Early in the morning, a few heavily armed combat vehicles were parked in the underground parking lot in a building that was located six miles away from Sea City Base's safe zone. Some people were moving inside the building.
No zombies could be seen around the building. The area hundred meters around the building was zombie-free, as if something had driven all the zombies away.
They got the anti-zombie drug from the Green Mountain Base, which was exactly the kind of drug that Lei Cheng offered Lin Qiao last time.
"Are we ready?" A level-six man among the group of people said to the dozen squad leaders.
"We're ready!" The others responded in one voice.
"We can do it at any time, " one of them added.
The level-six man nodded and glanced at his watch, then immediately gave his order, "Good! Move, now!"
"Yes, sir!" The others responded, then quickly dismissed to gather their teams and jump into action.
One group of people were wearing protective clothing that sealed their scents and vibes, holding around ten commoners, whose limbs were tied up. They were young and strong, but their faces were pale and eyes unfocused.
They separated those commoners and poured some drug into their mouths, then cut their skin with daggers and let them bleed. After that, they threw those people out and tied them on the vehicles.
"Ah..." Those people who were covered in wounds burst into screams. Their lusterless eyes showed anger and fear, and their faces were twisted.
The scent of fresh blood instantly spread from their bodies. The drug might have emphasized the scent of their blood and allowed it to spread to further areas.
"Roar..." Soon, the zombies nearby sensed that blood scent.
Those people drove their vehicles slowly toward the zombie crowd, dragging those injured commoners behind the vehicles and attracting the zombies nearby.
Those commoners were bleeding, and the approaching zombies scared them and made them want to run. So, being led by the vehicles, they kept running until they bled out. They were brought into the vehicles after passing out. However, those people didn't try saving them, but tied them on the tails of the vehicles and cut deeper into their skin to lure the zombies.
"Roar..." More and more zombies followed behind those vehicles, and a small scale massive zombie crowd was soon formed.
On the other side, Wu Chengyue's men had been watching those people. A man dropped the telescope and said through clenched teeth, "What are they doing! How can they do something like this! So brutal!"
Another man responded expressionlessly, "I think they're trying to gather zombies. They're leading those zombies to our base."
"Yes. They can't get into our base. I guess they're trying to bring about some disorder in our base and then take the opportunity to break in. Bring the news back to the base now."
"I'm going now!"
Wu Chengyue received the message as his car secretly drove out of the base. The smile on his face grew bigger, yet no actual smile was detected from his eyes. Those eyes of his were even glowing with a cold light.
"I get it. Go and tell Licheng to bring the message to the other two Chiefs. Tell them not to worry about the people out here, but keep an eye on the ones inside. Those people might make a move today too. Tell Xiao Yunlong to be careful, " he said with a cold smile.
"Yes, sir!" His subordinate quickly headed back to the base to deliver the message.
Lin Qiao stood on the car roof and sensed the faint blood scent from the air. Something contained in that scent made her slightly excited, but she didn't know what it was.
She had roughly guessed out what was happening. Those people were gathering a zombie crowd by using bleeding human beings. She believed that they planned to bring those zombies to the front gate of Sea City Base. That would create them an opportunity to get into the base. Even if they still couldn't break in, the people who were already in the base would have a chance to do what they wanted.
Wu Chengyue's car quickly left the safe zone and then stopped. Soon, one of his subordinates came to report to him.
"They have gathered the zombies from over ten directions. Over ten-thousand zombies have been gathered together so far."
"Are they all in those cars?" Wu Chengyue asked.
"Yes, " the man responded.
"Alright, " Wu Chengyue nodded and said, "Go back and keep watching them."
"Yes, sir!"
Lin Qiao planned to merely watch instead of taking a part in the operation. Wu Chengyue carried Wu Yueling out of the car, then looked at the car roof and said, "Please take care of Ling Ling."
Lin Qiao gently leaped off the car and took Ling Ling over from him.
Wu Chengyue's subordinate and the driver were utterly confused when they saw him talking to the air. Then, they saw Ling Ling float away from his arms and disappear into thin air...
They wondered if they were having hallucinations.
Lin Qiao took Wu Yueling over, then called Viney. After that, she felt that the weight in her hands was gone as Wu Yueling disappeared from her arms.
In Sea City Base, Xiao Yunlong, Zou Shihui, Wei Haichao, and the others were having another meeting in the conference room after 9 am.
The people from Heilong Base had already left. This time, only the people from Huaxia Base, Sky Fire Base, and Mongols Base were on the scene.
"We will not change our terms. If you really can't accept them, I'm afraid that we'll have to suspend our deal, " Xiao Yunlong said to the guests with a faint smile.
Wei Haichao was a little surprised to hear that. He popped his eyes and said, "Suspend? Are you suspending this deal with our Huaxia Base?"
Huaxia Base had been producing a series of highly advanced devices that Sea City Base could not develop on its own. For that reason, Huaxia Base charged Sea City Base very high prices every time for them. Sea City Base had no other choices but to pay the high prices for those technological products they needed.
The scientific group in Sea City Base wasn't as capable as that in Huaxia Base after all.
"No, not this deal. We're suspending all deals." Xiao Yunlong shook his head and answered Wei Haichao's question.
Before, Sea City Base people let Huaxia Base take advantage of them because they didn't have the technologies that they needed. However, their own scientific projects had been making progress the whole time, and their researchers had been growing more and more capable. Currently, even though there was still a great difference between Sea City Base and Huaxia Base in terms of technology, Sea City Base was already able to fulfill its own needs. Therefore, they didn't need to spend a huge amount of food to purchase technological products from Huaxia Base anymore. They were able to create things themselves now.
During the past two years, they had recruited quite a lot of scientific and technological talents from Huaxia Base. Sea City Base no longer needed the products from the other, but they now needed the food from the former.
