Chapter 897: A Few Rats

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Wu Chengyue brought Lin Qiao into a room on the top floor of a tall building and then put her down. After that, he didn’t do anything else but keep holding her hands. It seemed that he would stay quiet as long as she was with him.

In fact, it was her aroma that had been keeping him quiet. Of course, Lin Qiao didn’t know about that.

Soon, Sea City Base people heard that Wu Chengyue had lost his mind. But, under the orders from Xiao Yunlong and Zou Shihui, that news didn’t spread.

“Why now? What should we do? Who has the power to wake him up?” Xiao Yunlong furrowed his brows and said with anxiety, suffering a serious headache.

The people from Huaxia Base and the other bases were coming to Sea City Base to talk about the deal. However, at that very point in time, the strongest man in their base had gone crazy. Those people would certainly make some unwanted moves as Wu Chengyue wouldn’t be there to guard his base. So, they mustn’t know about it.

Zou Shihui was wearing a deep frown as well. He was a lot calmer than Xiao Yunlong though. He thought for a moment and then said, “Can’t Miss Lu from All Beings Base turns herself invisible? She should be no weaker than you and I. If even she cannot fix him, what else can we possibly do? We might not even be able to get close to Wu Chengyue.”

He was right. Except for Miss Lu, no one else was strong enough to knock him out and be able to approach him.

“So, she’s out only hope… What if she fails? What should we do? Are we gonna watch him stay crazy?” said Xiao Yunlong.

Obviously, he believed that the zombie lady wouldn’t succeed so easily. In his eyes, Wu Chengyue was super, super strong!

Zou Shihui looked at him and responded with a sigh, “Don’t be so negative. She might be able to fix the problem. Besides, our first priority now is to make sure no one else knows about this.”

“Yes, that’s for sure,” Xiao Yunlong put on a serious look.

The people from Sea City Base and All Beings Base pinned their hope on Lin Qiao. However, little did they know that Lin Qiao had been trying everything to look for an opportunity to attack Wu Chengyue. But every time she did it, he would look straight at her, and then she would have to drop her hand.

A couple of times later, Lin Qiao finally learned that Wu Chengyue had very keen sensations. He would discover it once she had that intention. However, he didn’t do anything to her every time he detected her intent, but only looked at her with a pair of cold and pretty eyes.

Every time he looked at Lin Qiao with those slightly red eyes, Lin Qiao would somehow feel guilty and struggle a little, as if she had done something bad.

Duan Juan, Xiao Licheng, and their people took cover hundreds of meters away from Wu Chengyue’s building. They carried the objects that contained Lin Qiao’s blood, so the zombies near them had moved far away. They only needed to look out for mutated creatures.

“Chief’s energy seems to have eased down again. But, I don’t think he has woken up. What on earth is his condition like right now?” Xiao Licheng carefully sensed the vibe from the top floor. All he could feel was his Chief’s calmed vibe.

Earlier on, his Chief’s vibe disappeared for a short while and soon reappeared. By that time, his vibe was agitated, and it soon moved into the city. As he and his people followed the vibe to the city, he found it growing stable again.

Did he wake up or not?

His Chief was special even when he lost his mind and fell into madness.

Duan Juan and Shen Yujen looked at Xiao Licheng with confusion, both shaking their heads.

Other superpowered people crazily released their energies when they lost their minds, but unlike them, Wu Chengyue only cause lightning strikes from time to time. However, the thunder never stopped rumbling in the sky.

Did he really lose the control of himself or not? What on earth was he doing? He was known as the most powerful human being, but… his energy did seem to run crazy. It wasn’t as scary as people thought it would be anyways.

Despite that, those people still didn’t dare to get closer, and feel how out-of-control Chief Wu was at closer range.

“Our Chief is with Chief Wu. Is it because of her?” Shen Yujen raised her head toward the top floor and sniffed the air, then turned to say to the others.

Duan Juan and Xiao Licheng looked at her. They were human beings, and their sensations weren’t as sharp as Shen Yujen’s. Hearing what she said, they both found it to be possible.

It had been so long, but Miss Lu still didn’t bring Wu Chengyue back awake. It seemed that things were troublesome for her too.

The group of people wanted to know what exactly was going on at the moment, but didn’t dare to go anywhere near the two. They were so curious, but had to stay patient.

At that time, Shen Yujen abruptly turned and sniffed toward another direction, then frowned and said to Duan Juan, “Some people are coming after you.”

On hearing that, Duan Juan immediately figured out whom she was talking about. She too furrowed her brows, her eyes showing a fierce look.

“What people?” Xiao Licheng looked at the two confusedly.

Duan Juan glanced at him, then sneered and said, “There’re a few rats. Since they’ve come here, I can’t possibly let them go.”

Then, she turned to Shen Yujen and said, “They had the courage to follow us here, so I think we should let them stay here forever. If they die out there, their death won’t have anything to do with our base anyway.”

“There’re quite some of them,” Shen Yujen looked at her and said, “We’re shorthanded. It’s gonna be a little hard for us to kill them all.”

It was a little hard, but not impossible.

Duan Juan smiled coldly and said, “Haven’t you sensed it? Look that way…” While speaking, she pointed at one direction.

Shen Yujen and Xiao Licheng looked that way but saw nothing. However, as they focused their sensations, they both sensed a faint, familiar vibe.

“That’s… Eh? Bowwow and his friends?” Shen Yujen quickly found out who they were.

Duan Juan nodded smilingly.

All the people on the scene knew about Lin Qiao’s three pets.

“But, they only listen to Chief. Will they cooperate with us?” Shen Yujen hesitated.

Xiao Licheng was completely fine with Duan Juan’s suggestion. The two ladies wanted to take out the group of ‘rats’, and so did he. After all, the fewer people knew that his Chief had gone mad, the better. Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng had blocked the leakage of the news from inside All Beings Base, but their powers didn’t cover the outside world.

Based on the attitude of Duan Juan and Shen Yujen, Xiao Licheng chose to stand on their side without thinking.
