After talking about Lin Wenwen, Lin Feng glanced around and said, “The soil in this area seems rich, but are these crops really… edible?”

“Still doubting that?” Lin Qiao glanced at him and said, “Why would I grow them if they were inedible? Don’t worry, I’ve solved the soil problem already. Eating these won’t turn you into a zombie.”

“Em,” Lin Feng nodded and didn’t say anything else.

“Have Yuan Tianxing talked to you about the direction of this trip yet?” Lin Qiao asked.

“I talked to him this morning. Based on your suggestion, we’ll head toward Lower City District first,” Lin Feng answered the question.

“I’ve sent a few zombie leaders to Lower City District to take care of all the high-leveled zombies in that area. You’ll need to deal with those ordinary zombies yourselves,” Lin Qiao reminded him.

This morning, the middle-aged zombie and the zombie old mand had returned. They brought Lin Qiao over ten level four and three zombie nuclei, and two zombie leader nuclei.

With those, Junjun could surely be upgraded.

“I get it,” Lin Feng responded, and then left the sweetcorn field.

Lin Qiao stood up, prepared to move to the next sweetcorn plant. But abruptly, she paused and turned to the base. She sniffed at that direction, then turned to yell at a tree nearby, “Lili, we have a guest from Sea City. You go and guide them in.”

“Alright!” Qiu Lili, who was sitting on the tree, replied as she leaped out.

At that moment, a motorcade was moving toward Upper City Base about two miles away from the zombie wall. In the military off-road vehicle at the front, a pretty lady was sitting in the front seat, looking ahead curiously.

“How far is it?” she asked.

“About one or two miles away,” the driver answered the question.

“Is that real? Can they really turn a zombie crowd into a line of defense? I don’t think human beings can do that!” Yan Fangyu’s face was filled with disbelief.

“Deputy Chief, you’ll see it when we get there. It won’t be long!” The driver smiled at her.

A short while later, Yan Fangyu popped her eyes in shock and stared at the motionless zombie wall in front of her tens of meters away.

Those zombies didn’t surprise her. What surprised her was the fact that they were all standing there so quietly, and didn’t rush eagerly at the motorcade when they saw the people in those vehicles and sensed their scents, like what normal zombies would do.

Yan Fangyu ordered the motorcade to park before the zombie wall, then stuck her head out of the car and observed the zombie crowd while asking, “How are we supposed to get through now?”

“Ah, be patient! Later, someone will show up to make a path for us.” The driver had been here twice already, so he wasn’t nervous at all.

“I see,” Yan Fangyu nodded knowingly, then sat in the car and waited patiently.

However, the workers in a truck behind were not as calm as her. They all gathered around the front windshield to look at the zombie crowd. Their eyes were showing confusion, fear, and all sorts of feelings.

At that moment, the zombie wall suddenly moved.

“Eh? They’re moving!” Yan Fangyu’s eyes glowed.

Next, the people saw those zombies slowly move toward both sides, away from the road in the middle.

The driver immediately drove the car forward, saying, “See, someone is here.”

“Where? Why didn’t I see that person?” Yan Fangyu glanced around. Except for those ordinary zombies who were moving away, she didn’t see anyone.

The driver said, “Look at the roofs of those high buildings. You’ll see someone.”

Yan Fangyu slightly raised her head and saw a white figure flash across the roof of a tall building far away, and then disappear.

“Eh? There really is someone?” She said with surprise.

“There must be. These zombies are controlled by someone from that base,” the driver said.

Then, the group of confused people moved through the path which was created for them by those zombies. After that, they turned back and found that those zombies had mostly moved back to their original spots.

“Are they really controlled by someone?” Yan Fangyu couldn’t believe that some human beings were able to control those zombies. However, she couldn’t come up with another explanation for what she just saw.

The driver smiled and said, “I don’t know how they have been doing it. But, as long as we can get used to it…”

Yan Fangyu turned her head and crossed her arms before her chest. She didn’t say anything else to the driver and just stayed silent. No one knew what she was thinking about.

If some people in Upper City Base really knew how to control zombies, and if she could find out how, then bring the technology back to Sea City Base, it might lead to a great breakthrough of Sea City Base’s development.

She had to find a way to figure it out!

When Yan Fangyu’s motorcade arrived at the hotel, Lu Junjie walked to the conference room and pushed the door open, then walked in and said a few words to Yuan Tianxing, who was looking at the planning drawing. “Deputy Chief, Miss. Yan, the pretty lady from Sea City Base, is here.”

Yuan Tianxing dropped his pen and stood up, “Em, I know.”

While speaking, he rolled up the drawing on the table, then turned and put it in a cabinet which was behind him in a corner. After finishing up with things here, he finally walked out of the conference room.

As he went downstairs to the lobby, he saw Yan Fangyu sitting on a couch, with two of her subordinates standing behind her.

Seeing the slim Yuan Tianxing, Yan Fangyu had her eyes glowed as she greeted him happily, “Ah, Mr. Yuan, long time no see! You seem to have become even more handsome than before! You’re so pretty. I don’t even want to go back to Sea City Base after seeing you. What should I do?”

Even though Yan Fangyu tried to flirt with him once she started the conversation, Yuan Tianxing only walked over with a faint smile and responded, “What a surprise, Deputy Chief Yan is actually paying us a visit!”

Then, he sat in front of her.

“What do you mean by ‘surprise’? I’m just curious about your base, so I decided to come here and take a look around. Am I not welcome?” Yan Fangyu narrowed her pretty eyes as she looked at him and said smilingly.

“How can it be possible? Deputy Chief Yan, you’re a pretty lady. Everybody will have a sunny mood when a pretty lady comes to visit us,” Yuan Tianxing smiled and said to her, then meaningfully glanced at the surrounding guys, who were glancing over stealthily from time to time.

Yan Fangyu glanced around as well, and then turned her eyes back to Yuan Tianxing as she said carelessly, “Alright! I have brought two-hundred people to you this time. How are you gonna thank me for it? But, I heard that you’ve received lots of people from Hades Base. Are my people not needed anymore?”

“That’s not true,” Yuan Tianxing smiled and said, “Even though we’ve taken in those Hades Base people, we’re still very short-handed for the construction of the fence wall. After all, we’re building a ten-miles-long wall. It won’t be as hard as building the Great Wall, but the thousands of people that we have now are still not enough.”

“That’s more like it,” Yan Fangyu laughed, then pretended to sigh with relief.

“Alright, stop pretending! You know it clearly… Do you have to say it out loud?” Yuan Tianxing questioned her.
