Zombie Sister Strategy

On hearing Lin Qiao say that the monster might wake up Lu Tianyu the zombie, Wu Chengyue knitted his brows, saying, “Why didn’t you say that earlier? Why did you come with me then?”

She knew it was dangerous but still followed him there!

Lin Qiao looked at him and said with composure, “Why couldn’t I? I can hide from it now, but can I hide from it my whole life? Besides, would I ever let you and Teng come here alone?”

She took the journey for multiple reasons actually. She was worried about Wu Chengyue and Teng, and she also wanted the monster to wake up Lu Tianyu the zombie. After all, she didn’t seem to be able to wake up the zombie herself. It required an external force to wake it up.

She needed to solve the problem sooner or later. Hence, she intended to solve it as soon as she could, so that she could stop worrying about it constantly.

She followed Wu Chengyue to Huaxia Base partially for that purpose.

The relaxed smile on Wu Chengyue’s face was gone. With a deep frown, he said, “Would you be able to control yourself if you suddenly turned into a real zombie during the fight?”

She was right. Judging by the critical situation of Huaxia Base, he might not be able to protect Teng alone. After all, apart from the monster, he also needed to stay alert against Si Kongchen, who was still a threat to him. Teng was able to deal with the monster but couldn’t do anything to Si Kongchen.

He had to bring Teng with him, because he wasn’t confident that he could defeat the monster alone

“I wonder if Si Kongchen will flee under the current situation. I think we should get there as soon as we can. Our top priority is to bring down the monster, but we can’t let Si Kongchen run either!” As Wu Chengyue was staring at her silently, Lin Qiao figured that he was measuring the possible consequences of the whole thing.

Wu Chengyue glanced at her with a deep frown and then nodded as he turned, “Let’s go then.”

The two of them disappeared from the mountain top.

At that time, almost all Huaxia Base people had hidden into the underground shelter. Apart from the cannon operators who were still holding fast to their positions, waiting for the weapon to be ready, no other people could be seen in the base.

The tornado was coming closer and closer to the ground, and its spinning tip crossed the cannon rays that were staying perfectly still. A great spinning force started to tear buildings apart. Window glasses were rolled up into the sky, and so were the rocks, trees, and other objects around the buildings.

The corners of the buildings and the platforms on the roofs were all crushed by the wind. After the buildings fell into pieces and the windows fell off, the wind twisted the rebars in the buildings. Shrill swishing sounds caused by the tornado grew louder and louder.

Above the tornado, the monster could no longer be seen. Meanwhile, the base had fallen into chaos on the ground.

Si Kongchen gazed into the sky. He wanted very much to go up and bring the monster down. However, he was aware that nothing could hurt it but the solar-powered attack launched by the cannons.

Unfortunately, the cannons required too much time to launch a strike. Also, the nuclei in store only allowed the weapon to launch three strikes. After three strikes, there wouldn’t be enough energy left even to initiate the defense mode of the weapon.

One cannon strike wasn’t enough to bring the monster down from the sky. Therefore, he could never defeat the level-nine monster, no matter how hard he tried. As a level-nine superpower possessor, he found himself like a joke in front of the monster.

Si Kongchen blinked his eyes, thinking about something. As the tornado was descending, his eyeballs started rolling from side to side.

At that moment, Wei Haichao and a few others were standing outside the underground shelter. All people at or under level-five had gone into the shelter. The ones who stayed on the outside were all at level-six or above.

Standing beside Wei Haichao, Han Xiao asked, “What do you think he’ll do?”

Wei Haichao snorted coldly and said, “He can’t win. He’ll run away if he doesn’t want to die. I hope he’ll just run and draw the monster away from us. But now, he still has hope in the cannons. I guess he isn’t willing to give up just so easily.”

“Wu Chengyue is here!” A man suddenly showed up beside Wei Haichao and Han Xiao, reporting to them.

Wei Haichao quickly made eye contact with Han Xiao as he took out a potion and handed it to the man.

Instead of taking it over, the man looked at him and said, “He said he needs two.”

Wei Haichao and Han Xiao asked in one voice, “Who else is here?”

“The Chief lady from All Beings Base,” said the man.

“Lu Tianyu?” Han Xiao said with surprise.

They had only asked Wu Chengyue for help. What was that woman doing here?

“Fine, he can have two. Ask them to solve the problem in the sky as soon as possible.” Wei Haichao took out another potion and handed it to the man without hesitation.

The man took over the two potions and then quickly left.

“Wu Chengyue has actually given up Sea City Base for a woman. I doubt anyone else would do the same,” Han Xiao gave a sigh. He believed that a Chief of a base could have as many women as he wanted. Why would anyone give up such great power for just one woman?

“You think this way because you have no love,” Wei Haichao glanced at him and said, “Do you know anything about that? You have no love, so you don’t understand the people who do.”

Han Xiao stayed quiet, finding Wei Haichao’s words sounding weird. Was the latter mocking him for being single?

“Like you understand it. Would you do the same if you were him?”

Wei Haichao shrugged and said, “Who knows? Don’t people say that love messes with your brain? I might lose my wits and make that kind of decision too if I were in love.”

At that moment, Wu Chengyue, who was referred to as a man who had lost his wits by Wei Haichao , received the potions from Wei Haichao’s man. “Em, I have a question,” he said to the man, “Have you tested this drug on zombies?”

“Eh? I don’t think so…” The man looked at him with confusion and said.

“Oh, okay. We’ll be there in a moment,” Wu Chengyue smiled at him and said.

While speaking, he handed one potion to Lin Qiao. “Drink it,” Lin Qiao took it over as she glanced at him and said. After saying that, she poured the potion into her mouth.

In fact, the drug was ineffective on her. She didn’t intend to tell anyone about that, though.

Wu Chengyue sensed a stream of energy flow into his body as soon as he took the potion. The energy exploded inside his body and aggressively gushed straight into his brain, into his nucleus.
