Chapter 1092: Arriving at Sky Fire City
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
About ten miles away from Sky Fire Base, four modified off-road cars were parked in a secluded spot in an old residential area. Lin Qiao was standing on top of a building, looking at Sky Fire Base. Standing behind her were Xie Dong and Duan Juan.
Xie Dong came over to meet Lin Qiao once he sensed her vibe.
“I’ve sent people after every hunter group that came out of Sky Fire Base recently, but I haven’t heard any of them talking about your true ident.i.ty. I think Sky Fire Base leader hasn’t spread the word about you yet,” Xie Dong reported to Lin Qiao about the news that he collected during these days.
He secretly sent his men after every hunter group from Sky Fire Base to eavesdrop on their conversations. As for the hunter groups which had members over level-six, he would follow them himself, in case his subordinates exposed themselves accidentally.
Not a word about Lin Qiao was heard from any of the hunter groups that he and his subordinates had followed recently.
“I heard that more and more people have gone missing in Sky Fire Base, all of whom are superpower possessors from Hidden Cloud City Base and Earth Dragon Base. Currently, the hunter groups in Sky Fire Base have split up. On one side are the original residents of Sky Fire Base, and on the other are those who joined that base this year or last year,” said Xie Dong.
“Based on the current situation, those original Sky Fire Base residents seem to know something while the people from Hidden Cloud City Base and Earth Dragon Base are worried and panicked. They haven’t found out anything yet, and all clues have been erased. However, more and more superpower possessors are going missing.”
Lin Qiao folded her arms before her chest, supporting her full b.r.e.a.s.t.s with her forearms. While listening to Xie Dong, she connected what he said with Ye Yingyue’s words.
“Didn’t you say that you found Li Zhengye hiding the corpses of the failed experiment subject somewhere? How come those worried superpower possessors haven’t discovered the corpses yet?” she asked.
“No. Only hunters from Sky Fire Base know about that. Also, they seemed to have been forbidden to tell anyone else. I think it’s a secret,” Xie Dong shook his head.
Standing beside him, Duan Juan thought for a moment and said, “Why did Li Zhengye keep those bodies? The experiment has failed, so why didn’t he burn them? It’s easy for people to find those corpses if he kept them, isn’t it?”
Xie Dong pondered briefly, then nodded, “I have the same question. I tried to find out why, but the time was so limited. So far, I haven’t found any useful information yet.”
Lin Qiao thought for a second about it. If she were Li Zhengye, she would, of course, not leave any trace for people to find when she was doing such experiments. So, why did he keep those corpses? That didn’t make sense…
Based on Li Zhengye’s personality and style of acting, he shouldn’t have kept those corpses. Perhaps, it wasn’t him who did that. Was it someone else? His subordinates might secretly hide those bodies if they were not loyal to him.
“Didn’t you sneak into the base to try and find out the truth?” Lin Qiao looked at Xie Dong and asked. Sky Fire Base had a very strong defense system. However, it wasn’t difficult for him to get in. He was a zombie king after all; he was strong.
“I did. But you got here once I started…” Xie Dong spread his hands helplessly. He was in Sky Fire Base before he sensed Lin Qiao’s vibe. However, he sensed her vibe coming near before he could find Li Zhengye’s experimental base.
“Haven’t you found out where Li Zhengye has been doing his secret experiments?” Lin Qiao gave him a glance and figured out what he was thinking.
“No, I haven’t,” Xie Dong shook his head.
“Give me the map of Sky Fire Base,” Lin Qiao thought for a moment and then said to Duan Juan. The latter quickly took out the map from her bag and spread it on the roof near the guardrail. Xie Dong found a few cement pieces and put them on the corners to prevent it from being blown away.
Lin Qiao carefully looked at the areas and buildings which were marked on the map. Then, she pointed at a commoner area at the edge of the base and said, “So, Lin Kui, you will stay here later while I lead the others into the base to look around. I’ll give you a signal tonight. After receiving my signal, you will summon the surrounding zombies to circle up this base. Stay ten miles away from the safe zone of this base.”
While speaking, she drew a circle around the entire Sky Fire Base with her finger.
“It’ll take some time to encircle the base, so I’ll give you a night for you to gather the zombie crowd. Tomorrow morning, you’ll make moves under my instructions. Be careful and don’t let anyone notice the zombie crowd. If any human beings approach, bring them under control.”
“I understand,” Lin Kui nodded.
“After we have killed Li Zhengye, we still need to lure out the mysterious man. I’d like to know what he’ll do when the Sky Fire Base is surrounded by a zombie crowd.” After saying that, Lin Qiao turned and summoned all the other zombies under her command.
“Mo, Qingxian, stay here to a.s.sist Lin Kui. The others, come here and stand in a line.”
Except for Lin Kui, Mo, and Ye Qingxian, all the others flashed up to Lin Qiao and stood in a straight line, including Duan Juan and Xie Dong. Lin Qiao waved a hand and threw out a rope, which was caught by others. In the next second, they were all brought into her s.p.a.ce.
“Stay here and wait for my order,” Lin Qiao gave them instruction and then disappeared. Duan Juan and the group of zombies glanced at each other, then walked onto the stairs before the house and sat down in a line.
After coming out of her s.p.a.ce, Lin Qiao turned herself invisible and flew toward Sky Fire Base.
She had become a zombie emperor. Ten miles of the distance would only take her tens of seconds now.
Landing on top of the twenty-meter-tall fence wall, she looked into Sky Fire Base, then sniffed the air to search for Li Zhengye’s scent. Next, she flashed off the wall and followed his scent into the base.
Li Zhengye was hurting his own people. She planned to expose his evil deeds and then see how the residents in his base would react. It would be a good thing for herself anyway. For any base, it was a taboo to use the residents in the base as experimental subjects. What Li Zhengye had been doing was suicidal.
It was early in the morning, and many sounds could be heard in the base already. After a few leaps, Lin Qiao arrived at Li Zhengye’s building. She landed on his balcony and expressionlessly looked at the quiet apartment. Clearly, the base leader was still in bed.
