Yang Chao gave a shout and suddenly swung an arm toward Wu Chengyue to launch a superpower attack. Raging gusts of wind suddenly broke the windows and blew in, roaring across the entire conference hall and rolling back out.
The wind that Yang Chao created was at least force ten, like a typhoon pa.s.sing over. Within a blink, all the tables, chairs, and other furnis.h.i.+ngs in the hall were raised by the wind, flying in the air.
The people weren’t able to steady themselves under this violent wind, and all the commoners began staggering.
Wu Chengyue had prepared himself for this after saying what he said, so he reacted swiftly. Once Yang Chao made a move, he raised an arm and created a dazzling line in midair.
Following the rumbling thunder, lightning bolts descended from the sky. It flashed into the conference hall through the broken windows and gathered toward Yang Chao.
On the other side of the hall, Zou s.h.i.+hui remained standing steadily. As he waved a hand, the cement on the wall fell into pieces and gathered toward his people, soon forming into a cement wall that s.h.i.+elded the people behind him against the wind.
“Yang Chao, you’ve really been colluding with outsiders! Are you planning to occupy the base for yourself?” His face darkened slightly as he growled at Yang Chao.
Yang Chao stepped aside to dodge Wu Chengyue’s lightning bolts. After that, he stood straight, his long, black army coat fluttering in the wind.
He sneered and said, “Since you have all known, I don’t need to pretend anymore now. That was exhausting. I am the owner of this base, and you… should all die!”
After saying that, he pointed at Wu Chengyue and continued, “Wu Chengyue, I have had enough of you. Today, you can either get out of the base with your people or die here! Come out”
As Yang Chao abruptly gave an order, a small part of the people behind him had their expressions changed. Their faces turned cold and twisted and their eyes popped, mouth widening and teeth bared.
Some of the others calmly followed behind Yang Chao, and a few drew back to a corner with confusion and fright, glancing at Yang Chao and Wu Chengyue with puzzles in their eyes.
Wu Chengyue said to Yang Chao blandly, “Yang Chao, we built the base together. It doesn’t belong to you alone. So, we won’t let you do this.”
The wind was still blowing in the conference hall. The other superpowered people s.h.i.+elded the commoners and guided them to the corners of walls to take shelter from the wind. Soon, only Wu Chengyue, Yang Chao, Tang He, Zou s.h.i.+hui and a few other powerful ones were left in the middle of the hall.
Xiao Yunlong, Yan Fangyu, and the other vice-leaders each took a few steps backward, standing behind their Chiefs.
The people who sat in this conference hall had all made major contributions to the construction of this base. None of them was willing to give the base which was built up with their efforts to a man, even though he was a level-seven powerful being.
“Yang Chao, the things that you’ve been doing behind our back are no good for the base. On the contrary, you are bringing harm to everyone else. You think injecting the diluted virus can lead to rapid growth of strength? Then, you should also know that the hosts will gradually lose their humanity!” Xiao Yunlong stood behind Wu Chengyue and pointed at Yang Chao as he yelled at him.
Yang Chao looked at the others grimly. He had just found out that Wu Chengyue had already known about his secret experiment.
“Was it you who kidnapped my researchers?” He waved a hand to calm the wind in the hall, then stared at Wu Chengyue and asked.
“Yang Chao, did you get our permission to run that experiment? No wonder more and more members of this base went missing in the past few months. How dare you run experiments on the people in the base? Lunatic!” With a sullen look, Zou s.h.i.+hui gazed at Yang Chao in the eyes while questioning him.
Yang Chao gave a careless grin and responded, “You don’t understand. If my experiment succeeds, we’ll be having a powerful army, won’t we? By then, our base will expand into the largest base in this country, and the other bases will pay tribute to us with food and supplies. Won’t that be great?”
With a sarcastic smile, Wu Chengyue said, “You have a large ambition, but too many unnecessary thoughts. Your body is healthy, but your brain isn’t.”
“Hehe,” Yan Fangyu, who stood aside, was amused by Wu Chengyue’s words. She couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
“Be serious, there’s a fight!” The elderly man with a pair of gla.s.ses abruptly turned to say to her.
“Eh-hem,” Yan Fangyu immediately erased the smile on her face and kept telling herself not to burst into undue laughter, and to stay serious, serious!
Hearing Wu Chengyue’s words, Yang Chao’s face darkened. With a cold voice, he said, “Then let’s see if my thoughts are unnecessary or not.”
While speaking, he swung his arm again and brought a series of tornadoes into the hall through the windows. The window frames were immediately rolled away, and even the walls were broken. Soon, the windows were all crushed by the spinning winds, creating large holes on the walls.
At that point, Tang He quickly and sneakily controlled all the metal objects which were flying in the air. He melted those metal objects and turned them into a great number of sharp metal pieces, sending them flying toward Zou s.h.i.+hui fleetingly.
Seeing those sharp metal pieces flying at them, Zou s.h.i.+hui’s people all remained standing still with composure. The cement wall quickly moved to before them and s.h.i.+elded them from those falling metal pieces.
At that time, the people around the building had all stopped walking with astonishment, then raised their heads to look at the lightning bolts and hear that roaring wind on top of the administration building.
“Eh? It’s the conference hall up there, right? What’s going on? Wind and lightning? Are Chief Wu and Chief Yang fighting?” The people who didn’t know what was happening pointed at the top floor and asked each other with confusion and curiosity.
“This morning, many senior base administrators were summoned for a meeting. What’s happening now?”
“Last night, they searched through the entire base. What now?”
The people around the building began talking, and the ones from further places started gathering toward this area.
“Look at the wind and lightning bolts. It must be our two Chiefs fighting up there.”
“It has finally started. They’ve put up with each other for long.”
“This morning, I felt that something huge was going to happen. It turns out that our Chiefs are starting a war!”
Some people who had heard a little about it earlier whispered to each other.
After initiating the trouble, Lin Qiao took advantage of the chaos and left this administration building. Now, she was watching the battle from the top of a smaller building which was in front of that administration building, with her arms crossed before her chest.
Only after hearing what Wu Chengyue said did she figure out why she had been sensing a strange vibe from some of those people behind Yang Chao. Also, the scents of those people didn’t seem to be right.
It turned out that those people were injected with the diluted zombie virus, and had been infected. That kind of infections was minor, a little similar to mutation. It was different from the infection which would happen after a healthy human being was bitten by a zombie, and those people were no longer the same as healthy human beings.
Lin Qiao felt strange and curious just now, and now she understood why. Those people’s twisted faces did look a little like those zombies out there.
After spending a moment sensing the intense fight which was happening in the building, Lin Qiao turned and sneakily headed toward Lin Wenwen’s place.
‘Hah, running after stirring up a trouble… That felt nice!’
