Chapter 490: Give The Fake Order To Defuse The Bombs
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
That ferocious look froze on Huo Wu’s face.
Pop! Lin Qiao pulled out her fingers, and a faintly glowing energy nucleus was held between her fingers.
Thud! Huo Wu’s body slowly fell to the ground.
“Eh… You killed him, but, what about the trigger?” Liu Yu looked at Lin Qiao with surprise.
Lin Qiao didn’t say anything, but squatted and wiped the energy nucleus on Huo Wu’s clothes, then threw it into her s.p.a.ce. After that, she rummaged through Huo Wu’s pockets and found a remote control from one of his trousers pockets.
Liu Yu looked at her in shock. He couldn’t help but ask another question, “Did you know he had the trigger with him? What if he had left it somewhere else?”
Lin Qiao stood up, holding the remote control. “You’re talkative. Will knowing too much benefit you?”
Liu Yu immediately shut his mouth.
Lin Qiao picked up Yang Jianhua’s head and threw it into her s.p.a.ce, then stood up.
“Alright! You, get down and tell your people that Yang Jianhua has ordered them to defuse the bombs. I’ll be watching you from behind,” While speaking, she waved a hand toward Huo Wu’s dead body. Following her move, a palm-wide stream of dark mist drifted out of her hand and covered the body.
Liu Yu watched the mist devour the entire body without leaving even a drop of blood. Only a few blood drops that Huo Wu shed earlier on were left on the floor.
Lin Qiao surely knew that Huo Wu had the remote control. Earlier on when she walked to him and asked him about the trigger, she had sensed his thoughts. That was how she learned where he kept the remote control. That was also why she dodged before he actually launched the attack.
Hearing what she said, Liu Yu was puzzled for a second, then figured out her meaning. “I get it.”
Lin Qiao gave him a faint smile, saying, “If you want to live longer, just do what I tell you to do. All inappropriate thoughts will only make you die sooner.”
Liu Yu couldn’t see her eyes, and only his own reflection in her sungla.s.ses. That made her even more mysterious in his eyes.
Huo Wu was at level-six, but she killed him within one single second. She even killed Yang Jianhua, the level-seven man effortlessly. Exactly how powerful was she?
Level-eight? No way…
Liu Yu was scared by his own guess. Level-seven beings were already incredibly strong, but level-eight… He didn’t even dare to imagine that legendary level.
Finis.h.i.+ng talking, Lin Qiao turned and disappeared in front of Liu Yu. She turned invisible, then leaped out of the window.
Liu Yu was left alone in the office, struggling. He didn’t know if he should run away or not.
He wanted very much to run straight away, as Lin Qiao had carelessly left him here alone. However, she just threatened him with that scary smile. She said that he would die sooner if he didn’t do what she said.
He wasn’t sure if that mysterious woman was really watching him right now, so he didn’t dare to run. He just couldn’t tell if she were just bluffing or if she would do exactly what she had said.
If she were really watching him, he would get himself killed by trying to run, wouldn’t he? However, he wasn’t sure how long he could live if he stayed here to work for her.
He thought about it over and over. At last, he found that he didn’t have the courage to take the risk. So, with no other choice, he delivered the fake order of defusing the bombs.
The other people didn’t know that Yang Jianhua had died anyway.
Then, he thought of those captives, and suddenly guessed which side that mysterious woman might be on. So, he hurriedly ran to the fence wall to order the soldiers there to stop hanging living captives on the wall.
He understood that making efforts at the last moment like that might not be helpful, but in order to survive, he had to grasp any possible opportunity.
On the other side, the invisible Lin Qiao leaped out of the base and crossed the isolation area, then turned back and uttered a roar toward the fence wall.
“Roar!”
That roar immediately caught the attention of all human beings and zombies nearby.
The humans took out their telescopes to observe the area where the roar came from. They spent a couple of minutes looking through them, but found nothing suspicious.
The experienced ones recognized that roar as one from a high-leveled zombie, which made them panic a little.
The soldiers stationed in Hades Base weren’t so worried, as they knew that Yang Jianhua had already become a level-seven superpowered man. Unlike them, Duan Juan and her people were terribly frightened. They flurried to find places to hide.
“Roar!”
Hearing that roar, the tens of thousands of zombies under the fence wall all stopped moving. Two seconds later, they slowly turned back to look behind them.
A couple of more seconds later, the zombies on the outer circle all turned around and began moving toward the isolation area, and then the ones closer to the wall did the same. They seemed to have lost their interest in those living human beings hanging on the wall.
Abruptly, a few higher-leveled zombies nimbly darted out of the crowd and stepped on other zombies’ heads as they leaped forward ahead of the others. Soon, the superpowered soldiers guarding on the wall discovered that weird movement of the zombie crowd and showed a surprised look.
“What’s going on? Why are those zombies leaving?”
“I heard a high-level zombie roaring just now. I think it’s summoning these zombies.”
“So… is that high-leveled zombie going to lead the zombie crowd to attack us?”
“You see, those zombies stopped in the isolation area… What are they doing? And there are also a few level two or three ones…”
Those people realized with surprise that the zombie crowd moved away from the fence wall and stopped in the isolation area, then lined up horizontally and blocked the roads around the fence wall.
Before long, an over ten-meter wide zombie wall was formed.
After giving out that roar, Lin Qiao left the zombie crowd and headed straight to where Duan Juan and her people were. In a few minutes, she found the roof where those people were hiding, and showed up on the edge of the roof.
“Stop hiding and just come out! Relax, those zombies won’t come here,” she said blandly to the empty roof.
No one showed up within tens of seconds.
But, she waited quietly and patiently.
About half a minute later, Duan Juan slowly walked out from behind a pile.
She nervously moved to the edge of the roof and looked down at the surrounding area. Unexpectedly, she found a group of zombies quietly standing in a straight line at the isolation area around the fence wall of the base which was located hundreds of meters away.
“What… What is going on?” She stared at those zombies with surprise.
