Chapter 1100: The Small Basement

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Looking at the man, Lin Qiao wore a weird look on her face.

Normally, the men who looked like him always gave out an unpleasant smell. He lived in such a basement without any airflow. The smell wouldn’t even spread and fade.

However, the scent that bearded man, whose hair were messy and long enough to cover his eyes, gave out was actually refreshing.

Refreshing?

“Please come in.” The man was surprised and confused to see Lin Qiao, but still let her in politely.

After walking in, Lin Qiao couldn’t help but say to him, “This place is so small…”

The man looked outside. As no suspicious people were found, he closed the door and responded to her helplessly, “The place is small, but it’s secret enough.”

Thankfully, there was only a single bed in the room. If the bed were any bigger, the two of them wouldn’t be able to move at all. A double couch was also placed in the room.

Lin Qiao stood face and face with the man. She looked at him up and down, then couldn’t help but continue, “You’re so short…”

The one-hundred and sixty-eight centimeters tall man looked at Lin Qiao, who was about two centimeters taller than him, and stayed expressionless. He was so not happy, but he told himself to stay calm and control his temper.

“Please have a seat! Can I ask you a question?” The man took a deep breath and pointed at the couch, then walked to a corner and took out a glass and a kettle, pouring a glass of water.

“Yes, please,” Lin Qiao nodded at him as she took over the glass of water from his hand. She knew what he was going to ask, because she could read his mind clearly.

The man handed her the water, then sat back into his chair and leaned against the chair back as he asked her, “Who gave you my location?”

While speaking, he was also observing Lin Qiao. The woman in a combat suit had a pretty face and a perfect body. Her eyes wore a bland look, but also contained a sharpness. She should have been restraining her vibe on purpose.

Based on what he knew, the woman was definitely not from Sky Fire Base.

Lin Qiao leaned against the back of the couch and folded her legs as she smiled at the man with composure, then responded, “Is that important to you? You make deals. I don’t think you care how your clients found you. Am I right?”

“I need to know if you are a client or not.” The man looked at her calmly. Under his hair, his eyes showed a coldness.

Lin Qiao was still smiling. “I’m afraid you’re not gonna be able to make any deal with this attitude.”

The man looked at her silently.

“You are an independent intelligence seller, and you’re hiding in this place which even Li Zhengye and his army don’t know about. So, I assume you should know that he’s been doing a zombie experiment.” Lin Qiao said to the man as he stayed silent.

The man kept looking at her while a dim beam of light flashed across his eyes. He was sure that the woman didn’t possess spirit power, because the look in her eyes was too cold and firm. Spirit power possessors had unfocused and mysterious eyes, unlike her.

However, the woman had been trying to lure him into telling her what she wanted to hear with her words. Did she want to know about the zombie experiment? Judging by her words, she was obviously against Li Zhengye.

“Do you want to know where the experiment is taking place?” The man finally asked her a question. He asked that question, meaning that he had already accepted Lin Qiao’s request.

Lin Qiao shook her head and said, “Oh, no. What I want to know is everything about Long Hair. Can you tell me about him?”

The man’s pupils instantly shrank. He tightened his entire body as he looked at her alertly and said, “How do you know about him?”

Lin Qiao looked at him from head to toe. The thoughts in his head surprised her. “Why are you so nervous?” she said, “You’re the only one who knows about him, aren’t you? After all, you two used to know each other.”

The man immediately stood up as he stared straight at Lin Qiao and said, “How did you know? No one in this base knows that… No, no one in this world should know about that. Who the hell are you?”

Lin Qiao stayed quiet as she curved her lips in a small smile. She had already learned about the complicated relationship between the man and Long Hair.

They used to be like brothers. Before the apocalypse, one of them betrayed the other, then they both tried to kill each other. At last, one of them become a robber and the other became an intelligence dealer who lived a secret life in the base.

