896 The Space Can't Suppress Him

Lin Qiao sighed and helplessly realized that her plan hadn't worked.

After her energy nucleus was disabled, her control of the space had grown weaker. Consequently, she wasn't able to suppress the crazy Wu Chengyue.

As Wu Chengyue was infuriated, Lu Tianyi and the other zombies all froze under the pressure, without daring to make any move. On the other side of the lake, the mutated goats and roe deer lay on the ground and curled themselves up.

Half of those mutated goats and roe deer were babies.

Rumbling thunder could be heard. There were no dark clouds in the space, yet Wu Chengyue managed to bring down a few lightning bolts from the sky and make them land on the trees.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The lightning exploded on the trees and caused dazzling sparks, but failed to deliver any harm to them.

Sensing Wu Chengyue's surging energy, Lin Qiao had no choice but to take him out of the space. Since her space had failed to suppress him, there was no reason for them to stay in there.

After exiting the space, Wu Chengyue still held Lin Qiao tightly. He held her hand with one hand while the other arm held her waist. A short while later, he sensed that the threat was gone, and then slightly raised his head to look around.

The aroma that he liked filled his nose and kept him from going crazier.

Lin Qiao stood still, her clothes still soaked. Being held by him, she could sense the warmth from his body. Thankfully, the weather wasn't hot, and the rain had been keeping her cool, so she didn't feel uncomfortable.

She couldn't go into her space, neither return to the base. So, she decided to find a building to hide from the rain first. However, they were in the suburban area, and were a couple of miles away from the city. Wu Chengyue was in bad condition, so she couldn't bring anyone else out of the base to drive the car for her. Wu Chengyue might not like that. Even if he wouldn't mind, the zombies from her space would be too frightened to even move under his vibe. After all, their levels were all relatively low.

So… she had no choice but to walk.

But before that, she needed to wait for the crazy man to calm down.

Following the earth-shaking thunder, a wave of lightning bolts landed on the ground less than five meters away from them and blew up the plants. Her body was held tight, so she could do nothing else but raise her head to look at the sky. Lightning bolts wriggled through the dark clouds and fell from time to time.

She spent a short while observing the sky, then suddenly found that fewer and fewer lightning bolts were falling from the sky, and the lightning in the clouds was fading. Meanwhile, she sensed the waving lightning energy ease down and slowly shrink back toward Wu Chengyue's body.

At that moment, she suddenly heard—'Owowowowowow…'

That weird dog bark obviously came from Bowwow. Since Bowwow had shown up, the other two creatures must be nearby. Lin Qiao was surprised that her three pets that were left outside the base had found her.

Here came a real dog.

Hearing Bowwow's sound, Wu Chengyue, who was slowly calming down, once again grew alarmed, as if he had sensed that his territory was invaded.

He immediately raised his head, vigilance turning to where Bowwow's sound came from. The air pressure around him rose again. The thunder was heard again, and the lightning that had faded not long ago reappeared in the clouds.

Lin Qiao could only watch him act like a wild beast speechlessly.

Wu Chengyue's vibe was way too strong, so Bowwow and his little friends didn't dare to come close to him. They showed up on a hill near the highway, and the dog howled toward Lin Qiao.

"Owowowowo…" 'Oi! We want to get to you, but we can't! What are you two playing? Is it fun?'

Lin Qiao didn't want to respond to the dog at all. 'It's not fun at all,' she said in her heart.

Wu Chengyue, who had finally quieted down a little, was irritated again. On his side, Lin Qiao felt frustrated as well.

At that moment, Wu Chengyue suddenly looked around. The highway was too broad and empty. Being there gave him no sense of security, so he decided to leave and to find somewhere safe.

Hence, he instinctively jumped into action.

Lin Qiao suddenly found herself carried in his arms before she could even react and froze slightly. Before she could do anything, she heard the wind roaring across her ears and felt the raindrops hit against her face.

She turned and looked around, finding that Wu Chengyue had already leaped high into the sky, stepped on top of the street lights and darted toward the city.

She maintained the posture and slowly put one hand behind his neck, prepared to give him a strike while he wasn't paying attention to her. However, Wu Chengyue stopped moving once she raised her hand. He stood on top of a street light and dropped his head to look at her expressionlessly and coldly.

Lin Qiao honestly didn't know what to say.

Why did she feel a little guilty and unconfident under his gaze? Why? What happened?

As a result, she quietly dropped her hand.

The two of them spent a few seconds looking at each other in the eyes. After that, Wu Chengyue turned his eyes away from her and kept moving forward. Soon, they started to see buildings. Wu Chengyue held her and hopped onto the roofs, moving toward the tallest building.

Lin Qiao could even sense her three pets, which had been following behind her and Wu Chengyue, and keeping a very, very long distance from them.

She seemed also to smell Xiao Licheng and some other people. The rain was brushing away their scents. She wouldn't be able to grasp those faint scents if her sense of smell wasn't better than that of dogs.

It didn't take her long to figure it out that Xiao Licheng and his people were there to keep an eye on Wu Chengyue. Wu Chengyue had lost control of himself, but they couldn't leave him alone. He was their Chief after all.

Except for Xiao Licheng and his people, Lin Qiao had also sensed the scents of Duan Juan and some All Beings Base people. Clearly, they came together.

At that moment, they were miles away from her and Wu Chengyue.

"Are they really going this way?" Xiao Licheng asked Duan Juan who was in the backseat uncertainly.

Duan Juan turned to Shen Yujen, who was sitting beside her.

Shen Yujen glanced outside the window, then nodded and said, "It is this way. I can smell my Chief, and I can also feel Chief Wu's energy waves. Can't you guys feel it?"

Xiao Licheng thought for a few seconds, then responded, "No. They're probably too far away from us. Can you sense how far are they from here?"

Shen Yujen shook her head.

Xiao Licheng turned to Duan Juan and continued, "Does your Chief really know how to deal with the problem? What if she can't fix it?"

After all, his Chief was a very powerful man. Lu Tianyu was now a powerful being too, but in Xiao Licheng's eyes, she was still weaker than Wu Chengyue.

Duan Juan shrugged and said, "If not even our Chief can solve it, we'll have to wait for your Chief to wake up by himself."

If Lin Qiao couldn't fix the problem, no one else could. Even Si Kongchen might not deliver a better result.
