"Wha-what is it?" The group of men who were stared at by Lin Qiao looked at her very nervously. Their bodies were tightened up as if they were ready to run at any time while their foreheads were covered in sweat. They were relieved slightly when they heard what Lin Qiao said, but they started to worry in the meantime as well.
What the woman wanted them to do could not be anything good!
Lin Qiao rested her hands in her pockets as she walked toward the door while speaking, "Li Zhengye is dead, and the fact that he did a zombie experiment using the residents in his base has been exposed. I think you guys better explain that to the people in your base thoroughly. Li Zhengye has died, so you don't need to keep the secret for him anymore."
"Chief is dead? That's impossible… Eh…" The people on the scene paused briefly when they heard about Li Zhengye's death. They refused to believe that at first. However, before one of them could finish his words, they recalled how the woman strangled Xiao Guofeng straight to death.
Glancing at Xiao Guofeng's headless body, the man who was talking shut his mouth immediately.
Seeing Lin Qiao come out, the people on the scene stepped backward with fear. The soldiers behind carefully drew back after receiving their commanders' signals.
"You've been searching for him the whole day. You didn't find a clue, did you? Are you still unwilling to take my offer? Do you guys want to… die?" While speaking, Lin Qiao glanced at each of them in a meaningful way.
The people didn't know how to argue with her.
"Alright… Alright… We get it!" No matter what she wanted, they decided to agree to what she might say and save their own lives first.
Lin Qiao nodded, then walked out of the office.
"Wait, who-who are you?" One of the people gathered his courage to ask her. The look on his face was complicated.
The woman killed Xiao Guofeng easily, meaning that she must be powerful. If she were from Sky Fire Base, she might help to protect the base against the zombie crowd which was approaching the base. If she weren't from Sky Fire Base, and if she were only in the base to kill people, the base would fall, as there were no level-seven people left to stop the zombies.
"I'm here to kill Li Zhengye and his men. You should feel lucky that you weren't a part of the army that attacked Hades Base last year. Otherwise, you wouldn't have a chance to talk to me."
After saying that, Lin Qiao flashed across the air and disappeared in front of the group of people.
"Is-is she from Hades Base? Is she here for revenge?"
"Who the hell is she? She has Lin Qiao's poisonous fire. Is she from Hades Base? She isn't weaker than Lin Qiao, is she?"
"She said we should feel lucky because we didn't attack Hades Base, so she should be here to take revenge for Hades Base. Even Xiao Guofeng has died in her hands so easily. I think she didn't lie to us about Chief's death."
"Ah! She could have shown up earlier or later, but instead, she showed up at this very moment… How are we supposed to deal with the zombie crowd out there now? Without a powerful person, the army and the weapons aren't enough to protect the base. If a zombie dominator showed up, who's gonna fight it?"
While those people were feeling lucky about survival and troubled over the unsolvable problem, Cui Tengguang walked over and looked at them bewilderedly as he said, "Eh? Why are you all standing out here? What's going on?"
The people looked at him sullenly, then dropped their heads and pointed into the office. Cui Tengguang turned and looked into the office, only to see someone lying in there.
"What… has happened here? What happened?" He rushed into the office and saw the headless body lying under the chair near the tea table, wearing a familiar suit. He observed the headless body with both surprise and confusion. "Thi-this isn't Xiao Guofeng, is this?"
"Yes, this is him. He was killed by a horrible woman who showed up all of a sudden."
"How… How come you guys are fine?" Cui Tengguang looked at them in shock.
"That woman only wanted to kill Xiao Guofeng. None of us sensed her coming. She already had him in her hand when she showed her face."
Cui Tengguang spent a short while observing Xiao Guofeng's body, then asked, "What was that woman like? I can't believe she killed Xiao Guofeng. Even a level-eight person would have to make quite some noise to kill Xiao Guofeng, right?"
"She has invisibility, as well as the power that Lin Qiao, the leader of Hades Base had. She also has a very strong vibe. We were all suppressed. Even Xiao Guofeng was suppressed completely. He couldn't even move."
"Why did she kill Xiao Guofeng? What does she want?" Cui Tengguang didn't understand.
"She said to us that we should feel lucky that we weren't a part of the army that attacked Hades Base last year. She said we wouldn't have a chance to talk to her otherwise. She also said that she has killed Chief too, and that we need to do her a favor if we want to live," said one of the others.
"What favor? Wait, did you say that she killed Chief?" said Cui Tengguang.
"She wants us to explain to people about the secret experiment thoroughly…"
After leaving, Lin Qiao found a corner with no one there and made a whistle. Soon, a few figures showed up by her sides.
She said to her zombies, "Alright, Li Zhengye and Xiao Guofeng have died, and our work here is done. Let's now go outside the base and stay there."
"Are we leaving already? What do we do next?" Xie Dong asked her.
Lin Qiao glanced at the road led to Green Mountain Base and said, "We wait."
"Will the massive zombie attack continue?" Xie Dong asked another question.
"Sure. The man won't show up if we don't put Sky Fire Base in danger," Lin Qiao blinked her eyes and curved her lips in a mysterious smile.
"Will he come here," Xie Dong knew whom she was talking about. The man was in Green Mountain Base. Would he give up on the opportunity of attaining a level-nine nucleus and come back to Sky Fire Base? Was the base so important for him?
Lin Qiao glanced at him and explained, "No. What's important for him isn't this base, but someone who has been hiding in this base."
"Is that the person you went to see earlier today?" Xie Dong said knowingly.
Lin Qiao nodded, then turned and waved a hand, "Let's go! He won't be back so soon. At least, it will take time for the news to be delivered to him from here."
"I get it," Xie Dong nodded.
Lin Qiao's meaning was that if anyone left the base and headed toward Green Mountain Base, the zombie crowd should let the person go.
After bringing everyone else into her space, she moved toward one direction with a helpless look on her face. In that area, a zombie was having his limbs coiled on a tree in an alley, refusing to let go. A man in sunglasses was angrily trying to drag him off the tree by the back of his collar.
"Roar! You b*stard! Let go of that tree! We need to leave now! Or Chief might come here to punish you! Don't drag me into trouble! Can't you be normal? Let go!" Six was so infuriated. Why on earth did Chief make him deal with the troublemaker alone? He told himself that he would give the bad zombie back to Chief later on no matter how!
