160: Seeing the zombie tide

Hearing his wife's words, Li Shantu frowned and said, "I'll ask Xiao Lin. He should have sent someone to pick up Li Ping."

As he spoke, he took out his telephone.

But as soon as the telephone was taken out, a call came in.

He looked at the caller: "See? The call came in by itself."

Saying this, A Man gestured towards the incoming telephone call for the woman: "They should be calling now to inform us and send a plane to pick her up and bring her home."

Seeing this, the woman's expression softened slightly.

Under his wife's gaze, Li Shantu answered the telephone.

But as soon as the call connected, the person on the other end burst out with words filled with extreme panic.

"It's bad, Chief Li Shantu, Miss Li Ping is dead!"

A simple sentence left the two husband and wife in the luxurious room momentarily stunned.

"What did you say?"

"Miss Li Ping is dead!"

"Boom!!"

In a situation of extremely intense emotional fluctuation, a violently raging aura instantly surged out from Li Shantu's wife!

"Explain yourself clearly! How could Li Ping be dead?!"

"We found the body in a forest in the Martial Exam ecological zone."

Xiao Lin on the other end of the phone obviously didn't expect something like this to happen.

He was extremely panicked inside.

If he didn't have to report this matter, he would definitely have been dismissed to avoid implication.

After all.

In the entire high-level circle, who didn't know how much the two Purple Crystal level experts, Li Shantu and his wife, doted on Li Ping.

Now that Li Ping was dead, it was like a storm was brewing!

"Who is it? Who is the murderer?!"

On the other end of the phone, the woman's sharp voice made Xiao Lin tremble all over: "Preliminary estimation, Miss Li Ping has strangulation marks on her neck, she should have been strangled to death."

"Estimation? So, you didn't even see what the murderer looked like?!"

Xiao Lin explained nervously: "Because the Base City has no signal connection, we can't retrieve the footage from the tens of thousands of independent mimicry cameras installed in the ecological zone, so..."

"Bang!"

Li Shantu slammed his palm heavily on the desk, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Not allowing the North District to receive signals was his idea, and he never expected that because of this decision, the murderer who killed his Hong Lei's daughter would actually get away with it!

"Crackle crackle~" The telephone was crushed into pieces by the woman.

Turning abruptly, Guo Lian walked directly out the door.

"What are you doing?"

Li Shantu at home looked towards the door.

Guo Lian's fists made a 'crack' sound as she clenched them: "Doing what? I'm going to the ecological zone in the North District to kill people and avenge my Hong Lei's daughter!"

"You don't even know who the murderer is."

"Then kill them all! It's their honor to be buried with my Hong Lei's daughter!"

Guo Lian's words were filled with bloodlust.

In response, Li Shantu shook his head solemnly: "Right now, Purple Crystal level Martial Artist like you and me, cannot go to that place."

"Why? At a time like this, you still want to maintain your image?"

"If you want to maintain your image in the eyes of the public, I'll go and kill! I won't let a single person live to spread the word!"

"That's not what I mean."

Li Shantu sighed: "How many lives are a small matter, the important thing is the Zombie tide."

"We have already made an agreement with the Zombie King, if Purple Crystal level Martial Artist like you and I go there now, it will only cause misunderstandings."

"Then what about our Hong Lei's daughter?!"

As soon as she said this, Guo Lian's eyes were filled with endless rage: "It's all your fault! To maintain your image as a strict father, you sent your Hong Lei's daughter to a remote corner like the North District."

"Now you've killed her!"

"But the one who killed her is the murderer who is still at large!"

Li Shantu's tone also rose a level.

He then glanced at the woman: "Stay home and behave, don't do anything that affects me."

"I must take the position of Leader this term from Li Huaishu!"

Speaking of this, Li Shantu pondered for a moment: "I will definitely resolve Li Ping's matter as well."

With that said.

A Man changed into another set of clothes and strode out of the house.

Outside the North District.

Ecological Zone.

Under the dim sky, the six-hour exam time was gradually coming to an end.

At the huge airport, some Students were returning one after another to confirm their scores.

Zhang Ru Lie felt a slight relief in his heart seeing most of the examinees return safely.

However.

Just as he thought he had been too sensitive throughout the day, a male Student whose clothes were torn and who was covered in dirt and looked extremely disheveled, arrived at the airport.

"Zombies! I saw a lot of Zombies! Everyone run!"

Sentence after sentence came out, heavily panting.

Many examinees around saw this guy's appearance and couldn't help but spread out a little.

And his not-so-clear words were also interpreted by everyone.

"Zombies?"

"Are you saying there are a lot of Zombies? Why didn't I see any?"

"I'm telling the truth."

The disheveled examinee shouted loudly: "The Zombie tide, a Zombie tide that you can't see the end of, is coming! Everyone run!"

The other party's voice clearly reached the ears of most people.

The scene had already started to become chaotic.

And seeing this situation, Zhang Ru Lie did not instantly deny it.

That examinee's state didn't seem like he was lying at all!

Thinking of the changing radiation levels throughout the day, Zhang Ru Lie's battle armor appeared on his body, and the rich starlight power lifted him up!

Golden level Martial Artist could already simply hover.

And as he hovered dozens of meters in the air.

Zhang Ru Lie, who was squinting his eyes and observing the surroundings, suddenly widened his eyes!

In the area just a few kilometers behind the airport, an endless black tide, as if pulling the large dark clouds in the sky, was slowly approaching their direction!

"This is... the Zombie tide!"

...

North District, inside.

In the council hall of the highest affairs unit.

Seven people sat at a long table.

The head seat at the long table was supposed to be Lumu Chen's position, but for some reason, the Base City center transferred him away overnight.

On either side of the head seat were two Old Man leaning on canes, who still looked full of vigor.

These two White-Haired Old Man were from the North District's decision-making group, and were second only to the original Leader, Lumu Chen.

Below the two White-Haired Old Man were five Middle-aged men and women.

These five people were in various fields in the North District, such as public security, city defense, etc. They were all indispensable existences!

And their strength level was surprisingly Diamond!

This was already the core combat power of a Base City.

Gathered together at this time, this was clearly an important meeting!

"Everyone understands the real situation, right?"

The two White-Haired Old Man from the decision-making group spoke in slow voices, carrying a hint of powerlessness.

Originally.

After they discovered the approaching Zombie tide in advance, they were full of tension, thinking about how to preserve the North District, and thinking about how to seek help from other districts, and so on.
