Chapter 1315: Women and Children
“Alright, stop it!” Lin Qiao turned and glanced at the one behind the big red cat.
Bowwow, who was sneakily inching his way to the cat, immediately stopped moving and wagged his tail disappointedly as he hopped to Lin Qiao’s side. She looked at the cat and thought for a moment before giving it a roar. “Roar?” ‘Are there more? The fruit?’
She wanted to collect more of the fruits that the big cat brought to her earlier. Those would probably be helpful for her and her team during the rest of their journey underground.
The big cat stood up and raised a paw before waving at Lin Qiao. Then, it turned around and leaped forward after giving Lin Qiao a glance.
“Go!” Lin Qiao gave her order immediately and quickly followed behind the cat. Following her movement, some figures flashed out of the woods in the behind and quietly followed her and the cat.
Black and his friends swiftly followed Lin Qiao as well.
About two miles away, Xie Longyun turned and glanced at the area where Lin Qiao and her people were and stopped paying attention to it.
“Is it those people?” The vice-captain beside her noticed her movement and asked her a question.
“No,” Xie Longyun shook her head and said, “It’s just a few mutated beasts.”
“The mutated beasts down here should be the same as the ones on the earth’s surface, right?” said the vice-captain with disappointment, “Do we really not need to keep looking for those people from All Beings Base and Sea City Base?”
“They’re already alert against us,” said Xie Longyun, “We can’t find them now. It’s pointless wasting our time searching for them. So now, we might as well take a look at this underground space. Maybe we’ll get lucky and run into them.”
“You’re right,” the vice-captain nodded. Soon, the group of people took out all kinds of detection devices to collect all sorts of information about the underground space.
…
At that time in the Chief’s office in Huaxia Base, Si Kongchen was sitting in his chair expressionlessly, leaning against the back of the chair and resting his elbows on the chair arms, his fingers rubbing each other and eyes staring at the desk. A while later, someone showed up by the door of his office.
Wei Haichao gently knocked on the door before coming in.
“Did you find anything?” Si Kongchen asked a question at the sight of him.
Wei Haichao shook his head and said with frustration, “No. We didn’t even find their dead bodies. It’s weird. Lin Feng was the only level-seven being in All Beings Base at that time, and he’s new in that level. He shouldn’t be strong enough to fight against our people, not to mention that Squad Two and Three both gave up on the mission in Sea City Base and went to All Beings Base to aid their captain that night. We’ve sent three level-seven men and hundreds at levels five and six. All Beings Base is just a small base founded a year ago, but they actually destroyed that whole batch of people we sent to them without their Chief on the scene. I think this All Beings Base is getting weirder and weirder!”
With a sullen face, Si Kongchen said, “That woman is the strongest one in their base. Lin Feng is at level-seven, but he only upgraded recently. He might be able to fight one of our level-seven men, but the one who fought him was the captain. He couldn’t possibly kill the captain.”
He couldn’t figure out how those people were killed. He, of course, didn’t think that his people might still be alive after losing contact with the base. Normally, the only possible explanation for people disappearing without a trace like that was that they had all been eliminated by the enemy.
The people he sent to All Being Base were undoubtedly powerful enough to destroy the small base entirely. How on earth did they end up being crushed by that small base? There must be something about that base he didn’t know yet. That base had been mysterious all the time. They were probably keeping some big secret or possessing some super-powerful weapons.
“Keep looking! Since they’re so difficult, we’ll change our way. We don’t have to fight them face-to-face!” Si Kongchen gave Wei Haichao his order with a cold voice.
Wei Haichao hesitated for a moment and said, “But, we’ve tried everything we could. How are we supposed to keep looking? We can’t even approach their base. Without a way into their base, we can’t get any useful leads.”
“What about Sea City Base? Still nothing?” Si Kongchen knitted his brows and asked.
Wei Haichao spread his hands and said, “We’ve looked in Sea City Base too. All Beings Base shipped some goods into Sea City Base every a few days in secret. Apart from that, we didn’t find anything else. Oh, a few days ago, Lin Feng’s sister, Lin Wenwen, brought over ten-thousand people to All Beings Base from Sea City Base. Actually, I’ve been trying to find an opportunity to put some of our people into All Beings Base during this couple of days.”
“How’s it going?” On hearing that, Si Kongchen had his eyes glowing.
Wei Haichao shook his head and said, “It’s not gonna happen anytime soon. I haven’t gotten an opportunity yet. I need time.”
Si Kongchen furrowed his brows and said, “But we don’t have much time left. If we can’t bring down this suspicious All Beings Base, they might ruin our plan of invading Sea City Base. We have to figure out All Beings Base’s secret as soon as possible. We absolutely cannot let anything threaten our plan of invading Sea City Base.”
Wei Haichao knitted his eyebrows as well. Si Kongchen’s order lay an obvious pressure on him. All he could do was to try his best to accomplish that mission. “I get it. I’ll do my best to find a way.”
“Wait! Since we can’t get Wu Chengyue’s children, we should seek a chance to get Lin Feng’s sister or wife, or his child,” Si Kongchen blinked his eyes and came up with an idea. Abducting women and children would certainly be much easier than hurting Lin Feng.
“But, his wife and daughter never leave the base,” Wei Haichao said, seeming embarrassed, “How are we gonna do anything to them?”
Si Kongchen glanced at him and said, “Can’t you find a way to lure then out? But, better not to choose the ones who have recently joined All Being Base from Sea City Base for the job. Lin Feng will certainly stay vigilant against those people, as it was such a large batch of people that joined their base this time. You can choose the ones responsible for shipping goods from All Being Base to Sea City Base. They might provide you with a bigger chance. You can also find someone from Sea City Base. Keep a close eye on both the bases. There will be a chance.”
“I get it,” Wei Haichao thought for a moment and said.
Si Kongchen waved at him, prepared to tell him to leave. But then, something else crossed his mind. “Oh, haven’t you found anything about Yuan Tianxing still?” he said, “Something must have happened to him, or else the woman wouldn’t put Lin Feng in charge of the base before she left.”
Recently, Lin Feng had been the one managing All Beings Base, and Yuan Tianxing had disappeared without a trace. Something must have happened to him.
