Chapter 759: Chen Hao’s Scheme

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

He spent two days but failed to find anyone he knew in the base, meaning that there was no way for him to switch a flat.

With disappointment, he returned to where he lived.

The more than a thousand Hades Survivors lived near the school in flats. The accommodations for them were actually pretty good. All Beings Base was small currently, with a small population. Therefore, the new base members were all accommodated in or near the school.

“What? Do you not want to live here? Isn’t it good to live with me?” Chen Hao who stayed in saw Lu Tong come back. He knew what the latter was doing earlier.

Lu Tong glanced around the flat. As no one else was there, he wore a cold look.

“Chen Hao, I know what you want. It’s because I know your secret, right? You are clearly aware that I’m a space possessor, and that I have registered in this place. You better not do some unnecessary thing,” Lu Tong looked at Chen Hao and said coldly.

“What unnecessary thing? Relax, I won’t do anything. Instead of being vigilant against me, you should be more careful about Wang Jian and his people. Don’t forget that it was your idea to capture them and distract zombies with them,” said Chen Hao with a smile. His ferocious-looking face looked scary even with a smile.

“It was you and your people who did it, not me. They’ll be coming after you. I’m under protection!” Lu Tong sneered. He didn’t take Chen Hao’s words seriously.

As a space possessor, he could be counted as a rare resource. Space possessors were protected in every base, because they would send out a few space possessors every time the base sent out people to collect supplies. After all, protecting a person was easier than protecting several trucks.

Lu Tong didn’t worry that Wang Jian and his men might hurt him. The issues from the outside weren’t allowed to cause troubles inside the base, meaning that he would be safe as long as he avoided exiting the base to carry out missions together with Wang Jian and his men.

However, Chen Hao lived in the same flat with him. That made it so easier for the other to hurt him in the dark.

Wang Jian and his people knew that the base didn’t allow killing. If they wanted to kill someone, they could only do it on the outside. Therefore, even though Wang Jian and his men seemed to even want to bite Li Honglin and his people to death, they couldn’t do anything but ease their anger and stand aside.

“Don’t pass the buck to us,” Chen Hao clicked his tongue and said, “That day will come sooner or later… You just wait and see. At the very least, I won’t do anything to you as long as you keep my secret, which you will I believe.” Chen Hao looked at him confidently.

“Of course, I will! But, if you dare to try and hurt me, things might change,” Lu Tong nodded as his pretty and pale face showed a calm look. It seemed that he had really surrendered to Chen Hao.

Chen Hao looked at him as he blinked and grinned, but didn’t say anything else.

Right at that moment, someone came in: it was a subordinate of Chen Hao. Earlier on, Chen Hao had sent him out to gather information.

The man gave Lu Tong a cold glance, then turned to Chen Hao and said, “Boss, we learned something.”

Chen Hao stood up, then turned and walked into his own room while saying, “Come in.”

They lived in a flat with three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a bathroom, and a kitchen. The flat was large, so five or six people were arranged to live there. Two people shared one room.

“The leader of this place is a woman who is very mysterious. According to the others, she’s like the old leader of Hades Base.” After entering the room, the man walked to Chen Hao’s side and said to him with a low voice.

“Woman? Mysterious? How? Is she like Netherworld Fire? Does she look like her or something else?” Chen Hao asked with surprise.

“It’s a woman, a pretty one, I heard. People say that she’s mysterious because she hardly shows up in the base. The base is basically being run by Deputy Chief Yuan and Lin Feng, who’s also a Deputy Chief now. The Chief is a pretty woman, but she doesn’t look like Chief Netherworld Fire. She is young, only in her twenties. I heard that she’s like Chief Netherworld Fire because of her… vibe or presence. They are both strong and decisive,” said the man.

Chen Hao frowned slightly as he thought for a moment, then said, “Is Lin Feng a Deputy Chief now?”

“Yes,” the man nodded and continued, “Not only that, he has upgraded to level-seven.”

“What! Isn’t he at level-six anymore?” Chen Hao was surprised. He slightly widened his eyes and looked at his subordinate, as he couldn’t believe the fact that Lin Feng was already at level-seven.

It had only been half a year. Lin Feng broke into level-six not long before he escaped from Hades Base. How could he enter level-seven so soon?

“Boss, not only Lin Feng… Deputy Chief Yuan has also upgraded to level-seven! I also heard that the Chief lady of this base has a group of mysterious subordinates, all at high-levels. They’re as secretive as the Chief lady,” said the man with great interest.

Chen Hao stayed silent for a short while and then said, “No wonder this base is built so near Sea City Base. I guess that Chief Lady is a capable one. Have you found out about Lin family yet?”

“Eh… a little… We didn’t dare to do that openly. We just got here after all…” The subordinates said with hesitation. He paused briefly to think for a moment, then continued carefully, “Boss, every Lin Family member is important in this base now. Lin Feng is a Deputy Chief, Lin Hao is one of the leaders of the Science Department as well as the leader of the Medical Department. Lin Wenwen is the head of the supply-collecting group. She’s no longer that little princess who needs protection. What are you gonna…”

He didn’t finish his question, but looked at Chen Hao.

“It’s okay. We’re not gonna do anything to them. We’re only going to do something and make them suspect Lu Tong. We can’t hurt Lu Tong directly, and he will never leave the base. So, we might as well let the people who run the base deal with him,” said Chen Hao with cold laughter. What came out of his eyes was the intention of killing.

“What should we do then? Boss, what do you have in your mind? We’d be screwed if we got exposed,” said the man with concern. He didn’t want to support Chen Hao, but didn’t dare to say that out loud either.

“We don’t need to do it. We’ll let Wang Jian and his men do it. We just need to make some secret moves,” Chen Hao gave a wicked grin, then crooked his finger and signaled for his subordinate to bring an ear near him. “Come here and let me tell you about it. We need to find out a way to bring Lin Feng’s daughter…”

While Chen Hao was whispering to his subordinate about the plan, Lin Qiao was escorted to Lin Hao’s place for a check-up by Mrs. Lin and Lin Wenwen.

Mrs. Lin was talking to her worryingly, “I didn’t want you to go all the way to Hidden Cloud City Base to attack them, but I knew that you wouldn’t listen to me. Now, you have to think about the baby. You are pregnant. You are now responsible for not only your life, but also the baby’s. If there are any heavy works to do, just let Lin Feng and Tianxing do it…”
