Chapter 470: The Broken Base

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Qiao quickly observed the wall, then leaped off the twenty-story building and moved toward the entrance of the base.

The gate was closed, clearly sealed from the inside.

She spent a few minutes walking across the isolation belt and came to the metal gate, which was closed tightly. She was able to create a hole on the gate with her black mist, but she didn’t do it.

She stood by the door, then raised her head and glanced at the captives who were hanging on the wall. After that, she went under a breach on the wall, then took a few steps backward. Next, she ran forward and leaped straight over the breach.

Seeing the scene inside the base, she frowned again.

The buildings in the base had either collapsed or were broken; the ones which were still standing on the ground were covered in holes.

Most of those buildings had been burned and blown up. There were ruins everywhere.

This was the outskirt of the base. A couple of months ago, Long Yubai ordered his superpowered soldiers to break into the base with their greatest powers when he came to attack.

Lin Qiao heard that all sorts of cannonballs were used, and even a lot of tanks had driven into this base.

Therefore, Hades Base was devastated.

Lin Qiao spent a moment gazing at the destroyed outer base, then sprung up and hopped onto a building which had a giant hole in the middle of it, then swiftly moved toward the central area.

At the same time, Duan Juan, Li Hongsheng and a few others were standing on top of a building which was outside the isolation belt, quietly watching the fence wall through telescopes.

“Will she really go in?” The man beside Duan Juan asked.

“I don’t know. Let’s wait,” Duan Juan rested the telescope on her nose and responded while observing the wall.

Li Hongsheng also had his eyes fixed on the wall area. “Do you believe that she can kill Yang Jianhua? Although he’s only at level-six, his army has serious weapons.”

“What are you worrying about? Didn’t you see how she sneaked into our place last night? Even you didn’t sense her coming. She might really be able to kill Yang Jianhua with a surprise strike, right?” Duan Juan dropped the telescope and said, “She sounded so confident. I don’t think she has a reason to lie to us, does she?”

Li Hongsheng nodded and agreed with her. He took over the telescope from her hands and tried to look through it. But next, he realized that he was wearing a pair of glasses, so he thought for a second and then handed the telescope to someone else.

Duan Juan continued saying, “Keep an eye on this area. Let me know if you find anything.” While speaking, she walked toward the stair room.

On the other side, Lin Qiao leaped across those broken buildings and soon arrived at the center area. She found ninety percent of the buildings in the base center undamaged, and quite some people in this area.

The wall of the base center wasn’t as tall as the fence wall outside, only about five meters in height. Lin Qiao stood on top of the wall, looking at the large batch of armed vehicles and trucks which were parked on the square in the base center. A lot of soldiers had been carrying all kinds of supplies onto those vehicles.

She leaped off the wall and started following Yang Jianhua’s vibe.

In fact, Yang Jianhua wasn’t far away from her. He was in a building located right next to the square. At that moment, he was looking downstairs, holding a cup.

He had no idea that danger was coming near him.

Lin Qiao climbed onto an average height building near the square, because she was able to see Yang Jianhua from here. With doubts, she observed him.

If her sensations weren’t wrong, the scum seemed to have broken into a higher level. Currently, she sensed a pressure from him which was similar to what she had sensed from Yang Chao, Tang He, and other level-seven people.

That kind of pressure could barely affect her now. However, it helped her estimate Yang Jianhua’s level accurately.

What happened? The scum did nothing but come back to the base. Why did he suddenly upgrade?

Lin Qiao blinked, trying to figure it out. At the same time, she leaped across the utility pole tops or car roofs, quickly moving toward Yang Jianhua’s building. Soon, she landed before the front door of that building.

She didn’t walk into the lobby, neither did she plan to take the stairs up. If she were right, Yang Jianhua was on the eleventh or twelfth floor. Climbing the stairs wouldn’t make her tired, but would take her some time.

She glanced up at the surface of the building, then leaped high while popping her claws and easily clasping the edge of the building. Next, she grasped the window frames and swung herself upward.

With only a few swings, she arrived at Yang Jianhua’s floor. Instead of breaking straight into his office, she got in through the window next door. When she walked out of the room next door, she saw another man going into Yang Jianhua’s office.

“Chief, the loading will be finished this afternoon,” Liu Yu came in with a list in his hands, then said to Yang Jianhua who was behind the window. The latter turned around, and Liu Yu a glance, then turned back to look outside.

“Em, are the bombs installed yet?” he asked.

“The bombs in the center area are all in position. We’re installing the ones in the outer base and the wall now,” Liu Yu responded.

“Tell them to hurry up,” said Yang Jianhua, “Get ready… We’ll leave this afternoon.”

“Yes, sir!” Liu Yu nodded.

Yang Jianhua raised his head and showed his handsome face. Gazing where the Earth Dragon Base was located, his eyes glowed brightly.

“Long Yubai, I said that I want to stay here, but you forced me to go to Earth Dragon Base with you. I’ll fulfill your wish then. But from now on, you have to let me be the leader.”

While speaking, he curved one side of his lip corners in a wicked smile.

“Chief, those commoners hanging on the wall have attracted quite some higher level zombies. The death rate of those people has risen largely. We need to add a dozen living human beings to the wall every hour now,” Liu Yu abruptly made a report about those people on the wall.

“How many baits do we have left?” Yang Jianhua slightly lowered his head and squinted at Liu Yu.

“Less than thirty thousand,” Liu Yu said.

Yang Jianhua frowned, then turned and looked at him, “Thirty-thousand? That’s too many. We can’t bring so many captives with us. Take five-hundred to distract those zombies on our way, and throw the rest into zombie crowds.”

“Yes, sir!” Liu Yu nodded and then asked uncertainly, “Should I do it now?”

“Yeah. Are you gonna wait until afternoon?” Yang Jianhua gave him a threatening glance.

“Yes, sir,” Liu Yu immediately turned and left.

Liu Yu leaned against the door and heard their conversation. As Liu Yu walked past her, she abruptly turned and followed him to the stairs. When he walked to the corner of the stairs where no one else was present, Lin Qiao suddenly reached out a hand, grasped the back of his collar, and quietly dragged him into her space.
