Chapter 1128: The Poisonous Woods Down the Mountain

Before Lan Lu and the others could react, the black wolf king jumped off the cliff right after the level-nine man. Only after watching the wolf jump did they come back to their senses.
“Qingqing, find a way to stop those Huaxia people!” Lan Lu quickly gave out his order and then jumped off the cliff as well.
“Roar!” Soon, a wolf roar was heard from down the cliff. Under the cliff was not a river or a lake, but a forest. The cliff was only tens of meters tall, but the forest at its foot was a world of poisonous insects and gas.
The forest was suffused with a thick, poisonous gas. All the plants and animals in the woods were poisonous. Commoners or low-leveled superpower possessors would either be poisoned to death by the gas or bitten to death by the insects, or killed by mutated plants or animals once they came in. It was impossible for weak living beings to defend themselves effectively in the woods.
In that place, human lives could be very fragile!
As the wolf king and Lan Lu jumped off the cliff one after another, an agitated vibe was instantly sensed from behind the area where the wolf was.
“Roar!” A thunderous roar was heard, quaking the ground and the plants. Soon, an enormous mutated bear rushed over.
The bear rushed to the cliff edge on all fours, then stood up and widely opened its mouth to give a raging roar.
“Roar!”
Its vibe spread along with its deafening roar and startled the birds and animals in the surrounding forest, making them fly and run, also suppressing the people nearby. The commoners had their hearts shaken. They coughed blood and then fell to the ground, losing consciousness. Some of them had their hearts stop beating and died. Most of them passed out with blood flowing out of their mouths, ears, noses, and eyes.
“Whooo…”The wolf herd let out a wave of deep roar in fear and then fled with their tails between their legs. The wolf king would, of course, not bring the low-leveled one with it. Among the herd, about ten were at level-seven while the rest were all at level five or six. None of them was below level-five.
Facing the gigantic bear’s oppressive vibe, they could only fall back. The bear’s vibe didn’t affect them strongly though.
The bear’s vibe didn’t only linger in the cliff area, but had also spread to hundreds of miles away. As a result, Lin Qiao sensed it immediately and her eyes glowed. “Eh? Level-eight… Is that a mutated beast?”
Duan Juan, who was driving, didn’t sense it as clearly as Lin Qiao did, but she indeed felt an oppressive vibe coming at her. Thankfully, she managed to stay calm and did not drive the car to the side. Hearing Lin Qiao’s words, she instantly figured out what was going on.
“Level-eight? Where?” Duan Juan asked.
“Where we’re heading to. I think the beast is not far away from Lan Lu. It seems Lan Lu’s Chief didn’t just attract humans,” Lin Qiao spent a moment carefully sensing the beast’s vibe and then said.
Duan Juan said with surprise, “Has he attracted mutated beasts too? It makes sense though. Some mutated beasts at level seven or eight tend to be very smart now, especially those predators. I guess the level-nine superpower possessor is in a quite dangerous situation.”
Lin Qiao nodded and sighed, “Hopefully, Lan Lu can hang on until we get there. But, letting the beast have the level-nine energy nucleus is better than letting Si Kongchen have it.”
Duan Juan turned and gave her a glance with confusion, “Aren’t you going to help? Why do you sound like you don’t care about the man’s life at all?”
Lin Qiao glanced back at her and responded, “I am going to help, but I can’t guarantee his safety. Will I possibly be able to stop him if he detonates himself? All I’m going to do is to keep some people from attaining his nucleus.”
“That’s a bit wicked, isn’t it?” Duan Juan looked at her and said.
Lin Qiao shrugged as she said blandly, “I’ll surely help them as long as I can. But, if it’s beyond my power, I can’t force myself into saving them, can I?”
Being left behind by Lan Lu to stop Huaxia people, Chang Qingqing glanced back at the people behind her with a bitter face. The ones below level-five were powerless under this situation. Even she herself wasn’t a strong fighter either!
“Come with me!” Still, Chang Qingqing gathered the people who were able to fight and approached the group of Huaxia people.
“Launch long-range attacks, use your brains. Don’t go too close to them. Pay attention to their weapons.”
