Chapter 1126: Lan Lu’s Situation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
‘That woman is scary indeed! No one who dares to mess with her will end up well!’
Shui Mingjun attained a new understanding about Lin Qiao in this moment.
In a patch of woods in the northwest, Lan Lu was hiding near the edge of a cliff, looking at the tall man who was standing on the cliff.
The man was looking down the cliff expressionlessly. If there were not a strong energy wave surrounding him and shredding everything within the area thirty meters around him, one might think that he was just a normal man.
Apart from Lan Lu and the man on the cliff, a level-eight mutated beast had been hiding nearby. Slightly further away were a group of people surrounding the man and observing him from all directions.
The level-eight mutated beast was a Eurasian wolf, the wolf king, and following behind it were hundreds of mutated wolves. All the wolves had their sharp eyes fixed on the man on the cliff.
The wolf king was purely black; its hair were long, looking shiny and soft and fluffy. Under the sunlight, its black hair had a beautiful luster. Its two ears stood straight up and its tail almost reached the ground. It was muscular, with very strong limbs; its sharp claws were sparkling dangerously.
The wolf king was nearly two meters tall and eight meters long, including the tail. It had a pair of sharp eyes that contained a clam look. The wolf king quietly looked at the man on the cliff. From under the peacefulness in its eyes, waves of longing could be detected.
It was craving energy. Apparently, the wolf king eagerly wanted to level-nine man’s energy nucleus.
Lan Lu looked at the man and then at the black wolf king, then at the group of Huaxia Base, who had also been casting their greedy eyes on the man, suffering a headache. His Chief’s condition was growing worse and worse. The man’s energy had almost run out, so he was much less destructive than before. He possessed superpower strength that made him ten-times stronger than normal superpower possessors. But at the moment, he couldn’t even take uninterrupted attacks from level six or seven, not to mention those highly destructive small-range bombs that Huaxia people brought.
Those rocket bombs were one-time only. However, each of them could be as effective as an attack launched by a level-eight superpower possessor.
The level-eight wolf king and the level-eight weapons occupied both sides of the man, and Lan Lu could only deal with one of them. Once he made a move toward either of them, he would have no energy left to fight the other one. Currently, both sides had been waiting for an opportunity to take down his Chief.
Thankfully, the wolf king seemed cautious, probably scared of Lan Lu and those Huaxia people. Likewise, those Huaxia people were scared of Lan Lu and the wolf king.
So now, Lan Lu was praying that none of the two sides would suddenly make a move, because he wouldn’t be able to protect his Chief against both. But, he suddenly changed his expression and slightly turned his head to glance back. Before long, Chang Qingqing showed up.
“I’ve delivered the message to the Chief of All Beings Base. She’s not far away from us. I think she’ll be here in about ten hours, even sooner if she moves fast,” Chang Qingqing walked up to Lan Lu and said, then turned to the cliff and sighed, “Chief’s energy has grown weaker again. I hope he can hang on for another while!”
Lan Lu knitted his eyebrows and said, “What could be different even if he hung on till the last? If we can’t wake him up, his nucleus will probably explode when his energy is consumed up.”
“Really?” Chang Qingqing looked at him and asked, also wearing a frown.
With a sullen face, Lan Lu responded, “He lost control of himself because of a strange type of energy, and his energy erupted to protect him against that energy. When his energy is consumed up, nothing will be left to fight against that strange energy. What do you think will happen by then?”
Chang Qingqing pressed her lips together and fell into silence.
A short while later, she helplessly asked Lan Lu, “What should we do then?”
Lan Lu sighed, “So, all we can do is wait for Miss Lu to come and help us. She might have a way to solve the problem. Didn’t they say that Wu Chengyue was once out of control and then woken up by her? We’ll ask her for help. She might really be able to help us.”
Chang Qingqing thought for a moment, then said, “Are we gonna ask her for help again? We’ve done that once already. We’re owing her more and more. When can we clear the debt?”
Earlier, they had sent some of their own zombies to the zombie lady’s base, and not long ago, Lan Lu accidentally exposed her zombie nature. They owed her for both, and never had a chance to pay her back yet.
That woman was powerful. She rarely needed help, and when she did, Wu Chengyue always grabbed the chance before anyone else could. His base was close to hers anyway while Green Mountain Base was located far away from All Being Base. Every time when Lan Lu and his people heard the news, her problems had already been solved.
“Don’t worry. We’ll always have a chance to pay her back. She can’t possibly keep her nature secret forever. One day, her zombie nature and zombie army will be discovered. By then, she will need us to be on her side,” Lan Lu thought for a moment and then said with a smile.
Chang Qingqing glanced at him expressionlessly, said, “How will you help her? You don’t have weapons or soldiers.”
Lan Lu gave her a bitter smile, “What are you talking about? I am a level-eight superpower possessor after all. I, as an individual, am valuable enough. Don’t underestimate me like that!”
Chang Qingqing rolled her eyes, then turned to the wolf king and said, “The black wolf king is really patient. It’s been so long, but the wolf is still so calm.”
Lan Lu glanced at her with discontentment, “Wolves are always patient for their prey. That is normal. Do you want it to attack our Chief sooner? Why can’t you think about something good?”
“I’m only trying to prepare for both good and bad, so I can react in time no matter what happens,” Chang Qingqing didn’t mind his complaint.
As Lan Lu heard that Lin Qiao was arriving and felt slightly relieved, Huaxia People had also heard the news. Of course, they weren’t as delighted to hear it as Lan Lu was.
“What? That woman is coming here? Why is she coming to the northwest, to Green Mountain Base? Even if Lan Lu had sent out his men to ask for help, she shouldn’t be coming so soon.” Hearing that Lin Qiao was less than four-hundred miles away from the site, Hou Guozhong changed his expression and said with surprise.
Standing beside him, Wei Haichao thought for a moment and said, “I think she had heard about the level-nine man long ago. She came here now because the man is running out of energy. I guess she’s coming for the level-nine energy nucleus too.”
After all, no one could resist the temptation from a level-nine nucleus. Like the others, that woman was ambitious too.
