Lin Qiao landed on the ground and took out a car from her space, then sat into the driver's seat, driving toward the southern entrance of the base. In fact, she was following behind Sun Lunan and his people.
After a few minutes of driving, the motorcade arrived at the isolation area and slowly drove through before stopping in front of the South Gate. Typically, people needed to pass the virus scan to enter a base. However, no such devices were seen at the gate of All Beings Base.
"Stay here, don't move!" A soldier at the gate said loudly. Next, Sun Lunan and his people saw a group of soldiers in camouflage suits come out of the entrance, all wearing hats and sunglasses. Their faces weren't clearly visible.
The group of soldiers split up and walked around each vehicle, then returned to the gate and nodded at the soldiers at the gate, signaling for them to let those people in before leaving.
"Alright, you can come in. Follow me!" The squad leader at the gate nodded, then turned and said to Sun Lunan and his people.
Sun Lunan and his people looked at each other with confusion.
Could they go in just like that? No scan was needed?
"Don't you need to scan us for the virus?" Sun Lunan couldn't help but get off his car, walk to the squad leader, and ask. At the same time, he thought of other possibilities. If the base didn't scan people for the virus, how could they know if the virus was brought into the base by someone? It wasn't safe, was it?
"We had you scanned. Those people with sunglasses scanned you just now." The squad leader grinned. All newcomers asked the same question.
Sun Lunan was even more confused. Those people didn't do anything but walk around their vehicles. How could they know if they carried the virus or not?
The squad leader seemed to guess out Sun Lunan's question. He smiled and said, "Yes, if any of you carried the virus, they'd know. Come on, many of your people are injured badly. Don't worry, our base is very safe."
The squad leader urged him kindly.
As the squad leader tried to hasten him, Sun Lunan didn't dare to believe him. However, helping the injured people was more important. As for the other things, they could take their time to find out the truth. If the base was really not safe, they could always leave.
The people on the trucks didn't get off, and the trucks drove straight into the gate.
Lin Qiao's car was the last to be seen.
Lin Qiao didn't get off the car, but drove into the base expressionlessly. The zombie soldiers who came over to check those people earlier had, of course, sensed her presence. They recognized her vibe. However, as she didn't give any special order, they stuck with their job and didn't do anything else.
Lin Qiao drove in and sensed the scents from the base. Many of those scents were strange to her. It seemed that some new people had joined the base while she wasn't there.
As Lin Qiao entered the base, many people in the base stopped doing their work and turned to the southern entrance with confusion. Yuan Tianxing looked at Chen Yuting and asked him uncertainly, "Have you sensed Chief's vibe?"
Chen Yuting nodded, looking as confused as he was."I have... Why is she coming back from the outside? Hasn't she been in the base the whole time? When did she leave? Don't you know about that? I thought you'd know..."
Yuan Tianxing was a Deputy Chief. Even if the Chief needed to leave the base for some secret task, she would at least tell Yuan Tianxing before leaving. However, judging by the confused look on Yuan Tianxing's face, he didn't know.
In Base Number Two, Yun Meng, Qiu Lili, Lin Kui and some others showed up in Lin Qiao's office. Lin Qiao walked in and found that her office was already full.
"You guys are fast... Ah, Lin Kui, you're back! Have you found your sister yet?" Lin Qiao calmly greeted the group of zombies.
Lin Kui didn't say anything but nodded. He had no strong feelings to the base before he brought Lin Jing back. However, after that, he started to feel responsible for the base. At least, he felt that he now belonged to it.
His sister was living in the base now. Before, he could not stay by her side and protect her aboveboard. But, he was allowed to do that in the All Being Base. He didn't need to hide anymore, neither worry about being caught for experiments again.
To give Lin Jing a place to live, to stay with her, and take care of her, Lin Kui was surely willing to protect that new base.
"Good, congratulations!" Lin Qiao nodded at him and said. This time, Lin Kui smiled at Lin Qiao. The sincere smile cast away the sullenness on his face.
"Why were you outside? When did you leave? Why didn't we feel anything?" Yun Meng looked at Lin Qiao confusedly. She couldn't feel the strangeness of Lin Qiao's body, or that her power was gone.
In the eyes of all the zombies in her office, she still gave out a level-seven vibe that strongly suppressed their own vibes.
Lin Qiao walked behind her desk and sat down, where files had piled up. She picked up a file and opened it as she said, "Oh, there was a small accident, so I got out. Tell me what happened in the base while I wasn't here."
"Is your body okay? You didn't seem fine before, " Qiu Lili looked at her and asked with concern.
"I'm fine now, " Lin Qiao smiled at her and comforted her.
Lin Qiao had no idea what Viney was doing inside her body. However, during the past few days, she didn't sense any strong discomfort. When her energy was running low, Viney always gave Lin Qiao a hint to let her know that she needed more energy.
Yun Meng also observed Lin Qiao and found her face look as same as usual, and so did her vibe. After that, she started talking about what happened in the past month.
"Everything has been fine, except that quite some new people joined our base recently. Some of them are having different thoughts. They like our base, and want to have it for their own."
While speaking, Yun Meng gave a sneer. After telling Lin Qiao about the intention and current moves of Zuo Chen and his people, she continued, "If we didn't want to slap them on the faces, I'd throw them directly out of the base."
Hearing that, Lin Qiao blinked and smiled, "You can't do that. We have no reason to kick them out. Doing that would be bad for our reputation. People might not want to join us if we did that. We need evidence, so that we can throw them out in a perfect way."
That was exactly why Yuan Tianxing let the few girls play those people's game.
