Hou Guozhong abruptly turned to Xiao Yunlong and his people, looking at them with a sour face as he said, “I heard that your Chief Wu is spending a lot of time in All Beings Base, that new base . I guess he really likes Miss Lu . ”
Xiao Yunlong nodded and admitted, “I think so too . But sadly, she doesn’t like him back . There’s a long way for our Chief Wu to go if he wants to marry her . ”
Hou Guozhong said, “On our way here, we heard that a lightning power possessor in All Beings Base went mad . We don’t know who that was . ”
There was a hidden meaning in his words . Everyone knew that lightning power possessors were rare . Wu Chengyue was the only one they knew, apart from that zombie emperor .
“Really? How come we didn’t hear about that?” Xiao Yunlong responded with confusion .
“Stop hiding it . Wu Chengyue is a level-eight lightning power possessor . Who can approach him when he’s out of control? I guess your Chief Wu is still in a bad state now, huh?” Wei Haichao said with a sneer .
He pointed out that he and his people had already known about what happened to Wu Chengyue . Without Wu Chengyue, what right did Sea City Base have to go against Huaxia Base?
Sea City Base people had been showing a bad attitude, so Huaxia Base people didn’t intend to show any more mercy .
“Chief Wu is fine . Don’t worry about him,” Zou Shihui said blandly, then took a sip of his wine . Clearly, he didn’t take Wei Haichao’s words seriously . Xiao Yunlong reacted in the same way .
The others all believed that they were trying to hide the truth, and guessed that they weren’t as calm as they looked like .
Knowing that Plan B didn’t work, Wei Haichao and his people had no reason to stay in Sea City Base with fake smiles on their faces . They all stood up, then turned and left with their faces pulled long .
“I’ll walk you guys out of the gate . Which gate would you like to take? The North Gate or…” Xiao Yunlong stood up and asked with laughter .
“The West Gate . Are we afraid of those zombies? We’ll take that gate, and maybe we’ll conveniently solve the zombie problem for you . Shouldn’t you guys thank us for that?” Wei Haichao responded with a fake smile .
“Don’t bother . We can solve that problem by ourselves . You don’t need to do that for us,” Xiao Yunlong responded carelessly .
“Suit yourself then! We’ll still take the West Gate,” Wei Haichao erased the smile on his face and said coldly .
The expected chaos didn’t happen, so Wei Haichao and his people had no chance of kidnapping those scientists . They couldn’t do it right under the watch of Sea City leaders anyway . Xiao Yunlong and Zou Shihui walked them straight out of the gate, in case they might try to play any tricks .
After leaving the base, Wei Haichao and Hou Guozhong instantly headed toward the zombie crowd and soon found those damaged combat vehicles . They both wore the drug invented by Green Mountain Base, the smell of which drove the zombies near them away .
The drug provided people with convenience if they needed to go out of the base to carry out some kind of mission . However, it was not helpful for zombie hunters .
The faces of Wei Haichao and Hou Guozhong were black as thunder as the two of them saw those burned vehicles .
“Boss, we found the other cars . They’re all… the same . ” One of their subordinates searched around and then came back to report to Hou Guozhong . Hearing that, Hou Guozhong wore an even deeper frown .
“These cars were attacked by either fire power or lightning power . They were fine this morning, but broken within such a short time . The one who did this is strong,” Li Zhengye observed those vehicles and shared his opinion .
Those vehicles were burned black, with no other traces near them . Clearly, someone attacked those vehicles while they were still driving and then blew them up . Some body parts were found in the cars, and surrounding the cars were puddles of blood and body pieces . The zombies might have dragged some corpses out of the cars and eaten them .
The weapons on every vehicle had been destroyed, and those advanced weapons were trashed even before they were used .
“It can’t be lightning power! Wu Chengyue didn’t go crazy here . If it were him, these cars couldn’t be the only things that got attacked . Besides, no other traces of lightning strikes were found near the vehicles,” Hou Guozhong excluded Wu Chengyue, as he believed that the latter couldn’t possibly show up there .
“Who was it then? It seems that your men didn’t even have the time to react when the attack happened, meaning that the one who did this is certainly at a higher level than they are . He should be at level-seven at least, with lightning power or fire power . Among all level-seven people from All Beings Base and Sea City Base… only Lin Feng from All Beings Base has fire power . Was it him? I didn’t hear about him breaking into level-seven though . He reached level-six last year . I don’t think he can upgrade again so soon,” Li Zhengye suddenly thought of Lin Feng .
“No matter who did this, I will find him!” Wei Haichao snorted through clenched teeth .
“Sea City Base has officially turned against Huaxia Base . What are you going to do next?” Bao Chengzhi turned to Hou Guozhong and asked . Their plan ended up as a total failure this time . They had no intention of making any deal with Sea City Base, so they didn’t bring anything but the small number of supplies which served as a disguise . The elites and weapons that they brought in secret had all been destroyed, and they were bringing home nothing .
They didn’t get the soil remedy or the scientists . In addition to that, all the trades between Huaxia Base and Sea City Base were stopped . That was like a slap on the face for Huaxia Base, which was known as the most powerful base in the country .
“Those ungrateful Sea City Base people better don’t blame us for having no mercy . They can’t possibly cure Wu Chengyue anyway . Let’s see what power they have to fight against us,” Wei Haichao said viciously, with a cold and fierce look in his eyes .
“Sea City Base people are so selfish . They have the soil remedy, but refuse to share it with us? Human beings should unite . It’ll be harder and harder for people to survive if everybody is like them,” Li Zhengye criticized Sea City Base people with discontentment .
In the post-apocalyptic era, the only way to earn respect was to be strong . People minded only their own business . If one wanted to get things from the others, he or she would need to pay an equal price .
Huaxia had so many more technologies than Sea City Base did . They didn’t share those for free to unite mankind and help people to survive . Instead, they cast their greedy eyes on the technologies that they didn’t have and planned to get them by unfair means .
