Soon, Zou s.h.i.+hui came over in haste.
“What did your man say? Fangyu tried to steal the secrets of Upper City Base? How can it be possible? Why would she do something like that? For what?”
Wu Chengyue stood up behind his desk as he pointed at the couch and said, “Have a seat, then I’ll tell you about it.
Zou s.h.i.+hui sat down, his eyes still filled with disbelief. He looked at Wu Chengyue and asked, “What on earth happened? How could Fangyu possibly do something like that? Maybe there’s some kind of misunderstanding.”
Wu Chengyue looked at him and said seriously, “It’s not about whether there’s a misunderstanding or not, neither about why did she do it. They’ve already sent a man to inform us about it, so it’s clear that they’ve already captured her. So now, what we need to think about first is how to get her back. They definitely won’t let her go easily, because she killed a man.”
“Why did she do that?” Zou s.h.i.+hui asked, “We should at least figure out why before we make any decision. What made her do that? Also, do you really believe what they said? Is everything they said true?”
Wu Chengyue looked at him blandly, saying, “I don’t. I’ve already sent out my people to dig into it. However, they have the zombie wall, so we can’t find out the truth immediately. In order to prepare for what might happen, we now need to think of it as something that has happened for real.”
“No. I still don’t believe it,” Zou s.h.i.+hui knitted his brows and said, “Can this be a trap that those Hades Base people have set for us?”
Wu Chengyue looked at him confusedly, saying, “Why would they set a trap for us? Our cooperation started not long ago, so doing that will not benefit them. After all, their base isn’t far away from ours. They are no match for us, so they won’t want to turn us into an enemy.”
‘That’s what the people who can only see the surface and don’t know that that female zombie is able to control zombie crowds will think.’ Wu Chengyue didn’t say the last sentence out loud.
Based on what he knew about the female zombie, she wouldn’t just make up a lie. So, there must be a problem.
In fact, Wu Chengyue was inclined to believe the Upper City Base people, because he knew what kind of person Yan Fangyu really was while Zou did not.
Zou s.h.i.+hui still didn’t want to believe that Yan Fangyu would do something like that, but Wu Chengyue’s words convinced him that it could not be a trap.
Wu Chengyue was right. Those Hades Base people had just started to build their new base, so now was not the right time to start a war. Therefore, they did not have a reason to turn against Sea City Base. Not to mention the fact that Sea City Base had been helping them. They would not requite kindness with enmity, would they?
“We’ll know if it’s true when we get there. Now, we just can’t guess how they will deal with it. If what their man said is true, they certainly will not let her go easily. They’ll bring up a condition, or ask for something,” Wu Chengyue said.
Zou s.h.i.+hui nodded; Wu Chengyue was right. When they got there and saw Yan Fangyu, they would know what exactly happened.
“When will you leave? Do you need me to prepare anything for you?” Zou s.h.i.+hui looked at him and asked.
“Not for now. I’ll talk to you after I talk to them. I’ll send someone back to let you know the result by then. Just prepare yourself for what might happen. If Deputy Chief Yan really murdered someone, things will be troublesome,” Wu Chengyue said.
“Alright, I get it. But, no matter what, you need to bring her back unharmed,” said Zou s.h.i.+hui.
“Of course, I will. Don’t worry. Yan Fangyu is a Deputy Chief after all. Those Upper City Base people don’t dare to do anything to her. I’ll leave in a while. If there’s a news, I’ll let you know as soon as possible,” said Wu Chengyue.
Soon, Wu Chengyue, Wu Yueling, and his people sat in a few off-road cars, leaving the base for Upper City Strict.
He didn’t bring many people. After all, he didn’t plan to turn it into a war. Bringing too many people with him would only make Upper City Base people misunderstand; and if that happened, they might change their att.i.tude.
Wu Yueling had clearly realized that his father was taking her to her Zombie Mom, so she appeared to be very happy. From time to time, she turned to look outside the car window, and then turned back to look at the front.
“Alright, sit tight! You might fall off,” Wu Chengyue moved her backward, in case she might slide off her seat.
In Upper City District, Lin Qiao was on the roof, a.s.signing tasks to the group of zombie leaders.
All high-leveled zombies in Lower City District had been taken out by the zombie old man and the other two, so they needed to go in three different directions now.
Lin Qiao ordered the zombie old man and the zombie boy to lead zombie number one to four to Gongshu District, and then sent the middle-aged male zombie and the other two zombie leaders to Jianggan District. After that, she asked Yun Meng to bring the last level-four zombie to Binjiang District.
In the same day, Lin Feng and Lin Hao had started off as well.
Lin Qiao wove a lot of gra.s.s beads with the gra.s.s leaves from her s.p.a.ce and a slight amount of her blood, then told Lin Feng and some of the others to wear them. In that way, the zombie crowd near the base would automatically make way for them when they went out, and the other ordinary zombies wouldn’t dare to approach them.
She only gave those gra.s.s beads to the few trusted people, but didn’t let the others know.
Among Lin Feng’s team, Lin Feng, Lin Hao, and Lin Wenwen had received the gra.s.s beads; on Li Zheng’s side, only Li Zheng, Lin Yu, and Feng Yuming, who was very afraid of zombies, got them.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a s.p.a.ce-powered zombie,” Lin Qiao suddenly realized it. She wished that there would be a s.p.a.ce-powered one among the zombie crowd out there. Then, she would be able to order that zombie to collect some supplies for her. Lin Feng and his people were still too inefficient after all.
Liu Jun and Shen Yujen, who were watching a group of zombies cut trees and weed with their claws, silently turned their eyes back to Lin Qiao.
Earlier that day, Lin Qiao abruptly released tens of level four and three zombies from her s.p.a.ce and sent them to the uncultivated land and the hills around the sweetcorn field to destroy all the weeds and trees there.
Liu Jun and Shen Yujen wondered how other people might react and feel if they saw that. Both of them looked pretty stunned, and did not know what to do now.
“That’s true. The zombies with special kinds of superpowers are rare. The chance for human beings to trigger those powers is already very low, and I guess it’s even lower for zombies,” Liu Jun nodded.
She was right. s.p.a.ce-powered zombies did exist, but were very rare.
Till now, not one of them was seen in the south and east China. Some had heard that one was found in the North, but no one knew how that story ended.
Liu Jun turned to Lin Qiao with a meaningful look on her face once she finished talking. Despite the low chance, one powerful s.p.a.ce-powered zombie was standing right in front of her!
