“Hehe…” Lin Qiao glanced at his hand with a smile.

Right at that moment, Hu Zhiyong immediately sensed a heart-piercing pain from that hand that he touched Lin Qiao with just now.

“Ouch… You… You!” His expression changed suddenly. Then, he covered that hand with the other and glared at Lin Qiao with disbelief. Clearly, he didn’t believe that she would really poison him.

“I suggest you chop off this hand as soon as possible or you might die soon,” Lin Qiao sat down and put one elbow on the table, tilting her head and resting her chin on a palm. She erased the smile on her face and said to Hu Zhiyong in a cold tone.

The others didn’t see that coming either. They looked at Lin Qiao with confusion and surprise, as they didn’t believe that she had the courage to poison a level-seven man at such an occasion, in front of so many base leaders.

Wu Chengyue soon realized what happened, so he gave Hu Zhiyong a cold smile and said in his head— ‘You deserve it.’

“You! When did you poison me!” Hu Zhiyong tremblingly stood up from the chair and moved away from Lin Qiao.

He didn’t chop off his hand as Lin Qiao told him to. Instead, he gathered his energy in that hand and tried to force the poison out. Meanwhile, he glared at her and asked her that question through clenched teeth; that pain was torturing him.

Soon, he realized that he wasn’t even able to stop the poison from spreading inside his body. While he was talking, the pain spread to his forearm from his palm, then reached the rest of his arm.

At that moment, his face was covered in sweat, with blood veins bulging on his forehead. He tightened his pale face and looked in a great pain.

At that moment, Gao Haoyun suddenly raised a hand and froze that arm of Hu Zhiyong. After that, he glanced at Lin Qiao while blinking.

Lin Qiao shrugged and said carelessly, “Well, leave it frozen then. It won’t be frozen for long though.”

Instead of burning Hu Zhiyong’s hands directly with the dark fire, she sent the dark mist into his body. Due to the slight amount, the mist was only able to travel through his veins. That would be very painful. Currently, the mist was frozen by Gao Haoyun, who was at level-eight, a level higher than Lin Qiao. Therefore, her power was suppressed for the time being. But once the ice melted, Hu Zhiyong would immediately suffer that burning pain again.

Si Kongchen looked at Hu Zhiyong, then at Lin Qiao, his eyes showing a meaningful look.

Lin Qiao looked at him right in the eyes. She thought that he would speak for Hu Zhiyong, but to her surprise, he only looked at her quietly, with no expression. Even his eyes wore a very calm and peaceful look, hiding his real feelings so well.

Hu Zhiyong let out a long breath in relief as Gao Haoyun froze his arm. The quick switch from burning to freezing really exhausted him.

As he recovered a little, he turned and stared at Lin Qiao as he threatened her through gritted teeth, with a very fierce look on his face, “Woman! What you did is suicidal! Don’t think that your poison power can allow you to do anything you want! Just wait and see!”

Lin Qiao didn’t even look at him. Instead, she said to Si Kongchen, “Chief Si, I’m afraid the people in your base can’t continue fighting for long if the situation doesn’t change. How do you prepare to break the massive zombie attack?”

She knew that Huaxia Base had run out of ammo. All kinds of bullets and bombs had sunken into the zombie crowd, but failed to stop those zombies.

Every clean area they created would be refilled by zombies right away; every group of zombies they killed would be replaced by a new group immediately. Those zombies were endless. The edge of the zombie crowd that was surrounding the tall fence wall of the base was no longer visible.

The zombie crowd reached over ten miles away. Surrounding Huaxia Base, there was no zombie-free area that could be found.

The super-powerful bombs, like missiles and nuclear bombs, couldn’t be used until they decided to give up on the base. There were two million people in the base. It was impossible to transfer all of them at one time.

Therefore, Si Kongchen would not use those destructive weapons until the last second. He had some weapons like that, but it was not yet the time to use them!

Anyway, all other kinds of bombs had nearly been used up. The short-range ones, medium-range ones… Except for the long-range ones, the other types of bombs were all gone.

However, those bombs had barely affected that constantly growing zombie crowd.

Surrounding the fence wall of Huaxia Base, not only had the living zombies piled up, but the piles of dead zombies had also been growing taller and taller as well.

The less powerful bombs had been used up while the super-powerful ones couldn’t be used yet. The other types of ammo was being consumed quickly as well. So, the whole base depended on the superpowered ones as of now.

The people who had strong superpowers hadn’t shown up yet. It was not because they didn’t want to take part in the fight. Without taking out the key factor that caused the massive zombie attack, they would be wasting their energies even if they joined the fight.

Si Kongchen silently looked at Lin Qiao, seemingly trying to see through her. “Our people haven’t collected any useful information about the thunder zone yet.”

He was trying to say that he and his people were aware that the thunder zone was what caused the massive zombie attack, and that they also knew about the zombie emperor. But currently, they couldn’t even approach the zombie emperor, or find out any information about him. Therefore, they had no idea how to deal with him.

But at the very least, they had discovered an obvious feature of the zombie emperor.

Si Kongchen glanced at Wu Chengyue.

Anyone who had eyes could tell that the zombie emperor had lightning power. No one could say for sure how big the difference between a level-eight superpowered man and a level-eight zombie could be.

Lin Qiao glanced at Gao Haoyun, then said to Si Kongchen, “As far as I know, the zombie emperor came here from Heilong Base. Chief Ice Devil, don’t you know why he is so persistent? Some of your base members died before your base was broken, right? Doesn’t that have anything to do with what is happening here?”

Si Kongchen looked at Lin Qiao. Once again, a gleam of cold light flashed across his eyes. After hearing what Lin Qiao said, he turned to Wu Chengyue.

He was surprised that the two of them actually had some detailed information about the zombie attack. He felt that Chief Lu was more than what she looked, and that feeling was growing stronger and stronger.

Facing so many powerful people, she stayed composed and fearless. Apart from that, she did not tolerate an offense, but fought back decisively and cruelty.

“Our people haven’t made any contact with that zombie emperor. We have sent out one of our Chairmen to collect information, but haven’t heard anything back from him yet. We lost contact with that level-seven chairman,” Wei Haicheng sighed and joined the conversation. Clearly, he tried to tell Lin Qiao that they were trying to figure out what the cause was, but hadn’t achieved any result yet.

“Chief Ice Devil, don’t you know what caused the zombie attack? You’re from Heilong Base after all,” Wu Chengyue said with confusion.

“Why do you think I know that?” Gao Haoyun gave a cold smile.

“Because the zombie emperor followed you here,” Wu Chengyue glanced at him with a smile.

Gao Haoyun paused briefly. That was not wrong…
