Chapter 561: Your Foot Is Broken

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Right at that moment, a gust of wind lifted the signboard on Kong Qingming’s foot.

“What?” Kong Qingming, who had almost fainted because of the pain, turned with confusion, glancing at the signboard which was thrown to the side. His face had become very pale.

He clenched his teeth to keep himself awake, then raised his head to look around and saw a white figure flash across the dark sky.

Qiu Lili carried Lu Tianyi as she raised both arms toward the sky and then swung downward. In the next moment, the clouds began rolling in the sky and a few tornadoes descended. The tornadoes all gathered toward the dark figure, who was shocked upon seeing that. Qiu Lili’s wind power controlled a much wider range than his.

As he was holding his head high in shock, the sharp tails of those tornadoes swiftly descended on him.

He instantly turned and ran.

While running, he waved a hand and sent up a wind shield. The tails of the tornadoes landed on the shield, but failed to penetrate it immediately.

On top of a building, Qiu Lili put Lu Tianyi down, then swung both arms toward the dark figure. Following her move, the huge tornados fell into pieces and transformed into countless spinning whirlwinds, roaring toward the windshield.

At the same time, fire suddenly burned inside those whirlwinds, illuminating the surrounding area.

“Double-powered!” Said a deep voice in alarm, “This is bad! I can’t be exposed!”

He didn’t want to expose himself, and immediately planned to run. All of a sudden, he released his power and started a crazy gale. Meanwhile, that man restrained is vibe and made himself invisible.

“Hm, you can restrain your vibe, but your scent lingers!” Qiu Lili murmured to herself scornfully. She waved both hands, turned those whirlwinds around and made them chase behind the dark figure.

That man gave a start. He didn’t expect Qiu Lili to still be able to keep him locked even after he had restrained his vibe.

He hurriedly turned and raised an arm to send a thick wave of wind blade toward those whirlwinds. While doing that, he managed to run away.

“Hm, if I didn’t have a mission to accomplish, you’d be so dead!” Qiu Lili coldly and proudly snorted toward the dark figure. Then, she sniffed at the air and sighed to herself, ‘Ah, that woman has run away too. If she were still here, I’d kill her! But, the most important thing for the moment is bringing these two back to Qiaoqiao.’

Thinking about that, she immediately turned and carried Lu Tianyi on her back, then leaped off the building and directly landed by Kong Qingming’s side.

“Oh my, your foot is broken!” she said to Kong Qingming.

“Are you… here to save us?” Kong Qingming was so shocked when he saw Qiu Lili that he didn’t even realize what was happening.

His foot was indeed broken by that signboard.

“How’s… Tianyi?” Soon, Kong Qingming saw Lu Tianyi who as carried on Qiu Lili’s back.

“He’s still alive. I think we can still save him if we bring him back. But you… How am I supposed to bring back two men?” Qiu Lili replied, then asked a question.

“Leave… leave me here… Just bring him back!” Kong Qingming endured the pain which came from his entire body and said to her weakly.

“No. Qiaoqiao has told me to bring both of you back,” Qiu Lili shook her head. She thought for a moment, then fixed her eyes on Kong Qingming’s waist and said, “This is the only way!”

Kong Qingming looked at her confusedly.

Then, he saw Qiu Lili bend over slightly to drag him up from the ground, with Lu Tianyi carried on her back. Both he and Lu Tianyi weighed over fifty kilograms each.

She held his arm and dragged him up from the ground. She did that effortlessly, and Kong Qingming felt that the hand which was holding his arm was very strong.

‘Zombies do have a great strength …’ he thought.

Before he finished thinking, his body was turned around, and then an arm was put around his waist. After that, he was lifted up.

“Eh…” He was stunned when he realized what position he was in.

Qiu Lili put an arm around his waist and carried him on one side of her body, then flew up into the sky.

With one man carried on her back and one carried with her arm, Qiu Lili released her wind power and flew toward Upper City District.

“No! Wait… wait… What about our Deputy Chief Yan…” Kong Qingming recovered from the shock, then suddenly realized that it wasn’t the time for him to worry about himself yet. Yan Fangyu was still on the run.

“Just pay attention to yourselves. You nearly died. Why are you still worrying about that disgusting woman?” said Qiu Lili unhappily.

“But… it’s our… mission…” While speaking, Kong Qingming started to lose his consciousness. If he weren’t worrying about Yan Fangyu’s safety, he would have fainted already.

“Are you dumb? That is your mission, but you need to stay alive to accomplish it!” Qiu Lili didn’t understand why some people thought that missions were more important than their lives.

Kong Qingming had spent his time in the army, so he had been putting great importance on missions. But now, Qiu Lili’s words woke up him up a little. She was right. It was the post-apocalyptic era now. His life should be more important…

However, there was one problem. “If… she died… people will think that… your base… killed..”

Before finishing his talk, he moaned in pain.

“Stop talking! They might think that way, but so what? They’re gonna need evidence to frame us. Aren’t you two witnesses? Or, do you think that the level-seven wind-powered person who attacked you just now was from our base?” said Qiu Lili carelessly.

“Besides, your Chief will find out the truth, won’t he? Why wouldn’t he wonder if we were framed?”

Kong Qingming didn’t respond because he was too weak to say anything, also because he found her words making sense. In order to frame Upper City Base, the people who just attacked him needed to kill all three of them. If any one of them survived, people would know that the Upper City Base people didn’t do it.

“Therefore, as long as you two stay alive, we’re gonna be fine!” Qiu Lili said relaxedly, then raised her speed to head back faster. As for that woman, she didn’t care about her at all. In fact, Qiu Lili wished that she would die, so that she and her friends wouldn’t need to kill her themselves in a couple of days!

How dare she thought of Upper City Base as a pushover!
