1101 The Chaos in Sky Fire Base

Lin Qiao looked at him and said, "It's okay that you don't believe me. I have already gotten what I want to know from your mind. As your payback, I'll give him to you when I have caught him. Don't worry, I won't kill him."

While the man was talking, Lin Qiao had already learned enough about Long Hair from his mind.

His name was Yan Huiguang, and he used to be a doctor. After the apocalypse, he attained a superpower and started to think in abnormal ways.

Hearing what she said, the man was stunned slightly. "Are you re-really going to take action against him? Are you sure you can do that?"

Lin Qiao nodded and said, "He knows too much. Only a dead man can stay silent forever. I am confident. Just wait and see."

Having finished talking, she stood up and put the glass of untouched water on the desk. After that, she took out a level-six zombie nucleus and put it on the desk too. Next, she turned and left.

After all, she took the information from the man's mind without his permission. For the man, Yan Huiguang was an important person. Therefore, she gave the man a level-six nucleus as his compensation.

The man stayed silent as he watched Lin Qiao leave. Only after she closed the door did he turn his eyes to the zombie nucleus.

Lin Qiao walked out of the basement and up the stairs. Up there was abandoned storage; the building had collapsed there. The entrance of the basement was cleaned and hidden, so people wouldn't find it unless they paid extra attention to the area.

She looked at the sky; it was already getting dark.

She hopped onto a nearby utility pole and closed her eyes to listen to the sounds coming from the base, then spent a moment to sense the zombie crowd outside the base and figured out the rough number of those zombies.

The area surrounding the base was still zombie-free. However, a crowd was gathering miles away from the base. A lot of zombies had gathered where she came in from earlier, and zombies had just started to gather on the other side, slightly further away from the base. It seemed that Lin Kui had already made a circle around the entire Sky Fire Base.

At that time, the base had already started to become noisy. In the secret experimental base, a group of base residents had been confronting the leaders of the army.

Hundreds of armored soldiers had their guns pointed at the entrance of the underground lab. Near the entrance were hundreds of residents, pointing weapons at the soldiers and showing no signs of stepping back.

"Liu Hanqin! You are such a fool! Wake up! Li Zhengye is doing such an evil experiment behind our back! He kidnapped superpower possessors from our base! We won't let this end so easily today. Kill us if you can!" The leader of the group of residents was a man who glared at the soldiers ragingly and shouted at the leader of the soldiers aggressively.

Liu Hanqin furrowed his brows and stayed silent. He could not order his soldiers to fight those people. The secret lab had already been exposed, so he needed some people to be scapegoats.

"What's happening here has nothing to do with Chief. Chief does not know about it. The man who's running this place is definitely the lab leader. Don't listen to some people's lie. They're trying to frame the good people. Move! We need to collect evidence. Don't interfere with our work!" Liu Hanqin thought for a moment and then said to the people loudly.

"Bullsh*t! What do you mean that this has nothing to do with Li Zhengye? What do you mean don't listen to some people's lie? Li Zhengye is not a qualified base leader! Without his permission, who has the power to build such a huge experimental base in the base? Do you think that we're all idiots?" The leader of the group of people yelled at Liu Hanqin angrily.

As the two groups were confronting each other, a great number of soldiers had been searching through the base for zombies. Soon, they heard that a man was found dead where the woman, who came out of Li Zhengye's place in the morning, lived.

"A piece of his neck was bitten off, and he's infected by the zombie virus. But, who put the bullet into his forehead?" Cui Tengguang went there as soon as he heard the news. He looked at the dead body with confusion as he said to his men.

"We don't know. We've asked everyone nearby about it, but no one saw what happened. However, some heard screams and yells. A security guy from the neighborhood shot the bullet after he found the man in the morning. He was worried that the man might wake up as a zombie, so he shot him," Cui Tengguang's assistant reported to him.

"So, there are zombies in the base. It's weird though! It has been a whole day, but only one person got attacked by the zombies," Cui Tengguang still didn't understand.

At that point, a soldier ran over in a hurry and first saluted to him, then said, "Sir, I heard from the fence wall that a large zombie crowd was found five miles away from the south gate. They are approaching our base. A massive zombie crowd is forming."

Cui Tengguang gave a start when he heard the soldier. "What? A massive zombie crowd? Do you know how many zombies are out there?"

"About ten-thousand," said the soldier, "More have been gathering toward us. The fence wall is already on secondary alert."

Cui Tengguang blinked and murmured, "Are those zombies out there summoned by the high-leveled ones in our base?"

"Sir, what do we do now?" Cui Tengguang's assistant asked him for instructions.

"Let's go there and take a look. Send more people to search every corner of the base!"

"Yes, sir!"

As Cui Tengguang and his men were heading toward the south gate, the woman who came out of Li Zhengye's room in the morning was hiding in her apartment, walking around in her bedroom in a panic.

Earlier in the afternoon, some soldiers asked her about the dead man who was found around the corner, so she lied out of fear. She told them she knew nothing about the dead man because she didn't want to be caught for investigation. Even if she told the truth, the others wouldn't believe her. After all, she was with that man before he died. He died while she stayed perfectly unharmed. She did not know how to explain that.

Her husband was out of the base on a mission while she was at home alone with her parents.

She had no idea what to do. She didn't dare to tell the truth to her parents.

She saw a zombie and a man in sunglasses, who was with the zombie. The man must have brought the zombie into the base for some kind of purpose. Even thinking about that made her feel terrified!

However, they didn't hurt her. Why? Weren't they worried that she might tell the others about what she saw after she woke up?

She walked to the window and looked outside. Soldiers ran across the neighborhood from time to time, seemingly searching for something.

Gunshots could even be heard from time to time.

'Why were there gunshots? Did they find something?' The woman wondered.
