Next morning, the leader of Huaxia Base sent his people to invite the leaders of other bases to discuss what happened last night .

The seats in the reception room were well arranged . Every Chief had an armchair, with a tea table by the side . Behind that were two armchairs, with a tea table in the middle . Those were for the relatively high-placed people under the Chiefs, such as Deputy Chiefs .
Si Kongchen sat in the host’s seat as he smilingly said to the other base leaders, “I assume you have all learned what happened last night . The source of material that we used for making the antidote was stolen . We haven’t even found a clue of it yet . So now, we have sealed off our base . The base will not be unsealed until we have found the source of the material . Thank you all for understanding . ”
The group of base leaders nodded at him knowingly, yet no one could tell what they each had been thinking .
“What a coincidence! It wasn’t stolen earlier or later . Instead, it went missing right when we all gathered here . I guess some among the people in this room came with plans,” Lu Zhuofeng raised his eyebrows and said to Si Kongchen with a smile .
Si Kongchen gave him a smile and responded, “Chief Lu, did you have that kind of a plan? You mentioned the people in this room, so I suppose you are included as well, right?”
“I am curious about the source of the material you have lost . I heard that the antidote is made from the blood of a special zombie, and the parts of several kinds of mutated animals and plants . Chief Si, can you please tell us which material is missing now?” Wu Chengyue sat in front of Lu, wearing his daily smile .

Si Kongchen didn’t plan to hide the truth . He looked at Wu Chengyue and replied, “The special zombie was stolen . It’s the source of the most important material . ”
He was planning to make the zombie disappear right before the eyes of all those base leaders, then move it to the next hiding spot . In that case, people would think that Huaxia Base wouldn’t be able to produce more antidote, and then, he would have every reason to raise the price .
Si Kongchen didn’t come up with that idea, the board did . He thought it was a good idea, so he approved the action .
Unexpectedly, things didn’t develop in the way they wanted . They planned to tell the others that the zombie had gone missing, and now, it was missing for real .
People had guessed that it was the zombie which had been stolen, but didn’t expect Si Kongchen to say it out so soon . After all, the zombie was stolen in their own place when some people from other bases were there . They sealed off the base and forbade people from leaving, meaning that they were suspecting the people from other bases . Now, as Si Kongchen had said it out loud in that meeting, it was clear that he didn’t plan to show the other base leaders any respect .
Those base leaders had no idea that it was a plan of Huaxia Base, and that in the end, someone else took advantage of it .

“Oh, I was curious about how special that zombie was, and was looking forward to Chief Si giving us an introduction . Now, it seems that I won’t even have a chance to see it,” Lan Lu smiled and said .
In a frank manner, he told Si Kongchen that he was indeed interested in that zombie . Hearing that, the others had their expressions changed . Si Kongchen even had his eyes glowing with a cold light .
“Green Mountain Base, you’ve been hiding pretty well . Last time, your base sent out a squad which included a level-seven and a level-six to hunt a traitor, who was at level-seven too . Can you get level-seven people for free? There’re so many of them in your base!” Wu Chengyue said to Level-seven with laughter .
“Ah, we don’t have a large population in our base, but our overall strength is not bad . Tang He wasn’t just a random traitor… He was an important administrator in our base . We just don’t know why he betrayed us,” Lan Lu smiled at him and responded .
“So, even though you are a small base, you are powerful . Why haven’t you been communicating with the other bases? Your base isn’t a secret paradise, is it? You’ve been hiding somewhere without letting the others know about you,” Wu Chengyue kept joking with him . Their conversation was completely off the topic .
When it came to the mysterious Green Mountain Base which emerged in the fifth year after the apocalypse, the others had great interests as well . Therefore, none of them interrupted Wu Chengyue .

“I share the same thought as Chief Wu . Chief Lan, you are not only a level-eight man, but also a possessor of spirit power . Upgrading is a difficult thing for the possessors of that special kind of power, right? The higher, the harder . However, you made it to level-eight without letting us hear anything about it . Were you planning to show up suddenly to scare us?” Lu Zhuofeng said smilingly as well .
Wu Chengyue had seen Lei Cheng and Zhenghao once . He talked to Lan Lu only ease the tense atmosphere, and also to be friendly with him . Without a doubt, he was holding no bad intentions .
But, Lu Zhuofeng was not like him . He emphasized on Lu Zhuofeng’s level and power, so everyone’s attention was attracted to Lan Lu on hearing what he said .
A level-eight possessor of spirit power was indeed a special being who was able to hurt the others with a single thought . High-leveled people wouldn’t die under his spirit power, but might have their brain damaged . But, lower-leveled people would directly go mad, or even have brain death . More seriously, a spirit-power attack might make the brain of an unprepared person explode, which would kill that person immediately .
That kind of power wasn’t so effective on zombies, but was highly threatening to human beings .
Sitting behind Lan Lu were two level-seven superpowered people . Except for Huaxia Base, the three of them had already made the strongest force on the scene . Inevitably, the others grew vigilant against them .
“We are not the only new base in the country . I guess you have also heard about the new base in Hangzhou City, right? It’s weird though . Chief Si, didn’t you invite the leader of that new base?” Lan Lu smiled with composure, then changed the topic to the new base .
At that moment, Lin Qiao, who had been listening to the meeting, wanted very much to kick Lan Lu’s chair . He was actually using her base as a shield!
Lin Qiao was there alone, invisible, without paying attention to that black panther . The base had been sealed off anyway, so the panther couldn’t leave the base easily . She planned to let him stroll around in the base and learn about his current situation . As long as he was conscious, he couldn’t possibly ignore that .
Besides, Lin Qiao was able to sense his vibe clearly . Therefore, she knew about his every move .
So now, she stayed cool and came here to watch the meeting . But, someone mentioned her new base not long after the meeting was started .
