The other base leaders each aired their own opinions and soon forgot about Si Kongchen’s threat.
Listening to their conversation, Lin Qiao rolled her eyes. The atmosphere in every grand meeting was pretty much the same. Before, when she attended such meetings herself, she always stayed silent with a faint smile on her face. However, other people always had many questions to ask her.
Right at that time, a man hurriedly ran over and whispered a few words to the guard by the door. After hearing from him, the guard quickly turned and came in, quietly walking to the Deputy Chief behind Si Kongchen. Without interrupting the others, he bent over and said a few words to that Deputy Chief with a low voice. Next, the Deputy Chief had his expression change. He immediately stood up and made two steps forward, then whispered in Si Kongchen’s ear.
Seeing that, the others stopped talking and fixed their eyes on Si Kongchen.
After hearing his subordinate, Si Kongchen frowned. Then, he stood up from the armchair as he looked at the others and said, “My people just reported to me that the zombie was seen in the base. I need to handle it now. My friends, you can either join me or head back to your own room to rest.”
While speaking, he nodded at the people and then walked out of the room with big steps.
“Eh? Did the zombie run out by itself?” Wu Chengyue looked at the others with surprise.
“Ah, how could they let it run? Shouldn’t they have hidden it well? If only there was a level-seven space possessor… In that case, we’d be able to conveniently put that zombie into the space,” said Lu Zhuofeng with laughter.
Most of the space possessors had airless spaces. Their spaces couldn’t contain living creatures, but could contain zombies, because zombies didn’t need air. Without the sunlight, zombies wouldn’t die, and would only quiet down.
However, the zombie was a special kind of creature. When a space possessor put a zombie into his or her space, the space would start shrinking. The higher was the zombie’s level, the smaller would the space become. At last, the space would fail to contain the zombie’s body.
Therefore, only level seven or eight space possessors were able to put a level-seven zombie into their spaces. However, no one had even heard about any space possessor above level five yet.
So, Lu Zhuofeng was only joking.
“I’ll go and take a look. This is a great opportunity. If Huaxia Base people catch that zombie, they’ll hide it again, right?” Lan Lu stood up and headed toward the door while speaking.
No one else wanted to stay in the room. They all wanted to see that zombie!
“Who are those people? They stole the zombie, and then let it run? I can’t believe it.” said Bao Chengzhi, the leader of Mongols Base who had been staying silent the whole time. While speaking, he was also walking out of the room.
Wu Chengyue smilingly followed behind the others. As all the others were looking at the door, he glanced at the room before leaving.
Standing by the door, Lin Qiao noticed his move, feeling a little strange.
Was he suspecting something?
On the other side of the base, the black panther had already rushed into a farm from a residential area. He flashed across the air swiftly, leaving nothing but a shred of dark shadow before disappearing within a blink.
“Over there! It ran into the farm!” Wei Haichao, a member of the board in Huaxia Base got there timely and speedily followed the panther into the farm. He was a level-seven plant-power possessor. His sensations were sharper than that of many superpowered people, so he actually located the zombie.
The farm in Huaxia Base was huge, occupying over a thousand acres of land. The farm was covered in all kinds of crops. At first glance, one would see thriving vegetables or cereals, and the fruit trees on the hills in the further area.
Wei Haichao rushed into the farm ahead of the others. Being surrounded by plants, his plant power would become twice as strong.
Following behind him was a great army. Under his direction, the soldiers quickly moved toward the black panther from all directions. The vehicles were running on the narrow soil roads in the farm, stirring up clouds of dust. Soon, they had to get off the car and keep moving on foot.
The zombie was heading toward a hill with fruit trees, and cars couldn’t reach that area.
However, the troop didn’t manage to catch up with that zombie. Wei Haichao got a little closer to the zombie, but only a little. After all, the zombie possessed animal power. As a plant power possessor, he was much slower than the zombie!
Thanks to his plant power, he never lost the track of the zombie, even though he couldn’t catch up with it. With no other choice, he kept following behind the zombie while waiting for reinforcements.
A dark figure flashed across the woods and landed on a tree. The zombie turned to glance back and saw nothing, only sensing a vibe coming straight at him.
Lin Kui, of course, remembered everything before he turned into a zombie. He didn’t turn into a zombie when the apocalypse came. Instead, he was bitten by a zombie panther from a zoo. When he woke up, he found himself in a completely different shape.
His palms were covered in fur, and nails were as sharp as beast claws. The world in his eyes became black and white, like the images in a black-and-white television.
He remembered that a zombie panther bit him, but had no idea why it didn’t eat him. After waking up, he quickly checked his body and found no other wound, save for a large scratch on his face.
Soon after that, he found the dead body of that zombie panther. He checked it and found a bullet hole on its head. Clearly, it was shot. Perhaps someone passed by before the panther ate him.
He didn’t know who killed the panther and accidentally protected him. So, he dug out the bullet from the panther’s head.
After that, he lived a very hard life. Any food tasted like mud in his mouth. The only thing that made him feel extremely hungry was the scent of living human beings. Once he smelled living humans, the desire of feeding would occupy his head, and his mind would go blur. He controlled that appetite with difficulties. To stop himself from losing his mind and attacking people madly, he ran away from all humans that he met.
One day, another zombie attacked him. He had no idea why that zombie attacked him, but he fought back nevertheless. During the battle, he accidentally smashed the zombie’s head and found his first zombie nucleus.
He sensed an attractive type of energy from that zombie nucleus. Unlike human flesh, that energy tempted him in a different way. He was instinctively attracted to that energy.
He wiped that zombie nucleus with his clothing for a few times, then reluctantly swallowed it.
The other base leaders each aired their own opinions and soon forgot about Si Kongchen’s threat.
