As Lin Wenwen and her people arrived at the base, she realized that her memory about the attack became unclear when she relived the time that the attack happened. Before, it was very real, but over time, it became more and more blurry.
She was confused. She didn't know if she had really experienced that or if that was just her illusion or a dream.
Near the zombie wall, a figure was standing in the middle of the road, waiting for them to pass. The zombie crowd had already moved to both sides of the road and cleared the way for them.
It was the zombie old man wearing a black, traditional Chinese styled robe, which had cloud patterns on it. His white hair were neatly brushed, hands held behind his body and back hunched slightly.
Under his glasses were a pair of purely dark eyes that had silver pupils. If it weren't for those eyes, one would think that he was a real old man.
"Eh? Grandpa Guo, are you here to pick us up? I didn't know that you're back too, " Lin Feng and his people got off the car when they saw the old man.
Earlier on, the old man followed Qiu Lili and Yun Meng out of the base to carry out missions. Him showing up in the base meant that Qiu Lili and Yun Meng were back home too.
He glanced at the motorcade behind Lin Wenwen.
"What's up, Grandpa Guo? Is there a problem?" Li Zheng stuck his head out of the car window and asked. He was trying to ask the old man if anyone in their team was infected.
Old Guo shook his head and said, "Get in." His voice was as hoarse as that of the other zombies.
Then, he stepped aside and watched Lin Wenwen walk to his side before asking her, "How's the harvest?"
Lin Wenwen shook her head and responded, "Not much, but good."
The old man nodded and said, "Chief isn't in the base these days."
Lin Wenwen's heart missed a beat. Suddenly, she began thinking about what might have happened to her and her people if they were really attacked by that metal vine. Lin Qiao wasn't in the base, so the help might have never arrived.
"Go, " The old man pointed at Lin Wenwen's car and said to her.
Lin Wenwen nodded, then turned and got inside the car. After that, the old man disappeared. As the motorcade entered the base, the zombie crowd moved back in position.
The old man hopped on top of a building nearby and murmured, "Where's the bloody kid? He's neglecting his duty!"
That area was supposed to under the guard of Four, the zombie boy. The old man came here to play with him and ended up pissing him off and driving him away. Then, the old man sensed the vibes of Lin Feng and his people, so he stayed to see if they needed any help.
Back in the base, people headed back home or left to do their work. After sorting and counting the harvests and putting them inside the storage, Lin Wenwen headed back to where she lived to rest. But, she ran into someone in the lobby.
"Ouch!" That person gave a shout. Lin Wenwen saw a person come right at her as she turned at a corner, so she quickly turned her body to dodge. That person gave a start and automatically leaned backward to avoid bumping into her. As a result, he slipped and fell to the ground.
"Are you okay!" Lin Wenwen looked at the young man with concern. He was slim, good-looking, with a medium height and a little pale complexion.
"I'm okay, " Lu Tong struggled back up from the ground and dusted off his pants, then raised his head to see Lin Wenwen's pretty face.
"As long as you're okay, " Lin Wenwen looked at him and smiled as she nodded mildly, then turned and left.
Looking at her back, Lu Tong blinked. A gleam of light flashed across his eyes.
On the other side, Lin Wenwen slowed down her pace and knitted her brows deeply.
Earlier on when she saw that young man, a blurry image flashed across her mind. She didn't pay much attention to it back then, but as he had walked away now, that image instantly grew clearer in her mind.
When the young man had walked a distance away, Lin Wenwen turned to look at his back. At that very moment, the image in her head became even clearer than before.
It was a dimly illuminated room, and she saw a man lying on his stomach on a bed. Half of his face was buried in the wrinkled quilt. Lin Wenwen focused on the exposed half of his face, which was so familiar to her. She had been looking at it, thinking about it for years.
That was Yuan Tianxing's face!
After recognizing that face, the image cleared even further, especially Yuan Tianxing's half-closed eyes and motionless body.
What was that place? That wasn't Yuan Tianxing's room! Why was he lying there? The room looked small and strange. Whose room was it?
