Tongtong looked at the uncle who was holding him. He didn't know Xie Dong well, but he did know who he was. He remembered that he was taken away by the man who showed up a lot recently. He didn't like that man. That man yelled at him and threw him to the ground, threatening to beat him once he cried.
At last, the man locked him up in a small and dark room. He was so afraid, but he could only cry with a very low voice. His limbs were tied up and his mouth was taped, so he couldn't cry out loud.
When he was about to fall asleep, the door was suddenly opened. Then, he saw another man come in and lift him from the ground.
"I'm taking you to your Mom. Don't be afraid, " Xie Dong put an arm under Tongtong's butt and held the boy before his chest. Tongtong put an arm around Xie Dong's neck and wiped his tears with the other hand. On hearing Xie Dong's words, he nodded quietly.
Not long after they left, Huo Antong returned to the basement where he kept Tongtong. Seeing the door wide open, his heart missed a beat. He quickly ran downstairs and found that the child was gone.
Bang! He angrily punched the door.
The boy was gone. He had nothing in his hands! He wouldn't get the zombie nuclei!
He took a deep breath, then looked at the basement grimly. ?'Perhaps that woman still thinks that I have her son. As long as she brings the nuclei here, I'll be able to make her give them to me, '?he thought.
He had no idea that Liu Jun had restrained her vibe and followed him to the basement.
Liu Jun didn't go into the basement but stayed on the outside. She sensed her son's scent from the basement, but the source of that scent was no longer there. She sniffed around, then quickly sensed a familiar vibe.
Xie Dong? What was he doing there? His vibe was mixed together with the scent of her son. They were moving toward the other side of the base.
Sensing her son's scent, Liu Jun had her eyes glowing as she guessed out something and quickly moved in that direction.
Abruptly, Xie Dong stopped walking and turned to look back, seemingly waiting for someone.
Soon, Liu Jun showed up.
"Mommy!" At the sight of his mother, the scared little boy burst in happy shouts. Meanwhile, he turned his body and leaned forward as he raised both arms toward Liu Jun.
"Tongtong! Are you alright? Are you hurt? Did that bad guy hurt you?" Liu Jun rushed up and took Tongtong over from Xie Dong, then checked the boy's entire body to see if he was harmed.
"Mom! That guy was awful!" Tongtong pouted grumpily as he put his arms around Liu Jun's neck.
"I've checked him just now. He's slightly injured. I think that guy kicked or hit him, " Xie Dong said. His voice was hoarse, but not too deep."I was passing by and sensed Tongtong's scent, but I thought he shouldn't be there. So, I followed his scent and found him. He was kept in a basement, tied up."
"Thank you, Xie Dong!" Liu Jun looked at Xie Dong gratefully. Finally, she could stop worrying.
"Was it Huo Antong?" Xie Dong turned and asked while heading back. He and his people had caught everyone related to Liu Wan's plan, except for Huo Antong. That man might have hidden somewhere.
So, Xie Dong easily figured out who had kidnapped Tongtong. Huo Antong was in close contact with Liu Jun earlier after all.
"He asked me for three level-five zombie nuclei, " Liu Jun followed behind him and explained with simple words.
Xie Dong nodded and understood her meaning. Huo Antong was putting up his last struggle. He wasn't willing to leave without getting anything. He still wanted to gain something.
Xie Dong didn't say anything else. Huo Antong was never a good guy, but he didn't expect the man to be awful enough to hurt a four-year-old boy.
"Tongtong, have you thanked Uncle Xie yet? Uncle Xie saved your life. You need to remember that. Do you understand me?" Liu Jun said to Tongtong.
Xie Dong looked at her and then at Tongtong. Tongtong turned to Xie Dong and said with clear pronunciation, "Thank you, Uncle Xie!"
Xie Dong nodded slightly, then rubbed Tongtong's head. A trace of warmth could be detected from his eyes.
After thanking Xie Dong, Tongtong buried his head in his mother's neck again. He was a little shy, but he didn't show repulsion toward Xie Dong.
"You and Tongtong wait here, " said Xie Dong then returned to the basement and caught Huo Antong's smell. After that, Xie Dong quickly moved in another direction.
Huo Antong had left the basement and sneakily moved to another hiding spot of his.
Currently, a lot of empty buildings could be found in All Beings Base. Not every area had residents yet, because the base was still underpopulated. So, Huo Antong easily found another empty building and hid in there.
Xie Dong followed Huo Antong's smell to that four-story building and landed on the roof. His vibe was completely restrained by habit. He also did that to avoid alarming the other.
Huo Antong was at level-four, so he wasn't able to sense a zombie king who had his vibe restrained. As he was sitting on the floor of the innermost room on the third floor, a figure suddenly showed up by the door.
Huo Antong automatically turned and attempted to run out of the only window in the room. He had no time to look carefully at the man at the door. The man showed up so close to him without letting him sense anything, meaning that he was stronger than him.
Therefore, he immediately chose to run.
However, the mysterious man was faster than him. Before he could run up to the window, the man had flashed across the air and showed up before the window, throwing a kick at him.
Bang! Huo Antong was kicked back to where he was and thudded against the wall.
Both his stomach and his back suffered a heavy strike, bringing him a severe pain. He slid off the wall and fell to the ground, without being able to move again.
"You shouldn't have hurt a boy, " Xie Dong looked at Huo Antong and said, his face filled with disgust. After saying that, he popped his claws and scratched Huo Antong.
The virus went into Huo Antong's body in no time, which provided Xie Dong with a reason to kill him.
