Chapter 801: Midnight Surprise Attack
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At that time, Lin Kui and the two level-six zombies arrived at Mongols Base. It was dark at night; he sniffed around, but still didn’t grasp any scent from Lin Jing.
His heart sank; however, he didn’t give up as he planned to sneak into the base and keep looking.
Mongols Base had a smaller population than Huaxia Base. In terms of land area, it was smaller than Huaxia Base as well. Lin Kui soon searched through the entire base, but still didn’t find a trace of Lin Jing. Not even a lingering scent of hers was sensed, meaning that she was never in Mongols Base.
Did that woman lie to Lin Qiao?
Lin Kui started to doubt if what Lin Jing’s former neighbor said was true.
…
That night, Lin Qiao didn’t go into her s.p.a.ce, but stayed in her room and pretended to sleep. About four in the morning, the temperature in her room dropped drastically and a stream of coldness gushed in.
Lin Qiao was sensitive to warmth, but not to coldness. A layer of ice emerged on the floor by the door and slowly reached toward her, but she still didn’t feel cold.
She sat up quietly. Sitting on that small bed, she watched the ice reach to the bed and then crawled upward along with the bed feet.
At that point, she flashed to the chair nearby and sat there with her legs crossed. In the darkness, she saw the ice quickly turn the bed into a white, ice sculpture. A series of slight noise next came from the door. Along with the noise, the door was opened quietly.
Lin Qiao sneered.
‘He finally came.’ In order to let that happen, she had sent away Duan Juan and Shen Yujen, who were supposed to guard her door.
The door was pushed open gently in the darkness, and a tall and strong figure flashed into her room. The man stepped on the ice and moved toward her bed, but froze once he approached the bed.
“What? Do you think you can freeze me just like this? Maybe you really underestimated me. I’m at level-seven after all, am I not?” Lin Qiao sat on the chair as she spoke coldly and composedly.
The man who was standing by the bed instantly turned around. “You dodged? Impressive!” His deep voice was heard from the darkness. Having finished talking, he suddenly swung an arm forward and sent a flake of ice toward Lin Qiao.
At that very moment, Lin Qiao, who was sitting tightly on the chair, disappeared.
Puff! The ice flake landed on the chair and froze the chair within a blink.
“This is suicidal!” Lin Qiao snorted coldly.
Gao Haoyun would be able to live longer if he didn’t provoke Lin Qiao but focused on suppressing the virus inside his body. However, he had made her angry. As Mo Yan didn’t seem to want this man’s life anymore, Lin Qiao decided to kill him by herself.
“Do you think your lousy poison power can do any actual harm to me?” Gao Haoyun gave a cold and scornful smile, then quickly created an ice s.h.i.+eld for himself. Clearly, he did that to prevent sudden poison attacks that Lin Qiao might launch.
“Oh, you’re wrong,” Lin Qiao t.i.ttered and then disappeared once again.
Gao Haoyun paused briefly with surprise when she vanished. Before he could react, he sensed a chilliness from his back, and then someone pushed him. After that, his eyes were dazzled.
Right on the heels of that, Gao Haoyun disappeared from the room as well.
When both of them disappeared in Lin Qiao’s room, another figure showed up by the door. Wu Chengyue gently closed the door and then leaned against the wall, waiting quietly.
…
Gao Haoyun’s eyes were dazzled for a second. By the time he could see again, he found the dark room before his eyes transform into a dimly illuminated patch of woods. It was like a cloudy day in the woods. There was no sunlight, and the thriving leaves had blocked most of the daylight.
Anxiously and doubtfully, Gao Haoyun looked around to observe the surrounding environment. He hadn’t realized what had happened yet.
Suddenly, he heard a woos.h.i.+ng sound, followed by a slight sound of the wind. Meanwhile, a figure brushed across him from behind.
He immediately turned back, then looked around vigilantly.
What was that place? Why was he there?
Every living being that had been thrown into the s.p.a.ce by Lin Qiao would have those two questions unwittingly.
Gao Haoyun quickly recalled what was happening earlier. He fought that woman in the room, and the woman suddenly disappeared. Then, he showed up here, and before that, someone pushed him from behind.
Why did that woman disappear just now?
Gao Haoyun had a vague, bad feeling when that question crossed his mind.
He looked around once again carefully, and soon found the weirdness of the trees in his surroundings. Every single one of them look exactly the same. All those trees were so tall that he couldn’t even see the tops of them by raising his head. There was no light coming into the woods from the sky.
Those trees which looked exactly the same as each other took away his sense of direction, making him feel depressed and agitated. His brows were knitted tightly together. He looked up, then bent his legs and hopped onto a tree nearby. After that, he kept leaping higher, trying to reach to the treetop, because a high standing might give him a better vision.
As he hopped onto the tree, another figure flashed across on the ground. After that, a mushroom came out from behind a tree. The smart mushroom bent its stem and turned its head up, seeming to be looking at Gao Haoyun curiously.
Gao Haoyun went high enough and found that the treetops were soaking in a white fog. Those trees were extremely tall; the higher he went, the denser the fog was. He couldn’t even see the leaves around him clearly.
As the fog got dense to a certain degree, he found that he wasn’t able to leap higher. The fog was like a screen that pressed him down.
He tried a few times and failed. After that, he started using his power. His ice power was supposed to freeze the fog, but when he raised an arm, he realized that his power was suppressed. He couldn’t even release twenty percent of his power.
He was shocked. He tried a few more times, but it still didn’t work. So, he quickly leaped off the tree.
He found the fog to be very unusual, as it had actually suppressed his superpower. He thought that he would regain his power as soon as he went back down to the earth. However, when he landed on the earth, he realized that his power was still under suppression.
How did that happen? That woman! It must be that woman!
He panicked a little. Being disabled from using his power gave him a strong sense of crisis. Suddenly, he thought of that woman who disappeared before he was brought to the weird woods.
“Get out! Show your face! I know you’re here!” He turned and growled wrathfully. Clearly, he couldn’t stay calm anymore.
He raised an arm and let out a flake of ice. The ice flake landed on a tree and froze a part of the tree trunk. He should be able to freeze the entire tree, but just now, he only managed to freeze about a five-meters long section of the tree trunk.
