Chapter 642: An Interruption

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The tense atmosphere was eased a little by the wine. However, some people started feeling that the tense atmosphere was better.

With a meaningful smile, Li Zhengye said, “I heard that Huaxia Base was trying to relocate the zombie, but it ran the way suddenly. I wonder if that’s real. Chief Si, do you care to explain that? Earlier on, you seemed to suspect that someone stole the zombie.”

Hearing his words, Si Kongchen and the few board members of Huaxia Base had their faces darkened.

“Ah, Chief Li, you shouldn’t say that. Perhaps, Chief Si misunderstood us. How could you call it suspect? Besides, Chief Si didn’t say it out loud, right?” Lu Zhuofeng explained for Si Kongchen.

“Eh? Did that happen? Why didn’t I know that Chief Si had suspected us?” Lan Lu laughed.

“Ah, about that. I only know that the zombie has run away, right? That zombie seems to be rather capable!” Wu Chengyue joined the conversation, also with laughter.

It was exactly the right time to point fingers at Huaxia Base. The effect of the antidote would soon be shown. They mentioned that thing now, so that they would have an excuse to bargain later.

However, they didn’t want to make the atmosphere too tense. What if Huaxia people got angry and canceled the trade? Therefore, when Li Zhengye mentioned that thing, the others hurriedly made jokes to ease the tension and evade the issue.

Si Kongchen pulled a long face. He soon adjusted his expression, but still remained silent. Unlike him, Hu Zhiyong and Liu Zhinan handled the situation more smoothly.

“Well, that… might be a misunderstanding. We really shouldn’t reach any conclusion before finding out the truth, right?” Liu Zhinan responded, then smilingly glanced at the others and continued, “Besides, we are not sure yet whether the zombie ran out by itself or if it was taken away by someone.”

He didn’t admit it, but he didn’t deny it either. Based on his words, Huaxia Base would hold an ambiguous attitude until the truth was found out. So, in the end, Huaxia Base people didn’t dare to make a compromise.

“I think the first generation of your antidote is not good enough. I’m actually more interested in the results of the second and the third phases of your experiment. I wonder what the later generation antidotes can do,” Lan Lu said smilingly.

“Oh, I agree with Chief Lan about that. The first generation antidote seems to deliver very little effect. I don’t think it can be helpful,” Lu Zhuofeng shook the wine glass in his hand. After speaking, he poured some wine into his mouth.

“Everyone, please be patient! Before learning about the result of the second and third phases of our experiment, you need to know the basic effects of the antidote, so that you’ll know about its real value,” Hu Zhiyong said to the others with composure.

“Could it be…” Lu Zhuofeng poured himself another glass of wine. He spent a short while staring at the glass, then said with hesitation, “Could it be someone from the new base in Hangzhou who played the trick?”

“The one in Upper City District? How could that be possible? Do they have the power to do that? Hehe…” Si Kongchen snorted scornfully. He hadn’t been taking that small base seriously. After all, they had less than five-thousand people, and they hadn’t even built up their fence wall.

“Chief Si, I wonder how much you know about that new base in Upper City District,” Lu Zhuofeng suddenly gave a smile.

“I think I know them better than you guys.” The smiling Wu Chengyue abruptly joined the conversation, “I’m closer to them after all! Besides, I’m in cooperation with that new base. Chief Lu, since you are so curious about them, why didn’t you ask me?”

He said that Lu Zhuofeng was curious, but clearly, the latter’s words didn’t contain that kind of meaning. Instead, he was only trying to deliver some kind of information to Huaxia Base. However, as Wu Chengyue interrupted the conversation, the other might think that he was really curious. So, they got curious as well.

“Yeah. I heard that the people who built that base are the survivors from Hades Base, right?” said Gao Haoyun.

“Hades Base is gone. Are they going to build a new Hades Base?” Li Zhengye said with a strange tone.

“Hehe… Speaking of the destruction of Hades Base, Chief Li, your base was a part of that. That is not good. We humans should unite. Otherwise, how are we supposed to destroy the zombies which are spreading all over the world?” Liu Zhinan said with a faint smile.

“Don’t just say that to me. Hidden Cloud City Base fought a lot harder than us,” Li Zhengye raised his brows and slightly widened his eyes as he laughed.

Right now was the hardest time for the mankind; the most important thing was to develop. Under the current situation, fighting each other was clearly unwise. Therefore, that event was not a glorious thing to mention. For that exact reason, Li Zhengye brought up Hidden Cloud City Base. They did do it anyway, so he wouldn’t let himself become the only target.

Being interrupted by Wu Chengyue, the conversation was instantly run off-topic.

Lu Zhuofeng paused briefly, then soon changed his words. With a smile, he said to Wu Chengyue, “Ah, you are right! But, we were only helping the Earth Dragon Base. We didn’t take an initiative to offend Hades Base. Besides, we tried to talk that idiot Long Yubai out of it. He wouldn’t listen to me. What could I do?”

After saying that, he glanced at Li Zhengye, then at Wu Chengyue as he continued, “Alright, both the destruction of Hades Base and what Earth Dragon Base suffered are bygones. Now, Hades Base survivors are building a new base. As their neighbors, Sea City Base should know them better than we do. That’s what I think.”

“That’s right! The people in the new base are indeed the survivors from Hades Base, that you know about. They were really miserable. At first, there were only about ten of them, and they came to my base to borrow people. I have lent them about a thousand people in total. Later on, the captives who were kept in the old Hades Base suddenly launched a successful counterstrike. I guess it was because the soldiers from Earth Dragon Base didn’t guard them well enough. After that, thousands of Hades Base people were brought back to Upper City Base. I also heard that those survivors divided into two groups. A small group of them are still living in that broken old Hades Base now.” As Lu Zhuofeng drew the topic to him, Wu Chengyue generously shared the information he knew with the others.

“Chief Wu, I guess you have really done them a favor by generously sending them help.” Si Kongchen joined the conversation expressionlessly.
