Unlike the people in Shen Chengming’s car, the people in the other car were sad. Lv Duyao told the others about what happened, then knitted his brows and showed a grim look.

Zhao Lide was their deputy captain. Their cooperation with Shen Chengming’s team was temporary. Back in the base, they often saw Shen Chengming and his people, but didn’t know them so well.

Their deputy captain died this time, and because of his death, their team was weakened greatly. Due to this reason, their actions out of the base would be limited.

“Who was that? If he’s really so powerful, we should have all heard his name in the base, right?” someone asked.

Lv Duyao shook his head and responded, “A woman, wearing a hat and sunglasses… looked quite strange. I never saw her in the base.”

“A woman! Among all level six and seven superpowered ones in our base, only Deputy Chief Yan is a woman. Is she here?” One of the others asked with surprise.

Lv Duyao shook his head again and said, “It wasn’t Deputy Chief Yan. We all know Deputy Chief Yan. But that woman… I don’t know her.”

The others glanced at each other, wondering who that mysterious woman was.

On the other side, Qiu Lili and Junjun soon arrived at the entrance of the hotel building. The former sniffed at the hotel, then began walking in. After taking two steps, she stopped and turned to look at Junjun, who was standing by the entrance.

“Ah-ya.”

‘Let’s go,’ she said.

Junjun carried Tongtong and glanced at the broken gate of the hotel, then at the boy in her arms. There were human beings in that building. Suddenly, she didn’t want to get close to those human beings. She pictured those people surrounding her and staring at her, and felt uncomfortable.

Only after Qiu Lili called her did she start walking into the building.

They walked into the lobby. Qiu Lili didn’t like walking on the dusty floor, preferring to leap through roofs or treetops. But this time, in order to protect Junjun and Tongtong, she had no choice but to walk on the ground with them.

When walking in, they found that there were no zombies in the building. When they were still hundreds of meters away, Qiu Lili had sensed that some zombies were in this area. But by now, those zombies had all hidden because they felt her vibe.

Lin Hao and the others were all upstairs at the moment, so no one was left in the lobby. Therefore, before Qiu Lili got close, the surviving zombies in this building had again started following the scents of the group of human beings.

However, before they located the group of living human beings, they sensed the incoming Qiu Lili, a zombie queen. After that, those zombies forgot about those human beings and left as quickly as possible.

Some zombies went upstairs in panic and ended up being finished by Lin Feng and his people.

Wei Jingchen, who was guarding before a door, saw a zombie coming upstairs. Once the zombie showed its face from the corner of the stairs, he fired his gun.

As a guard, he was responsible for dealing with all the zombies that showed up on this floor. The others were either in their rooms or searching through the building for useful things.

However, his bullet was caught by a slim hand.

Only after that did Wei Jingchen recognize Qiu Lili, the young female zombie in a clean white dress.

“Ah!” Qiu Lili angrily roared at Wei Jingchen then threw the bullet at him. Anyone could be pissed off by a sudden gunshot.

Wei Jingchen was tall and sturdy, yet he was a simple and honest man. Seeing Qiu Lili, he realized that he had shot the wrong zombie. So, on hearing her angry roar, he hurriedly dropped his gun and rubbed his head while looking at Qiu Lili without knowing what to do.

He surely knew this young female zombie. Earlier on, he and the others witnessed her drive Yang Jianhua away. He wanted to apologize to her, but then he remembered that she was a zombie. He didn’t feel right saying sorry to a zombie.

At that point, Junjun came upstairs with Tongtong in her arms.

Wei Jingchen fixed his eyes on Junjun once she showed up. The little boy was resting his head on her shoulder, so Wei Jingchen couldn’t see his face.

He confusedly looked at Junjun, then turned his eyes to Tongtong. He was sure that Junjun was a zombie, but he had never seen a zombie carrying a child before. He assumed that the boy was a zombie too.

“Ahh!” Seeing him staring at Tongtong, Qiu Lili growled at him again, then turned to the corridor on the other side with Tongtong. They picked a relatively cleaner room and walked in.

At the moment, the door guarded by Wei Jingchen was opened from the inside. Lin Wenwen stuck her head out to look around, then asked him, “I just heard some strange noises. Did zombies come up?”

Wei Jingchen stopped rubbing his head and dropped his hand instantly while responding, “Ah, yeah, some zombies came up. It was the young female zombie who has fought Yang Jianhua, and another female zombie who’s with a child.”

Lin Wenwen’s eyes glowed. “That young female zombie is back? What about that one with sunglasses? Why is there another female zombie?”

Wei Jingchen shook his head and said, “I didn’t see him.”

“Where did the two zombies go?” Lin Wenwen looked around and asked.

“That room,” Wei Jingchen pointed at the door of the room which Qiu Lili and Junjun had just gotten in and replied. Lin Wenwen glanced at that area, then nodded and went back into her room.

Back in the room, the others all looked at her.

“What’s going on?” Asked Mrs. Lin. Lin Wenwen walked toward the couch while saying, “Ah, Jingchen says that he saw the young female zombie who fought Yang Jianhua yesterday. She was with another female zombie.”

“Eh? Another zombie?” Cheng Wangxue asked curiously, “Can she understand our words like the one with sunglasses?”

“I don’t know,” Lin Wenwen shook her head and said, “I didn’t see her. I heard that she’s with a child. I wonder if the child is a zombie as well.”

Neither Lin Wenwen nor Wei Jingchen would think the child in the female zombie’s arms was a human being, because that kind of thing would never happen normally. They believed that the child would have been eaten long ago if he or she were a human being.

They subconsciously chose to think in a normal way. But sometimes, things just wouldn’t happen in normal ways.

Long Qingying was in the room too, but she kept silent. She surely knew that the child was a human being, and that he had been raised up quite well by the few zombies. She was rather curious about how the group of human beings would react when they found out that the child was a living human being.