“Yes, ma’am!”
At that time, the commoners on Huaxia Base’s side had all fallen. Hou Guozhong and Wei Haizhao had brought quite some superpowered soldiers though. Currently, at least a hundred men under their command still had the capacity to fight.
“Put on your masks. We’re going down as well!” Hou Guozhong didn’t take Chang Qingqing and her people seriously. After watching his target jump off the cliff, he quickly ordered his men to take the gear and get ready to jump to bring down the prey.
“Lan Lu might be fighting the wolf king. If we go down now, we’ll have the best chance. Hurry up!” Wei Haichao gave his order too.
“Yes, Sir!”
“I hope that level-nine man dies from the fall,” Hou Guozhong murmured.
“That’s not gonna happen.” Wei Haichao refuted him in the next second. “That guy possesses super strength. Even though he’s running out of energy, he’s still super strong. He’s at level-nine after all. How can he possibly die of falling?”
Hou Guozhong shrugged, “Can’t I even think about that? What if it really happened?” After saying that, he turned and disappeared.
Lin Qiao followed Lan Lu’s vibe and approached the cliff area. Not only did she sense the vibe of the level-nine man, but she also sensed the level-eight Lan Lu, and more than one level-eight mutated beasts.
“Two level-eight mutated beasts!” Lin Qiao sensed the beasts’ special scents. She and her troop stopped moving, then she stood on top of a hill while carefully feeling the waves of vibes.
“Eh? Not one?” Duan Juan stood behind her and asked.
“I felt them too. There are two mutated beasts, both strong and aggressive,” Lin Kui nodded. After saying that, he glanced at Yan Huiguang, who had been staying silent. Yan Huiguang had his eyes on the level-nine man all the time. He must have known about the man’s situation.
However, he didn’t seem to tell Lin Qiao about it, who didn’t ask him either.
Lin Qiao didn’t need him to tell her anything. She already knew everything that she needed to know. She was going to the site to help, and she was able to sense the power levels of her opponents.
“I sensed a strange smell from where they are. I guess they have run into someplace filled with poisonous gas,” Lin Qiao sniffed around and carefully sensed the special scent before figuring out what kind of place it was.
“Let’s go!” She abruptly gave an order and then disappeared from the hilltop. After arriving at the area, she put her cars back into her space because there was no road for driving.

Chapter 1129: Have Faith in Her
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the All Beings Base, Lin Feng and the others were sitting in the office, wearing deep frowns.
Lin Wenwen had really gone missing. Did she make herself disappear? Did anyone take her? She didn’t seem to have been taken because Qiu Lili had sent out a great number of zombie soldiers to search for her scent, but not even a trace of hers was found.
After finishing his work in Sea City Base, Wu Chengyue made his way to All Being Base as soon as possible. No one had a clue where Lin Wenwen was, so all he could do was help find her.
He wouldn’t stop until she was found.
That night, Li Yue Shan brought another piece of bad news to Wu Chengyue.
“Did you say that Si Kongchen is secretly headed to the Northwest? Since when?” Wu Chengyue asked expressionlessly, the smile on his face gone.
“He left his base this morning. I think he should be on his way now,” Li Yue Shan stood straight on Wu Chengyue’s left side as he reported to him. The latter landed his eyes on the ground and slightly knitted his brows as he fell into thoughts.
Si Kongchen was already on his way to the Northwest, meaning that he wanted to get the level-nine energy nucleus by himself, and that he was confident. The level-nine man was probably running out of energy. It was about time for the people who had eyes on him to make a move.
The zombie lady and Lan Lu should be able to stop Si Kongchen by combining their powers. Lan Lu even had a chance against Si Kongchen alone, but even the two of them might not be able to kill the man. After all, Lin Qiao only broke into level-eight not long ago.
Without a question, zombies were always stronger than the other creatures at their levels. Therefore, if Lin Qiao picked up a fight against Si Kongchen, she might have a great chance of winning unless he used some destructive weapons.
However, Si Kongchen would not be alone. His subordinates and soldiers couldn’t be neglected, especially with their weapons. The weapons that Huaxia Base owned nowadays were much stronger than they had before and could definitely not be underestimated.
