Chapter 708: That’s What She Wanted
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Qiao came out of her s.p.a.ce, only to hear explosions and heavy gunfires from everywhere and people screaming and growing.
Lin Qiao didn’t interfere with the missions of the others, but headed straight toward the entrance.
After spending one hour waiting on top of the fence wall near the entrance, she finally saw the first zombie who accomplished the mission and returned. That was not Lin Kui or Yun Meng, but Xia Ri, the zombie king. The tall and strong zombie hopped onto the fence wall; a strong b.l.o.o.d.y scent could be sensed from him. He looked at Lin Qiao seriously; his killing intent hadn’t been eased yet.
He reached his b.l.o.o.d.y claws toward Lin Qiao. Held in his hands were some sparkling energy nuclei at the levels of three, four, and five.
“Keep them. Don’t waste them. They’ll be useful in the future,” Lin Qiao didn’t take over those nuclei, but said to him in a bland tone.
Xia Ri’s fierce eyes showed confusion. But still, he obediently put those nuclei in his pockets, then b.u.t.toned up his pocket.
Mo returned after Xia Ri. The metal-powered female zombie had an expressionless but delicate face. Her vibe was as strong and hard as her power.
As same as Xia Ri, Mo took out a handful of energy nuclei and handed them to Lin Qiao. She was wearing a pair of combat mittens gloves.
“You can keep your own trophies, no need to give them to me. However, without my permission, you can’t eat them or use them,” Lin Qiao shook her head, then said to the two zombies.
That was a habit that they formed when they were with Mo Yan. They felt a little weird as Lin Qiao didn’t take their nuclei.
They felt that Lin Qiao’s behavior was unreasonable. After all, their old boss always harvested what they got from the missions. That old habit had developed into an instinct.
Lin Kui returned the third, and put a bunch of level-six energy nuclei into Lin Qiao’s hands.
“Why did you give them to me? Didn’t I tell you to keep them for yourself?” Lin Qiao looked at him with surprise.
Lin Kui looked at his own clothes, then at Lin Qiao.
“Oh… Alright, I’ll keep them for you,” Lin Qiao instantly understood his meaning.
To fight the enemies, he needed to take off his clothes. Therefore, he might lose those nuclei if he put them in his pockets.
Standing on the tall fence wall, Lin Qiao watched the smoke of gunpowder rise from every corner of Hidden Cloud Base. She even saw Yun Meng. Some thriving plants had covered the ground and buildings in that entire area.
In another hour, Yun Meng finally killed Mu Chengfeng and returned with messy clothes and a few new wounds.
“d.a.m.n! I hate green power the most!” Yun Meng landed before Lin Qiao and threw a level-seven nucleus at her as she complained.
“You have green power too,” Lin Qiao gave her a glance.
“d.a.m.n! I hate plant power the most!” Yun Meng corrected herself.
“But still, you killed him. As the surviving one, you have no right to complain,” Lin Qiao turned to look at the base calmly.
Yun Meng glanced at Lin Qiao and the seven zombies around her. The soldiers who were supposed to be guarding the fence wall were all gone. The whole area was empty, with not even one human being left.
“How long are we gonna wait?” Yun Meng looked around and then asked.
Lin Qiao spent a moment sensing Li Zheng and the others. Where they were, all the commoners had started a riot. As the base fell into chaos, they grasped the opportunity to attack the soldiers who always abused them; they took their guns and shot them.
Most of the base administrators had been killed, and many superpowered peopled had died as well. The residents of the base had no idea what exactly was going on, but many of them had noticed that those high-leveled zombies were only targeting superpowered people and the ones who had been running the base. The base leaders and vice-leaders had even died. What else could possibly stop those commoners?
They attacked soldiers, seized the soldiers’ weapons, and killed them; they occupied territories and fought each other over food and supplies.
Based on the current situation, the commoners and ordinary soldiers in Hidden Cloud Base would divide into a few groups.
That was what Lin Qiao wanted. She didn’t want the supplies and food from that base, but wanted to tear it apart.
“Not long,” she said.
That night, Li Zheng and his squad finally returned.
“Alright, we have accomplished the mission. Let’s go back and prepare for the New Year. It’s going to be the first New Year in our new base,” Lin Qiao gave a faint smile, then turned and leaped off the wall. Following behind her, the group of zombies leaped off the wall one after another.
The coming New Year would not be easy for Hidden Cloud City Base.
Before long, the news from Hidden Cloud City Base surprised the people from all the other bases. After Earth Dragon Base, another base was destroyed.
As Hidden Cloud City Base’s neighbor, Sky Fire Base people got the news first, and they excitedly rushed into the base with an army and a large group of superpowered people. Facing them, those commoners, lower-leveled superpowered people, or ordinary soldiers in Hidden Cloud City had completely no chance of winning. What could they possibly do to resist a level-five superpower attack? They had good weapons, yet those basic weapons could hardly hurt their high-leveled superpowered enemies.
The people from the other bases heard that all superpowered people at or above level-four were all murdered within one day. Who did that was a group of zombies at level six and seven.
It was a group of zombies! Not just one!
That was reasonable though.
“Where on earth did those top-leveled zombies come from? Six zombie kings and queens, and two zombie dominators? And, where is Fang Xiulin? Did he just disappear into thin air?” Some chairmen of Huaxia Base felt confused.
“There was one black panther. It must be the zombie that they stole from us! Where the h.e.l.l were they from?” Liu Zhinan was a little excited.
The entire base had heard about what happened in Hidden Cloud Base, so it was easy for them to learn some details. Huaxia Base people easily guessed that the male black panther was none other than the zombie from their lab.
“Find out where those zombies are from!” Si Kongchen wore no expression, but his eyes glowed with a dim light.
Earlier, the trade of the anti-virus drug was nearly ruined, which already made him so angry. Currently, what infuriated him was that he felt as if a giant hand was manipulating all that had happened, and the owner of that hand was hiding very well, leaving no clue for him and his people.
Green Mountain Base handed over the squad member who was there when the black panther disappeared. Si Kongchen sent his people to keep a close eye on Green Mountain Base and Sea City Base. However, all of those people had disappeared without sending any message back to the base. And now, the Hidden Cloud City Base was destroyed.
