Lin Qiao looked at the time, then turned and hopped onto the guardrail of the balcony before leaping up. Then, she held the edge of the roof and flipped onto the roof. Li Zhengye lived on the top floor, so she easily got onto the roof.
Once she entered the space, the ones sitting on the stairs all stood up.
"After I bring you guys out, you will scatter in the commoner area and find those superpower possessors from Hidden Cloud City Base and Earth Dragon Base. Tell them that Li Zhengye has been capturing superpower possessors for secret experiments. Then, I'll give you further instructions."
"Roar!" 'Yes, Ma'am!'
Among all the zombies on the scene, only the ones at level-six could talk. But after the mission was accomplished, the level-five ones would have enough credit for Lin Qiao to fix their throats.
Lin Qiao brought the group of zombies out with the rope, then looked at them and found that one of them was missing!
She looked at Six.
Receiving her eye signal, Six looked around and found that Nine, who was supposed to be by his side, was gone again. A vein popped up from his forehead as he expressionlessly raised a hand and pressed it back down.
Lin Qiao instantly gave him a hand signal. 'Go and find him!'
'Yes, ma'am!' Six straightened his waist and disappeared from where he was.
Lin Qiao then made a few hand gestures for the others. Following her movements, a few zombies disappeared from the roof, and the others took cover. She made another hand gesture, signaling for them to follow her and take cover. Then, she turned invisible again, leaping off the roof and landing back on Li Zhengye's balcony.
As Chief's assistant, driver, secretary, and guard, Cheng Tianan was standing before Li Zhengye's door as usual, waiting for his boss to get up. In his bedroom, a man and a woman were lying on the bed.
Li Zhengye opened his eyes and drowsily lifted the blanket as he sat up, then nakedly walked into the bathroom. When he came out, he had already put on a bathrobe.
"Get up, get out!" After coming out of the bathroom, he walked to the bed and raised the blanket, exposing the woman's body.
The chillness immediately woke the woman up. In a flurry, she got off the bed and found her clothes, putting them on. Her hair were still messy, but she tremblingly left the bedroom even before her clothes were neatly dressed.
Crack! The woman paused briefly with surprise when she opened the door to see the man in a military suit out there.
"Here," Seeing the woman, Cheng Tianan handed her a bagful of food. He seemed to be used to doing something like that. The food came from the canteen. It was the woman's payment for keeping Chief company last night.
The woman dropped her head and took over the food, then shrank her shoulders and quickly left the place. A car was waiting for her downstairs. As she came out of the building, the soldier by the car said to her expressionlessly, "Get in. I'll drive you back."
The woman silently got into the car. While adjusting her clothes, she held the food bag tightly.
Under her disheveled hair was a pretty, young face. That face wore a dull look, and her eyes were unfocused.
Standing on the balcony, Lin Qiao watched the car leave, then turned back to look into the apartment. The woman was upset after waking up, scared, angry, and helpless. The man was the leader of the base and she didn't like him, but could not fight back. She also felt guilty for another person.
The young woman had a lover; her life was poor but happy. But ever since Li Zhengye lay his eyes on her pretty face, her life fell into darkness.
Every time her husband left the base for a mission, she had to be brought here to sleep with Li Zhengye every night. She could not resist, or her husband and families would all be punished for a non-existent crime or die silently.
That kind of life had lasted for half a year. For the sake of survival, she had lost her feelings.
That was what Lin Qiao sensed from her mind. She then put the pieces together and figured out the whole story.
She quietly watched Li Zhengye put on a Chief's suit and walk out of his bedroom to the window, the open it as well as the balcony door to let fresh air in. Then, she watched him adjust his clothes and leave his apartment. A minute later, he took the elevator downstairs and got into his car. At that moment, Lin Qiao leaped off the balcony and silently landed on top of his car.
About ten minutes later, the young woman was sent back to where she lived, which was a commoner area. Most of the people that she lived together with were superpower possessors. The place could be counted as a fancy spot in the commoner area.
The woman was dropped near a crossroad, after which, the car quickly drove away.
Holding the food, the woman expressionlessly walked toward her home. Her steps were light, as if she was drifting in the air.
"Hey, isn't this Captain Li's wife? Why are you coming home at this time? Were you working again last night? How great! You get food by lying on the bed!" A man's sour voice was suddenly heard.
The woman knew who it was, so she ignored him and just kept walking.
"Oi, don't just walk. Come on! I haven't channeled my passion for days. Please do me a favor. You don't want Captain Li to know about what you're doing, do you?" As the woman gave no response, the tall and strong man stepped before her and blocked her way, then grabbed her arm and dragged her to a corner.
"Let-let go of me!" Realizing what was happening, the woman immediately started struggling. She didn't dare to scream though.
"Stop yelling! You did it with me every time, didn't you? Why are you struggling? Do you want everyone in the neighborhood to know that you have to sleep with another man every time your husband isn't home?" The man said to her viciously while gripping her tight.
On hearing that, the woman fell into a panic and instantly gave up on struggling. Soon, the man pulled her behind a wall in a corner. In that place where no one could see, he pressed her against the wall and rudely kissed her pretty face, his hands rubbing all over her.
At that very moment, a figure descended from the sky and quietly landed behind the man.
The woman was trying to turn her face away, twisted in both disgust and humiliation as she was enduring the violence. At that moment, the figure came into her sight and made her pop her eyes in shock. In her clear eyes were the reflections of a curious young man whose eyes were purely black.
