The people who were left outside glanced at each other. Lin Qiao raised her head confusedly, then looked at the others and said, “Eh, did I say something wrong?”
Yuan Tianxing shook his head and sighed, “No, you’re right. I guess she just can’t accept what you said at the moment. After all, she was like a princess back in the Hades Base. Now, she needs to learn to grow up.”
Long Qingying expressionlessly crossed her arms and said, “She has to. Chief’s protection is gone, so she really needs to learn to protect herself.”
In the bedroom, Lin Wenwen was leaning against the door and listening to their conversation. She gently took her hands away from the door, then walked to the dressing table and sat down.
She spent a while staring at the long-haired girl in the mirror, then lowered her head to glance at the s.h.i.+ny black hair before her chest. She picked up that hair with both hands and stroked them for a few seconds, then took a deep breath. After that, she abruptly took out a pair of scissors from the drawer, then picked up a lock of hair and started cutting it from near her ear.
In the living room, Lin Qiao wasn’t interested in the fighting sounds from the outside. Instead, she was teaching the little one to draw with great interest. Uproars could be heard from around this residential area, as people were all curious about what was happening in the base center, and what caused those loud sounds.
At that moment, the upper floors of that the administration building in the base center had already been severely damaged.
Yang Chao was floating in the air, stepping on a tornado, while Wu Chengyue was standing on the roof with his hands behind his back. He was tall and slim, wearing an over-knee dust coat, looking serious and handsome. The lower hem of his coat fluttered in the wind, exposing his long and straight legs.
He slightly raised her chin. His handsome face was wearing a faint smile while he coldly looked at Yang Chao, who was in the midair.
The people around the building had all been confusedly watching the scene on the roof, and the people who were in the building had all been evacuated.
Above Wu Chengyue’s head was a ma.s.sive, dense dark cloud, which even darkened the entire area. Rumbling thunders could be heard from the dark cloud from time to time, with bolts of lightning flas.h.i.+ng across.
Zou s.h.i.+hui was standing before a French window of a room on a middle floor of the building. The window gla.s.s before him was shattered entirely by the attacks which were launched by the other two base leaders and himself just now.
“Yang Chao has been secretly running a dangerous virus experiment on some people from this base. For that reason, the people who went missing within the past few months have all died. The number of victims has gone beyond five-hundred. Chief Wu, I, and the other administrators have come to an agreement that Yang Chao and the people who have taken parts in the experiment under his order will be expelled from the base. The name list will be released very soon. For the peace of the base, we will punish them together,” Zou s.h.i.+hui’s resonant voice was heard from the tall building.
“What? It was he who kidnapped those people! Virus experiment? What virus experiment?”
“Have they all died?”
The crowd which gathered around the building was immediately stirred up. Those people could scarcely believe what they had heard, and also didn’t agree with the order of expulsion.
“Why are we letting them go? They have killed so many people! We can’t let them go! They have to pay for what they’ve done with their lives!”
“That’s right, Chief Zou, we can’t let them go! We should kill Yang Chao, that lunatic! How dare he run an experiment with living human beings! This is unforgivable!”
At that moment, Zou s.h.i.+hui responded, “Don’t worry! Yang Chao is the chief culprit. We don’t place to let him go. Just watch what Chief Wu can do.”
Yang Chao floated in the midair and sneered, “Wanna catch me? Are you able to do that?”
While speaking, he suddenly waved a hand toward the crowd on the ground. A roaring gust of wind was immediately sent toward those people.
“Ah!”
“Hold something!”
“Hide! Hide!”
The people on the ground instantly forgot about the show that they had been watching. Under the threat of the wind, they hurriedly looked for shelter. Some of them who reacted slowly were brought into the air, flipping in the air and then thudding against the ground. Some others were directly blown to the ground, rolling.
Following a series of thunder, a few purple lightning bolts descended from the sky, striking at Yang Chao.
Yang Chao quickly moved to another spot to dodge. However, before he stopped moving, the lightning almost landed on his head.
On the roof of the administration building, Wu Chengyue reached out his hand and drew a line toward Yang Chao. Following his movement, arm-thick lightning bolts fell toward Yang Chao’s head wave after wave.
As a possessor of wind power, Yang Chao was weaker at attacking than Wu Chengyue was, but was the best at dodging. He moved fleetingly and didn’t let Wu Chengyue’s lightning touch his body.
“Hehe, is that all that a lightning-powered man can do?” While dodging, Yang Chao still had the mood to mock Wu Chengyue. His voice was spread to a long distance away by the energy inside him.
Wu Chengyue pointed his long and lean fingers at Yang Chao. Wherever he pointed at, lightning bolts would fall into that area.
After hearing what Yang Chao said, he gave a faint smile and responded, “Would you like to know what lightning power can do? I’ll fulfill your wish.”
Having finished talking, he suddenly spread his fingers, then clenched both fists and swung his arms downward. In the next moment, the sky above Yang Chao’s head was darkened, as dark clouds suddenly pressed down on his head. Waves of lightning bolts descended together, falling toward Yang Chao like a rain.
By the time Yang Chao raised his head to find out what was happening, it was already too late. The lightning rain didn’t affect a huge area, but had the coverage of about twenty-meters squared, and was falling extremely fast. No matter how fast he could run, he wouldn’t be able to dodge this.
“Ah…” Yang Chao tried his best to wrap himself up with the wind and move toward the outside as quickly as possible. But to his surprise, the horrible lightning rain actually moved with him.
Soon, he was covered in lightning bolts and struck onto the ground.
Seeing that Yang Chao had no chance of winning, Tang He abruptly turned and prepared to leave.
“Freeze! Wanna run?” Zou s.h.i.+hui had been keeping an eye on Tang He the whole time. As the latter started drawing back, he immediately chased.
Yang Chao fell on the ground, but wasn’t harmed severely because he was protected by a gust of wind. Upon landing on the ground, he happened to see that Tang He was trying to leave.
“What kind of a helper did you find? He decided the run once the situation turned bad for him. Smart!” Wu Chengyue leaped off the building and stood on a utility pole near Yang Chao as he smiled faintly.
