Chapter 699
Lin Qiao looked at the two girls, who were both a little childish . However, Yun Meng could be calmer than Qiu Lili when she was serious . In terms of attacking ability, Qiu Lili was better at long-range attacks . But this time, Lin Qiao decided to take Yun Meng with her because the latter was also able to turn invisible . Invisibility was a good skill for assassination .

Lin Qiao would do the long-range attacking herself .
“Lili, you should keep an eye on the other high-leveled zombies in the base and Mount . Wu farmland . You’ve been out there for years… just stay at home this time,” Lin Qiao looked at Qiu Lili and said .
“Alright,” Qiu Lili responded reluctantly .
Then, Lin Qiao turned to Lin Feng and said, “Lin Feng, you can take some people out to collect supplies . Bring anything you find useful back . ”
“I get it,” Lin Feng nodded .
Later that day, as Lin Wenwen received the task, she looked at Lin Qiao, who was standing at her door, and asked with surprise, “Eh? Am I going too?”
“You’ve been training yourself for so long . It’s time to see the results . The training that you had in the base is different from actual combat . Don’t you want to know how strong you are now?” Lin Qiao said .
Without the sense of crisis from actual combat, she would have no space for improvement . Currently, Lin Wenwen’s strength had grown, and reaction speed had raised . However, her strain capacity was limited . Her training had only lasted for a few months after all .
“Is there a problem?” Lin Qiao looked at her and asked .

Lin Wenwen glanced at her, then turned to look at Long Qingying, who was her tutor .
Long Qingying looked back at her, but said nothing .
“Good! Be ready… We’ll leave in three days,” Lin Qiao nodded, then turned and left with Duan Juan .
This time, Lin Wenwen didn’t hesitate, and neither did she reject the mission, for the reason that she only wanted to stay in the same place with Yuan Tianxing .
She needed to grow, and she needed to be strong . Her space power didn’t give her any attacking ability; which was why she needed to strengthen her body .
“How do you think my sister will conquer Hidden Cloud City? They have hundreds of thousands of people . Can we win?” Lin Wenwen closed the door, then turned around and asked Long Qingying .
“Those are hundreds of thousands of commoners . Don’t worry! I think Chief is only targeting those administrators of that base . Without Lu Zhuofeng, they are no match for our Chief,” Long Qingying was very confident about Lin Qiao .
Lin Wenwen nodded and said, “You’re right . I was overthinking . ”
“You accepted the task pretty quickly this time . You’re going somewhere far away, and will stay out there for a while . You won’t be seeing your Brother Tianxing out there . Can you handle that?” Long Qingying looked at her expressionlessly and teased her .

Lin Wenwen stayed silent . A short while later, she responded, “He likes my sister . Haven’t you found that ever since he learned that my sister was still alive, his eyes are always on her? I don’t wish for him to pay attention to me, but I want to stand by his side . I need to be qualified for that, don’t I? I want to help my sister run the base, together with him . So, I need to make it to that place with my own strength . ”
“Well, it might take you a long time based on your current state,” Long Qingying said .
“It’s okay… I won’t give up, no matter how long it takes,” Lin Wenwen smiled as her eyes glowed filled with determination .
Long Qingying still wore no expression . She looked at Lin Wenwen and sighed silently, but didn’t say anything .
Duan Juan knew what Lin Wenwen was like before . With concern, she followed behind Lin Qiao and said to her, “Is it really okay for Wenwen to come with us? She has changed quite a lot, though . ”
Lin Wenwen was like a princess before . Duan Juan believed that even though she had changed, she would still be stubborn sometimes . She used to carry out missions together with Lin Wenwen, as the latter’s space could be used for storing food . Back then, they always had a squad to protect her . At present, the new base was already short-handed, so Duan Juan wasn’t sure if they could still spare attention to keep Lin Wenwen safe during the mission .
“She is much different from before now . She wants to grow strong, so I’ll give her a chance . If she can’t do this, where would she find the confidence that can impress Yuan Tianxing?” Lin Qiao gave a faint smile .
Three days later, Lin Qiao left with a few combat cars early in the morning .
As the intelligence squad, Li Zheng and his people left earlier, driving an off-road car . Soon after they left the base, Lin Qiao found some people near the border between West Lake District and Upper City District .

She flashed across the air and showed up on the roof of Li Zheng’s car .
“Stop!”
The car was stopped . Li Zheng stuck his head out of the window and saw Lin Qiao leap down the roof .
“Li Zheng, take some people to see who they are,” Lin Qiao looked at that area and said .
“Yes, Ma’am!” Li Zheng and his people quickly got off the car and moved into the woods nearby, then sneaked toward the area that Lin Qiao pointed at .
Lin Qiao returned to the motorcade, where Duan Juan and Xie Dong were standing before her car, looking at her . Behind them, Lin Wenwen got out of the car while Long Qingying jumped off the car roof .
“What’s wrong?” Lin Wenwen glanced at Lin Qiao . It seemed that they needed to stop there for a while .
“Something happened in the front . We’ll stay here for a while and wait for Li Zheng to come back,” Lin Qiao looked at that area and said .
Those people were only about three miles away . The strongest one among them was a level-six, and the rest were all at level five and four . They shouldn’t be able to sense Lin Qiao and her people .
Before long, Li Zheng and his people returned .
“They are from Hidden Cloud City . Over two-hundred people, led by Qi Hanhui the Deputy Chief . About ten of them are at level-five, thirty at level-four,” Li Zheng told Lin Qiao about what he had roughly found out .
“Qi Hanhui? Em, what else?” Lin Qiao scratched her chin and asked .
“They seemed to have sent out some people to scout . Right now, I think they are waiting for them,” said Li Zheng .
Li Zheng’s squad only observed those people from a distance, and didn’t get too close . Therefore, they could only vaguely identify them and make guesses about their current situation .
“Wait? Scout?” Lin Qiao put her left arm before her chest as her right elbow rested on the back of her left hand . While touching her chin with her right hand, she thought for a moment .
“I think they’re here for us . A few batches of people have arrived during these couple of days, but not all of them are from Hidden Cloud Base…” Lin Qiao murmured .
According to Mo Yan, the one that he tortured to death was from the West, meaning that he was from Hidden Cloud Base . Hidden Cloud Base sent two level-six men with two-hundred people . Currently, one of the two level-six had died . Clearly, they weren’t here just to scout .
They should have also been searching for Lu Zhuofeng .
