Chapter 596: Not Cabbages

At that moment, a whistle was heard suddenly, following which, all the zombie crowds stopped moving. The people from the base kept attacking them, so many of them were soon put down.

“What… what’s going on?” Seeing all the zombies stop moving, Earth Dragon Base people were stunned. They gazed at those zombies which were crazily rushing in and attacking people with claws and teeth just now with confusion.

“I… I don’t know!”

“Don’t just stand there! Now is a great chance! Keep attacking!”

“Yes! Attack! Attack!”

The zombies stopped moving, yet the people from the Earth Dragon Base didn’t. They grasped the opportunity to attack those zombies even harder.

“But, I think I just heard a whistle… What the hell!” Someone noticed that whistle, but soon forgot about it and focused on killing zombies.

At that point, another whistle was heard.

“Eh? Again!”

“No… Look, the zombie crowds are drawing back!”

“I… I think you’re right!”

Following the second whistle, those zombies turned around and moved out of the base entrance.

The Earth Dragon Base people were all dumbfounded. What on earth had happened to those zombies!

They actually retreated! That was unscientific!

“Can it be that whistle? I’ve noticed that those zombies stopped moving after the first whistle, and after the second one, they turned and left! Is it a… smart high-leveled zombie?” Someone said uncertainly. Clearly, someone was controlling those zombies. Only top-leveled zombies could control ordinary zombies.

Top-leveled zombies were not the same as high-leveled zombies.

Usually, people called zombies at level three, four or five high-leveled zombies, and the ones at six or seven top-leveled ones.

“Are you saying that there’s a zombie king or queen out there?” Someone immediately thought of that possibility.

“It’s able to control so many zombies, so it must be at level six or seven. Leve six, or seven… Can a level-six zombie control so many ordinary zombies?”

“There’re so many ordinary zombies… I don’t think it’s possible! Is it a zombie dominator?” Thinking of that possibility, people were first shocked, then started to have a sense of crisis.

It would be terrible if there was really a zombie dominator out there!

“Go! Go and check the other entrances! Then come back quickly to report to me!” Jian Shengtong had thought of that possibility too. Unlike the others, he was more worried about the situation at the four entrances.

He wished that only the zombie crowd before his eyes had retreated. Because if that were the case, it would prove that only the entrance near him had a zombie dominator around. But, if each base entrance was guarded by a zombie dominator, those zombies would clearly not be their greatest threat.

Before long, his subordinates came back to report to him, “Deputy Chief, the zombies near the other entrances retreated a couple of minutes ago as well! They left at the same time as the ones around here!”

Clearly, Jian Shengtong didn’t hear the news that he wished to hear.

“What! This is not good! In this way, we’re about to suffer!” Jian Shengtong panicked a little. He imagined that breaking the gates was only the first step of those zombie dominators’ plan. They might do much worse next.

However, he waited for a couple of hours, but never saw the second batch of zombie crowds breaking into the base. That made him more and more stressed, to the point where any sign could make him explode.

Thankfully, a level-eight powerful being was still in this base, which made Jian Shengtong sigh with relief.

“Don’t be so worried. How can there be so many zombie dominators? They’re not like cabbages that you can find everywhere. Zombie queens and kings are already rare, not to mention zombie dominators. You’ve been overthinking! That might be a special zombie king or queen trying to fool you,” Lu Zhuofeng said carelessly, as he didn’t have the concern that Jian Shengtong had.

Hearing his words, Jian Shengtong woke up.

Lu Zhuofeng was right. Upgrading had always been hard for zombies. Zombie kings and queens were already very rare, let alone zombie dominators! Even though Long Yubai said earlier that there was one zombie dominator in Upper City District in Hangzhou, and possibly one in the old Hades Base, his words hadn’t been confirmed.

People wouldn’t believe what he said unless they saw those zombie dominators with their own eyes.

Therefore, Lu Zhuofeng’s words made Jian Shengtong relax. However, he was still unhappy, because Long Yubai was dead while Lin Ruifeng, Ye Hao and He Mu had gone missing.

His base was going to face a bigger problem, which was how to survive!

By now, the gates had been broken, and zombies could break in at any time. Besides, a lot of high-leveled zombies were still running about in the base. They had already caused quite some damage.

As for those captives, Jian Shengtong decided not to do anything about them. They could run away if they wanted to. Those were all women and weak men anyway.

Even if those people managed to run out of the base, only a small part of them could survive. Therefore, Jian Shengtong didn’t do anything about them. He would like to give them a chance to run.

Right now, he needed to send some people to fix the gates as soon as possible and comfort the residents in the base. Meanwhile, he needed to count the dead and injured, as well as the losses.

Most importantly, the base might fall into internal disorder very soon! The leader of another base was still here. He might even swallow this base!

On the other side, Lin Qiao had left with the zombie crowds. Lu Zhuofeng was right; there weren’t so many zombie dominators.

She was the only zombie dominator around here. She was able to control the zombies within the entire Earth Dragon Base, and her whistles could be heard from miles away.

She didn’t plan to launch the second wave of attack, because she had already achieved her goals.

She killed Long Yubai and He Mu, who were base leaders, and Lin Ruifeng and Ye Hao, who were vice-leaders. She had created enough chaos in the base. Long Yubai would even hurt commoners, but she wasn’t like him.

Only those leaders were her enemies.

Quickly, she moved to ten miles away with her zombie army, then entered her space. Under the curious gazes of Lu Tianyi and that smart level-four zombie, she wrapped herself up with the dark mist and went down into the lake again.

She needed to let Viney absorb the energy.
