1061 Sky Fire Base's Experimen

\"They were injected with a drug that contained the zombie virus. The skin of the corpses was purple, and they showed some features of zombies. However, those people were dead for sure. Their heads weren't damaged. It seemed as if they died because their transformation from humans to zombies failed,\" Ye Yingyue told Lin Qiao about what happened and what she saw.

Lin Qiao folded her arms before her chest and raised one hand to gently pinch her own chin with her thumb and forefinger while dropping her eyelids to think.

Was that the secret the mysterious man brought to Li Zhengye?

\"Are they all dead?\" Lin Qiao asked.

\"Some of them are still missing. We don't know if they died or not,\" Ye Yingyue shook her head and said.

\"So… Someone took them away, then their corpses were found together, showing some features of zombies. Did someone do a zombie experiment on them?\" Lin Qiao thought for a moment and said.

\"We don't know. Currently, my boss is still trying to find out the truth and the man's purpose. We don't know if it's like what you said,\" Ye Yingyue shook her head again and said uncertainly.

Lin Qiao knitted her brows but didn't say anything, and the office fell into silence. A few seconds later, she said, \"Alright, I get it! I'll have someone guide you to your zombies, since you said that you'd like to take a look at them. Yujen, take Miss Ye to the guys from Green Mountain Base.\"

\"Yes, ma'am! Miss Ye, please come with me!\" Shen Yujen came in and said to Ye Yingyue with a smile.

\"Okay, thank you!\" Ye Yingyue quickly stood up and nodded at Lin Qiao, then turned and followed Shen Yujen out of the office.

Lin Qiao sat on the couch and thought about what Ye Yingyue said, as well as the news that Xie Dong brought back from Sky Fire Base.

Recently, Li Zhengye was secretly capturing superpower possessors from his own base too. According to Ye Yingyue, some people from Green Mountain Base and Huaxia Base went missing and then were found dead. They seemed to have turned into zombies, but their cause of death was not damage to their heads. By putting all the clues together, Lin Qiao could totally guess what Sky Fire Base was up to.

Turning human superpower possessors into zombies? For what?

Sky Fire Base people might have found out about her zombie nature, so she needed to make a move as soon as possible to solve that problem. However, All Beings Base was now threatened by those dangerous underground creatures. Without solving that first, she could not leave her base to attack Sky Fire Base.

Sky Fire Base people might have already found out the truth about Lin Qiao, but they seemed to be making no movements.

Lin Qiao measured the two different kinds of threats and then decided to solve the nearest problem first. As for the truth about her nature, the enemies were only suspecting it. They hadn't confirmed the message yet. So, Li Zhengye would send his people to All Being Base next to find out if what he heard was true, meaning that the situation for Lin Qiao would not be urgent.

With that thought, she immediately stood up and walked out of the office, returningto Base Number Two together with Duan Juan.

By using her vibe, she summoned Xie Dong to her office in Base Number Two and said, \"Keep a closer eye on Li Zhengye. One, he might have started to suspect that I am a zombie, and second, he's secretly capturing superpower possessors to do some kind of zombie experiments.\"

\"Yes, ma'am!\" Xie Dong wrote it down on a small notebook and nodded.

Next, Lin Qiao had a meeting with Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing, talking about the underground creature problem and also telling them about her plan for the next step, as well as her future schedule.

\"Are you going down to the hole to capture them? Will it be dangerous?\" Lin Feng asked with a serious look.

\"I need to get down there to find out. I'll go alone. I have invisibility and a space. I will be able to escape any dangerous situation that arises,\" said Lin Qiao.

\"I wonder if the stones that they brought back can suppress those underground creatures,\" Yuan Tianxing rested his elbows on the table and crossed his fingers as he said with a frown.

\"The energy in the stone is similar with the energy of those underground creatures. I don't know if the stones can weaken those creatures or not. We have to give it a try to find out,\" Lin Qiao looked at him and said.

After the meaning, Lin Qiao headed alone to the area which had been occupied by underground creatures.

…

In a building inside Sky Fire Base, the third floor underground was strictly guarded. The space there wasn't large. Near the elevator was a two-hundred-meter square lab. The walls of the lab were made from frosted glass, so the things in the lab couldn't be seen. Through the glass, people could only see some blurry images. Some people in white coats were moving inside the lab.

On both sides of the lab were two hallways. On the other side of each hallway were some closed doors and windows. People could look into the room through the windows.

\"How's number three doing?\" In the lab, Li Zhengye was wearing a white coat, a facial mask, and a pair of gloves. He was holding a notebook and reading whatever was on it while asking the question to the man beside him.

\"Number three has fallen into unconsciousness, but… his vital signs aren't gone for good yet.\" The man said to him with fright, not daring to look straight at Li Zhengye.

\"How's the infection?\" Li Zhengye frowned and asked.

\"His muscles have gone stiff, and his blood has… stopped flowing. The virus is detected from his fingers and gums. He's showing no obvious zombie features yet, but in fact, he has already turned into a zombie,\" the man said.

\"Keep injecting drug number four and ten. Keep a close eye on these people. Don't let them run,\" Li Zhengye put the notebook on a table while speaking.

\"Yes… yes, sir!\" The man quickly nodded and responded with great respect.

Only after watching Li Zhengye turn and walk out of the door of the lab did the man sigh with relief. Soon, some noises were heard from the elevator. After that, the people in the lab, who earlier tried so hard to keep themselves from being noticed by Li Zhengye, started talking.

\"Who on earth got Li Zhengye that thing? This is murder!\"

\"Shh! Keep your voice down. We'd all be dead if someone told Li Zhengye what you just said.\"

\"Yeah, mind your language!\"

\"Director, we haven't gotten rid of the failed samples yet. How are we supposed to deal with them?\"

The director, who talked to Li Zhengye earlier, stayed silent. The look on his face now was a little different from before. At the moment, he dropped his eyes immediately which glowed with a dim light. No one knew what he was thinking.

\"Director?\" As he didn't respond, his assistant called him again.

\"These could all become evidence. Don't throw them out of the base. Find a place that no one knows about and hide those corpses there. Find someone with ice power and then ask that person to freeze all those corpses,\" said the director.

\"Will there be an accident? What if those dead people come back to life? Should we put a bullet into their heads in advance?\" said the assistant with hesitation.

\"No, do as I said!\"

\"Alright!\"
