Chapter 482: Strike First
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Feng’s eyes glowed as he clapped his hands and said, “That’ll work! I almost forgot about Qingying’s metal power. Both her and Wenwen have been having a low presence lately.”
“Yes, that’ll work. Take the opportunity to strike first instead of waiting until Long Yubai arrives at our place. I guess he doesn’t know that we already know about his whereabouts yet. We need to destroy some of his weapons before he approaches the zombie wall, or those ordinary zombies won’t last for long,” Wu Chengyue nodded, as he too felt that Yuan Tianxing’s plan would work.
The other three nodded in agreement as well.
Those weapons were indeed very destructive. A cannonball would wipe out a giant number of zombies. Despite the huge population of zombies in the city, the zombie wall would eventually collapse under his heavy fire.
“Where did Long Yubai find all those powerful weapons,” Wu Chengyue looked at Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng, abruptly throwing out a question. He had heard that Long Yubai had joined hands with some other bases to attack the Hades Base. Those powerful weapons didn’t look like something the Earth Dragon Base should have.
Wu Chengyue guessed that Long Yubai borrowed those weapons from other bases. As for why those bases lent him those weapons, there might be some secret deals to make that happen.
“So… whom should we send with Qingying?” Chen Yuting asked, “We’re already short-handed, but that mission definitely needs a capable squad.”
Hearing that question, both Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng stayed silent to think about the men under their command.
Chen Yuting was right; they were short-handed indeed. Long Qingying was a level-five superpowered person, and her power was special. So, her safety needed to be ensured.
Long Yubai’s armed vehicles were already very hard to deal with. Apart from those, he might have some other weapons too, which couldn’t be told for sure right now.
They needed to send someone equally powerful with Long Qingying to protect her. Currently, Long Qingying, Du Yuanxing, Li Zheng, Cheng w.a.n.gxue and Lin Wenwen were the only level-five ones in the base. Lin Wenwen was also at level-five, but she had s.p.a.ce-power, so she didn’t count.
Right at that moment, the door was knocked again. Feng Yuming opened the door and let in a young lady who looked like a high school student, but with dark eyes and green pupils.
“I can protect her. But when I leave, someone else needs to guard this place. Can you guys do that?”
Yun Meng walked in. She was talking to Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng, but her weird black-green eyes were fixed on Wu Chengyue.
That was quite an obvious hint.
Yuan Tianxing and the others immediately turned to Wu Chengyue as well. The look in their eyes wasn’t as straightforward as the one in Yun Meng’s, but clearly, they were almost begging him for help.
“Alright! Since you’ve mentioned it, I’ll do it. I’m your partner anyway. Of course, I won’t just sit aside and watch when you’re having a trouble,” Wu Chengyue spread his hands and responded with a smile.
Yun Meng then turned to Yuan Tianxing and said, “No one is more suitable than me. If you go, I’d have to send a high-leveled zombie to open the gate for you. So, I might as well go by myself.”
She was very confident about her current power. Added with the fact that the area outside the base was crowded by zombies now, she was indeed the most suitable person for the mission.
“You alone?” Yuan Tianxing looked at her with concern, “You and Qingying alone? It’ll still be too dangerous for you two girls.”
He wasn’t worried about their abilities, but about the fact that they might not be able to figure out what Long Yubai was attempting.
“Don’t you believe in my abilities? Or, don’t you believe in my IQ?” Seeing the look on Yuan Tianxing’s face, Yun Meng actually knew what he was thinking. So, she directly threw out a question.
To respond to her, Yuan Tianxing, Lin Feng, and the others nodded together.
Yun Meng’s face was no longer covered in scales, and she was able to talk now. However, she had impressed Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng too deeply before when she was still that crazy Mengmeng. So now, those two men just didn’t manage to adapt the sane-looking Yun Meng for a short while.
After all, Mengmeng used to play with Xiaolu and Tongtong, and look like a kid.
Seeing their expressions, Yun Meng was a little unhappy. They asked her for help, but didn’t trust her. What did that mean?
She snorted, then turned her face away and said, “Alright, since you don’t think that I can do it alone, tell me, who do you think should go with me?”
After saying that, she pulled a chair out from under the table and casually sat down. She then crossed her arms before her chest and turned her face further away.
As the young zombie lady got a little grumpy, Yuan Tianxing hurriedly gave her a smile and said, “It’s not like that. We’re just worrying that Long Yubai might play some unexpected tricks to hurt you. After all, he’s such a sneaky guy.”
Only after hearing his more tactful words did Yun Meng turn back to look at him.
Lin Feng thought for a moment, then said, “Du Yuanxing is not here now. So, Lin Hao, Lin Yu and Lei Yao will go with you. What do you think?”
“Sure!” Yun Meng nodded with a faint smile.
Soon, Yun Meng, Long Qingying, Lin Hao, Lin Yu, and Lei Yao went out of the zombie wall and headed toward where Long Yubai was.
Yun Meng and her team left the base at noon time while Long Yubai and his people waited until Huang Tianfei woke up that afternoon and then started moving. Therefore, when they started moving, Yun Meng and her people were already pretty close to them.
Not long after Yun Meng and her people exited Upper City District and entered Jianggan District, she told her team members to stop moving.
“Wait a moment!”
The others stopped immediately. She seemed to be the youngest among the whole team, but she was the strongest. Also, she had been acting calmly the whole time today, completely different from that old crazy Mengmeng.
So, the others in the team automatically followed her words and stopped moving.
“What?” Long Qingying asked curiously.
Yun Meng leaned her head forward and sniffed at the air, then turned and said, “Wait! I need to find a higher spot to confirm it.”
After saying that, she hopped onto a branch nearby, then climbed on top of that tree. After that, she came out of the crown of the tree and leaped onto the tall building aside.
At last, she climbed on top of a taller building and stood on the tallest spot on the roof, then carefully sniffed toward Jianggan District, seeming to be sensing something. Two minutes later, she leaped off that building which had over twenty floors, quietly and nimbly landing on the ground.
“They’re over there, about five miles away from us. They’ve started moving toward us,” Yun Meng walked over and said to her team.
Long Qingying looked at Lin Hao and said, “Five miles… Should we sneak over or ambush them here?”
Lin Hao thought for a moment. He rested both hands in his pockets, and his handsome face wore a grim look. “We’ll do both. First, we sneak over to spy on them, then ambush based on the situation!”
