Chapter 1424: Take the Last One

Lin Qiao knew that Si Kongchen was able to sense any living being at a lower level than himself. She wouldnt be able to hide from his radar if she were an ordinary level-eight zombie or human. However, she also remembered how she approached the level-nine monster in the underground world using her invisibility without being spotted. Based on that, she figured that Si Kongchen shouldnt be able to detect her presence either.

She still stayed alert, though. She wasnt sure if Si Kongchen would be unable to detect her presence like the level-nine monster or not, but she was eighty percent confident about it.

She hadnt exited her space before, because first, she wanted Si Kongchen to think that she couldnt escape under his watch, and second, she was waiting for things to change on the outside.

There was a reason why she had been staying so calmly in her space. In other peoples eyes, she was stuck, but in fact, she was waiting for the underground world to change. She couldnt foresee the future like Lin Wenwen, but she could sense things from what she had seen. She had always been insightful.

In the underground world, she had seen the energy inside the level-nine monsters body transforming speedily. That was the reason why the monster had been eating a lot. It needed the blood, flesh, and energy of those level-eight creatures to replenish its own energy.

The energy inside the monsters body wasnt the same as the energy on top of the underground space. It was turning into another kind of energy in the creatures body. The level-nine creatures energy was more dangerous than the energy in the underground space, and it was able to suppress the underground energy firmly. For that very reason, the monster was ruling the underground world.

When Lin Qiao approached the monster, she had, with surprise, discovered that she was able to read the monsters mind. It wasnt smart; actually, it was less smart than the level-eight ones. However, it had horrifying wild instincts. That was why the level-eight ones were afraid of it.

She could read the monsters mind but hadnt really understood what it was thinking at first. Only when she noticed the creature raise its head to look up from time to time did she guessits thoughts.

It probably wouldnt stay underground for long.

Later on, she came back to the earths surface and saw the underground creatures gather together. At that time, she guessed that they werent gathering only for the upgrading.

That was actually a special ceremony.

By connecting the behaviors of the level-nine creature and the underground creatures on the earths surface, Lin Qiao had figured that the big one would soon come out from the underground.

The timing was perfect, and Si Kongchen would be dealing with it. As she had said before, the level-nine creature was waiting for him. Since he wasnt willing to go and face it, Lin Qiao decided to guide the monster to him.

She headed quickly toward the inner sector of Huaxia Base and soon found what she was looking for.

She knew that Si Kongchen had quite a few underground labs, some of which were built inside Huaxia Base. She remembered that one of them was located near the center of Huaxia Base. She didnt know what it was for, but since it was right near the base center, it must be very important.

She came to Huaxia Base to give Si Kongchen trouble. She had failed to kill Si Kongchen, but she wasnt willing to leave just so easily. So before leaving, she decided to destroy another underground lab of Si Kongchen. Hopefully, the man wouldnt mind.

At that time, Si Kongchen was still standing on top of the building. Wei Haichao and Han Xiao were standing in front of him, reporting to him about the most recent moves of the underground creatures outside the base, and the result of the background check about All Beings Base people.

The nearest hole is thirty miles away from us. The mist travels about a thousand and two-hundred meters every day, so itll come to our base in less than a month. Currently, nothing can stop it from spreading. What should we do in a month? Wei Haichao looked at Si Kongchen and asked.

Havent we been producing gas masks urgently? Si Kongchen asked.

We cant possibly make over a million gas masks in just a month! Han Xiao joined the conversation.

Huaxia Base used to have about two million residents, but half of them died during the second explosion of the virus. Currently, the population of Huaxia Base had reduced to a million and two-hundred-thousand, while Sea City Base had only about seven-hundred-thousand residents left.

At present, the total population of the country was less than three million.

Dont we have two-hundred-thousand finished products already? We still have a month. Therell be nothing we can do if the gas masks are still not enough in a month. The ones who wont have gas masks will have to blame their bad luck, Si Kongchen said blandly and then asked, Have you found out if those All Beings Base people are humans or zombies?

On hearing that question, Wei Haichao turned to Han Xiao. He was also curious about the answer to that question.

We didnt find anything about the two girls, Han Xiao knitted his brows slightly, saying, But I managed to identify the man named Lin Kui. He is the level-seven zombie that was stolen from our base at the beginning of last year.

His words made Si Kongchen, and Wei Haichao pop their eyes. Him? Its him! The woman took him away said Si Kongchen, How come hes become like a human being? The two girls are suspicious too. You cant find a thing about them. It doesnt mean that theyre humans. Actually, I think its more likely that theyre not humans!

Wei Haichao looked at Han Xiao with surprise, saying, No way! Is he the zombie with animal power? He looks completely different!

Its him, Han Xiao nodded and said, He showed up by the womans side soon after he disappeared from our base. Thankfully, we still have some of our men in Sea City Base. They risked their lives to get that information.

Si Kongchen snorted coldly and then turned where Lin Qiao was before, saying, I think theyre all zombies! He cant be the only zombie around her! No wonder her base used to be surrounded by zombies, and those zombies never attacked the people in the base. They were clearly under control!

Wei Haichao looked at Han Xiao and said, Are you really sure Lin Kui is that zombie? Your men managed to identify Lin Kui, but why cant they find any information about the others?

Han Xiao turned to him and said, You think finding information about them is easy? The man found out that Lin Kui is the zombie stolen from us by chance. That was pure luck! My other men werent as lucky as he is! This Lin Kui is enough to prove how unusual the womans people are.

Youre right. The woman might have a large number of high-leveled zombies in her base. I wonder how she changed those zombies appearances Oh, hasnt the woman died once? The bland look in Si Kongchens eyes suddenly changed.
