638 Hot Potato

"It's needless to ask, Wei. I bet Wu Chengyue has him. I guess he got the information from that squad member. Or, how would he spread the word so boldly? We should have killed that squad member when we found him, shouldn't we? He didn't only fail his mission, but also turned into a hidden trouble. What he knows is vital!" Liu Zhinan said to Si Kongchen with a smile.

Si Kongchen gave him a bland glance but stayed silent. He wouldn't answer that kind of boring questions. The most important thing now was to find the zombie as soon as possible. Also, if the squad member was still alive, he needed to make him die.

Huaxia People were thinking about how to kill the squad member, and Wu Chengyue had guessed that they would try to do so.

"Guard him well. Huaxia Base will certainly try to kill him." Wu Chengyue said to the people in his room smilingly.

"The question is… who will they send?" Xiao Licheng frowned slightly.

"Except for Si Kongchen himself, who has the ability to take this man's life under our Chief's watch?" Moli stood by the window as she leaned against the window frame and said.

"Whoever it will be, they will certainly try," Wu Chengyue responded with a smile, "In that case, we won't be waiting for him. Let's send this man away now.

"Away? Where to?" The other two didn't understand. Moli asked a question confusedly, wearing no expression.

"To the one who has a stronger force under his command," Wu Chengyue replied smilingly.

"Ah, you're going to send the hot potato to Green Mountain Base, right?" Xiao Licheng asked.

"Why Green Mountain Base?" Moli didn't understand.

Green Mountain Base leader didn't bring a lot of people.

"He only brought a few people, but think about their power levels," said Xiao Licheng.

Moli finally understood his meaning. "Ah… You're right. He is with two level sevens and two level sixes, while we are… Alright, he does have a stronger force than us and the others."

Half an hour later, the group of Green Mountain Base people confusedly watched Wu Chengyue and Xiao Licheng send a man who was disabled from moving to their place.

"Who's this? What are you doing?" Lan Lu observed the man who was tied up, disabled from both talking and moving.

"This is evidence. He'll be safer in your place," Wu Chengyue said with a smile, then walked straight to the couch and took a seat.

Those Green Mountain Base people stared at him. 'How impolite,' said the look in their eyes.

"Evidence? What? Why did you send him to me? Why don't you keep him?" Lan Lu said with discontentment. He had figured out something. Clearly, Wu Chengyue was not there to deliver good news. He was probably trying to give him a troublesome task!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

"He's the witness of that thing. This man is the only survivor among the squad which was sent to relocate the zombie. Once he dies, no one will be giving witness to that thing. Think about it… Will Si Kongchen admit it easily?" Wu Chengyue sat down and crossed his arms before his chest.

"Oh, so why did you bring him to me?" Lan Lu raised one eyebrow, his face saying 'I know what you are planning.'

"My subordinates aren't strong enough. What if someone killed him when I wasn't paying attention to him?" Wu Chengyue replied.

"So, let him die. What does that have to do with me? Why on earth did you bring him to me? You're not expecting me to watch him for you, are you? That's not gonna happen!" Lan Lu glared at Wu Chengyue and said.

"How can he die! Are you silly? If he dies, Si Kongchen will never admit what he did, right? He was trying to let us take the blame earlier, and he even threatened us! Are you gonna pretend that it didn't happen? Wouldn't that be too good for him? How can you let that happen? Moreover, the zombie has run away. So, what if he uses that as an excuse to raise the price of the antidote?" Wu Chengyue said to Lan Lu.

Hearing that, Lan Lu fell into silence. He knew that would happen since long ago. Now, Wu Chengyue was trying to give him the hot potato, and he was not happy about it.

Wu Chengyue took his silence as a tacit approval. He slapped on his knees and stood up, "It's a deal then! You have spirit power, so it's much easier for you to guard him than it is for me."

Having finished talking, he waved a hand, then smilingly headed toward the door.

"Oi, wait! I didn't say yes! Damn!" Lan Lu paused briefly and almost lost his temper.

Wu Chengyue ignored him as he walked to the door with big steps.

"The witness is under your guard now!" He waved at Lan Lu without turning back, then walked out.

"You…" Lan Lu watched him disappear.

"Where did he find this man?" One of the others who was silent the whole time asked with curiosity.

Lan Lu turned and glanced at that man, then clicked his tongue and complained, "That sneaky fox! He sent this hot potato to us and ran away!"

"Should we send him back?" Zheng Hao looked at Lan Lu and asked.

"Eh, don't bother. Haven't you found a clue of that zombie yet? How could it possibly disappear?" Lan Lu shook his head and said.

"No. There really is not even a trace of it. All the traces disappeared in the farm area. Even Huaxia Base haven't had any discoveries."

"That's weird! Where did the zombie go?" Lan Lu frowned slightly and murmured.

A couple of days later, the agreed trade date finally came.

First of all, the effect of the antidote would be displayed.

Tall fence walls were built up in a small square. In front of the square was a two-story factory building. The walls on the second floor which were facing the square had been removed, replaced with glass. Hence, the people on the second floor of the building were able to see the square clearly.

In the middle of the square, a ten-meter-square area was surrounded by barbed wire. Clearly, that was where the display was going to happen.

Huaxia Base invited all the leaders of the other bases to the second floor of the factory building. Sitting behind the glass, they would be able to see what happened down in the square clearly.

Near the glass were some couches and tea tables, with some tea, fruits, and snacks prepared for those base leaders.

Only Huaxia Base could be so generous. If the event took place in Sea City Base, people would only have tea.

After being guided to the second floor of that building, those base leaders found their seats and sat down, then started observing the square and the surrounding environment with interest.
