Xiao Guofeng, the leader of the first corps in Sky Fire Base, stood at the door of Li Zhengye’s office as he confusedly looked at the two soldiers who were as quiet as two pieces of wood. He gave a start when he saw their eyes, then raised a hand to touch one of them.
As he thought, the soldier fell to the floor once he touched him.
Xiao Guofeng turned to the other soldier. As same as the first one, the soldier’s eyes were lusterless. He suddenly realized something and immediately turned to run back into the Chief’s office and look at the desk.
 

The files on the desk were open and a pen was thrown near them, left uncapped. Clearly, someone was working there. The man left so abruptly that he didn’t even have the time to tidy his desk.
 

Chief might have encountered a surprise attack. Otherwise, why weren’t any traces of fighting found in the office?


 

With that thought, Xiao Guofeng immediately turned and left.
 


Soldiers, come on, go and find Chief. Chief is missing. Keep it secret. Also, tell Cui Tengguang and the other corps leaders to come here.
While walking into the hallway, Xiao Guofeng gave orders to his soldiers.

Yes, sir!

 

Soon, Cui Tengguang, the leader of the second corps in Sky Fire Base, arrived with his men.
 

Sky Fire Base had about three-hundred-thousand human soldiers, divided into seven corps led by Xiao Guofeng, Cui Tengguang, and a few others. Xiao Guofeng was a level-seven fire-power possessor, the second most powerful man in the base.
 


Xiao, what’s wrong? Why did you suddenly summon us here? Where’s Chief?
Once arrived, Cui Tengguang asked his questions. Meanwhile, the others noticed the two soldiers lying near the door.
What happened?

 

Xiao Guofeng was a man in his forties, strong, looking very masculine with mainly facial features, very much like a powerful leader. With a sullen look on his face, he said,
The two of them were standing here, dead, when I came here. Chief and Cheng Tianan are both gone. That’s why I called you all.

 


What? Chief is gone? Have you sent anyone to look for him?
The others were surprised to hear that.
 


Sure I have! But, I think things are serious now. We need to be ready for the possibility that Chief might not be here,
Xiao Guofeng glanced at the man, then turned to Li Zhengye’s desk and said.
 

The others instantly understood his meaning and agreed with silence.
How come there were zombie roars? There isn’t a high-leveled zombie in our base, is there?



 

Xiao Guofeng walked into the office and sat down on the couch, then straightened his waist and rested his hands on his knees as he fell into deep thoughts. He didn’t say a word, so the others glanced at each other and stayed silent as well.
 

A short while later, Xiao Guofeng said,
We haven’t found Chief yet, and neither have we found the source of the zombie roars. But now, we need to prepare for both good and bad. No matter if Chief comes back or not, we need to focus on the zombie roars right now. Also, send your men to keep an eye outside. Come back to report to us once anything abnormal is found. Feng, you’re responsible for the area outside the fence wall.

 


I understand!
A relatively shorter and younger man in a military suit nodded and responded, then quickly turned and left to give instructions to his men.
 


Director Liu, take some men to that base and see what’s happening there,
Xiao Guofeng said to another man.
 


Eh? That base? Are you talking about…
The man was confused for a second, then figured it out.
 


Yes. That place cannot be exposed. If the base falls into chaos, we need to at least make sure that we still have the control of that place,
Xiao Guofeng nodded and glanced at him.
 


Yes, sir! I’m doing it right now,
Director Liu quickly left.
 

As Xiao Guofeng was making plans, Lin Qiao had summoned all her soldiers.
 


You let him eat human again?
Lin Qiao glanced at Nine, then asked Six.
 


Eh-hem…
Six glanced at the sky and then responded,
Only one bite.



 

Lin Qiao looked at him coldly and said,
You’re gonna spoil him. I doubt if he’ll thank you when he wakes up.

 

Six turned to Nine silently. The kid would probably feel so sick once he recollected his memory and humanity, knowing that he had eaten human flesh.
 


The leaders of the army have gathered together. They might have noticed that Li Zhengye is missing. They have also heard our voices, so they will not ignore our sounds. Now, they should be focusing their powers searching through the base, so you guys need to hide well. We’ll be waiting for the reactions of the people in the base who have already known about the zombie experiment.
Lin Qiao spent a second sensing the scents from Li Zhengye’s office building, then said to the others.
 

After that, she gave Nine a glare and warned him,
You are not allowed to heat humans!

 

Nine was frightened by the emperor’s vibe that she released on purpose and instantly shrank behind Six.
 

Lin Qiao waved a hand and said,
Go. I’m going to find someone.

 

On hearing her words, the group of zombies immediately disappeared from where they were while Lin Qiao had also vanished into thin air. The one she was going to look for was, of course, the person who knew about Long Hair. She had learned about that person from the lab leader’s mind.
 

In a basement in the outer part of Sky Fire Base, a bearded man with messy hair and unwashed face was sitting behind a desk, sorting a pile of files and materials. He stood up and picked up some sorted files, then turned and opened the cabinet behind him to put the files inside.
 

The basement was only about three or four meters squared. The bed and table and cabinet had almost filled it up completely.
 

As he closed the door of the cabinet and turned back, prepared to sit down and continue his work, the doorbell suddenly rang. The man paused. Under his bangs, his pair of sharp eyes were fixed on the door.


Someone soon knocked on the door.
 

A sharp beam of light flashed across the man’s eyes and disappeared in a few seconds.
Who is it?
he said with a bland voice. He looked slovenly, but his voice was unexpectedly pleasant to the ears. It sounded as soothing as the sound of spring water.

A deal. Are you interested?
A woman’s voice was heard.
 


A woman?
the man furrowed his brows.
 

Only a few people knew of his location, and none of them was a woman. Besides, he only knew one or two female superpower possessors in the base. The voice that came from the other side of the door was strange to him, meaning that he did not know its owner.
 

However, since the lady said she came to make a deal with him, he had no reason to not let her in. More importantly, it didn’t seem easy for him to stop her, since she had already managed to find him.
 

The man thought for a moment, then walked out from behind his desk and opened the door.
