“What! Didn’t I tell you to guard him well? How could you let him run!” Hou Guozhong’s
“No… He didn’t run! He… he disappeared! There was no trace of trying to break out!” The man stuttered.
“What did you say?” Hou Guozhong paused slightly, then asked with a frown, “What happened? Make it clear!”
“The guards by the door never left. The airvent and the windows weren’t opened either. Some people brought food to them, but didn’t see them from the outside. They waited for half an hour, but he still didn’t pass out his bowl. They went in and then found that he was gone.” The squad leader who was making the report described what happened, sweat oozing out of his nose tip.
“Not even a trace was left in the room? Is he able to go through walls? Go and find them!” Hou Guozhong didn’t believe a word he said. He yelled at the squad leader angrily, then ordered his people to search through the entire base for that man.
In Lin Qiao’s space, a man was tied up with the vine that Viney had left and thrown to the living room. Xie Dong and Lu Tianyi stood by a couch as they curiously looked at him.
“Who are you guys!” The man wasn’t panicking even though he was suddenly dragged into a strange place. Instead, he coldly observed Lin Qiao and the other two.
Lin Qiao was sitting on the couch, leaning against the back with her arms crossed before her chest. She was quietly looking at the man without answering his question.
The man moved his shoulders. The vine wrapped him tighter and tighter, and his power seemed to have been disabled. He didn’t know what the pretty lady had done to him.
As she stayed silent, the man stopped talking as well. He knew that the more he talked, the more mistakes he might make.
Right at that moment, a head was suddenly stuck out from behind the door. A purely dark pair of eyes were fixed on the man in the living room with curiosity.
The man didn’t notice it, but Lin Qiao and the other two did.
As Lin Qiao looked that way, the owner of those eyes immediately shrank and disappeared by the door.
Except for that smart zombie who was somehow addicted to eating bugs, no one else had the courage to approach the building without her permission.
Lu Tianyi looked that way, feeling that the smart zombie was becoming bolder and bolder.
Xie Dong quickly glanced at the door. Instead of paying attention to the zombie out there, he stared at the man that Lin Qiao brought back.
That man possessed a level-five superpower. However, his energy had been suppressed by the space. He was wearing a military suit; clearly, he was a soldier.
Lin Qiao stood up and said to Xie Dong, “Tie him on a chair. Don’t let him out.” Then, she turned and left.
Xie Dong immediately walked to the man on the ground.
As Lin Qiao disappeared suddenly, the man realized where he was.
Lin Qiao exited the base and used her sensations to find that Si Kongchen was still in that woods, searching for Lin Kui, while the others were still gathering by the farmland.
She immediately moved toward those people.
Half an hour later, as Si Kongchen still found nothing, the other base leaders planned to leave.
The sour-faced Si Kongchen kept searching in the farmland. However, in a couple of hours, he had no choice but to give up. He really couldn’t find anything, and only returned with a dark face.
Wu Chengyue and the others didn’t go straight back to their own rooms, but stayed in the lobby on the first floor, having tea. To avoid arousing suspicion, none of them returned to their rooms.
“Ah, the source of the main material of the antidote has run away. Will they be able to make any more of that antidote?” Lan Lu looked at the others and started talking lazily.
Sitting in front of him, Wu Chengyue said, “In fact, instead of the anti-zombie drug, I think we should better develop the drug that can allow us to be immune to the zombie virus. In that way, we’d be able to kill zombies more efficiently. Do you agree?”
“Be immune to the zombie virus? We don’t even know how the virus was created. How are we supposed to develop the antibody?” Lu Zhuofeng said scornfully.
“I think what Chief Wu said is doable. If we can’t develop a drug to kill all zombies, we might as well start from ourselves. As for how the virus was created… my base has been trying to find out the answer to that question. We haven’t found the source of the virus yet. The day before the apocalypse, the crust moved intensely. It happened in just a moment though, like an earthquake. I wonder if you guys noticed that,” Lan Lu thought for a moment and then said.
“Oh, I remember that. It was in September, and I was working late that night. About three or four in the morning, I did feel a quake. Also, the air seemed to curdle suddenly at that time. I passed out directly! When I woke up, it was the next norming,” Li Zhengye from Sky Fire Base quickly responded.
“Everyone knows about that, but only a few had experienced it. Most people were in sleep back then. Not even the earthquake could wake them up easily. Besides, the quake only lasted for a second. For sure, not many people noticed it. The air stopped flowing, so many people passed out in their sleep, which was weird,” Lan Lu nodded and paused to think for a moment, then continued, “I’ve studied in it. I guess the earth crust had turned at that time and released some kind of gas from the underground. The gas met the air and then caused the air to stop flowing. That’s why you felt that the air curdled. Afterward, that gas merged with the air and generated the zombie virus.”
After saying that, he raised his head and emphasized, “But of course, this is only a guess of mine. After all, I haven’t found any trace of that gas yet.”
“That makes sense actually. So, the earth turned on the inside and caused an earthquake, then made a fart and killed most of the human beings,” Wu Chengyue said smilingly.”
“Why was it a fart? I think the earth is upgrading, so it decided to get rid of human beings. After all, we’ve been doing no good but damaging the environment. The earth was just trying to make itself comfortable!” Lu Zhuofeng smiled and said.
“I think that what Chief Lan said is highly possible. Perhaps, we can do some research about that. We might really have some discoveries,” Bao Chengzhi, the leader of Mongols Base, said seriously.
Lan Lu spread his hands and said, “I have studied in it. The study is going nowhere though. That’s why I said that it was only a guess. I have nothing to prove it.”
