Hearing Gao Haoyun’s flirting words, Wu Chengyue had a gleam of cold light flashing across his eyes. He glanced at Lin Qiao, but didn’t say anything.
He felt that if he started talking at that point, the zombie lady might dislike him even more.
As he expected, she responded to Gao Haoyun with a cold smile, “I don’t like the things that are pleasant to the eye but of no use either. You have failed to even save your own base, and you have to hide in someone else’s base to keep yourself safe. How can a man like you be shameless enough to say something like that here?”
He was tall and strong indeed, yet he couldn’t even guard his own base. He possessed a level-eight superpower, but he sought protection from someone else’s base. What did his power do to help?
Gao Haoyun had his face darkened as he eyed Lin Qiao with a cold look that contained a slight murderous intention. She taunted him in front of so many base leaders. She said that he was pleasing to the eyes but of no use. He was obviously infuriated, looking as black as thunder.
Before he said anything, Lin Qiao continued with a sneer, “What? Am I wrong? Why don’t we ask everybody else about it? Heilong Base has a rich population and a good number of superpowered people. As the strongest man in the base, you, a level-eight ice-power possessor, hopped onto a helicopter and fled while your people were still able to fight. I did not know that Gao Haoyun, the Chief of Heilong Base, was actually such a coward.”
Hearing her words, all the others on the scene looked at her and Gao Haoyun in a meaningful way.
Gao Haoyun was a powerful, level-eight man, indeed! Except for Si Kongchen, Wu Chengyue and Lan Lu, whose power was still a mystery, no one else on the scene could match him. Lin Qiao was right. When Heilong Base was surrounded by zombies, Gao Haoyun didn’t try to fight back. He didn’t do anything to try and save his base before he fled in a helicopter. That did make him look like a coward, and made the others despise him.
Currently, people saw Du Kunsheng as a better man than Gao Haoyun. He was a little dark-minded and always played dirty tricks, yet he never gave up on Heilong Base. He had also managed to save the lives of so many people in that base.
People believed that in terms of courage and wisdom, Du Kunsheng was more like a leader than Gao Haoyun was.
“Shut up!” Gao Haoyun finally responded through clenched teeth as he glared at Lin Qiao. His eyes gave out a strong intent of killing that he just couldn’t conceal anymore.
“What? You did it, but you’re too afraid to admit?” Lin Qiao snorted scornfully and looked back at Gao Haoyun right in the eyes with no fear.
The others looked at Lin Qiao with surprise. They didn’t expect to see Gao Haoyun be stumped by just a few words from her. Some of them turned to Si Kongchen, as they wanted to know what he thought about that.
Si Kongchen was sitting there with no expression, his eyes dropped. Clearly, he didn’t want to say anything at that moment.
“Alright! Our first priority now should be dealing with the zombie emperor. It has only been six years since the end of the world, yet a zombie emperor has already emerged. I guess more emperors will be seen soon enough. By then, all human bases might be in danger,” Wu Chengyue forcibly brought up the original topic.
“What do you think a zombie emperor is? Can any zombie reach that level so easily?” Gao Haoyun glanced at Wu Chengyue with a cold smile, as he didn’t believe what the latter said at all.
“Oh, as far as I know, a lot of level six and seven zombies exist now. They might break into a higher level at any time. So, what Chief Wu said is really possible,” Lan Lu joined the conversation smilingly, “Besides, the zombie emperor has a couple of zombie dominators under his command. In combination, those zombies can cause as much damage as the emperor can.”
While speaking, he looked at Si Kongchen. Si Kongchen, Gao Haoyun and Wu Chengyue had seen the zombie emperor, so they were supposed to know about those zombie dominators under the emperor’s command.
One zombie dominator might be easy to deal with, but if a couple of them joined hands as Lan Lu had said, defeating them would no longer be a simple job.
Si Kongchen was thinking really, really hard at that moment. However, he could not think of a way to kill the zombie emperor. He had already fought a battle against that zombie and learned how strong it was. He now realized that the plan he had earlier was completely useless.
If even Si Kongchen could not think of a solution, none of the others could.
…
As the group of humans was trying to figure out a way against the zombie emperor, Mo Yan the emperor had entered a weak state as all his energy was consumed up. What was weak was not his body, but his zombie nucleus.
He felt that his nucleus wasn’t able to store energy anymore. Ever since he caused the explosion during the battle against the three men, he couldn’t store the energy that he absorbed in his nucleus like he used to do. The energy he absorbed all ended up leaking out of his body slowly.
As his nucleus couldn’t store energy anymore, his superpower was disabled. So, Mo Yan was currently like an ordinary zombie. He still gave out the level-eight vibe, but his power was gone.
“Roar!” ‘Get out! Stay away from me!’
At that moment, Mo Yan locked himself in a room and roared angrily at his subordinates who were gathering outside.
The weakening of himself gave him an immense sense of crisis. He not only sensed danger from the enemies, but also from his subordinates. If those zombies learned that he was weaker than them now, they might turn against him.
Zombies had no feelings, no matter how long they had followed him for. If Mo Yan hadn’t been suppressing them with his power, those zombies would have run away long ago. If they knew that he wasn’t able to defeat them for the time being, they might rise in rebellion right away.
Hearing Mo Yan’s roar, the group of zombies moved tens of meters away from the building and guarded there. They didn’t understand why their boss wanted them to stay away from him, and didn’t sense his weakening either.
“Roar…” ‘Go! Lead the crowd, attack! You, lead the charge!’
Mo Yan gave them an order.
The five zombie dominators who were over ten meters away from each other looked at each other and hesitated for a few seconds, then left quickly.
…
In Huaxia Base, people suspended the meeting that was leading to no result and then returned to their rooms. But, someone barred Lin Qiao’s way once she came out of the command room.
Gao Haoyun’s masculine face was clouded over. He stared at Lin Qiao in the eyes and said to her, “Woman, wait and see! I’ll let you know if I have the power or not! At least, I can f*ck you to death!”
Having finished talking, he scanned Lin Qiao from head to toe, then turned and left with a wicked and lubricious smile.
Lin Qiao remained calm as she watched him leave, then kept heading toward her room.
Wu Chengyue, who had just exited the room together with Lan Lu, looked at Gao Haoyun’s back. He still had that faint smile on his face, but in his eyes was a rich coldness. He then gave Lin Qiao a glance and quickly turned his eyes away.
