Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Qiao left Teng under Lin Hao’s watch, then brought Xie Dong out of the nursery. Xie Dong wasn’t there to visit the baby. he must have something special or urgent for Lin Qiao.

“What’s it about?” At the end of the hallway where no one else was present, Lin Qiao told Xie Dong to start talking.

“The secret of Sea City Base has been leaked.”

“What secret?” Lin Qiao blinked and asked.

“About the soil remedy. Some people found out that it’s a lie. Those people were from Huaxia Base. They have brought the news back to Huaxia City,” said Xie Dong.

Lin Qiao wasn’t surprised to hear that. Instead, she said calmly, “Huaxia people moved fast.

Her base had a small population, so it was easy to keep a secret in her base. Unlike her base, Sea City Base was large. Any kind of people could mingle in the hundreds of thousands of residents in that base. Therefore, the secret would be revealed sooner or later. Lin Qiao didn’t think they could always keep it.

“Apart from that, do they know anything else?” Lin Qiao asked.

She wanted to know if Huaxia Base people had found out about the real source of food of Sea City Base. Since they had found out about the real situation of the farm in Sea City Base, they must have learned that Sea City Base had been providing people with a small number of fresh vegetables every day. They would certainly try to find out where those vegetables came from.

Those vegetables were, of course, from All Beings Base. If those people found out about it, the secret of All Beings Base would no longer be a secret. Sooner or later, Lin Qiao’s base would become a target. By that time, things would be much more complicated than now.

Xie Dong shook his head and said, “Not yet, but they are indeed trying to dig deeper. Sea City People detected their moves and covered all the traces in time, so they found nothing else.”

Lin Qiao nodded and said, “Thankfully they reacted quickly enough. However, I don’t think they can keep the secret for long. We need to be prepared. Have Sea City Base people caught those spies yet?”

“Most of them, but a few got away. That’s how the news was delivered to Huaxia Base. Huaxia Base is preparing to send another batch of people into Sea City Base to keep digging,” Xie Dong told her what he knew.

Lin Qiao folded her arms as she raised her right hand to scratch her chin while thinking about the future situation of her base.

Sea City Base had caught some spies, but not all of them. Apart from the few who got away, some of them might still be hiding somewhere. Those people wouldn’t make a move any time soon, in case they got caught by Sea City Base people.

Huaxia Base would send another batch of people to Sea City Base. Those people might make contact with the hunters from Sea City Base who were outside. Even if they couldn’t mingle in those hunter groups and get into the base, they could hire some of those hunters to gather information.

Some of those hunters might refuse to collaborate with them, but they could force them.

That needed time, but Si Kongchen would make moves quickly. Anyone who was not stupid would suspect All Beings Base based on the close partnership between it and Sea City Base.

“Keep a close eye on Huaxia Base and Sky Fire Base. If they make any move, come back and tell me as soon as possible,” Lin Qiao dropped her eyes and spent a short while pondering, then gave her order. After saying that expressionlessly, she waved at Xie Dong and signaled for him to leave.

“Yes, ma’am.” Xie Dong nodded with a serious look as he responded, then turned and left.

Lin Qiao stayed motionless and spent another while to think, then dropped her arms and headed back to the nursery.

“Inform all senior base administrators to go to conference room number one at two pm today for a meeting.” At the door, Lin Qiao said to Shen Yujen and then walked in.

“Yes, ma’am!” Shen Yujen quickly left to spread Lin Qiao’s words. In the nursery, Lin Hao asked her, “What happened?”

Since Lin Qiao was summoning all senior base members to conference room number one for a meeting, Lin Hao realized that it might be about something important. Conference room number one was the largest conference room. Normally, she would not hold meetings in that conference room. Most of the meetings in the base took place in the smaller conference rooms, or in the conference room in Base Number Two.

“Some people found out about Sea City Base’s lie. Huaxia Base have learned that Sea City Base can’t grow any food on their own. They haven’t found out about us though. But still, I need to make some preparations as soon as possible.” Lin Qiao walked to him and said while packing the things that Teng needed.

Lin Hao clearly understood that it was not a good thing for All Beings Base. He thought for a moment and asked, “Will Huaxia Base target us?”

Lin Qiao threw the things in her hands into her space, then gave him a glance and replied, “We are in a close partnership with Sea City Base. Don’t you think that’s enough to make Si Kongchen suspect us?”

“Oh, you’re right!” Lin Hao nodded.

After packing, Lin Qiao brought Teng out of the medical department and headed back to her flat in Base Number Two, starting her life as a mother.

While working in the office, she usually put Teng on the couch. The baby wasn’t able to crawl or walk, but he wouldn’t burst in cries and screams to torture the adults like the other babies either. If he needed anything, he would just talk.

So, Lin Qiao let him lie on the couch without any worries.

Teng looked at his little hands, feeling a little bored. He was able to move his hands and kick his legs, but not walk or crawl. His bones were still too soft. However, he could live on milk, meaning that he was a healthy baby. Based on how soon he opened his eyes, he figured that he might grow faster than the other babies.

He was patient, but he still wanted to be able to move freely as soon as possible. Therefore, he decided to exercise as much as he could.

In the quiet office, Lin Qiao had her head dropped while she was writing something. From time to time, she raised her head to glance at Teng, who was lying on the couch. The baby was always kicking his legs and swinging his arms. Seeing that, Lin Qiao couldn’t help but recall the days when he still had vines on his head.

In the afternoon, Lin Qiao brought Teng and the materials that were needed for the meeting to Base Number One, to attend to the meeting. Before entering the conference room, she put Teng on the couch in her house inside the space. Instead of letting the others see him, she decided to leave the baby in her space for a while.

“This meeting has only one theme—prepare for war. From today, we have one or two months to get ready.” Sitting in the middle of the room, Lin Qiao took off her cap and put it on the table, then rested her elbows on the table with her fingers crossed under her chin. Slowly, she scanned the faces of the others with her eagle eyes.
