Dongfang Yang looked at Shui Mingjun. While processing his words, the former said, "Are you saying that she got Long Hair's information from your mind? What were you thinking at that moment?"
Shui Mingjun dropped his eyelids, his eyelashes covering his eyes. "Everything about him, and something that happened before. Her words reminded me about that person," he said with a cold voice.
Dongfang Yang didn't know about his relationship with Long Hair. "So… she knew everything you were thinking at that moment. This is so dangerous. Nothing can be kept secret from her."
"Will she go and find that person?" He blinked and continued, "How powerful do you think she is? Can she deal with Long Hair? I think she's quite powerful…"
Shui Mingjun shook his head and said, "I don't know. I can't tell her power level. I think she's at level-seven. I don't think she's strong enough to defeat a dual-powered level-seven being. But, she said that she won't kill him."
"Eh? Why?" Dongfang Yang didn't understand, but the other stayed silent. The woman said she would let Shui Mingjun kill the man himself. She sounded so confident, as if she had already succeeded. Could she do what she said?
…
That night somewhere in the Northwest, the man with shoulder-length hair received a piece of news. He turned to look at his subordinate and said sullenly, "What do you mean by Sky Fire Base is encircled by zombies? Why haven't I heard anything about that before? Why didn't you tell me that earlier?"
The subordinate was a strong man, over six feet tall and looking ferocious. There were even some scary scars on his face. However, facing the long-haired man, he bent his back and dropped his head while speaking carefully, "The… the news was delivered to us just now. I think it's an emergency situation. Sky Fire Base is in chaos now. I heard that Xiao Guofeng is dead, and Li Zhengye has gone missing. The zombie experiment has been exposed. Currently, many residents in the base are trying to start a war against the army. The conflict has paused because of the zombie attack though."
The long-haired man narrowed his eyes as he looked at his subordinate and said, "So… the massive zombie attack is real, isn't it? Li Zhengye has gone missing? Even Xiao Guofeng is dead? How useless are they! How could they go missing and die at this very moment?"
He was having his eyes on the level-nine superpower possessor, and was ready to make a move. However, an accident happened on Li Zhengye's side. What if that man ran out of Sky Fire Base to another base? If that happened, all the efforts that he and Li Zhengye had made would be in vain.
The tall man didn't know what to say.
Well, the reason why Li Zhengye went missing was still unknown, but Xiao Guofeng was clearly not willing to die. He didn't dare to argue with his boss though. He might die if he happened to displease his boss.
The man saw his subordinates' lives as nothing. He could kill them just because he was in a bad mood.
There was a man that he wanted to kill who was seemingly living in Sky Fire Base. If the massive zombie attack truly destroyed the base, that man might show up. And if that happened, he would never miss the opportunity to kill that man.
"The massive zombie attack might make Shui Mingjun show his face. If you don't go back, he might run away again. He's so good at hiding. It's not gonna be easy for you to find him again," The tall man couldn't help but remind Yan Huiguang.
Yan Huiguang, the long-haired man, thought for a moment and said, "You're right. But if I leave, Huaxia people might make a move here before us. Things would be troublesome if they get the level-nine man."
The tall man said, "It's not gonna be easy. The level-nine man has consumed a lot of energy, but he still has level-nine power. Besides, aren't those Green Mountain Base people still here? They won't possibly watch Huaxia Base people make a move on them without trying to stop them."
Yan Huiguang coldly glanced at him and said, "I surely know all that. What I'm worried about is accidents. Do you understand? An accident can ruin everything. Don't you know that? What if Lan Lu failed to stop Si Kongchen and let Si Kongchen get the level-nine nucleus?"
The tall man instantly stopped talking and just looked at the long-haired man. 'So, it depends on if you want to give up on revenge or the chance of upgrade.' he thought.
Yan Huiguang knitted his eyebrows while his vibe grew colder and colder. A short while later, he abruptly raised his head and said, "We're going back to Sky Fire Base. Gather all our people and take all our weapons!"
"Yes, sir!"
Then, something else crossed his mind. "Have Sky Fire Base people delivered the news to Sea City Base and Huaxia Base?"
The tall man shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I think so. They'll definitely ask those two bases for help if they aren't stupid."
"Go and get ready. I'll head there now. Catch up with me as soon as possible."
Having finished talking, Yan Huiguang turned and went out of the building, He hopped onto the roof, then put two fingers in his mouth and let out a long and sharp whistle. Once the whistle faded, a series of figures showed up before him. Those creatures' faces weren't seen clearly in the darkness, but a cold and lifeless vibe could be sensed from their bodies.
"Follow me!" He said to those creatures, then leaped off the building. An off-road car with the lights on was soon driven to his side. He got into the car and then moved toward Sky Fire Base.
From the roof, the tens of creatures swiftly followed behind the car like beasts of the night.
What Yan Huiguang did not know was that he was the only one who had heard the news. Lin Qiao didn't let the news reach Huaxia Base or Sea City Base. Nothing would happen even if the news did reach Sea City Base though.
At dawn, Lin Qiao crossed her legs and sat down on a roof. "When do you think Yan Huiguang will get here?" she asked Duan Juan.
The latter looked at her and said, "Why are you so sure that he'll come here? Hasn't he been having his eyes on that crazy level-nine man? Will anyone give up on a level-nine nucleus and throw himself into such a chaos?"
Lin Qiao smiled and said, "I'm not sure. It depends on how important the bearded man is to Yan Huiguang. What I can tell for sure is that he is pretty important to the bearded man."
"How important?" said Duan Juan.
Lin Qiao glanced at her and said, "So important that he wants to die together with that man… I think Yan Huiguang is the only reason why Shui Mingjun is still alive."
Duan Juan stayed a few seconds looking at Lin Qiao in silence, then said, "Do they hate each other so much?"
Lin Qiao shrugged as she curved her lips downward and said, "Who knows! I felt that Shui Mingjun has only darkness in his mind, without any light, hope, or anything else. He's only alive to kill Yan Huiguang."
"What a miserable life!" said Duan Juan.
