Chapter 563: Lu Tianyi Wakes Up

Half an hour later, Qiu Lili came downstairs in a clean dress. She seemed to have also taken a shower!

Yuan Tianxing and Wu Chengyue left Kong Qingming’s room after his condition stabilized.

Kong Qingming was injured severely. However, as a possessor of green-power, his self-defense capacity and body condition were both better than that of Lu Tianyi, who had water power.

“What on earth happened?” Wu Chengyue couldn’t help but ask Qiu Lili.

“Oh, when I got there, I saw them being attacked by a level-seven wind-powered man. At that time, the one that Qiaoqiao brought into her space was… um, dying, and the one with a leg broken was still awake. But, he fell unconscious as well on our way back. Also, the one who attacked them seemed not to want to expose himself. He couldn’t win against me, so he ran away,” Qiu Lili stood in the middle of the lobby as he looked at him and answered his question.

“What about Yan Fangyu?” Wu Chengyue frowned slightly. He didn’t make that frown because of Yan Fangyu, but because Qiu Lili said that the attacker was afraid of exposure.

“She had run far away. I think the two injured ones stalled the enemy and bought her time to run,” Qiu Lili fiddled with her own hair and said.

“Are you saying that she’s still alive?” Yuan Tianxing added.

“Em. She didn’t die. She ran pretty quickly,” Qiu Lili nodded.

Wu Chengyue raised a hand from around his chest and rubbed his chin as he said, “In this case, she should be able to return to our base safely.”

“Eh? Aren’t you worried that that person might go back to try and kill her? That was a level-seven man!” Qiu Lili asked curiously as she noticed that Wu Chengyue seemed to not care about Yan Fangyu’s safety at all.

“I don’t think so. He has failed once, and his target has run away. Besides, Yan Fangyu isn’t silly. She was attacked. Doesn’t she know that she should hide after that?” Wu Chengyue looked at Qiu Lili smilingly.

“Ah, I see! I thought that person would go after that woman again!” Qiu Lili responded without fully understanding. “What if he did go after her again?”

“Then just let him kill her. If that woman dies, we can just promote someone else to her position. She’s not doing her job anyway. She’s just hogging that position,” Wu Chengyue laughed.

That woman was pretty close to Zou. For Zou’s sake, Wu Chengyue had been turning a blind eye on her. In fact, he firmly believed that that woman wouldn’t die so easily, as she was really sly. She was a level-six superpowered person after all. With Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming buying her time, she should be able to run.

Hearing his words, the others all turned to look at him. ‘What are you doing here then ?’ some of those people wondered.

“Eh? If you think that way, why did you accept our condition?” Qiu Lili asked.

“Guess…” Wu Chengyue replied with one word.

Qiu Lili paused for a second, then said to him grumpily, “Why would I ask you if I could guess out?”

She, of course, didn’t know that Wu Chengyue was willing to pay the ransom for Yan Fangyu, because he didn’t want the relationship between his base and Lin Qiao’s to turn bad. Moreover, he also did that to create an opportunity to get close to that female zombie!

“You said that the attacker is a superpowered man. Isn’t he a zombie? Where is that level-seven wind-powered man from?” Yuan Tianxing asked some questions as well.

“Yeah, he’s a human being, but his scent was strange to me. I don’t know him,” Qiu Lili nodded.

Yuan Tianxing believed her, but didn’t know if the others believed her as well. When the two injured ones woke up, they would know for sure if the attacker was a human or a zombie.

“I don’t think she can revive the one that she brought into her space. Even if she did save him, he might not be a human being anymore,” Qiu Lili said abruptly. She had sensed Lu Tianyi’s death as well when she handed him to Lin Qiao.

Hearing her words, all the others wore a somber face. If Lu Tianyi couldn’t come out as a human being, he would become a zombie like Shen Yujen.

“Who on earth is that person? Is he from there too? A metal-powered one came here last time, and this time it’s a wind-powered man…” Wu Chengyue erased the smile from his face and murmured expressionlessly.

“Are you saying that he’s from the same place as that robber?” Yuan Tianxing turned to him and asked.

“I think that’s highly possible. Except for Yang Chao who has already died, there’s only one level-seven wind-powered man I know. His name is Lu Zhuofeng. He’s from Hidden Cloud Base in the Southwest. Can it be him?” Wu Chengyue thought for a moment and said.

“Hou Guozhong from Huaxia Base is also a level-seven wind-powered man, but he’s unlikely to come here,” Yuan Tianxing was also thinking about the known level-seven wind-powered people. However, there might be some other powerful people that no one knew about.

Wu Chengyue sent Xiao Licheng to return to the base through the night to inform Xiao Yunlong and Zou Shihui about what happened.

After telling the others what she knew, Qiu Lili also stayed in the lobby and waited. She too wanted to know if the young man that Lin Qiao brought into her space would come out as a human or a zombie.

…

In the space, darkness was rolling in Lu Tianyi’s wide opened eyes. A while later, the darkness faded slowly, turning white again.

Although, his pupils remained black.

He blinked, then his entire body twitched. After that, he found that he was in the water. Before he could react, a hand clasped his shoulder and dragged him upward.

He came back to his senses, then turned to look at the owner of that hand. He saw Lu Tianyu who was wrapped in a layer of a strange thing. That thing was hazy in his eyes.

What he saw was the greenness of the energy in the lake. He couldn’t see it clearly, because he was no longer able to see colors.

Puff! Before long, Lu Tianyi’s head popped out of the water.

“Get up,” Lin Qiao pushed him forward, then swam to the lakeside and went ashore. Lu Tianyi automatically started swimming. His face still wore a confused look.

While swimming, he managed to calm himself down. He organized his thoughts, then suddenly recalled that he was escorting Yan Fangyu back to the base together with Kong Qingming. He was injured, and almost died.

This place was… Lu Tianyu’s space?

Why couldn’t he see any colors? Everything in his eyes was black, or white, or gray.

Why did that happen?

Also, why couldn’t he feel his injuries at all?

By the time he swam to the lakeside, Lin Qiao had gotten out of the lake, wrapped herself up with the dark fire, and walked into the small building. When she came back out, she was fully dressed, holding a sports suit for men.

She raised her head and found Lu Tianyi standing by the lake naked in a daze.

“How long do you plan to stand there? If you like standing there, just put on some clothes first and then continue!” Lin Qiao stood before the building and shouted at him.

Lu Tianyi came back to himself and glanced at her, seeing the clothes in her hands. Then, he lowered his head to look at his own body. In the next second, Lin Qiao watched him squeeze his thighs together and cover his crotch area with his hands, and felt amused.

“You don’t need to cover yourself! I’ve seen it all!”
