That pattern was a symbol of their army force, and had a special meaning.
If Lin Qiao showed that pattern to Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng, both of them would be able to recognize it as the symbol of their special forces.
Except for Duan Juan, Yuan Tianxing, and Lin Feng, only Lin Qiao knew about that force.
Duan Juan lowered her head and stayed silent for a few seconds, then raised her head to look at Lin Qiao as she said, “Captain?”
Lin Qiao nodded with a faint smile. She looked at Duan Juan in the eyes and said, “You should know why we named our base Hades. I know that too. And so do my brother and Tianxing, right?”
Duan Juan nodded.
The base was named after their force.
Their missions were all dangerous and bloody, mostly about assassinating all sorts of terrorists, gangsters, and invaders. They were efficient, and their missions had a scarily high success rate. Also, every single one in their force had their hands covered in the blood of evil people. For these reasons, soldiers from other forces gave them a nickname.
Hades’ Executioners!
Hades referred to the leaders of the country.
They named their base Hades, and that name happened to match Lin Qiao’s special superpower perfectly.
Qian Xiaoai didn’t know about that story, so he looked at Lin Qiao confusedly. He didn’t understand the conversation which was happening between Lin Qiao and Duan Juan, but what she said to him earlier did surprise him.
He wasn’t always bald!
One time, he followed Lin Qiao’s troop out of the base to collect supplies and got bitten by a poisonous mutated snake. Lin Qiao combated poison with poison, clearing the venom with her power. As a result, Qian Xiaoai’s hair started falling off.
He looked at Lin Qiao and stuttered, “Are you… Are you really her?”
Lin Qiao put the pattern back into her body, then started counting with her fingers, “Qian Xiaoai, you were bitten by a poisonous snake and I saved you, so your hair fell out of your head. Xiaolu once poured water on your head from upstairs. And, you once saw Wenwen change clothes. I haven’t made you pay for that yet! Oh, and…”
“Wait… wait, wait, I get it, I get it! I know who you are! Please stop, Boss…” Hearing Lin Qiao counting his embarrassing experiences one after another, Qian Xiaoai even suffered a headache as he hurriedly begged her to stop.
Everyone knew that his hair fell off after he was bitten by a poisonous snake. Once, Lin Xiaolu, Lin Feng’s daughter, was pouring water down from the second floor for fun, and he happened to walk past the building, so the water was poured straight on his head. A few people knew about that. However, except for himself and Lin Qiao, no one knew that he had accidentally seen Lin Wenwen change clothes. Not even Lin Wenwen herself knew that.
Back then, he felt so awkward that he quickly turned to sneak away. However, once he turned around, he found Lin Qiao standing behind him with a meaningful smile. At that time, Qian Xiaoai’s fine hair immediately stood straight up, and he almost ran away automatically.
No third person knew about that.
Hearing Lin Qiao’s words, Duan Juan turned to stare at Lin Qiao’s pretty face with a weird look.
“How dare you peek at Wenwen when she was changing clothes! Shame on you!”
Qian Xiaoai explained with a bitter look, “Oh, it’s not like that… That was an accident… I didn’t see her on purpose!”
“Do you think you could still stand here so healthily if you did peek at her on purpose?” Lin Qiao said. After saying that, she walked to Qian Xiaoai and raised a foot to kick him.
Qian Xiaoai habitually moved sideways to dodge the kick, then showed a fawning smile and said, “No, no, no… Boss, you’re such a generous person! Just let bygones be bygones! Please don’t tell my Captain about it!”
By Captain, he meant Lin Feng. If Lin Feng knew about that, he would want to beat Qian Xiaoai to death.
By now, Qian Xiaoai firmly believed that the lady in front of him was his Chief!
“But… didn’t you detonate yourself? Did you fail to do that? Or, did you survive the explosion?” Duan Juan calmed herself down and then stared at Lin Qiao’s face.
Her face looked completely different, and her eyes were strange. If she didn’t show that dark fire pattern, Duan Juan would never believe that she was Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao put a hand on her stomach. An even brighter green light flashed across her sparkling green eyes while a strong intention of killing was shown in those eyes.
“I let Yang Jianhua die too easily! He had his eyes on Wenwen since the very beginning. He spent years bringing me and everyone else into his trap!” Her voice sounded calm, but gave out a bone-piercing coldness.
“How could he possibly gain our trust without spending so much time?” Duan Juan remarked blandly.
Lin Qiao nodded.
She was right. If he didn’t save Lin Qiao’s life and spent years following her, how could she possibly trust him? He actually hid his true intentions so deeply.
“I did die. My body was blown into pieces, and my energy turned into air. Only that energy nucleus remained undamaged, and I retrieved it just now,” Lin Qiao touched the spot between her eyebrows and said.
This time, after absorbing the flood of energy, Lin Qiao directly broke into level-seven. She was now a zombie dominator, a special one at that.
“Why do you look like this now?” Duan Juan gazed at her face curiously.
“I woke up in this woman’s body. I woke up not long after her death. Back at that time, she was turning into a zombie. You have no idea now miserable this body looked when I first woke up!” Lin Qiao rubbed her own face and said.
Duan Juan and Qian Xiaoai popped their eyes, staring at Lin Qiao. “So… have you truly become someone else now? And, you’re a zombie!”
Lin Qiao nodded again. Her eyes revealed the truth that she was a zombie, so she didn’t need to lie about that.
Duan Juan and Qian Xiaoai glanced at each other and couldn’t make any other reactions for a long while. They were shocked as if they just saw a ghost.
What should they do? Their Chief had become a zombie! Would she eat them when she was hungry?
“Alright, now I have done what I needed to do. Let’s head back to the base. Duan Juan, give me a list of the people who’re willing to go with us tomorrow. We won’t take any supplies. Leave all the vehicles, food, and other supplies to the ones who decide not to leave,” Lin Qiao glanced at the two stunned people and said.
Duan Juan came back to her senses. “All?” she asked, “How are we supposed to make the journey then? Can’t we take even some vehicles? You don’t want us to walk to Sea City, do you?”
While speaking, she looked at Lin Qiao confusedly.
Lin Qiao nodded and said, “Yes, we’ll leave all for them. You don’t need to worry about vehicles.”
Then, she waved a hand and started walking toward the parked car. A few seconds later, she abruptly stopped, then turned back and said to the two, “Also, don’t call me Chief when we return to the base. Call me Miss Lu. My current name is Lu Tianyu.”
Qian Xiaoai and Duan Juan again glanced at each other confusedly. However, what Lin Qiao said was an order. Even though they didn’t understand why, they still needed to nod and do exactly as she asked.
