“They were injected with a drug that contained the zombie virus . The skin of the corpses was purple, and they showed some features of zombies . However, those people were dead for sure . Their heads weren’t damaged . It seemed as if they died because their transformation from humans to zombies failed,” Ye Yingyue told Lin Qiao about what happened and what she saw .
Lin Qiao folded her arms before her chest and raised one hand to gently pinch her own chin with her thumb and forefinger while dropping her eyelids to think .
Was that the secret the mysterious man brought to Li Zhengye?
“Are they all dead?” Lin Qiao asked .
“Some of them are still missing . We don’t know if they died or not,” Ye Yingyue shook her head and said .
“So… Someone took them away, then their corpses were found together, showing some features of zombies . Did someone do a zombie experiment on them?” Lin Qiao thought for a moment and said .
“We don’t know . Currently, my boss is still trying to find out the truth and the man’s purpose . We don’t know if it’s like what you said,” Ye Yingyue shook her head again and said uncertainly .
Lin Qiao knitted her brows but didn’t say anything, and the office fell into silence . A few seconds later, she said, “Alright, I get it! I’ll have someone guide you to your zombies, since you said that you’d like to take a look at them . Yujen, take Miss Ye to the guys from Green Mountain Base . ”
“Yes, ma’am! Miss Ye, please come with me!” Shen Yujen came in and said to Ye Yingyue with a smile .
“Okay, thank you!” Ye Yingyue quickly stood up and nodded at Lin Qiao, then turned and followed Shen Yujen out of the office .
Lin Qiao sat on the couch and thought about what Ye Yingyue said, as well as the news that Xie Dong brought back from Sky Fire Base .
Recently, Li Zhengye was secretly capturing superpower possessors from his own base too . According to Ye Yingyue, some people from Green Mountain Base and Huaxia Base went missing and then were found dead . They seemed to have turned into zombies, but their cause of death was not damage to their heads . By putting all the clues together, Lin Qiao could totally guess what Sky Fire Base was up to .
Turning human superpower possessors into zombies? For what?
Sky Fire Base people might have found out about her zombie nature, so she needed to make a move as soon as possible to solve that problem . However, All Beings Base was now threatened by those dangerous underground creatures . Without solving that first, she could not leave her base to attack Sky Fire Base .
Sky Fire Base people might have already found out the truth about Lin Qiao, but they seemed to be making no movements .
Lin Qiao measured the two different kinds of threats and then decided to solve the nearest problem first . As for the truth about her nature, the enemies were only suspecting it . They hadn’t confirmed the message yet . So, Li Zhengye would send his people to All Being Base next to find out if what he heard was true, meaning that the situation for Lin Qiao would not be urgent .
With that thought, she immediately stood up and walked out of the office, returningto Base Number Two together with Duan Juan .
By using her vibe, she summoned Xie Dong to her office in Base Number Two and said, “Keep a closer eye on Li Zhengye . One, he might have started to suspect that I am a zombie, and second, he’s secretly capturing superpower possessors to do some kind of zombie experiments . ”
“Yes, ma’am!” Xie Dong wrote it down on a small notebook and nodded .
Next, Lin Qiao had a meeting with Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing, talking about the underground creature problem and also telling them about her plan for the next step, as well as her future schedule .
“Are you going down to the hole to capture them? Will it be dangerous?” Lin Feng asked with a serious look .
“I need to get down there to find out . I’ll go alone . I have invisibility and a space . I will be able to escape any dangerous situation that arises,” said Lin Qiao .
“I wonder if the stones that they brought back can suppress those underground creatures,” Yuan Tianxing rested his elbows on the table and crossed his fingers as he said with a frown .
“The energy in the stone is similar with the energy of those underground creatures . I don’t know if the stones can weaken those creatures or not . We have to give it a try to find out,” Lin Qiao looked at him and said .
After the meaning, Lin Qiao headed alone to the area which had been occupied by underground creatures .
In a building inside Sky Fire Base, the third floor underground was strictly guarded . The space there wasn’t large . Near the elevator was a two-hundred-meter square lab . The walls of the lab were made from frosted glass, so the things in the lab couldn’t be seen . Through the glass, people could only see some blurry images . Some people in white coats were moving inside the lab .
On both sides of the lab were two hallways . On the other side of each hallway were some closed doors and windows . People could look into the room through the windows .
“How’s number three doing?” In the lab, Li Zhengye was wearing a white coat, a facial mask, and a pair of gloves . He was holding a notebook and reading whatever was on it while asking the question to the man beside him .
“Number three has fallen into unconsciousness, but… his vital signs aren’t gone for good yet . ” The man said to him with fright, not daring to look straight at Li Zhengye .
“How’s the infection?” Li Zhengye frowned and asked .
“His muscles have gone stiff, and his blood has… stopped flowing . The virus is detected from his fingers and gums . He’s showing no obvious zombie features yet, but in fact, he has already turned into a zombie,” the man said .
“Keep injecting drug number four and ten . Keep a close eye on these people . Don’t let them run,” Li Zhengye put the notebook on a table while speaking .
“Yes… yes, sir!” The man quickly nodded and responded with great respect .
Only after watching Li Zhengye turn and walk out of the door of the lab did the man sigh with relief . Soon, some noises were heard from the elevator . After that, the people in the lab, who earlier tried so hard to keep themselves from being noticed by Li Zhengye, started talking .
“Who on earth got Li Zhengye that thing? This is murder!”
“Shh! Keep your voice down . We’d all be dead if someone told Li Zhengye what you just said . ”
“Yeah, mind your language!”
“Director, we haven’t gotten rid of the failed samples yet . How are we supposed to deal with them?”
The director, who talked to Li Zhengye earlier, stayed silent . The look on his face now was a little different from before . At the moment, he dropped his eyes immediately which glowed with a dim light . No one knew what he was thinking .
“Director?” As he didn’t respond, his assistant called him again .
“These could all become evidence . Don’t throw them out of the base . Find a place that no one knows about and hide those corpses there . Find someone with ice power and then ask that person to freeze all those corpses,” said the director .
“Will there be an accident? What if those dead people come back to life? Should we put a bullet into their heads in advance?” said the assistant with hesitation .
“No, do as I said!”
“Alright!”
