774 Move Away

"I think you guys aren't worried that the zombies out there might break the line of defense and break into your base. You actually still have the mood to appreciate our pretty lady here," Wu Chengyue moved slightly forward and blocked half of Lin Qiao's body while smilingly speaking to Liu Zhinan and the others.

Clearly, he was taunting those men for thinking something nasty under the pressing circumstances.

Wu Chengyue smiled relaxedly, but his movement showed a strong possessiveness. He even wanted to dig those men's eyes out when they cast their greedy eyes on Lin Qiao. He was getting angrier and angrier, but he didn't show that on his face.

"Oh, Chief Wu is getting unhappy! She didn't accept your proposal, did she? We all have the right to pursue the lady here, right?" Gao Haoyun fixed her eyes on Lin Qiao's face and laughed confidently.

"Chief Ice Devil, your own base is destroyed, but you don't seem to care," Wu Chengyue narrowed his eyes as he looked at Gao Haoyun with a smile.

Ice Devil was how some people addressed Gao Haoyun, just like how they called Lin Qiao Netherworld Fire. He was a level-eight ice-powered man. If he wanted to save Heilong Base, the base wouldn't have been broken by the massive zombie attack so soon.

Gao Haoyun paused briefly. But soon, he gave a natural smile, then put on a sad face and said, "Of course, I care! How could I not? I built that base single-handedly. Now, it was swallowed by the zombie crowd. Hundreds of thousands of people died. My heart is bleeding actually."

"But, I heard that many problems that occurred in Heilong Base were solved by Du Kunsheng. He hasn't given up on your base yet. Right now, he and the rest of your people are still hiding underground, trying to figure out a way to survive." Lin Qiao abruptly made a step forward and then moved sideways to walk out from behind Wu Chengyue as she said to Gao Haoyun with a smile.

Her smile wasn't the same as Wu Chengyue's. Wu Chengyue's smile was gentle and elegant like a spring breeze. Unlike that, Lin Qiao's smile was cold and bland. It was not exactly cold, but was faint, giving out a strong vibe mixed with a trace of frankness. That smile of hers didn't make people feel uncomfortable, but could disable people from ignoring the pressure that she gave out.

Lin Qiao looked calm, smiling a beautiful smile. However, her words pierced into Gao Haoyun's heart like a dagger, also like a slap on his face.

She was right. Du Kunsheng was the one who did most of the work in Heilong Base. Du Kunsheng was a scheming person, but he always thought for himself and the base. He put a lot of effort into the base. That was how he built a safe home for the people in that base.

However, other people could only see Gao Haoyun, a powerful man. In the post-apocalyptic world, power was everything. People admire the strong. The strongest one could naturally be seen as the leader. But, not every leader would contribute to their base as much as he or she could.

Normally, Gao Haoyun cared nothing about the people in Heilong Base. All he cared about were his private force and his subordinates.

He didn't want the others to know about that. People saw him as a powerful man, and he was the current leader of Heilong Base. Those gave him the right to stand together with the people in this room, who were also leaders.

But now, what Lin Qiao said made him feel like losing his disguise, and that he was a level lower than the others in the room.

"Du Kunsheng is doing his job. Is anything wrong about that?" A fierce look flashed across Gao Haoyun's eyes, but soon disappeared. He looked at Lin Qiao smilingly, and couldn't help but look at her body up to down.

"You're right. Chief Ice Devil, you of all in this room are living the easiest life. Unlike you, we need to worry about every single person in our bases, even though we are the leaders," Lin Qiao looked straight at Gao Haoyun, upturning the corners of her mouth.

The others on the scene clearly sensed that she was merely at the beginning of level-seven. However, she looked at the level-eight Gao Haoyun in the eyes without any fear. Her vibe wasn't weaker than the vibe of anyone else in that room, and now, Gao Haoyun even seemed to fall into a disadvantage in front of her. The others even wondered if something was wrong with their senses.

At that moment, Wu Chengyue made a step forward again to shield Lin Qiao, then joined the conversation smilingly, "I just talked to one of the vice-leaders of Huaxia Base. You haven't figured out the real cause of this massive zombie attack, have you? I thought you have at least had a clue about it, as Chief Gao is already here."

Wu Chengyue's words made Gao Haoyun's expression freeze once again.

"What do you mean?" The expressionless Si Kongchen narrowed his eyes as he glanced at Gao Haoyun, then asked Wu Chengyue with confusion.

"Chief Si, I think you don't need to ask. You should know about it yourself… Move away! Can you please not always stand before me?" Lin Qiao sneered at Si Kongchen, then raised a hand to push Wu Chengyue aside.

Wu Chengyue stood before her and blocked her vibe, which made her very unhappy. She had always been the protector. She never needed anyone's protection. Being protected by him made her feel weak.

Wu Chengyue turned and glanced at her with a grievance.

'I didn't want you to get eye-raped, you ungrateful zombie!'

Standing behind Lin Qiao, Duan Juan was wearing an icy cold face as well. She was used to all that was happening in that room. The same thing always happened to Lin Qiao before. Wherever she went, the first thing she needed to face was always the disgusting look in some men's eyes. However, those men soon realized that they were only allowed to look at that woman from a distance. If they ever attempted to press her down and torture her for fun, their lives might be the price to pay.

As the atmosphere in the command room became a little tense because of Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue, a few figures flashed across the thunder clouds, which had recently disappeared from the sky.

"Roar…" A zombie was standing on the ruins, baring his teeth and twisting his ferocious-looking face. His face was entirely covered in purple-blue blood veins. Surrounding him was smoke, fire, and collapsed houses. The land was devastated as if a thousand grenades had gone off together.

The zombie slightly hunched his back and dropped his arms. His dark nails were five or six centimeters long, shining with a dim, cold light.

Within the area hundreds of meters around him, all the buildings were torn down, and all the trees the crushed; ruins and burn marks were seen everywhere.

A powerful and violent vibe radiated from that zombie's body, sweeping across the surrounding area. Under that vibe, the group of zombie dominators who were staying hundreds of meters away from that zombie got extra careful, as if they would turn and run away once anything went wrong.

"Roar…" The zombie who gave out a strong vibe slightly straightened his body as he raised his head and uttered a deep growl. His voice sounded weak and trembling.

A female zombie in a white dress flashed to his side and pressed a hand on his shoulder. Next, a white light was seen from that hand.
