772 Fly Into Huaxia City

Sitting beside Lin Qiao, Shen Yujen lit a candle for Wu Chengyue in her heart.

'Chief Wu, I guess there is a long way to go for you,' she thought.

Lin Qiao turned to look outside the window as the helicopter took off. The spiral wings and the engines were too loud, so Lin Qiao and her people all stopped talking.

She had no idea what Wu Chengyue was thinking, but was sure that Ling Ling was part of the reason why he did what he did. She believed that Ling Ling was the key to that. After all, she would never develop such a complicated relationship with Wu Chengyue if it weren't for that little girl.

She didn't like what Wu Chengyue had been doing, but didn't hate it either.

The day he proposed to her, he brought her a big pile of supplies as gifts. She rejected him, and after that, he didn't try to give her anything again. Perhaps, he was aware that she didn't like that. So, at last, he did no more than follow her everywhere.

'If only I came back to life in someone else's body… Why did I end up in this trouble-making Lu Tianyu's body?' Lin Qiao thought.

The helicopters flew North. A couple of hours later, they arrived at the city where Huaxia Base was located. Looking down from the helicopters, zombies could be seen everywhere, crowding on every road, street, and alley. All visible space was occupied by zombies.

The number of those zombies was no smaller than the population of a medium-sized city. Clearly, many of those zombies came from the surrounding cities.

The closer they got to Huaxia Base, the thicker the zombie crowd became.

Following a series of rumbling thunder, a dark area could be seen in the sky, far away. In that area, purple lightning flashed across the dark clouds, descending endlessly. The lightning bolts weren't large, but were thick, coming down wave by wave at a high rate.

Both Lin Qiao and Shen Yujen sensed a restrained, agitated vibe from the thunder area. That vibe was no strange for Lin Qiao.

"Avoid the thunder area and approach the Base from the other side," Lin Qiao gave an order.

With that, her helicopter avoided the thunder area and Wu Chengyue followed.

"Three helicopters are approaching from the West. We don't know who they are. Chief, are they from another base?" Hou Guozhong, a Deputy Chief of Huaxia Base, walked to Si Kongchen and reported to him about the helicopters.

"Let them in. Let's see which base they have come from," Si Kongchen stood behind the large screen in the command room, his hands clasped behind his body and head slightly raised as he was looking at the screen.

On the screen was the fence wall of the base. Countless zombies piled up under the wall, climbing up constantly. Many of them fell before reaching to the top, but soon struggled back up and kept climbing up like crazy animals. They never got tired, and would never give up until they got what they wanted.

From time to time, exploding fireballs and all the other kinds of superpower attacks fell into the zombie crowd; those were the long-range attacks. Some other superpowered people had been combating against the zombies up close which managed to climb onto the top with their powers or weapons.

The battle had been intense. All the zombies who reached the top were destroyed within a short while.

Everybody on the wall top was covered in blood and dirt, seeming in a very bad shape. They all looked tired and low spirited.

They had been fighting restlessly for a month, without any break time. All this long, they had been nervously trying to stop those zombies from breaking into the base. However, there were too many zombies, and they could never die out. Even after a whole month of fighting, the zombie crowd didn't shrink at all.

Everyone was tired, but they needed to keep fighting.

Besides the large screen were several smaller screens, showing the images from different angles.

Showing up on a medium-sized screen was an area covered in lightning bolts. Countless zombies were present in that area. The lightning bolts fell aimlessly, hitting anything that was on the ground.

Si Kongchen had sent Han Xiao, who was a level-seven water power possessor, to that thunder area to see what exactly was happening over there. Han Xiao was gone for over half a month, but hadn't sent back any information about that area.

That thunder area was mobile! At times it emerged in the East, and at other times it moved to the West. At times, it only appeared for a short while, and other times, it lasted for long.

It was like a living creature!

Hearing Hou Guozhong's words, Si Kongchen stayed calm and told him to let those helicopters in. Gao Haoyun, who sat beside him, asked delightedly and nervously, "Are they here to help us?"

Hou Guozhong shook his head and said, "The ones who are able to come here by helicopters are human beings for sure. But, I don't know if they are here to help us yet."

They might be there to take the opportunity to bring Huaxia Base down!

"Look! The thunder zone disappeared!" At that moment, Hong Yijie pointed at the medium-sized screen and said.

Just a second ago, the area was occupied by blasting thunders and clouds of smoke. But now, the lightning was gone, and the dark clouds had faded.

Soon, the three helicopters entered Huaxia Base's airspace, then landed on a clearing under the instructions from the base.

"Chief Wu! You are here!" Hou Guozhong stood on the clearing as he watched the helicopter land, then greeted Wu Chengyue delightfully. He saw Wu Chengyue walk over smilingly, side by side with a young and pretty woman.

Hou Guozhong blinked and silently observed that woman who had a composed, smiling face.

She was about five feet and eight inches tall, and her body was perfectly shaped. She had full breasts, slim waist, long and straight legs. Her steps were strong and stable, giving out a mighty vibe. She was wearing a black military suit and a fluttering cape. Her clothing wasn't exactly the same as Wu Chengyue, but that was indeed an outfit for base leaders. After the apocalypse, only base leaders dressed like that.

There wasn't a clear rule, but the people who didn't lead a base normally wouldn't dress like that.

The woman walked side by side with Wu Chengyue and was wearing Chief's uniform. Based on those facts, she was a base leader too. The only known female base leader in the country was the Chief of the new base in Hangzhou.

The fact that she arrived together with Wu Chengyue further confirmed her identity.

After all, Wu Chengyue was currently pursuing the Chief lady!

As Wu Chengyue, Lin Qiao, and their subordinates came closer, Hou Guozhong looked at Lin Qiao smilingly and reached out a hand, "I assume this is Miss Lu, the Chief of All Beings Base. I've heard so much about you. You are a truly beautiful lady! I am Hou Guozhong, a Deputy Chief of Huaxia Base, to assist our Chief!"

Lin Qiao nodded at him with a small smile and said, "Good to see you! Lu is my last name indeed."

She responded to his greetings but didn't shake his hand.

Hou Guozhong blinked, then dropped his hand while keeping the smile, "Miss Lu, I knew it's you!"
