Chapter 1207 - Complicated Relationship

Chapter 1207: Complicated Relationship

At that moment, in a research office in All Beings Base, Leng Xuantong read the file in his hands over and over again, then said sullenly, “So, apart from those underground gorillas, so many new types of underground creatures have come out. Where the hell are those creatures from? Is there a portal leading from the comic world to here underground? Is the portal bringing all the imagined creatures to our world?”

He, of course, was only making a metaphor. Those creatures didn’t seem to belong to this world indeed. They might not be from the comic world, but no one could tell for sure if there were an unknown world underground or not.

On his left side, Lin Hao was sitting on a chair, leaning against the back of the chair as he sighed with a frown. He couldn’t help but complain, “At first, we thought zombies are the most terrifying things in the world, but it turned out that the shortage of food is a lot worse. Then, we found mutated plants and mutated animals. The whole world is mutating, including human beings. And then, the apocalypse happened again. And now, a bunch of strange and powerful creatures have shown up. Why on earth do they all love eating people? Can’t they eat plants? Can’t they eat anything else?”

Leng Xuantong gave him a glance and responded to him with a bitter smile, “Otherwise, why are we calling this time the post-apocalyptic era? It’s like we’ve gone back to the primitive time.”

Lin Hao looked at Leng Xuantong as he adjusted his expression and said, “Alright, enough of the complaining. How’s your research going? Aren’t those underground gorillas afraid of that plant root? Will it work for the other underground creatures?”

“No,” Leng Xuantong shook his head and said, “It’s only effective on the underground gorillas.”

Lin Qiao brought back three different types of underground creatures on her way back to the base for Leng Xuantong to do experiments. She brought two types of creatures alive, and the other one type dead. That creature constantly released poisonous gas when it was alive, and the gas was highly harmful to all living beings near them. Therefore, to make Leng Xuantong’s works easier, Lin Qiao brought a few dead bodies back.

Therefore, Leng Xuantong’s lab had been very busy since Lin Qiao came back.

Lin Hao turned away with disappointment and looked at Yan Huiguang, who had been sitting on the other side and staying silent all the time. “Mr. Yan, haven’t you been making any progress?”

His big sister brought the man back to the base and gave him an independent lab. His assistant was the other man who came to the base together with him.

He remembered hearing from his sister that both the two men reacted strongly when she arranged them to work together. At last, she used violence to make them follow her order. Lin Hao didn’t know about the relationship between the two men, but he believed that his sister made the arrangement for a good reason.

Yan Huiguang had his head slightly dropped. His long hair covered a big half of his face, disabling the others from seeing his facial expression. However, one did not need to look at his face to feel the cold vibe coming from him.

Hearing Lin Hao’s question, he slightly raised his head and said with a cold smile, “Would human beings need to worry about those creatures if my research could make progress so easily?”

No progress was made, clearly. His tone of speaking just could not be friendly.

Lin Hao looked at him, then turned to make eye-contact with Leng Xuantong. They both made no reaction to Yan Huiguang’s tone, because Lin Qiao had warned them about that. She told them he was a man with an eccentric personality.

Thankfully, Lin Qiao had warned them beforehand. If she didn’t, the short-tempered Lin Hao could pick up a fight with that man in a minute when the man talked to him with that kind of tone.

However, the man was a level-seven, dual-powered being. The only outcome of Lin Hao fighting him would be him being tortured. If the man was in a bad mood, he might even take his life.

Therefore, Lin Hao shrugged as he gave the man a fake smile and said, “So… work hard.”

As Yan Huiguang’s assistant, Shui Mingjun was sitting on the side as well. Hearing what Lin Hao said, he couldn’t help but glance at Yan Huiguang and say, “You could have turned into a zombie and never worried about those creatures.”

On hearing that, Yan Huiguang’s sullen face instantly grew even darker.

Shui Mingjun was satirizing him, because he couldn’t even become a zombie now. Last time, he drank the zombie drug, but the zombie lady stopped him from becoming a zombie. After that, he took the drug again and even got himself bitten by zombies, but nothing ever happened to him!

What on earth did that zombie lady do to him?

Yesterday, he studied his own blood, and the result was bizarre. As for those underground creatures that Lin Hao and Leng Xuantong were worried about, he hadn’t really started studying them actually.

Hearing Shui Mingjun’s words, he snorted and responded quickly with, “If it weren’t for that zombie woman, I’d have become a zombie long ago.”

He sounded strongly unhappy about what Lin Qiao had done to him.

Lin Hao and Leng Xuantong looked at him in a weird way. It was the first time they met a man who was so eager to become a zombie. Becoming a zombie meant death, and most human beings feared death.

Leng Xuantong slightly dropped his eyelids; he didn’t want to become a zombie. He was grateful for what Lin Qiao helped him to achieve. In her base, he was allowed to let out his zombie wife and son, instead of freezing them like before. Unlike the other zombies outside, they didn’t lose their humanity and soul.

Because of Lin Qiao, both his wife and son were behaving well. He got along with them peacefully, and they could even help him with the work. Before, he couldn’t even imagine that.

To his surprise, someone would rather become a zombie than being a human being. Well in fact, after knowing all kinds of high-leveled zombies in Lin Qiao’s base, Leng Xuantong felt that being a zombie was not so bad.

They were stronger than humans, and they weren’t affected by either cold or heat. They didn’t need food, because their energy nuclei kept them alive.

Before Lin Hao and Leng Xuantong recovered from the shock caused by Yan Huiguang’s zombie dream, Shui Mingjun said coldly, “Yeah, you are just so weak. You are a dual-powered level-seven being, yet you still needed to strengthen yourself by turning into a zombie. Actually, the zombies that you created during your experiment could only keep their original power levels. That was not remarkable.”

Lin Hao and Leng Xuantong both turned to Shui Mingjun silently. The look on their faces was a little indescribable. The atmosphere between Shui Mingjun and Yan Huiguang seemed to be a little complicated.

They watched the look on Yan Huiguang’s face grow sulkier and sulkier, and felt his vibe became tenser and tenser. Somehow, they felt that something seemed to be happening between those two men.

What was their relationship with each other?