Judging by the current situation, Lan Lu and his people were not in a lethal crisis. However, things might change if some unpredictable twists happened.
“How’s the level-nine man doing?” Wu Chengyue thought for a moment and then decided to first learn about the frontline situation.
Li Yue Shan shook his head and said, “Not good. The last movement he made was to run up to a cliff and jump. Down the cliff is a forest filled with poisonous gas. It’s highly dangerous. Also, apart from the people on the scene, some mutated beasts also have their eyes on the man.”
Hearing him mention mutated beasts, Wu Chengyue had his heart sinking. “So, there was a twist,” he said, “Which level are those beasts at?”
“Eight. There are two of them,” Li Yue Shan answered his question after two seconds of silence.
“Two?” Wu Chengyue quickly raised his eyes and looked at the other.
Li Yue Shan nodded and said, “Yes, a wolf king and a bear, both at level-eight.”
“Did they jump off the cliff too?” Wu Chengyue asked.
Li Yue Shan nodded again, “Yes. After the level-nine man jumped, the black wolf, Lan Lu, the mutated bear, Hou Guozhong and Wei Haichao from Huaxia Base jumped one after another.”
Wu Chengyue leaned against the chair back and folded his arms as he thought for a moment and said, “What about Chief Lu? Where is she?”
“As far as I know, she was near the area when they jumped. She should be finding the target soon.”
“So, Si Kongchen isn’t there yet, is he?” Wu Chengyue spent a short while pondering over the situation of the level-nine man. If Lin Qiao arrived at the site before Si Kongchen, Si Kongchen wouldn’t have a good chance to approach the man. However, two level-eight mutated beasts were also on the scene. Lan Lu couldn’t possibly deal with both of them all by himself unless the two beasts fought each other over the prey.
Lan Lu was a smart man. He would certainly find a way to turn the two beasts against each other, then find a chance to rescue his Chief. So, Lin Qiao the zombie wouldn’t be in any danger.
With that thought, Wu Chengyue’s concern was eased. He sighed with relief and said, “Keep a close eye on that area. If anything new happens, let me know as soon as possible.”
“Yes, sir,” Li Yue Shan responded quickly, but he looked at Wu Chengyue silently after that.
“Anything else?” Wu Chengyue glanced at him bewilderedly.
“Aren’t you going there?” Li Yue Shan didn’t understand, “What if Miss. Lu has an accident… or something like that.”
Wu Chengyue smiled, “Do you really think that she’s still Lu Tianyu? Don’t worry. She’s strong. I believe that she won’t put herself in danger. We still don’t know who’s going to win yet.”
Unlike him, Li Yue Shan had no idea that it was Lin Qiao’s soul inside Lu Tianyu’s body, and that she was already a completely different person. So, he didn’t understand where his boss got the confidence from.
Was it because of love? Did he believe in her power because he loved her? Or, did he do that to protect his future wife’s dignity?
As a single man, Li Yue Shan couldn’t figure it out, so he turned and left with confusion.
After watching him leave, Wu Chengyue sighed and said, “Her problem isn’t a problem. Her sister’s problem is a real problem.”
…
Lin Wenwen, who had somehow jumped back to seven years ago, looked at the few people sitting before her and then at the outside. Just now, as those people weren’t paying attention to her, she ran into the toilet and searched through all her pockets, finding something that stated her identity.
The chubby girl was named Dong Xinxin, seventeen years old, in third year of junior high.
She was short and fat for sure. She had a handsome brother, and her brother had a bunch of pretty friends. Even worse, although her brother was really nice to her, he always brought pretty girls to her.
Well, specifically, those girls came to her.
Her warm, sunny, good-looking brother currently had no interest in girls, and his EQ was a disaster. He rarely even took a glance at those girls who brought themselves to him. So, some of those girls shamelessly approached his little sister. In order to get close to him, they decided to first become friends with his beloved little sister.
Of course, that was what Lin Wenwen learned after spending a few hours with the four young people.
The two college girls seemed to want to be close friends with her, but they obviously didn’t like her. Lin Wenwen, as a girl who was turning thirty, could surely feel that.
