Chapter 618: Steal From Themselves
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Qiao watched those people nimbly flash across the darkness like ghosts, perfectly dodging the people who had been searching around. Anyway, those people had no idea that someone was watching their every move. They tried to avoid the area which would be searched, while leaving.
They roved around in the base for a couple of hours. Then, instead of trying to get out of the base, they slowly moved toward the building that all the base leaders lived in.
Lin Qiao followed behind them, her eyes showing a surprised look.
She saw those people avoid the guards by the main entrance and move to the other side of the building where the guards couldn’t see, then quickly and smoothly open a hidden door and get in.
Before the last man entered the building, Lin Qiao suddenly showed up, threw him into her s.p.a.ce, and then followed the others into the building. Without being noticed by anyone else, she actually replaced that man with herself.
She put on a facial mask and a hat. Behind the door, the light was dim. Human eyes couldn’t see things clearly in that place, so the others had no idea that Lin Qiao had managed to mingle with the team.
In the dim light, those people did a quick nose count. As they found nothing strange, they kept moving forward. None of them noticed that one in the team went missing while they were moving. They went down for a few floors through the stairs and entered a dark room.
They shut the door, then turned on the lights. Next, they quickly took off their hats and masks and put them in a bag.
After that, they finally relaxed slightly.
At that point, Lin Qiao saw their clothes and badges clearly, and then raised her brows slightly.
Those people were actually from Huaxia Base! Lin Qiao got close to them and read their minds. From their thoughts, she learned that they had received a secret mission—Steal that zombie from their own place, then secretly send him to a new place and hide him there.
Apart from that, they knew nothing.
Lin Qiao understood why. From the angle of the administrators of Huaxia Base, that zombie needed to be one hundred percent safe. Therefore, merely hiding that zombie was not enough, as Huaxia Base people clearly know that many other bases had their eyes on the zombie. Therefore, they came up with an idea which allowed them to create a chaos to divert people’s attention while secretly moving the zombie to a safer place.
People from many other bases were now in Huaxia, and they all knew about the base. So, once the zombie was stolen, those bases would immediately start suspecting each other. They would all be misguided, and within a short span of time, no one would suspect Huaxia Base.
Also, as the zombie was stolen, Huaxia Base would release the news, saying that they might not be able to provide any more antidote for other bases. Since the most important source of the antidote was stolen, they surely wouldn’t be able to produce any more of it. In that case, Huaxia Base would have a reason to raise the price of the antidote, which would be sold at the grand meeting this time.
They would only provide a small amount of antidote this time, but that wouldn’t change the fact that it was a very good invention. Without a doubt, the other bases weren’t planning to use it directly on zombies. They wold certainly study it as well. Perhaps, they would be able to discover something valuable from the antidote.
That… was the true value of the antidote.
Lin Qiao nodded silently. That was indeed a good plan. A beam of light flashed across her green eyes as her lip corners curved in a wicked smile.
Huaxia Base did her a big favor by stealing that zombie from their own place! The zombie had already been brought to her. What reason did she have not to accept it?
With that thought, Lin Qiao released a few wisps of dark mist and sent them slowly to the group of people.
There were less than ten people in that team, yet they were all pretty powerful. Judging by their energies, they were all at level-five or above. Their leader was a level-six.
As Lin Qiao released the dark mist, the leader-like man suddenly frowned and turned to the door as he said, “Wait! Where’s Weishe?”
Hearing him, the others immediately turned to the door, then looked around the room. As that man said, one team member had gone missing.
“He was right behind me!” A team member by the door said confusedly.
“That kid often falls behind! He might show up later,” said someone else.
“That’s not right. It’s impossible for him not to feel how important this mission is! He’ll never leave without permission during such an important mission! Erwei, go out and find him!” The leader slightly knitted his brows, his eyes glowing with a sharp light.
“Yes, sir!” The team member near the door responded immediately, then turned and opened the door before quietly walking out.
As the door was closed gently, the people in the room were no longer relaxed, all wearing a serious look.
Right at that moment, Lin Qiao clenched her fist. Following her move, the dark mist which had reached up to those people’s heads from around their feet immediately drilled into their ears. Meanwhile, Lin Qiao showed up by the side of that level-six man and gripped his throat with a hand.
“You’re right. He didn’t leave… I killed him,” Lin Qiao said to him with a low voice.
“Eh…”
“Ah…”
Except for the team leader who was in Lin Qiao’s hands, all the others suddenly froze, their eyes unfocused. Next, blood slowly flew out of their eyes and ears.
Thud, thud, thud… The group of people fell to the ground. A series of m.u.f.fled thuds was heard in that room, which wasn’t large.
“Er… eh…” The man in Lin Qiao’s hands was still struggling. He opened his eyes so widely that those eyeb.a.l.l.s seemed to even fall out of his eye sockets. His face reddened, mouth gaped like the mouth of a fish which was exposed in the air. A strange noise was uttered from his throat.
He pulled Lin Qiao’s wrists with both hands, but she didn’t even move an inch.
Lin Qiao didn’t waste more time on him, but put forth her strength through her palms.
Crack! Following the m.u.f.fled noise, the team leader tilted his head, dropped his arms, and then collapsed to the ground.
Lin Qiao relaxed her grip, then waved a hand and released a stream of dark mist. The mist covered the dead bodies on the ground. Before long, no one but Lin Qiao and the frozen zombie were left in the room.
The man who was thrown into Lin Qiao’s s.p.a.ce felt being dragged by someone before entering that strange place. His eyes were dazzled, and then, he found that he had entered this strange place.
He saw woods, with weird-looking trees. He had never seen a tree like that before. Those trees had metal leaves, black trunks, and were extra tall like ancient trees!
As he raised his head to look at that strange woods with surprise, a strange sound was suddenly heard from behind him. He turned and saw a pair of rhombic eyes staring at him coldly.
