32: Take away the zombie king
"Sister, there really is a Zombie King! Brother Shi Li guessed right!"
"And the Zombie King is the key that triggers the zombie swarm."
"I heard them say the Zombie King is kept in the old museum! They're planning to attack China next month, and they even said the bases we've built are all prepared for them!"
"They've recently started planning to refine the next batch! Also, I found out the location of their laboratory—it's in the basement of the conference building!"
"That's amazing, Nian Nian. Your ability is seriously cool."
Yue Yue praised her with a beaming smile.
Lin Wan:
"Mm, Yi Nian, didn't Sister lie to you? You really are incredible; your ability can help us do so many things!"
Having received praise from her two sisters, she curled her lips into a happy smile.
"Mm. I'll work even harder and strive to reach Level 9! When that time comes, my invisibility will be even more dazzling!"
Shi Li looked at her small face, which was flushed red with excitement.
A hint of a smile flickered in his habitually cold eyes.
Shen Mo Chi toyed with Lin Wan's hand.
"Then let's strike while the iron is hot and take action tonight!"
Ji Chuan suddenly slapped the table and stood up, giving everyone a start.
"Good! Let's see if our Qingyun Squad doesn't make those foreign powers run with their tails between their legs! As children of China, patriotism is our lifelong responsibility. Those who offend my China..."
*Slap...*
Just as he was reaching a peak of passion.
A heavy palm suddenly struck the back of his head. He turned around in anger,
Only to see his dear wife shaking her hand, which hurt from the impact, with a fake smile on her face.
"Stop embarrassing yourself and sit down!"
Xie Ji Chuan rubbed the back of his head and sheepishly sat down to massage Yue Yue's hand.
...
And he muttered under his breath.
"How is this embarrassing? This is called being a patriotic youth!"
Everyone was stifling their laughter.
At noon, everyone parked the car in a deserted wilderness and then entered the space.
Lin Wan prepared a large table of food.
The group ate until their bellies were round.
"I have an idea. Once we get the Zombie King, why don't we put them in neighboring Japan?"
A sharp glint flashed in Lin Wan's eyes.
"Wanwan is right, I agree. Japan also played a part in the success of this zombie research, so let them reap what they sow and enjoy the fruits of their labor first!"
Shen Mo Chi was always the first to support his baby.
"I agree too. Such a tiny island nation—if we drop so many zombies there, I'm afraid the whole country will be finished. Just thinking about it is exciting. Wife, do you think I'm making sense?"
Yue Yue patted his large head.
"It makes sense. Moreover, Wanwan, we must act as quickly as possible before they discover the zombie swarm has disappeared, to avoid any complications."
"Right. We must get the Zombie King tonight. Tomorrow we'll fly straight to Japan and do something big!"
Shi Li's mouth twitched, but in the end, he said nothing.
The leadership had instructed him: as long as it didn't harm national security, he should let Lin Wan do as she pleased.
Besides, he also thought this plan was very satisfying and excellent.
I'm afraid these two countries never dreamed that Lin Wan's space was infinitely large!
Meanwhile, the spaces of their own countries' space Ability Users were only a hundred square meters or so and could only be used for storage.
If they knew the zombie swarm placed thousands of meters deep on the seabed could all vanish at once, wouldn't they be fuming with rage!
I'm really looking forward to it...
During the day, everyone rested in the space to recharge their energy.
When night fell, the group had a piping hot meal of spicy hot pot.
After a few drinks, they set out.
The night was dark and the wind was high; the cold wind was bone-chilling.
The group silently made their way to the museum.
Perhaps it was because they had hidden the zombie base deep under the sea.
They thought no one could find it, or perhaps they felt that even if it were discovered, no one could possibly take those zombies away.
Thus, aside from five Level 6 Ability Users guarding the place, there was no one else.
Actually, they still took it very seriously, because at the current pace, Level 6 was already very high.
The fact that Lin Wan and the others could level up so quickly was inextricably linked to drinking spiritual spring water every day.
Therefore, for such an important place, Country M had similarly sent their highest-level Ability Users.
Among them was also a Mental-type Ability User.
Lin Wan and the others had just approached when they were detected by her, even though she had been drowsy.
