“Oh, there’s one other thing! The name of this base… Do you guys have any suggestions?” Lin Qiao brought up the last subject.

The base’s name could surely not be the same as the name of the place. Therefore, people needed to start thinking about the name of the new base while the fence wall was still in construction. As the wall was built up, the name would become official.

“Name? Right! If we don’t come up with an official name, people are gonna get used to calling us Upper City Base,” Yuan Tianxing paused briefly and then agreed.

“Name… How should we name the base? What should we name the base after?” Yun Meng asked.

“Speaking of base names, most of the bases were named after the places, such as Hidden Cloud City Base, Sea City Base, Heilong Base, and Mongol base. Hidden Cloud City Base was named after an area in Tibet while Sea City Base was named after an area in Shanghai. Heilong Base was the base of the survivors from Heilongjiang and the other two Northest provinces, and Mongol Base was founded by the survivors from Inner Mongolia and Gangu province.

Some bases were named after their leaders, such as Sky Fire Base and Earth Dragon Base. Hades Base was named after people too. Hades didn’t represent Lin Qiao, but how she and her army friends used to call their superiors.

Huaxia was a historical concept representing the Chinese nation and civilization, and Huaxia City was named after that.

“We don’t only have humans in our base, but also zombies. This base will be divided into two equal parts, like two poles, not an inner part and an outer part,” Lin Qiao said, “Maybe we should name the base after these factors.”

“Blackfire? Because you have black fire!” Qiu Lili popped her dark eyes and said to Lin Qiao.

“It’s… a little corny!”

“Haha…” The others laughed.

“It’s not corny!” Qiu Lili yelled out angrily, “What about China! Because we’re all Chinese people! Isn’t that cornier?”

Yun Meng tilted her head and burst out in laughter.

The three men on the other side of the table had their mouth corners twitched slightly as well. Yuan Tianxing was already smiling. After hearing what Qiu Lili said, he upturned his mouth corners further in a bigger smile.

“Since our base will be divided into two closely connected parts, like Yin and Yang, why don’t we call it Yin Yang Base?” Yun Meng turned and said.

“The Poles sounds better. Or… Twin City?” Lin Feng joined the conversation.

“Promised Land? Hades Palace?” Chen Yuting added.

“Why do I feel that you’re thinking about either becoming an immortal or entering the dark world?” Yun Meng looked at Chen Yuting confusedly.

“That’s way too far away from the factors that I mentioned just now,” Lin Qiao said.

“What do you think we should name the base?” Yun Meng asked her.

At that point, Yuan Tianxing said, “I think we can be counted as a rather special base. Our leader isn’t even human!” He glanced at Lin Qiao and then continued, “I think we’ll be the only base like this. Our leader has a space, and a lake which contains the energy that can heal every life. So, why don’t we call the base New Peace? A peaceful place for the new lives.”

Lin Qiao leaned against the table, then pulled one hand out of the trousers pocket to scratch her chin. “In the future, I might put lots of mutated animals and grow many plants in this base… I can also turn the soil into organic soil. Why don’t we call it All Beings Base? In this place, all beings are equal, as long as they follow our rules to live.”

“All Beings Base… All Beings City… Eh? That sounds not bad! And it’s easy to say,” Qiu Lili said.

“I agree,” Yuan Tianxing nodded.

“I’m fine with it. Let’s call the base All Beings then,” Lin Feng nodded.

Based on Lin Qiao’s plan, there were still many developments about the base to do in the future. As the three of them all agreed with that new name, the other two surely made no objection.

So, the name of the base was settled, and would be announced publicly tomorrow.

After the meeting was over, Chen Yuting and Yun Meng left the base separately to search for construction materials. In fact, they were mostly looking for cement.

Lin Qiao left as well. But of course, no one knew about that.

She turned herself invisible and walked out of the new base, then drove toward Sea City Base through an alley. She was very careful and cautious. Every time she sensed any scent of humans from a long distance away, she put the car back into her space and then hid.

When those people left, she took the car back out and started driving again. Thankfully, the weather was cold, and the number of the zombie-hunting squads out here had decreased obviously.

It only took her two hours to drive to Sea City. On her way, she only met one zombie-hunting squad.

She sneaked into Sea City Base without leaving a trace. Not even Wu Chengyue could possibly spot her. Inside, Lin Qiao sensed Wu Chengyue’s strong vibe. As she thought, he had sneakily broken into level-eight. Back in her base, he tried pretty hard to restrain his vibe. But in his own base, his vibe was fully released. Lin Qiao had no idea why he hid his power in front of her.

Some of those scouts from the other bases might have found out about that already, but some might still not know. To sense the rise of Wu Chengyue’s power level, one needed to be at level-six at least. Lower-leveled people couldn’t sense it.

The scouts from the other bases weren’t likely to be above level-six. Some of them might be at relatively higher levels, such as the two weird men from Green Mountain Base.

Lin Qiao ignored Wu Chengyue’s vibe. He was at the verge of the breakthrough anyway, so it wasn’t an unexpected thing that he made the upgrade.

She turned herself invisible and followed Yan Fangyu’s scent.

“What do you mean? I am a deputy Chief. I was ambushed on my way back from that half-wasted base. Should I just forget about it?” At that time, Yan Fangyu was shouting in Zou Shihui’s office.

A part of her face and her forehead were covered in bandage. Only half of her face and an eye of hers were seen.

That half face now wore a twisted, wrathful look.

“We can’t prove that it was them who attacked you. You didn’t even see the attacker. How can you be so sure that it was them? Besides, He and Xiao Yunlong have brought back the news. They said that the attacker isn’t one of those Hades Base people who’re now living in Upper City Base. It’s someone else,” Zou Shihui sat in his office and responded while signing his name on some files. He didn’t even give Yan Fangyu a glance.

Thud! Yan Fangyu rushed up to his desk and slapped both hands on it as she said, “Of course, they won’t admit it! How can you guys believe them! Why don’t you believe me?”

Finally, Zou Shihui raised his head, then glanced at her and said, “Stop this! There’re wounds on your face. You need to rest.”

Hearing that, Yan Fangyu immediately exploded.

However, she didn’t burst in yells and shouts again. She took a deep breath, then took another deep breath. After that, she suddenly turned and left, slamming the door loudly.

Zou Shihui watched her leave, then sighed and shook his head as he continued working. He was really busy. There were endless files for him to read and sign, and all sorts of meetings for him to attend during the day. Before bed, he also needed to prepare for tomorrow’s work.

He had no mood to deal with that woman.
