1345 The Fishes Flew out of the River (1/2)

”Based on the date, I think he'll make the breakthrough in about four hours,” said the medical staff to him.

Lin Hao looked at Du Yuanxing. Thankfully, he still had a good amount of lake water left by his sister. He made Du Yuanxing drink three glasses of it and managed to stop the man's electric power from bursting out of his body. A few days before, people had to wear insulating suits and rubber gloves to touch him, and they were all worried that they might be burned to ashes with the slightest carelessness.

”This is so great! We are finally about to have another level-six member!” Lin Hao nodded and then gave a sigh. The number of superpower possessors in Base Number One was way too small. Thinking about the number of level-six zombies in Base Number Two, he felt that Base Number One was so much weaker than Base Number Two. He wondered when Base Number One could have as many level-six members as the other.

The medical staff smiled at him and said, ”There'll be more and more in the future. Aren't there over ten-thousand new members of our base now? There are quite some level-six ones among them, right?”

Lin Hao thought for a moment and then nodded, ”You're right! There are over twenty level-six ones among those people, about ten of whom are from Three Months Hunters' Group. Wenwen had indeed done a great job!”

The medical staff thought that by 'a great job', he was talking about Lin Wenwen bringing those people from Sea City Base to All Beings Base. But in fact, Lin Hao meant what she did seven years ago. She helped those people, which was why they paid her back now.

After confirming that Du Yuanxing would make the breakthrough and enter a new level in a few hours, Lin Hao returned to his office. He wasn't a zombie, so he couldn't detect the scent left by the people who had been in his office. The nurse was a commoner. She didn't have a superpower, so she wouldn't leave any energy behind. Therefore, Lin Hao had no idea that someone was in his office searching for something not long ago.

He sat down and spent a short while reading the data about Du Yuanxing's energy changes these days, and then he put the file on the desk as he stood up. He turned and walked to the file cabinet, moving away the files before the hidden compartment. Then, he found a key from the set of keys around his waist and unlocked the compartment.

In the compartment weren't Lin Qiao's files as the nurse estimated. Instead, those were the files of the superpower possessors in the base who had recently upgraded.

He opened the hidden compartment and then turned around to pick up Du Yuanxing's file, putting it into the compartment as well. Next, he locked the compartment, put the files back to cover it, and sat back down to read other files.

And at that time, Lin Qiao was still trapped above that river!

There seemed to be a magnetic field between the energy in the air and the energy in the river. Anything that went through the space between them could cause an energy swirl to descend from the air.

Lin Qiao watched the energy spin swiftly and move about in the area. While controlling the dark fire under her feet to avoid bumping into one of the swirls, she also needed to resist the suction generated by them.

It was indeed very difficult to cross the river. If she hadn't been controlling her own power in a perfect way, she would have been sucked into one of the swirls long ago. The situation was dangerous, but she still managed to move toward the other side of the river slowly.

At that moment, dark figures suddenly emerged from the whirlpools in the river, and a sharp sound was heard.

Sizzling!
