469 A Fair Deal

Li Hongsheng had the green power, and hence, the keenest sensations among the whole group. So, if even he couldn't sense her, no one could.

Lin Qiao had come so close to them, and none of them knew about it. So, if she directly launched attacks on them, how many of those people could possibly survive?

She had no hostility toward those people now, so she showed her face to them. With these thoughts, Li Hongsheng and Duan Juan put their guns down. They still didn't trust Lin Qiao, but they had already relaxed a little.

The others didn't drop their guns like the two of them, still pointing them at Lin Qiao.

Duan Juan looked at the strange woman in front of her. There was no vibe to be sensed from Lin Qiao, and her eyes were hiding behind a pair of sunglasses. She was wearing a camouflage suit which wasn't a standard military uniform, and she wasn't wearing any holsters.

Outside the base, almost every human being was armed, whether he or she had superpowers or not. However, Lin Qiao carried no weapon.

"How will you kill Yang Jianhua for us?" Duan Juan didn't ask Lin Qiao what she could do, but asked what she would do.

Lin Qiao observed Duan Juan and found that the latter looked slightly different from before, but the change wasn't drastic. It was just like how she felt when she first saw Lin Feng, Yuan Tianxing, and the others. They had all changed a little, but not largely. That was how people might feel when they saw someone that they hadn't seen for a long time.

As Duan Juan asked the question calmly, Lin Qiao responded, "You only need to know that I can do it. You don't have to do anything. Actually, you can stand aside and watch. If you really want him dead, I can kill him for you."

"Are you sure?" Duan Juan looked at her with doubts. She knew that Lin Qiao might have the power to kill everyone in this room. But, Yang Jianhua wasn't like them. He wouldn't be killed so easily.

Anyhow, he was at the top of level-six.

"If you don't believe me, follow me into Hades Base and watch me do it. And, if I kill Yang Jianhua, can you promise me one thing?" Lin Qiao thought for a second and then asked. Before, she couldn't defeat Yang Jianhua; but now, she totally had the power to kill him, as she had already broken into level-six.

In order to earn these people's trust, she was willing to kill Yang Jianhua first. According to what people said, Yang Jianhua might have set a giant trap for her after the apocalypse. So, she also considered killing him as her revenge.

"Alright! If you really can kill him, I'll do anything you want," Duan Juan nodded without hesitation.

Lin Qiao said, "I think… you should know where the leader of Hades Base… disappeared, right?"

She almost said the word 'died', but then she realized that she shouldn't keep talking about her own death, because that sounded like cursing herself.

Hearing her question, Duan Juan and the others were all surprised slightly.

"Why are you asking about that place?" Duan Juan couldn't help but ask.

"You don't need to know why. You only need to tell me where it is. What do you think? I'll kill the man for you, and you'll give me the information. I think it's a fair deal, isn't it?" Lin Qiao smiled faintly.

"Why are you so sure that we know where it is?" said Li Hongsheng.

Lin Qiao glanced at him and then laughed, "I surely know. I sense things too."

Of course, she wouldn't tell them that she had faintly sensed their thoughts as soon as she asked her question.

The others might be in confusion, but both Duan Juan and Li Hongsheng had something flash across their minds at that moment. Therefore, Lin Qiao was sure that they know where that place was.

Duan Juan didn't hesitate. "Alright!" She responded, "After you kill that scum Yang Jianhua, I'll take you to that place, and do whatever you want me to do."

"Good! It's a deal then! Tomorrow, I'll head to Hades Base. If you would like to come along, don't forget to keep a distance from us," Lin Qiao clapped her hands and nodded.

Duan Juan nodded as well. Then, she watched Lin Qiao turn and open the door to leave.

She showed up suddenly, and left quickly.

Li Hongsheng turned to Duan Juan and said uncertainly, "Can she… really kill him?"

"We'll find out tomorrow. Also, the place she wants to go is not really a secret. I think she wants to kill Yang Jianhua too," Duan Juan crossed her arms and rested her chin on a palm, thinking for a moment before speaking.

Li Hongsheng looked at her silently, while the others were both confused and curious.

Who on earth was that suddenly appearing woman?

…

Next morning, Lin Qiao headed toward Hades Base.

Following the scents of human beings, she walked on the cleared broad road and soon arrived at Hades Base.

She stood on top of a tall building and looked at the fence wall which was at seven or eight hundred of meters away. There were lots of cracks on top of the ten-meters-tall fence wall; but thankfully, the lower part of the wall was still undamaged. Otherwise, zombies would have crawled their way in.

The area outside the wall used to be a clearing, but now, it was filled with zombies.

Those zombies didn't surround the wall, but gathered in a few spots.

Those spots were more than ten meters away from the entrance of the base. Thousands of zombies gathered in those areas, trying to climb up the wall.

That was because living human beings were hanging on the wall in lines!

Looking at those people who were hanging on the wall and whose vibes were already very weak, Lin Qiao slightly narrowed her eyes and then glanced at the entrance of the base.

Yang Jianhua and Long Yubai used living human beings to lure those zombies away from the entrance, so they wouldn't be attacked by zombies when they entered or exited the base.

Those poor people were hanging in different spots, and ordinary zombies piled in those areas. Occasionally, one or two level-two or three zombies would leap high, then grab a leg and violently pull it downward.

When that happened, the owner of that leg would be torn into two; the blood and guts would fall from the sky, and the zombie crowd down on the ground would be stirred. After that, someone would immediately cut off the rope from the top of the wall and let the upper half of that person fall as well to feed zombies.

Some unwounded people fell from the wall as well, screaming and struggling intensely.

Lin Qiao couldn't even bear watching all this. Yang Jianhua and Long Yubai actually treated those commoners from Hades Base in such a cruel way. 'They are really crazy and sick.'
