Chapter 1003 - The Long Haired Man

The black panther quietly looked at Lin Qiao when a hand suddenly reached to him and rubbed his head.

“Wow! So, this is your power! So cute! You are a big cat!” Qiu Lili suddenly turned her glowing eyes to Lin Kui’s fluffy head while quickly rubbing that head with both hands. His soft and smooth hair made her reluctant to let go.

She was actually an animal lover. Unlike some other girls who loved small, mild animals, she liked the big and wild ones. She found the wild animals somehow adorable. Of course, before the apocalypse, she rarely had opportunities to see large wild animals, not to mention petting them.

She had noticed the black panther earlier. If she didn’t recognize him as Lin Kui by his scent, she would have thought that he was a wild mutated black panther.

She was thrilled to find out that the panther was actually someone she knew, because that meant she could rub his head! She didn’t know the guy could turn into a cat.

Lin Kui was a little stunned as the girl’s little hand was rubbing his head.

People said that a girl’s waist could not be touched without permission. The same thing could also be said about a guy’s head! Even though he was now in his cat shape… well, panther shape actually, his head still could not be touched! He was a man after all! Was she flirting with him?

More and more zombies gathered around the battlefield. Some of them joined the battle while some moved toward All Beings Base to block the way from the battlefield to the base. If Lin Qiao and her zombies were defeated, those creatures still wouldn’t be able to go straight to the base, and would need to go through the zombie crowd.

At that point, a few figures showed up near the Sky Fire Base. Except for the one at the front, none of the others showed any vital signs. The one at the front was wearing a long, black wind coat and a black hat. Under that hat, his shoulder-length hair spread messily around his shoulders, almost covering his entire face.

He had a masculine body shape, and was at least six-feet tall.

In the darkness, the mysterious man walked into the safe zone of Sky Fire Base, followed by five or six people who didn’t seem alive at all. They moved forward step by step; a few groups of soldiers passed by on patrol, but none discovered them.

After making a few steps forward, they suddenly disappeared, soon showing up on top of a building inside the base.

Li Zhengye came out of the bathroom that was located on the second floor, heading toward his bedroom. He stopped moving all of a sudden and blinked, then turned to give a glance at the stairs. After that, he went back into his bedroom as if nothing happened.

A while later, he walked out of the bedroom, wearing not pajamas, but leisure clothing. He headed downstairs, but saw a man sitting on the couch in the dark living room from the stairs. It was so dark that he couldn’t see the man’s face or clothes.

Clap! Li Zhengye turned on the light in the living room, then looked at the man and said smilingly, “Ah, you’re back so soon. I thought it would take you two more months to come back here. How did it go? Did you get it?”

The man took off his hat and showed his sullen face. He had relatively manly facial features, but it was softened by his vibe and messy, long hair.

The look in his eyes was very cold while his lips were pressed tightly together. Hearing Li Zhengye’s question, he responded, “No. That man is at level-nine. He’s out of control. No one can stop him.”

His voice was surprisingly clear and pleasant to the ears. It was a little dry though, as if he hadn’t talked for a long time.

Li Zhengye paused briefly, then pulled a long face and said, “What? Why did you come back so early then? Didn’t I tell you that I want his nucleus? Even if you can’t get it, you can’t let it fall into the hands of Huaxia people or Green Mountain people!”

The long-haired man gave him a cold glance and said, “He didn’t die. No one gets his nucleus. Not us, not anyone else.”

“Is that why you came back so early?” Li Zhengye looked back at him, also coldly, as he snorted and asked a question.

“Did I say that I gave up? I only said that no one can stop him now.” The man gave him another glance, then turned his face away.

“So you…” Li Zhengye looked at him with confusion. The angry look on his face was eased slightly.

The long-haired man abruptly gave a wicked smile and said, “I brought you a gift.” While speaking, he clapped his hands.

Following his words, five or six men walked in and stood in a straight line between the two of them.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Zhengye raised his head to look at them, then paused with surprise. He looked at that man uncertainly and asked, “Are they… dead?”

Those people had dark and lusterless eyes with dark circles underneath. Their skin was bluish pale, and their lips were purple, like the lips of the people who were poisoned to death. None of them had any vibe.

However, Li Zhengye watched them walk in! They were dead! How come they could still walk!

“They are dead, and they are also alive,” said the long-haired man.

“What do you mean?” Li Zhengye looked at him confusedly, “Is this the gift that you talked about?”

The long-haired man shook his head and said, “No. They’re only a few of them. Many more of them are outside the base. I can’t bring them all in. These are the strongest ones, also the most ‘undead’ ones. I also brought you a message that will surprise you.”

Li Zhengye looked at him, then at the few walking dead. “What message?” he said, “Explain this first.”

“Can’t you see?” said the man, “They are infected by the zombie virus. They are dead, but they still have some of their memories and subconsciousness. They can even understand some of my simple orders.”

While speaking, he waved his hand to signal for those dead people to leave. Following his movement, those dead people immediately turned and walked away. The way they walked was exactly like how normal people walked.

Li Zhengye fell into silence. He thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something. “How are you gonna use them?” he said.

They had turned into zombies, but could still move like normal people. With some disguise on the faces, they might be able to make a way into the other bases to carry some secret missions. Not to mention anything else, they could, at least, bring the zombie virus into the other bases.

Among all that people were afraid of at present, the zombie virus was definitely on top of the list. A base would be undoubtedly thrown into panic and chaos if the virus seeped in. If some extra accidents were added, the results could be easily foreseen.

Thinking about that, Li Zhengye had his eyes glowing.

“They can do a lot more than getting into the other bases to spread the virus,” said the long-haired man while his eyes shone with a bright, cunning light.
