798 The Reason For Failing

Lin Wenwen was a straight girl, but she now seemed to be having a rival in love who was not a girl, but a guy. Moreover, according to what had happened so far, this guy liked to play tricks.

Earlier on, no one else but Lin Wenwen noticed how Lu Tong and the other man-made that 'accident' happen. She had her eyes on Lu Tong even before Yuan Tianxing showed up.

The two of them were both standing under the scaffold. When Yuan Tianxing and Chen Yuting showed up, they quickly climbed up onto the scaffold, then one of them fell off while the other held his hand tightly. It seemed as if they had it planned beforehand. They made it look pretty real though. Lin Wenwen wouldn't know that it was not real if she hadn't been watching them since the very beginning.

As she thought, Lu Tong passed out at last. Even though he didn't manage to fall straight into Yuan Tianxing's arms, he had successfully caught the latter's attention and impressed him!

Did he do all that just to leave Yuan Tianxing a good impression and make the latter remember him?

While thinking, Lin Wenwen gently scratched her chin, her eyes glowing with a cold light.

Lu Tong seemed to be patient. The first step of his plan had succeeded. Lin Wenwen would like to see what he planned to do next, and eventually, how he would get Yuan Tianxing onto that bed.

She knew about his plan, but couldn't tell that to Yuan Tianxing, because that would only make herself seem like a suspicious person in Yuan Tianxing's eyes. Before having any solid evidence, she could probably end up seeming like an unreasonable girl.

On one hand, she didn't want Yuan Tianxing to dislike her, and on the other hand, she wanted to know what exactly Lu Tong was planning on. Therefore, she decided to keep watching him.

Before gathering enough evidence, she wouldn't make any reckless move. But of course, for the sake of Yuan Tianxing's virginity, she must keep a close eye on Lu Tong.

Because of that image that had popped up in her mind, she had already started to have some different thoughts. Even though she now knew that Lu Tong was planning to do something bad to Yuan Tianxing, she could not believe that Yuan Tianxing would let Lu Tong put himself into that strange, small room so easily.

While keeping an eye on Lu Tong, she also needed to verify her own guess.

Had she been triggering a new type of superpower?

…

Back in Huaxia Base, Lin Qiao had returned and kept watching the show.

Si Kongchen and the other two came back to the base and rested for a night. The next day, they held a meeting in the command room.

Last night when the three of them came back, people heard that news that they failed to kill the zombie emperor. They were all surprised and confused.

How come three level-eight superpowered men failed to kill one zombie emperor? Did an accident happen? Or, was that zombie emperor really so powerful?

So, at the meeting the next day, people looked at Si Kongchen and the other two curiously and expectantly.

Si Kongchen and Gao Haoyun were both wearing a very sullen look. Unlike them, Wu Chengyue was having his regular, faint smile that forbade the others from figuring out what he was thinking.

"Tell us what happened. How powerful is that zombie emperor exactly? The three of you fought for half a day but still failed to kill him?" Ahead of the others, Lan Lu looked at Si Kongchen's cold face and asked with curiosity.

Once his question was heard, Si Kongchen's cold and grim face darkened even further. He pressed his lips together and stayed silent, his eyes glowing dimly. Sitting beside him, Gao Haoyun wore a sour face as well. His face and lips were both a little pale. It seemed like he was enduring some kind of pain and was trying to hide it.

As Si Kongchen didn't answer the question, he said, "Ask Chief Wu from Sea City Base."

While speaking, he looked at Wu Chengyue with discontentment. He was nearly killed by the zombie emperor because Wu Chengyue wasn't so helpful. If the latter had managed to suppress the thunderclouds in the sky, he would not fall into such a miserable state, and would never let the zombie emperor scratch him!

He didn't sleep last night but went to find a virus researcher in Huaxia Base in secret once he came back. He covered his identity and threatened the man with his power while asking him for the cure to the zombie virus.

Macuy the zombie had killed a group of experienced scientists, and the current researchers were much less professional. If they were able to develop a cure to the zombie virus, they would have it long ago.

Gao Haoyun stayed up the whole night to suppress the virus inside his body with his superpower. Not to mention last night, he wouldn't be able to sleep ever again. He had to stay awake to suppress the zombie virus. If he fell asleep and lost a little control of his power, the aggressive zombie virus would explode right away and expand to every corner of his body in no time.

Even though he hadn't rested last night, he looked fine, except that his face and lips were a little pale. Apart from Lin Qiao, no one on the scene knew that he carried the zombie virus.

Wu Chengyue made no special reaction to what Gao Haoyun said, but said smilingly and carelessly, "I couldn't control it. Those were natural thunderclouds, not something that the zombie emperor had created. I was only able to suppress the lightning power in the clouds for a short span of time. As you had seen, the harder I tried, the more lightning power accumulated in the clouds. At last, the zombie emperor detonated it… I couldn't stop it."

"Why didn't you cut off the connection between the zombie emperor and the thunderclouds? If you did that, the zombie wouldn't be able to cause the explosion," Gao Haoyun stared at Wu Chengyue grimly. Wu Chengyue's pretty face looked very unpleasant in his eyes.

"You can try to do that if you think you can. I really don't have that kind of power. I do have lightning power, yet my energy is much weaker than what the zombie emperor has. Besides, you saw what he was like back then… He was crazy! The crazy zombie emperor let out a crazily strong energy. If I tried to cut off the connection between him and the thunder clouds, I'd hurt myself. Also, I managed to suppress most of the natural lightning power. Was it my fault that you two couldn't kill a zombie emperor?" Wu Chengyue's smiling face turned slightly cold as he shrugged and spread his hands.

Wu Chengyue, of course, wouldn't let Gao Haoyun put the blame on him. Besides, he did do all he could to help them. Although he didn't look so helpful, without him suppressing the natural lightning energy, the other two couldn't possibly fight the zombie emperor so easily.
