"Brother Lin Yu, your self-healing ability is awesome, and so is your power!" said Feng Mingyu excitedly.
Speaking of Lin Yu's power, the others again felt curious. "We never thought that you'd trigger the poisonous fire power. How powerful is your fire now?" One of them asked.
Lin Yu didn't say anything but stood up and looked around the room. At last, he spotted the trash in the trash can. He walked over, took out the trash along with the trash bag, then put it on the floor.
After that, he turned his palm and threw out the black flame. The flame lightly landed on the trash bag, and in the next moment, the bagful of trash quickly melted and disappeared without leaving even ashes on the ground.
After the trash disappeared, the flame continued standing straight on the ground. Soon, the floor underneath it dented.
It looked like the flame had devoured the things that it touched, but in fact, those things just melted too fast. It was truly a little horrible that the flame could even melt floor tiles.
Seeing that the floor tile had begun melting, Lin Yu hurriedly waved his hand, and the small flame flew back into his palm.
The others looked at the flame which had flown back into Lin Yu's palm in surprise, then at the spot where it had lingered. A small dent was left on the floor.
"This is just the same as our chief leader's fire power when it was at the elementary level. The effects are about the same," said Feng Mingyu.
Lin Yu shook his head and responded, "Not exactly the same. My fire has no scent, so the surrounding people wouldn't be poisoned when I release it. It's still different from our leader's fire."
"But, it has the same look and delivers the same melting effect as our leader's fire," said Feng Mingyu.
"That's true." Lin Yu nodded and agreed to that.
Li Zheng calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Let's not tell anyone about this for the time being. You should all mind what you say from now on. Do you get it?"
The other three nodded knowingly. After all, what happened to Lin Yu was way too miraculous. If the people in the Sea City Base knew about that and informed their leaders, those base leaders might lock him up to run all kinds of experiments on him.
It was a great deal that he could resist the zombie virus, and apart from that, he had gained the self-healing ability and superpower. Therefore, anyone who had even a little ambition would want to know how to achieve that.
"Lin Yu, just now you said that someone had entered the warehouse while you were unconscious, but didn't it do anything to you, eh?" Asked Lei Yao.
Lin Yu shook his head confusedly and replied, "Something did come in at that time, but I don't know if it did anything to me or not… I was unconscious."
The others glanced at each other as they all felt regretful. If they knew what had entered the warehouse, they might be able to figure out what exactly had happened to Lin Yu.
"But…" Lin Yu looked at them, his eyes containing hesitation.
"What it is?" The others stared at him with confusion.
Then, Lin Yu lifted his cloth to expose his chest. They had surely seen each other naked. They were even familiar with each other's naked body, so they had discovered two tiny holes on Lin Yu's smooth and muscular chest.
"What are those?" Asked Feng Mingyu. Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the pair of holes on Lin Yu's chest.
"They look like… tooth marks? And it seems to be left by some kind of animal's canines…" said Lei Yao while pondering.
"Lin Yu, have you been molested by some kind of beast?" Li Zheng stared at him and asked with a strange look.
"Can't you be serious?" Lin Yu rolled his eyes and said.
Hearing him, all the others showed a smile in their eyes. "So how did that happen?" Asked Fei Chonglin.
"I found these tooth marks the next morning after I woke up in the warehouse," Lin Yu responded questioningly, "I don't even know when these were left on my body. If I have to explain it, I'd say that these were left by the thing which entered the warehouse while I was unconscious."
"These two tooth marks are very deep. Even though your body has healed itself, it failed to erase these scars. So, I wonder if the changes of your body are related to these tooth marks," said Lei Yao with a muffled voice.
Lin Yu nodded and said, "I think so too. Otherwise, why didn't I turn into a zombie, but had these tooth marks left on me? And, these don't look like a zombie's bite marks."
The others all nodded. "It sounds like that, but it can't explain your current condition. However, whatever has happened to you, you came back safely, and that's enough. None of the other things matters," Said Li Zheng.
While speaking, he stepped forward to pat Lin Yu on the shoulder. Recalling how he and his teammates had abandoned Lin Yu, he felt exceptionally guilty, and so did the others.
Hearing Li Zheng, the other three fell silent. These days, the fact that they abandoned Lin Yu had been stuck in their minds making them extremely uncomfortable. However, as they were on a mission, they had to keep their grief bottled up and make themselves forget that they had lost a brother.
But now, the brother whom they thought that they had lost was back, perfectly unharmed. And, he was even stronger than before!
Lin Yu laughed out loud when he saw the sorrowful look in his teammates' faces. "Yeah, you see, I'm really hard to kill. I'm back, so you don't need to look after Yan for me when return to our base," he said.
"Have you seen the Purple Thunder Leader of the Sea City Base?" He then changed the topic suddenly.
Their mission this time was to talk to one of the three leaders of the Sea City Base. They had heard that the leader was a kind and decent man.
Hearing him mention the mission, the others stopped looking sorrowful. Li Zheng shook his head and said, "Not yet. He went out of the base with his soldiers, and hasn't returned yet. So, we couldn't see him."
Lin Yu paused shortly and asked, "Out of the base? For what? Collecting resources? We came at a bad time then! So, are we waiting for him to come back now?"
Li Zheng nodded and responded, "I've asked some people, who said that he has been out for about a month. I think he'll be back soon, so we're now waiting for him."
"We still have some time. The Chief Leader will be free to act once she has sent her family and Chief Captain out," said Lei Yao.
At that point, all five men in the room had their faces darkened, covered in coldness and hatred.
"We'll be able to do whatever we want to deal with those people once Chief Leader has sent her family away!" Said Feng Mingyu angrily, "A bunch of ambitious scums! Do they think they can take out our Chief and make the base their own just like this? I think Chief will definitely destroy the base instead."
"Chief does intend to do so if she has to," Li Zheng agreed with him, "Otherwise, why would she let the Chief Caption and her family retreat secretly?"
"…And send us here to talk to the Sea City Base's Chief Leader about cooperation," Fei Chonglin added.
