Wu Chengyue glanced at Qiu Lili and Yun Meng. He surely knew what they were.
He rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then said, “Just now, I tried to find out how powerful he is. I can’t tell exactly how powerful he is, but he is a level-eight lightning-powered zombie, so he’s definitely stronger than me. However, although I can’t defeat him, I won’t let him do anything to this place.”
The others looked at him silently. Yun Meng spent a few seconds observing him, then asked, “When did you… break into level-eight?”
Once she said that, the others all popped their eyes with surprise. They were just wondering why he was so confident. It turned out that it was because he had grown stronger.
Wu Chengyue responded with a faint smile, “Oh, about two months ago…”
He would never tell those people that his energy suddenly became unstable not long after he had sex with their Chief, which provided him with an opportunity to upgrade. That was how he broke straight into level-eight.
“So, you’re a level-eight lightning power possessor now? Great! We don’t need to be afraid of that zombie emperor anymore!” Hearing his words, the others were all delighted. The tense atmosphere which had existed in the base for a couple of days instantly faded.
“Even if you can’t drive him away, you can stall him until our Chief is back. She’ll certainly come up with a plan to deal with that zombie emperor!” Lin Feng sighed with relief. The look on his face was finally less depressing.
Before Wu Chengyue arrived, the people in All Being Base weren’t despairing, but were depressed indeed.
“In fact, I’d like to fight a serious battle against the zombie emperor and see if he’s really so powerful,” said Wu Chengyue smilingly.
As everyone knew, zombies were always stronger than human beings on the same power level. In a serious battle between a zombie and a human at the same level, although the winner could be determined easily, no side would die easily.
Winning and killing the enemy were different concepts after all.
“The zombie emperor remembers his human life. I think he is expanding his army and strengthening himself now. Otherwise, as a zombie emperor, he could destroy our base and forcibly suppress Lili and Yun Meng,” said Yuan Tianxing.
“He already has five level-seven zombies, as well as over ten level-six zombies under his command. We don’t know where he found them. Besides, he seems to see humans as his enemies,” Lin Feng said.
“He has human memory?” Wu Chengyue put a hand on his chin while thinking.
Since he wasn’t a normal zombie, but had his human memory, he was certainly smarter than normal zombies. So, a great plan was needed to deal with him.
Wu Chengyue wondered if he and Lin Qiao could defeat the lightning-powered zombie emperor with the combination of their powers. The zombie emperor’s nucleus would be enough for him to reach the peak of level-eight.
The problem was that he didn’t know if the female zombie would be willing to help him defeat the zombie emperor. He only wanted the zombie emperor’s nucleus, and planned to leave all the other nuclei for her. Would she agree to that deal?
Anyhow, Wu Chengyue didn’t plan to inform the other bases about the zombie emperor.
“I’ve already informed Xiao Yunlong. He should arrive with an army by noontime. I’ll find a way to protect you against the zombie emperor, but I have one condition.” Wu Chengyue smilingly said to the others.
“What is it? We’ll do what you want, as long as it’s within our reach.” Yuan Tianxing and the others weren’t ordinary people. They totally understood that it was reasonable for Wu Chengyue to bring up a condition before helping them. They would accept any terms to get through the crisis, as long as All Beings Base didn’t suffer great losses.
Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng delightfully accepted what Wu Chengyue said.
Qiu Lili and Yun Meng paused briefly. They thought for a moment, then understood that it was reasonable. They didn’t object, but gave one suggestion.
“I think you might as well wait until our Big Sister came back, and then talk to her,” said Yun Meng.
“Alright, I’m fine with that,” Wu Chengyue grinned.
The others were relieved. They glanced at each other, and didn’t say anything else.
…
At that moment, Lin Qiao was squatting in her space with the dog and the snake, looking at the woods. A few people were standing behind her.
Lu Tianyi, Xiao-Xiao, Pesticide, Li Zheng, Leng Xuantong, and the others were all there to see what was happening.
“Boss, you’ve squatted here for over an hour. What on earth are you doing?” Li Zheng finally couldn’t help but ask a question.
“Yeah. Where is Lu Zhuofeng? Didn’t you go after him? Did he run away?” Lin Yu added curiously.
Lin turned back to give them a glance, a grass leaf held between her lips. She raised an arm and pointed at the woods, “Lu Zhuofeng is in there. He can’t come out now. He has the drugs.”
“You brought him in here? Can you suppress him?” Li Zheng looked at the woods and said with surprise.
“I was planning to give it a try and see if I can suppress him or not. Now, it seems that I have him suppressed,” Lin Qiao stood up and said to Black and Bowwow, “Bowwow, Black, you two get in and distract him.”
“Can they… do that?” Feng Yuming stuck his head out from behind Li Zheng and asked with doubt.
“He’s been making rounds in my woods for an hour. By now, his energy has been consumed by eighty or ninety percent. He can’t release his power anymore. Besides, I’m right here, suppressing his power. Black and Bowwow can’t kill him, but can surely distract him,” Lin Qiao said, shaking the grass between her lips.
“Is that level-eight superpowered man going to be exhausted to death by you?” Leng Xuantong looked at Lin Qiao in a weird way and murmured. Hearing that, the others all turned to Lin Qiao with pity. Of course, they were feeling pity for Lu Zhuofeng, not for her.
At that point, Lu Zhuofeng was standing under a tree. He was breathing quickly, with a very sullen look.
He, of course, knew that he had fallen into someone’s trap. But still, he hadn’t figured out where he was. His power had been weakened by eighty percent, and the energy inside him had been disappearing quickly.
The trees surrounding him were very weird. They were as hard as metal, that his wind blades couldn’t even leave a mark on those trees!
One hour later, his face paled, and his forehead was covered in small sweat drops.
Feeing that his energy was almost drained, he let panic emerge on his face.
What on earth was that place? He couldn’t get out of that woods, and the place had been devouring his energy!
Right at that moment, he suddenly felt chill. A sense of crisis attacked him, as if he was suddenly targeted by some kind of fierce beast.
