250 Hide If You Can’t Win

Mrs. Lin gave a long sigh as she wore a sullen face. She felt depressed every time she thought of Yang Jianhua. "What should we do? Lin Feng is no match for Yang Jianhua," she said. 

Lin Qiao gave her a comforting smile while saying, "Don't I have a space? We can't defeat him, but we can always hide, can't we? I really want to know what he's up to." 

Lin Wenwen said coldly with a dark face, "I don't want to see him. I'll feel disgusted!" 

Mrs. Lin nodded and agreed, "Me neither. I'll turn blind if I see him again!" 

Lin Qiao stood up and said, "How about this? You go stay in my space for now. I want to see what he's trying to do. If he doesn't leave, Lili will deal with him when she returns. Don't worry!" 

Lin Hao gripped the sharpened branch in his hand and said through clenched teeth, "I want to kill him! I can't do it now, but as long as he stays alive, he'll die in my hands one day!" 

Lin Feng glanced at the others, then said, "Mom, you, Wangxue, Xiaolu and Wenwen should enter the space now. We're staying outside to see what'll happen. If any danger occurs, Miss. Lu will bring us into her space." 

Mrs. Lin nodded while Cheng Wangxe held Xiaolu in her arms, then glanced at Lin Feng, but remained silent. Lin Qiao walked to Mrs. Lin and gently held her arm; then, both of them disappeared. A couple of seconds later, Lin Qiao showed up again and brought Cheng Wangxue and Lin Xiaolu into her space. 

After that, Lin Wenwen and the two soldiers named Wei Jingchen and Xiao Wenxing, who didn't have superpowers, were brought into Lin Qiao's space as well. Lin Feng, Lin Hao, and Long Qingying, being the relatively stronger ones, stayed outside with Lin Qiao. A small number of people would make escape more convenient. At the very least, no one would slow the others down while escaping. 

Lin Qiao returned to Liu Jun's room. At that time, Liu Jun was holding the asleep Tong Tong in her arms and waiting for the former. Xie Dong was standing in the room, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. 

Seeing Lin Qiao come in, Liu Jun asked her, "How many people will Yang Jianhua bring here?" 

Lin Qiao shook her head and responded, "I'm not sure. But the few superpowered ones around him are all at about level-five, and he has quite some people under his command." 

"In fact," said Liu Jun, "apart from his power, his cars are dangerous too, all armed with powerful weapons. He didn't use those weapons earlier when he was under Lili's attack, so I guess he's saving them for greater use." 

Lin Qiao nodded. After sending Liu Jun and Tong Tong into her space, she walked out of the room along with Xie Dong. Returning to Lin Feng's room, she said to the three inside, "You stay here and see. I'll go and try finding out what Yang Jianhua is up to. Wait for my message." 

While speaking, she walked to the area in front of the door, which couldn't be seen from outside the window. Then, she turned herself invisible and quietly opened the window before leaping out. 

The four people who stayed in the room each found a seat. Lin Feng looked at Xie Dong and asked, "Can I ask you a question?" 

Xie Dong looked at him. After confirming that Lin Feng was talking to him, he nodded with confusion. 

"This may sound impolite," said Lin Feng, "Please don't mind. We haven't heard you talking, so, have you lost your voice?" 

Xie Dong frankly nodded to admit that. 

"Ah, I'm really sorry," Lin Feng continued, "But, both you and Lu Tianyu are from Sea City Base, right? Why are you with her? Aren't you afraid of her?" 

Lin Feng wanted to know why wasn't Xie Dong afraid of the zombie Lu Tianyu, but had the courage to follow her. 

Xie Dong took out a notebook from the bag tied around his waist, then wrote on it, 'She's not a bad zombie. If she wanted to hurt me, she wouldn't have saved me.'

"She saved you?" Lin Feng said with surprise. Then, he glanced at Long Qingying and continued, "I think she likes saving people." 

'She likes saving people?' Xie Dong thought for a moment. The people who had been saved by Lin Qiao included himself; Tong Tong and his mother; Lu Tianyi and his team; the little princess; Long Qingying, and Du Yuanxing. Except for her own family, the others she rescued weren't related to her. 

Thinking so, Xie Dong felt that Lin Qiao did like saving people. As same as himself, she used to be a soldier, and soldiers' duty was to serve the people. So, Xie Dong figured that Lin Qiao considered saving people as what she should do.

However, in the post-apocalyptic era, if one helped all whom one found needing help, one might discover some ungrateful ones. In order to survive, the people living in this era had given up on many moral senses. That was why man-eating robbers emerged. In a team, betrayals and internal fights would happen all the time. 

Even some former soldiers had gradually lost their military spirit. In this world, people now followed the law of the jungle, and the strong ones earned respect. 

"Was she like that before?" Asked Lin Feng. 

That question puzzled Xie Dong slightly. He looked at Lin Feng confusedly, then shook his head. Lin Feng didn't ask more questions, but turned to look outside the window. 

"Did she really see that scum? Could she be wrong?" said Lin Hao. He had sensed nothing at all, so he didn't believe Lin Qiao's words completely. 

Lin Feng glanced at him and said seriously, "I'm not sure either, but trusting her for now is no wrong. Even for the slightest possibility, we need to stay alert, and can't be careless." 

Lin Hao quietly looked at the window. It was all dark outside, and he could see nothing. 

At that moment, Lin Qiao was quietly leaping across the roofs. In the darkness, no creature was able to sense a trace of hers. 

One-thousand and three-hundred meters only took her a few blinks. 

She squatted on top of a streetlight, looking at the top floor of the tall building about ten meters away. It was a residential area, with seven or eight buildings, each having twenty or thirty floors. 

Yang Jianhua and his people were in the building which was located in the middle of this area. From this building, they were able to see the hotel that Lin Feng and his people were stationed in. 

Lin Qiao slightly raised her head to look at Yang Jianhua and his people, who were standing on the top floor. She then lowered her head to look around and found no cars that belonged to them. However, she noticed the underground parking in this area, and figured that they had parked their vehicles underground. 

Lin Qiao used her sensations and found that except for Yang Jianhua himself, a few level-five superpowered people, and quite some level three or four ones were all on the top floor of that building. Those people should all be under his command.

Those people were gathering in a room. 

Lin Qiao leaped off the street light, quietly approaching the residential area. She didn't enter Yang Jianhua's building immediately, but headed to the underground parking. It was pitch-dark in there, yet she was able to see everything clearly. 

She walked down and looked around. As she expected, the few heavily armed vehicles which belonged to Yang Jianhua were parked by the wall. 

She stretched her fingers, then walked toward them.
