The next day, Lin Qiao told Junjun and Qiu Lili to stay in the room and then went to Yuan Tianxing’s room with Xie Dong.

The door was opened, and Wei Jingchen let them in. Except for the few soldiers, the whole group of people was in the room, including the Lin Family, Long Qingying, Du Yuanxing, and Yuan Tianxing. It seemed that they were expecting Lin Qiao.

Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing were sitting on the couch, while Mr. Lin and Cheng Wangxue were sitting on the chairs by the window.

Lin Qiao walked in and smilingly nodded to everyone, then walked to the empty couch and sat down. Like what Junjun did the last time, Xie Dong stood behind her.

Without a doubt, he attracted the roomful of people’s eyes. Yesterday, only Long Qingying and Lin Wenwen saw him closely, and the others only looked at him through the windows from a long distance away.

Xie Dong’s sudden appearance didn’t surprise Lin Feng and the others. At first, Lin Qiao was with the red-eyed female zombie, and yesterday, another female zombie showed up, carrying a child. Now, she was with this man whose body was straightened, head raised, and chest puffed. Without question, this man used to be a soldier. His military presence was even stronger than that of Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing, who were both experienced soldiers.

However, Xie Dong’s military presence didn’t attract the attention of Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing. Most human beings outside the bases were either superpowered ones or former soldiers. The superpowered ones had competitive individual combat capacity while soldiers had good mental quality and strain capacity. Apart from them, some other people also developed great abilities. Outside the bases, these kinds of people weren’t rare.

Therefore, Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng didn’t pay too much attention to Xie Dong, waiting until Lin Qiao sat down and then started talking.

“Yesterday, you said that we should find another place to build the new base, and that we better find a zombie city. We’ve discussed about that, and decided to go to the center of Hangzhou City. That place is definitely filled with zombies.” Yuan Tianxing took out a map of China and spread it on the table, pointing at Hangzhou on the map as he spoke.

Lin Qiao nodded, then took out the clipboard and pen to write, ‘Maybe we should first figure out the condition of the forbidden area in that city, then make the decisions.’

Yuan Tianxing glanced at her and asked, “Are you saying that we should first locate the forbidden area in the city center, then head straight to it?”

Lin Qiao nodded and continued writing, ‘Aren’t you going to the Sea City Base to find people? We can explore the city after that, or we can split up.”

Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng glanced at each other. “Are you trying to say that you can go and scout the city first? Do you want us to go find our people first, then wait for your message before making future plans?” Lin Feng said with surprise.

Lin Qiao nodded in response. Yuan Tianxing pondered for a short while, then said, “That can work. We aren’t sure if we can find Li Zheng and his people or not. If they’re in the Sea City Base, we should be able to find them quickly. But, if they’re out here, we might need to spend more time to look for them. In that case, you should use that time to check out the city center.”

Having finished talking, he looked at Lin Feng to seek his opinion. The latter nodded in agreement and said, “You’re zombies, so you can’t follow us into the base. Exploring a zombie city should be the right job for you. But, we need someone to stay and guard this place. I’ll stay.”

Lin Wenwen had already put all the food they found in this place into her space. But before leaving, they still needed to disassemble the solar power equipment and bring that with them.

In case some other people might come here for the solar power equipment, a powerful one needed to stay here, and Lin Feng felt that he should be the one to do that.

Yuan Tianxing was capable of taking a squad to the Sea City Base, and Lu Tianyu the zombie and her friends were well placed to explore the zombie city.

Both Yuan Tianxing and Lin Qiao were thinking about the same thing as he did.

‘I agree,’ Lin Qiao wrote while Yuan Tianxing nodded and said, “Good! I’ll leave for the Sea City Base with Du Yuanxing and the other three. Lin Feng, you and Qingying stay here to protect Mrs. Lin and the others.”

Lin Qiao and Lin Feng both nodded while the former wrote on the clipboard, ‘I’ll leave tomorrow.’

As an agreement was reached, Lin Qiao left Yuan Tianxing’s room. She didn’t mind the others’ intentional or unintentional glances at her bald head, but felt that her head was a little cold.

Back in the zombies’ room, Lin Qiao filled the tub with the lake water from her space for Junjun to bathe in it.

Junjun put Tongtong on the bed, then went into the bathroom. However, once she walked away, the boy burst into tears. He wouldn’t let the others hold him, only wanting his mother.

Lin Qiao tried for a while but failed, then she put Tongtong in Junjun’s arms and pushed both of them into the bathroom together.

“Go…bathe…together…”

After solved the problem, Lin Qiao went into Xie Dong’s room that was next door and filled him a tubful of water as well, telling him to bathe in it.

After her space was upgraded, the energy in the lake water had grown much stronger than before. So, when Lin Qiao closed her eyes, she could see a tubful of green water. It was vivid green, not dark-green like the water in the lake.

She opened her eyes, and the water in her physical eyes was still transparent.

In the afternoon, Lin Qiao stood behind the window and saw Yuan Tianxing, Du Yuanxing, Xing Le, and Su Liang leave the hotel building. When walking past the huge metal cage, the four men spent a short while looking at those turtles.

At night, Lin Qiao sent Junjun, Tongtong, and Qiu Lili into her space, letting them rest there while she herself stayed outside in the room. Then, she turned off the light and lied on the bed, looking at the ceiling with her dark eyes, which sparkled dimly in the darkness.

As a zombie, she didn’t need to sleep. However, she had nothing else to do at night except lying on the bed and thinking.

A while later, she suddenly turned her face to look outside the window. She heard no sound from the outside, but smelled some scents of human beings. Those scents didn’t belong to the ones in this building, but to some other people.

She immediately sat up and got off the bed to walk to the window, looking at the black and white world. She could see colors during the daytime, but at night, she could only see black and white like before.

She crossed her arms before her chest and quietly leaned against the window frame, her black eyes looking straight ahead.

‘I had killed one of them yesterday, so how are they bringing themselves to me?’

That was right, the human scents she sensed belonged to the ones who were chasing Xie Dong yesterday.
