“Based on what happened before, Hidden Cloud City Base will certainly take action against Sky Fire Base. As for Earth Dragon Base, I guess they didn’t take that base seriously. But now, this mysterious Green Mountain Base has emerged suddenly, and it appears to be considerably strong. Hidden Cloud City Base will be afraid of it for sure,” Xiao Licheng followed Wu Chengyue’s thoughts.

“That’s right. No one will make a rash move when there is a big tiger which scares everyone,” Wu Chengyue said smilingly.

In that building, the leaders of the other bases had been talking about the same thing.

“If Lu Zhuofeng dares to attack us, we will confront him face to face. We can claim that he killed our leader, He Mu, while destroying Earth Dragon Base with foul means. Then, we can make his base be responsible for Hades Base’s destruction. Then, all the other bases will target Hidden Cloud City Base, because they have violated the common rules of all human survivors and deliberately broken the balance between all the bases. In that case, all bases will join hands to punish them.” In the room of Sky Fire Base, leader Li Zhengye was sitting on a couch and talking with a calm look. Clearly, he didn’t care much about He Mu who was missing, and Lu Zhuofeng who had broken into level-eight. “Currently, our main mission is to fight against the zombies out there after all,” he continued.

Li Zhengye’s name sounded righteous. He was about six-feet-tall, not fat but not slim either. He looked rather young—about thirty-years-old—and that was his real age.

He had snow power, which was a special type of superpower. Snow power couldn’t be used for launching a fierce attack, but could allow its possessors to control the air temperature. After entering level-seven, Li Zhengye was able to drop the air temperature in the area a mile around him to fifty degrees below zero. If the range went smaller, he would be able to make the air temperature go even lower than that.

Ice-powered people were able to freeze people to death. Unlike them, Li Zhengye had the power to kill people with coldness.

When the air temperature went down to seventy to eighty degrees below zero, the functions of human bodies would be slowed down. Under such a low temperature, superpowered people wouldn’t be frozen, only being disabled from controlling their limbs, but commoners would die.

That was why people called Li Zhengye ‘the Martian’. After all, the air temperature on Mars was eighty-degrees below zero.

Sitting next to him was Xu Changmu, a level-six man, also a vice-leader of Sky Fire Base.

He nodded and said, “You’re right. Where are those Green Mountain Base people from? We haven’t heard anything about that base before, but they just showed up so suddenly this time. Their leader is a level-eight man. I wonder if he’s even a little stronger than Lu Zhuofeng. After all, Lu Zhuofeng has just entered that level.”

“Who knows! The two of them need to pick up a fight to find that out. I’m no match for either of them anyway,” Li Zhengye glanced outside the window and said.

“Now, Huaxia Base, Sea City Base, Hidden Cloud City Base, and Green Mountain Base all have level-eight people. We have been falling far behind them,” Xu Changmu frowned.

“What can we do about that? If we had gotten Netherworld Fire’s nucleus last time, Gu Yikang might have made the breakthrough already. I just didn’t expect He Mu to be so incapable!” Mentioning He Mu, Li Zhengye made a frown with disappointment.

“That’s true. They both have fire power. No one’s nucleus is more suitable for Gu Yikang than Netherworld Fire’s,” Xu Changmu nodded.

“That’s what I think. However, they actually let Netherworld Fire blow herself up. Didn’t they say that she was already controlled with the drug?” Li Zhengye said with slight anger.

“No one could have predicted that. That woman was never weak. She detonated herself and then created a poisonous area, causing trouble even after her death,” Xu Changmu sighed.

“Tell me about it,” Li Zhengye nodded, but soon changed the topic, “We don’t even know where Green Mountain Base is. Are those people the strongest ones from their base? Or, are they only a part of them?”

“I believe we’ll soon find out. They have shown up now, so I think they don’t worry that people might try to dig out their background information. When they leave Huaxia, we’ll have our people follow behind them. Maybe we’ll find some clues,” Xu Changmu thought for a moment and said.

“That’ll work if they want us to know about their base,” Li Zhengye said.

When the others were talking about them, Green Mountain Base people were talking about something else in their room.

“Didn’t that base send anyone here?” Lan Lu was a level-eight man. No outsider knew what power he had.

“We haven’t received any news about that, neither seen any suspicious people enter this base. According to our scouts in Upper City District, those people are all staying in their base,” Zheng Hao, who was sitting on the couch beside Lan Lu, said.

Lan Lu was wearing a pair of glasses, looking rather gentle and energetic. He was a little slim, and his skin was white. His hair were neatly cut, and his eyes were bright.

The expressionless Lei Cheng was sitting in an armchair. “Should we visit them when our work here is done?” he said, “A bunch of people will be following us by then anyway. We can conveniently draw their attention to Upper City District.”

“That’s actually a good idea. But, I want to take some of that antidote back to our base as soon as possible, then study it. You two lead the others to Hangzhou while I will return to our base,” Lan Lu thought briefly, then replied.

“But, those people are pretty hard to deal with,” Lei Cheng glanced at him and said.

Lan Lu gave him a glance and said, “What do you mean by ‘deal with?’ Who asked you to deal with them? Can’t you just visit them honestly? Bring some gifts! Their new base is still in construction, so they must be lacking stones and other constructional materials. If you bring them some strong adhesive, they’ll be much more friendly to you. You need to visit them amicably and kindly. We don’t want them to be our enemies. Make your standpoint clear. Do you understand?”

“I get it,” Lei Cheng replied.

“Think about it,” Lan Lu continued explaining, “They are able to live together with zombies peacefully like us. They must have their own way to do that. They can also make zombies talk. I think they won’t give us a hard time, as we are in the same kind of situation as them. After all, they’re living with special zombies too. We both are in the same boat. As long as we do not do them any harm, they won’t push us off the boat. After all, that might destroy both our base and theirs.”

Lei Cheng didn’t say anything, but only nodded.

“I think they’ll certainly be here. After all, Huaxia people developed the antidote to kill zombies. It’s a big problem for us, so it must be the same for them. They won’t just ignore it, will they?” Zheng Hao abruptly joined the conversation.