Long Hair worked with Li Zhengye because he wanted to kill the intelligence dealer. But still, he failed to find him from Sky Fire Base. The messy-haired man had been gathering information about Long Hair while escaping his pursuit. He suffered all the bitterness because he was waiting for an opportunity to give Long Hair a lethal strike someday.

How interesting!

“I’ve told you not to be so nervous. I, of course, know about it. You told me yourself. I’m not a spirit-power possessor, but my power is special. I can hear your thoughts,” Lin Qiao said to him smilingly.

“You!” On hearing that, the man froze. He clenched his fists so tight that his veins even bulged from under his skin. He tried so hard to keep himself from launching an attack.

“What? You’re reacting weirdly… Aren’t you two enemies? I want to kill him, so you should be on my side,” Lin Qiao kept stimulating him.

The man clenched his teeth as his eyes were filled with a cold intent of killing. He finally took a deep breath and said, “He’s not so easy to kill.”

‘Only I can kill him! Only I can stab a knife into his heart! No one else is allowed to touch him!’

Lin Qiao looked at him and said with a meaningful tone, “You really hate him. Is it because he betrayed you?”

The man looked at Lin Qiao quietly and tried his best to stop himself from thinking. He didn’t forget the woman say that she had a special power that allowed her to hear his thoughts. He chose to believe that.

Seeing the stubborn look in his eyes, Lin Qiao shrugged and said, “Alright, alright, I won’t kill him, but I need to find him. He messed with me first. If I don’t deal with him, I’d be in trouble. Since you want to kill him yourself, why don’t we work together? You give me the information, and I’ll bring him under control. What do you think?”

She could tell that the short, eagle-eyed man had an unusual feeling toward Long Hair.

Hatred? Grievance?

His hatred toward Long Hair might be what had been supporting him all this long. Without it, he might have died already.

“You bring him under control? What power do you have to do that? He has his own secret experimental base and an army of robbers. He has plenty of weapons. He himself is a breath away from level-eight. How are you, a woman, supposed to deal with him?” The man forced himself to calm down and then said to Lin Qiao coldly.

Chapter 1101: The Chaos in Sky Fire Base

Lin Qiao looked at him and said, “It’s okay that you don’t believe me. I have already gotten what I want to know from your mind. As your payback, I’ll give him to you when I have caught him. Don’t worry, I won’t kill him.”

While the man was talking, Lin Qiao had already learned enough about Long Hair from his mind.

His name was Yan Huiguang, and he used to be a doctor. After the apocalypse, he attained a superpower and started to think in abnormal ways.

Hearing what she said, the man was stunned slightly. “Are you re-really going to take action against him? Are you sure you can do that?”

Lin Qiao nodded and said, “He knows too much. Only a dead man can stay silent forever. I am confident. Just wait and see.”

Having finished talking, she stood up and put the glass of untouched water on the desk. After that, she took out a level-six zombie nucleus and put it on the desk too. Next, she turned and left.

After all, she took the information from the man’s mind without his permission. For the man, Yan Huiguang was an important person. Therefore, she gave the man a level-six nucleus as his compensation.

The man stayed silent as he watched Lin Qiao leave. Only after she closed the door did he turn his eyes to the zombie nucleus.

Lin Qiao walked out of the basement and up the stairs. Up there was abandoned storage; the building had collapsed there. The entrance of the basement was cleaned and hidden, so people wouldn’t find it unless they paid extra attention to the area.

She looked at the sky; it was already getting dark.

She hopped onto a nearby utility pole and closed her eyes to listen to the sounds coming from the base, then spent a moment to sense the zombie crowd outside the base and figured out the rough number of those zombies.

The area surrounding the base was still zombie-free. However, a crowd was gathering miles away from the base. A lot of zombies had gathered where she came in from earlier, and zombies had just started to gather on the other side, slightly further away from the base. It seemed that Lin Kui had already made a circle around the entire Sky Fire Base.

At that time, the base had already started to become noisy. In the secret experimental base, a group of base residents had been confronting the leaders of the army.

