Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Tianyi, who was squatting in the vegetable field and growing seedlings, abruptly sensed Lin Qiao’s vibe. He turned back and was astonished by the b.l.o.o.d.y body carried in Lin Qiao’s hand.
‘d.a.m.n! Where is this dead man from? Lu Tianyu didn’t kill him, did she?’
Right when he had that idea, Lin Qiao answered his question, “Ah, I killed him. Do you know who he was?”
While speaking, she dropped the body to the ground, then walked to the bucket nearby and fetched some water from it to wash her hands. After was.h.i.+ng the blood off her hands, she turned back and glared at the smart young male zombie, “You, stop! That’s not for you! You’re not allowed to touch it!”
At that time, that smart zombie was drooling over the body.
‘Why did you bring the body in here? Who is it?’ Lu Tianyi recovered from the shock and looked at her confusedly.
Lin Qiao glanced at him and responded, “This is the leader of Earth Dragon Base. I’m going to hang his body on the Administrative building of his base.
Lu Tianyi popped his eyes. He couldn’t even believe what he had heard.
‘Chief! A Chief of a base! He was a level-seven superpowered man, wasn’t he? Yet he was killed by her! How did she do that!’
Lin Qiao gave him a glance. Knowing that he had been underestimating her, she smiled faintly and said, “In the morning, I’ll take you out to watch a show.”
By now, people must have already found out what happened in Ye Hao’s place. The guards would certainly search all over the base for him and Long Yubai. In the end, they would realize that not only were Long Yubai and Ye Hao missing, but He Mu and Lin Ruifeng were also gone.
But still, it might take them the whole night to search.
Lu Tianyi looked at Lin Qiao with disbelief. He knew that Earth Dragon Base was her destination, but didn’t know that she was there to kill their leader! She did it so easily and quickly, like killing a rabbit.
He didn’t know that the fatso that Lin Qiao earlier killed in her s.p.a.ce was a vice-leader yet.
…
At dawn, the army was still searching around the base nervously. In the administrative building, the last Deputy Chief of the base, the remaining base administrators, and Lu Zhuofeng, who was the leader of Hidden Cloud City Base, were all sitting in the conference room.
“Based on what we’ve found in Ye Hao’s place, they were definitely under attack. But, we haven’t found them or their dead bodies. No one knows whether they were dead or alive.” Lu Zhuofeng sat before the conference table with his elbows on the table, his head rested on his fingers.
“Who on earth was it? That person didn’t leave any trace. I’m surprised that he or she actually attacked Ye Hao. Ye Hao’s sensations are sharper than that of ordinary superpowered people by many times over. It’s said that the scream which people heard last time was from him. I think he’s not going to survive. He’s been missing for so long…” The only level-six person, who was also the last Deputy Chief of the base, started talking.
His name was Jian Shengtong. He was thirty-years-old, average-looking; neither handsome nor ugly. He was the kind of person who could perfectly disappear in a crowd.
He was a possessor of fire power and was at the top of level-six, only a breath away from level-seven.
At that moment, Lin Qiao, whom he described as someone who didn’t leave a trace, was standing in a corner of the conference room and listening to their conversations.
She didn’t kill Jian Shengtong, because his status in Earth Dragon Base was a little different and complicated.
He was not an ambitious person. Instead, he liked peace. He was against Long Yubai back when the latter decided to attack Hades Base, because he knew that many humans would suffer harm once the war started. Hades Base was also a human survivor base, and the people who lived there were human survivors too.
He understood that once Long Yubai attacked Hades Base, the people who lived there would suffer pain or die in the war.
Human population had already dropped drastically since the apocalypse. He believed that under the current situation, humans should help each other for survival, and that it was really wrong to start wars among human survivors.
However, his opinion changed nothing, because he could not stop Long Yubai’s ambition, neither stop him from coveting the supplies and weapons that Hades Base possessed.
He had talked to Long Yubai many times about that. At last, the latter forbade him from entering the administrative building and getting close to himself.
Many people in the base liked and respected Jian Shengtong. Otherwise, Long Yubai would have killed him long ago.
When Long Yubai, Lin Ruifeng, Ye Hao, and people from Hidden Cloud City Base and Sky Fire Base started the war against Hades Base, Jian Shengtong stayed in the Earth Dragon Base.
Lin Qiao surely knew well enough about him, as he was on the enemy’s side. She didn’t touch him this time, but only killed Lin Ruifeng and Ye Hao who took part in that war.
“Deputy Chief! We can’t find Deputy Chief Lin and Chief He from Sky Fire Base. They’re not in their rooms. We’ve searched around, but didn’t find them. They’re missing!” At that time, the soldier who was sent to inform Lin Ruifeng and He Mu returned and made his report.
“What? They’re not in their rooms? Don’t you know where they went?” Jian Shengtong looked at him with surprise.
“We’ve asked around. Their neighbors said that they never walked out of their rooms!” The soldiers responded.
“Did you find anything strange in their rooms then?” Jian Shengtong stood up and asked.
“We had been to Deputy Chief He’s room last night, but didn’t stay for long. People living there said that he didn’t come out after we left. Nothing strange was found in his room either… As for Deputy Chief Lin’s place… His cousin’s body was found in the bedroom.” The soldier answered the question.
“What! Body? Lin Ruihua?” Jian Shengtong was shocked by that news.
He knew that Lin Ruifeng was living together with Lin Ruihua. So, by cousin, he surely knew that the soldier was talking about Lin Ruihua.
“Yes, Lin Ruihua’s body is in the bedroom. Someone is already there doing a necropsy, but the result hasn’t come out yet… However, the room is messy! Also, there’s something strange in the living room too,” the soldier continued.
“What’s strange in the living room?” Jian Shengtong couldn’t stay calm anymore.
Ye Hao and Long Yubai were missing, which was already bad enough. And now, He Mu had disappeared as well. Now, he found that a murder had happened in Lin Ruifeng’s place, and Lin Ruifeng himself had gone missing as well.
Within a single night, so many important people went missing. The consequences were going to be serious.
Jian Shengtong was a mild person, but at that moment, he was a little panicked.
“There’s one spot in the living room. It’s dark, as if something was burnt there… But, that area isn’t big. It’s really weird!” The soldier answered the question with a frown.
“What do you mean? What is weird?” Jian Shengtong asked with confusion.
