Lu Tianyi had a delighted look flashing across his eyes, but he didn't let that become obvious. Instead, he turned to say to Kong Qingming, "Don't talk nonsense in the base."
After all, there would be a trouble if her true identity was exposed in the base.
"I get it," Kong Qingming rolled his eyes and responded.
Lu Tianyi then turned to Lin Qiao and said, "It's really you. I thought Chief Wu was looking for someone else!"
Lin Qiao gave him a glance, then asked, "Why did you come here so late?"
"Our Chief received a message which says that Yang Chao is preparing to do something to those Hades Base people, then make Chief Wu take the blame. We're here to inform the Hades Base people about that," said Lu Tianyi.
Lin Qiao turned toward the way Shen Yujen had disappeared, then spent a moment sensing her current situation. She should be safe hiding in the darkness of night.
After that, she turned back to say to Lu Tianyi, "You go and find them now. I need to leave for a while. I still have one problem to solve."
Finishing talking, she glanced up at the residential area that Yuan Tianxing and the others stayed in, then suddenly disappeared in front of Lu Tianyi and his friends.
"What problem?" Lu Tianyi, Kong Qingming and the others looked at each other, and one of them asked that question.
Kong Qingming shook his head and said, "I don't know. We should go upstairs to find them first. It's getting late. Let's just finish our job and go back early."
After saying that, he abruptly stared at Lu Tianyi with disdain, continuing, "It's you who told me to keep an eye on those people, but just now, you actually gave the credit to our Chief. You're so shameless!"
Lu Tianyi gave him a smile, then looked around and nodded. While walking toward the residential area, he responded, "If I didn't do that, my motivation would become suspicious, wouldn't it? Did she bring that zombie woman in here? That woman seems to have become a true zombie. I wonder what will happen to Piao at last."
Kong Qingming shrugged and replied, "Who knows? I hope he becomes a zombie, so I can just blow his head off."
At that point, Huang Shou, who was behind the two of them, asked, "Ugh… Is it bad for that female zombie to stay in the base? She'll bite people, won't she?"
Lu Tianyi answered that question carelessly, "No. The zombies she brought in won't bite people randomly. You've seen what happened just now. That female zombie acted like normal human beings in front of us. She only targeted Piao. It'll be fun if he turns into a zombie too."
"Don't we need to follow Piao to see what's happening now?" asked Huang Shou.
"No need," Kong Qingming smiled, "He's definitely heading to the research institute. That's their territory. It'll be more fun to let him bring troubles to his own people."
"Don't worry!" Lu Tianyi, said "I don't think he has a big chance of surviving even if he makes it to the research institute. Also, some people in the research institute are under Chief Wu's command. He going there will provide Chief Wu with a great reason, won't it?"
Hearing that, Huang Shou and the others glanced at each other. "So, it's none of our business now?"
Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming both nodded.
…
Lin Qiao turned invisible, then entered that residential area and walked toward a residential building. As she got close enough, she hopped onto the balconies and climbed straight to the roof.
On the roof, she stood by a corner, looking at a man on top of the stair room.
She was a little surprised to find that this man had actually managed to enter the base. Also, she wondered who this robber leader prepared to make moves on.
She didn't know who was Tang He's target, and Tang He didn't know that someone was already staring at him from behind.
He glanced at the area where Piao Gecang and Lu Tianyi were lingering before, then showed a grim look.
"Douchebag!" He cursed with a frown, then turned and prepared to leave. However, he paused for a second once he turned around, then looked around. As he found nothing suspicious, he began wondering if he had been overthinking just now.
After that, he turned back around and leaped off the building; following behind him was an invisible figure.
Before leaping off, Lin Qiao glanced at Lin Wenwen's room. She was very glad that she came back in time, because something terrible nearly happened in this place.
Also…
She then glanced at Lu Tianyi and his friends.
'That kid thinks I don't know what he's been thinking?' she thought.
…
On the other side, Lu Tianyi and his friends went into the residential area, then took the stairs to Yuan Tianxing and Lin Wenwen' rooms. After reaching there, Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming each knocked on a door.
Long Qingying opened the door and saw a pretty man. She had to glance down at his chest to confirm that the person she saw wasn't a woman.
"How can I help you?" she said.
The wicked smile froze on Kong Qingming's face as a sharp-eyed woman had just looked at his chest to confirm his gender. But soon, he forgot about that uncomfortable feeling and smiled again while asking, "I wonder if Lin Wenwen is here."
Long Qingying motionlessly glanced at the others outside the door, then re-fixed her eyes on Kong Qingming and asked, "Who are they? Why are you looking for Wenwen?"
Being stared at by her laser-sharp eyes, Kong Qingming got seriously nervous. He abruptly took two steps backward, then reached a hand backward and dragged over Lu Tianyi, who had just knocked on the other door.
"Um… You take this side," he said.
Lu Tianyi, who was suddenly dragged over, didn't know what was happening. He confusedly glanced at Long Qingying, then turned to Kong Qingming who was wearing a weird smile. After that, he looked at the others with puzzles in his eyes.
'What's going on?'
Huang Shou and the other two all spread their hands and shook their heads.
Kong Qingming stood before Yuan Tianxing's door and glanced back at Long Qingying. After that, he turned around with the back of his head toward the others.
At that moment, Yuan Tianxing's door was opened as well. Yuan Tianxing stuck his head out of the door and saw a few strangers standing outside. Not only had he opened the door, but Lin Wenwen's door was opened as well.
"What? Can I help you? Who are you?"
On the other side, seeing the weird behavior of those strangers, the cold-faced Long Qingying attempted to shut the door.
"Ugh… Please wait! We, um… We came here with a message about you guys. We want to tell you something. But of course, if you're not interested, we'll leave now," Lu Tianyi reacted fast enough to stop Long Qingying.
"About us?" Lin Wenwen's voice was heard. She had heard what Lu Tianyi said as she walked up behind Long Qingying and curiously looked at him and his friends. Long Qingying turned back and made an eye-contact with her, then continued to stare at Lu Tianyi and his friends disbelievingly.
At this point, Yuan Tianxing walked out from behind Du Yuanxing. He looked at Lu Tianyi and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Lu Tianyi, the Captain of Class Three, Agriculture Department of this base. This is my work ID. Don't worry, we aren't here to bring you any troubles," Lu Tianyi showed Yuan Tianxing his work ID while speaking.
