The two of them glanced at each other, then Yuan Tianxing said, “They aren’t the same Lu Tianyu, are they?”

Du Yuanxing looked at him embarrassedly and responded, “Eh…I think, I’m not sure.”

Yuan Tianxing crossed his arms before his chest and murmured, “But I heard that Lu Tianyu was thrown into a zombie crowd. She should either be dead or turned into a zombie.”

“Eh…isn’t the Lu Tianyu we know a zombie?” Said Du Yuanxing, “And she’s from Sea City too.”

Yuan Tianxing shook his head and said, “We can’t conclude that she’s her only because they have the same name. Besides, I heard that the Lu Tianyu in Sea City Base was an evil woman. As for the one we know, I can’t see through her.”

Du Yuanxing shrugged, as he didn’t know more than Yuan Tianxing did.

At night, Yuan Tianxing made a long list of the technicists he needed, as well as the requirements and rewards. Next day, he asked Du Yuanxing to send the list to Yan Fangyu.

In the afternoon, a man found Yuan Tianxing in a hurry.?The latter thought that the man came for a job interview, but as he looked at him closely, he recognized that man as a friend; also someone he was looking for.

“Lin Yu? Why are you alone? What happened to you? Where’re the others?”

Lin Yu’s whole body was covered in dust and wounds. His face was pale, his eyes showing anxiousness. Yuan Tianxing looked at him with surprise and asked the above questions.

“De-Deputy Chief…” Lin Yu bent over as he put a hand on the doorframe to support his body and sighed with relief. Right after calling Yuan Tianxing, he softly fell to the ground.

“Eh!” Yuan Tianxing and Du Yuanxing hurriedly held him up and brought him into the room.

It was already dark by the time Lin Yu woke up.?He sat up from the bed and turned to look at Yuan Tianxing, who was sitting on a couch and reading a book.

“Deputy Chief!”

Hearing him, Yuan Tianxing immediately looked at him and said, “You’re awake!”?Then, he stood up, picked up a glass of water from the table before him, and handed it to Lin Yu while speaking, “Drink some water first...Take your time if you need to tell me something.”

Lin Yu took over the glass and emptied it.

Yuan Tianxing took the empty glass and put it on the table, then grabbed a chair to sit down. After that, he looked at Lin Yu and started asking questions.

“Tell me, what happened?”

Lin Yu looked at Yuan Tianxing and said with emotion, “I didn’t know that you’d be in Sea City Base. We…We heard about what happened in our base, and we didn’t want to believe it. Now, since you’re here, I guess that’s real. Great Captain and the others…”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As Lin Yu was talking a little incoherently, Yuan Tianxing waved a hand at him and said, “Calm down first...Listen to my question, then answer it.”

Seeing his gesture, Lin Yu forced himself to calm down, then nodded at him.

Yuan Tianxing looked at him and asked, “Let me tell you about our situation first. You may have heard what happened in our base. In fact, all the other bases have known about it by now. Our base is gone, and our leader…We don’t know if she’s alive or dead yet. We heard that she blew herself up, but I didn’t see it with my own eyes, so I don’t believe it.”

Lin Yu wore a lifeless expression. He had prepared himself for this since long ago, but after hearing his Deputy Chief confirm it, he still couldn’t accept it.

“How can it be…How can it be…!”

“Calm down!” Yuan Tianxing comforted him, “Except for Chief, Lin Feng and his family are all fine. They’ve made it to Sea City as well. You see, I’m here to find technicists.”

“So what Yang Jianhua said is real?” Lin Yu suddenly asked a question, then raised his head to look at Yuan Tianxing, who was smiling. But on hearing Lin Yu’s words, the smile on his face faded gradually.

“You met Yang Jianhua?” With a dark face and a frown, he asked.?Lin Yu nodded, then said angrily, “Deputy Chief, didn’t you ask me why I am alone? All the others were caught by him two days ago.”

Yuan Tianxing puzzled at first, then asked in shock, “They were caught? What were you doing when you met him?”

“It’s because Chief Purple Thunder from Sea City Base, also known as Chief Wu, received a message from our base and learned about what happened to Great Captain and his people, so he decided to send out a team to help them. We found out about it, so we joined the team, even though we didn’t want to believe it.”

“You mean Chief Wu has sent people to help Lin Feng? But, we didn’t see anyone come to our aid.” Yuan Tianxing said with surprise.

Lin Yu nodded and said, “He did send out a team, and our squad followed them out as well. However, we didn’t figure out which path and direction Great Captain was taking. We searched for a few days, but failed to find even a trace of Great Captain and his people. At last, we ran into Yang Jianhua.”

“So you know what Yang Jianhua did?” Asked Yuan Tianxing calmly.

“We don’t need to. He didn’t see anything when he saw us, but directly attacked. The others were either killed or captured by him,” said Lin Yu with a dark face.?Hearing that, Yuan Tianxing bent over and put his elbows on his knees; his hands crossed, and his head rested on the back of his hands.

“So how did you make it back alone? Did you escape? Or, did he let you go on purpose?”

“I escaped!” said Lin Yu, “I wasn’t there, so Yang Jianhua didn’t see me, and only caught the others. I was hiding aside and watching, so he didn’t find me.”

“You’re really lucky,” Yuan Tianxing looked at him and said, “So, you came back alone?”

Lin Yu nodded and said, “After defeating the others, Yang Jianhua said something in front of them. I heard what he said.”

“What did he say?” Yuan Tianxing gave an icy-cold smile and asked.?Seeing that smile, Lin Yu felt that his hair were standing on their ends. “Eh, he said that the Hades Base belongs to him now, and that he’s the Chief. He said that the ones who are willing to follow him will be able to return to the Hades Base, and that Lin Wenwen will become his, both her body and her heart. After that, he laughed wildly.”

“Hehe, he’s really ambitious…” said Yuan Tianxing with that cold smile, “…and shameless!”

“Why did he…betray our Chief?” Lin Yu asked confusedly.

“Who knows?” Yuan Tianxing responded, “But, don’t worry about Lin Feng and the others. They’re all fine now.”

“I was all alone, so I didn’t know what to do,” said Lin Yu, “I couldn’t defeat him or save them, so I came back. Unexpectedly, when I got back, I heard that you’re here to find us.”

“Thankfully, you’re back! Otherwise, my trip here would be meaningless,” Yuan Tianxing said.
