Chapter 640: The Entertaining Show
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Go, stage the show that we have prepared,” Liu Zhinan said to Lai Chengkang, who was standing behind him.
Lai Chengkang was a Deputy Chief; average-looking, about thirty years old; not tall, but not short either. He was the kind of man who could become perfectly invisible in a crowd of people.
“Yes, sir!” He nodded with composure and replied. After that, he quickly turned and left.
Soon, the others saw him show up on the fence wall around the square with two people. One man by his side reached out his hands toward the barbed wires. Following his move, the wires started extending, soon sealing the entrance and capping the whole area.
Just like that, the wires were turned into a giant iron cage.
The two-hundred zombies were locked up in the cage, yet they didn’t care. They were all focusing on that man who was hanging in the air.
The fence wall around the square was only five or six-meters tall at first. But all of a sudden, it grew to about twenty meters tall, instantly darkening the light in the square.
At that point, the door at on the bottom of the wall from where the human bait was brought was opened again. A group of people carried in two zombies, which were entirely tied up.
Those two zombies lay there quietly with their eyes closed.
Soon, those soldiers in exposure suits came back into the square and put the two zombies each on one side of the square, then injected something into their bodies.
“Eh? What are they doing? They are not the show that you mentioned, are they?” Gao Haoyun from Heilong Base looked at the square with curiosity.
“Ah, they are both at level-three. As we all know, intelligent zombies are all territorial. So, when a zombie’s territory is invaded by a same-level zombie, or when two same-leveled zombies are in the same place, they will certainly start a fight until one of them has won. So now, the first show we have prepared for you is zombie fight,” Liu Zhinan smilingly introduced the show to the others.
“Ah, I see… It’s interesting!” Lu Zhuofeng’s interest was aroused.
“The first show? Are there more shows after that?” Wu Chengyue smiled while looking down at the square without changing his expression.
“Sure! There is, of course, more than one show. Otherwise, you won’t be having enough run. Am I right?” Liu Zhinan nodded and responded.
After injecting something into the two zombies’ bodies, the group of soldiers quickly evacuated from the square.
In about twenty seconds, the two zombies which were lying motionlessly on the ground opened their eyes simultaneously. Their eyes were purely dark, with no pupils to be seen.
Five years ago, those eyes could scare people to death. But at present, no one would be frightened by those eyes anymore.
They had all gotten familiar with it.
The two zombies blinked, and then had their eyes glowed. Next, they both realized that they were tied up, and instantly started struggling. At the same time, they fixed their eyes on each other.
Puff! Puff! The ropes on them weren’t strong enough, so they soon freed themselves.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
The two level-three zombies immediately charged at each other.
“They are both at the verge of level-four. So, if one of them eats the other, it would be able to upgrade. Therefore, in order to break into a new level, they will both try their best to kill each other,” said Liu Zhinan, still with a smile.
The two level-three zombies’ presence and the violent vibe of attacking that radiated from them instantly threw the ordinary zombies in the cage into silence. The two darted up to each other, ignoring the surrounding things. They could see nothing but the same-level opponent in their eyes.
They would be able to break into a higher level if they dug out another level-three zombie’s nucleus and ate it.
They were both as level-three. In both terms of strength and speed, they had gone far beyond ordinary human beings. While launching attacks, they liked to move on all fours and have their eyes fixed right on their opponents.
They each had a mark on their necks: one red and the other blue.
“Do you wanna bet which one will win? I bet on the red one,” Hu Zhiyong said smilingly.
“Eh? Can we do that? Good! Let’s me see… The blue one looks good! I bet on the blue one with a level-five zombie nucleus! Haha!” Lu Zhuofeng threw a zombie nucleus on the table and laughed.
“I bet on the red one!”
“Blue!”
“Blue!”
The others got excited as well. As people had made a bet, they all stared at the two zombies with great interests.
Only Lan Lu and Wu Chengyue were looking down at the square absent-mindedly. One of them was wearing a smile, and one was expressionless. No one could tell what they were thinking.
Lin Qiao was standing on the fence wall, looking down. She glanced at the people in the building and saw them put zombie nuclei on tables. Then, she read Lai Chengkang’s mind and learned what those people had been doing at the moment.
‘A show?’
A beam of light flashed across Lin Qiao’s eyes as she curved her lips in a smile. She had decided to liven things up for those people.
Having decided that, she leaped off the fence wall. The antidote had spread long ago, and she was watching since the beginning. She felt nothing from the antidote which was burned by fire. Clearly, it couldn’t affect her at all.
She climbed onto the iron cage, then swiftly flashed to the two level-three zombies. At that point, the two were fighting intensely. But in the next moment, the two zombies suddenly froze.
“Eh? What’s wrong?” Seeing that, people who had been watching the fight happily were all confused.
“Eh?”
“Why did they suddenly stop?”
Soon, the violent vibes from the two zombies faded. They just quietly stood in the square, looking at each other.
That was right. They stopped fighting and just stood there, looking at each other without making any move.
“Eh? What’s going on? It’s not a part of the show that you arranged, is it?” Bao Chengzhi, a leader of Mongols Base, couldn’t help but turn to the Huaxia Base people.
“No! We didn’t arrange that! How did that happen?” Liu Zhinan was deeply confused as well. He turned and looked at Hu Zhiyong and Si Kongchen.
The two were also looking at him with confusion.
“Why did they stop fighting? They’re not going to shake hands and make up, are they?” said Lu Zhuofeng.
In a few seconds, the others all turned to him with a weird look. That was because once he finished talking, the two level-three zombies each reached out a hand and shook with each other.
“d.a.m.n! I… I was joking!” Lu Zhuofeng was stunned.