Before Lin Wenwen figured out anything, she saw a person walk into the image from the bottom left. It was a young man. As he walked up to Yuan Tianxing and turned around, Lin Wenwen saw his face.
It was the young man that she saw just now.
What happened next made Lin Wenwen pop her eyes and breathe quickly as anger exploded in her mind.
She saw the young man walk to Yuan Tianxing, bend over, and start taking off his clothes. He stripped Yuan Tianxing, then began taking off his own clothes, and then got into the bed.
He lay on the bed beside Yuan Tianxing. While pulling the quilt, he dragged the naked Yuan Tianxing upon himself.
Yuan Tianxing made no move the entire time. He had his eyes closed, as if he couldn't feel anything.
The young man put Yuan Tianxing upon himself, then covered the two of them with the quilt.
At that time, Lin Wenwen felt dizzy. She quivered slightly, then had her mind clear up. The image had faded from her mind. Her face turned red, then pale. She gasped quickly for air and her chest heaved restlessly. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't ease the anger in her heart.
She forced herself to calm down, then raised her head and ran straight toward Yuan Tianxing's office. Meanwhile, she tried to figure out something about that image in her head.
She ran to the door of Yuan Tianxing's office. The door was open, so she saw him sitting behind his table at first glance, focusing on work.
Suddenly, she lost her courage of going in. She quickly turned and made a few steps backward. Lu Junjie, who was guarding by the door, opened his mouth and looked at her with confusion. He was going to greet her.
Seeing Yuan Tianxing sitting in his office unharmed, she instantly felt much better. However, the image that had popped up in her mind was still torturing her. She needed to find out the truth about it!
She calmed herself and glanced at the door. Then, she waved at Lu Junjie and signaled for him to come over before asking him a question.
"Has Tianxing been doing something strange lately? Or, how is he feeling these days?"

Chapter 793: Lu Tong's Plan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Junjie shook his head confusedly and responded, "No. Everything is good as usual."
Lin Wenwen instantly relaxed a little."Are you sure? Think carefully!" she confirmed it again.
Lu Junjie looked at her bewilderedly, saying, "I've been with him all the time. Nothing happened. He's in this office almost every single day. He hasn't even been going back to his dorm. What can possibly happen?"
"Good..." Lin Wenwen finally sighed with relief. While murmuring to herself, she turned and walked away, leaving Lu Junjie confused.
On the other side, Lu Tong found Li Honglin.
Li Honglin gave him a small bottle of liquid and said, "Here. This is made from mutated plants. It's genuine, and it came from Sea City Base."
Lu Tong took it over and asked, "This can put people into unconsciousness, but no more than that, right?"
Li Honglin nodded and said confidently, "Don't worry! This is just some strong knockout drug. The dosage depends on whom you'll use it on. For commoners, a slight amount can deliver a very good effect, much better than sleeping pills! For superpowered people, it won't be that effective, unless you increase the amount!"
Lu Tong raised the bottle and said, "Is it effective on higher-leveled people? How long will the efficacy last?"
"It's effective on all superpowered people at or under level-seven! Even level-seven people will lose consciousness for about ten minutes after drinking this. This span of time will be longer if your target is at a lower level. Whom are you gonna use it on?" Li Honglin first explained about the efficacy, then couldn't help but ask.
Lu Tong shook his head and said, "It's none of your business.
Then, he handed his credit stamps to Li Honglin before turning and leaving.
After arriving at the base, they weren't in as close contact as they were before. They would only go to each other when they needed help.
Holding the drug, Lu Tong thought of the woman that he ran into earlier. She had changed so much that he nearly failed to recognize her.
Her hair were short; she was wearing a dirty training suit and a pair of combat boots. A strong vibe radiated from her entire body. She was thoroughly different from before, when her hair were long, her dresses were always clean, and her shoes always had high and thin heels.
Lu Tong was a little surprised by how different Lin Wenwen was now. However, what he cared more was about her relationship with Yuan Tianxing.
