sKong Qingming’s pretty and charming face now wore an icy-cold look while his red eyes glowed with frosty light. The trees that were growing crazily rapid behind him showed how abnormal he was.

“Kong Qingming, what the hell is wrong with you?” Meng Yue shouted at him, but her tone was still soft.

Kong Qingming looked at her coldly, those eyes not containing any emotions. His beautiful face looked like a lifeless robot instead of that of a man.

Once Meng Yue’s voice faded, a maniacal look escaped Kong Qingming’s eyes. Next, he raised both hands and sent the branches from behind him piercing at Xiao Yunlong and Meng Yue.

Meng Yue and Xiao Yunlong reacted simultaneously while the soldiers behind them raised their guns.

“Don’t shoot!” Meng Yue yelled at the soldiers, meaning that she and Xiao Yunlong would deal with the problem themselves.

Meng Yue had green power too, so once she made a move, Kong Qingming’s trees slowed down. Kong Qingming was at a level higher than Meng Yue, so even though she was able to control those trees for a short span of time, they would soon go back under his control.

Thankfully, Xiao Yunlong was there to help. As he raised both hands, the surrounding metal objects flew over and quickly transformed into metal bars, locking Kong Qingming’s hands and putting his arms behind his body.

As a result, Kong Qingming automatically started struggling. However, as Xiao Yunlong was a level higher than him, he wasn’t able to free himself from the former’s power. At last, both his hands were locked behind his body.

Xiao Yunlong flashed up behind him, then raised a hand and knocked on the back of his neck.

Thud! Kong Qingming fell to the ground, his eyes rolled up.

“Bring him downstairs!” Meng Yue and Xiao Yunlong turned and headed toward the stairs. While walking, Meng Yue raised an arm. Following her move, the trees on the hallways shrank to both sides, making a path in the middle.

Downstairs, Xiao Yunlong and his people saw some other soldiers, superpowered people, and strong male commoners carrying some dead bodies out of the building.

“Are these the people who have turned into… I mean, who have died?” With a frown, Xiao Yunlong said to Meng Yue sullenly.

Meng Yue had a depressed look as well as she nodded and said, “Em, I heard from them that all the people who have died or turned into zombies were commoners. The superpowered ones should be all fine…”

She didn’t finish her speech, but turned and glanced at the unconscious Kong Qingming, who was carried by two soldiers.

“This… looks like the apocalypse that happened six years ago,” said Xiao Yunlong glumly.

At that moment, Du Yuanxing came over with his people and said to them, “Chief Xiao, our Chief invited you to take some rest in the conference room. The base is chaotic now, so we need to do a large-range clearance now… Eh? What happened to Deputy Chief Kong?”

Du Yuanxing spotted the unconscious Kong Qingming and asked with confusion.

“For some reason, he suddenly went crazy just now, so we knocked him out. We don’t know what caused his abnormal behavior yet,” Xiao Yunlong nodded as he answered Du Yuanxing’s question.

“Went crazy? What do you mean?” Du Yuanxing stared at Kong Qingming with confusion.

“His mind wasn’t clear, and he attacked us. You guys should be careful too. This might… have something to do with what caused their death.” Xiao Yunlong looked at those dead corpses and said.

After saying that, he turned and headed toward the administration building with his people.

In the conference room, they saw Lin Qiao looking outside the window with a forbidding look. The atmosphere in the room was very stressful. The other people in the room all kept a distance from her, staying absolutely quiet without daring to even breathe loudly. Even the level-seven ones were suppressed by Lin Qiao’s vibe.

Xiao Yunlong glanced at the others. Thinking about the current situation, he understood why Lin Qiao gave out such a stressful vibe.

“Still not figured out the cause? So many people suddenly turned into zombies, and those died such a weird way..,” said Xiao Yunlong.

Lin Qiao turned back and walked to her seat unpleasantly, then pointed at two chairs and said to Xiao Yunlong and Meng Yue, “Please sit down.”

After that, she continued, “We haven’t found out the cause yet. As you may know, we don’t have many experts in this field. Based on the current situation, I think this didn’t only happen in our base.”

Xiao Yunlong paused briefly. He thought for a moment, then responded, “Are you saying that… Is this really the second apocalypse?”

Lin Qiao glanced at him and said, “I’ve sent my people to your base. It’ll take us one or two hours to know the situation there.”

She had such a strong feeling last night. That was probably a sign.

At that moment, a series of noises was suddenly heard from the outside. A strong gust of wind blew into the room from the door and then left through the window. The energy contained in the wind was agitated and disordered, seeming aimless.

Lin Qiao turned and narrowed her eyes. A short while later, Duan Juan ran into the room and said, “Chief, a few superpowered ones over there just went crazy!”

“What happened? What was the noise that we heard just now?” Lin Qiao said with a frown. Clearly, that was not good news.

“Fang Datong went crazy as well. He was behind me and has level-three wind power,” said Duan Juan with a deep frown.

“What is going on? Tell me what do you mean by ‘went crazy’ first?” Lin Qiao asked expressionlessly.

“They suddenly lost their minds, and their powers became uncontrollable. They turned ferocious and attacked everyone they saw. All of them are the same. It happened so suddenly!” said Duan Juan.

“A couple of them? So… it’s not an individual case…” Xiao Yunlong looked at Duan Juan and said to her, then turned to Kong Qingming, who was thrown into a chair in a corner.

Lin Qiao and the others followed his eyes and saw Kong Qingming.

“What happened to him?” Lin Qiao asked. She hadn’t noticed Kong Qingming before.

“As she said, he went crazy, so I knocked him out,” Xiao Yunlong glanced at Duan Juan and said.

Lin Qiao stayed silent, fixing her eyes on Kong Qingming. She thought nothing would happen to the people who had superpowers. Obviously, she was wrong. It just came a little late.

At that point, a series of disordered footstep sounds were heard.

“This is bad! This is bad!” Lin Wenwen’s voice could be heard from the room before she even came in, “Sis… Chief! Tianxing has gone crazy! Go, go, go and take a look at him!” Lin Wenwen rushed into the room in a flurry. She was so anxious that she nearly called Lin Qiao ‘sister’ in front of the others.
