Chapter 257: Great Imagination
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
The invisible Lin Qiao looked at Yang Jianhua from a corner and couldn’t help but sigh. Her attack was ineffective on him as he was very sensitive.
She had no choice but to wait and see.
Meanwhile, Yang Jianhua was staring at the black ice pieces which were melting slowly. His ice was unexpectedly melted by the strange mist. The mist seemed to be highly corrosive. Was the zombie-eyed superpowered lady a possessor of poisonous mist?
Defending against such kind of superpowered people wasn’t an easy thing.
However, it wasn’t really difficult for Yang Jianhua.
He glanced around, then laughed with a cold voice. “I don’t know who you are, but you seem to be on Lin Feng’s side. You’re sent here as a spearhead, which means you’ve discovered us. Lin Feng and his people aren’t going to leave the hotel, are they?”
Lin Qiao didn’t show her face, but quietly stood beside him, looking at him.
Yang Jianhua paused slightly. As Lin Qiao didn’t show up, he continued, “I know you’re here. Weren’t you captured by the level-six zombie? There’re zombie crowds five-hundred meters away around your hotel, so you can’t leave even if you want to. Besides, I noticed that some of you have gone on a mission. I guess they were eaten one after another, weren’t they?”
‘Eh? This man really has a great imagination! He actually thinks that way,’ Lin Qiao looked at him and wanted to laugh.
Based on what Yang Jianhua said, Lin Qiao guessed that he did arrive here two days ago. After spending two days observing Lin Feng and his people, he found that Du Yuanxing, Yuan Xianting, and the others weren’t in the hotel. Added with the fact that he was attacked by Qiu Lili before, he actually thought that those absent people were eaten by Qiu Lili.
The zombie crowd had blocked every entrance of the hotel, and Yang Jianhua thought that they were preventing Lin Feng and his people from getting out.
‘So imaginative!’ Lin Qiao thought. But then, she thought from another angle and felt that it was reasonable for the people who didn’t know the truth to think that way. Qiu Lili often walked about on the roof and disappeared frequently. Indeed, she was a little like a master herder who was keeping an eye on her herd.
‘So, this is the result of his observation from the past two days?’ Lin Qiao squatted on the guardrail while Yang Jianhua was still talking to air.
“What? Don’t you dare to come out? I know that you’re still here. You showed up earlier, so what happened to you now?”
Right at that moment, a soldier who was covered in wounds shambled upstairs. He got close to the group of squad leaders who were standing by the stairs and said a few words to them. Next thing, those squad leaders had their expressions changed dramatically.
“Chief! Our vehicles are missing!” One squad leader turned to Yang Jianhua and yelled at him. Yang Jianhua immediately turned his head to look at them, sending a frosty vibe straight to their faces.
He narrowed his eyes, then slowly approached them.
“What did you say?”
The group of squad leader instantly stepped aside and let the soldier face Yang Jianhua. The soldier was covered in bleeding wounds, which were caused by claws and teeth.
He breathed quickly and weakly as he said, “We…we got knocked out suddenly…When we woke up, the vehicles were…all gone. We were…surrounded by zombies…”
Hearing his words and seeing his wounds and pale face, the others knew that this soldier was going to die soon.
“You were bitten by zombies,” said Yang Jianhua.
Before the others figured out his meaning, that soldier was frozen into an ice statue.
Yang Jianhua turned around to glance at the empty roof, then said with a dark face, “So, this was your purpose.”
Lin Qiao raised her brows, then quietly leaned backward and fell off the roof.
When she returned to the hotel, Lin Feng and the other three were waiting in the room. Seeing her, they immediately stood up from their seats.
“How’s it going? Is it really Yang Jianhua?”
Lin Qiao glanced at them and responded, “He’s coming here soon. I’ll bring you into my s.p.a.ce to hide, also to let you meet some people.” While speaking, she walked up and dragged Lin Feng and Lin Hao into the s.p.a.ce. Once in, they saw a group of people sitting on couches, chatting.
Lin Qiao left the two of them in her s.p.a.ce, then flashed out and brought Long Qingying and Xie Dong in. After that, she saw Lin Feng and Li Zheng staring at each other.
“Li Zheng! You…Why are you here!”
Seeing Li Zheng, Feng Yuming, Lei Yao, and Fei Chonglin; Lin Feng could scarcely believe his eyes.
“Great Captain! Thank G.o.d you’re okay!” Li Zheng and his people looked at Lin Feng excitedly.
Mrs. Lin chuckled and said, “I’ve told you that we’re all fine. But your team…You’re the only ones left.”
Lin Qiao glanced around for a few times, but didn’t see Liu Jun and Tong Tong. She used her sensations and found that they were hiding in the small s.p.a.ce.
They were hiding in there the whole time, so Mrs. Lin and the others didn’t know that they were there, neither did they notice that small s.p.a.ce.
“Mom…why are they here?” Lin Feng asked in shock.
“Why are you asking me?” Mrs. Lin responded smilingly, “Shouldn’t you be asking Miss. Lu about that?”
Reminded by Mrs. Lin, Lin Feng turned back to ask Lin Qiao. However, Lin Qiao wasn’t there. He looked around and only saw Long Qingying walking toward him, as well as Xie Dong heading to the lakeside.
“Eh? Where did she go?” He murmured.
“Great Captain,” said Li Zheng, “Come here and sit down. I’ll tell you what happened.” Then, he pointed at Huang Ming and continued, “This is Captain Huang Ming, under the command of Deputy Chief Xiao from Sea City Base.”
Lin Feng didn’t know that someone from Sea City Base was here, so he looked at Huang Ming with surprise. The latter smilingly waved a hand and said shyly, “Ah, just call me Huang Ming. Don’t mention the Captain thing.”
Lin Feng nodded, and the look in his face turned less serious. With a faint smile, he said, “You and Li Zheng are both at level-five. It’s normal for you to be a Captain in a base. No need to be humble.”
Afterward, some of them sat down on the couches and some remained standing.
“We met Yang Jianhua two days ago,” said Li Zheng, “He captured us without saying anything, then brought us here. He proudly told us a lot about Chief and our base.”
Speaking of that, Li Zheng and his people all wore a sullen look. Lin Feng could roughly guess what Yang Jianhua had said to them, and knew that he wouldn’t want to hear those words.
“They tied us up and brought us to this area. Earlier on, at the top floor of a residential building, we were sitting against a wall and being guarded. However, someone dragged us suddenly and we got in here.”
