Chapter 629: Brainwashing
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Qiao took Lin Kui into the small building inside her space, then sat on the couch and said, “See, I didn’t lie to you, did I? You’ve learned that except for the leader and chairmen of Huaxia Base, the other base leaders are all here for the antidote.”
While speaking, she pointed at the spot where Lin Kui sat before and offered him the seat again.
Lin Kui hesitated for a moment, then walked over there and sat down, glancing at the clipboard on the table.
“What do you think? Will you accept my terms? In fact, as long as you don’t get caught by them, you won’t be made into the antidote. However, I can’t make sure if you’ll be able to keep hiding. What if your brain stops working someday? If you come out and get caught again, we’d all be in danger again! Besides, we can’t tell what weapons humans will create in one or two decades to kill zombies,” Lin Qiao looked at him and said.
“Based on the current development of Huaxia Base, they’ll be able to develop other weapons to kill zombies in ten years tops, with their technologies and smart brains. They’ll still be able to destroy zombies even without the antidote. It’s only a matter of time,” Lin Qiao kept talking about the possibilities in the future.
Lin Kui quietly listened to her, his eyes glowing with a dim light. He knew that all she said was true. Based on the current situation, zombies had been developing way slower than humans. Even though the population of humans was growing slowly, they had created weapons. The weapons were one of the most important inventions of human beings. In ten years, newborn human beings would still be too young to fight. However, the weapons could not be ignored.
“Let’s take a step back. In fact, you of all are facing the biggest crisis now, because you have already been discovered. Your blood is able to deliver special effects, so, you are already a target,” Lin Qiao looked at him. As he blinked, she continued.
Lin Kui looked at her expressionlessly.
“Actually, there are other special zombies like us. Their sanity and humanity remained after they turned into zombies. We don’t make a large group, but we are different. Man-eating zombies should die, but why should the ones like us be destroyed along with them? We never ate humans, and never took the initiative to attack them. One purpose of the base that I build is to gather all the zombies who still have humanity, and protect them. They don’t deserve death. They have become zombies, but with human hearts, they are only human beings surviving in a special way…” Lin Qiao started brainwashing Lin Kui.
At last, she made Lin Kui feel that if he refused to join her base, he would die for sure.
“What do you think? Have you made a decision yet? Alright, I’m not asking you to join us right now, but you need to stay with me for now at least… Oh, what about your name? Do you still remember your name?” Lin Qiao finished a long speech, then finally asked Lin Kui’s name. Her speech was so long that after hearing it, Xie Dong and Lu Tianyi who were standing by the door almost couldn’t help but roll their eyes.
Lin Kui too wanted to roll his eyes. However, he didn’t do that, but picked up the clipboard and wrote down two words.
Lin Kui.
“Mr. Lin, nice to meet you. My Family name is Lu, as I’ve told you before. Over there, the man on the left is my brother, Lu Tianyi, and the man on the right is Xie Dong,” Lin Qiao glanced at the clipboard, then greeted him smilingly. After that, she introduced the two by the door.
Hearing Lin Qiao introduce them, Xie Dong and Lu Tianyi both turned their heads around, one expressionlessly and the other with a smile, as they both nodded at Lin Kui.
“Alright. Now that you’re settled, I still need to get a little of the antidote. I heard that you need to burn it so that it can deliver its effect. And, it seems to be effective only on the ordinary zombies. I wonder if can hurt high-leveled zombies too.” While speaking, Lin Qiao stood up, preparing to flash out of the base.
But before leaving, she paused to think for a second, then turned and said to Lin Kui, “Oh, I’ll get you a room to rest. You can go out as well, if you want to take a walk around here.”
Then, she turned and yelled at Lu Tianyi, “Lu Tianyi, get in, get in… Find him a spare room.”
Having finished talking, she disappeared right away.
Lu Tianyi walked over with a weird look on his face.
Before, every time Lu Tianyu called his name, her tone of speaking was either cold or sarcastic. Just now, she called him in such a normal way, which made him feel very strange. But still, he walked over to the stairs and then raised a hand to politely signal for Lin Kui to go upstairs.
Lin Kui understood that he needed to stay there for a while. So, he stood up and followed behind Lu Tianyi.
Lu Tianyi brought up to the second floor and found him a spare room, then went back down. Before long, he returned to the room with some clothes and put them on the chair in the room, then turned and left again.
Lin Kui walked to the chair and saw a note upon the clothes—’We have water in the bathroom. You can take a shower if you want.’
There was only one bathroom on the second floor. While coming up, Lin Kui had looked around and memorized the location of the bathroom.
He lowered his head to look at himself. He was wearing a pair of pants, with his upper body bared.
He picked up the clothes and headed toward the bathroom.
On the outside, Si Kongchen boosted his sensations as much as possible, but still failed to find even a trace of the zombie. Wei Haichao found nothing either.
They were in the woods, yet not even Wei Haichao could detect a thing. Did that zombie hide in a space?
Space!
Si Kongchen suddenly thought of that possibility, but then told himself that that was impossible. If the zombie had a space, why didn’t it enter the space earlier? Why did it wait until all the other base leaders were on the scene? That couldn’t be possible. If the zombie had a space, it would have disappeared long ago! It would never wait until now!
Was it taken by a space possessor? However, to put a level-seven base into his or her space, that space possessor had to be at level-seven or above. As far as he knew, no base had a space possessor above level-seven! Or… had that space possessor been hiding as a secret weapon?
He turned and glanced where the other base leaders had gathered, his eyes showing a fierce look.
Those people must have been laughing at him!
Si Kongchen had no idea that an invisible figure had just brushed across him and moved toward those base leaders. Neither did those base leader notice that Lin Qiao had moved past them and headed toward somewhere in the base.
Before long, Hou Guozhong, who was a Deputy Chief under Si Kongchen’s command, received a report from his subordinate, saying that the last member of the squad, which was responsible for moving the zombie, had gone missing.
