Chapter 839: The Drug From Green Mountain
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The middle-aged zombie glanced at Lu Tong’s body, which was torn and bitten, then turned and leaped onto a building nearby. Soon, he showed up on top of a hotel building on the other side of the base.
That hotel was located outside the fence wall of All Beings Base, and was larger than the old hotel in the base. Lin Qiao prepared to build the zombie base in that area.
After the meeting that took place a couple of days ago, Lin Qiao asked Liu Jun to help Qiu Lili and Yun Meng move the home of her zombies to the new hotel, because the old hotel was about to be torn down.
She had moved there herself as well. Of course, she lived in the largest suite in the hotel. She had moved in not long before Lin Hao came for dinner.
The zombie walked downstairs and found Lin Qiao’s door. Two zombie kings who quietly guarded by her door made no reaction when they saw the middle-aged male zombie.
Zombie number three knocked on the door, which was soon opened from the inside. Duan Juan looked at him and nodded, then let him in.
“Did you deal with him?” Lin Qiao was sitting on the couch and reading a map. Seeing the zombie come in, she asked casually.
“Yes!” The zombie nodded and responded with the hoa.r.s.e voice, then took out Lu Tong’s energy nucleus from his pocket and handed it Duan Juan.
Duan Juan took it over.
“Alright, you can leave now,” Lin Qiao nodded and said expressionlessly. With that, the zombie turned and left in less than two minutes after he came in.
“It’s only a level-three nucleus. Is there anything special about it?” Duan Juan didn’t understand why Lin Qiao sent the zombie to kill Lu Tong and dig out his nucleus.
“It’s useful for me,” Lin Qiao took over the nucleus and then crumbled it. The glowing crystalline nucleus turned into a small puff of powder in her palm. After that, she sensed that a new small s.p.a.ce had emerged in her s.p.a.ce. She was surprised because that level-three s.p.a.ce was larger than she had thought.
Normally, the s.p.a.ce of a level-one s.p.a.ce possessor could be two cubic meters at most, and the s.p.a.ce of a level-two s.p.a.ce possessor could be as big as an average-sized closet. A level-three s.p.a.ce was normally the size of a bathroom, or slightly bigger.
However, the s.p.a.ce that emerged inside Lin Qiao’s s.p.a.ce after she absorbed Lu Tong’s s.p.a.ce energy was tens of meters squared. In fact, that small s.p.a.ce grew larger after it merged with the energy in Lin Qiao’s s.p.a.ce, but she didn’t know that yet.
She, of course, would not let someone like Lu Tong live. It was difficult for him to survive outside, yet he still had a chance to live. If he ever made it to Sea City Base, he might try to hurt Lin Wenwen when he had a chance.
After all, Lin Wenwen had ruined his plan.
Therefore, Lin Qiao sent a zombie to kill him. Nothing could be safer than a dead man.
The next day, Lin Qiao met the people from Green Mountain Base in the conference room. She first looked at the ones who had their faces covered and talked to them.
“Show your faces. Everyone here knows what you are. You guys look as eye-catching as superman in his suit.”
Lei Cheng, Ye Yingyue, and the three zombies all felt speechless. Which part of them looked like superman?
“Tell me about the deal that you want to make with us. What do you have, and what do you want from us?” Lin Qiao sat down and leaned against the back of the couch, legs folded and arms crossed before her chest. She had guessed that they wanted something about zombies, but was curious about what they were going to offer.
Weapons and food were precious at the moment, yet her base wasn’t short of those.
Hearing her words, Ye Yingyue quickly turned and took out a finger-long gla.s.s test tube from her bag. The test tube was half full of a light-yellow liquid.
“This is a new type of drug that we have developed. After being injected with this, a person will be unattractive to zombies for fifteen days. In other words, this drug can make human bodies lose attraction for zombies within a short period. It can turn humans from what zombies like the most into what they hate the most. Are you interested?” Ye Yingyue introduced the drug to Lin Qiao with excitement.
Hearing her introduction, Lin Qiao paused briefly, then looked at drug with surprise. A bright beam of light flashed across her eyes. Judging by the proud look on the girl’s face, she was not lying. Lin Qiao could also feel that she was telling the truth.
She didn’t expect to see that drug. The duration of the drug’s effect was only fifteen days, but it was already quite impressive.
If all humans could use that drug, zombie-hunting would be much easier than it was now, because the zombies would turn and run once they smelled the drug, especially the ordinary ones.
“Can I take a look at it?” Lin Qiao was obviously interested in the drug.
Ye Yingyue generously handed the drug to Shen Yujen, who had walked to her side.
Lin Qiao took it over, then opened the lid and sniffed at it. She immediately sensed a strong odor that was very disgusting for her. She quickly put the lid back on and knitted her eyebrows into a deep frown.
That smelled seriously awful, like rotten corpses… very nasty.
“What do you want in return for such good stuff?” Lin Qiao rubbed her own nose with one hand and put the drug far away from her body with the other. Shen Yujen quickly took it over from her hand and put it on the table behind her. She did that with a nervous look, as if what was contained in the test tube was a bomb.
Just now when Lin Qiao opened the lid, Shen Yujen had sensed the smell as well. That was really terrible!
“You know that they live in our base. We aren’t asking for much. We only want to know how you healed the faces of your zombies. We want to fix their faces, so they don’t need to cover their faces again at least,” Ye Yingyue said with a warm smile. Her big eyes were filled with thirst for knowledge. While speaking, she pointed at the three zombies beside her, who had already taken off their masks,
She also wanted to know why Lin Qiao’s zombies were able to talk, and why they were so smart. The zombies in Green Mountain Base weren’t as smart as the ones in All Being Base. Except for the special chairman, all the other Green Mountain zombies only had the intelligence of nine-year-old kids.
However, Ye Yingyue was also aware that she should not ask for too much at one time. Every base had its secrets. She and her people decided to ask for one thing this time and leave the rest for the future.
Lin Qiao blinked, then curved her lip corners in a mysterious smile. “So, are you offering to trade the drug for benefits for your zombies? I’m surprised that you’re treating them this way. Capturing them and studying them sounds more reasonable.”
