“Did the zombie kill them all?” Wu Chengyue was surprised too when he heard the news in his room.
“I think so, because their heads were clearly clawed off by some kind of fierce beast. Some of their chests were punctured, and the holes were just big enough to let a hand through. Zombies have super strength. They can easily snap human necks,” Xiao Licheng nodded and said.
Claw marks were found from those dead bodies. According to the zombie’s file, it had animal power and could transform into an animal. Therefore, it was reasonable for it to have claws. Beast claws were similar to the claws of high-leveled zombies anyway…
“It makes sense. The zombie was locked up like a lab rat for such a long time. It must have hated those people. Hm, Huaxia Base has lost an elite research team. I guess Si Kongchen will be so angry that he might even vomit blood, hehe…” Wu Chengyue started laughing.
“Could it be… her? No one else can kill people without leaving a trace like her, right?” Xiao Licheng thought for a moment and then said.
Wu Chengyue knew whom he was talking about. He paused briefly to think, then responded, “I think she’d only stand aside and watch. After all, it was the zombie’s business. If she wanted to win the zombie to her side, she would at least let the zombie kill those people by himself. You have to know that zombies are possessive. Their enemies are like preys to them, that no one else can touch.”
“Seems like you know zombies so well…” Xiao Licheng glanced at him.
Wu Chengyue gave him a glance and responded, “I don’t, but she definitely knows zombies better than anyone else.”
Xiao Licheng paused slightly, and then understood his meaning.
He was right. She was a zombie herself. Who else could know zombies better than she did?
“But, the zombie from the lab is at level-eight as well. It’s at the same level as her. Can she really turn it into a follower of hers?” Xiao Licheng asked with curiosity.
“I think she wouldn’t have done it unless she was confident enough. Besides, as you know, she’s no longer the same as before. Based on what she has done, she must have considered thoroughly before taking action. I’m only wondering how she would react when Huaxia Base found out that it was her who stole the zombie,” Thinking about Lin Qiao’s faint yet confident smile, Wu Chengyue gave a bigger smile.
‘Look at your silly smiling face!’ Xiao Licheng glanced at Wu Chengyue and said in his head.
“What? I didn’t steal that guy!” Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard in the room.
“Eh!” Wu Chengyue and Xiao Licheng both gave a start, then quickly turned to where the voice came from.
Lin Qiao spread her hands and walked over, then sat down on an armchair near Wu Chengyue as if it were her own room. “In fact, Si Kongchen started it himself, not me. I just hijacked them in the middle of their plan!”
Once she finished talking, a small figure rushed out of the bedroom and jumped to Lin Qiao’s thighs like a little bear.
“Ahyaya, little one, did you miss me?” Lin Qiao scooped up Wu Yueling who was wrapped in a lot of clothes and asked while laughing happily.
Wu Yueling was so happy that she gave a big grin and nodded heavily.
Her Daddy really didn’t lie to her! She had truly seen her Zombie Mommy in this place!
The smile on Lin Qiao’s face froze for a second. Then, she pretended not to read the little girl’s mind, but raised her head and continued talking to Wu Chengyue, “Si Kongchen had a perfect plan. He felt that the zombie wasn’t hidden well enough, so he planned to move it to somewhere else. Meanwhile, he also planned to cover for himself by framing the others. I’ve never seen such a shameless person!”
Hearing her, Wu Chengyue and Xiao Licheng glanced at each other with surprise, then said in one voice, “He did it himself?”
Lin Qiao dropped the little one and stood up, walking before the tea table. Then, she flashed into her space and soon came out with a man.
“I left one of those who did the job and took care of the rest. You’ll be handling this one.” Having finished talking, she sat back into the armchair and picked the little one up.
Wu Chengyue stayed composed when Lin Qiao threw out a man in a military suit. The smile on his face had faded though.
Xiao Licheng was confused. “What-what do you mean?”
“Ask your boss… He knows what I mean,” Lin Qiao pouted to point at Wu Chengyue with her lips.
Xiao Licheng turned to Wu Chengyue with confusion. Meanwhile, Wu Chengyue was looking at the man who was thrown to the ground without any expression. He didn’t know what Lin Qiao had done to that man, but he was disabled from both moving and talking.
He didn’t pass out, but had his head lowered, not looking at anyone.
Lin Qiao didn’t want him to kill himself, so she disjointed his jaw, disabled his superpower, and also gave him a little anesthetic.
“What did you do to him?” Wu Chengyue spent a short while observing the man, then turned and asked Lin Qiao with a smile.
“I didn’t want him to kill himself,” Lin Qiao shrugged.
“Why… Why are you giving him to us?” Xiao Licheng still didn’t understand what she wanted.
“Because she doesn’t plan to attend the grand meeting to purchase the antidote. In other words, she isn’t going to show her face, so she can’t just bring this man to the others to accuse Si Kongchen of what he has done,” Wu Chengyue said to Xiao Licheng.
Xiao Licheng looked at Lin Qiao with surprise and saw that she was smiling as well. Somehow, he felt that Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue were smiling the same kind of smile.
“He’s right. I’m so poor… How can I possibly afford to buy that antidote? At the very most, I’ll borrow it from someone!” Lin Qiao laughed, then lowered her head to ask Wu Yueling, “Right? Little one, am I right?”
Wu Yueling had no idea what were they talking about. However, when Lin Qiao asked her if she was right, she nodded instinctively.
In her heart, her Zombie Mommy was right about everything, just like her Dad!
Looking at her red little cheeks and innocent, sparkling eyes, Lin Qiao’s heart was even about to melt. She couldn’t help but rub the little girl’s head.
‘You emptied two granaries of Earth Dragon Base just a few days ago! How can you shamelessly call yourself poor!’ Hearing Lin Qiao’s words, Xiao Licheng stared at her in a very weird way. Then, he heard her mention borrowing. “Borrow? From whom?” He asked.
“Someone…” Lin Qiao answered his question with a smile.
Xiao Licheng didn’t know what to say.
She had changed so, so much!
Seeing her smile, he clearly knew that some people were going to suffer. He immediately recalled what Earth Dragon Base had been through not long ago, and the few important people who had gone missing.
Xiao Licheng suddenly realized that Hidden Cloud City Base had had a pretty rich harvest, and that was not right!
Reasonably speaking, if she were targeting the Earth Dragon Base, the reason must be what happened to Hades Base. In that case, Sky Fire Base and Hidden Cloud City Base, which had helped Earth Dragon Base, couldn’t possibly only lose a Chief each.
