Anyhow, Leng Xuantong was aware that Lin Qiao did not come as a friend of Huaxia Base, and that what she was going to do would be very bad for the base.
However, when talking to him, she seemed to be quite sure that he wouldn't tell anyone about it. That made sense though, as she had known all his secrets. So, under that kind of threat, he, of course, wouldn't mention her to anyone.
He had been hiding his experiment so well. How did that stranger find out about it?
Leng Xuantong was a little curious about what she would do next. She wasn't going to steal that zombie for real, was she? If that did happen, the situation would become interesting. The guests from all the other bases had arrived, yet the zombie, as the most important part of the grand meeting, would be gone.
While thinking about that, he had no idea that Lin Qiao had already started taking actions.
It was surely difficult for people to gather information at the middle of the night. Therefore, Li Zheng and his people prepared to get to know the place first, then begin gathering information in the morning, when the people in the base started doing their work.
Lin Qiao quickly moved toward the building of the research institute, and soon landed on the roof of that building.
On the other side of the base, Wu Chengyue and the other guests were staying in another building. Huaxia Base people had cleaned that building up especially to accommodate the guests from the other bases.
"I really don't understand why you brought Ling Ling here. This place is too cold. What if the kid couldn't adapt the weather?" Xiao Licheng looked at Wu Chengyue and complained.
He had said that for a couple of times. However, every time he saw Wu Yueling, who was wearing so many clothes that she even looked like a ball, he couldn't help but repeat it one more time. He regretted once he said that out.
Wu Yueling was wearing a fuzzy bottoming shirt, a sweater, and a long, feather coat, along with a thick pair of cotton-padded trousers.
Under her clothes, her long hair were everywhere around her neck.
"I had to bring her. I'd be worried if I left her in the base alone. What if her illness attacked when she couldn't see me?" Wu Chengyue glanced at Wu Yueling and then said to Xiao Licheng.
Xiao Licheng knew that he would give the same answer as he did last time."You're right, " he sighed and replied.
"You've asked me the same question so many times. Can you please stop?" This time, Wu Chengyue looked at him with discontentment.
"Okay... Oh, Lu Zhuofeng has already arrived, and so have the others. I wonder if Miss. Lu is here, " Xiao Licheng changed the topic.
"Who knows! Anyway, she can't get in through the front door even if she wants to, " Wu Chengyue laughed. The front entrance of the base was equipped with virus-detecting devices. The alarm might go off once she approached.
On the lower floor, Lu Zhuofeng was in his room. He had a visitor not long after he entered Huaxia Base.
"The research institute includes many departments, and the virus study department is underground. We went down there, but didn't find that zombie. However, we can say for sure that it's in the underground institute, " Lu Zhuofeng's subordinate said to him.
"What about those people from the other bases?" Lu Zhuofeng asked.
"They have all secretly sent out their people to scout around."
As for what had they been scouting for, the subordinate didn't need to point it out specifically. Lu Zhuofeng clearly knew that all the other bases wanted the information about that zombie.
"What about Sea City Base? Did that woman make a scene? Are those Upper City District people here?" Lu Zhuofeng thought of Sea City Base, so he asked some further questions.
Hearing him, the subordinate wore a confused look, "It's strange though. That woman did make a scene when she got back to her base, but the leaders of Sea City Base barely paid attention to her. And a couple of days after she went back, she was wasted. Those Upper City District people all returned to their bases, and none of them have left the base so far."
"Wasted? What do you mean by that?" Lu Zhuofeng looked at him and asked with surprise.
"She was found in a secluded basement. She was still breathing when people found her, but seemed to haven't eaten for a few days. Also, her energy nucleus was broken, so her power was wasted. She's unconscious now, like p. v. s." The subordinate replied.
"Eh? Who did that to her? Where?" Lu Zhuofeng was even more surprised.
She became p. v. s, meaning that she was still alive. Did Upper City District people do that? Had she really disclosed some kind of secrets in Upper City Base? Was that why those people wasted her in secret? After all, Upper City District people didn't dare to go against Sea City Base openly.
"According to one version of the story, that basement is where she kept her toyboy. That man who was kept there might have attacked her and run away, as she was already injured." The subordinate paused briefly, then continued, "We don't know if it was that man who broke her energy nucleus, but her keeping a toyboy was a real thing."
"That woman had a good reputation. I'm surprised that she was still unable to bear the loneliness in private, " said Lu Zhuofeng expressionlessly."Didn't those Upper City Base people come here?"
"No, " said the other.
Lu Zhuofeng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't think so. They must have sent their people here. Otherwise, that squad wouldn't follow me all the way here."
Since he left Earth Dragon Base, a group pf people followed him from a distance away. He knew it since the beginning. Those people were pretty brave, as they actually had the courage to stalk a level-eight man.
Before arriving at Huaxia City, he led those people to a group of roe deers. He knew that a giant number of mutated roe deers lived tens of miles away in the South of Huaxia City, and that those animals were fierce and aggressive. Those people were mostly at level three or two, so, he believed that they would die there. There were over ten-thousands roe deers. In a couple of days, the level-five one among them would die of exhaustion, and then the rest of them would end up being eaten by roe deers.
Xie Dong and his zombie squad didn't go the same way as Li Zheng and his people at first; moreover, they were zombies. For those reasons, Lu Zhuofeng didn't notice them.
"So, I guess they left the base in secret. But, no one saw any of them enter Huaxia base." The subordinate thought for a moment and then made a guess.
"Haven't you seen any strange person entering the base?" Lu Zhuofeng blinked as he slightly knitted his pair of thick and dark eyebrows and asked.
The subordinate shook his head at first, then abruptly nodded and said, "Oh, one group of people are weird. They said that they're from Green Mountain Base, and they have a mutated dog. More strangely, Huaxia Base people let that dog in."
Normally, mutated animals with unclear backgrounds wouldn't be allowed in any base.
