Lin Qiao finished Li Zhengye off neatly and quickly, and harvested a level-seven nucleus. Then, she came out of her space and turned to walk toward the door.
Cheng Tianan’s workplace was across the hall, very close to Li Zhengye’s office. Li Zhengye usually let his office door open, so the former could hear any sound from his office. Meanwhile, two soldiers were guarding the door, keeping irrelevant people from entering Chief’s office.
Lin Qiao walked out of the door. In order to take away the person in the secretary’s office without catching anyone else’s attention, she needed to first take care of the guards by the door, and not by making them disappear.
Lin Qiao pondered briefly, then moved toward the wall behind the door and focused her will power while releasing two faint wisps of black smoke. The hair-thin wisps of smoke drifted toward the soldiers’ ears like two black threads, then quickly drilled into their ears. With that, the two soldiers shivered and then froze, their eyes turning unfocused and lusterless.
Lin Qiao walked out and glanced at the two standing dead bodies, then walked into the secretary’s office toward Cheng Tianan, who was sitting behind his desk.
Cheng Tianan was checking some files that needed to be read by his Chief, having no idea what had just happened to his guards. Moreover, he did not know that a zombie had walked into his office. All of a sudden, someone grabbed the back of his collar and then the scene before his eyes changed without him managing to even react.
He was sitting in his office a second ago. How come there was suddenly a lake in front of him?
“Oi, back here! I wonder how a man as slow as you managed to become Chief’s assistant.” A woman’s voice was heard from behind.
Cheng Tianan gave a start and automatically turned around, then made a few steps backward as he looked at the woman alertly. He saw a woman who had a delicate face and a ponytail, wearing a camouflage suit. She was standing behind him, looking at him with a small smile.
“Who are you?”
Lin Qiao looked at him and said, “You don’t need to know who I am. You just need to tell me where is Li Zhengye’s zombie experiment taking place.”
Cheng Tianan’s pupils shrank. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Who are you? Where are you from? Are you… Are you the family of one of those missing people?”
How did the woman know about the experiment? Also, this pretty woman had been hiding so deeply. He didn’t even know there was such a pretty woman in his base.
Normally, such a pretty lady would be quite famous in the base, like the one who had left Li Zhengye’s bedroom in the morning.
The others might not know the woman, but Cheng Tianan did. After all, she needed to find pretty women for Li Zhengye to sleep with. So, it was impossible for him not to know that there was such a beautiful woman in his base.
“Stop pretending! It’s not gonna work. Soon, everyone will know about it. If you don’t want to tell me, fine. Someone will make you talk.” Lin Qiao gave him a cold smile, then turned to the house behind her.
“Pesticide, come here,” she said.
“Roar?” ‘What?‘
Pesticide stuck his head out from behind the wall and looked at Lin Qiao confusedly. Some vegetable juice could be seen around his mouth corner.
“Just come here. How dare you ask why!” Lin Qiao raised her brows.
Pesticide was a little far away from Cheng Tianan, so Cheng Tianan didn’t see his face clearly. However, he did recognize the other’s roar as a zombie roar.
Abruptly, he turned to Lin Qiao and popped his eyes. His expression froze on his face, as if something shocking crossed his mind.
“You! You… You’re the Chief lady from All Beings Base!”
He remembered Li Zhengye telling him about the news that the man brought back. Li Zhengye didn’t care much about that. All he cared about was the benefit which could be delivered by the result of the experiment that the man told him to undertake.
He didn’t take the news seriously at all. Not to mention Li Zhengye, Cheng Tianan himself didn’t believe it either.
A female zombie was leading a human base which was founded by herself… How could any zombie ever do something like that? All zombies could do was eat human beings. They had always been trying everything to break into human bases to eat human beings.
Besides, the Chief lady looked exactly like a human being, and she could talk. How could she possibly be a zombie?
However, at that very moment, Cheng Tianan watched the pretty lady summon a zombie who had purely black eyes to her side. More importantly, the zombie obediently stood behind her, staring straight at him.
The pretty lady was obviously an enemy. She was actually able to give orders to zombies! Was what that man said real? Was the lady the Chief of All Beings Base? Why was the zombie eating a vegetable leaf? Was that really a zombie?
If the zombie didn’t have a pair of zombie eyes, Cheng Tianan wouldn’t even believe he was a zombie. After all, he was holding half a vegetable leaf in his hand and was chewing something, with his lips stained with a suspicious green liquid!
What a strange zombie! Which zombie would eat vegetable!
Lin Qiao looked at him and smiled, “He seems to know a lot. I want to know what else he knows. Pesticide, finish your vegetable and then control him!”
While speaking, she gave a glare at the silly-looking Pesticide.
Pesticide quickly put the fresh vegetable leaf into his mouth entirely, then chewed hurriedly, saliva and vegetable juice spouting out of his mouth. Lin Qiao couldn’t even bear watch that. She buried her face in her palm as she turned her face away from him.
Cheng Tianan was clearly aware that he was in a bad situation, but still wanted to laugh when he saw the zombie chew the vegetable.
After a few seconds in a daze, before the zombie started controlling him, Cheng Tianan couldn’t help but say in a weak voice, “How about I answer all your questions? Can you please spare my life?”
At that time, Cheng Tianan clearly understood that he might die. Not to mention the strong vibe coming from the pretty lady, the weird zombie was apparently not an ordinary one either. He had also realized that he was probably in an independent space.
He was brought there from his office within a second, and before that, someone dragged the back of his collar.
He wasn’t stupid. He had, of course, figured out what had happened.
Hearing his words, Lin Qiao dropped her hand and blinked, then turned and gave him a meaningful smile, “Oh? Can I believe you?”
