Chapter 1425 - He Decides to Abandon It (1/2)
“Yes, that’s true. But I don’t think she’s a zombie. She has no zombie features at all.” On hearing Si Kongchen mention Lu Tianyu’s death, Han Xiao and Wei Haichao exchanged glances, thinking that his guess wasn’t likely to be right.
After all, the suspected ones had liked wearing sunglasses. None of them had ever shown their eyes in public. The eyes could be the strongest evidence to prove that someone was a zombie. The woman’s eyes were normal, and she had never covered them.
“I’m impressed that these zombies have actually become exactly like humans. Many high-leveled zombies have their faces mostly healed, but none of them has healed so perfectly. It’s also so weird that they can talk!” Standing aside, Wei Haichao folded his arms and said with a puzzled face.
“Keep digging. The woman might be a human, but we still need to dig out the backgrounds of the suspicious ones around her. Let’s see if the twenty-thousand people in her base will have the guts to stay in a zombie base,” said Si Kongchen coldly, “Wu Chengyue is actually working with a base like that. Is he going to betray humans and help the zombies?”
“No matter what his purpose is, the fact that he’s working with zombies has already violated the common rule of human bases,” said Han Xiao.
Zombies fed on humans and humans were supposed to kill zombies; those two species were meant to be enemies. They were supposed to strive to destroy each other. Under these circumstances, Wu Chengyue has been working with zombies. That is against humanity! That is a betrayal of humans. This can never be allowed!
Feeding on humans was in the nature of zombies, so zombies and humans were deadly enemies.
“The woman keeps zombies in her base. But what has she been feeding them with? Does she feed them with humans? No wonder none of our men could return alive,” Wei Haichao murmured.
At that time, All Beings Base and Sea City Base had both noticed that Huaxia Base was doing background digging about All Beings Base people. After learning that Lin Kui’s identity had been exposed, they figured that the secret of All Beings Base wouldn’t be kept for long.
Lin Feng and the others were prepared for that kind of situation since long ago, and they had solutions for what might happen. However, Sea City Base might be brought into trouble as well.
Lin Feng had sent a man to inform Wu Chengyue about it. If the zombie army in All Beings Base were exposed, he would have to choose between betraying Sea City Base to help All Beings Base and disconnecting Sea City Base from All Beings Base, turning against the latter.
Sea City Base currently had about seven-hundred-thousand residents. He couldn’t possibly make all of them accept the existence of the zombie army, even though those zombies had never hurt them. They were zombies, and that only reason was enough for people to hate them.
At the moment, Wu Chengyue was sitting in his office. Xiao Yunlong and Xiao Licheng were sitting on the other side of his desk while Kong Qingming was standing by his side. The three were all looking at him, waiting for him to speak. After a short silence, he said expressionlessly, “If that’ll be the case, Yunlong, the base will be left to you and Zou.”
“Is that your decision?” The three glanced at each other. Clearly, Wu Chengyue didn’t plan to take them to All Beings Base, and neither did he plan to convince all Sea City Base to accept the existence of the zombie army from All Beings Base. After all, that would be impossible.
He didn’t want to give up on All Beings Base either. He had known about Lin Qiao’s true identity since long ago, and everything about her base. He had never thought about giving up on her ever since he fell in love with her. He also knew that she would never give up on her base and her army, so he didn’t intend to convince her to do that.
“I guess you had made that decision long ago,” Xiao Yunlong raised his brows and said.
The truth couldn’t be kept secret forever. Besides, All Beings Base wasn’t trying to hide its zombie army for good. Otherwise, Lin Qiao wouldn’t have brought her zombie soldiers everywhere to perform tasks. If they really did not want the others to discover their true nature, they would have hidden away.
Instead of doing that, Lin Qiao brought her zombie soldiers out of her base frequently.
Based on that, people figured that she didn’t plan to keep her zombie army secret in the long run. Once the zombie army was exposed, she would become the enemy of humans.
