s mouth corners sadly drooped with a hint of regret: “Okay, then I’ll head back first,” he said.

After Xu Siming left, Ji Wanwan felt a bit of soreness in her feet, so she changed her stance and leaned against the railing to wait for Xia Li.

Since becoming a Zombie Hunter, Xia Li was always brimming with energy, like a primed little grenade ready to explode at any moment, always eager to act.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Li was already close by.

“Ah Li!” Ji Wanwan handed over the milk tea she had just bought from the System Mall to Xia Li: “How is it? Are the people brought back from the Baize Union doing okay?”

Xia Li took the milk tea and gulped down several mouthfuls before responding: “They’re okay, no signs of any mutation. Just that their spirits are quite low.

I think after observing for two more days, if there isn’t any problem, we should let them all out,” she said.

Ji Wanwan considered this for a moment: “Releasing them is a minor issue, but given their current state, expecting them to earn points to support themselves seems unrealistic,” she said.

Xia Li’s beautiful eyes looked over: “Wanwan, you’re not planning on supporting all these people, are you?”

Ji Wanwan waved her hand dismissively: “Of course not. I’m not some kind of world-saving saint. People who only think about freeloading without contributing value to the base, I certainly won’t keep them.”

Xia Li breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s more like it.”

She had a couple more sips of milk tea: “So what do you plan to do?”

Ji Wanwan rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on: “Ah… I haven’t figured it out yet; I’ll think it over tonight and ask you to keep an eye on them for another day tomorrow,” she said.

Xia Li pouted: “If it’s really not working out, let Old Xu keep watch, and I’ll lead the Corpse Hunting Team on a mission,” she suggested.

The aggrieved look in her eyes made Ji Wanwan unable to help but laugh and cry: “As long as you can convince Xu Siming, I have no objections,” she said.

Finally, after everyone had reported in, Ji Wanwan relaxed, moving her sore legs: “Hungry. Want to go to the dining hall and show off your meal?”

Xia Li’s eyes lit up: “Charge!” she exclaimed.
