They saw her clearly; that girl was a zombie indeed. Those eyes couldn’t lie!
“Wake up! Go and save those people!” Lin Qiao reminded them.
As a former special forces soldier, Duan Juan had better a psychological quality than the others. She understood that observing zombies wasn’t the most important thing for now, saving people was.
“Let’s go up to the wall top,” she said to the others, then turned and headed toward the nearest ladder which led to the wall top. Her order was effective as the others all jumped into action despite how surprised they were.
Lin Qiao didn’t move, but stayed where she was, looking at those soldiers who were injured by Qiu Lili’s wind power.
She threw out Yang Jianhua’s head, then held her hands behind her body and said, “I know that some of you are from the Hades Base, and that you stayed under threat. I am now offering you a chance. Yang Jianhua is dead, and so is Huo Wu. Your families are no longer imprisoned. Now, you can kill those soldiers from Earth Dragon Base, and the ones who followed Yang Jianhua and betrayed Hades Base. Or, you can also wait for an opportunity to join the Earth Dragon Base. I’ll let you choose. Choose the former, and you will live… Go with the latter, and you will… die!”
Like a military instructor, she slowly walked among those soldiers while scanning them with her eyes. Having finished talking, she suddenly reached a hand toward a soldier who sneakily fired a gun at her.
Bang! She caught the bullet when the gunshot was heard.
She glanced at that soldier, then casually flicked the bullet toward the soldier.
Puff! The bullet sank into the soldier’s forehead.
She turned back without looking at that soldier fall to the ground with popped eyes and a small hole on the forehead. “You can choose now,” she said.
Those soldiers hadn’t realized what was happening, and were still staring at Yang Jianhua’s head with confusion. After hearing Lin Qiao’s words, they paused for a while and finally figured out her meaning.
“Are you saying that… the hostages are safe now?” Someone asked loudly.
Lin Qiao pointed at Yang Jianhua’s head, then nodded and responded, “They’re no longer guarded, but they’re still locked up. Saving them or not will depend on you.”
As she finished talking, some people immediately made moves.
A man in camouflage suit grabbed a gun and quickly got up from the ground, then fired at some soldiers.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
His movement was too sudden and quick, and he shot accurately. Before the others realized what he did, a few Earth Dragon Base soldiers had already been killed.
“I’ve put up with you for a long time! Now, Yang Jianhua is dead, and your Chief isn’t here. I finally have a chance to kill you b*stards!” That man cursed in rage, then started firing at the other Earth Dragon Base soldiers.
His shouts triggered the hatred and anger of all the other Hades Base soldiers had like a fuse that detonated a bomb.
“Yeah! Kill these b*stards!” The others burst in angry yells as well.
Clearly, they weren’t treated well, since their families and friends were captured and they were forced to stay here.
But still, some of them had doubts. They looked at Lin Qiao and asked, “Are those hostages really fine? You’re not lying to us, are you?”
“You can go and see for yourself, “Lin Qiao spread her hands and said carelessly.
“She… she’s lying! We still have the hostages! Do you want all of them to die?” At that moment, an Earth Dragon Base man suddenly gave a shout.
“I am telling you, Yang Jianhua is dead now. Soon enough, your Earth Dragon Base will be destroyed as well, believe me!” Lin Qiao turned and said to that man blandly.
Because of what those people did, her Mom, Lin Feng, and other relatives ran to East China. She had decided that she would make those people pay one after another after she found out the complete truth and the new base was stable.
Yang Jianhua, Long Yubai, and those people from other bases who had helped Long Yubai, she would find them and make them pay their debts.
“Trust her… We… We’ve come out…” Suddenly, a voice was heard.
People turned to the source of the voice and found a woman in ragged clothes holding the wall and looking at them.
“Lan!” Someone recognized that woman and exclaimed out loud. That man struggled up from the ground. He ignored his injuries, covered the bleeding wound on his arm with his hand as he rushed at that woman.
Lin Qiao glanced at that woman as well. Suddenly, she turned to the other side while swiftly taking out a dagger from around her waist and throwing it out.
Puff! The dagger sank into that man’s throat.
A gun fell off from that man’s hand while he covered his throat with his hand and popped his eyes.
That woman ran out of the school. She might know that her family was over there, so she sneaked toward this area.
“You’re fast,” Lin Qiao said to that woman.
Seeing that woman, the others immediately believed what Lin Qiao said. Thus, they all stood up as they picked up their weapons and started attacking the Earth Dragon Base soldiers around them, as well as the ones who had betrayed Hades Base.
Soon, another battle was started in this place.
Anyway, Lin Qiao avoided their attacks and disappeared.
She didn’t know which soldiers were from Hades Base and which were from Earth Dragon Base, so she encouraged those Hades Base soldiers to fight in this way.
In fact, not many Earth Dragon Base people were left here. Long Yubai had brought most of his soldiers away, and some of them had returned to the Earth Dragon Base with the supplies that they harvested in the Hades Base.
Only about a thousand soldiers were left here under Huo Wu’s command. Long Yubai ordered him to assist Yang Jianhua, but actually, he only wanted Huo Wu to keep an eye on Yang Jianhua.
To his surprise, Yang Jianhua broke into a higher level and put Huo Wu in a lower position not long after he left.
But now, Yang Jianhua was dead, and Huo Wu didn’t show up. Seeing those hostages showing up here, those Hades Base soldiers were instantly encouraged.
Lin Qiao spent a moment sensing those high-leveled zombies that she brought out of her space and found that they had all scattered. She didn’t sense any scent of blood from any of them.
They all seemed to be following her words.
Then, she turned and headed where Liu Yu was. She didn’t know how many bombs he had defused, so she decided to find him and take a look.
At the moment, the square in the base center was in chaos as well, because zombies were running about there.
Yes, the zombies that Lin Qiao brought out of her space to scare people had already entered that area.
