Hearing Long Yubai ask if Huaxia Base would save some antidote for themselves, He Mu nodded and said, “Of course, they will save some for themselves! They’re not dumb.”
“Then how much can we get this time?” Long Yubai asked with a look of concern, “We don’t even know the exact amount of the antidote, and we’re going to compete against Sea City Base, Heilong Base, Mongol Base, and the other large bases.”
He Mu looked at him as he thought for a moment and responded, “As far as I know, Huaxia Base will put no more than two-hundred doses on sale… Ten grams each dose. In fact, the number of doses that they’ll announce this time isn’t the most important thing. They only want the other bases to know that they’ll develop better antidotes in the future.”
“I see,” Long Yubai nodded and said.
‘Long Yubai’s cleverness has overreached itself, ‘ Lin Qiao thought while listening to their conversation, ‘He actually doubts Lu Zhuofeng’s words and refuses to believe that Wu Chengyue has already broken into level-eight.’
That was reasonable though. Wu Chengyue had lightning power; his energy was incompatible with the other types of energies. For that reason, it was surely difficult for him to upgrade.
Long Yubai had no idea that when he doubted Lu Zhuofeng’s words and purpose, he was also doubting the truth.
‘No matter what he thinks and wants from Huaxia City, he’s not going to be there.’Watching Long Yubai finish talking and leave, Lin Qiao thought.
After Long Yubai left, He Mu closed the door, then walked to the window and looked down at the crossing downstairs. Lin Qiao stood beside him, looking down as well. Soon, they saw Long Yubai and his subordinates drive away. He wasn’t heading to where he lived, but to a vice leader’s place.
Before long, the car was driven onto the road leading to that vice leader’s home.
Lin Qiao sniffed toward that area. She hadn’t sensed that vice leader’s scent, but she knew who he was. That was Ye Hao, the strongest vice-leader under Long Yubai’s command. He had green power, and his power was rather special.
After knowing about Yun Meng’s superpower, Lin Qiao actually didn’t see Ye Hao’s power as a unique type of power. Their powers both belonged to a branch of green power—animal. Among all green power possessors, many had the power of plants; so of course, some owned the strength of animals.
Yun Meng was a possessor of animal power. Lin Qiao had no idea how she attained that power though…
Ye Hao was much stronger than Yun Meng, and had the wolf power. He was able to turn into a wolf and do what a wolf could do.
He was like a Chinese version of a werewolf.
That wolf was obsessed with Long Yubai, and the latter liked him very much as well.
After watching Long Yubai leave, He Mu started thinking about his words. He started to believe that Lu Zhuofeng was lying. Many people had predicted Lu Zhuofeng’s upgrade. After all, all the base leaders he knew had been stuck at level-seven for quite a long while. One of them would finally make the breakthrough first.
Many people had seen that coming.
However, Lu Zhuofeng said that Wu Chengyue from Sea City Base was also at level-eight. That was a surprising news. Breaking into level-eight was not an easy thing, after all.
There was a reason for people to doubt what Lu Zhuofeng said about Wu Chengyue.
“Thinking so much won’t help!” He Mu suddenly heard a strange woman’s voice while he was thinking about what Long Yubai said.
“Who is it!” He Mu gave a start, then immediately turned back. Meanwhile, he felt that someone had dragged his collar. As he turned around, he found himself in a strange place.
Lin Qiao talked to shock him, and also to make him relax his vigilance at that moment. By the time he came back to his senses and turned vigilant again, he was already dragged into her s.p.a.ce.
“Who are you?” He turned around. Instead of the living room that he was familiar with, he saw a green gra.s.sland. More weirdly, it was dark a second ago. But now, the world before his eyes was dim and misty, like at dawn.
He was a level seven powerful being. Yet, he was stunned upon finding himself in a strange place. He managed to stay calm though. When he saw Lin Qiao, he was at least able to ask who she was with composure.
“I’m the one who’s going to kill you,” Lin Qiao looked at him with a blank face.
“Kill me? How ridiculous!” Hearing her words, He Mu paused briefly, then gave a sarcastic grin. “Do you know who I am? Kill me? Are you even capable of that?”
“You’re just a metal-powered pig. What capabilities does it require to kill a pig?” Lin Qiao sneered.
He Mu was a fat guy, a lascivious and twisted-minded one. He weighed one-hundred and twenty-five kilograms, and was short. Comparing him to a pig was not wrong.
He hated others calling him fat the most. Hearing Lin Qiao call him a pig, he exploded right away. A metallic light glowed from his body. Within a blink, the pig became a metal-armored pig.
“Em, do you think that boiling water can’t kill you anymore when you become a metal pig? Ah… that wasn’t right. I don’t have boiling water in this place, but I have fire! Let’s see if my fire can burn your metal body!” Lin Qiao said to He Mu smilingly.
“You! Shut up!” Being called metal pig made He Mu even more infuriated. He pointed at Lin Qiao and cursed loudly. Meanwhile, he turned and reached out an arm toward the small building behind Lin Qiao, attempting to turn all the metal objects in that building into his weapons.
However, that small building made no response to his movement.
His expression changed drastically. He frowned, then raised his arm higher toward that building. Still, that building stayed motionless.
“Save it! You’re not going to move any metal object in that building,” Lin Qiao started talking in a cold tone. Meanwhile, a flake of dark fire popped in her palm.
He Mu froze shortly upon hearing her words. Then, he twirled and saw the fire on Lin Qiao’s palm, stunned.
“You! Who are you?” That fire was so familiar to him. He believed that the strange woman in front of him was not supposed to have it.
This time, Lin Qiao didn’t answer his question, but swung her arm and sent the dark fire toward He Mu. Next, the fire suddenly disappeared from her palm.
Once she made that movement, He Mu wore a frightened look. He automatically turned and ran; but in the next moment, a raging black fire burst from his body, causing a loud boom.
“Ahhhh!” He Mu uttered a shrill scream when the black fire swallowed him. Then, he fell on the ground and started rolling like a black ball of fire.
