Chapter 112: Eavesdrop On The Enemy
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
While thinking about the purpose of this level-six powerful being, Lin Qiao continued approaching the two vehicles. She didn’t get too close, but stopped about ten meters away to quietly observe the area surrounding the vehicles.
Through observation, she discovered that the surrounding zombies had been following the human scents emitting from the vehicles and slowly gathering toward this area.
Lin Qiao sniffed at the air and found that the human scent in this area wasn’t really strong, but was actually quite faint, as a large part of it had probably been blocked by the vehicles.
The zombies nearby were able to sense the human scents from the vehicles, but the ones who were further away couldn’t sense it at all. Therefore, all the surrounding zombies had wandered to this area by chance before detecting the scents of human beings and coming at the two vehicles. However, the shooters in the vehicles would blow their heads up before they could approach.
The zombies from further areas were attracted by guns. Not a large number of zombies had gathered in this area, as all the zombies were moving over very slowly.
Lin Qiao saw that the dead bodies of quite a few zombies lying in a circle around the two vehicles, about ten meters away. That was why she didn’t approach the car immediately.
Both of the two vehicles were covered in all sorts of equipment. Lin Qiao guessed that more than one detectors were installed on each vehicle, added with some highly dangerous weapons. She believed that these vehicles were designed for defending against not only zombies, but also human beings.
Lin Qiao couldn’t tell if she would be detected by their detectors.
As for the level-six superpowered being, she believed that that person wouldn’t be able to detect her. After all, she managed to run away from under the eyes of Wu Yueling’s dad last time, who was a level-seven one.
She began moving forward meter by meter, trying to approach the two vehicles. As she got closer, she didn’t hear any alarm going off. When she was less than two meters away, the people in the two vehicles still made no reaction.
Only after that did Lin Qiao walk up to one of the two vehicles without concern, and reached out a hand to touch it. However, she then took her hand back, as she didn’t know if the vehicle had any sensors, or if she would trigger any alarm by touching the car. But then, she realized that she was in the invisible state, and even the detectors had failed to detect her. Therefore, she believed that even if she did touch a sensor, she would need to worry nothing.
Those people couldn’t see her anyway!
With that thought, she gently gripped the b.u.mper of the car. As no alarm was triggered, she climbed up on all fours and easily hopped onto the car roof.
The car was armed from the wheels to the roof, surrounded in a thick steel frame which was covered in iron thorns, designed to prevent zombie attacks.
After nimbly climbing onto the car roof, Lin Qiao finally found a flat spot to lie down on.
Lin Qiao’s body was light, and her movements were gentle. So, when she was moving on the car roof, the people inside felt nothing.
She found an air hole on the car roof, then pressed her ear on it to hear the sounds in the car.
The sounds coming from the car weren’t loud, as they were blocked by something. However, Lin Qiao’s sense of hearing was as good as her sense of smell. Therefore, not to mention the sounds in the car, she could even hear the sounds from under the car.
Nevertheless, the people in the car weren’t talking, but were very quiet. If she didn’t hear the sounds of breathing and some machines, she would have thought that the car was empty.
Since no one was talking, this car wasn’t the one with the command control dial panel. Normally, the commanders would stay in the car with the command control dial panel.
Lin Qiao waited for a while, but failed to hear anything. So, she stood up and directly leaped to the other car, which was less than two meters away. Then, she nimbly landed on the roof of that car and lied down again to try hearing the sounds inside.
“They’re in the hotel building over there? Are you sure?” She heard a voice from the car. It seemed that this commander was trying to confirm something with his subordinates.
“Em… Since you’ve confirmed their location, keep an eye on them. We’re on our way…What? Level-four spirit-powered? Why didn’t you report about it just now?… Alright, I get it. Did you see a wind-powered one?…No?…Alright! Keep an eye on them, but don’t alert them.”
The man ended the conversation soon, then turned to the man beside him and said, “Start the car…Let’s go!”
“Yes, sir!” The man in the driver’s seat responded. Right after that, the car began moving slowly toward the hotel building.
Then, the commander said to the driver, “They said that they’ve located them. Du Yuanxing and his team are hiding in the hotel building, about three-hundred meters in the front.”
“Hotel?” Another voice spoke up, “Ah, I remember that place! Captain Hua, just now you mentioned level-four spirit-powered…What is it? Zombie?”
Huo Wu was the name of the commander who was called Captain Huo. “En…The scouting team said that they’ve found the body of a level-four spirit-powered zombie, which was killed not long ago. It should be Du Yuanxing and his people.” He replied.
“Then… did you find the wind-powered zombie’s body?” Asked the second soldier. “Have they killed the wind-powered one too?”
Huo Wu shook his head and said, “I asked, and they said no. They’ve only found a spirit-powered one. Yang Cheng, be patient. The wind-powered zombie should have run away if it weren’t killed by them. Or perhaps, it’s still nearby. It won’t be too late for us to find that wind-powered zombie after we have dealt with Du Yuanxing and his people.”
Yang Cheng had no choice but to respond smilingly, “You’re right, you’re right! Let’s do what you said, Captain. We should kill that woman first. But, why do we have to kill her? I know that she used to be close with Lin Wenwen, but Lin Feng and his people are like homeless dogs now. We don’t even know if they can escape Chief Yang. Are we worrying that this woman might join them someday?”
“What do you know?” Said Huo Wu scornfully, “Do you know what is Long Qingying’s power?”
“I do. Isn’t it metal power?” Yang Cheng asked.
“Yeah, metal power it is. Do you know how destructive her power is? She’s able to control all the metal objects in the area a hundred meters around the street, and destroy the entire street within five seconds. So, what will happen when she gets to level-five or even level-seven? Do you think she’ll try to take revenge for Lin Wenwen or not? And, if Lin Wenwen and her family survived Yang Jianhua, they might find her after that, and will definitely return after they have grown stronger. By then, how great do you think Long Qingying’s metal power will have become?” Huo Wu said.
Yang Cheng thought for a moment. He pictured Long Qingying controlling all the metal objects in the base and turning them into her weapons. That was such a scary scene that he didn’t even dare to continue imagining it.
