Zombie Sister Strategy

As Wu Chengyue was feeling the energy erupt, both his power and vibe were growing rapidly. Sizzling purple lightning bolts started emerging from all over his body.

Lin Qiao looked at him, sensing his growing power. The eruptive energy was still under his control. At last, the energy quieted down, and his vibe stabilized. However, that vibe of his had become depressing and suffocating.

Rumbling thunders were heard from the sky, as though lightning bolts would fall at any time.

Wu Chengyue absorbed the energy surrounding him and opened his eyes. Only after a series of purple electric currents flashed across his eyes did those eyes turn black again. Next, he raised a hand and clenched his fist.

Sizzle! A burst of lightning flashed across his fist.

He turned to look at Lin Qiao from head to toe. Two seconds later, he asked, “How come nothing happened to you?”

Lin Qiao shrugged and said, “Maybe the drug is ineffective on zombies.”

Wu Chengyue stayed quiet for a short while and then looked at her deep in the eyes, saying, “You and Teng should get into the space now. I’m going for the monster. Don’t bring Teng out unless I lose.”

“Are you going to fight it alone?” Lin Qiao asked.

Wu Chengyue looked at her and said, “Your problem can wait. Now, we need to deal with the monster and Si Kongchen. After that, you can do whatever you want.”

He had figured out that Lin Qiao must have some secret plans. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken the journey with him.

Lin Qiao thought for a moment and nodded, “Alright. But if you can’t defeat it, I’ll do what I want to do, and I want you to stay out of it.”

Wu Chengyue had forced himself into level-nine with the help of the potion. But still, he wasn’t as strong as the monster.

Wu Chengyue nodded at Lin Qiao and turned to head toward Huaxia Base. At the same time, Lin Qiao disappeared from where she was.

Right at that point, the tornado had hit Huaxia Base. It tore the cement off the buildings and brought the cement pieces, glass, metals, and other parts of the buildings into the sky.

The twenty-six cannons in the base were still charging; they weren’t ready yet.

Si Kongchen had drawn back to the roof of a building that was located in the outer sector of the base, far away from the tornado. Wei Haichao and the others were still staying at the entrance of the underground shelter. They needed to keep the gate of the shelter from being lifted up by the wind using their energy shields.

Wei Haichao, Han Xiao, Liu Zhinan, and the others had all brought themselves from level-seven to level-eight using the drug. The effect of the drug could only last for a limited amount of time. Therefore, they saved it until the last minute and didn’t take the drug until Wu Chengyue arrived.

Once Wu Chengyue broke into level-nine, both Si Kongchen and the monster that was hovering in the sky gave him a glance. Si Kongchen was surprised, because he hadn’t been expecting to see Wu Chengyue at this time. He sensed the other’s vibe and found it similar to the vibe that he had had once after taking the power-boosting drug.

Did he…

As that possibility popped in his head, he changed countenance and twisted his face with anger, hatred, disbelief, and confusion. Those complicated, interweaving emotions even distorted his face.

At that very moment, Wei Haichao suddenly showed up by his side. Wei Haichao looked at him and said, “You felt it, didn’t you? We asked him for help. We had to do that for the base.”

“So you betrayed me?” Si Kongchen glared at him fiercely.

Wei Haichao responded to him with a peaceful tone, “I didn’t betray anyone. Don’t you forget that I’m a member of Huaxia Base, not your subordinate.”

Si Kongchen glared at him but didn’t say anything. He couldn’t think of any words to argue with Wei Haichao.

“We might still have a chance to win if you fight the monster together with Wu Chengyue,” Wu Chengyue continued.

“You want me to join hands with him?” said Si Kongchen through clenched teeth, “Is he willing to do that?”

“You won’t be able to get away from the monster anyway. The only way to solve the problem is to defeat it. To do that, you need Wu Chengyue’s help. Or, are you thinking about running away alone?”

He might not be able to run even if he wanted to. He had no choice.

Wei Haichao planned that result, which was why he could still talk to Si Kongchen so calmly. He knew that the latter would be infuriated, but also would think about his current situation carefully.

As he expected, Si Kongchen stayed silent. He glared at Wei Haichao so wrathfully that his dagger eyes even seemed to create holes in Wei Haichao’s body. After about thirty minutes of silence, Si Kongchen said coldly, “You invited Wu Chengyue here and provided him with the power-boosting drug. But, do you think the drug can allow him to kill the level-nine underground creature? Stop dreaming! Not even the cannons can kill the monster. He has mere lightning power. What do you expect him to do?”

Then, he turned to look at the inner sector of Huaxia Base, which was already devoured by the tornado, and suddenly gave a weird smile. “You want Wu Chengyue to deal with the monster,” he said, “So let him do it. I’d like to see how he’s gonna deal with that problem.”

“Are you going to leave? You know that you can’t leave. It’ll follow you,” Wei Haichao glanced at him with a frown. He had guessed that Si Kongchen might want to run but hadn’t been expecting to see him do that for real.

“Who said that I’m leaving? I’ll stay here and watch. You want me to fight together with Wu Chengyue? I wonder why you have such naive thoughts. I’ve told you that I’d like to see how Wu Chengyue is going to deal with the monster alone,” Si Kongchen looked at him like he was an idiot.

Wei Haichao said to him coldly, “You don’t want to help, fine. From now on, Huaxia Base has nothing to do with you anymore. There will be a new Chief.”

“You think Huaxia Base is still going to be like before?” Si Kongchen said with a scornful, frosty smile, “This is a disaster area now. Whoever wants it can have it. I don’t care.”

Wei Haichao nodded as he turned and left without saying anything else.

At that very moment, the eruption of a new type of level-nine energy was sensed.

Si Kongchen immediately put on a sullen look. That energy belonged to Lan Lu. He had entered level-nine as well. It seemed that he had taken the drug too.

So currently, there were three level-nine superpower possessors on the scene, not including Si Kongchen himself.
