At that moment, no one was paying any attention to Hu Zhiyong, who was sitting aside with a painful face. In the eyes of the people who understood what really happened, he deserved that pain.
But still, some people tried to defend him.
After watching Lin Qiao attack Hu Zhiyong, and then change the topic with Si Kongchen and the others as of nothing had happened, Liu Zhinan couldn’t help but start talking with a grim face,
Woman, how dare you hurt a chairman of Huaxia Base for no reason! You are not here to help us deal with the massive zombie attack, are you?

He made it sound like Lin Qiao came to Huaxia Base with some other purpose.

For no reason? How would Chairman Hu be poisoned if he didn’t touch her hand? You need to know that not even I have the courage to touch her without permission. Chairman Hu, you are really a brave man!
Wu Chengyue responded smilingly even before Lin Qiao said anything.


While speaking, he eyed Hu Zhiyong with an extremely cold look, and also gave out a trace of killing intent.

He just held her hand. Does she really need to disable his arm for that? This Miss Lu here is a little too aggressive!
Liu Zhinan snorted coldly.
He glanced at Hu Zhiyong and found the latter leaning against the back of the chair, gasping quickly for air. His face had paled, and eyes were unfocused. Gao Haoyun had frozen his arm, but clearly, the unbearable pain broke him down just now, and he hadn’t recovered from the breakdown yet.

Don’t you know that it’s improper for men and women to touch each other without permission? Don’t you guys know what harassment means? This guy touched my hand without my permission while holding some nasty thoughts. I just taught him a lesson. Not every woman is touchable,
Lin Qiao snorted with laughter, then supported her chin with a palm and said blandly.

He kindly offered you a seat, yet you arrogantly thought that he was harassing you. You are so thick-skinned!
Liu Zhinan taunted her with a cold smile.
Lin Qiao looked at him and kept her head tilted. She blinked, then responded carelessly,
If a stranger touched your mom’s hand in an indecent way but you don’t care if that’s harassment or not, I’d be fine with it. But in my case, he was harassing me because I said so. His arm can be frozen forever or disabled. What are you gonna do about it?


You! You are so unreasonable!
Liu Zhinan glared at her with wrathfully.

If he sat tight without touching me, he’d surely be fine. He shouldn’t have tried to take advantages of me, should he? He brought the misfortune to himself. Alright, that is not important. What is important is how we are going to deal with the zombie crowd out there, or that lightning-powered zombie emperor, right? Chief Si?
Lin Qiao smiled with composure while she threw the topic back to Si Kongchen.
Anyone who dared to try to take advantage of her would end up like Hu Zhiyong. She did look young and pretty now, but she was not a pushover.
Si Kongchen glanced at Hu Zhiyong, then said expressionlessly,
I think Chairman Hu won’t die for now, so let’s see how can we find some useful information about that zombie emperor.




As long as no one will make any more trouble,
Wu Chengyue looked at Hu Zhiyong with a smile, then looked at Liu Zhinan.
Gao Haoyun fell into silence. The way he looked at Lin Qiao became much politer than before, and the greed in his eyes was gone. He didn’t know that she had poison power. Before, he only heard that the leader of the new base which was located near Sea City Base was a woman, but had no information about her.
Based on what happened just now, one needed to bring her superpower under control to touch her body, unless she was willing to be touched by that person. That was troublesome!
However, she was so charming and beautiful! He was willing to go through all the troubles for a woman like her. It was not yet the time to start an open fight, so he decided to pursue her. The trouble could be saved if she was willing to lie underneath him.
Gao Haoyun fixed his eyes on Lin Qiao with a complicated look as he was having all kinds of thoughts. Thankfully, he had his intentions hidden much better than before, so the others couldn’t tell that he was coveting that pretty Chief lady.
However, that intention of his was very obvious to Lin Qiao.

Tell us about your plan. We have come here, and we won’t just watch. I wonder how many weapons you will promise us as our payback?
Wu Chengyue turned his dagger eyes away from Huaxia Base, then looked at Si Kongchen and said smilingly.
He made it quite clear that he and Lin Qiao weren’t there to help for free. They would charge for helping. If Huaxia Base promised them a good price, they would surely help more.
He didn’t need to give more details, as the others clearly understood his meaning.

As you can see, we are currently very short of weapons. Will you take other types of payment? How about energy nuclei?
Si Kongchen looked at Wu Chengyue and said expressionlessly.



I’m not saying now… I can wait. Your base is able to produce weapons anyway. You can ship them to Sea City Base when you have them,
Wu Chengyue waved a hand and said.

No problem! Since you want weapons, just give me a list. Miss. Lu, I wonder what you want in return?
Si Kongchen agreed to Wu Chengyue’s term, then turned to Lin Qiao and asked her.

Oh, I’m fine. I’m only here to watch! If you’ll really need my help at some point, I’ll tell you what I want by then. Don’t worry, your base will be able to afford it,
Lin Qiao responded with a small smile.
While they were negotiating, the other bases had received the news that Sea City Base had joined the fight.
About forty miles away from Huaxia Base was a small town. The news from Huaxia Base could reach that area very soon.
This time, it was not Li Zhengye who came out of the base; it was another leader. He looked about thirty, slim, medium height—about five-feet and nine. He was an average-looking man that one would never notice among a group.
However, while looking into his eyes, one would feel cold for some reason. Added with the depressing vibe from him, he always made the people around him feel uncomfortable.
The man by his side was Xu Changmu.
Will Sea City Base still gain any profits by joining now? Huaxia Base has consumed up almost all the ammo they have after all. Is Si Kongchen even willing to give out those nuclear weapons?
he said.

Nothing is certain until the last moment,
Gu Yikang’s deep, dry, and cold voice was heard.
His voice wasn’t like that of normal people. It was deep, but not hoarse, somehow attractive. It should be pleasant to hear, but that special cold tone of his made it not so pleasant.


He continued,
The situation seems to be bad for Huaxia Base, but Si Kongchen is still saving quite some powerful weapons. I guess he’ll use those to make deals with the other bases.
