Chapter 1405: Deal with It in the Old Way
Lin Qiao glanced at Teng smilingly and then said to Lin Wenwen, “He remembered the past only recently. Before he was born, he didn’t remember a thing, and neither did I.”
“Yeah, and he was a big vine plant,” Lin Wenwen laughed.
Lin Qiao opened the files that Lin Wenwen brought and changed the topic, “Alright, let’s stop talking about me. You’ve seen it already, so you should know that we need to speed up here. I really need to seize the time to finish Si Kongchen off as soon as possible. Then, I can deal with Lu Tianyu, who has become a zombie but can still create troubles.”
Hopefully, Lu Tianyu wouldn’t hinder her in her war against Si Kongchen.
“How do you plan to deal with Si Kongchen?” Lin Wenwen asked, “He’s not taking any action now. I wonder how he’s going to attack Sea City Base.”
Lin Qiao glanced at her and said, “I’m not gonna wait for him to make a move. To get rid of him as soon as possible, we’ll have to do it in the old way.”
“What old way?” Lin Wenwen didn’t get her meaning.
“Do you remember how we tore Earth Dragon Base and Hidden Cloud City Base down?” Lin Qiao spoke with a bland tone.
On hearing that, Lin Wenwen instantly had her eyes glowing. “Are you talking about eliminating their heads?” She figured out what Lin Qiao meant this time.
Lin Wenwen knew that Lin Qiao wouldn’t want to hurt the innocent people in Huaxia Base. She would probably start from the army or the leaders of the base. However, in the next second, she continued with confusion, “But, Si Kongchen is at level-eight as well, so killing him isn’t going to be easy, is it? You are at the same level as him, and you’re probably stronger than him. However, if he tries to run, will you be able to stop him? You can’t kill him with one single move, can you?”
“I won’t give him any time to run,” said Lin Qiao with confidence. She planned to drag him into her s.p.a.ce. Inside, he would be able to run as fast as he wanted but would never be able to escape the fate of being killed by her. Lin Qiao had killed quite a few level-eight beings in her s.p.a.ce. She would have killed Si Kongchen in that way long ago if she weren’t busy finding out the truth about those underground creatures.
She had planned to let Wu Chengyue deal with Si Kongchen while she herself focused on studying underground creatures and the underground s.p.a.ce. As long as she stayed in her base, the base would be safe, no matter what Si Kongchen might attempt to do.
She couldn’t leave her base for the time being, because once she left, the people and zombies in the base might face dangers, even though there were tens of level-seven zombies in the zombie army currently. After all, Si Kongchen still possessed the drug that could boost one’s power within a very short time.
Also, she firmly believed that Huaxia Base had more level seven and eight members than people thought. Si Kongchen was the only known level-eight being in Huaxia Base. Judging from the fact that he intended to destroy the Sea City Base, those advanced weapons were clearly not the only force that could support his future actions.
Zombies were normally stronger than human superpower possessors in the same level. However, a zombie couldn’t defeat a human superpower possessor who was a level higher than itself. Also, the drug that Huaxia Base possessed was indeed able to boost one’s power rapidly.
Huaxia was a large base. Among the two million people who lived in it, some powerful ones who had a grievance against Si Kongchen’s aggressive and violent rule certainly existed. Hence, once he died, both his supporters and opponents would make moves. By then, Huaxia Base would certainly fall into chaos. Whatever happened after that wouldn’t even have anything to do with All Beings Base.
Sensing her sister’s confidence, Lin Wenwen asked, “If you are confident that you can kill him, why didn’t you do it earlier? Why did you wait so long?”
Lin Qiao pointed at the file in her hands with her chin while saying, “I’ve been busy dealing with those underground creatures.”
“Oh,” said Lin Wenwen.
“Huaxia Base is such a troublemaker though,” she continued with, “I can’t believe they have even visited the underground world and done things there. They caused trouble and then refused to deal with it, yet all they want is to destroy the other bases. I wonder what those people are thinking about. None of the other bases has done any harm to them, right?”
“They’re strong, so their ambition exploded. They want to rule the world using violence. The desire for control is a part of the ill-nature of humans, and the apocalypse reinforced it. It’s a normal thing, actually.” Lin Qiao knew the answer.
“Oh…” Lin Wenwen responded without knowing what to say.
“The underground creature problem was indeed caused by Huaxia Base, so we have another reason to bring them down now,” Lin Qiao continued while the look in her eyes grew cold.
“According to the latest message, those underground creatures will finish upgrading in about three days. After that, they’ll probably go rampant even without the drug. The drug that Huaxia Base has can drive them crazy, but even without it, they still won’t be easy to deal with. The good thing is they won’t be able to find human bases easily, unless someone is guiding them,” said Lin Wenwen, “When do you plan to kill Si Kongchen?”
Lin Qiao thought for a moment and said, “I’ll take off tomorrow. Apart from killing Si Kongchen, I plan to do more. Who doesn’t know how to start trouble? It’s just that my purpose isn’t the same as his.”
While speaking, she twisted her lips in a small smile. That smile wasn’t like her usual warm or cold smile. Instead, it expressed an intent of killing. Lin Wenwen recognized that smile, even though her sister was now wearing a different face. Ever since she was a little girl, she had known that someone would be suffering once her sister smiled like that.
“Tomorrow? When will you come back then? What are you going to do to those underground creatures after they completed upgrading?” Lin Wenwen asked.
“It depends,” said Lin Qiao, “I’ll be back in two days if everything goes well, or ten days if something stalls me. I think I’ll get back in time. However, I probably won’t be able to help you guys deal with those underground creatures, because I need to find a way to bring those weapons that can hurt underground creatures effectively back from Huaxia Base.”
Lin Wenwen felt a little speechless. She had a feeling that his sister’s main task was to steal those weapons from Huaxia Base. After all, All Beings Base didn’t yet have any powerful weapons to protect itself from the underground creatures.
Sea City Base had developed some catmint weapons, but the catmint that Lin Wenwen had brought back wasn’t enough to support any weapon of ma.s.s destruction, and could only be used to produce some bullets or small bombs. The current catmint weapons that Sea City Base possessed would be able to fend against a small group of underground creatures, but not a ma.s.sive herd.
Lin Qiao read the look on Lin Wenwen’s face. “It’d be a waste if I don’t get those weapons. The problem was started by Huaxia Base, so it’ll be fair for us to solve it using their weapons.”
