856 Poor Green Mountain Base

"Give everyone in the base a blood test, the superpowered ones the first. Isolate them if you find that material in their blood," Lin Qiao immediately gave her order.

"Yes ma'am!" Shen Yujen jumped into action.

Lin Qiao knitted her brows into a frown. This time, her lake water failed to deliver any effect on the new zombie virus. Yuan Tianxing and her mother had been drinking the lake water the whole time, so their bodies would more or less contain some energy from the water. However, that energy failed to stop that mysterious material from invading their bodies.

"Keep working… Thank you," Lin Qiao said to Lin Hao and Leng Xuantong, then turned and left the lab. At the door, she said to Pesticide, who was one of the few zombies that still followed her by her side, "Tell Lin Feng and Chen Yuting to meet me in the conference room after they pass the blood test."

Most of the zombies under her command had been sent out on tasks. Currently, only Pesticide, Xiao-xiao, Jingyan, and a few others were still by her side.

Pesticide was a smart one. He hadn't restored his memory yet, but was capable and easy to communicate with. He knew almost all the important administrators of the base. Qiu Lili and Yun Meng had taught him to memorize those people's faces.

Pesticide wasn't expecting Lin Qiao to give him a task, and wandered around in the base all the time. Chief never gave him a serious mission anyways. Hence, he paused briefly with surprise, then soon realized what he needed to do. So, he nodded and then left promptly.

While All Beings Base managed to bring the situation under control, Sea City Base, Huaxia Base, Sky Fire Base, Mongols Base, and Heilong Base, that hadn't yet recovered from the last disaster, were all in chaos. The most crowded place became the most chaotic zone. The situation in those areas was really problematic.

However, the base that suffered the worst wasn't one of those large bases, but Green Mountain Base.

Green Mountain Base, which used to be a mental hospital, had been torn down. The survivors were now gathering in a building at the edge of the base, only about thirty thousand of them. The old people, children, weak, and ill ones were all surrounded by the others. A group of soldiers and superpowered people made a circle around the crowd. Guarding around the building were a group of zombies at level three to five.

"What should we do now? Are we going to leave him in there alone?" said a woman who seemed to be in her twenties. Her hair were short and neatly cut. She was of an average height, slim, and wearing a white coat. She had a delicate face and a gentle look in her eyes.

At that moment, her eyes contained a deep worry.

Lan Lu sighed and responded helplessly, "What else can we do? Which one of us can possibly defeat him? None of us could beat him before, not to mention the fact that he has gone crazy now.

"What if he stays like this? Will he ever wake up?" said the short-haired girl with a deep frown. Her name was Chang Qingqing.

The one whom they talked about was the man who had destroyed the entire base, their leader. The poor Green Mountain Base wasn't destroyed by zombies, but by their own leader.

All the others in the country believed that Wu Chengyue was the strongest man among all base leaders, and among all survivors in the country. None of them knew about the powerful man in Green Mountain Base who had already broken into level-nine. That man had great power, but his brain wasn't working so well.

He was the leader of Green Mountain Base, yet he did no actual work. He spent every single day in his little dark room, without seeing or listening to anyone. Chang Qingqing, Lan Lu, and a zombie chairman were the only three who were able to communicate with him.

"Qingqing, someone is sick!" A girl around twenty years old ran up to Chang Qingqing and said to her with a low voice.

"Where?" Chang Qingqing quickly turned to her and said, "Go and tell Ba to come here."

The girl immediately led her toward the crowd. The one who was standing behind Chang Qingqing quickly ran out of the building.

Outside the building, a group of zombies was staying about three meters away from the base. Some of them were standing and some sitting on the ground. They were all very quiet.

A bearded man was standing straight by the crowd with his hands behind his body, looking into the distance. He was over one-hundred and ninety centimeters tall; his vibe was as sharp as a sword.

"Uncle Ba, Qingqing wants you upstairs. Someone is sick," Chang Qingqing's subordinate ran up to the bearded man and said to him.

The man's solemn and mysterious vibe changed instantly when he heard that. He turned around and hunched his entire back, then rubbed his claws as he popped his purely black, glowing eyes and roared with excitement.

"Roar? Roar…" 'Sick? Ah, small case! Take me there and let me take a look…'

Chang Qingqing's subordinate didn't understand his roars. But, he calmly turned and guided the bearded zombie upstairs.

At that point, Chang Qingqing was in a room in a residential area. Small buildings were built thickly in that area. About thirty people were staying in that room. A person was curling on the bed, being wrapped in dirty quilts by the others.

"How is she?" Chang Qingqing asked the others once she came in.

"She's having a high fever." The few people by the bedside stepped backward and said.

They had evacuated from the base in a flurry in the morning, so there was no time for them to pack medicines. Therefore, they had no drugs for the patient at the moment.

Chang Qingqing walked to the bed and looked at the patient carefully. She touched the patient's face and forehead, and found that the latter was only having a normal fever, instead of the superpower-triggering fever. Sensing that, she sighed with relief.

On the bed was a woman, looking about thirty years old. Her pretty face was sallow and scrawny, her eyes deeply sunken.

"Do you know her name?" Chang Qingqing asked.

"Lin Jing," said one of those near the bedside, "I think she came from Mongols Base a few months ago."

Chang Qingqing nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Soon, the bearded zombie came in. Once he entered, the others automatically moved to the corners. Noticing their reactions, he snorted scornfully, then raised his chin and gave a roar. "Roar?"

'Where's the patient?'

Chang Qingqing pointed at the bed, then said expressionlessly, "Are you blind? Don't you see the one lying on the bed? Would we hide her under the bed?"

She didn't understand why he asked the question while the answer was so obvious. Why didn't he look around at the room before that?

"Roar…" 'I was just asking. Why are you so mean…'

The bearded zombie dropped his head and glanced at Chang Qingqing frustratedly.
