Chapter 703: Invade The Hidden Cloud City
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Qiao spent a while listening to the conversation, then turned and left. She a.s.sumed that Hidden Cloud City people were not going to do anything for Earth Dragon Base people, and would have s.h.i.+pped their supplies and food to Hidden Cloud City. Earth Dragon Base was now under their control, but they had no plan to develop it.
That had nothing to do with her though. Earth Dragon Base had fallen, and it deserved that.
All buildings in the commoner area were filled with people, which was why people built sheds. The area was crowded, with poor security. In that place, the managers and soldiers were the bosses. They didn’t need a reason to shoot people. One rule of living there was not to go against the ones with guns. Anyone who offended them might be killed.
Lin Qiao found a quiet area where no one was and brought Li Zheng and his squad out of her s.p.a.ce.
“Mingle with these commoners. When the base center becomes chaotic, take the opportunity to encourage them to rise in rebellion,” Lin Qiao gave her order.
“Yes, ma’am!” Li Zheng nodded, then turned and quickly left with his people.
Meanwhile, Lin Qiao hopped onto a roof and moved toward where the managers of that area were.
Hidden Cloud Base had three leaders and eight vice-leaders. One leader and three vice-leaders had died. So now, Lin Qiao needed to deal with two leaders and five vice-leaders, as well as the managers of each district of the base.
Soon, she arrived at a neighborhood unit which looked normal with average-sized buildings that were seven-story tall at most. The neighborhood was guarded by a lot of armed soldiers. The people living there were some important managers and superpowered people from the area.
Lin Qiao entered the neighborhood, found a corner, and released Keng-keng, the zombie queen.
“Keng-keng, half an hour later, kill everyone in this place. Do not miss any superpowered one!” Lin Qiao said to the young female zombie, who looked very confused.
“Roar… roar… roar…” ‘Keng… keng… keng…’
The zombie looked at Lin Qiao and said the word ‘keng’ repeatedly, but also nodded to let the latter know that she understood her meaning.
“Go,” Lin Qiao waved at her, then turned and disappeared.
Then, she quickly moved to another district, released a zombie king, and gave him the same order. Before long, she had put six zombie kings and queens in the eight districts in the outer area of Hidden Cloud Base.
After that, she entered the center area of the base and brought Yun Meng and Lin Kui out of her s.p.a.ce.
“Do what I told you before,” Lin Qiao left them a few simple words, then turned and quickly left to search for her targets.
The order that she gave the six zombie kings and queens was simple—kill all managers and superpowered people. The superpowered people who lived in the outer base were at level-five at most.
However, she gave Yun Meng and Lin Kui two different missions—kill Mu Chengfeng, one of the three leaders and a possessor of green power, as well as the other level-six people in the base, including the five vice-leaders and some important base administrators.
Hidden Cloud City had a lot of superpowered people. Apart from for the five vice-leaders, there were others at level-six as well.
Lin Qiao sent Yun Meng to kill Mu Chengfeng and Lin Kui to deal with the five vice-leaders. Meanwhile, she herself went for Fang Xiulin, who had both wind and sand power.
In a garden community near the base center were quite a few apartment buildings. Those were the best buildings in town; they were still new.
All level-six people in the base lived in that area, including the leaders and vice-leaders. Lin Qiao arrived at that place and looked around. According to the information that she gathered back in Hades Base, she soon found Fang Xiulin’s building.
Fang Xiulin lived on the seventh floor. Each floor had merely two apartments. Fang Xiulin lived in one apartment alone, and the other apartment on that floor was for his parents.
Lin Qiao went up to the sixth floor and knocked on the door of Fang Xiulin’s sister.
“Who is it?” Someone answered the door.
Lin Qiao didn’t say anything, but knocked on the door again.
“I’m coming, coming… Stop knocking!” The person in the apartment soon responded, seeming about to open the door.
As the footstep sound came to the door, the door was opened. A woman, about thirty-years-old, stood by the door and looked outside confusedly.
“Eh? No one?” The woman murmured to herself. She looked around again to make sure that there was really no one out there, then closed the door.
She couldn’t have noticed that when she opened the door, a wisp of black fire slid into her apartment and disappeared under the foot of the table.
She did not lack crisis awareness. She opened the door easily, because no one could enter normally the area without permission. Besides, everyone in the base knew who she was. Who would have the guts to mess with a base leader’s sister?
“Who is it?” A man’s voice was heard from the bedroom.
The woman turned and responded with, “No one.”
“No one? How is that possible?” The man in the bedroom said with confusion and then walked out.
He sat on the couch in the living room, picked up a cup, and poured himself some water. After drinking half of the water, he put down the cup and said, “I heard the knock on the door. How can there be no one? Has whoever knocked the door left? Is there anything at the door?”
The woman shook her head and said, “Nothing was there.”
“Was that a prank?”
“What kind of people dare to make pranks on us?”
“Who was that then?”
Both of them felt strange about the door knock. None of them could figure out who exactly knocked on the door. Was it a bad guy? What kind of bad guy dared to break straight into the building? Not to mention the fact that they were a base leader’s relatives, they were both at level-five and were not weak.
The woman thought for a moment, then suddenly recalled that the food was still on the stove. So, she hurriedly turned and walked into the kitchen.
A tiny flake of black fire rose from behind the couch. It didn’t touch anything but split into two wisps. The smaller wisp drifted to the man’s ear and soon drilled in.
The man’s expression changed suddenly. He opened his mouth but didn’t utter any sound. Then, he froze, and the l.u.s.ter of his eyes quickly faded.
The other wisp of fire flew into the kitchen. Before long, that wisp of fire flew back out and flashed across the man’s body while the first fire wisp flew out of the man’s ear. The two weird fire wisps merged into one and drifted toward the door.
Next, a figure showed up by the door.
Lin Qiao raised a hand and took back the fire, then turned and opened the door to walk out. She closed the door from the outside, locking the two lifeless bodies inside the apartment.
She didn’t leave immediately, but walked to the door across the hall, then stood there and turned invisible. Soon, the door was opened, and an about ten years old boy came out, heading toward the door in front of him.
