Chapter 633: Chapter 633: Heading to City A

“Yueer, I want to know your future plans,”

Lian Zongren asked earnestly. Now that Lian Jiyue had recovered, he also wanted to know what his plans were.

“If nothing unexpected happens, I should probably stay with the Heart Talk Team from now on,”

Lian Jiyue replied.

Lian Zongren was somewhat surprised, but at the same time, he was relieved. He had thought that Lian Jiyue would rush back to the E city base at the first opportunity to seek revenge against the Han Family. He did not want the situation to escalate to that extent, nor did he want the two brothers to become enemies. Fortunately, it seemed like Lian Jiyue had no such intentions.

“I visited the E city base a few days ago. I also wanted to persuade father that it would be best not to go back there,”

Lian Jiyue’s purpose for the trip was also out of concern for Lian Zongren. The E city had obviously fallen completely into the hands of the Han Family.

“You’ve been there?”

Lian Zongren was surprised. What was he doing there?

“Yes, I went back to get some things, but I also discovered a problem. The people from our Lian family… they’ve all disappeared,”

Lian Jiyue said.

“Disappeared? How could that be?”

Lian Zongren couldn’t believe it. He had a number of capable subordinates in the past; how could they all just vanish?

“I’m afraid it’s more likely bad news than good,”

Lian Jiyue thought of the Multi-Element Zombies that Lu Hao had told him about in the past few days. Most of them were transformed from humans, which made him highly suspicious that the research institute was behind the disappearances of his subordinates.

“This Han Yizhou!”

Lian Zongren was incredulously angry. The E city base, which he had built with his own hands, was actually being used for such purposes!

“But it was lost on my watch,”

Lian Jiyue sighed. He still felt some unwillingness in his heart; if he hadn’t been too negligent, he wouldn’t have fallen for their schemes, and those former subordinates would probably all be fine.

“Yueer, Ze… he has also been keeping up with your news. You two…”

In the past few days, Lian Zongren had also visited Lian Ze. Lian Ze had always been the same, but Moli had told him a lot about Lian Ze.

“Father, that we can maintain things like this is already a good situation,”

Lian Jiyue said. He owed nothing to anyone, least of all to Lian Ze, but he didn’t want to pretend that everything was fine either. After all, too much had happened at the E city base, and he even suspected that Lian Ze had a hand in that pharmaceutical.

So, mutual trust between them was an impossibility.

“I understand,”

Lian Zongren nodded. Let it be, then. As long as his two sons were safe and sound, that would be his happiness for the rest of his life…

…

The communication facilities of the S city base were completely set up now, with some public phone booths on the road of the base. One could use them at will just by swiping a points card, and the cost was not expensive.

Liang Jiuhui was the first to try calling the villa of the Heart Talk Team.

The call was answered by Mao Qiqi, whose crisp, childlike voice was exceptionally adorable.

“What?! Lu Hao and Su Jin have all gone out? Left the base?!”

Liang Jiuhui stood up in surprise. Wasn’t Lu Hao the one who doted on his wife the most? Why had he taken Su Jin out now?

“Yes, it’s okay. Sister Xiao Jin just went out to clear her mind, which is also good for the babies,”

Mao Qiqi was holding a pen in her hand; she had just been practicing writing at home.

“Well, Qiqi didn’t follow along?”

Liang Jiuhui, wanting to test the call quality, ended up chatting with Mao Qiqi for a full twenty minutes before he finally hung up with an auntie’s smile plastered on his face.

Chatting with a smart little one actually lifted his spirits quite a bit.

“Whose call was that?”

Lian Jiyue was holding Mao Qiqi’s textbooks in one hand and reviewing her homework with the other.

“Uhm, it was the Base Leader’s.”

Mao Qiqi ran to the table in her pink slippers, and when she saw the circles that Lian Jiyue had drawn on her notebook to indicate errors, she immediately felt unhappy.

Why did Xiao Yue’s handwriting look so nice while hers looked like a dog’s scrawl?

…

Lin Tianhui, with excitement written all over her face, sat next to Su Xiangzhe as he drove; she had finally taken a long leave to go out with her family.

However, the scenes along the road were more desolate than she had imagined, with buildings everywhere destroyed by special abilities, not to mention the bodies and dark bloodstains sprayed all over the road.

In some abandoned, rusting cars, zombies were continuously pounding on the windows.

Bang bang bang!

Several water balls hit the vehicle; they were chased by a Water Element Mutated Zombie, which was followed by a group of ragged zombies that seemed unwilling to give up the pursuit.

They were driving a reinforced minibus; Lu Hao had gone to find Rong Yuan, and used his Metal Element Ability to fortify it again from the outside, so normal special abilities were unlikely to leave marks on it.

“Let’s go down and get some practice, it’s been a few days since I’ve killed zombies.”

Lin Cheng felt itchy; he was about to advance to a Level Five Earth Element, and Huang Yunxiang also expressed a sense of advancement, albeit not as strong as his.

Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo were also on the minibus; they had been to both A City and D City, and they were worried about the current food situation there, hoping it wasn’t too late to offer help.

“You guys go ahead, I’ll stay in the bus to protect my grandparents,”

Lin Xiuyuan said; Su Jin was in the Space, so he naturally took on the role of protecting the elderly. He was now a Level Six Ice Element, and even if he stayed in the vehicle, he could support the family outside at any moment.

But obviously, these few dozen zombies didn’t need his support at all; even Lu Hao didn’t take action, as Lin Cheng and the others wiped them out quickly.

As the bus continued to move forward, the family unexpectedly ran into Xue Wanyi.

It turned out that he had brought the Wind Element training team out for practical combat training that day, and the Heart Talk Team had just left the base, not too far away, so they happened to run into each other.

Lu Hao quickly summoned Su Jin out of the Space, and upon seeing this, Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo also immediately dashed into the Space.

Seeing Su Jin looking healthy, Xue Wanyi stop worrying; it seemed the family had protected her well.

During the exchange of greetings, Lin Xiuyuan also noticed Jiang Yixiao not far away, her pink bag standing out conspicuously, and she was surrounded by a group of trainers, seemingly giving pointers about the zombie bodies lying on the ground.

“Hey, Xiuyuan, that Water Element girl you brought back is amazing, do you know how she kills zombies?”

Xue Wanyi came over to the vehicle and began to share what had just happened with the family.

Theoretically, the Wind Element team shouldn’t be involved in the business of the Water Element training team, but the methods that the new member used to kill zombies were too unprecedented.

“Water Element? How does she kill them?”

Huang Yunxiang became interested, as she was of the Water Element as well.

“The zombies she killed, they all turned into mummified corpses.”

Xue Wanyi answered with a complex expression.

It turned out Jiang Yixiao’s Water Element seemed different from others; while others release Water Element Ability, her Element not only could be released but also could take back moisture. When facing zombies close to her, as soon as a zombie touched her, the water in its body would rapidly disappear, including inside the brain, until it turned into a mummified corpse.
