All the soldiers in Sky Fire Base had jumped into action. They needed to find the zombies who were hiding in the base and suppress the residents who were raising a riot, while also dealing with the suddenly appearing massive zombie crowd. At first, the main army force was focused on those residents. But after hearing about the approaching zombie crowd, the army instantly transferred the main force to the fence wall.
"Is this how she'll be keeping the soldiers busy? Did she already know there will be a massive zombie attack tonight? That woman?" The lab leader has been hiding in a corner while paying attention to the outside. Hearing people say that Xiao Guofeng was sending the main army force to the fence wall, he recalled what Lin Qiao had said to him earlier.
"It's possible. She seemed pretty confident. She must have known about the massive zombie attack. Now, as there's a zombie attack, Xiao Guofeng and his men will have no spare attention for the people in the base." His assistant thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
"Director, what do we do next? The zombie attack isn't just the army's problem. If the army can't stop those zombies, we'll be in trouble too!" That was what the others were worried about.
"Yeah, if the army fails to stop the zombie crowd and lets them break into the base, we'll gain nothing!"
The director didn't look relaxed. He looked at the man who was responsible for receiving the news and asked, "What do we know about the zombie crowd?"
The man responded, "I heard the zombie crowd is currently out of the south gate, still a few miles away from the base. I don't know the exact number, but I guess it's a large crowd."
"Then keep an eye on Xiao Guofeng and see what he'll do." The director thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, sir."
At that time, Lin Qiao raised her head to look at the sky. It was getting dark soon. She glanced outside the base, then turned and leaped off the utility pole toward Xiao Guofeng's location. Li Zhengye had died, so the people who needed to die the next were his loyal followers. And Xiao Guofeng would be the first.
At the moment, Xiao Guofeng was sitting in his office, paying close attention to everything that had been happening.
"Someone leaked the secret about the experiment on purpose. Was it Dongfang Yang? If it wasn't him, why did he hide away?" Xiao Guofeng stared at the desk and said through clenched teeth.
"Last time, he took the liberty to hide some corpses from the lab. If Chief didn't find those corpses before anyone else, the secret would have been leaked long ago. It must be him!" The other army leader who was sitting beside him agreed.
"He was forced to do the experiment, and Chief still has his family. I don't think he'll risk his families' lives to do that." Someone had doubts.
"Chief didn't even tell us where he hid those hostages. Dongfang Yang has hidden away. He's definitely trying to save his family," said Xiao Guofeng.
Lin Qiao was standing by the door which wasn't closed. Quite some soldiers were sent to guard the place though. She glanced at Xiao Guofeng. The look in her eyes was peaceful, but the intent of killing was surging deep in her heart.
The b*stard had done quite some evil deeds back when he attacked Hades Base!
She didn't linger by the door for another second, but walked straight toward Xiao Guofeng, gripped his neck, and showed her face.
Bang! Xiao Guofeng gave a start and instantly started struggling as his throat was suddenly gripped. He reacted so strongly that he accidentally kicked the tea table before him.
"How is this…!" All the others sprung up from their seats and moved backward simultaneously with their eyes fixed on Lin Qiao who had shown up suddenly.
"Eh-hem-hem… You… Let go… of me…" Xiao Guofeng had his throat gripped so tight that he couldn't even breathe. He was a strong man, a level-seven superpower possessor, but still wasn't able to move even an inch in her hand. Also, his power had been disabled. All he could do was try and pull her hand away from his neck with one hand while reaching the other hand for the gun around his waist.
The people at his level did not need guns. However, he liked to have a gun with him.
Lin Qiao didn't give him a chance to draw his gun. After grasping his throat, she swept across his face with the other hand and sent a wisp of dark fire into his nose.
"Ahhhh… Ah… hem-hem… eh…" Xiao Guofeng popped his eyes. His eyeballs almost fell out of the sockets while his face was turning blue. He opened his mouth as wide as he could, and his face started twisting. He struggled intensely with his legs kicking and arms twitching.
"Stop it!" The others finally realized what was happening, so one of them shouted at Lin Qiao and then they attacked her together.
Those were only some level-six superpower possessors. So, Lin Qiao raised a hand and created a dark fire wall that devoured all their attacks.
"Netherworld fire! Netherworld fire! Are you Lin Qiao? Are you still alive!" The people on the scene were stunned to see the dark fire wall. One of them pointed at her and widened their eyes as he said in shock.
Hearing that man's words, the others automatically took a step backward. As they gave Lin Qiao a closer look, one of them said, "No, you don't look like Lin Qiao. Who the hell are you? What is your relationship with Lin Qiao?"
Lin Qiao didn't relax her grip on Xiao Guofeng. She turned to those people and smiled, "Guess… You'll be rewarded if you guess right."
While speaking, she suddenly put forth her strength through her wrist. Following a crack, Xiao Guofeng stopped moving and fell softly.
"You… You killed him!" Watching the level-seven man be killed so easily by the weird woman, everyone on the scene were frozen. They even forgot to run, and just gawked at Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao dropped Xiao Guofeng and conveniently swept across his face with a hand. Following her movement, a dark fire burned out of his head and shrouded his entire head.
"Aren't you gonna make any guess? I'm gonna make a move directly if you don't take a guess." She stood straight and folded her arms as she looked at the people who had shrunk back to the door but forgotten to react at all. With a smile, she kindly reminded them to do something.
After watching Xiao Guofeng's head be burnt out and a level-seven nucleus fall to the floor, those people fell into silence. They didn't dare to say a word, but slowly moved backward.
She had killed the level-seven man so easily, and they were only at level-six. They would die faster than him if they attacked her, wouldn't they?
Was the woman a level-eight superpower possessor?
Lin Qiao ignored those people. As Xiao Guofeng's head was burnt out, she bent over to pick the level-seven nucleus.
Great, she got the second level-seven nucleus! It was not as good as a level-eight one, but it was better than nothing.
Watching her movements, the people who were shrinking back paused out of fear. They stared at her and didn't dare to move again.
Lin Qiao put Xiao Guofeng's nucleus into her space, then turned to those people.
"Do you want to leave? I can let you leave on one condition. I won't kill you as long as you do me a favor," she said to them smilingly.
