Lin Qiao put the gun back into her space, then walked to Liu Yu’s body and dug out his energy nucleus. She wasn’t going to let that scum live anyway, because he was as sick as Yang Jianhua, and was Yang Jianhua’s loyal underling.
Lin Qiao clearly knew how he fantasied about her when she walked close to him.
Liu Yu had dark and sick thoughts, and was a coward. He bullied the weak and feared the strong; moreover, he liked to abuse women.
Lin Qiao used his fear and make him defuse the bomb. He did what she asked, and naively thought that she would let him live.
Lin Qiao put the boxes which were full of bombs into her space, then turned and left.
On the other side, Duan Juan and her people saved all the people who were hanging on the wall as baits. A small part of those people had died, but the rest were still alive.
The dead ones had died not long ago, because Yang Jianhua ordered his people to pay close attention to those baits. They needed to cut the ropes of the dead baits within two or three hours.
Dead people were useless, because after death, they would slowly lose their attraction to zombies. For useless things, Yang Jianhua surely preferred to just dump them.
“Duan Juan!” Suddenly, a surprised shout could be heard from around the ladder.
Duan Juan turned back and found the man who had been helping them sneak into the base recently.
The female hostage who came here the first came to find this man. His name was Ding Datong, and he was also a member of Chief Netherworld Fire’s close guards. His little sister was held hostage, so he had no choice but to stay in the base.
The female hostage who came here to find him was his sister, Ding Ruolan.
Duan Juan quickly walked to him as she looked at the girl behind him and asked, “Ding Datong, this is your sister, right? Did they run out?”
Ding Datong glanced back at his sister, then delightedly nodded at Ding Datong. Then, he asked, “Are you with that weird woman? The one with sunglasses?”
If it weren’t for that woman and the high-leveled, young female zombie, those Earth Dragon Base people and Yang Jianhua’s people wouldn’t be attacked.
Earlier on, he saw Duan Juan and her people talk to that woman when entering the base.
Duan Juan nodded and said, “Yes. We’re kinda like temporary partners. She said that she’d kill Yang Jianhua for us, and asked us to show her where our Chief fell.”
“Ah, I see!” Ding Datong nodded knowingly, then asked more questions, “Who is she? And… she’s with a, a female zombie. It seems to be a zombie queen. Why is she with a zombie queen?”
Duan Juan shook her head and responded, “I have no idea either. At first, she said that she’d kill Yang Jianhua, and we didn’t believe her. But just now, you saw his head too. We had to believe her.”
“When do you plan to take her to that place? What plan do you have for the future?” said Ding Datong.
Duan Juan looked at him, then sighed and said, “That’ll be up to her. If she’s in no rush, I’d like to take care of the situation in here before showing her the place. Datong, hurry up… gather our people and then sort out the supplies.”
“Alright!” Ding Datong quickly nodded. Then, he glanced around and asked, “Didn’t Hongsheng come with you?”
“Hongsheng and the others are still outside. We need to send someone to bring them here,” said Duan Juan.
Ding Datong nodded.
With the help of Lin Qiao’s zombies, Yang Jianhua and Huo Wu’ soldiers were soon captured by those angry Hades Base soldiers. All the hostages were rescued, and the supplies that Yang Jianhua planned to take away had been retrieved by the Hades Base people.
After bringing all Earth Dragon Base soldiers and traitors under control, Duan Juan and her people kept them in the square in the base center. Then, they suddenly found that those zombies which were running about in the base had all disappeared.
“This shouldn’t be right. Where’re those zombies?” someone asked.
Hearing him, the others realized that those zombies had mysteriously disappeared just like how they mysteriously showed up.
Before the building near the square, Duan Juan said to Ding Ruolan, “How did you get out?”
Ding Ruolan was wearing a man’s shirt. With a strange look on her face, she looked at Ding Ruolan and answered the question, “A group of zombies came out from nowhere and knocked out the guards in the school. Then, we seized the opportunity and ran out!”
Duan Juan was confused. “I heard you talking about zombies from the beginning. Are those zombies from the school where you were kept?”
Ding Ruolan glanced around and responded uncertainly, “Well… Maybe…”
Duan Juan suddenly thought of something. She looked from left to right, up to down, seeming to be trying to find something.
“What’s wrong?” Ding Ruolan, her brother, and the others looked at her with confusion.
“I’m looking for… Um, what’s that person’s name?” Duan Juan was trying to find that woman who killed Yang Jianhua, but she didn’t know how to call her.
So, she changed her words and continued, “Oh, where’s that pretty lady who killed Yang Jianhua?”
“The one with sunglasses?” Ding Datong asked.
“Em, yeah!” Duan Juan nodded.
Ding Datong glanced around, but didn’t see that person either.
Earlier, everyone was busying at fighting and saving people, and now, they were sorting the supplies which were left in the base. So, none of them paid any attention to that mysterious woman.
“Oh, are you looking for me?” Lin Qiao showed up behind them, leaning against the door frame.
The people immediately turned to her.
Duan Juan stared at her in shock, saying, “You… you were not here the whole time, were you?”
“No, I just arrived. I was taking care of a few scums just now. That man under Yang Jianhua’s command… What’s his name again…? That level-five fire-powered man,” Lin Qiao thought for a second and said.
“Liu Yu!” Duan Juan immediately gave the answer, her eyes showing a trace of anger, “He is a scum indeed. He’s a pervert who likes to torture women, just like Yang Jianhua!”
“Yeah, him. But, I have killed him just now. I came here because I want you to send someone to a basement and save a few women. He hid them there,” Lin Qiao nodded, then gave those people an address.
“I’ll go!” Ding Datong immediately volunteered.
“Good! Datong, you take a few people and go over there to save them,” Duan Juan nodded in agreement. After watching Ding Datong and his people leave, she turned back to Lin Qiao and said, “Those zombies…”
Duan Juan didn’t straightforwardly ask Lin Qiao if she let those zombies in. However, recalling that female zombie with twin tails, she had already labeled Lin Qiao as someone who had special connections with zombies.
Lin Qiao sensed her thoughts. So, she laughed to respond, “Is that what you care about now? I think you should think about how to bring the rest of your people in from the outside, or how to leave the base. After all, they is still a crowd of zombies near the entrance.