Hundreds of armored soldiers had their guns pointed at the entrance of the underground lab. Near the entrance were hundreds of residents, pointing weapons at the soldiers and showing no signs of stepping back.

“Liu Hanqin! You are such a fool! Wake up! Li Zhengye is doing such an evil experiment behind our back! He kidnapped superpower possessors from our base! We won’t let this end so easily today. Kill us if you can!” The leader of the group of residents was a man who glared at the soldiers ragingly and shouted at the leader of the soldiers aggressively.

Liu Hanqin furrowed his brows and stayed silent. He could not order his soldiers to fight those people. The secret lab had already been exposed, so he needed some people to be scapegoats.

“What’s happening here has nothing to do with Chief. Chief does not know about it. The man who’s running this place is definitely the lab leader. Don’t listen to some people’s lie. They’re trying to frame the good people. Move! We need to collect evidence. Don’t interfere with our work!” Liu Hanqin thought for a moment and then said to the people loudly.

“Bullsh*t! What do you mean that this has nothing to do with Li Zhengye? What do you mean don’t listen to some people’s lie? Li Zhengye is not a qualified base leader! Without his permission, who has the power to build such a huge experimental base in the base? Do you think that we’re all idiots?” The leader of the group of people yelled at Liu Hanqin angrily.

As the two groups were confronting each other, a great number of soldiers had been searching through the base for zombies. Soon, they heard that a man was found dead where the woman, who came out of Li Zhengye’s place in the morning, lived.

“A piece of his neck was bitten off, and he’s infected by the zombie virus. But, who put the bullet into his forehead?” Cui Tengguang went there as soon as he heard the news. He looked at the dead body with confusion as he said to his men.

“We don’t know. We’ve asked everyone nearby about it, but no one saw what happened. However, some heard screams and yells. A security guy from the neighborhood shot the bullet after he found the man in the morning. He was worried that the man might wake up as a zombie, so he shot him,” Cui Tengguang’s assistant reported to him.

“So, there are zombies in the base. It’s weird though! It has been a whole day, but only one person got attacked by the zombies,” Cui Tengguang still didn’t understand.

At that point, a soldier ran over in a hurry and first saluted to him, then said, “Sir, I heard from the fence wall that a large zombie crowd was found five miles away from the south gate. They are approaching our base. A massive zombie crowd is forming.”

Cui Tengguang gave a start when he heard the soldier. “What? A massive zombie crowd? Do you know how many zombies are out there?”

“About ten-thousand,” said the soldier, “More have been gathering toward us. The fence wall is already on secondary alert.”

Cui Tengguang blinked and murmured, “Are those zombies out there summoned by the high-leveled ones in our base?”

“Sir, what do we do now?” Cui Tengguang’s assistant asked him for instructions.

“Let’s go there and take a look. Send more people to search every corner of the base!”

“Yes, sir!”

As Cui Tengguang and his men were heading toward the south gate, the woman who came out of Li Zhengye’s room in the morning was hiding in her apartment, walking around in her bedroom in a panic.

Earlier in the afternoon, some soldiers asked her about the dead man who was found around the corner, so she lied out of fear. She told them she knew nothing about the dead man because she didn’t want to be caught for investigation. Even if she told the truth, the others wouldn’t believe her. After all, she was with that man before he died. He died while she stayed perfectly unharmed. She did not know how to explain that.

Her husband was out of the base on a mission while she was at home alone with her parents.

She had no idea what to do. She didn’t dare to tell the truth to her parents.

She saw a zombie and a man in sunglasses, who was with the zombie. The man must have brought the zombie into the base for some kind of purpose. Even thinking about that made her feel terrified!

However, they didn’t hurt her. Why? Weren’t they worried that she might tell the others about what she saw after she woke up?

She walked to the window and looked outside. Soldiers ran across the neighborhood from time to time, seemingly searching for something.

Gunshots could even be heard from time to time.

‘Why were there gunshots? Did they find something?’?The woman wondered.
