“That’s not right. Earlier on, I received a message saying that over a thousand of them were heading toward our new base. Are those tens of people scouting? It doesn’t look like that. Did anything happen to those people? Xie Dong, you and your squad go and see what’s going on with them,” Lin Qiao gave Xie Dong an order.
“Yes, ma’am!” Xie Dong nodded, then turned and left with his subordinates who had been released from the space by Lin Qiao.
“What? Is there a problem?” Qiu Lili looked at her and asked, “Those people should have just followed you to the new base in the first place. It has been so long, and they tried to leave now. Why don’t they keep staying there?”
“They don’t have enough food left. I visited the farm in Hades Base that day. It was damaged by ninety-five percent, and the soil was polluted. Only a few of those people had superpowers. Some of them might have obtained superpowers after the base was broken, but it’s still hard for them to save the soil. Besides, the weather is so cold now, and the plants won’t grow. It’s already amazing that they survived until now,” said Lin Qiao.
“Had you guessed that they would eventually come to join us?” Qiu Lili asked Lin Qiao.
“Yeah,” Lin Qiao nodded.
That day, when she saw the situation of Hades Base, she had predicted the future life of the people who decided to stay there. Back then, she had a plan for Earth Dragon Base. As Earth Dragon Base had fallen, a few batches of people might ask to join All Beings Base in the future. Those from Hades Base were only the first batch.
“It’s understandable that they didn’t want to believe us back at that time. After all, both you and I are strange to them. Even though Duan Juan spoke for us, they had no reason to follow us without knowing anything about us,” Lin Qiao said.
Qiu Lili looked at Lin Qiao’s face. She was aware that the latter’s current face was completely strange to those people. Even if she told them that she was Lin Qiao, they might not believe her.
“So….you were giving them the time to find out about our new base, because they’d join us willingly after they learned that our new base truly existed, right?” Qiu Lili figured out Lin Qiao’s plan.
“That’s right! They didn’t want to come with us at first, and we couldn’t make them, could we? So, we might as well let them figure out the truth themselves, then join us willingly,” Lin Qiao nodded and said smilingly.
“Oh, that was your plan all this time, right?” Qiu Lili looked at her knowingly.
“You can say so. As long as they ask to join our base, I won’t shut the door on them. They’re our long time acquaintances after all. In the future, people from other bases will ask to join us. It’s about time for our base to grow,” Lin Qiao said while her eyes glowed brightly.
Earth Dragon Base and Hidden Cloud City Base had both fallen. A lot of survivors from those two bases would certainly try to find a new place to live. Heilong Base and Mongols Base were far away. Huaxia Base and Sea City Base were the nearest two large bases. However, both those two bases required entry fees. Therefore, their only choice would be the new base near Sea City Base.
The new base was built near Sea City Base, meaning that there was a connection between those two bases. That was a positive connection. Otherwise, how could Sea City Base leaders possibly let a new base be founded near their own base?
Without a question, those survivors who had limited belongings and abilities would choose the new base.
“The other bases? Are you talking about the Earth Dragon Base and Hidden Cloud City Base? Are you saying that you’ll accept the people from those bases as well? Aren’t you afraid that they might start a war? They are enemies!” Qiu Lili looked at Lin Qiao and said with confusion.
“They can fight if they want, but they won’t be allowed to do that in my base! I don’t care how they fight outside, but in my new base, they’ll need to follow my rules. Besides, I have already taken the revenge. I guess the hatred in the hearts of Hades Base people has faded to some extent. Now, they have a new life, and a new base to live safely in. They should be able to drop the hatred,” Lin Qiao turned to the base and said blandly.
“Oh…” Qiu Lili nodded without fulling understand Li Qiao’s meaning.
“Alright, they are only the first batch. It’s not yet the time for us to worry about them. I’ll first fix their throats.” While speaking, Lin Qiao glanced at Lu Tianyi and Shen Yujen who were standing by her side.
“Oh! I’ll go and look around for other mutated animals then,” Qiu Lili said and then left quickly.
“You guys wait here. Hide if anyone else came,” Lin Qiao said to Jingyan, Song, and Zhong.
Jingyan and the other zombies who had typical zombie faces immediately flashed into the nearby woods, and then their vibes faded. After that, Lin Qiao summoned Shen Yujen and Lu Tianyi, bringing the two of them into her space.
Once in, Lu Tianyi and Shen Yujen saw a weird scene. Led by the six zombie kings and queens, a group of zombies was gathering by the edge of the woods, looking inside the woods. The two of them didn’t know what those zombies were looking at.
Obviously, Lin Qiao knew what they were watching. Three mutated beasts had been running in the woods. Black and Bowwow were chasing the smart mushroom all over the woods, and those bored zombies came here to watch, even making a bet about who would stop first!
Those zombies had actually learned how to make a bet!
In fact, the six zombie kings and queens were already as smart as healthy human beings. They just didn’t have their memories.
According to Keng-keng, they forgot about their human lives, but often recalled some common senses that they used to have.
“They are betting about which one will stop first. Alright, stop looking at them! Prepare yourself… I’m gonna fix your voices. Lu Tianyi, you’ll be the first. Take off your clothes,” Lin Qiao headed toward the lakeside while speaking. She wrapped herself up with her dark mist, then took off her clothes and put them aside.
Lu Tianyi made eye-contact with Shen Yujen, who turned around knowingly, with her back to the lake.
She watched Lin Qiao step into the water along with the cloud of dark mist. As Lin Qiao dived to the bottom, Lu Tianyi started taking off his clothes. Before he stripped himself, he suddenly felt something and turned to the woods.
Once he looked that way, the group of zombies quickly turned their heads back to show him the back of their heads.
Lu Tianyi, who was wearing briefs, didn’t know what to say. He really wanted to curse at that moment.
Fortunately, he was a man, and he didn’t really care if those zombies saw him nude or not. However, those zombies’ curious eyes somehow turned his scalp numb.
At that time, the pressure from the lake started to weaken. Lu Tianyi turned around and went down into the lake with his briefs on. He decided that he would switch to boxer shorts from now on!
