Chapter 1373: Retribution and Consequences

Lin Qiao gave a sneer when she saw Professor Bai disappear into that door.

‘Wanna run? How can that be so easy?’ With a sneer, she threw a dark fireball at that door.

The old man didn’t hesitate to run, as his superpower had reached level-seven only recently. Facing Lin Qiao, who looked like a level-eight superpower human but was actually a zombie emperor, he would die for sure if he didn’t run! But of course, he might not be able to run away from her.

He, of course, wouldn’t stay and wait for death. He intended to give it a try even if there were only a sliver of hope.

Puff… Along with a soft noise, the fire created a hole in that revolving door.

Lin Qiao rushed in to find an elevator shaft. The small elevator was moving rapidly upward as she raised her head and saw its bottom. While raising her head, she crooked her fingers. Following her movement, the dark fire immediately rose.

Puff! Within a blink, the fire merged into the bottom of the elevator and created a large hole in it. Professor Bai was shrinking in a corner, looking down, flustered.

Lin Qiao made a leap and hopped into the elevator. As she leaped up, Professor Bai wielded an arm to send a series of white beams of light to her while pressing some buttons behind him with the other hand. The white light immediately froze everything down below.

However, Lin Qiao was faster than his power. When the space underneath the elevator was frozen, Lin Qiao was already standing before Professor Bai.

Instead of wasting time talking, she thrust a foot against the wall behind her to push her body forward and spread her fingers as she lunged her black and sharp nails toward Professor Bai’s neck.

She launched the attack so fast that Professor Bai could barely see her movement clearly.

Right after Professor Bai released his superpower and pushed the buttons, his eyes were dazzled and then his neck was caught by a strong hand. He couldn’t breathe, and even his brain stopped working.

“Eh… Hem… You… You!” Professor Bai popped his eyes and glared at Lin Qiao. The pain and the suffocation distorted his face.

He never even imagined that that woman would find his lab! That woman! His daughter died in the underground world, but that woman came out alive! How could that happen! Why didn’t she die down there!

“I’d be such a shame if I let you run away just like this, wouldn’t it?” said Lin Qiao. She was a zombie emperor after all.

Lin Qiao looked at his twisted face with a smile; she could read his mind clearly. She was surprised to know that Xie Longyun was actually his daughter. What a coincidence! She killed his daughter and she was going to kill him too. The old man might not know the truth about his daughter’s death yet.

The elevator was still going up. Lin Qiao trod on burning dark fire, with her left arm reached out. Her sharp nails had already sunk into Professor Bai’s neck.

“So, you already know that your daughter is dead,” she said with a smile, “I wonder if you know that it was me who killed her.”

The last few words she said successfully stirred up Professor Bai’s emotion.

She ignored how strongly the old man reacted but continued with a smile, “Your daughter’s death is your retribution for what you and Si Kongchen had done. Now, it’s your turn. Sadly, you are not gonna witness the end of Si Kongchen. But don’t worry, I promise you that he’ll suffer as much pain as you.”

“Eh-hem… hem…” Professor Bai glared at Lin Qiao with hatred, pain, and anger. He automatically reached both hands to his neck to try and free himself from Lin Qiao’s grip. The pain coming from his neck made him realize something. He didn’t have the time to figure out what exactly caused the pain though. His brain was occupied by hatred and rage, but he could not fight against Lin Qiao.

By gripping his neck, Lin Qiao actually managed to stop his energy from flowing from his brain into the rest of his body. His energy was stuck in his brain, so at the moment, he could not launch a superpower attack using his hands.

Ding! The elevator stopped and then the door opened.

Lin Qiao didn’t give the old man the chance to survive. She put forth her strength through her fingers and twisted her wrist, snapping the man’s strong neck and conveniently throwing him out of the elevator door.

Thud!

After finishing off the old man, Lin Qiao walked out of the secret elevator. As she thought, the elevator didn’t lead to the main entrance of the experimental base, but to a jungle area about a mile away from there.

She hopped onto a tree and looked at the experimental base. Muffled explosion sounds could be heard from the underground in that area, mixing together with human screams and beast roars.

She could sense the earth vibrating from time to time. The experimental base was probably trashed. Judging by the muffled explosion sounds that never stopped, the place was probably torn down by some newly developed weapons.

She wondered if Si Kongchen would cough blood with anger when he found out that the secret experimental base was destroyed. After all, along with the destruction of the lab, some advanced technologies were gone as well. Perhaps, he would thank Lin Qiao for killing Professor Bai, who thought of himself as the big boss.

Lin Qiao didn’t spend much time thinking but turned and quickly left. About ten miles away from Huaxia Base, she called the others.

“Come on, you guys get in to do the reading.” Lin Qiao threw those people into her space once they gathered up.

“Read what?” Duan Juan, who was left outside to drive for Lin Qiao, looked at the latter and asked.

“The research materials about Si Kongchen’s biochemical weapons,” Lin Qiao got into the car and answered the question with a bland tone.

At that moment, Xie Dong, Yuan Tianxing, Lu Tianyi, and the others who were thrown into the space by Lin Qiao were standing in Lin Qiao’s house, looking at the huge pile of files and materials in the living room silently.

Yuan Tianxing shrugged and said, “Well, alright. This is the only kind of work that I can do now.”

While speaking, he turned and waved at the people sticking their heads in from outside to see what was happening and shouted at them, “Why are you guys all standing so far away from us? Come on! There is work for you guys too. Get in and let’s start from classifying these files!”

Lin Yu, Feng Yuming, and the others who were given with the unexpected task looked at that hill-sized pile of files, feeling their heads ache. They would rather go out to fight beasts and zombies. The clerical work could really be tormenting for them.
