After that, Lin Kui started trying everything he could to hunt zombies for their nuclei and upgrade slowly. He didn’t know why would hair grow out all over his body every time he was in a fighting mode. His strength grew much stronger along with his hair though…

He wagged his tail as he turned and darted deeper into the woods. He was a panther, so the woods were his realm too.

The weird female zombie let him go and learn about his current situation. He went near to the research institute and heard the conversations between the people near that building. Then, he found that every entrance on the main road between the outer and base and the inner base had been blocked, guarded by heavily armored soldiers.

A lot of squads formed by superpowered people had been searching around the base for something. The entire base in a tense atmosphere.

Lin Kui couldn’t help but start to believe what the female zombie had said.

Those people were really looking for him! However, before he confirmed about the so-called antidote, he didn’t fully believe that female zombie.

He grasped an opportunity to hear some researcher talking, then learned that a batch of anti-zombie antidote had indeed been produced. However, he was spotted before he figured out where the antidote was stored.

Normal bullets and superpowers surely couldn’t hurt him. He rarely took the initiative to hurt humans, but this time, he chose to fight back when those people attacked him.

At that point, Lin Kui’s hands were covered in blood, his beast eyes sparkling with a cold light. A cold and sharp vibe could be detected from his eyes, and a strong intention of killing gathered on him.

Sensing that a lot of people were chasing behind him, Lin Kui started restraining his vibe. Then, he took a detour to head back to where he came from. When he hid his vibe deliberately, not even a plant-power possessor could detect the change of his location immediately.

The roads leading to the outer space and all been blocked, but zombies could climb walls! That was how the level-seven zombie successfully exited the inner space and entered the farm area.

Wei Haichao abruptly stopped moving and looked around with a frown. Next, he pressed a hand on a tree and spent a few seconds sensing carefully, then kept moving toward where Lin Kui was.

Since not long ago, the zombie’s vibe had become faint. The deeper he went into the farm, the fainter that vibe became. For that reason, Wei Haichao knitted his brows, as he was having a bad feeling.

He glanced back and found that no one was behind him. He was there, chasing the zombie alone. He clearly understood that Si Kongchen only sealed off the base to show the people from the other bases how serious it was. However, seeing that those walls delivered no effect to that zombie which was free again, he couldn’t help but complain about how useless those guards were.

Why wasn’t Si Kongchen there yet? Wei Haichao didn’t want to fight that zombie face-to-face. That was a zombie dominator! Even though it hadn’t recovered to its peak state, he still didn’t dare to rush straight up to it. So, he decided to wait until Si Kongchen arrived.

Si Kongchen had sent out his own people to move that zombie to another location. But, why did that zombie run out for real? Did Si Kongchen let it out on purpose? Why? If that was true, he wouldn’t be able to frame the people from the other bases, would he? Also, the board didn’t approve that part of the action, did they?

How dare he release the zombie? Wasn’t he afraid that it might run away? Wei Haichao decided to mind less about it. Someone had informed Si Kongchen anyway. He only needed to keep track of that zombie. If it really ran away, the blame would be Si Kongchen’s to take.

While Wei Haichao was still following that zombie’s vibe from a long distance away and waiting for Si Kongchen to come and get the zombie himself, a dark figure flashed up behind him.

He immediately turned around, but saw nothing there.

He looked around alarmedly, turning his head from left to right. All of a sudden, he bent over and made a roll on the ground. After that, a dark figure descended from the air and charged at him.

Before he could struggle up from the ground, a sharp beam of light flashed toward his face. His heart flipped as he hurriedly crossed his arms before his face to shield himself. Meanwhile, the skin on his both hands immediately turned deep brown, as coarse as the skin of a tree. Clearly, he was using his superpower.

Puff! A clear claw scratched his withered-tree-like arms, then a leg was swung sideways toward him.

Wei Haichao didn’t manage to dodge and the kick landed on his waist, sending him flying away.

Thud! He bumped into a fruit tree nearby.

He wasn’t injured though. Instead, he nimbly rolled forward, then spread his fingers as if he was trying to grasp something in the air. After that, he swung his arms toward the black panther which was pouncing on him again.

Following his movement, the trees on his both sides fell to the ground and started growing rapidly.

Puff! The black panther jumped into the thriving leaves. While he cut off the branches before him with his claw, Wei Haichao had already disappeared.

Lin Kui narrowed his eyes and sniffed around, then darted out in one direction.

A level-seven human could never be a match for a level-seven zombie. Added with the fact that animal power suppressed plant power naturally, Wei Haichao was clearly aware that he wouldn’t be able to win against that zombie.

However, that zombie had actually given up on running, but came back to attack him. In that way, he didn’t need to keep chasing it.

He mixed his own scent with that of the trees near him, then stuck half of his head out from behind a tree, looking at the giant panther which was rushing at him.

Lin Kui rushed over and then stopped, looking around with a pair of piercing eyes. He knew that that person was a possessor of plant power, and that he was using the scents of the plants to hide.

His attack failed. He looked around, then suddenly turned and quickly hopped onto a tree nearby, moving deeper into the woods.

He would be able to locate that person if he spent a longer time. However, he didn’t want to do that, because he had sensed that a stronger vibe was approaching. He figured that he should better hide.

On the other side, Si Kongchen flew into the farm, heading toward where Wei Haichao was.

Wei Haichao showed up before him.

“Where’s Macuy?” Si Kongchen swiftly landed by his side.

“He just ran that way!” Wei Haichao immediately pointed the way that Lin Kui chose.

Si Kongchen instantly leaped high and flashed in that direction. Only after that did Wei Haichao sighed with relief. Then, he saw a large group of soldiers rushing over, carrying their guns. Leading those soldiers was Li Yuelong, a direct subordinate of Wei Haichao.

“Mr. Wei, how’s it going? Where’s Macuy?” Li Yuelong asked once he got close.

“Over there,” Wei Haichao pointed that way with his chin and then started moving, “Keep up.”

“Keep up!” Li Yuelong immediately turned to yell at the troop behind him.
