Near All Beings Base. Mo Yan, the zombie emperor, moved to a clean roof and stood there until dawn. Suddenly, he turned to Sea City Base as he raised his nose and sniffed around. He blinked, his eyes showing a fierce look.
He had clearly sensed a strong vibe coming from that area.
“Roar!” ‘Assemble! ‘
Mo Yan abruptly gave a roar. Soon afterward, over ten figures swiftly leaped onto the roof. Over ten level-six zombies and a few level-seven ones all hopped onto the roof, standing at the roof edge.
Suddenly, thick dark clouds gathered above them, letting out muffled thunders.
Mo Yan raised his head and looked at the dark clouds. Purple lightning bolts gradually emerged, flashing across the clouds. Seeing that, the zombie emperor wore a surprised look.
Thunder power? What a coincidence!
Following a series of rumbling thunder, a few dazzling, purple lightning bolts descended from the sky. Within a couple of seconds, the dark sky was illuminated.
A loud sizzling noise was heard, followed by a boom. The lightning bolts fell toward those level six and seven zombies who were standing by the roof edge. Those zombies reacted fast though, as they swiftly flashed away to dodge the lightning.
The lightning struck on the roof edge and left a few cracks on the building.
Boom! Soon, another series of lightning bolts came down in a row.
Those were aimed at Mo Yan.
Mo Yan raised his head but didn’t dodge, raising a hand to catch those arm-thick lightning bolts.
Along with a loud sizzling noise, those lightning bolts landed on his palm and drilled into his body, as if something inside him was attracting the lightning.
Within a blink, those lightning bolts disappeared without a trace.
Next, Mo Yan swung his arm and sent out those lightning bolts which were absorbed by him. Those lightning bolts turned into lightning snakes, flying at another roof which was about a hundred meters away.
Those lightning snakes failed to hit the figure on the roof, but scattered and landed on the whole building.
Following the thunderous sounds, a few holes were left on the twelve-story building. Fragments of glasses and bricks flew all over the sky. Meanwhile, a few lightning bolts fell from the sky, toward the figure on the roof. The figure flashed to another building within a blink.
Wu Chengyue frowned; the zombie emperor also had lightning power. That was troublesome.
He was at level-eight, same as the zombie. However, a level-eight zombie could be much stronger than a level-eight human. If the zombie possessed a different type of power, he might have a chance to win, but the zombie turned out to be a possessor of thunder power too. Based on that fact, the result was hard to predict.
Wu Chengyue thought for a moment, then decided not to keep fighting. He leaped off the roof and moved fleetingly toward All Beings Base.
The people in All Beings Base raised their vigilance as they heard a series of thunder.
“The thunder came from that area! The zombie emperor is over there! Why the thunder?” Yun Meng stood on the roof and gazed at that area confusedly.
“It’s Wu Chengyue. I sensed his scent!” Qiu Lili twitched her nose and said.
Yun Meng raised her head and sniffed at the air, then nodded and said delightfully, “I sensed it too! Is he here to help us? Great! Let’s go downstairs to tell the others!”
While speaking, she excitedly turned and ran downstairs.
Qiu Lili kept staring at that area. The thunder faded, and then the area fell into quietness again. She was a little confused.
At that moment, a figure suddenly showed up on the roof, behind her.
Qiu Lili hurriedly turned back and saw Wu Chengyue standing behind her.
“Why are you here? Where’s Qiaoqiao?” Qiu Lili asked at the sight of him.
“Why? Am I I not welcomed?” Wu Chengyue smilingly glanced at her.
“It’s not like that… I mean, since you have come back, Qiaoqiao should be back as well,” Qiu Lili shook her head and said.
Wu Chengyue blinked, then looked at her and asked, “Who is Qiaoqiao?”
“Eh? Oh… No, Qiaoqiao is… hh, Miss. Lu’s nickname! Yes, it’s her nickname!” Hearing Wu Chengyue’s question, Qiu Lili quickly realized something.
Wu Chengyue didn’t know about Lin Qiao’s real identity yet! So, she hurriedly explained.
“Okay… I think Lu Tianyu won’t come back soon, because she didn’t receive your message. I guess she’s chasing Hidden Cloud City People to the South now,” Wu Chengyue said while heading toward the stairs.
“Huh? She didn’t get our message?” Qiu Lili followed behind him and asked anxiously.
“No, she didn’t,” Wu Chengyue replied while heading downstairs.
“What should we do then?” Qiu Lili said with a bitter face.
“So, I came here to help,” Wu Chengyue smiled.
‘Why did you come to help? This has nothing to do with you, right?’ Qiu Lili looked at him as she silently followed him to the second floor.
Before they entered the conference room on the second floor, they saw a man walking out of the room in haste. Seeing Wu Chengyue, that man smiled with a delightful surprise.
“It’s really you! Chief Wu!” Yuan Tianxing looked at Wu Chengyue, eyes showing excitement. Then, he guided Wu Chengyue into the conference room and offered him a seat. Looking at the brightening sky, he started talking impatiently, “Um… Chief Wu, have you seen the Chief of our base?”
He didn’t ask Wu Chengyue if Lin Qiao came back along with him, although under the current situation, Wu Chengyue’s presence was largely helpful for the base.
All Beings Base people had yet to know that Wu Chengyue was already at level-eight. Besides, they felt that it would be better for their own Chief to come back and solve their problem. Wu Chengyue might be able to help them to get through the crisis, but if that happened, they would owe him a favor, and would have to pay it back to him someday!
“Oh, I think she didn’t get your message. Right now, she should be chasing Lu Zhuofeng to the South. Don’t worry, I’ll protect you, at least until she’s back,” Wu Chengyue seemed to understand Yuan Tianxing’s meaning, so he said to the latter with a smile.
“I just engaged in a short battle with that zombie emperor. He has lightning power as well. Also, I noticed that he isn’t planning to launch a serious attack yet. Does he have some other purpose?” Wu Chengyue sat on the couch and picked up the cup of warm tea that Yuan Tianxing had prepared for him, taking a sip.
“He has talked with us once. Currently, he wants to bring Lili and Yun Meng away,” Yuan Tianxing glanced at Qiu Lili and Yun Meng who were sitting on the other side of the table.
