936 Who Did It?

Hou Guozhong abruptly turned to Xiao Yunlong and his people, looking at them with a sour face as he said, "I heard that your Chief Wu is spending a lot of time in All Beings Base, that new base. I guess he really likes Miss Lu."

Xiao Yunlong nodded and admitted, "I think so too. But sadly, she doesn't like him back. There's a long way for our Chief Wu to go if he wants to marry her."

Hou Guozhong said, "On our way here, we heard that a lightning power possessor in All Beings Base went mad. We don't know who that was."

There was a hidden meaning in his words. Everyone knew that lightning power possessors were rare. Wu Chengyue was the only one they knew, apart from that zombie emperor.

"Really? How come we didn't hear about that?" Xiao Yunlong responded with confusion.

"Stop hiding it. Wu Chengyue is a level-eight lightning power possessor. Who can approach him when he's out of control? I guess your Chief Wu is still in a bad state now, huh?" Wei Haichao said with a sneer.

He pointed out that he and his people had already known about what happened to Wu Chengyue. Without Wu Chengyue, what right did Sea City Base have to go against Huaxia Base?

Sea City Base people had been showing a bad attitude, so Huaxia Base people didn't intend to show any more mercy.

"Chief Wu is fine. Don't worry about him," Zou Shihui said blandly, then took a sip of his wine. Clearly, he didn't take Wei Haichao's words seriously. Xiao Yunlong reacted in the same way.

The others all believed that they were trying to hide the truth, and guessed that they weren't as calm as they looked like.

Knowing that Plan B didn't work, Wei Haichao and his people had no reason to stay in Sea City Base with fake smiles on their faces. They all stood up, then turned and left with their faces pulled long.

"I'll walk you guys out of the gate. Which gate would you like to take? The North Gate or…" Xiao Yunlong stood up and asked with laughter.

"The West Gate. Are we afraid of those zombies? We'll take that gate, and maybe we'll conveniently solve the zombie problem for you. Shouldn't you guys thank us for that?" Wei Haichao responded with a fake smile.

"Don't bother. We can solve that problem by ourselves. You don't need to do that for us," Xiao Yunlong responded carelessly.

"Suit yourself then! We'll still take the West Gate," Wei Haichao erased the smile on his face and said coldly.

The expected chaos didn't happen, so Wei Haichao and his people had no chance of kidnapping those scientists. They couldn't do it right under the watch of Sea City leaders anyway. Xiao Yunlong and Zou Shihui walked them straight out of the gate, in case they might try to play any tricks.

After leaving the base, Wei Haichao and Hou Guozhong instantly headed toward the zombie crowd and soon found those damaged combat vehicles. They both wore the drug invented by Green Mountain Base, the smell of which drove the zombies near them away.

The drug provided people with convenience if they needed to go out of the base to carry out some kind of mission. However, it was not helpful for zombie hunters.

The faces of Wei Haichao and Hou Guozhong were black as thunder as the two of them saw those burned vehicles.

"Boss, we found the other cars. They're all… the same." One of their subordinates searched around and then came back to report to Hou Guozhong. Hearing that, Hou Guozhong wore an even deeper frown.

"These cars were attacked by either fire power or lightning power. They were fine this morning, but broken within such a short time. The one who did this is strong," Li Zhengye observed those vehicles and shared his opinion.

Those vehicles were burned black, with no other traces near them. Clearly, someone attacked those vehicles while they were still driving and then blew them up. Some body parts were found in the cars, and surrounding the cars were puddles of blood and body pieces. The zombies might have dragged some corpses out of the cars and eaten them.

The weapons on every vehicle had been destroyed, and those advanced weapons were trashed even before they were used.

"It can't be lightning power! Wu Chengyue didn't go crazy here. If it were him, these cars couldn't be the only things that got attacked. Besides, no other traces of lightning strikes were found near the vehicles," Hou Guozhong excluded Wu Chengyue, as he believed that the latter couldn't possibly show up there.

"Who was it then? It seems that your men didn't even have the time to react when the attack happened, meaning that the one who did this is certainly at a higher level than they are. He should be at level-seven at least, with lightning power or fire power. Among all level-seven people from All Beings Base and Sea City Base… only Lin Feng from All Beings Base has fire power. Was it him? I didn't hear about him breaking into level-seven though. He reached level-six last year. I don't think he can upgrade again so soon," Li Zhengye suddenly thought of Lin Feng.

"No matter who did this, I will find him!" Wei Haichao snorted through clenched teeth.

"Sea City Base has officially turned against Huaxia Base. What are you going to do next?" Bao Chengzhi turned to Hou Guozhong and asked. Their plan ended up as a total failure this time. They had no intention of making any deal with Sea City Base, so they didn't bring anything but the small number of supplies which served as a disguise. The elites and weapons that they brought in secret had all been destroyed, and they were bringing home nothing.

They didn't get the soil remedy or the scientists. In addition to that, all the trades between Huaxia Base and Sea City Base were stopped. That was like a slap on the face for Huaxia Base, which was known as the most powerful base in the country.

"Those ungrateful Sea City Base people better don't blame us for having no mercy. They can't possibly cure Wu Chengyue anyway. Let's see what power they have to fight against us," Wei Haichao said viciously, with a cold and fierce look in his eyes.

"Sea City Base people are so selfish. They have the soil remedy, but refuse to share it with us? Human beings should unite. It'll be harder and harder for people to survive if everybody is like them," Li Zhengye criticized Sea City Base people with discontentment.

In the post-apocalyptic era, the only way to earn respect was to be strong. People minded only their own business. If one wanted to get things from the others, he or she would need to pay an equal price.

Huaxia had so many more technologies than Sea City Base did. They didn't share those for free to unite mankind and help people to survive. Instead, they cast their greedy eyes on the technologies that they didn't have and planned to get them by unfair means.
