766 The Kids Are Missing

Right at the time, Lin Xiaolu and Tongtong had gone missing.

When Lin Qiao brought Duan Juan and her people back from Hades Base, she also brought back a group of kids. After settling down in the new base, those kids often played with Lin Xiaolu and Tongtong.

But today, when they were playing in the playground of the school, Tongtong was missing. The other kids looked for him everywhere. Not long after that, Lin Xiaolu went missing as well. So, the group of kids immediately told the adults about that.

At that moment, both Lin Feng and Lin Wenwen were outside, collecting resources. Mrs. Lin and Cheng Wangxue were looking after the children. As the two kids went missing, she immediately sent people to search across the base, also to inform Lin Qiao about it.

Liu Jun wasn't in the base, working on the farm in Mount Wu area. While she was catching bugs in the field, she saw a zombie king ran over from the base.

It was the zombie boy. He quickly ran up to Liu Jun and said to her, "Chief wants you back. Tongtong… is missing."

The zombie boy's voice sounded like two rocks rubbing against each other, very unpleasant. However, he was able to express himself clearly.

"What? Tell me again, Four," Liu Jun stood up as she looked at him, failing to process his words.

Lin Qiao named her zombies with numbers at first. The zombie boy was number four, so the other zombies called him Four currently. They would be calling him that before he remembered his real name.

"Chief said that Tongtong is missing," Four looked at her and repeated the message.

Hearing that, Liu Jun's expression changed. She instantly rushed toward the base, leaving the other zombies looking at each other with confusion. Four followed behind her as well.

As Lin Qiao arrived at the school, people were searching all over the school for Lin Xiaolu and Tongtong.

Lin Qiao stood on top of the tallest building in the school with a fierce look in her eyes. No one was able to find people more quickly than she does. She sniffed around, then flashed toward one direction.

Soon, she showed up near an abandoned, small building that was located a couple of miles away from the school. That building used to be someone's house. It was empty, dusty, full of trash.

At that point, someone in the school got a message, saying that a new space possessor had shown up near the playground earlier today while the kids were playing there. He and some other people were pointing at those kids and whispering to each other. Later on, he disappeared, and so did Tongtong.

"A new space possessor? The level-three one?" Yuan Tianxing looked at the others and asked.

Lin Qiao and Lin Wenwen were the only two space possessors in the base before. Not long ago, the second batch of Hades Base survivors arrived at the base, and one of them was a level-three space possessor.

"Go and bring him to me!" Yuan Tianxing immediately gave an order.

Lu Tong heard door knocks not long after he returned to his flat.

"Lu Tong, some people want to see you," said one of his flatmates.

Lu Tong opened his door and asked, "Who wants to see me?"

The man by his door pointed at the door of the flat. He looked that way and saw two soldiers in the uniforms of All Being Base. For some reason, he had a bad feeling.

With confusion, he closed his door and walked through the living room to the door of the flat, then asked the two soldiers, "How can I help you?"

"Are you Lu Tong?" One of the two soldiers looked at him and asked.

Lu Tong nodded.

"Please come with us. We need your help." The other soldier said to him in a friendly tone.

Sensing their attitudes, Lu Tong was aware that he had no choice but to go with them. They were actually being friendly to him. Lu Tong blinked, then nodded and followed the two soldiers out.

On the other side of the base, Lin Qiao came near that building and turned invisible, then followed the scents she had sensed. Soon, she heard people talking.

"Damn! We've waited for so long. Finally, Lu Tong and those kids happened to be together today. I hope he'll die this time. The girl's father is a Deputy Chief. He'll certainly kill Lu Tong if he knows that it was he who killed his daughter."

"Yeah. We've waited over twenty days for this opportunity. Is there a chance that they might find out that we did it? If they found out that our boss told us to kidnap the kids to frame Lu Tong, we might not have a chance to get out of the base."

"Don't say that! Our plan is so perfect. They can't possibly find out the truth so soon. Even if Lu Tong denies it, the people in the base wouldn't believe him. We should kill the girl as soon as possible, then leave the base as if nothing happened. We'll stay in Sea City Base for a while. When our Boss gains a firm foothold in his place, we can come back."

Some of those people planned to come back one day. Murder wasn't allowed in human bases, but in fact, one could kill a person and easily get away with it, as long as he or she could keep it secret for a couple of years.

"Come back? Come back to die? I'm not coming back unless our Boss can become even more powerful than Lin Feng. Otherwise, people will find out the truth one day and we'll die!"

"In the worst case, we'll wait a couple of years more. What is there to be afraid of? People won't know the truth. Lin Family won't be able to find out that it was us who did it. Besides, Lu Tong is going to take the blame. They won't suspect us."

While Lin Qiao was listening to their plan, Lu Tong had been brought to Yuan Tianxing to answer questions.

"Your name is Lu Tong, right? I heard that you showed up near here earlier today. May I ask why did you come here?" Du Yuanxing looked straight into Lu Tong's eyes while asking the question.

"Near here? I was passing by. That's all. What's wrong?" Lu Tong looked at Du Yuanxing confusedly.

"Someone saw you talking to a few people in this area. What were you talking about?" Du Yuanxing asked another question.

"What? Talking to a few people? No. I passed by this area alone. I didn't talk to anyone. What is going on here? You brought me here and asked me these nonsense questions without telling me what happened. How am I supposed to answer these questions?" Lu Tong looked at Du Yuanxing and asked.

"Tongtong! Where is my Tongtong! Have you found him? Have you found Tongtong?" Liu Jun rushed over, eagerly asking everyone she saw about Tongtong.

People could easily tell that she was Tongtong's mother. Liu Jun was wearing cosmetic contacts. The colors of her pupils looked a little strange, yet no one thought about the possibility that she might be a zombie. Therefore, she had been showing up among humans without worries.

"Liu Jun, they haven't found Tongtong yet. Xiaolu is missing too! You… Can you try to locate them by tracking their scents?" At that moment, another lady showed up and dragged Liu Jun to the side as she said to her with a low voice.

That was Cheng Wangxue, who was just as helpless and panicked as Liu Jun was. She forced herself to calm down and looked at Liu Jun expectantly.

She knew what Liu Jun was a zombie.
