The wanted person had already been caught. Lin Qiao lifted Yan Huiguang, turned and walked away. "Let's go," she said to her zombies.
Her zombies left fleetingly, leaving Yan Huiguang's subordinates looking at each other without knowing what to do.
"She… She took Chief away. What are we supposed to do next? Should we go and save him?" A man moved to the tall guy's side and asked him.
The tall guy stood up, dusted himself off, then looked at Lin Qiao's back. He remained silent for a short while. After that, he said, "Who is gonna save him? We don't even know who they are. They are clearly much stronger than we are. They just didn't want to kill us."
"But… But if we don't save him? No one will be getting food for us from those bases, right? We're going to starve to death, aren't we?" someone said in a panic.
"Relax! We can keep working with those bases without him. We do have some experimental means, and the drugs we produce can be sold to the bases. Even if we can't make the drugs, we still have weapons, don't we? Worst case, we can kill zombies for those people and protect them as payment," said the tall guy.
"Oh… Okay."
After bringing Yan Huiguang away from the site, Lin Qiao said to her zombies, "Alright, dismiss the zombie crowd. We don't need those zombies anymore."
The zombie crowd was only there to lure Yan Huiguang. She, of course, wouldn't bring a real massive zombie attack to Sky Fire Base.
"Yes, Ma'am!" the zombies responded and left.
Lin Kui had left as well. After all, the tens of thousands of zombies that had surrounded the entire Sky Fire Base needed to be dismissed from all directions.
Lin Qiao watched her zombies leave, then found a tall building, hopped onto the roof, gave a long roar to the surrounding zombies.
"Roar!" 'Fall back!'
Her voice spread into the distance. Following that, the zombies that had gathered for tens of miles around the area started to move backward slowly.
Lin Qiao threw Yan Huiguang into her space, turned herself invisible, and moved toward Sky Fire Base. She quickly located Shui Mingjun by his vibe, and before long, she quietly showed up behind that man.
Shui Mingjun was standing atop a building that was located not far away from the fence wall, gazing into the distance.
Thud! A man suddenly fell on the floor before him, giving him a start.
"Who are you!" He gave a closer look and found the man lying on the ground quietly, like a dead body.
"Long Hair!" He popped his eyes with surprise as he looked more closely.
"If you want to kill him, you can do it now." A woman's voice was heard from behind.
Shui Mingjun immediately turned back—it was the woman who visited him in his basement yesterday.
"You… you really caught him? Is he…" Shui Mingjun looked at her with disbelief. He was shocked.
In his eyes, Yan Huiguang had always been highly dangerous. He was not only powerful, but also extra vigilant. His level-seven wind power could allow him to escape easily from all kinds of danger. Except for the ones who knew him well and the ones who were much stronger than him, no one could possibly capture him.
However, at that very moment, Yan Huiguang was at his feet, lying motionlessly.
He turned back to look at Yan Huiguang. The man had his eyes closed tightly. His mouth corners were turning purple, and his face was abnormally pale. His vibe was unbelievably weak.
"He took the zombie drug that he developed. He must have had a brain fart when he made that decision. I suppressed the virus inside him with another drug, so he's now like this. Don't you want to kill him? Why are you still concerned about his condition?" Lin Qiao said with a bland tone. While finishing her speech, she gave Shui Mingjun a weird glance.
"Yes, I do want to kill him," said Shui Mingjun, "But before that, I need to know why he shot me in the back years ago. What on earth did I do that made him do that?"
Lin Qiao thought for a moment and said, "I think he said that you betrayed him."
Earlier, Long Hair said that Shui Mingjun had betrayed him again. At that time, Lin Qiao read his mind and learned that he was talking about something that happened a long time ago.
"I betrayed him?" Shui Mingjun paused briefly with surprise and said, "When did I betray him?"
Lin Qiao folded her arms, looked at him, and said, "I'm curious about this. You two have been trying to kill each other over the past few years. Why did you never figure out what started the whole thing?"
The look in Shui Mingjun's eyes sank as he said, "Even if it was a misunderstanding, his bullets had hit me and caused harm. I gave him chances. I wanted to hear him explain, then decide if I'd forgive him or not. However, he never explained. Every time, he launched attacks without saying anything."
Lin Qiao looked at Yan Huiguang, who was lying quietly on the ground. "What are you gonna do now?" she said. "Are you going to kill him? He won't wake up, even if you don't kill him. He's not going to die by himself, but I think he's infected by the zombie virus already."
Shui Mingjun stared at Yan Huiguang. The look in his eyes changed constantly. The cold intention of killing and painful hesitation were detected from his eyes in turns. His attitude was firm before he saw Yan Huiguang, but from the moment he saw him in person, he started hesitating.
He thought for a moment, then looked at Lin Qiao and asked her, "What will you do if I told you that I won't kill him? If I guessed right, you're the Chief lady from All Beings Base. I guess he is the main reason you came to Sky Fire Base. Finishing off Li Zhengye is only something you did out of convenience."
Shui Mingjun had no idea why the woman killed the leaders of Hidden Cloud City Base, Earth Dragon Base, and Sky Fire Base after she built her own base. She seemed to be avenging Lin Qiao, the Chief lady of Hades Base. Or, she was probably avenging the lives of the Hades Base personnel that were taken by the intruders. Her family probably died in that war.
Clearly, killing Li Zhengye was not the only reason why she came to Sky Fire Base.
Hearing his question, Lin Qiao thought for a moment and then said, "As I've told you, he knows too much. I was going to kill him. After all, only dead people can stay silent forever. But later on, I changed my mind. After all, I have very few doctors in my base. I might spare his life, if he's willing to work for me. But now, he's become like this. I don't know if he'll ever wake up. What do you think I should do?"
Simply speaking, Yan Huiguang could either work for her, or die with her secret, so she would have no worry.
She wasn't being honest when she told Shui Mingjun she had no idea if Yan Huiguang would wake up or not. The man could surely wake up if she bit him and let her virus devour the virus in him.
She needed to find a way to stop the man's madness
So, she decided to use Shui Mingjun—someone she cared a lot about—to control Yan Huiguang.
