Huaxia Base had been under zombie attack for about a month, yet the anti-zombie drug was still not in use.
"That might be one of Chief Si's saved weapons, " said Lan Lu with a grin.
"You're right. We're just here to join the party, " said Wu Chengyue smilingly, "Perhaps, Chief Si wants to kill the zombie emperor before using the drug."
Before the massive zombie attack stopped, using the drug would be a waste. After all, more zombies had been gathering toward the base constantly.
"See, that's why I said that Chief Si doesn't seem anxious about the current situation, " Lan Lu looked at the small clear area down the fence wall with a smile.
Earlier, Si Kongchen cleared that area with his fire dragons. As he left, his fire dragons followed him away. After that, some of the chairmen joined the fight, and some pretended to fight. After all, they didn't want the people from other bases to laugh at them.
"Why did you come here so soon then? Wouldn't it be better for you to show up when he ran out of weapons?" Wu Chengyue said to Lan Lu with a cold smile.
Lan Lu glanced at him, then abruptly turned to Lin Qiao and responded with a meaningful smile, "Helping Si Kongchen is, of course, not my only purpose."
Wu Chengyue blinked and asked with a smile, "Are you interested in her too? Are you gonna compete with me?"
"Yeah, I am, " Lan Lu turned to Wu Chengyue with a wicked grin and said, "I am interested in her."
He was interested in her indeed. He even wanted to capture her, bring her back to his base, then cut her open to see exactly how she was different from the other zombies.
Noticing the way Lan Lu stared at Lin Qiao with excitement, Wu Chengyue began considering launching another thunder strike and killing him.
How dare that man try to steal from him right in front of him! No, that wouldn't be right. She didn't belong to her yet.
He couldn't tell when he started to see Lin Qiao as his. He was surprised that she caught so much attention when she showed up in front of the group of base leaders. He was aware of how pretty she was, but he thought that her beauty would surprise those powerful men a little bit at the most.
He had no idea that because he was with Ling Ling all the time, he hadn't really been paying attention to the females surrounding him. The other base leaders weren't as abstinent as he was.
For the high-positioned men, the women who wanted to be with them were surely young and pretty. During the past years, those men already had enough of those kinds of women who brought themselves to them. A good-looking woman like Lin Qiao, who stood equally high as themselves and looked inaccessible, could easily arouse their interests.
The more inaccessible she looked, the tastier they believed she would be. The desire of conquering made them excited.
The interest that Lan Lu had toward Lin Qiao made Wu Chengyue think that he was attracted by Lin Qiao's beauty as well.
Lin Qiao surely had sensed the obvious look in Lan Lu's eyes too, so she flashed up to him.
"Is this the leader of your base?" She asked Lei Cheng whom she had seen before.
The expressionless Lei Cheng didn't expect her to ask him that question instead of Lan Lu himself. He shook his head and responded, "No. Our Chief never leaves the base. This is a chairman of our board."
As she came closer, Lan Lu fixed his eyes on Lin Qiao's body, seeming to study her.
He had heard about her from Lei Cheng and the others before. She looked really like a human being. Green Mountain Base had zombie residents as well, and zombies could always sense their own kind. If it weren't for that reason, he wouldn't believe that the young and pretty Chief lady was actually a zombie.
Lin Qiao didn't come over to talk to Lan Lu. Instead, she said to Huaxia Base people, "You seem to have a lot of saved weapons. So, I assume you don't need our help now. I'll leave you guys to handle the situation yourselves then. If you need me, just tell her."
She left Shen Yujen on the wall top, then leaped off the wall and headed into the base.
No one would stop her from leaving. People were aware that they weren't allowed to go anywhere in other people's bases. As a base leader, Lin Qiao surely wouldn't touch the bottom line of Huaxia people.
However, even if no one tried to stop Lin Qiao, quite some people had been keeping an eye on her.
Liu Zhinan felt that something was not right with Hu Zhiyong's death. If the thunder strike that brought him down was an accident, where did that black fire come from?
That powerful black fire reminded people of Netherworld Fire from Hades Base. However, she had died last year, so it could not be her.
Liu Zhinan suspected that someone else possessed the same kind of power as she did.
She didn't suspect Lin Qiao because what she did to Hu Zhiyong earlier showed that she had poison power instead of fire power. Yet, it didn't mean that she had nothing to do with that accident. She might have sent someone else to launch that attack from the dark.
Liu Zhinan sent his people after Lin Qiao once she left the fence wall, but she threw them off her tail by making a simple turn.
Liu Zhinan's people followed behind her and saw her turn into an alley. However, when they got there, she was gone.
Lin Qiao turned invisible, then quickly headed toward Lin Kui. Noticing the latter run about the entire base, she figured that he might have failed to find the target.
Soon, she found Lin Kui and the other two zombies and she showed her face. Seeing her, the three moved toward her immediately.
"You didn't find her, did you?" Lin Qiao looked at Lin Kui and asked.
Lin Kui's ears and tail had popped out. His long tail was tagging behind his body, making him seem anxious.
"No. Her place has been empty for about half a year, " Lin Kui shook his head and said grimly.
He was worried that something bad might have happened to his sister, Lin Jing, while he was caught. However, she seemed to have packed her belongings before leaving the flat. So, he told himself that she might have moved somewhere else.
He was still worried, though. His sister was a commoner, and not a superpowered one. She worked as a maid in the base to earn food and a place to live.
Lin Kui had been protecting her secretly. Therefore, the people who coveted her had all disappeared. Over time, no one dared to offend her anymore.
People felt that some mysterious, powerful people had been protecting her secretly. In order to not disappear for no reason, those people gave up on their indecent ideas.
