“But, Wu Chengyue is there. Even I am no match for him. Even if we send over a strong army force, we might still lose. There’s one thing for sure, that our damage won’t be small. I’m surprised that Wu Chengyue has made the breakthrough as well. He has lightning power, so his level-eight is not the same as mine,” Lu Zhuofeng talked abruptly.
“They can control zombies. Doesn’t that make the antidote even more important?” said another man to Long Yubai.
“But, Huaxia Base hasn’t informed us about the grand meeting yet. We still need to wait. When is it gonna happen? In ten days? Half a month? One or two months? If it’s really gonna take that long, things in Upper City Base will become more and more unpredictable,” Long Yubai stopped pacing and stood before the table as he crossed his arms and said with concern.”
“Don’t worry, it won’t be too long. At first, we need to prepare a good amount of supplies, or we might lose it to the other bases. If that base in Upper City District attended the meeting as well, we could probably end them there,” Lu Zhuofeng thought for a moment, then gave a suggestion.
Long Yubai didn’t respond, but frowned and pondered over it.
Maybe because that Miss. Lu from Upper City Base was way too mysterious, Long Yubai was very scared of her. The zombie dominator that he met last time was already incredibly powerful, so he assumed that the one who had been controlling that zombie must be even stronger. Where was Miss. Lu from?
Now, Yuan Tianxing had stepped into level-seven as well. Upper City Base was obviously underpopulated, and lacked armed force. However, it had built a close relationship with Sea City Base. How on earth did that happen?
Since Upper City Base was in cooperation with Sea City Base, they must have something that Sea City Base cared about.
Long Yubai wasn’t planning to use the antidote somewhere else but his own city. Also, he had heard that the antidote was only effective on ordinary zombies. For high-leveled zombies, it wasn’t so harmful.
For that reason, he wanted Lu Zhuofeng and He Mu to destroy the Upper City Base with their greatest powers while they were at his base. However, Lu Zhuofeng came back from there and told him that Wu Chengyue had been staying in that base the whole time, and that he had already broken into level-eight.
That made Long Yubai feel an even greater threat.
And now, Lu Zhuofeng and He Mu didn’t agree with him. Clearly, they were more interested in the antidote in Huaxia Base.
“Ah, why didn’t they develop an antivirus drug that can make people immune to the zombie virus? In that case, we’d be able to kill zombies without worrying about being scratched or bitten by them. That would reduce the casualties at least,” He Mu sighed and said disappointedly.
“The antidote is made from zombie blood, so if people drank it, they’d be directly infected by the virus. Therefore, it’s only effective on those ordinary zombies. Their cells have been changed by the virus,” Lu Zhuofeng looked at him and said seriously, “However, what you just mentioned has always been a goal as well. It’s just that no progress has been made on that yet.”
“Alright… Yubai, have you made the decision?” He Mu turned to ask Long Yubai.
“I’m telling you, if you want me to go against Upper City Base for you again, you’ll have to wait until we get the antidote and Wu Chengyue has left,” Lu Zhuofeng raised his thick eyebrows, then looked at Long Yubai and said.
An impatient look flashed across Long Yubai’s eyes. But still, he responded in a soft tone, “Let me think about it. I haven’t decided yet.”
“Okay! So, this is it… I’m heading back,” He Mu stood up, heading toward the outside.
He closed the door and left, and Lu Zhuofeng stood up as well, with only him and Long Yubai left in the conference room. However, he didn’t walk toward the door, but toward Long Yubai.
“I found out about Wu Chengyue’s current power for you this time. You should give me some reward, right?” He walked up to Long Yubai as he raised a hand and clenched the latter’s delicate chin while gazing at him in the eyes.
At that moment, his fierce-looking eyes were sparkling with a wicked smile.
He was about the same height as Long Yubai. While holding the latter’s chin and turning his head over, he conveniently pushed forward his own face and pressed his lips against Long Yubai’s.
Long Yubai raised a hand and gently pushed him back while saying to him smilingly, “Come to my room tonight.”
Then, he pushed Lu Zhuofeng away as he turned and walked to the door.
Lu Zhuofeng, who was behind him, didn’t see the frown on his face and the icy-cold look in his eyes.
Long Yubai forcibly restrained the disgust in his heart. He had no choice but to endure it; there was no other way. He had no strict requirement about his own power. In order to consolidate his status and his base, he had to rely on the other powerful beings.
It was not that he didn’t want to strengthen himself. He just felt that it was unnecessary. By relying on the others, he could easily achieve his goals anyway. So, why would he try so hard to improve himself?
However, he was very tired of sleeping with those men already. Also, he didn’t expect Lu Zhuofeng to break into level-eight so soon.
Level-eight… He wanted very much to make use of him. But at the same time, he was also scared of him.
…
Another day passed, but Lin Qiao still hadn’t shown up. At that point, all the others had gotten a little anxious.
They weren’t able to get in touch with Lin Qiao, who had entered her space, so they had no way of finding out about her current situation. All they could do was to wait outside anxiously.
In her space, Lu Tianyi was not the only one who had gotten worried. All the zombies in that place had moved as far away from the lake as possible which had energy surging out of it, to keep themselves from being hurt by the energy from the lake which blasted from time to time.
Lin Qiao’s vibe had already become unstable, and it burst out from time to time.
The burst of Lin Qiao’s vibe was harmless to humans, but to zombies, it could be scarier than zombie dominators. Therefore, all the higher-leveled zombies in her base had carefully hidden in those small spaces, and those zombies on the other side of the lake had moved far away from the lake.
They were all waiting for their boss to come out of the lake. Those sudden blasts of her vibe could really give them a heart attack, even though their hearts had already died…
“It has been five days. Why is she still in there?” Wu Chengyue frowned as he murmured to himself while looking at Wu Yueling, who had fallen asleep on the couch.
He planned to wait until the female zombie came out of her base, then return to his base with Xiao Yunlong and the heavily injured Kong Qingming. However, he had waited for a couple of days, but she hadn’t come out yet.
Therefore, he asked Xiao Yunlong to send Kong Qingming back to the base first.
