Chapter 78 The Missing General Lin

Hua Yang and a few others followed Wang Hong into the building.

The building's air-leaking gaps were blocked with newspapers and rags, and the back door and emergency passage were also sealed, leaving only a front door for entry and exit.

After entering, the dirty and sour smell all over the walls and the floor made Hua Yang's face almost wrinkled.

"I'm sorry, but I had no choice but to bring you to this place."

There are eight dormitories in a row in the barracks. Seven of the eight doors were welded shut, leaving only the middle door.

As soon as the door was opened, the barracks dormitories had been transformed into large bunk beds with walls broken through. Mattresses and quilts were spread on the floor, and there was a fire burning by the window. It was as if the building had been turned into a campsite in the wild.

"This is a place in the base where zombies rioted after the virus broke out. Because it is separated from the outer city by a wall, zombies often come in through the broken outer wall. So no one wants to live here."

"What are these fires?"

"Don't worry, these fires were left by my men during their night patrols. You can rest here, they won't disturb you."

Hua Yang noticed the surroundings of the building before rushing in. There was a wall behind the building, but it had been in disrepair for many years, and there were some cracks at the base of the wall, which were all covered by weeds. If a zombie broke through the crack and hid in the weeds, it would not be easy to be discovered.

Hua Yang nodded at Wang Hong, then sat down on the relatively clean mattress on the floor without any hesitation.

"Brother Wang, what happened to the base? Why are there so many refugees entering the base?"

Wang Hong smiled helplessly and shook his head, looking at the man in his thirties, whose face was somewhat vicissitudes and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

"Xiaoyue, there are no living people in Tianlan City now. There are still many people making trouble outside the base. We are now checking them one by one and then letting them into the base."

After he said this, Hua Yang and the others didn't mind. After all, they had experienced the villagers collectively turning into zombies and besieging them, so they already knew that the world was changing.

"What? There are no survivors in Tianlan City? No, that's unlikely, right? Didn't you go to search and rescue? There must be people hiding somewhere waiting for rescue."

Wang Hong sighed and touched Gu Xiaoyue's head, his eyes full of love like a brother looking at his sister.

"The team that was sent out for search and rescue and for supplies has also gone missing. Even..." When Wang Hong said this, tears welled up in his eyes, but he managed to hold them back.

"Brother Wang, what's going on?"

Seeing Wang Hong’s expression, Gu Xiaoyue began to feel more uneasy.

"General Lin is missing."

At this time, Gu Xiaoyue excitedly grabbed Wang Hong's arm, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could General Lin disappear?" Gu Xiaoyue looked unconvinced and raised her voice a lot. She looked into Wang Hong's eyes, trying to find any hint of joking in his eyes.

"That day, during a meeting in the conference hall, the search and rescue team went missing, and Yao Mingshan and General Lin started arguing. In the end, Yao Mingshan seized power and put the general under guard, but within a day, the general disappeared."

"I don't believe it. Yao Mingshan must have hidden the general in order to seize power! I'm going to find Yao Mingshan and ask him clearly!"

Gu Xiaoyue clenched her fists like crazy and was about to rush out of the house to argue with Yao Mingshan, but was grabbed by Wang Hong.

"Don't go! Yao Mingshan now has many supernatural powers under his command, and you can't see him at all! Moreover, if he finds you, you will be controlled by him. If I hadn't come today, once you were discovered, the consequences would be disastrous!"

Hearing this, Hua Yang had a general understanding of the current situation of the Sky Blue Naval Base. To be honest, she didn't want to get involved in the power struggles in the base. But she needed a ship to go out to sea, so she had to meet with the top leaders of the base.

"Xiaoyue, you can't do anything in your excitement. Calm down first."

Hua Yang's voice was like a light feather soothing the rippling lake surface, and it suddenly reminded Gu Xiaoyue of something.

"Hua Yang, Hua Yang, please help me save General Lin. Don't you want to borrow a boat to go out to sea? As long as you save the general, he will definitely lend you the boat."

"You want to borrow a boat to go out to sea?"

Wang Hong looked at Hua Yang with a little surprise. He did not look down on her because of her appearance and age.

"Well, if General Lin was in power, there would still be some possibility. Now that Yao Mingshan is in power, it is not easy to borrow a boat."

Suddenly, there was an unusual sound of footsteps outside the building. The footsteps extended to the main door, and then the door of the dormitory building was forcibly broken open, with metal pieces and wooden strips shattered all over the ground.

A soldier dressed in a general's uniform, with a strong demeanor and a serious but calculating look on his face appeared in front of everyone.

This man was tall, and his eyes looked like he had been through a thousand battles. When he looked at people, it seemed as if he could see through the negative thoughts behind a person's mouth and reach deep into his heart.

"If you want to borrow a boat, you can talk to me directly. Wang Hong and Gu Xiaoyue violated military orders and privately brought suspicious elements into a military stronghold. Come, take them away."

"Yao Mingshan, I was sent out on a mission by General Lin and I just returned. Why did you arrest me? Wang Hong is a staff officer sent by the higher-ups. His rank is only one level lower than yours. You have no right to deal with him!"

Yao Mingshan narrowed his eyes dangerously, making Gu Xiaoyue and Wang Hong, who were already in the right, still extremely nervous.

The soldiers behind Yao Mingshan would not listen to Gu Xiaoyue. After Yao Mingshan gave the order, they walked behind the two of them and were about to arrest them.

The next second, the green vines entangled the four soldiers who were walking over, trapping them in place and unable to move forward.

"Yao Mingshan, I advise you to hand over General Lin. Otherwise, if you seize power and rebel, I will definitely go to Kyoto and bring you to a military court!" Gu Xiaoyue glared at Yao Mingshan, with undisguised hatred in her eyes.

After hearing this, Yao Mingshan just glanced at Wang Hong who was waiting to be arrested, and curled the corner of his mouth in disdain.

"That requires you to survive and make it to Kyoto." After saying that, a beam of fiery red flame lit up in Yao Mingshan's hand. The fire element exploded and was full, instantly filling the entire building with heat.

"Level 2 fire ability? And it's showing signs of breaking through to level 3."

Hua Yang had a rough estimate of Yao Mingshan's strength.

The flame in Yao Mingshan's hand obediently touched Gu Xiaoyue's vines, releasing the four soldiers.

"take away."

Hua Yang looked at the scene in front of her calmly: The warlord of Yaoming Mountain was tough and powerful. Moreover, three or four people in his team also had supernatural elements around them.

Two fire elements, one earth element, and one wind element.

If she forced herself on, she might have a direct conflict with these people. But no matter what, Gu Xiaoyue would be taken away. Hua Yang could imagine her fate, which would definitely not be good.

"Wait a minute. General Yao Mingshan, right?"

Yao Mingshan didn't expect that under such circumstances, the little girl would actually dare to speak and call him by his name. He raised his eyebrows curiously.

"Oh? What's that?"

"Gu Xiaoyue, you may not be able to take it away."
