Even though they believed the result, they couldn’t imagine what exactly happened. So, their curiosity was aroused.
Hearing what they said, Wu Chengyue looked at Lin Hao and the others in surprise as well.
‘Eh? Long Yubai ran away? What happened? Wasn’t he here to start a fight?’
Before he could figure it out, Lin Hao answered the question, “It’s thanks to Mengmeng. She’s fierce! She put down Long Yubai’s people in no time! Even Long Yubai himself was kicked flying away by her! The rest of us just cooperated with her. Qingying released her metal power on the sly and broke their weapons. After that, they were firing at themselves. Long Yubai might e thinking that Mengmeng is a metal-powered zombie queen. Those weapons could barely harm her, and his water power was broken by her. I think that’s why he got scared.”
The others were all stunned, looking at the squad in shock.
Long Qingying said, “In fact, Long Yubai is really afraid of death. He had the courage to come here because he had those weapons and combat vehicles, as well as a bodyguard. However, Lin Ruifeng took a beating from Mengmeng and vomited blood once the fight started, and some of those combat vehicles were destroyed by us. So, he was frightened.”
“You said that Long Yubai thinks Mengmeng is a metal-powered zombie queen. Why? Didn’t he see Qingying?” Yuan Tianxing asked with confusion.
Lin Hao nodded and responded, “I guess no. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so scared and run away so quickly.”
Their mission was only to stop Long Yubai or destroy his weapons. Therefore, they didn’t spend the time and energy to chase him after he ran away.
Besides, Mengmeng was the only one powerful enough to kill him. When he ran away, Mengmeng didn’t seem to want to chase him. So, Lin Hao and the others didn’t ask her to.
“I think you’re right. Long Yubai has always been a cowardly back-stabber. He panicked and ran away because he saw the situation getting out of control.” Thinking about what Long Yubai had done before, Lin Feng nodded in agreement.
“It was because he underestimated us,” Long Qingying added.
Wu Chengyue laughed, “Ah, so I didn’t do any actual work around here.”
“That’s not true. You’re the strongest being in this room, and you being here makes the rest of us feel safe,” said Yuan Tianxing smilingly. Then, he abruptly changed the topic, “Mengmeng is already at level-seven. Indeed, she shouldn’t be afraid of Long Yubai.”
Lin Hao said, “You guys have no idea how quickly Long Yubai ran. He suffered one kick from Mengmeng and then immediately turned told his people to retreat.”
“Yeah! We didn’t chase him. However, we killed Huang Tianfei, the man who guided Long Yubai and his people here. I think we should tell Liu Jun about this later on,” Long Qingying continued.
…
Long Yubai was scared away by Mengmeng. Moreover, he didn’t yet know that Yang Jianhua, who stayed in Hades Base, was already killed.
That afternoon, Lin Qiao killed Yang Jianhua in her s.p.a.ce and then brought Liu Yu out. After exiting her s.p.a.ce, they showed up in Yang Jianhua’s office.
“Where are the triggers?” Lin Qiao asked.
“Huo… Huo Wu has it,” Liu Yu answered her question very carefully. Looking at Lin Qiao who was wearing a pair of sungla.s.ses, he just couldn’t conceal the fear in his eyes.
‘Who on earth is this woman! She actually killed Yang Jianhua! He had just broken into level-seven! Yang Jianhua died! He died before he could even tell anyone about his upgrade!’
‘This woman did not only kill Yang Jianhua, but she can also control high-leveled zombies! Even level-six zombies! She’s horrifying!’
Liu Yu thought that Qiu Lili the zombie queen was under Lin Qiao’s control because inside the s.p.a.ce, Qiu Lili did whatever Lin Qiao said.
“Huo Wu? Who is that?” Lin Qiao asked.
That name sounded quite familiar. Why?
Liu Yu immediately responded, “A Great Captain from Earth Dragon Base. He has fire power, and he broke into level-six recently.
Lin Qiao crossed her arms before her chest and scratched her chin while thinking.
Fire power? From Earth Dragon Base? Recently broke into level-six? Em… She felt as if she had heard that name somewhere else before.
Right at that moment, a series of footsteps were heard, and then a familiar scent could be sensed. Soon, someone shouted at the door, “They’re almost ready down there. Shall we make a move?”
Along with that voice, a man walked in and paused briefly when he saw Lin Qiao.
“Oh, where is this pretty lady from? h.e.l.lo, lady! May I ask your name?” At the sight of Lin Qiao, that man had his eyes glowing as he excitedly walked to Lin Qiao and talked to her.
Liu Yu pointed at him and said to Lin Qiao, “This is Huo Wu.” Cold sweat had been oozing out of his forehead.
Hearing Lin Yu’s words, Huo Wu laughed proudly, “Eh? Have you been talking about me? Yeah, I am Huo Wu! Pretty lady, what can I do for you?”
He stared straight at Lin Qiao. The latter was wearing a pair of sungla.s.ses, but her face was delicate, skin was flawless, and body was perfectly shaped. Especially notable was the fact that she had enormous b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
Huo Wu was even more interested in her when he learned that Lin Qiao and Liu Yu were talking about him just now.
Lin Qiao curved her lips in a smile, saying, “Ah, you! We’ve met before. I guess you don’t remember it.”
What she said made both Huo Wu and Liu Yu puzzled for a second and look at Lin Qiao with surprise.
Huo Wu laughed and asked, “Eh? Have we met? Where? I don’t think so! How can I ever forget about meeting a pretty lady like you?”
Huo Wu was so attracted to Lin Qiao that he even forgot why he came here. He was all about talking to the pretty lady now, so he even failed to notice that Yang Jianhua was missing. He didn’t get the meaning of Lin Qiao’s smile until she said a name.
“Oh, don’t you remember? Then, do you remember Yang Cheng?” She said with a faint smile.
Huo Wu paused for a second, looking at Lin Qiao with confusion. After that, his smile faded from his face.
“Do you know Yang Cheng? What’s your relations.h.i.+p with him?” He stopped smiling and asked, still confused as before.
Lin Qiao walked to Yang Jianhua’s desk with a smile, then leaned against the edge of the desk and crossed her arms before her chest.
“Ah, I killed him,” she said, “I also saved Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying from you. Have you forgotten about that?”
Hearing that, Huo Wu paused again, then showed a sullen look and looked at Lin Qiao coldly.
“Are you that s.p.a.ce-powered person?”
