Chapter 602: Dismiss When You Finish The Water

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Qiao stood aside, watching those zombies fetch water batch by batch, then return to their own spots and finish the water.

There were only about twenty level-four zombies, and it wasn’t the first time they came near the building to fetch water. Soon, Lu Tianyi gave each of them a cup of water and then started to give the water to level-three zombies.

After lending their cups to level-three zombies, those level-four zombies didn’t go back to their own spots, but stayed near those level-three zombies and stared at them fiercely.

“Oi, you guys, go back and line up. You can come back later to get your cups!” Lin Qiao looked at them, said helplessly.

“Roar…”

“Roar…” Those level-four zombies reluctantly went back to their spots. Their cups meant a lot to them, as if they wouldn’t be able to drink the lake water again without those cups.

Before long, every zombie got a cup of water. Level-four zombies were able to absorb some power from the water, yet the water wasn’t very effective to them. Unlike them, those level-three zombies started shambling. They couldn’t even stand stably, as if they had just had some super nutritious medicine.

Lu Tianyi looked over and found them staggering like drunk people!

“Alright, off you go! Go!” Seeing that, Lin Qiao immediately waved a hand and told them to go away.

Those level-four zombies found their cups back. But after that, they all stared at their cups with disgust on their faces.

As Lin Qiao told them to go, those zombies relaxed and divided into two groups. In the first group were those level-four zombies who were staring at their cups unhappily. The smarter ones even wiped their cups with their clothes.

Before, only their own scents could be detected from their cups. But, after those level-three zombies used their cups, their scents were left on those cups as well. That made those level-four zombies very unhappy. However, as Lin Qiao was there, they didn’t dare to give vent to their anger.

Those drunken level-three zombies formed the second group. Together, they shambled behind the small building.

The energy contained in the lake water was now very dense. As Lin Qiao thought, the water delivered a pretty strong effect on those level-three zombies who hadn’t triggered their superpowers yet.

For that reason, Lin Qiao had been giving Lu Tianyi the diluted lake water. She was worried that some bad things might happen if she let him drink the lake water by itself.

At that moment, the young male zombie was gulping a ladle of water.

“Alright. When you have finished, put these buckets back to where they belong.” Lin Qiao walked over and gave that young male zombie a kick, then headed toward the small building.

At that point, a series of noises were heard from the woods. “Owooooo!”

Following the noise, the furless dog rushed out, darting over to Lin Qiao. Following behind the dog was a wriggling giant snake.

“Owooo! Owoo!” The zombie dog was actually holding a large iron bowl in its mouth. It darted up to Lin Qiao and looked at the two buckets with glowing eyes, then at the lake surface. After that, it turned back to Lin Qiao, its tail wagging crazily.

Looking at the dog, Lin Qiao exclaimed, “Ah… I almost forgot about you two! Wait a minute!” While speaking, she turned and shouted at Lu Tianyi, who was going to drag the two buckets away, “Wait, give me that bucket.”

She took the bucket from Lu Tianyi, then walked to the lake and fetched a bucketful of water. Then, she dragged the bucket of water back to the two animals. Under the confused Lu Tianyi’s gaze, she filled the dog’s bowl with the water by using a ladle.

Then, she pointed at the rest of the water and said to the snake, “Come on, Black, this is for you.”

Black reared up its upper body and leaned its head forward to take a glance at the water. After that, it quickly sunk its head into the water.

At that moment, the zombie dog had lowered its head and started drinking as well.

Lin Qiao glanced at the two animals which were drinking the water happily, then turned and said to Lu Tianyi, “Alright, we’re heading to our next destination now.”

Lu Tianyi paused briefly, looking at her with confusion.

‘Next destination? Eh? Aren’t we going back to All Beings Base?’

Lin Qiao gave him a glance, then said, “How can we go back so soon? What we’ve done was only the first thing we needed to do. Next, we’re going to Huaxia Base, to learn about the antidote, so that we can prepare ourselves for what might happen in the future. Otherwise, if our enemies use that on us during a war, things will become troublesome.”

Lu Tianyi understood and agreed. She was right. For zombies, that antidote was indeed a big problem.

‘But, why are we going alone? The other bases will certainly send out a large group of people each.’

“We’re only there to seek information, not to make deals. It’s unnecessary for us to bring more people,” Lin Qiao said to him and then disappeared.

She left her space with the car, and then sat in the driver’s seat. The car was driven toward North China, leaving the chaotic Earth Dragon Base behind.

Before long, all the other bases received the news that the leader of Earth Dragon Base had been murdered while two vice-leaders had gone missing. After that news, they heard that zombies had occupied that base, and a level-eight powerful man from Hidden Cloud City Base had defeated the remaining army force in the base.

Wu Chengyue sighed helplessly and said, “Wherever she goes, she creates a great deal of trouble.”

Xiao Licheng, who was standing before his table, knew whom he was talking about. So, he asked with curiosity, “Did Miss Lu take revenge for Hades Base people? She actually did that by herself, but left all the Hades Base people in the new base in Upper City district. Why didn’t she take them with her?”

Wu Chengyue glanced at him with a faint smile and said, “Does she even need to do that? I guess even all the human armies in the world combined aren’t as strong as her army now.”

“Eh… You’re right though!” Xiao Licheng immediately understood his meaning. She was a zombie leader. Once she left the base, she would be able to summon a huge group of zombies anywhere she went.

“She has put Earth Dragon Base in trouble, so is she coming back soon?” Xiao Licheng thought for a moment and then asked.

“Come back?” Wu Chengyue glanced at them again, then shook his head and responded, “Why would she come back? There’s only a short way to go between Earth Dragon Base and Huaxia Base. Why would she come all the way back and then not travel to Huaxia Base?”

Hearing his words, Xiao Licheng paused briefly, then said with surprise, “Eh? Is she going to Huaxia Base too? Does her base… need that antidote? I don’t think so!”

He knew that half of that base would become a home of special zombies, so he figured that they wouldn’t be needing that antidote for the zombie virus.

“Why not? Even if they don’t need to use it, they still need to figure out how to keep themselves from being affected by it. So, I think she’ll definitely try to figure out all the details about the antidote.” Wu Chengyue’s smiling eyes glowed with a dim light.
