Chapter 1020: The Second Batch

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In Huaxia Base, Si Kongchen received a message.

“Missing? What does that mean? Did the die or get caught? Why are they missing? Haven’t you found out why?” He read the message and asked with confusion.

Hou Guozhong was sitting straight in the armchair next to him. “They suddenly disappeared,” he said, “Not during their missions. They vanished when they were taking rest. No enemies or any suspicious people were noticed. All of the disappearing ones have superpowers. The ordinary soldiers are all fine.”

Si Kongchen knitted his eyebrows and said, “Did that happen only to our people, or all the superpowered people?”

Hou Guozhong said, “The ones who have disappeared were all heading South for missions. The others are fine. I don’t think our base is the sole target. Perhaps, it was Green Mountain Base people who did it.”

Si Kongchen snorted coldly as he said, “You haven’t even located Green Mountain Base yet. You haven’t found out anything about them. How do you know it was them? What about Sky Fire Base?”

Hou Guozhong shook his head as he slightly dropped his eyelids and replied, “We haven’t heard anything about that from Sky Fire Base.”

Si Kongchen thought for a moment and said, “Tell your men to be careful when you send them to that area again.”

“Yes, sir!”

“Keep a close eye on Sky Fire Base. It’ll be fine if what Li Zhengye is planning on doesn’t affect us. But still, we need to prevent him from casting his eyes on us.”

“Yes, sir!”

“Once our experiment succeeds, we will be the only base which rules over the country. All the others will yield to us. By then, Wu Chengyue would have no power to fight against us.”

Saying those words, Si Kongchen’s eyes, that normally wore a composed look, gradually showed a trace of madness. He turned to the door and then continued, “By then, we’ll not only be controlling the bases in the country, all of the foreign bases will be under our control too. We will own the whole world! All the food and resources in the planet will be held in our hands.”

Hou Guozhong stayed silent as he gave him a glance.

Soon, Si Kongchen adjusted his expression and got the composed look back on his face again, “You said that you didn’t find anything about Green Mountain Base, so what about All Beings Base? Still nothing?”

Hou Guozhong shook his head and said, “It’s very hard to dig out the secrets of All Beings Base. Earlier on, Sky Fire Base tried to use violence to get some useful information out of that base, yet none of their people returned. The batch of people that they sent into the base was decimated. Not one message was brought back to Li Zhengye.”

He wasn’t trying to tell Si Kongchen that Sky Fire Base people were too weak. Instead, he was letting Si Kongchen know that All Beings Base was a little too mysterious. That base was like a sealed iron bucket. Not a single piece of information would be leaked to the outsiders.

Si Kongchen didn’t pay much attention to that, but said expressionlessly, “We’ll take our time to crack them. We have as much time as we need. Time will give us the opportunity to dig out their secrets. Also, how are things going with the group of Sea City Base people near Lake Tai?”

“We have given them surprise attacks and separated them from each other. Except for the few stronger ones, all the others have died,” Hou Guozhong responded. Speaking about that mission, he sounded a little more confident than before. At least that mission was half-way accomplished already.

“So, some of them got out and you still haven’t finished them off?” Si Kongchen furrowed his eyebrows with discontentment. He sent about three-hundred level-five soldiers, all armed to the teeth. He wanted those people to be killed quickly and neatly. Nevertheless, some of those people got out. That was not what he wanted. After all, there were only about thirty of them, and they weren’t as powerful and highly armed as his men.

“Don’t worry! We’ve been chasing them with all our force. They can’t run. Currently, only one level-six, two level-five, and a level-four one is left alive. Some of them are even injured. We can even exhaust them to death. Not to mention our pursuit, their lives are also threatened by zombies, mutated plants, and insects. Their chance of survival is very low,” said Hou Guozhong with confidence.

At that time, Yuan Tianxing, Lin Feng, and the others were having a meeting in All Beings Base, talking about who should be bringing Lin Wenwen and Leng Xuantong back to the base.

Last night, Yue Xiaoxian had made a visit to All Being Base and talked to Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng. Even though Lin Qiao hadn’t given her order yet, Lin Feng clearly understood that he should be sending out another batch of people to look for Lin Wenwen and the others. Earlier on, Yuan Tianxing heard that Huaxia Base had sent people after Lin Wenwen and her teammates. Yue Xiaoxian and Liu Mingsong, who were sent to them earlier were clearly not strong enough. Lin Qiao was planning on sending some stronger zombies to find them.

However, those underground creatures suddenly attacked and ruined her plan. She had a plan about whom to send to bring Lin Wenwen and her people back. Those zombies were supposed to be on the way today.

But, those underground creatures came out of their nest before it was completely dark and caused trouble. She didn’t even have a chance to give her order.

“Do you guys know whom Chief was going to send? I think she’ll send Lin Kui back there, as he knows where they might be. It’s relatively easier for him to find them,” Lin Feng looked at Qiu Lili and Lin Kui, who were sitting on the other side of the table. At the moment, Yun Meng was in a special hospital room with one leg of hers fixed on the bed, so she didn’t attend the meeting.

Thankfully, Duan Juan and Shen Yujen mentioned Lin Qiao’s original plan before they left in the morning.

Qiu Lili never worried about such things. Lin Qiao always told her what to do whenever her help was needed. So, she shook her head to tell the others that she didn’t know about the other’s plan.

Lin Kui folded his arms before his chest. He had detected the hidden meaning in Lin Feng’s words, so he glanced at the latter but didn’t say anything.

Receiving that glance of his, Lin Feng figured that Lin Kui had understood his meaning. So, he continued, “In order to bring Wenwen and the others back by the day after tomorrow, we’re going to ask Mr. Lin to go back there to find them. He returned from that area not long ago, so I suppose he knows better about their current location than we do. It’ll be easy and convenient for him to find them,” Lin Feng pointed at Lin Kui and said.

“I’m going too! The big cat is fast, but not as fast as me! I can fly! Besides, those Huaxia Base people are so awful! I’m going to find and kill them! The people who messed with us won’t end well!” Qiu Lili abruptly made her voice sound. She was pouting with anger, and her red eyes were sparkling brightly.

“I’m not a big cat!” The silent Lin Kui complained helplessly. He couldn’t accept being called ‘big cat’ by Qiu Lili, the little girl.
