Lu Junjie shook his head confusedly and responded, "No. Everything is good as usual."
Lin Wenwen instantly relaxed a little. "Are you sure? Think carefully!" she confirmed it again.
Lu Junjie looked at her bewilderedly, saying, "I've been with him all the time. Nothing happened. He's in this office almost every single day. He hasn't even been going back to his dorm. What can possibly happen?"
"Good…" Lin Wenwen finally sighed with relief. While murmuring to herself, she turned and walked away, leaving Lu Junjie confused.
On the other side, Lu Tong found Li Honglin.
Li Honglin gave him a small bottle of liquid and said, "Here. This is made from mutated plants. It's genuine, and it came from Sea City Base."
Lu Tong took it over and asked, "This can put people into unconsciousness, but no more than that, right?"
Li Honglin nodded and said confidently, "Don't worry! This is just some strong knockout drug. The dosage depends on whom you'll use it on. For commoners, a slight amount can deliver a very good effect, much better than sleeping pills! For superpowered people, it won't be that effective, unless you increase the amount!"
Lu Tong raised the bottle and said, "Is it effective on higher-leveled people? How long will the efficacy last?"
"It's effective on all superpowered people at or under level-seven! Even level-seven people will lose consciousness for about ten minutes after drinking this. This span of time will be longer if your target is at a lower level. Whom are you gonna use it on?" Li Honglin first explained about the efficacy, then couldn't help but ask.
Lu Tong shook his head and said, "It's none of your business.
Then, he handed his credit stamps to Li Honglin before turning and leaving.
After arriving at the base, they weren't in as close contact as they were before. They would only go to each other when they needed help.
Holding the drug, Lu Tong thought of the woman that he ran into earlier. She had changed so much that he nearly failed to recognize her.
Her hair were short; she was wearing a dirty training suit and a pair of combat boots. A strong vibe radiated from her entire body. She was thoroughly different from before, when her hair were long, her dresses were always clean, and her shoes always had high and thin heels.
Lu Tong was a little surprised by how different Lin Wenwen was now. However, what he cared more was about her relationship with Yuan Tianxing.
The others might not know how Lin Wenwen felt about Yuan Tianxing, but he did. He had paid a lot of attention to Yuan Tianxing himself as well. After all, Yuan Tianxing was handsome, young, and powerful.
In Lu Tong's eyes, Lin Wenwen was a stupid woman. Since she liked Yuan Tianxing so much, why didn't she make a move? What was the point of supporting him constantly with her feelings buried in her heart?
Lu Tong didn't leave Hades Base with Duan Juan and her people because he didn't know that Yuan Tianxing was in the new base at that time. As he learned about that, he tried very hard to encourage Wang Jian, Li Honglin, Chen Hao, and some other people to give up on the hopeless Hades Base.
If he wanted Yuan Tianxing, he needed to have a plan.
This new base might develop well, and Yuan Tianxing might have a chance to become a Chief. Lu Tong believed that he would never need to worry about his life again if he and Yuan Tianxing got together.
Therefore, he paid Li Honglin with his credits and asked the latter to get the drug for him.
In All Being Base, credit was the most precious thing. People were allowed to purchase anything or make any kind of deal with their credits.
The credit stamps were printed and released by the administrative bureau of the base, marked by the special stamp. No one was able to fake the stamp.
On his way back to where he lived, Lu Tong suffered heartburn over his credits. However, that heartburn faded when he started to imagine his life with Yuan Tianxing.
Tomorrow, Yuan Tianxing would go to the construction site. During the past few days, Lu Tong had figured out the former's schedule. He learned that the other had been focusing on the work whole-heartedly. Normally, he would either be working in his office or at the construction site, supervising the construction work. He rarely returned to his dorm. He ate and slept in his office, and only went back to his dorm when he needed a shower.
He would have a chance to get close to Yuan Tianxing at the construction site.
…
In Huaxia Base, it was already dark. Liu Zhinan had split the earth and stopped the zombie crowd from approaching the base. Therefore, people had some time to rest.
In the thunder zone, the sky was dark, yet the glow of the lightning could still be seen.
The thunders hadn't stopped rumbling, and the lightning was still falling from the dark clouds, a lot less intense than before though. The location of the thunder zone had already changed.
The thunderclouds in the sky had been following Mo Yan. Wherever Mo Yan and the three men went, the thunderclouds would be there as well; wherever the thunderclouds were, the ground would be covered in ruins.
Bang!
A figure landed on an old car, stirring up fire sparks and clouds of smoke. He nimbly got up on all fours and shook his body, then raised his head and bared his teeth while uttered a raging roar.
Before the roar ended, he thrust his rear legs against the ground and turned into a shred of shadow, darting out swiftly.
"What on earth is this zombie made from? Can he ever break?" Gao Haoyun was wearing a ferocious look as well. His face looked as twisted as the zombie emperor's, but without those scary purple veins.
"Oi, you didn't get scratched, did you? Why do I feel that your vibe is a little strange?" The smile on Wu Chengyue's face was gone at that moment. His handsome face was wearing a slight frown. He had one hand raised to control the lightning power in the thunderclouds, and the other hand releasing his own power to locate Mo Yan. Wherever he pointed at, thigh-sized lightning bolts fell from the sky.
"The zombie emperor has lightning power too. Your lightning can barely hurt him," said Si Kongchen with a deep voice. Then, he suddenly moved backward and threw out a huge, scorching fireball.
Bang! Mo Yan quickly turned his body and dodged the fireball. The fireball brushed across his body and landed on the wall behind him.
Half of that broken building was immediately torn down, brick pieces flying everywhere.
The three of them had spent half a day fighting against Mo Yan, so none of them was in a good shape now. Wu Chengyue's clothing maintained a relatively good condition, and Si Kongchen looked slightly worse than he did. Unlike them, Gao Haoyun, who was Mo Yan's target the whole time, had suffered some bad injuries. He looked miserable, as his clothes were burned and his face was covered with dust.
He clenched his teeth, while the darkness of the night covered his pale face. "No!" He answered Wu Chengyue's question with a weak voice.
However, he wasn't confident when he said that word.
After all, he had an open wound caused by Mo Yan's claw!
