Gradually, screams and shouts could be heard from the surrounding, mixed with gunshots and explosions. The entire base became chaotic.
Lin Qiao and Lu Tianyi stood on top of the administrative building of Earth Dragon Base, watching the chaotic scene. The zombies that she had released were all at level three or four. Bullets couldn’t hurt them. Also, she had ordered them not to linger in one place for too long.
She only wanted them to show up, scare people, and then sneak away.
Once those zombies showed up, there would certainly be casualties. When they left, the all-out panic that they created spread out.
Lin Qiao had melted the metal gates of the base. By now, the gates had turned into four giant holes. The zombies out there were summoned by Lin Qiao last night, and their number was terrifyingly huge.
Jian Shengtong quickly gathered the superpowered people in the base and the army. He sent some of those people to the gate areas to stop the zombie crowds, and some to hunt those higher leveled zombies that Lin Qiao had released. Meanwhile, he sent some other people to deal with those captives who had been running crazily about in the base.
“Let’s go! You’ve watched the show. Now, you should leave. My work here isn’t done yet,” Lin Qiao sniffed around, then sent Lu Tianyi into her space. Next, she turned invisible and leaped off the building.
She followed the sounds of some captives that she heard just now, and soon found a warehouse in the outer base. That warehouse was large, used for keeping the captives from Hades Base. Most of those people were female, their ages varied. Some of them were good-looking young men as well.
At that time, all of those people had scattered in or around the warehouse, holding weapons. Outside the warehouse, fully armed Earth Dragon Base soldiers had been firing at them.
The power difference between those soldiers and those captives was way too huge. Those captives had suffered heavy casualties, yet many of them still weren’t willing to give up. Each one of them had the determination to die together with the enemies.
They did want to die together with Earth Dragon Base people, because they knew that there wasn’t a good chance for them to run out of that base alive. They had been kept here for months, used as slaves and breeding tools.
Lin Qiao landed on top of the warehouse and abruptly whistled loudly at those Earth Dragon Base soldiers.
“What’s that noise?” Hearing the whistling, both sides of the battle felt confused.
“It sounds like… whistling?”
“Who’s whistling here?”
“Yes, I heard it too. That’s whistling indeed!”
Hearing that whistling, everyone was so confused. But soon, they realized what that whistling could summon.
A series of level three or four zombies suddenly showed up around them one after another, then started attacking those Earth Dragon Base soldiers.
“High-leveled zombies! Fire! Fire! Be careful!” The leader of those soldiers burst in shouts at the sight of those zombies, as if they were facing powerful enemies.
Level-four zombies surely wouldn’t come too close, because they had superpowers! All the zombies which jumped on those soldiers to bite and scratch them were at level-three. They were swift, and they evacuated after only one move.
Before those soldiers could point their guns all at those zombies, those zombies had hit their targets and left. Tens of zombies scattered to attack those soldiers separately.
“What’s going on? I think they’re under attack… Are those… high-leveled zombies?” Near the warehouse, those captives observed those soldiers with confusion. Seeing those zombies, they were all surprised.
“I… I think so!” After looking carefully for a while, someone responded uncertainly. They didn’t have telescopes, so they couldn’t clearly see what was happening out there. However, they could roughly guess it out based on the gunshots and zombie roars coming from the outside.
“Don’t just stand there! They’re distracted now! Let’s rush out!” Someone said loudly.
“You’re right! Now is the time! Go!”
Those captives grasped the opportunity. While covering each other and evacuating from the warehouse, they carefully observed the enemies.
Lin Qiao, who was looking down from the roof, suddenly frowned, then made a step backward and moved sideways.
A sharp wind blade descended from the sky and went through the spot that she was standing on. The roof was made from iron sheet, so the wind blade easily penetrated it.
“I was wondering why so much trouble suddenly happened together. I guess someone is behind all these,” Lu Zhuofeng showed up on top of a building nearby, looking down at Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao stayed silent as she coldly raised her head and looked at him in the eyes.
Lu Zhuofeng looked around, his eyes showing a trace of confusion. Then, he turned and said to Lin Qiao, “You must have lots of confederates. You’ve actually killed Long Yubai. So, Lin Ruifeng and Ye Hao must be dead as well. I’m just wondering where you led He Mu to.”
“Guess!” Lin Qiao gave him a cold smile and said.
With a bland tone, Lu Zhuofeng said, “He Mu isn’t as weak as Long Yubai, a possessor of water power. He has metal power. No one can just kill him silently. Even a level-eight man would need to go through an intense battle to kill him. It’s impossible to kill him without leaving any trace! Unless… you’ve drawn him away. Perhaps, you took him out of the base. Am I right?”
Lin Qiao nodded and said, “You’re right, he’s a level-seven metal power possessor. Killing him isn’t that easy.”
She didn’t refute Lu Zhuofeng, because he was not wrong. He Mu was fat, but was also a possessor of metal power. Besides, he was at level seven. So, killing him wouldn’t be easy. He would have sensed it before anyone else launched an attack on him.
However, Lin Qiao was different. As a zombie who possessed both a space and poisonous fire, she was a special case.
A special case could surely not be analyzed with common sense. Lu Zhuofeng was not wrong, but he hadn’t figured out Lin Qiao’s true identity and power.
He guessed that she had confederates, and Lin Qiao decided to let him keep guessing. That would only do her good anyway.
“It’s not easy to kill He Mu, but it’s quite easy for me to kill you!” At that moment, Lu Zhuofeng suddenly swung an arm at Lin Qiao. Following his move, a gust of wind was started and sent toward Lin Qiao. That was not only a fierce gust of wind, but contained countless sharp wind blades.
Lin Qiao moved backward swiftly. Before the wind blades touched her, she quickly leaped off the roof. The wind roared shrilly, and the wind blades shredded half of the iron sheet roof.
