Chapter 705: Catch Fang Xiulin
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Chief, the food that we took from Hades Base and Earth Dragon Base this year can last us for a long time, but can’t solve the problem brought by the poor harvest. Why don’t we move to Earth Dragon Base? After all, the soil in that base is much better than ours,” said the vice leader. The farming work hadn’t been going well in Hidden Cloud City Base in the recent few years. The soil in that base either grew nothing, or just grew mutated plants. There was barely edible food grown from the farm.
However, moving was never easy. About eight hundred thousand people were living in the base. The base leaders couldn’t possibly protect everyone on their way to the new base, and the zombies would reduce the population on their way.
Currently, the rich population was heavily increasing the burden on the base, yet the base could not reduce the population.
From another angle, by moving the entire base, the population could be filtered. Only the people who adapted the environment would survive while the weak ones would be sifted out.
Fang Xiulin blinked, then responded with, “We’ll discuss it when Lu Zhuofeng is back.”
Clearly, he approved that idea, but it required the approval of the other two base leaders too.
“Give them full meals this year. They might not be able to taste the food next year.” The vice-leader thought for a moment and then said.
“Alright, go and make some arrangements,” Fang Xiulin nodded.
After the vice-leader left, Fang Xiulin started thinking carefully about his suggestion. The winter in Hidden Cloud City was freezing cold, and the summer was scorching hot. Fang Xiulin couldn’t stand the awful weather since long ago.
However, to move the entire base, all the weapons and supplies would need to be s.h.i.+pped safely. No accidents were allowed to happen. Without the protection provided by the fence wall, huge groups of zombies would follow them on their way. Also, they mustn’t let Sky Fire Base people know about that, because Sky Fire Base would never give up such a perfect opportunity to break them.
The base was large. To secure the weapons and supplies, they had first to s.h.i.+p them to the new base secretly, then escort the residents there.
While Fang Xiulin was thinking about how to s.h.i.+p the supplies to Earth Dragon Base, Lin Qiao sneaked into the conference room. She wasn’t able to read Fang Xiulin’s mind, but could sense some thoughts from that vice-leader, who was at a lower level.
She blinked, then figured out what Fang Xiulin and the vice-leader were thinking about.
The geographical condition of Hidden Cloud Base had always been terrible, but their population was large. They had rich storage and great powers, but the food problem could still not be solved. Superpowered people needed food too after all!
During the past few years, they had tried everything they could, yet the situation was never better. Therefore, they had no choice but to give up on the old base and look for a better place to live.
Lin Qiao planned to leak the news to Sky Fire Base when Hidden Cloud Base people started to take action. Those two bases would certainly start a war.
But, before Hidden Cloud City Base’s action, she would give them a heavy strike to ruin their plan and force them to evacuate immediately. Then, Sky Fire Base would be finis.h.i.+ng the story for her.
A sharp beam of light flashed across Lin Qiao’s eyes while she was thinking. Fang Xiulin had to die!
Sitting behind the conference table, Fang Xiulin suddenly sensed a stream of coldness running down his spine. He paused briefly, then looked around with confusion.
Lin Qiao turned her eyes away from him when he raised his head. He was very sensitive.
Fang Xiulin looked around but found nothing strange. So, he lowered his head and continued his work. Right at that moment, a loud boom was heard through the window.
“What’s going on out there?” Fang Xiulin immediately raised his head and shouted.
One of his subordinates rushed into the conference room and said, “I don’t know. I’m going there now to see what’s happening.”
“Go,” Fang Xiulin looked out of the window with a serious face; his eyes wore a fierce look.
Lin Qiao walked to the window and looked outside. Lin Kui was in that area. He had jumped into action already.
She quickly turned, approaching Fang Xiulin.
Fang Xiulin was waiting for his subordinate to come back to tell him what was going on. He had no idea that a killer was in this large and empty conference room, preparing to end his life.
As Lin Qiao was about two meters away from him, he blinked and then wore a vigilant look. He seemed to have sensed something.
‘Someone else is here!’
Right at that moment, Lin Qiao rushed up to him, swiftly reached out an arm, and clasped his shoulder.
Fang Xiulin had a bad feeling when he sensed some energy from the air. He attempted to move backward, but before that, someone grabbed his shoulder. He immediately raised an arm to get rid of that invisible enemy, but unexpectedly, he found himself in a strange place in the next second.
The chair that he was sitting on and the table that was before him were both gone. He stepped backward as soon as he could and supported his body with one leg, then raised his head to look around. Next, a sullen look emerged on his face.
He was in a weird, dim patch of woods. The trees were tall, looking very alike. As he raised his eyes, he saw the fog coiling on the treetops.
A second ago, he was still in the conference room, and now, he was there in this strange place. He understood that he was dragged into that place just now when the enemy clasped his shoulder.
“Who are you? Show your face!” Fang Xiulin looked around and shouted coldly.
If he had guessed right, he was in a s.p.a.ce! Was the enemy a s.p.a.ce possessor?
After giving a shout, Fang Xiulin quickly thought of that possibility. It must be a s.p.a.ce possessor who was able to turn invisible! What the h.e.l.l was that? Could the s.p.a.ce power develop invisibility?
The s.p.a.ce possessor must be at level-seven, or he would be able to make that s.p.a.ce explode. But, how could s.p.a.ce possessors upgrade so easily? Among all known s.p.a.ce possessors, the strongest one was only at level-six.
That man was a vice-leader of Huaxia Base.
After thinking it through, Fang Xiulin instantly boosted his energy and released it as much as possible.
Strong gales rose from around him, containing waves of sands. The gale roared in the woods, yet delivered no effects to the trees in that place.
Soon, Fang Xiulin realized that he wasn’t able to release his powers to the largest extent!
He was suppressed! How was that possible?
He was shocked. He was at the peak of level-seven, a breath away from level-eight; moreover, he was dual-powered. In combination, the wind and sand power could be stronger than pure wind power. If Lu Zhuofeng didn’t break into level-eight before Fang Xiulin, he wouldn’t be a match for the latter.
Therefore, it was beyond his imagination that he was actually suppressed in someone’s s.p.a.ce.
