Wu Chengyue sent out his people to dig up Lin Qiao’s background, but that never went well. In the meantime, he sent some other people to keep an eye on her new base, but she never showed up.
A couple of days later, two strange people suddenly entered the Sea City Base and directly found Wu Chengyue. They had a giant mutant wolf-dog; tall and strong, very fierce-looking.
Neither of those two people was ordinary; one of them was at level-seven while the other at level-six. The mutant dog was also a rarely seen high-leveled one.
Xiao Licheng brought the two people and the dog to Wu Chengyue’s office door, then said to them,
Wait for a second, our Chief is in there.
Lei Cheng and the other man stopped walking and nodded without saying a word. His handsome face wore no expression.
Xiao Licheng turned and knocked on the door, then pushed it open and took half a step forward as he said,
Chief, they’re here.
Hearing that, Wu Chengyue, who was reading some files behind his desk, immediately put down the pen in his hand and conveniently covered those files with a piece of paper before standing up from his chair.
Please come in!
he said.
Xiao Licheng stepped outside, then gestured for the two to come in.
After that, the two tall and muscular men walked into the office, the large dog quietly following behind them.
Wu Chengyue glanced at the dog, then smilingly said to the two,
Nice to meet you. I am Wu Chengyue. May I ask your names?
The two men were at about the same height. The one who responded to Wu Chengyue was the slightly shorter and good-looking one.
My name is Lei Cheng, and this is Zheng Hao,
he said expressionlessly.
Wu Chengyue pointed at the couch while saying,
Please have a seat. As you can see, I have a kid here. So… Can you please let your dog wait outside?
While speaking, he gave that extra large dog a guilty glance.
The dog had been quietly and closely following behind Lei Cheng since it came in, without raising its head to look or sniff around.
It didn’t have a leash, but was never even a step away from Lei Cheng. Wherever Lei Cheng went, it followed.
Hearing Wu Chengyue’s request, Lei Cheng didn’t show any discontentment, but slightly lowered his head to say to the dog with a bland tone,
Erlei, go guard at the door.
After hearing his words, the dog raised its head to give him a glance, then quickly turned around and walked toward the door, with its tail dropped.
Wu Chengyue knew that mutant dogs could be very smart and intelligent. Some of them could understand simple human language. Therefore, Wu Chengyue wasn’t surprised when the dog walked out obediently after its owner told it to do so.
Mutant animals and plants had one thing in common—they could be stung to madness easily. If something affected the dog and made it go mad, there would be a trouble.
Seeing strangers come in, Wu Yueling quickly turned and ran to the restroom nearby.
As Lei Cheng and Zheng Hao sat down, Xiao Licheng poured each of them a glass of water and put them on the table before them. After that, he stood in the corner beside Wu Chengyue.
Where are you from? What can I do for you?
said Wu Chengyue.
Strangers always came to him for reasons. If they weren’t here to make troubles, they would surely be here to ask for help.
Lei Cheng looked at him and said,
We’re here to ask about Tang He.
Wu Chengyue was puzzled for a second, as he had never heard that name before.
May I ask who is Tang He?
Lei Cheng glanced at Zheng Hao who sat beside him. Receiving his glance, the latter knowingly took out an A4-size paper from his bag along with a photo, then handed it to Wu Chengyue.
Chief Wu, this is Tang He. Maybe you don’t know his name, but I think many people in your base have already seen him,
Zheng Hao said after handing the file to Wu Chengyue.
Wu Chengyue took over the file. At the sight of the photo, he recognized Tang He as no one else but Yang Chao’s helper who was pointed out that day in the conference hall by the female zombie.
Him? You’re looking for him?
He said with surprise.
This man is the traitor of our base. He committed a serious crime in our base, so he ran out. The base sent us to tackle him and bring him back,
said Lei Cheng.
Wu Chengyue looked at the two of them and said,
I see! But, Tang He seems to have level-seven metal power, and is good at attacking. I think it’ll be quite difficult for you two to catch him.
He didn’t tell Lei Cheng and Zheng Hao that he felt that they wouldn’t be able to catch Tang He even by joining hands.
Level-seven superpowered human beings were rarely seen, and extremely hard to defeat. Normally, not even two same-level superpowered people could win against one level-seven person, not to mention capture him or her. Besides, escaping could be really easy for level-seven superpowered people.
Lei Cheng nodded and said,
I know what you mean. We’re not the only two who came here, so you don’t need to worry about that.
Wu Chengyue looked at him. Abruptly, he chuckled and asked,
A mere squad from your base contains one level-seven and one level-six. May I ask where are you from? Are you from the Huaxia Base in Beijing?
Huaxia Base was the largest base so far. It was run by seven leaders, and all of them were level-eight beings.
Among all bases in this country, only Huaxia Base had so many level-eight superpowered people. For that reason, Huaxia Base was the most powerful base in the country, and had no fear of any other base.
The living conditions there were surely better than that in the second-grade bases, and it was safer to live in there than in the other bases.
Huaxia Base was still recruiting residents. However, entering Huaxia Base required zombie nuclei. The residents in that base needed to pay the base monthly with nuclei, or they would be kicked out directly.
As Lei Cheng was at level-seven, Wu Chengyue guessed that he and his people were from Huaxia Base, because it wasn’t far away from Sea City Base.
Lei Cheng shook his head and said,
We can’t tell you anything about our base, but I can tell you that we have nothing to do with Huaxia Base.
Wu Chengyue looked at him with surprise,
Ah, is that so? Alright, I shouldn’t have asked it, sorry!
Lei Cheng remained expressionless the whole time.
It’s okay,
he said carelessly,
Don’t worry about it, Chief Wu! Now, you only need to tell us what happened before Tang He left. We’ll trade the information with this.
While speaking, he took out a zombie nuclei and put it before Wu Chengyue’s face.
That was a level-six zombie nucleus!