The others might not know how Lin Wenwen felt about Yuan Tianxing, but he did. He had paid a lot of attention to Yuan Tianxing himself as well. After all, Yuan Tianxing was handsome, young, and powerful.
In Lu Tong's eyes, Lin Wenwen was a stupid woman. Since she liked Yuan Tianxing so much, why didn't she make a move? What was the point of supporting him constantly with her feelings buried in her heart?
Lu Tong didn't leave Hades Base with Duan Juan and her people because he didn't know that Yuan Tianxing was in the new base at that time. As he learned about that, he tried very hard to encourage Wang Jian, Li Honglin, Chen Hao, and some other people to give up on the hopeless Hades Base.
If he wanted Yuan Tianxing, he needed to have a plan.
This new base might develop well, and Yuan Tianxing might have a chance to become a Chief. Lu Tong believed that he would never need to worry about his life again if he and Yuan Tianxing got together.
Therefore, he paid Li Honglin with his credits and asked the latter to get the drug for him.
In All Being Base, credit was the most precious thing. People were allowed to purchase anything or make any kind of deal with their credits.
The credit stamps were printed and released by the administrative bureau of the base, marked by the special stamp. No one was able to fake the stamp.
On his way back to where he lived, Lu Tong suffered heartburn over his credits. However, that heartburn faded when he started to imagine his life with Yuan Tianxing.
Tomorrow, Yuan Tianxing would go to the construction site. During the past few days, Lu Tong had figured out the former's schedule. He learned that the other had been focusing on the work whole-heartedly. Normally, he would either be working in his office or at the construction site, supervising the construction work. He rarely returned to his dorm. He ate and slept in his office, and only went back to his dorm when he needed a shower.
He would have a chance to get close to Yuan Tianxing at the construction site.
...
In Huaxia Base, it was already dark. Liu Zhinan had split the earth and stopped the zombie crowd from approaching the base. Therefore, people had some time to rest.
In the thunder zone, the sky was dark, yet the glow of the lightning could still be seen.
The thunders hadn't stopped rumbling, and the lightning was still falling from the dark clouds, a lot less intense than before though. The location of the thunder zone had already changed.
The thunderclouds in the sky had been following Mo Yan. Wherever Mo Yan and the three men went, the thunderclouds would be there as well; wherever the thunderclouds were, the ground would be covered in ruins.
Bang!
A figure landed on an old car, stirring up fire sparks and clouds of smoke. He nimbly got up on all fours and shook his body, then raised his head and bared his teeth while uttered a raging roar.
Before the roar ended, he thrust his rear legs against the ground and turned into a shred of shadow, darting out swiftly.
"What on earth is this zombie made from? Can he ever break?" Gao Haoyun was wearing a ferocious look as well. His face looked as twisted as the zombie emperor's, but without those scary purple veins.
"Oi, you didn't get scratched, did you? Why do I feel that your vibe is a little strange?" The smile on Wu Chengyue's face was gone at that moment. His handsome face was wearing a slight frown. He had one hand raised to control the lightning power in the thunderclouds, and the other hand releasing his own power to locate Mo Yan. Wherever he pointed at, thigh-sized lightning bolts fell from the sky.
"The zombie emperor has lightning power too. Your lightning can barely hurt him, " said Si Kongchen with a deep voice. Then, he suddenly moved backward and threw out a huge, scorching fireball.
Bang! Mo Yan quickly turned his body and dodged the fireball. The fireball brushed across his body and landed on the wall behind him.
Half of that broken building was immediately torn down, brick pieces flying everywhere.
The three of them had spent half a day fighting against Mo Yan, so none of them was in a good shape now. Wu Chengyue's clothing maintained a relatively good condition, and Si Kongchen looked slightly worse than he did. Unlike them, Gao Haoyun, who was Mo Yan's target the whole time, had suffered some bad injuries. He looked miserable, as his clothes were burned and his face was covered with dust.
He clenched his teeth, while the darkness of the night covered his pale face."No!" He answered Wu Chengyue's question with a weak voice.
However, he wasn't confident when he said that word.
After all, he had an open wound caused by Mo Yan's claw!
