“Alright, leave them alone. Take off your clothes and get down into the water,” Lin Qiao turned and said to Lin Feng.
“All my clothes?” Lin Feng hesitated shortly, then asked with an embarrassed expression.
“Take off all your clothes, or they’ll be scattered by the water,” Lin Qiao smilingly glanced at him and replied. After that, she released a stream of dark mist and had herself wrapped in it. When she started moving toward the water, Lin Feng saw a pile of clothes left on the ground.
“I’m going down now. You need to come down as soon as you can. Don’t worry, I won’t be able to see your body in the water,” Lin Qiao walked into the lake while speaking.
As Lin Qiao stepped into the water, Lin Feng sighed with relief, then took off his clothes and went down.
At that moment, the zombie dog and the king cobra which had been darting around in the grassland paused simultaneously. They both reared up their heads to glance at the water before continuing their game.
On the balcony on the second floor of the small building in Lin Qiao’s base, Lu Tianyi watched Lin Qiao get down into the lake with Yuan Tianxing, then do the same thing with Lin Feng. He felt that she had a strange vibe around her today, as if she was preparing for something.
The more time he spent with the current Lu Tianyu, the more strongly he felt that she was different from before. Before, he always paid attention to her secretly, so now, he couldn’t help but do the same.
But now, he felt totally different from before. Before, he always kept an eye on her because he was worried that she might do something bad. He also cleaned up all the mess that she left. But now, he realized that what Lu Tianyu had been doing was too huge, and that he had no power to clean up the mess that she might create now.
But thankfully, she wasn’t doing anything bad!
When Lu Tianyi was standing on the balcony and watching Lin Feng disappear into the lake, a little stone flew over.
Thud! The stone landed on Lu Tianyi’s head.
Looking at the level-four zombie which was hiding in a corner downstairs, the angry Lu Tianyi had veins standing up on his forehead.
‘Damn you! I will torture you to death when my level comes up!’
He glared at that zombie who only dared to sneakily threw stones at him.
“Roar!” The young male zombie showed no sign of weakness, but stuck his head out and roared at Lu Tianyi.
That had happened more than once. Ever since Lu Tianyi came into the space and moved into that small building, the level-four zombie often threw stones at him. When the zombie did that the first time, Lu Tianyi rushed out and picked up a fight against him. As a result, he found that he was pathetically weak after turning into a zombie! He couldn’t even defeat a level-four zombie!
At last, he had no choice but to run back into the building. Then, he found that none of the other zombies in the space dared to enter the building. Those zombies seemed to be very unhappy about the fact that Lu Tianyi was able to come in and out of that building freely.
Lu Tianyi soon realized that fact. So, when he was bored, what he liked to do the most these days was stand on the balcony and look at that high-school-boy-like young male zombie provokingly.
The young male zombie, of course, didn’t dare to launch any lethal attack when fighting Lu Tianyi, because fighting wasn’t allowed in this place. Lu Tianyi rushed at him and started the fight, so he only put up some defense. That was just defense!
Lu Tianyi, who had newly turned into a zombie and lost most of his power, was beaten nonetheless.
Lin Qiao surely knew that they had a fight. She didn’t say anything about it because she detected no murderous intention. So, she simply decided to let them play in her space.
After the first battle, Lu Tianyi had been on alert. Normally, he wouldn’t let that zombie hit his head. But this time, he was a little distracted by Lin Qiao, and the young male zombie grasped the opportunity.
Looking at the young male zombie who was perkily baring his teeth downstairs, Lu Tianyi tried very hard to calm himself down.
He understood that those zombies were like children. Intelligent zombies were smarter than the other zombies. The young male zombie was only at level-four currently, but he was almost as smart as a zombie leader, meaning that he was as smart as a seven or eight years old child.
So, he was just like a naughty kid!
‘Easy! Easy !’ Lu Tianyi told himself that.
After getting into the water, Lin Feng was a little confused, and didn’t know what to do. He thought that he wouldn’t be able to breathe when he got into the water, but things weren’t exactly like he expected.
He wasn’t disabled from breathing. Instead, he didn’t need to breathe anymore! He felt as if his mind had left his body!
At that point, someone grasped his arm from behind and dragged him downward. He gave a start, as he wasn’t prepared for that.
He turned back, but saw nothing behind him. When he went down to the lake bottom, a fire zombie nucleus was put into his hands.
Then, he felt the hand on his arm move to the middle of his back.
‘You can start to absorb the energy. I’ll be helping you.’ Lin Qiao’s voice was heard in his mind.
Lin Feng immediately focused his mind and started absorbing the energy.
In the small building, Lu Tianyi held the tiger which was struggling with all its effort, then sat on the balcony, looking at the surface of the lake. On the grassland, the zombie dog and the king cobra stopped playing, then raised their heads to look at the lake as well.
Lin Qiao might not know that each time she went down into the lake to help somebody with the upgrade, a swirl would show up on the surface of the lake, and the pressure from the lake would reduce largely.
Every time that happened, the zombies and other creatures in the space would fix their eyes on the lake. On the other side of the lake, the group of level-three zombies had also been gazing at the lake. But still, they didn’t dare to come close.
…
On the outside, Wu Chengyue returned to his room, then sent out one of his people to invite Xiao Yunlong over.
“How much antidote have they produced so far? Have they sold it to any other bases yet? Haven’t we learned anything about that yet?” Wu Chengyue asked with a frown.
“Not yet. About the amount of the existing antidote, we’re still trying to find out. As for if any other bases have attained it and how much they have gotten, we really do not know,” Xiao Yunlong shook his head and said.
“Keep an eye on the other large bases. If there’s any news, deliver the information back ASAP,” said Wu Chengyue with a calm look.
“We have had them under watch the whole time,” Xiao Yunlong looked at him confusedly.
Wu Chengyue glanced at him and said, “I mean, deliver the message back here!”
“Eh…” Xiao Yunlong paused briefly, then suddenly wore a weird expression, “I mean… why do I feel that you’re trying to protect some outsiders?”
Wu Chengyue narrowed his eyes in a big smile as he said to Xiao Yunlong, “I feel that you and Meng Yue are getting too close lately. Do you want me to ask her to come back to work for me?”
“Oi, oi, oi, wait, wait! How can you… How can you… Alright, I won’t mention it, okay? Damn!” Xiao Yunlong had his expression changed suddenly, and then he pulled a long face.
“Also, how’s the construction work of her fence wall going? With the hundreds of workers she has, when can it be finished?”
“It’s going pretty well, but they’re still shorthanded. Those workers need to take down other buildings to collect materials while building the wall. By now, the finished part is about thirty meters long,” said Xiao Yunlong.
