Chapter 686: Subsequent Response

Probably because the six zombies were all at a high level and were smart, Lin Qiao made them recall their names or nicknames.
The male zombie with super strength remembered his full name—Xia Ri.
The other zombie remembered his name as well—Ye Qingxian. He even remembered that he was from the North.
One of the remaining two female zombies always had a bland face. Her eyes, nose, and mouth looked average separately, but together, they made an impressive face. Her name was Mo, and she was a possessor of metal power. She was as tall as Nan Jin, about five-feet and eight-inches in height.
The other one was funny. She was short and fleshy, with a chubby face and a large tail! Her beady eyes always rolled quickly.
As same as Lin Kui, she possessed the animal power. Judging by her tail, she should be a fox.
What was funny was that she didn’t remember her name, but remembered that her nickname was Fox.
Lin Qiao was a little speechless about that.
After coming out of her space, she felt that the space in that one building in her space wasn’t enough anymore. So, she asked Yuan Tianxing to move two more houses into her space.
“You might as well get an apartment in there!” Yuan Tianxing looked at her and said.
“That’s a good idea! Come on, get me a good apartment,” Lin Qiao clapped and agreed.
Yuan Tianxing didn’t know what to say to her, but looked at her with a frowning smile.
She could deal with big matters neatly, but for the small affairs, she was always carefree. She had never changed. After becoming a zombie, she tended to be even more careless than before.
…
On the other side, Wu Chengyue returned to Sea City Base. Thinking about that zombie emperor, he immediately decided to forcibly upgrade Xiao Licheng, Moli and some of the other level-five base administrators with zombie nuclei or energy nuclei.
A couple of days after that, a tense atmosphere started to spread among the leaders of Hidden Cloud City Base.
“They went missing? How could that be possible? He’s with so many people! Have they all gone missing? Not even one made it back?” Fang Xiulin, one of the three base leaders, yelled with a sullen face.
They were waiting for Lu Zhuofeng to return with the drugs. However, it had been a few days, but they hadn’t heard anything from Lu Zhuofeng yet.
Fang Xiulin sent his people all the way to Huaxia Base to try and find them. Earlier on, those people brought back the news, saying that Lu Zhuofeng and all his people had left Huaxia Base a few days ago.
However, they didn’t even find a trace of Lu Zhuofeng and his people on their way back.
Hundreds of people went missing just like that, including Lu Zhuofeng, who was at level-eight, and Zhou Chenghao, who was at level-seven, along with tens of lower-leveled superpowered people. They had all disappeared.
“Did you find anything from Huaxia Base? He didn’t hide away, did he?” Mu Chengfeng, the other base leader, asked with confusion.
“According to some Huaxia people, they encountered a zombie attack not long after they left. That was a large group of high-leveled zombies. They came fast, and left fast,” said Weiming, who was holding the report.
Weiming was from the Northeast. After the apocalypse, he ran to Heilong Base together with his boss, who was like a brother to him. However, his brother was sick all the way. The world was full of zombies, yet that man couldn’t help at all. On the contrary, he became a burden to others.
Weiming wouldn’t have taken care of him for so many days before he showed him his real face if he didn’t have eyes on that man’s girlfriend.
Later on, that man’s girlfriend found that he didn’t attain a superpower, but was having a strange illness, so she turned to Weiming without hesitation. Weiming was thrilled; he instantly made a move and attempted to kill that man.
However, that man’s subordinates risked their lives and saved his. At last, he ran away.
About three months after that, that man healed and found him. That man was always more scheming than he was. He also found that that man wasn’t afraid of zombies. Zombies ignored him, and he was able to walk in a zombie crowd without any difficulty. Weiming fell into his trap, and all of his subordinates died. At the most critical moment, he pushed out that woman to shield himself from the bullets. That was how he escaped. He was tired of that woman anyway.
After that, he ran into Heilong Base and told everyone in that base about that man’s special power. Heilong Base people caught that man to try and figure out the secret of his body.
They studied that man, and soon found that his blood and flesh could help superpowered people to upgrade. For that reason, they cut off that man’s flesh slice by slice.
Weiming was relieved, and in fact, he was happy. He ate that man’s flesh as well. That man’s flesh could only be effective on a person once. It delivered no effect when he ate it the second time.
Around the third year after the apocalypse, a giant zombie crowd suddenly attacked Heilong Base and nearly destroyed it.
The base survived the zombie attack, but that man died. His body disappeared. Weiming thought that he would cut him into pieces.
He then left the Heilong Base. He had been to a few other bases, and at last, he settled down in Hidden Cloud City Base, which was located in the West.
“Zombie attack? Where are their bodies? If there was a zombie attack, we’d at least find some broken limbs, right?” Fang Xiulin said.
If they were attacked by zombies, their bodies would certainly be eaten. But without question, some remains of theirs would be found. But according to the report, not even a hair was found!
“Well…” Weiming fell into silence.
Fang Xiulin was right. If it were a zombie attack, their body couldn’t possibly disappear.
He browsed the report again. According to the report, some burn marks and a large molten trace was found in that area.
Clearly, someone destroyed the bodies and wiped out the traces. Zombies wouldn’t do that. It was humans who attacked them.
“I’ve checked. The leaders from the other bases all returned to their bases through the way they came. None of them went to other places. Only Green Mountain Base disappeared not long after they left Huaxia Base,” Weiming read the report again and then said.
“Green Mountain Base?” Fang Xiulin frowned.
“Green Mountain Base is suspicious indeed!” Mu Chengfeng knitted his brows as well.
Green Mountain Base was actually located in Xinjiang.
That was a remote town, and behind the town was a green mountain. At the foot of the mountain was a mental institution.
Some people also called that kind of place mental hospitals.
That mental institution was the foundation of Green Mountain Base.
At that time, in the inpatient department of Green Mountain Base, a five-feet-tall girl, who had long, curly hair and wore a pair of round glasses, carried a plate of warm food and knocked on a door.
“Chief, it’s mealtime.” The girl had a dull face. She looked gentle, and her voice was soft.
She didn’t wait for the response from the room. Instead, she repeated her words for a couple of times, then pushed the door open with one hand and walked into the room.
She was extra gentle and careful when she opened the door as if she was worried that she might scare the person in the room. After walking in, she conveniently but silently closed the door from inside.
