Chapter 544: She Has That Kind Of A Plan?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“She has that kind of plan? I need to tell my sister about it!” Lin Wenwen caught up with Yuan Tianxing and said with surprise.
“Okay. I was going to find her and tell her about it, but I’ve been working the whole while. Since you know of it, you should tell her,” Yuan Tianxing nodded. “Tell your sister that Yan Fangyu is very interested in those zombies she saw while coming in,” he continued. “She believes that we certainly have a way to control those zombies. I’ve told her part of the truth, that some people in this place are indeed able to control zombies, and I told her to catch a few zombie leaders and train them. I didn’t tell her about the people who can control zombies or the method.”
“She actually wants that! She wants you at first, and now she wants the secret of our base! That woman is so annoying! How could I not tell that she was that kind of person before?” Lin Wenwen pressed her lips together and said grumpily.
She didn’t blame Yuan Tianxing for telling Yan Fangyu part of the truth. Whatever he did, she would support him.
“I’m going back to tell my sister about it,” Lin Wenwen turned and prepared to leave.
“Eh, wait, you haven’t explained what you just said yet. What did you mean by ‘in case she seduces me’? What did your sister mean?” Yuan Tianxing stopped her.
“Oh, my sister said that that woman has bad intentions toward you. She might not make a direct move now, but you should still be careful of her. She might set a trap for you,” said Lin Wenwen sulkily.
‘It’s all your fault. You’re too handsome!’ Lin Wenwen thought , ‘You’ve attracted a large b.u.t.terfly.’
“Eh… Set a trap? Why will she set a trap for me?” Yuan Tianxing asked with confusion.
“My sister said that that woman isn’t as nice as she looks. Em, you should watch out. Sooner or later, you’ll see her real face.” After saying that, she turned and left, “Alright, I’ve delivered the words to you. Make what you will of it. I am now going to deliver your words to my sister.”
She walked to the door while speaking, then opened it and left.
Yuan Tianxing was left confused, watching the door close. He wondered why Lin Qiao sent Lin Wenwen to tell him to be careful of Yan Fangyu. Was it because she cared about him?
Yuan Tianxing was delighted for less than a second, and then turned disappointed.
He realized that he was overthinking. He and Lin Qiao were army friends for years, so she couldn’t possibly let him face danger and say nothing about it. Also, as the leader of this base, she should care about her people. After all, that might become a factor harmful for the base.
…
On the other side, Lin Wenwen went up to the fifth floor, over to Lin Qiao’s room. The rooms on the fifth floor were a.s.signed under consideration. The ones who lived near the stairs were Lin Qiao, Qiu Lili, Yun Meng, Xie Dong, Liu Jun, and Shen Yujen, who had memories and humanity. The rooms which were far away from the stairs were occasionally used for the other zombies to live in.
Therefore, when some human beings came up to this floor, they would be able to find the people that they needed just near the stairs.
“So, she’s planning on that. I’ve told you that she’s not a simple-minded woman. If she figured out how we have been controlling those zombies, she could certainly expect a rise of status in her base,” Lin Qiao smilingly shook her head after hearing Lin Wenwen’s words, then continued, “Alright, just go back and rest!”
After Lin Wenwen left, Qiu Lili and Yun Meng, who were both in the room, started talking. “Why is that woman getting more and more annoying? She actually has that kind of plan! I bet she’ll never guess out that we’re the ones who have been controlling those zombies. There’s no method. We just suppress them naturally!”
Lin Qiao smiled faintly and said, “You don’t understand how much can it change the world if people learned how to control zombies. Imagine, if every base mastered that skill, would people still be afraid of zombies? Without the threats that come from zombies, people would be able to live safely in the post-apocalyptic era, wouldn’t they? They might even be able to limit the upgrades of zombies. If that happened, I believe that zombies would be destroyed by human beings in a few years, and human beings would be able to rebuild their homes.”
For human beings, that would be a new era. How could that not be world-shaking?
“Wow! If what you said is true, we’d all be destroyed by then,” Qiu Lili said with fear.
“We won’t be destroyed, but we’ll certainly face a disaster,” said Yun Meng with a grim look as her eyes glowed in a cold, green light.
“Don’t worry! I won’t let Yan Fangyu find out about us. I’m also planning to dig into those two people who showed up earlier with zombies. I want to know how they have been working together with those zombies,” Lin Qiao said while scratching her chin.
Just when she finished her words, her fingers which were scratching her chin paused abruptly, and then she turned her head.
By the time Qiu Lili and Yun Meng noticed her motion and expression, they found her disappearing from the room. The two of them could only glance at each other at that point.
Downstairs, people had all returned to their own rooms. No one except a few soldiers stayed outside, guarding the stairs.
Yuan Tianxing completed a phase of his work, then put away the drawing and stood up to leave the conference room. The door of the conference room was still guarded after he left, as many files about the base were in there. That room was an admittance of administrators only.
Not long after Yuan Tianxing left, a dark figure suddenly showed up behind the guard, then covered his mouth with one hand while the other hand gripped his throat.
The figure quickly dragged the soldier who didn’t manage to struggle toward the door. He abruptly put down the hand which was covering the soldier’s mouth, opened the door of the conference room, and then quickly and quietly dragged the soldier in.
The door was soon closed. No one heard what happened here.
At that moment, the soldier who was dragged into the conference room had frozen in the darkness.
Dim sparks of light were seen in his opened mouth and nostrils, and then a dim red light glowed in his stomach and throat. Soon, the red light went down to his chest from his throat and spread all over his chest, then reached the rest of his body.
The red light shone inside the soldier’s body for about ten minutes, then dimmed and disappeared.
A pinch of carbon dust was left in the darkness, almost invisible.
The dark figure moved his feet to sweep the dust away, then turned the mini flashlight in his hand on and started to rummage in the room gently and carefully. He had no idea that when he dragged the guard in and closed the door, an invisible being was leaning against the door, quietly listening to the slight noise that he made.
