Chapter 1281: Another Batch
Boom!
Everyone watched the short man fall off the building without knowing what to say. With a complicated look on her face, Yun Meng moved to the edge of the hole and looked down.
“He didn’t fall to his death, did he?” Qiu Lili said.
Sitting on the ground, Lin Kui said, “Yun Meng’s virus completely disabled his superpower. Also, he was in shock before he fell. So…”
“Eh-hem, Mengmeng, what’s going on?” said Lin Feng.
Yun Meng cast a glance downward, then turned around and spread her hands as she said, “He’s dead.”
The man fell on the cement ground, and blood splashed everywhere. The sweet, blood scent was thick and strong, yet his vibe was gone for good.
The others didn’t know what to say.
That was a little awkward way of dying!
Yun Meng leaped down. From the short distance, she confirmed that the man was really dead. After spending a few seconds looking at the man’s smashed head, she looked around and found a stick nearby. Using the stick, she picked the glowing level-seven energy nucleus out of his head.
Soon, Lin Feng and the others all landed near her.
“Superpower possessors have strong bodies, but his power had been disabled, and he wasn’t able to control his body. Falling from such a high alt.i.tude with his head hitting the ground could really kill him. After all, without his superpower, he was nothing but an ordinary man,” Lin Feng glanced at the dead body and said.
His head was broken, and his energy nucleus was dug out. He didn’t even have the chance to become a zombie.
Qiu Lili was holding the gun that the short man used before. No one knew when she picked it up.
“Their weapons are getting more and more advanced. If they’re allowed a few more years to develop, Huaxia Base might really grow strong enough to rule the whole country,” she said with a serious look while observing the gun closely.
Lin Feng squatted and searched the short man’s body as he collected all his weapons. As the mission was accomplished, everyone turned and prepared to go home. However, after turning around and making a few steps, they paused simultaneously and glanced at each other, then disappeared from where they were.
In the next second, they showed up on top of a tall building, facing Sea City Base.
“Aren’t these people going for Sea City Base? How come they suddenly came to us? Have they changed their plan?” Lin Feng gazed into the darkness and said with a slight frown.
“Who cares!” Yun Meng snorted, “Since they have the courage to come, we’ll just take their lives. There’re only hundreds of them anyway.”
“These people are so annoying!” Qiu Lili narrowed her eyes and said unhappily.
Yun Meng turned around and shouted at a group of zombies who had come up behind her earlier, “Prepare for another round of action! This time, we’ll be proactive instead of waiting for them to come to us! Do they think that we’re pushovers? These people just don’t know to give up!”
Once she finished talking, Qiu Lili and Lin Kui disappeared.
“Are you going?” Yun Meng turned to Lin Feng and asked.
Lin Feng shook his head and said, “No. I’ll stay. There’re only two level-seven ones among them. I believe you won’t need my help.”
“Oh, so this is it. Wait for the good news,” Yun Meng nodded at him and then leaped high and disappeared as well. Following the three level-seven zombies, the other zombies quickly left as well. Soon, the area became empty and quiet, and only the wind could be heard, sounding like creepy cries.
…
Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue, who were in Huaxia Base, had now been holding the two kids while staying in Lin Qiao’s bedroom in her house in her s.p.a.ce. The two kids, who were supposed to be sleeping at that time, were still awake. Teng was even wearing a very serious look on his little face.
“Can’t you tell what the problem is? Will any unpredictable situation happen in the future?” The look on Teng’s face made Wu Chengyue worry. After saying that, he turned to Lin Qiao, who was sitting on the couch.
Wu Yueling was lying on her lap, her eyelids dropping from time to time. Lin Qiao had been stroking her slowly from the head to the back like petting a cat. However, her eyes were fixed on Teng, who was in Wu Chengyue’s arms.
Compared with Wu Chengyue and his son, Lin Qiao was calm. “Based on my own feelings, I think even if there were to be some kind of problem, it won’t happen now. This body doesn’t really belong to me… So, it’s a normal thing for problems to happen.”
Teng folded his little arms before his chest and furrowed his brows slightly, seemingly thinking very hard about something. Only after hearing what his parents said did he raise his head to look at them and said uncertainly, “Since Mama has felt it herself, I think it’s basically like what she said. But, as far as I can feel, it’s actually a good thing for Mama as long as she can get through what might be happening.”
“Why? Did you feel anything?” Wu Chengyue lowered his head and looked at the boy questioningly.
Teng gave a long sigh and said, “I can’t feel it clearly yet, but I can guess about it. Mama’s body doesn’t belong to Mama originally, so her mind never completely merged with this body, which means Mama isn’t in full control of it. Now, Mama has entered a high level, so this body has been strengthened as well. This is a zombie body, and her zombie nature isn’t gone for good.”
The boy’s explanation enlightened Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue.
“Are you saying that as this body has grown strong, and its own nature wants to wake up, to fight me over the right of control over this body?” Lin Qiao said.
Teng thought for a moment and nodded. But soon, he shook his head and said, “Something like that, yeah, but I don’t think it’s gonna be as simple as fighting you over the right of control. It might devour you!”
Hearing that, Lin Qiao didn’t know what to say.
Unlike her, Wu Chengyue had questions to ask, “Do you mean that as Lin Qiao has grown strong, the instinct of her body woke up, and now it wants to devour her mind? If it succeeded, your Mama would…”
“Mama would no longer be Mama,” Teng raised his head and looked at Lin Qiao.
She nodded and thought for a moment, “So, if that happened, I would become a pure zombie with no sanity or humanity, right?”