"Who's there? Alert!"
As she spoke, she released her mental power, attempting to pry into their information.
But neither Lin Wan nor Shi Li were pushovers.
Not only did she fail to pry into anything, but her consciousness was also controlled by Shi Li.
"How is it? Jane, what did you sense? Should we..."
"Ah..."
Before her companions could clarify the situation, they were shot in the head by her while completely off guard.
The remaining three were pale with shock, and soon, the several of them were locked in combat.
The highest function of a Mental-type ability is the ability to briefly control and disrupt a person's consciousness.
However, this function cannot be used casually.
After using it once, a long time is needed before the Mental-type ability can be used again.
Even someone as strong as Lin Wan would only use this ultimate move when necessary.
Since Shi Li used it this time, he couldn't use it again today.
Time was tight; now that the Mental-type user was dead, the others were nothing to fear.
Shen Mo Chi and Ji Chuan took action, quickly eliminating them and collecting their crystal cores.
They successfully entered, only to find a vast, empty space with nothing but murals covering the walls.
Lin Wan released her mental power, pressing her hand against the wall to sense it inch by inch.
"It's here!"
Taking down the massive mural, a tall hidden door came into view.
Dismantling the door, they found a zombie placed inside a three-meter-tall glass container.
He was tall and sturdy, with developed muscles and a body of dark blue-green. The corners of his mouth, like those of the undersea zombies, were set at a bizarre angle.
The sharp claws on his hands were long and curved, to the extent that a single swipe could twist off a human head.
"This glass container should be airtight. Once the Zombie King comes out, those undersea zombies will all awaken."
Lin Wan took the container into her space, and the group left quickly.
As they left, they also collected the dead bodies at the entrance into the space. When passing by the place where corpses were incinerated, they threw them in.
Then, under the cover of night, they flew directly to Japan.
By the time they arrived, it was already dawn.
The situation in Japan was even worse.
Everywhere the eye could see was a mess.
One could tell that a tsunami had just occurred here.
Garbage washed ashore was scattered all over the roads.
People from the Official Base were currently dealing with it.
The whole world was like this now; it seemed humans and zombies had come to coexist.
Some people even treated ordinary zombies that had gained intelligence as coolies, making them work.
From time to time, there were also Ability Users riding mutated tigers, looking haughty and arrogant.
The group moved forward inconspicuously.
They were also waiting for the fall of night.
This time, they chose a resting place near the Japanese Official Base.
They could both observe their movements and not be easily discovered by them.
"Yi Nian, have you recovered? Can you take someone inside yet?"
Yi Nian tried it out.
"I can, Sister Wan. You gave me spiritual spring water and I've rested for so long, it's no problem!"
"Good."
Lin Wan looked at the others.
"Now Yi Nian can take one person inside while invisible. We need to choose someone to go. I have to stay here with the space just in case. Who will go with Yi Nian?"
"I'll go,"
Several people said one after another.
"Stop arguing, I'll go."
Shi Li, who had been silent all along, spoke up.
"Although her current invisibility ultimate move can take one person along, it can only last for two hours. This is an Official Base after all, with many unknown dangers. If I go with her, it'll be fine."
"Besides, I've seen the maps of the Japanese base many times and am relatively familiar with the interior."
Lin Wan thought about it; considering all factors, that was indeed the case.
Shi Li's mental ability was even more powerful than her own.
"You used your ultimate move once last night, can you still do it now?"
Shi Li nodded.
"A whole night's time was enough for me to recover. I also have to thank you for your spiritual spring water."
"Fine. Then it's decided. If there's any emergency, you must protect Yi Nian well."
"I will."
They knew what kind of person he was, so they were very reassured. Since they came out together, they were a team, and the first priority was to trust each other.
"Nian Nian, go in and find their top office to see if there's any important information! Otherwise, once we release the zombies tonight, I'm afraid everything will be destroyed. Mainly see if you can find out about those people they've planted in our China."
Lin Wan instructed.
"Mm, okay Sister, I understand."
"Regardless of whether you get any news, you must prioritize safety. Don't push yourself too hard; you must come out in an hour and a half."
Yi Nian nodded obediently,
"Mm mm, okay. Don't worry, Sister."
