1041 The Monster at the Bottom of the Lake

As Qiu Lili and Lin Kui showed up, Lin Wenwen and the others sighed with relief. The situation was instantly turned around, and the ones who were running for life had become the hunters.

\"Ah… Lili won't let us make a move. She's creating a disaster though… I don't think any of them will escape,\" Ye Qingxian slightly raised his head and looked at the five enormous tornadoes whirling in the sky while murmuring.

Mo was standing beside him with a cold face, ignoring him. Lin Wenwen responded to him, \"No, they won't. Lili is strong.\"

Li Yue Shan said from beside her, \"We still have time. As long as we start heading back tonight, we'll be in the base tomorrow.\"

Lin Wenwen had her eyes glowing. \"Oi, have you met my… um, my Chief's baby? Who does he look like?\"

Li Yue Shan looked at her with a strange expression. He put a hand on his chin and spent a few seconds thinking, then asked her, \"Hmm… Have you ever seen a baby who can talk once he was born?\"

Hearing that, Lin Wenwen pictured a bloody, bluish pale little baby opening his mouth to talk, with his limbs curled up. She trembled slightly, as that imaginary baby was a little scary.

Seeing that weird look on Lin Wenwen's face, Li Yue Shan gave a wicked smile and said, \"Are you thinking about something bad? Hehe… the baby is actually pretty adorable. He has big eyes. He's tiny but very energetic. He's also super brave. He fought with your Chief every single day, and every time he lost, he rolled on the bed and screamed.\"

Lin Wenwen automatically pictured a crying babyface and imagined that deafening baby screams. So horrible!

She laughed and said, \"I bet he's gonna piss my Chief off so badly! I'm surprised that my Chief actually agreed to throw the baby's one-month-old party in Sea City Base. Is the thing between her and your Chief making a progress?\"

Li Yue Shan shook his head and said, \"No, she didn't agree. The other two Chiefs of our Sea City Base planned to steal the baby from your base…\"

\"Steal the baby?\" Lin Wenwen glared at him with surprise, \"How could those two grown men come up with that kind of idea?\"

While the two of them were talking to each other, the others who had nothing to do were listening. The people on the scene were either zombies or level five or six superpower possessors. They could hear things clearly from hundreds of meters away.

Kong Qingming joined the conversation, \"Maybe they came up with that idea because they felt Chief Wu has no chance of winning your Chief's heart…\"

Long Qingying silently turned and glance him a glance with disdain. She seemed to despise Sea City Base people for being sneaky.

\"Why are you looking at me like this? I am a decent man. I won't possibly do something like that,\" Kong Qingming immediately felt uncomfortable.

Long Qingying snorted coldly, then turned her head away, flipping her long ponytail on his face. Yesterday, he threatened her to lock her up and not let her go anywhere.

\"It's about the time to head home,\" Lin Kui, who was silent all the time, said with a hoarse voice.

The people turned and found that the fiery tornadoes had gone. Two figures were flying toward them swiftly.

\"It's done. I've burnt those bugs to death. Let's go home!\" Qiu Lili airily landed on the ground and said to the group of people. Hearing that, the group of people instantly sat inside the cars. The two off-road cars that Li Yue Shan brought over and the vehicles that they took from those Huaxia Base people were enough to contain all of them.

After Qiu Lili and the others left, the surface of the enormous Lake Tai suddenly waved intensely as if the bottom of the lake was quaking, or some huge thing was moving in the water to stir the lake.

About half an hour later, a herd of huge creatures crawled out of the Lake Tai, which was about two-thousand acres wide, one after another. Most of them were chewing mutated fishes that came from the lake.

They looked like lizards and crocodiles with horns. The large ones were as big as buffaloes, and the small ones were at the size of pigs. They had strong legs, slim bodies, short tails, and sharp claws, crawling out of the water swiftly.

Those creatures didn't go too far away from the lake. They crawled out of the water and took a tour two-hundred meters around the lake, then returned to the lake and dove back into the water. After that, the water surface quieted down again.

…

In the North, Si Kongchen showed up in a secret underground base inside Huaxia Base. He walked into a gate and the thick alloy gate automatically closed behind him, generating a loud bang.

Si Kongchen raised his head to look at a gigantic, mechanized space. He was standing on a platform that was about twelve meters high, and the space before him was at least a hundred and fifty meters tall. Countless large glass boxes were piled on the ground layer by layer. The space was divided into many areas, each area having a large number of different sized tempered glass boxes neatly piled in it. In the boxes were all kinds of mutated animals and a huge number of zombies.

Countless people in white protective suits were moving in that space, controlling machines or standing beside some glass boxes, recording something.

\"Chief!\" The person who was responsible for the place showed up before Si Kongchen once the latter came in.

\"How's the study going? Is there a breakthrough?\" Si Kongchen looked at him and asked.

The person who was responsible for the place was a pretty woman. She was wearing a white, long lab suit, with her long hair tied up at the back of her head. A pair of glasses was worn on her clean face.

She turned and glanced down at those glass boxes, then shook her head and said, \"A small amount of drug can't control their mind, and a huge amount of drug makes them explode. I have a feeling that something in the drug is missing. I don't know how much time we'll need to spend to find out what's missing without his diary. If we want this to be solved as quickly as possible, we need to find his diary.\"

Si Kongchen looked at her with discontentment and said, \"Can't you do it without his diary? If you don't fix it soon, the researchers in the United States and Japan will laugh at us for being weaker than them.\"

He didn't want to be looked down upon by foreign scientists. He had recruited the most famous researchers in the country, yet no solution was found. Now, he had to pin his hope on the missing diary. That was not his style.

\"Our technique is always a step slower than the United States. We are doing our best. I've tried many special types of energies, but nothing fits perfectly. Now, the only thing we can do is to keep doing experiments to look for the most suitable type of energy,\" the woman responded blandly while pushing her glasses upward.
