It was really hard for superpowered human beings to upgrade after level-five. A large number of lower level zombie nuclei wouldn’t be able to allow a level-five superpowered human to break into level-six. Instead, this person needed to grow his or her energy with higher-level zombie nuclei. The zombie nuclei which contained the same kind of power as the person would deliver a better effect.
For example, Yang Cheng had wind power, and was currently at the peak of level-four. He was only a breath away from level five, but he couldn’t find enough energy to help him achieve a breakthrough.
Therefore, he now planned to kill Du Yuanxing and his teammates for the nucleus of the level-four wind-powered zombie. With that wind-powered zombie nucleus, he would be able to step into level-five and become a captain himself. After that, what would he need Du Yuanxing for?
“But, it’s extremely difficult to upgrade after level-five. Can Long Qingying truly reach level-six or seven? I doubt it!” Yang Cheng remarked.
“Cut the weeds and dig up the roots, don’t you understand that? Long Qingying isn’t the only one to worry about. We need to erase all the groups that are close with Netherworld Fire and her family. But, that is none of your concern. All you need to do is collect as much information about those people as possible,” Huo Wu glanced at him and said.
Yang Cheng, who had been warned slightly, felt that he had talked too much. So, he immediately gave a smile and said, “Yes, yes, yes, I understand! I’ll tell you everything I find out about the people who’re still in contact with Chief Netherworld Fire’s family, or used to be her loyal followers.”
“Follow your Chief Yang, and you’ll have everything you need. That is the right path to take. If your old Chief Netherworld fire chose to work with us, wouldn’t everyone have had a better life? However, she rejected us, and suffered the consequences,” said Huo Wu.
Yang Cheng’s face began turning dark, but he still forced a smile while nodding and responding with, “You’re right, you’re right!”
However, in his heart, he was cursing silently, ‘Damn you! Work together? You really made that sound nice! You wanted to merge our base, didn’t you? Do you think that our Chief was stupid? If she agreed to work with you, our base would have become yours! If I was not so weak, I’d never bow before you!’
While listening to their conversation, Lin Qiao was also paying attention to the direction that the car was moving in.
She felt a little strange about the changes of emotions of the man named Yang Cheng. He was holding negative thoughts, but still, he was wearing a smiling face and trying quite hard to fawn on the level-six one.
As Yang Cheng seemed to care about the wind-powered zombie nucleus, Lin Qiao guessed that he was the traitor that Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing had mentioned before.
She also felt that the level-six one’s words did make sense to the people on his side. If they let Long Qingying live and continue growing stronger, she would become a huge trouble for them one day.
Therefore, Lin Qiao thought that maybe she should bring Long Qingying with her while leaving. As long as the latter believed that she wouldn’t hurt her own family, she would be able to ask her any question.
With that thought, Lin Qiao took a turn on top of this heavily armored car, then directly showed her face.
The moment she showed up, all the alarms in the two cars went off.
Lin Qiao ignored the alarms, popped out her claws, and began swiftly cutting all kinds of detectors and sensors on the car.
Following a series of noises, the people in the car began shouting.
“What is with the alarms?”
“Great Captain… According to the alarms, there’s a zombie nearby. A high-level one, level-four or above. And, it’s very close!”
“Great Captain! The fifteen-meter virus detector is broken, so is the ten-meter detector…and…”
“Great Captain! The head source detector is broken!”
“Great Captain…”
Hearing the reports made by his soldiers who were sitting before the control panel, Huo Wu yelled impatiently, “Alright, I know! Didn’t you hear the noise on the car roof? You’ve let a high-level zombie hop onto our car, so I wonder what you needed those detectors for.”
None of the soldiers in the car dared to many any sound.
At that moment, the communicator rang, then the scouting team leader’s voice was heard. “Captain, I think they found us. They’re leaving, heading to the East.”
“I’m on my way,” Huo Wu picked up the communicator and said.
After that, he threw away the communicator and turned around, “Open the door, I’m getting out. Tell the combat team to move.”
“Yes, Sir!”
Lin Qiao leaped down the car roof after breaking all the detectors and sensors. In midair, she directly switched to the invisible state.
Once she turned herself invisible, she saw the car door open. Then, an about thirty-five years old, average-looking man jumped out of the car, wearing army-green shirt and pants.
He conveniently threw out a dark-red stream of fire, which roared toward the surrounding zombies like a fire dragon. As the fire dragon swept across the air, those zombies were sent up flying all over the sky.
The fire burned the zombies out at an incredibly high speed. Right in midair, many zombies were burned into ashes which then drifted away.
Lin Qiao was standing on a tree nearby. She sensed the fire, which made her feel very uncomfortable. She couldn’t feel temperatures, but still, the bad feeling attacked her in her mouth, nose, and brain.
So, she drew back immediately. Next, she saw that man move his feet and dart out fleetingly like a shred of shadow.
She had found that all strong superpowered human beings were able to move swiftly. Even the ones who didn’t have wind power were able to run as fast as the wind.
After the man left, the doors of the other car were opened as well. A squad of soldiers who were armed to the teeth rushed out with guns, then began moving in the same direction as the man at an impressive speed.
Lin Qiao raised her running speed to follow behind the man in army green closely. She guessed that he was the so-called ‘Great Captain’.
At that moment, Du Yuanxing and his teammates had hopped onto the car which was left in front of the hotel building by Lin Qiao, and were driving toward another street. Long Qingying was still standing on the car roof, with one hand raised. Tens of steel thorns were floating before her palm.
Once the zombies which followed behind the car got a little closer, the steel thorns before her hand would dart out to stop them; when the human enemies hiding in surrounding buildings showed their faces, Long Qingying’s attack would also land on them immediately.
Her steel thorns would pierce into the enemies’ vital body parts accurately and mercilessly.
Not long after they started driving, the temperature around the car was raised suddenly.
Boom!
A giant fire dragon suddenly rose from the roadside, pouncing straight on Du Yuanxing’s car.
