623 The Leader Of Huaxia Base

The tall man coldly stared at that squad member, staying silent.

The longer he stayed quiet, the more sweat did that squad member shed. A drop of sweat ran off his temple. A few sweat drops had already fallen on the ceramic floor before his knees.

"Go!" The tall man abruptly turned and said a word, then walked back behind his desk and sat down.

"Yes, sir!" The squad member was instantly relieved. He hurriedly responded, then stood up and left quietly.

Behind the desk, the tall man crossed his arms before his chest and knitted his eyebrows. His bright eyes glowed while his forefinger tapped his arm slowly.

"Chief, should we… inform the other chairmen about this?" Two men in military uniforms stood by the desk. One of them glanced at the door, then turned and asked the man who was sitting behind the desk.

The man behind the desk was the only leader of Huaxia Base, named Si Kongchen.

Si Kongchen was a level-eight possessor of fire power, the first level-eight superpowered man in the country. A year ago when he broke into level-eight, he abolished the multi-leader policy in Huaxia Base and started a monarchy. He decided that only the strongest person could lead the base. The other base leaders who were at level-seven had no choice but to accept his decision, and formed the Board of Directors of Huaxia Base. Currently, they were like the elders of the base.

However, that was only a change of title. Their powers and duties hadn't changed at all. Knowing that, those chairmen slowly accepted the new policy.

There were seven chairmen in Huaxia Base, all at level-seven. They couldn't become the Chief of the base unless they defeated Si Kongchen. However, they weren't willing to stay under his autocracy, so they became allies, slowly forming a force to balance the Chief.

Below the seven chairmen were eighteen Deputy Chiefs. Some of them were at level-six, and some had recently entered level-seven. They were divided into two groups: one group followed Si Kongchen's orders and the other was under the Board's command.

Huaxia Base was the top survivors' base in the country. It was not only powerful, but controlled many advanced technologies. Nearly two million survivors lived in that base, many of whom were scientific talents. So naturally, the base had achieved rapid development in technology. Added with the fact that many residents of the base were strong superpowered beings, the base was much more advanced than the other bases in food storage, medical technology, military power, and many other aspects.

The two men in the conference room were both Deputy Chiefs.

"Not for now. Just go and find out what exactly has happened! Find them, alive or dead. Even if there're no dead bodies, there'll always be some traces. The squad leader is a level-six superpowered man after all. It's impossible for him to be killed without realizing anything or being able to react." Si Kongchen shook his head, then raised his head and gave the two a task.

"Yes, sir!" The two turned and left without saying anything else.

After watching them walk out of the door, Si Kongchen turned his head, thinking about all the possibilities.

That was an elite squad; the squad leader was at level-six. It wasn't possible for them to be wiped out without leaving a trace, unless the enemy was at level-seven or level-eight. The other squad members were all at level-five. Together, they were no weaker than a level-six man.

However, a squad like that just vanished. Who had the power to destroy a well-trained, quick-witted, strong squad like that without leaving any traces?

The leader of Sea City Base had lightning power. Loud noises would certainly be caused when he launched an attack. Besides, he would leave at least some dark, burning marks behind. Lu Zhuofeng from Hidden Cloud City Base had wind power. He liked to cut people to death with wind blades; so, if it were him, there would be some blood stains to be found. Lan Lu from Green Mountain Base had a pretty special power. His spirit power allowed him to kill a person with one mere thought. Also, his background was a little strange.

That man was the most probable suspect! Not to mention the fact that he brought two level-seven subordinates!

"Guard!" He abruptly yelled toward the door.

"Chief!" Someone quickly came in.

"Tell Deputy Chief Hou to pay close attention to those Green Mountain Base people and find out what they're going to do tonight," Si Kongchen didn't even raise his head, looking at the desk while speaking.

"Yes, sir!" That man accepted the order and left.

Except for the three level-eight men who were able to directly kill people with violence, the other base leaders were all at level-seven, and their powers were not special. If Gu Yikang from Sky Fire Base were here, he might be suspected too, as he had a poisonous fire. However, he was only a level-seven man, meaning that he couldn't possibly kill the whole squad with one move. He might kill one or two in that squad at one time. Besides, his fire was green, and wasn't as powerful as netherworld fire of the old Hades Base leader.

Also, his fire wasn't able to take lives immediately, but could only poison people and kill them slowly. Level-six people could survive for ten minutes after being poisoned by his fire, while level-five people could only last three minutes.

Therefore, if it were Gu Yikang who attacked them, the squad would have at least three minutes to fight back.

That was only a hypothesis. Gu Yikang didn't come to Huaxia Base. Instead of him, Li Zhengye the snow-powered man was here.

The leaders of the rest two bases who had come to Huaxia were both at level-seven as well. It was more unlikely for them to be the one who destroyed the squad.

Si Kongchen thought about it over and over again. None of the possibilities he came up with seemed to be right, but he still believed that it was one of those powerful people who killed the squad. So, he analyzed those people in his head without missing any of them.

Huaxia base set a trap for other people. However, as someone else discovered it and gave them a push, they fell into the trap themselves.

At the same time, the people from the other bases had also been trying to figure out who stole the zombie. No one planned to get any sleep that night. Ordinary superpowered people could stay energetic for a couple of days without sleeping, not to mention those high-leveled ones.

"Um… It wasn't her, was it?" In Wu Chengyue's room, Xiao Licheng glanced at the door and then said to Wu Chengyue with a low voice.

She had a space, and was able to turn invisible! No one was more suitable for the job than she was!

"Stop talking nonsense! Who are you talking about? Huaxia Base is so strictly guarded. I don't think anyone we know can do it. Even if someone did do it, it'd be impossible for him or her to leave the base. So now, he or she must have been hiding somewhere in the base," Wu Chengyue glanced at him and said meaningfully.

"You're right," Xiao Licheng hurriedly ended the conversation.
