Leng Xuantong gave her a glance with hesitation. Suddenly, he recalled that she was able to make Macuy follow her words. So perhaps, she had a special ability to control zombies.
He thought for a moment, then realized that he had no other choice at the moment. He opened the door of the cabinets and pressed his hands on the ice. Soon, the ice melted slowly.
The ice had melted, but the two zombies didn’t wake up.
Lin Qiao knew that he had also given the two zombies tranquilizer to keep them quiet.
“You don’t need to give them tranquilizer anymore. Just let them wake up and keep them,” Lin Qiao said to Leng Xuantong.
Those two were still ordinary zombies. She wondered which level they had to reach to restore their memories. Viney wasn’t in the lake anymore, so she needed to help the others with the healing now. However, she didn’t know about that as clearly as Viney did.
Leng Xuantong glanced at her again and nodded silently. He figured that she was able to control zombies, but would never tell him so.
He packed all the necessary tools in boxes and then stood to the side. All the boxes that Lin Qiao touched disappeared. Leng Xuantong guessed that she had a space, but couldn’t tell how large that space was, and what kind of space it was.
He was slightly nervous when Lin Qiao disappeared together with his wife and son. However, she showed up again in just a second. Seeing that, he sighed in a slight relief.
“Let’s go. I’ll bring you in.” Lin Qiao walked up to him and reached out a hand to grasp his shoulder, dragging him into the space.
The two of them showed up in the living room in her space.
“To avoid accidents, I think you should better stay inside this building,” Lin Qiao sat on the couch and said to him.
“What do you want me to study in?” Once in, Leng Xuantong observed the surrounding environment. Seeing his wife and son standing by the door against the wall, he silently sighed with relief, then turned and asked Lin Qiao a question.
“The virus, of course! You already have quite some experiments on that, don’t you?” Lin Qiao looked at him as she pointed at another couch and said.
“What’s your purpose?” Leng Xuantong walked over and sat down.
‘Is she seeking a way to control the spread of the virus too? ‘ he wondered.
“Control the infectivity of the virus. Or, I want an antidote that can resist the virus invasion,” she said.
She couldn’t only think for the zombies. Without a question, she also needed to think for human beings. Her base was built for both. If the people in her base could resist the virus invasion, their lives would be much easier.
Even though she was able to control all the zombies in her base, she couldn’t guarantee that no accident would happen.
Leng Xuantong nodded; he had guessed right.
“Where will my lab be? I won’t always stay in your space, will I?” Leng Xuantong thought of another question.
“It’ll surely be in the base. How can it possibly be in my space? I’ll let you out when we return to the base. But, you need to stay here for a few days. Don’t worry, we have food and water here. Just think it as a vacation,” Lin Qiao looked at him and said.
Leng Xuantong didn’t say anything else but nodded.
The food and water that Lin Qiao mentioned were, of course, prepared by Lu Tianyi. They had rice in her space, and a lot of vegetables growing in the fields.
Having finished talking, Lin Qiao stood up and went upstairs to carry Wu Yueling down.
Feeling that a strange man was in the building, Wu Yueling became quiet. She only responded to Lin Qiao.
…
The fact that Si Kongchen tried to relocate the zombie himself had been disclosed. Knowing that, Si Kongchen’s face darkened seriously. A strong, dark vibe was radiating from his entire body. The intention of killing could be detected from his eyes from time to time, and his entire face was tightened.
“Have you found who spread the word?” He asked through clenched teeth, word by word.
“We didn’t even need to try. He just told us frankly. It was Wu Chengyue from Sea City Base. We don’t know where he learned about it in the first place,” Han Xiao, a member of the board, spread his hands and said with a faint smile.
“How can he prove it?” Si Kongchen’s voice sounded a little muffled, as he was trying to restrain his anger.
“That, we don’t know yet. But, he said that the zombie has run away, and that’ll be bad for the trade of the antidote. The other base leaders are not happy about it right now. Everyone, have you come up with a solution yet?” Han Xiao changed the topic and continued.
Si Kongchen didn’t respond, but sat on the host’s seat with a sour face. He knew that his question was necessary. The word had already been spread. Even if he didn’t admit it, the other bases could still use it as an excuse.
Not to mention the fact that if they focused on Huaxia Base and dug deep, they would certainly be able to find some traces. Huaxia Base people had gotten rid of all the possibly evidence they knew, but couldn’t say for sure that they didn’t miss any.
“But, how come Macuy ran away? What happened? Chief, that was an elite squad you sent to do the job, right? Are you sure you didn’t let Macuy go on purpose?” A clearly sarcastic voice was heard.
“Hu, you can’t say that. The leader of that squad was a level-six superpowered man after all, and the other members were all at level-five. The squad that our Chief sent out wasn’t weak at all. But, how did the zombie run away… How did he do it?” Said another man. At first, he disagreed with the first man; but later on, he seemed to take his side in an indirect way.
The first man was Hu Zhiyong, a member of the board; the second man was Liu Zhinan, who was also a board member. The two of them would never hide their discontentment about Si Kongchen. Whenever they had chance, they would let out sarcastic words toward Si Kongchen.
“Earlier on, I had said that we should drain Macuy’s blood and store it after the first batch of antidote was succeeded. We could use half of the blood to produce a larger batch of the antidote, and save the other half to develop a better antidote. What did you say at that time…? Ah, you said the blood of a living zombie can preserve the energy in a better way. Now what? The energy is preserved so well that the zombie has even freed himself,” Hu Zhiyong said loudly with laughter.
As he finished talking, Si Kongchen’s face turned even sourer.
The others stayed silent, watching. The atmosphere in the conference room became tender and tender, yet the board members who were sitting before the conference table didn’t care. Unlike them, the Deputy Chiefs standing by their sides didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. They stayed absolutely quiet, without even raising their eyes.
“We can’t admit it. We just pass the buck again. So, whoever spread the words, we make him take the blame,” Si Kongchen said with a cold voice.
“But, we still haven’t found that missing squad member. Could he have fallen into those people’s hands?” Wei Haichao said.
