Chapter 796: The Cracks On The Zombie Nucleus
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Qiao showed up in front of Mo Yan so boldly to talk to him because she knew that his energy had been consumed up. She didn’t have to show her face. However, he had already sensed her, so it was pointless for her to keep hiding.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and saw Mo Yan’s body glowing with a faint, purple light. The light was so dim that his body even looked like a dying lamp.
Lin Qiao wasn’t worried about her own safety. Mo Yan wouldn’t be able to harm her as long as he wasn’t able to summon natural thunder clouds again. But, she had seen something more important—his zombie nucleus.
The nucleus inside Mo Yan’s brain was not the same as before.
Earlier during the fight, Lin Qiao was too far away to see it clearly. Now, as she came close enough to him, she found that his zombie nucleus was different from before.
When she saw him the last time, his nucleus was a light-purple one. But now, it was dark-purple… very, very dark.
That wasn’t important. The important part was that the dark-purple nucleus of his was covered in tiny cracks! The female zombie’s energy was trying to fix those cracks. However, maybe because her level was too low, her energy was barely helpful.
Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes and a thought popped up in her mind.
Were those cracks the reason why he lost control? His nucleus was good when he was in Lin Qiao’s base. Why did it crack within such a short time?
That puzzle lingered in Lin Qiao’s mind.
“Roar…” Mo Yan roared at her to wake her up from her thoughts, and also ask her what she was looking at.
Lin Qiao widened her eyes as she looked at him and said, “You didn’t kill those innocent people in Heilong Base. For that, I’m gonna warn you to not rely too much on the power of nature. It’s too strong for you to take.”
After saying that, she made a step backward, then disappeared right in front of Mo Yan and his zombies.
Mo Yan sniffed around and showed a cold look. In fact, he didn’t know where she was hiding just now. He only had a vague feeling that a powerful zombie was nearby.
He didn’t know that it was her, the lady zombie leader.
By zombie leader, he surely didn’t mean like a level-five zombie. He knew that she was leading the new base.
He was confused about that. She was a zombie, but she built a base for humans. Why?
Just now, she had explained to him and made him understand that she did it to protect her family and friends. That was wonderful! She had become a zombie, yet she still had people to protect and things to do.
Unlike her, he didn’t have a family. His best friend and the woman he loved both betrayed him. He honestly didn’t know what he should do. His revenge was about to be completed. What would happen next? Was he supposed to keep a low profile and be a handsome zombie?
…
That night in All Beings Base, Long Qingying gently pushed open the door of her dorm. As she thought, Lin Wenwen was sitting on the couch, waiting for her.
They had moved into a flat in the school area. That building used to be the teachers’ apartment. Except for Lin Family people, only Yuan Tianxing, Chen Yuting, and some other senior base administrators lived in that building.
“How did it go? Have you found out anything?” Once Long Qingying came in, Lin Wenwen stood up and asked her a question.
Long Qingying handed her a piece of folded paper and said expressionlessly, “He’s a s.p.a.ce possessor who arrived at the base along with the second batch of Hades Base survivors. Why do you want to know about him?”
Her bland, expressionless face showed a slight trace of curiosity.
Not long after they returned to the base, Lin Wenwen dragged Long Qingying all over the base at about dinner time to look for someone, without telling her whom to look for. Two hours later, she pointed at a slim young man from a distance away and asked Long Qingying to dig out his background.
“This man is a little weird,” Lin Wenwen blinked and said while reading the file that Long Qingying gave her.
That image lingered in her mind all the time. At first, it was so real as if it really happened.
If she didn’t ask Lu Junjie about what Yuan Tianxing had been doing lately, she would think that it had truly happened.
“He was nearly framed earlier by a man named Chen Hao. That man kidnapped Xiaolu and Tongtong. He planned to kill the two kids, then create some clues to lead people to this young man named Lu Tong. Chief saved the two kids soon afterward, and that Chen Hao… Your sister-in-law beat him to death,” Long Qingying told Lin Wenwen about Lu Tong without any expression.
“What! How dare he touch Xiaolu! He deserved to be beaten dead by my sister-in-law!” said Lin Wenwen with both anger and surprise.
Long Qingying nodded and said, “Even though Lu Tong was innocent, I heard that he was with Chen Hao and his people before they arrived in our base. I don’t know why they tried to kill each other once they came here. Chen Hao wasn’t a good guy, so clearly, this Lu Tong isn’t a good man either!”
While continuing, Long Qingying’s expressionless face turned a little cold, “I heard that those people left Hades Base together. But on the way, they had disagreements and divided into two groups—one with the superpowered people and one with the commoners. Lu Tong suggested Chen Hao and his people to capture some commoners and use them to distract zombies.”
“They used other people as baits? He looked so weak as if even the wind could bring him down. I didn’t know that he actually did something like that,” Lin Wenwen knitted her brows as well. She hated that kind of people.
“What relations.h.i.+p does he have with Tianxing? Have they had any contact with each other?” Lin Wenwen thought for a moment, then continued.
Long Qingying shook his head and said, “He hasn’t had any contact with Deputy Chief Yuan yet. But these couple of days, he has been secretly asking around about Deputy Chief Yuan. I guess no one would notice that if you didn’t ask me to dig into his background. Is that why you told me to do it?”
While speaking, she looked at Lin Wenwen knowingly.
“He really is…” He was really targeting Yuan Tianxing!
As Long Qingying mentioned that Lu Tong had been asking around about Yuan Tianxing, Lin Wenwen recalled meeting him earlier, and the image that she saw in her mind. Instantly, she clenched her teeth with anger.
“I’ve had my people watching him. I’ll let you know if anything happens… Oh, I also heard that he went to see someone this afternoon. That man is also one of the second batch of Hades Survivors. I think we should keep an eye on that one as well,” Long Qingying thought for a short while and then added.
