Killing the metal-powered zombie dominator was a little difficult. But still, Lin Qiao managed to devour all his energy with the dark fire and the help of her space’s suppressive power. When the zombie’s skin finally turned back normal, she cut off his head with her claw.
After digging out the zombie’s nucleus, she burned his body out and then went after the other zombie dominator.
The second dominator had wind power. Without a strong defense, he quickly died in Lin Qiao’s hands. She killed him just like how she killed Lu Zhuofeng.
She harvested two level-seven nuclei, then flashed out of her space invisibly to observe the war situation. The three people had each been chasing behind a zombie dominator, and the other zombies took the opportunity to run.
She then returned to the fence wall of Huaxia Base and found that the massive zombie attack had eased quite a lot, as the group of zombie dominators had left.
…
In All Beings Base, Lu Tong woke up to find himself in a familiar room, then he looked around.
As he thought, he was again lying in a ward in the medical department of the base. The ward had four beds in it. One was empty, and the other three were taken.
It was quiet in the ward. Except for the other two patients, he didn’t see any other people. The other two patients were in sleep, and no one was there to take care of them.
Lu Tong was delighted. He believed that it was Yuan Tianxing who sent him to the medical department. Yuan Tianxing was too busy, so he might not have time to come here and visit him.
However, he believed that Yuan Tianxing would certainly come back.
“Oi, you’re awake! How do you feel? Dizzy? Do you feel sick?” A man in a carer’s suit walked in and asked Lu Tong some questions smilingly, as he found that the latter was awake.
Among all people who now lived in All Beings Base, the number of women was pathetically small. After all when Hades Base was broken, most of the women had been sent to the Earth Dragon Base. The ones who were kept in Hades Base as captives were mostly men. Some Earth Dragon Base soldiers were also forced to stay there.
Therefore, no women could be found among the two batches of Hades Base survivors who had moved into All Beings Base.
So currently, except for the ladies from Lin Family, Long Qingying, Duan Juan, Ding Datong’s sister, there was no other woman in the base.
In the medical department, all carers and nurses were men.
Lu Tong shook his head to the carer and smiled, “I’m fine. I’m just having a slight headache.”
“Good then. That headache is normal. You have a hole in your head after all. Just take some rest. You’ll recover!” The carer comforted him nicely.
Lu Tong nodded, then eagerly asked, “Who brought me here? I… I want to thank him.” He firmly believed that it was Yuan Tianxing who sent him there, yet he asked anyway.
The carer thought for a moment, then answered his question, “It was a couple of workers. They found you were lying on the ground injured, so they brought you here.”
Lu Tong was smiling as he expected to hear the words ‘Deputy Chief’ from that carer. But to his surprise, the answer wasn’t what he expected. The smile froze on his face, being replaced by disbelief within a few seconds.
“What? Workers? Not Deputy Chief Yuan?” He was so surprised that he asked that question without thinking.
The carer looked at him confusedly and said, “What? Deputy Chief Yuan? No, you were brought here by a few men who work at the construction site. You can ask around if you want to thank them.”
Things didn’t go the way he planned, so Lu Tong was confused. How come it wasn’t Yuan Tianxing? He knocked himself out right before Yuan Tianxing came near him. He should have walked past that area and seen him. But, the carer said that it was a few workers from the construction site who sent him to the medical department. Except for Yuan Tianxing and his people, no other people were in that area back then. Where did those workers come from?
Did Yuan Tianxing see him but didn’t want to bring him to the medical department personally? Did he ask those workers to send him there?
Lu Tong thought about it over and over again. He didn’t believe what the carer had said. He believed that Yuan Tianxing found him, but didn’t want to bother sending him all the way to the medical department. So, he asked a few workers to do that.
The carer saw that Lu Tong seemed to fall into a daze, so he asked, “What’s wrong? If you don’t feel well, just close your eyes and rest.”
Neither of them noticed that someone was by the door outside with her back against the wall, listening to their conversation. As the conversation ended, she silently turned and left.
Long Qingying returned to her room and looked at Lin Wenwen, who was sitting on the couch, “He was surprised.”
Lin Wenwen snorted scornfully and said, “He’d surely be surprised. The story didn’t go the way he wanted. I guess he’s not only surprised, but also pissed off.”
Lu Tong stayed in the medical department for two days. Once he was discharged, he went to the construction site to look for the people who saved him. Those workers spotted him once he arrived.
“Oi, Lu Tong, what are you doing here? You are injured. You should stay in bed and rest. What are you doing out here? What if you got hurt again?” They looked at Lu Tong, whose head was wrapped in gauze, and told him to rest.
“I… I came here to see the people who saved me. I want to thank them…” Lu Tong’s face was pale but carried a determined look.
Seeing him so weak yet so determined, those workers were a little worried about him. So, someone answered his question immediately.
“Oh… It’s Hua and his friends. They found you near the canteen. You were lying on the ground. They ran to you and found that your head was bleeding. It gave them quite a startle. So, they sent you to the medical department hurriedly. They’re over there, go.”
“Yeah. Lu Tong, did you make some enemies? Why did you get attacked?”
Lu Tong couldn’t help but wore a sour face when he heard what those people said. He endured the headache and went to talk to Hua and his friends, then confirmed that what the people said was true. Learning about that, he became very unhappy.
He didn’t believe that carer, but everyone at the construction site said the same to him. Clearly, the carer wasn’t lying. Many people at the construction site had heard about what happened to him.
Did Yuan Tianxing really not know about his injury? Did he not find him? Did Lu Tong hit his own head and get injured for nothing?
Thinking of that possibility, Lu Tong was even going to explode with anger. Who on earth ruined his plan?
