Du Yuanxing sighed and said, “Why are you so nervous? I don’t think that the zombie has any bad intentions. Otherwise, he wouldn’t treat us so politely. He even gave up a zombie nucleus. He could have used this nucleus to improve his own strength quite largely. Besides, I didn’t tell him where Captain and his families are heading to. Just let him go find out himself.”

“Em,” Long Qingying was still angry at him, so she only responded with a sound.

Du Yuanxing looked at the door and sighed again, “It has only been five years since the apocalypse, but some zombies have already become so smart. Do you think those two zombies can destroy the entire base?”

“If you’re worrying that he might destroy the base, you can go kill him now,” said Long Qingying.

Du Yuanxing shrugged and said, “I’m not strong enough to do that. Besides, why do we have to assume that he’ll destroy human bases? Perhaps, he’ll work with human beings. Just like what we did earlier.”

Long Qingying glanced at him and asked, “Do you think that’s possible?”

Du Yuanxing pondered shortly, then responded, “Why not? Human beings are in lack of supplies, so it would be good if zombies could trade quilts and clothes with us.”

Long Qingying glanced at him again and asked, “Trade for what? Human flesh?”

Du Yuanxing didn’t know how to continue this conversation. It seemed that they really didn’t have much to give the zombies in exchange, except for living human beings.

So, he sighed once again and said, “I wonder how Captain Lin Feng and his people are doing now. Fortunately, Chief had planned ahead and sent Lin Yu and the others to scout Sea City. If Captain and his people manage to escape successfully, they’ll have somewhere to go in Sea City.”

Long Qingying walked to a window and looked outside. She didn’t continue Du Yuanxing’s topic, but said, “We can head back when they’re awake.”

Du Yuanxing glanced at the others who were all still unconscious. Then, he looked at the door which was closed by Lin Qiao, and walked over to lock it.

“Since we’ve got the nucleus, we can head back indeed. We failed to get the nucleus of the wind-powered zombie, but this nucleus of the big-headed zombie is good enough too. Even though it was only a newly upgraded level-four superpowered zombie, it had the rare spirit power. So, its nucleus can also buy a satisfying amount of food.” Du Yuanxing said while looking at the zombie nucleus in his hand.

“Why isn’t the wind-powered zombie that you mentioned before here?” Long Qingying asked.

“I don’t know. This area was the wind-powered zombie’s territory indeed, but this time, we encountered a spirit-powered level-four zombie and two strange ones of unknown levels. I guess that the wind-powered zombie has been killed already,” Du Yuanxing thought for a moment, then replied, with Long Qingying nodding in agreement.

After deciding to head back, the two of them stayed in the room with their teammates.

Soon, Du Yuanxing noticed that the window wasn’t closed, so he immediately walked over to close it, in case some zombies at level two or three sneakily crawled in.

However, neither Du Yuanxing nor Long Qingying knew that earlier on, Lin Qiao had quietly crawled back in through the window right after she left. Of course, she was invisible at the moment.

So, she heard everything that Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying said after she left.

However, even though she had heard everything they said, she didn’t quite understand some of their words. But still, she managed to learn a few things.

She learned that her brother was now heading to Sea City. And, he wasn’t alone, but with his whole family.

It seemed that her brother was being hunted by some people, but she was still unclear about his current situation. Du Yuanxing said that ‘if they managed to escape successfully, they’d have somewhere to go in Sea City’, which meant they hadn’t escaped successfully by now. But, who were hunting her brother?

The last thing she learned was that one of her family members seemed to have become a base leader. Was Du Yuanxing talking about the Hades Base? And, who was that person?

Lin Qiao felt that these few pieces of information were quite important.

If a member of her family had become a base leader, he or she must be especially powerful. After all, no one was able to become a base leader without a strong superpower and physical strength.

But, how could a base leader be murdered? And, was her brother really running toward Sea City with her other family members? Sea City was so far away, and they needed to go through dangerous zombie crowds all the way to get there. So, how powerful were the enemies that not even a base leader was strong enough to defend against them?

And, Lin Qiao hadn’t yet heard anything about the ‘Chief’ from Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying. Who was that person who managed to lead a base?

As the invisible Lin Qiao was thinking about all kinds of questions, Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing had stopped talking. Instead, they were patiently observing their teammates who were still in a coma. Lin Qiao guessed that they would be leaving once their teammates woke up.

She got a little anxious, because she really wanted to know what exactly had happened to her brother, and what situation were her mother, Wenwen, Hao, Lu, and her sister-in-law in. However, Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing had been keeping an extra strong vigilance against her, so she couldn’t show up directly to ask them about what she wanted to know.

And, the strange thing was that she came from Sea City, but didn’t meet Lin Feng and her other family members on her way. Did they miss each other? If so, she now needed to find out which exact way they had been taking. As they were on the run, they would certainly try their best to hide their traces.

While the anxious Lin Qiao was trying to keep patience and Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying were waiting for their teammates to wake up, another motorcade was coming this way.

Those were two heavily armored military vehicles. Each of these two vehicles were strong enough to crush a thousand ordinary zombies.

“Captain, my intel can’t be wrong. Long Qingying came this way with Du Yuanxing and his team. I knew that a level-four wind-powered zombie exists in this area. Du Yuanxing can’t handle it on his own, so he asked Long Qingying for help.”

“My mission is to kill Long Qingying. I don’t care about any level-four wind-powered zombie or Du Yuanxing. Since Long Qingying has helped Lin Wenwen and her families, she’s our enemy. Everyone who disagreed to build the new base and has tried helping Lin Feng and his people is our target. Letting them live will only affect the establishment of the new base in a bad way.”

“Yes, yes, yes… I know, I know. That’s exactly why I told you about Long Qingying’s whereabouts as soon as I could. You see how loyal am I to the new base?”

“That’s good. You’ve shown your loyalty, so the new base won’t mistreat you, and the other survivors who chose to stay.”

“Deputy Chief Yang is going after Lin Feng this time. I wonder if he can successfully kill Lin Feng and the others. Those two women were so proud in the old base, but now, aren’t they both going to fall in Deputy Chief Yang’s hands?”

“What do you mean by Deputy Chief? Eh?”

“Ah-oh, it’s Chief Yang! Chief Yang!”

“You’re smart! He’ll definitely get Lin Feng. And this time, another level-six superpowered one is helping him. I don’t think our new leader will fail to kill Lin Feng and the others.”
