632 If I Were You

"I wouldn't let those researchers get away with it if I were you," Lin Qiao said with a smile, as if she could read Lin Kui's mind.

Lin Kui had just sat down. Hearing her words, he looked at her with surprise. The look in his eyes changed slightly.

"It seems that you do have that kind of plan. I'll send you out when it gets dark," Lin Qiao was still wearing that smile on her lips corners.

Lin Kui looked at her without disagreeing; that was exactly what he wanted.

That night, Lin Qiao sneakily brought Lin Kui out of her space on top of a building. The latter took off his shirt and his body transformed quickly. Within a blink, he became a large, fluffy beast, then flashed across the darkness of night.

Lin Qiao turned and headed toward a flat that she had been in before.

Leng Xuantong had been restless all these days. On one hand, he was thinking about that mysterious woman; on the other hand, he thought about that zombie which had run away from the institute. Earlier on when he heard that the zombie wasn't caught, he instantly had a sense of crisis.

He knew that that zombie was almost as smart as human beings, and that zombies could all bear grudges! He worried that the zombie might find him through his scent. After all, he and his colleagues had spent a lot of time with it.

They locked it up, took its blood, and gave it drugs. It would surely hate them, and would want revenge.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

That was why Leng Xuantong had been in a panic these days.

"Don't worry, he won't come for you." Suddenly, a voice was heard in Leng Xuantong's quiet room. The latter shivered and sprung up from the couch, then noticed the tall and slim figure near the window.

"You!" After recognizing Lin Qiao, Leng Xuantong unwittingly sighed with relief. But soon, he thought of what she had just said. With a frown, he asked, "Is he… still in the base?"

Lin Qiao shrugged as she walked straight to the other couch and sat down. She put her foot on the tea table, her arms crossed before her chest, leaning against the back of the couch. Then, she slightly raised her head to look at him while saying, "Em, yeah, he's in the base. And, I don't think your colleagues can survive tonight. I came here to wait for him."

Leng Xuantong had a feeling that she was not lying. But, why was she helping him? Did she really intend to recruit him to her own base?

Earlier on, Lin Qiao had invited him to her base, but he didn't take that seriously. He only felt that she would show up again. Unexpectedly, earlier that day, he heard that the zombie was stolen. He was surprised, and wondered if it was her who stole it.

"Oh, I didn't steal that zombie. That was a plan of Huaxia Base. I saw them in my way, and conveniently picked him up," Lin Qiao read Leng Xuantong's mind. She did not want to take the blame.

She did want to steal the zombie. However, someone else did it first, so things had become different.

"Wha-what do you mean?" Leng Xuantong paused briefly, then looked at her and asked with confusion.

"On one hand, Si Kongchen wanted to move the zombie to somewhere harder to find, and on the other hand, he needed a reason to raise the price of the batch of antidote which you have now. So, he came up with this plan. In this way, he could tell the people from the other bases that the source of the most important raw material for the antidote was gone, so there would be no second batch of the antidote. That could also make those people suspect each other. After all, all of them are interested in the zombie. Everybody knows it clearly. They just didn't write that on their faces," Lin Qiao explained in a bland tone.

After a short pause, she continued, "Si Kongchen is never willing to suffer a loss. How would he possibly generously share the small amount of antidote with the others? There must be a scheme!"

Leng Xuantong was a little stunned. He didn't expect to know such a shocking truth. He was clearly aware that knowing too much would do him no good!

If he knew what he shouldn't be knowing, he would really not be able to stay in the base!

"Are you… Are you talking the truth? Why would I believe you?" Leng Xuantong forced himself to calm down, telling himself that the woman was lying. If that were true, anyone who knew about that would be erased by Huaxia Base in the future.

"Believe it or not. I've told you all the secrets I know anyway. You can certainly choose not to believe me. But, there is one thing that you really should believe—the zombie will show up here soon," Lin Qiao lazily sat on the couch.

On the other side of the base, a dark figure swiftly climbed onto the roof, then crawled down through the window frames and balconies. Soon, it landed on a balcony in the building.

Lin Kui stood by the locked balcony door and abruptly reached out a claw.

Crack!

His claw went straight through the wooden door. After that, he crooked a finger and easily opened the lock.

He pushed the door open and quietly walked in, then stood still in the dark living room, because he had heard some noises from the bedroom.

The owner of the flat was one of the researchers in the antidote project. He was falling asleep when he heard the noise from the balcony. Earlier today, he went to the institute and heard that the zombie was stolen last night, and that it showed up in the morning, even running about in the base. Recalling that, he immediately woke up and alarmedly moved to the door, but didn't open it right away.

It was all quiet out there. He waited for a couple of minutes, but nothing could be heard.

He thought that he was mishearing, but didn't dare to relax his vigilance.

A short while later, he couldn't help but gently open the bedroom door. He looked outside and found the living room completely dark. He couldn't see a thing.

He turned to look at the balcony door. Right at that moment, a hand reached in sideways through the small space between the door and the frame, grasping his throat.

"Eh… Er-hem…" The fright, great pain from his throat, and sudden suffocation made him struggle. But in the next second, the hand from the darkness twisted with force and generated a muffled, slight crack. Following that noise, the researcher died, with broken neck bones, suffocation, and exploded veins.

After that, the dark figure flashed out from the balcony and disappeared again.

On the other side, Leng Xuantong was uneasily pacing in his living room, glancing at the woman who was sitting leisurely on his couch. At last, he couldn't help but stop and ask her a question.

"When will it be here?"

Lin Qiao understood that he was asking when Lin Kui would come to his place. She narrowed her eyes and said, "There are over ten people in your team, and adding about twenty special security people who helped you to keep him under control, he has nearly forty targets. I think… he will be here in three hours."
