"You... You!" Liu Wan was so angry that he didn't even know what to say. No matter what he said at the moment, nothing would possibly change. His plan had been exposed, and he didn't have a chance to run.
"We... We didn't do anything to... harm the base, did we? You're the leader of the base. Won't it be too cruel for you to kill us all?" The pale-faced spirit-powered man talked abruptly.
At that moment, his face was ghastly pale, covered in sweat. His lips were bluish, and a pair of dark circles had emerged under his eyes. Liu Wan and the other man had no spare attention for him, so they didn't notice the strange look on his face.
Hearing his words, Liu Wan instantly had his eyes glowing."Yeah! He's right!" He yelled at Lin Qiao, "Even if we had a bad intention toward you at first, we didn't do anything to hurt your base. How can you kill us!"
Lin Qiao snorted with laughter and then said, "You made an attempt but failed. Doesn't that count? Should I wait until you have turned my base into yours? Besides, do you think that we're still in the peaceful world before the apocalypse? We don't follow laws or moral principles or anything like that now... At present... power is the only rule of the world."
After saying that, she abruptly raised an arm and gave out her orders, "Bowow, go bite him! Yeah, bite that guy! Black, go and get that one! Yes, that one! Eh... the last one here... Mushroom, stop eating that one, come here and eat this one! He's still alive!"
Duan Juan and the others watched Lin Qiao direct her three pets to attack the three people. Even the mushroom who was sucking blood from dead bodies received an order too.
The mushroom was enjoying its meal, so it made no response to Lin Qiao.
'Damn... This mushroom doesn't listen to me! Should I stew it together with a chicken back in the base??' Lin Qiao said to herself.
"Ah... Don't kill me!" The level-three man burst in screams, then turned and ran.
The mushroom gave a start as it had detected a dangerous vibe from Lin Qiao. Next, it quickly dropped the dead body, raised its roots, and chased after the level-three man.
In the mushroom's eyes, the man was running very slowly. In the very next moment, it leaped high and jumped upon the man. Its roots covered the man's body and drilled into the earth before they started growing. From its mushroom head, a few straws quickly reached out and sank into the man's body.
"Ahhhh!" Shrill screams could be heard immediately as blood and pasted flesh were sucked into those straws. A short while later, the mushroom pulled its roots out of the ground, supported its body with a few thick roots and left, leaving a drained corpse on the ground.
Liu Wan was a level-six man. He created earth walls, earth thorns, and cracked the earth surrounding him to keep Bowwow from causing actual harm to him.
The spirit-powered man was physically weak. Normally, he would launch attacks with his spirit power. However, as the moment, he felt so cold and his mind was blurred long ago. He wasn't able to launch any effective attacks anymore, not to mention the fact that he was only at level-five. His power could barely hurt a level-six mutated beast even if it didn't grow weaker.
Therefore, he didn't plan to fight, but run!
But, as a level-six mutated beast, how could Black possibly let him run?
The man-made a few steps backward, but all of a sudden, a dark figure flashed across his eyes. In the next moment, a huge snakehead descended from the air and whooshed up to his face, looking straight at him in the eyes.
Those cold, rhombic, emotionless eyes and the long, fork-tongue that was sticking out of the flat snake mouth gave out a life-threatening vibe that shrouded the man.
He popped his eyes and knelt to the ground, staring at the gigantic black snake which was less than two meters away from him. All his strength was gone, probably because he had mentally collapsed, or because the virus had attacked.
Black was not in the mood of playing a game. He spent two seconds gazing at the man, then suddenly opened his mouth wide while baring his sharp fangs and gave the man a bite.
Lin Qiao and her people coldly looked at Liu Wan, who fought for a couple of minutes under Bowwow's attack. After that, Bowwow shattered an earth wall and pressed him down to the ground.
The last thing Liu Wan saw was a widely opened mouth with sharp teeth, biting at his face.
"Pah!" Bowwow was warned by Lin Qiao earlier, so, he didn't swallow Liu Wan's head this time. Instead, he swung his head and spat out the half head that he bit off, also letting out a few mouthfuls of blood mixed with his saliva.
Of course, it wasn't his blood.
"Alright, let's go home, " Lin Qiao clapped her hands and nimbly leaped off the streetlight with a relaxed look on her face, as if she had just completed an important mission. She conveniently swung an arm and brought out an armed off-road car from her space, then sat into the backseat.
She thought Duan Juan and Shen Yujen would take the driver's seat and the front seat as always, but once she sat into the car, the door beside her was opened, and then Wu Chengyue got in.
Lin Qiao paused briefly with surprise, then looked outside the window and found Duan Juan being dragged away by Xiao Licheng. Duan Juan had her eyes on Lin Qiao the whole time, but didn't hesitate to walk away together with Xiao Licheng.
Shen Yujen sat on the driver's seat and started the car, pretending not to know anything.
Lin Qiao didn't know what to say. She tried to stay cool, but failed."Chief Wu, your car is over there!" She couldn't help but glare at Wu Chengyue, who was already sitting by her side and said to him.
After saying that, she clenched her teeth and pointed at the car that parked not far away. Duan Juan was being dragged into that car by Xiao Licheng.
With a smile, Wu Chengyue looked at her and said, "I know. Licheng seems to be into Duan Juan. Why don't we give them some space alone?"
Lin Qiao didn't know what to say.
'Damn! That's ridiculous! It's you who are with some indecent intentions! How can you make him take the blame!'
Xiao Licheng had no idea what Wu Chengyue said about him. Obviously, he dragged Duan Juan to his har to create a chance for Wu Chengyue. If he heard what the latter said, he might send Duan Juan straight to her car.
Shen Yujen glanced at Xiao Licheng's car from the rearview mirror with pity. Based on what she knew about Chief Wu, he would not stop telling that lie since he had already told it once. Xiao Licheng should better get ready to be sold by his boss!
She knew that she should not laugh, yet she still narrowed her eyes and twitched her lips corners. It took her a great effort not to laugh out loud.
'Poor boy! Hahaha...?'she thought.
In the other car, Xiao Licheng sensed a sudden coldness, so he looked around with confusion. The sky was still cloudy, and the air was highly moist. It was a little chilly indeed.
