Chapter 860: The Hope Of Mankind

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Qiao’s own zombie nature no longer bothered her, but deep down, she preferred to consider herself as a part of the mankind.

The base was soon cleaned thoroughly, and all base members had been re-accommodated. Of course, those works were done by Yuan Tianxing, who was knocked out by Lin Qiao and then stayed unconscious for six hours.

Lin Feng took a blood test, and that mysterious material wasn’t detected from his blood. Unlike him, Chen Yuting got a positive result from the blood test. He lost his mind the next day, but thankfully, people were prepared for that. They soon called Yun Meng and had her knock him out.

Yun Meng and the other zombies had still been wearing masks or sunglasses when they needed to show up in front of the humans. The survivors in the base hadn’t discovered that they were zombies yet. They only knew that those mysterious people with sunglasses were under their Chief’s command, not led by Yuan Tianxing or Lin Feng.

Lin Qiao had put over a hundred level three and four zombies under Liu Jun’s command. To help her manage those zombies, she had also sent Keng-keng, who currently had no work to do, and the cute Fox to the farm.

She herself spent most of her days in the farm as well. She needed to grow food for the people in her base and prepare a sufficient amount of food for the future deals that would be made with the other bases. Therefore, she focused her entire energy on the farm work currently.

According to the news that Xie Dong had brought back, the crops in all the other bases had died. At present, the entire mankind was facing a hopeless future. The soil was dead, so no food could be grown anymore.

Therefore, Lin Qiao believed that her farm would be highly valuable in the next three years at least, as it was able to grow safe food.

Over a hundred zombies worked hard for a week. After that, the farm was again kissed by a tender but thriving greenness. Some sprouts just broke the ground, and some seedlings were transplanted from the nursery.

The farm was still short-handed. The hundred zombies worked every day and night without taking any break, but only managed to farm five acres of the land. On the other side, more zombies had been loosening the soil, developing new fields and putting down more seeds.

Lin Qiao pondered over that situation. She had no better solution but putting all level-two zombies into the farm as well. The brains of those zombies weren’t working so well, but at least they were able to follow simple instructions.

Keng-keng and Fox, who had no specific tasks, became the coaches of those level-two zombies. They taught them how to open up the wasteland, as well as weed and loosen the soil.

Lin Qiao gave them lake water every three days so that they wouldn’t sneakily drink from the pool that she dug for Black earlier. The pool was filled with the water from Lin Qiao’s lake and the nearby river, currently serving as a water source for the farm.

Those level-two zombies were all obedient. They would never be tired, and didn’t dare to disobey Lin Qiao’s orders. They were more efficient than humans many times over. As a result, the farm work had been making great progress. Meanwhile, the research had achieved a new result as well.

Lin Hao and Leng Xuantong had roughly found the source of the mysterious material and analyzed its structure and features. The top priority now was to disable it and prevent it from delivering further effects.

“Look, it’s devoured! It worked!” In the lab, Leng Xuantong bent his upper body, one eye on the microscope. His voice was filled with excitement.

“Really!” Lin Hao had his eyes glowing as he hurriedly moved to the microscope, shoved Leng Xuantong to the side, and looked into the microscope lens himself. Leng Xuantong didn’t mind his movement, but turned to a half-meter-long rat that was locked in a cage in a corner. With excitement, he walked over to the rat.

“Squeak!” the rat had been very noisy. It darted restlessly in the case, which was a meter tall and two meters long. It banged against the cage loudly, leaving quite some wounds on its own body and head.

The rat didn’t seem to care about those wounds. It bared its teeth ferociously, its eyes red and unfocused.

Clearly, that was a maniacal mutated rat.

Leng Xuantong raised both hands, his palms facing the case. A stream of white mist was released from his palms, freezing the cage once it touched it. The white mist flowed into the cage and soon covered the rat.

“Squeak…” The rat was instantly frozen and disabled from moving. A thin layer of ice slowly emerged on its fur. Its head wasn’t frozen, so it was still able to scream shrilly.

As the rat was frozen, Leng Xuantong quickly opened the cage. At that point, the female zombie who was quietly standing by his side handed him a test-tube-full of lake water.

Leng Xuantong took over the test tube and said to her, “Open its mouth. Don’t let it bite anything.”

The female zombie squatted and reached both hands into the cage. She spread her fingers and clasped the rat’s nose with one hand.

“Squeak…” The big rat threw its head from side to side to try to bite her, yet no matter how hard it struggled, it wasn’t able to get rid of the hand on its nose. The female zombie quickly grasped the rat’s jaw with the other hand, then raised the rat’s head and forced its mouth open.

Leng Xuantong poured all the lake water into the rat’s mouth, then told the female zombie to let go of the rat and close the door of the cage. After that, he melted the ice on the rat.

“Squeak…” The unfrozen rat trembled intensely. It struggled to run, but failed. At that point, Lin Hao had come over and fixed his eyes on the rat as well. At the same time, a tiny figure stuck his head out from behind the female zombie’s legs. His black zombie eyes showed a trace of curiosity.

About ten seconds later, the rat suddenly stopped shaking and quietly curled up its body. Its eyes opened wide, still unfocused.

After a longer while, Leng Xuantong and Lin Hao both noticed that the redness in the rat’s eyes had faded. After that, a glow of wit was detected from its eyes. The rat blinked, then looked around, seeming to find himself locked up in a bad place. Before realizing what happened, it noticed the two human beings before the cage.

“Squeak…” Under the strong vibes that belonged to Lin Hao and Leng Xuantong, the rat immediately turned highly vigilant. It shrank to the corner that was the furthest away from the two men while staring at the two.

“It really worked!” Lin Hao nodded, then turned and said to his assistant, “Alright, go and prepare. We need to do the experiment again on a superpowered person to confirm this result.”

“Sure!” His assistants were none other than Bao Xiaoguo and his sister, whom Lin Qiao had brought back from Huaxia Base.

Bao Xiaoying assisted Lin Hao in the lab, while Bao Xiaoguo guarded by the door.
