"Their bodies were injected with some sort of zombie virus drug. Their bodies are purple, and they've turned into zombies. But they're dead, and not because their heads were destroyed. It's more like the zombification process failed. "Ye Yingyue explained what she'd seen and what she'd guessed.
Lin Qiao folded his arms across his chest, one hand pinching his chin with his thumb and forefinger. His eyes were deep in thought.
Was this the secret the mysterious man had brought back to Skyfire Base for Li Zhengye?
"Are they all dead?" Lin Qiao asked.
"A small number were missing, I'm not sure." Ye Yingyue shook her head.
"Based on what you're saying … someone purposely made them disappear. Then, their corpses appeared together again, and they all showed the state of zombification after being infected by the zombie virus. Were they experimented on? "Lin Qiao asked after a moment's thought.
"I'm not sure. Our boss is still trying to figure out the culprit's intentions. I don't know if it's what you're saying. "Ye Yingyue shook her head.
Lin Qiao frowned, but didn't say anything. The office fell silent.
After a few seconds, Lin Qiao said, "Alright, I got it. Since you said you'd like to take a look at your fellow zombies, I'll send someone to take you there. Yuzhen, take Miss Ye there to see what's going on. "
As he spoke, he called Shen Yuzhen in.
"Yes, Miss Ye. Please come with me. "Shen Yuzhen smiled at Ye Yingyue as soon as she entered.
"Alright, thank you." Ye Yingyue rose to her feet. She nodded to Lin Qiao, then followed Shen Yuzhen out of the office.
Lin Qiao sat on the sofa, thinking about what Ye Yingyue had said, and the information Xie Dong had brought back from Skyfire.
Recently, Li Zhengye had been secretly capturing metahumans in his base. Thinking back to the information Ye Yingyue brought, the metahumans of Qingshan Base and Huaxia Base had all turned into zombies after their disappearance, but they hadn't died from having their heads destroyed. Putting all this together, Lin Qiao could imagine what Skyfire was up to.
Experimenting on living Adepts to turn them into zombies? What was their goal?
Add to that the fact that Skyfire Base already knew her identity. She'd have to get out there as soon as possible and sort things out. But now there was the threat of the Underworld. If she didn't deal with it, she wouldn't be able to take on Star Fire.
Besides, Skyfire Base had already received the news, but they didn't seem to be doing anything about it.
After weighing the severity of the crisis, Lin Qiao decided to first solve the problem of the base. As for the matter of her identity being leaked, Li Zhengye was only suspicious and had yet to confirm her identity. So, Li Zhengye might send someone to investigate the situation first. This meant that her condition was not urgent.
Thinking of this, Lin Qiao immediately got up and walked out of the office. Then, he brought Duan Juan back to Base No. 2.
Lin Qiao summoned Xie Dong to his office in the second base. "Increase your efforts to keep an eye on Li Zhengye's movements. There were two possibilities. One was that they might have already suspected my identity as a zombie. The other possibility is that Li Zhengye secretly caught those people with superpowers to do some kind of zombie virus experiment. "
Xie Dong jotted down the information in his notebook and nodded. "Yes, sir."
After that, he had a meeting with Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing to discuss the situation of the Underworld creatures. He told them about his plans and plans for the future.
"Are you going to go down to the caves and catch them? Will it be dangerous? "Lin Feng asked, his voice serious.
"I'll find out when I get down there. I'll go alone. I have the Invisibility Skill and the Dimension. If I run into danger, I'll be able to escape. "Lin Qiao said.
"I wonder if the stone they brought back will be able to suppress the Underworld creatures." Yuan Tianxing rested his elbows on the table, his hands crossed. His expression was serious.
"The energy in the stone is similar to the Underworld creatures, but I don't know if it'll be able to suppress them. We'll have to try. "Lin Qiao looked at him.
Yuan Tianxing nodded. His silence indicated that it was the best he could do.
When the meeting was over, Lin Qiao set off alone to the Underworld creatures.
On the other side of the city, the third floor of one of Skyfire's skyscrapers was heavily guarded. It wasn't a large space. When the elevator descended, there was a two hundred square meter office. The walls were made of matte metallic glass. You couldn't see what was inside, only a blurry image. There were a number of people dressed in white robes moving about.
There were two corridors to the left and right of the office. On either side of the corridor were two rows of closed doors, with glass windows in the doors. If you peered through the windows, you'd be able to see what was going on.
"How's Number Three doing?" Li Zhengye was in the office. He was dressed in white, a mask on his face and gloves on his hands. He held a notebook in his hand as he asked the man next to him.
"Number Three's consciousness is gone, but … but … his vital signs haven't completely disappeared." One of the men answered timidly. He didn't dare look Li Zhengye in the eye.
"What about the infection?" Li Zhengye frowned.
"His muscles have hardened, and his blood … has stopped flowing. His fingers and gums have secreted the virus. He doesn't look any different on the outside, but he's already a zombie. "The man replied.
"Then continue with the drug injections for numbers four to ten. Keep an eye on these people and don't let them escape, "Li Zhengye said as he put the notebook in his hand on the workbench.
"Yes, yes, yes. Understood. "The man next to him nodded respectfully.
Seeing Li Zhengye turn around and walk out of the office, the man let out a sigh of relief. After waiting for a while, they heard the sound of the elevator. Only now did the people in the research department, who had been trying their best to reduce their presence, start to speak.
"Who gave Li Zhengye such a thing? This is harming people! "
"Shh, lower your voice. If someone hears this and reports it to Li Zhengye, we're all done for. "
"Yeah, watch your words."
"Chief, we haven't dealt with the failed product. How do we send people to deal with it? "
The chief who was standing next to Li Zhengye didn't say anything. His expression was different from before. At this moment, his face was expressionless and his eyes were calm, but a dark light flickered in them. He didn't know what to think.
"Chief?" The assistant asked again when he didn't get a response.
"These are all evidence, we can't just throw them out of the base. Find a place that no one knows about and hide the corpses there. Find an ice ability user to freeze the corpses. "The section chief then gave his orders.
"Will there be an accident like this? What if the corpses come back to life? Do we need to shoot them in the head first? "the assistant asked hesitantly.
"No need. Just do as I say. "
"Oh."
