Chapter 779: His Sister Disappeared

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Even the others could sense the hatred in Hu Zhiyong’s eyes, not to mention Lin Qiao herself.

But, before she turned back to look at him, a man stepped up behind her and blocked his sight.

“Chairman Hu, I have to remind you that you should better stay here and rest. Don’t go to the front lines. That’s too dangerous for you. What if someone accidentally shattered your arm?” While walking behind Lin Qiao, Wu Chengyue turned and said to Hu Zhiyong with his never-changing smile.

Hu Zhiyong stared at him with a sour face but didn’t say anything. His lips had even turned bluish because of the ice power, and his pale face was covered in sweat drops.

Soon, the group of people exited the building and disappeared within a blink of an eye.

Hu Zhiyong came out the last. He spent a second staring where Lin Qiao was, his eyes showing a cold, murderous intention. Next, he flashed across the air and disappeared as well.

Hundreds of meters away from the gate which was under attack, a few people showed up on top of the fence wall. At that moment, another lightning bolt descended from the sky. But, before it landed on the nearly broken gate, it turned in the air and flew to the side.

Following a sizzling noise, Wu Chengyue raised a hand and caught the lightning with a palm, then glanced around with a bland look.

“I can hold off the lightning. You guys do what you have to do,” Wu Chengyue glanced around but failed to sense the zombie emperor’s vibe. After that, he slightly turned his head and said to the others.

Si Kongchen made a step forward and looked at the dents on the metal wall near the gate. The lightning strikes were too intense, such that the metal wall was even cracked.

That area was noisy. However, all the zombies there were at very low levels. Not even a level-four could be found.

People knew that a zombie emperor was out there, but could not find even a trace of his. They needed to know where the real enemy was. But currently, they had no way of locating him.

Lin Qiao knew where he was. But, would she ever tell the others about that? Of course, she wouldn’t!

As she had said, she was there to watch, and…

She quickly glanced back at the inner area of Huaxia base.

When she came out of the command building, she moved as fast as she could to bring Lin Kui, Ye Qingxian and Mo out of her space to look for Lin Kui’s sister.

Lin Kui and the two level-six zombies hid themselves after coming out of Lin Qiao’s space, then followed his memories to sneak toward where his sister lived. He arrived in that area before long.

That was a lodging area for commoners. It used to be noisy and busy, but it was all quiet now, with very few people to be seen. All the windows were closed.

Lin Kui and the other two zombies sensed the human scents from that area. Many scents were mixed together, but none was fresh. Most of them had been fading away.

Based on the scents, they figured that many people had left that area.

Most of the males had been sent to the wall to fight against the zombies. Only the weak, ill ones, and women stayed in that area.

After arriving at the area, Lin Kui hid on a tree and carefully sniffed at the air to look for his sister’s scent. His heart slowly sank as a serious look emerged on his face.

Next, he jumped onto a roof near the tree, then leaped toward one direction. He moved fast, the two level-six zombies following behind him.

Soon, he arrived at a residential area. Some buildings with five or seven stories were densely standing in that area. Lin Kui quickly found his sister’s building and climbed down through window frames to the balcony of a flat on the fifth floor.

The balcony windows in that building were all installed with guard railings.

Lin Kui turned and looked around; the area was so quiet. No one seemed to notice that a zombie was hanging on a window on that building.

He gave an eye signal to the level-six zombie beside him. Receiving that, Mo raised a hand to create a hole on the guard railings before Lin Kui’s eyes.

After getting into the flat, Lin Kui wore a bigger frown.

No one was in the flat. It was a studio for rent, with one bedroom, one bathroom and a kitchen. The kitchen was connected with the balcony. Lin Kui had been there many times, and this place was filled with the scent that he was familiar with.

However, that lingering scent was fading. In fact, it had already become very faint. If the sense of smell that zombies had wasn’t hundreds of times better than that of dogs, Lin Kui and his zombie friends wouldn’t be able to smell that scent.

The fading smell meant that the owner of the flat hadn’t lived there for at least half a month.

The person who was supposed to live there was gone for over half a year. Where had she been?

Lin Kui looked around the flat and found the furniture pieces covered in a thin layer of dust. No daily supplies or clothes could be found. It seemed that whoever lived there had moved away.

Lin Kui had no idea where his sister moved to and why. Except for that place, he couldn’t sense his sister’s scent from anywhere in Huaxia Base.

What he could sense was only a rough range.

He thought for a moment, then quickly left the flat and climbed onto the roof. Once again, he sniffed around the building very carefully.

No… He still couldn’t sense his sister.

As his sister wasn’t in that area, Lin Kui immediately led the other two zombies to the next residential area.

Back at the entrance which was under attack, Wu Chengyue took a few lightning strikes in a row, after which, Mo Yan paused briefly.

After arriving at that area, Si Kongchen conveniently sent out a few fire dragons toward the zombie crowd.

The fire dragons dived into the zombie crowd along with scorching heat and swept the nearby zombies off the wall. Those zombies were burned into ashes before they even fell to the ground. The fire dragons flew around the fence wall and burned the zombies that were piling up in that area into puffs of black ash, dissipating in the air.

Si Kongchen looked very composed, seeming to control those fire dragons quite easily. At the same time, he was carefully observing into the distance, trying to find out where the zombie emperor was hiding while he attacked the gate.

Not only him, the others had observed the surrounding area as well, but no one discovered any trace of the zombie emperor.

Lin Qiao was the only one who had been glancing from one spot to another from time to time.

At that point, twisting lightning bolts flickered in the dark clouds again, and muffled, rumbling thunder came from the sky.

“Can’t you sense the source of his power?” Si Kongchen abruptly turned to Wu Chengyue and asked.

“I can’t,” Wu Chengyue shook his head.

He didn’t lie. He really could not locate Mo Yan by tracking the latter’s lightning power.
