Lin Qiao showed up back in her room and looked at the man who was leaning against the wall near the door as she said, "What are you doing in my room?"
Standing in the darkness, Wu Chengyue shrugged and said, "Waiting for you."
Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes and kept looking at him. He seemed to know that Gao Haoyun had paid her a visit.
Seeing her exit her space unharmed, Wu Chengyue quickly turned and opened the door. Before leaving, he gave her a meaningful glance.
She came out of her space without being injured at all, meaning that Gao Haoyun should have been killed. A level-seven zombie killed a level-eight man in an hour. Clearly, that zombie lady was no longer at the level of ordinary zombie dominators anymore. Based on how easy killing Gao Haoyun seemed to her, Wu Chengyue figured that the space was Lin Qiao's greatest weapon.
He needed to re-estimate her power. Even though he knew that Gao Haoyun would not be able to defeat her, he was still surprised to know that she had killed him so quickly.
Lin Qiao watched Wu Chengyue leave and felt a little confused.
As he showed up in her room, she figured he must know that Gao Haoyun was there. However, he only came in after she brought Gao Haoyun into her space, which meant that he was not here to help her fight Gao Haoyun. He seemed to believe in her power, but was not so confident about the result. Was that why he came to wait for her in her room?
What a complicated man!
Soon, dawn arrived. Si Kongchen got up from the bed and wiped his face with a wet towel. But, he heard quick door knocks right after that.
"Chief, the zombies changed their way of attacking again!" Hou Guozhong stood at his door and said to him with a serious look.
Not only had Si Kongchen received the news, but all the others did as well.
In Lan Lu's room, Lei Cheng was giving him the newest information expressionlessly, "They sent out an earth-powered zombie dominator to fix the earth crack that Liu Zhinan created, and the zombie crowd rushed to the fence wall immediately after that. This time, we're facing not just ordinary zombies. The ones with superpowers, zombie leaders, kings and queens, and zombie dominators have all shown up."
Xiao Licheng knocked on Wu Chengyue's door once the latter laid on the bed and closed his eyes. He sat up on the bed and listened to Xiao Licheng's report with his eye closed while rubbing his temples.
"The offensive is fierce this time. Many powerful zombies have joined the fight. I think those senior superpowered people in Huaxia Base are going to have some work to do this time," said Xiao Licheng.
"I guess the zombie emperor is making this serious this time. I wonder how he'll feel when he finds out that someone else has already taken out his target," Wu Chengyue opened his eyes, said with a smile.
"I think he might come after Miss Lu… right?" said Xiao Licheng uncertainly.
Gao Haoyun got himself killed. He could have messed with anyone, yet he picked that zombie lady. He tried to flirt with her because she was pretty, and he actually sneaked into her room in the middle of the night. If that was not a suicide, what was? One could look at the other chairman of Huaxia Base. That one got killed in front of the others because he touched her hand. He might not even know what caused his death!
Miss Lu was really not a flower that anyone could pick. She was a man-eating flower!
Even Wu Chengyue only had the guts to follow the flower around, but never the courage to try to touch her! Yet, some people recklessly reached their hands toward the flower, without knowing that the flower had teeth!
Duan Juan knocked open Lin Qiao's door and said, "The zombie attack is a big one this time. The earth crack was fixed. I think the emperor's zombies are taking action."
"Of course, he'll make a big move this time, because something is wrong with his zombie nucleus. He doesn't have the crazy power now, and he is feeling irritated and restless," Lin Qiao nodded calmly.
"If… If he knows that you killed Gao Haoyun, what would he do?" Duan Juan asked curiously.
Lin Qiao shrugged and said, "I guess he'll try to kill me!"
No matter what Mo Yan might do when the time came, Lin Qiao was confident that she could stop him.
"Are we going out to watch now?" Duan Juan asked.
Lin Qiao nodded and responded, "Let's wait a minute. I think Si Kongchen will make some arrangements."
Duan Juan nodded knowingly.
Soon, some Huaxia Base people came in a hurry and asked Lin Qiao to help to fight against the zombies at the west entrance of the base.
"What about the others?" Lin Qiao asked. She had dealt with the ice in her room, so the others wouldn't find anything strange except some water stains on the ground.
"Our Chief is at the South Gate," said one of the people who came to ask her for help, "Chief Wu from Sea City Base went to the East Gate. Chairman Lan Lu from Green Mountain Base is heading toward the North Gate. Some of our chairmen will aid them at each gate. Gao Haoyun was supposed to go to the West Gate, but we haven't found him yet. So Miss Lu, please help us defend the base against those zombies, together with Chairman Wei."
"Chairman Wei? Wei Haichao?" Lin Qiao nodded as a gleam of light flashed across her eyes.
Thankfully, she didn't need to fight side by side with Liu Zhinan. She would not get along with that guy.
On the other side of the base, Si Kongchen knitted his brows into a deep frown as he said, "Gao Haoyun disappeared? Where can he possibly go at this point?"
Gao Haoyun's sudden disappearance made him feel slightly agitated. That guy was seriously a troublemaker. His level-eight power was needed right at the moment, yet he was gone!
"Maybe it has something to do with Miss Lu. He seems to care a lot about that woman," said Hou Guozhong uncertainly.
"Did that woman disappear too?" Si Kongchen popped his eyes and asked.
Hou Guozhong shook his head and said, "No. She was in her room when our people went to ask her for help."
The look in Si Kongchen's eyes changed subtly as he said, "Since she didn't disappear, I guess she has nothing to do with it. Keep looking for that man."
"Yes, sir!" Hou Guozhong nodded.
Lin Qiao arrived at West Gate with Duan Juan and some other subordinates of hers and saw the gate blocked by all kinds of plants. The wall was covered in vines, and some tall trees had grown out on the clearing before the gate.
The entire West Gate area was full of vibrant greenery. Without a doubt, that was a work that Chairman Wei did.
But soon, Lin Qiao realized that she was wrong. Wei Haichao didn't do all that by himself.
When Lin Qiao got onto the wall top, she saw Wei Haichao and a large group of green-powered people releasing their powers together, throwing out some seeds from time to time.
The zombie crowd was fierce down on the ground. Every now and then, a few higher leveled zombies would jump out of the crowd to launch random attacks at the humans, but all their attacks would be blocked by those plants, which were able to move.
Suddenly, a gigantic bird flew across the sky and created a large shadow while stirring up a strong gust of wind.
"No!" A man uttered a scream when the bird flew over. The others raised their heads to find him being brought away by the bird.
