Bowwow didn’t leave with Lin Qiao, but stayed in the woods with his friend.

Lin Qiao came out of the woods and said to Lin Yu and the others, “Alright, just do what you need to do.”

She meant that they could leave.

The squad scattered immediately. However, they could only stay inside the area before the house, between the lake and the woods. The area behind the house belonged to the other zombies.

Lin Qiao exited her space and returned by the way she came. This time, she wasn’t on foot, but was driving on the highway. At noontime, she reunited with Lin Kui, Xie Dong, and the others.

Lin Kui gave Lin Qiao Zhou Chenghao’s energy nucleus while Xie Dong gave her the nuclei of all those superpowered people from Hidden Cloud City, including Lan Qijie’s.

They were driving three cars that Lu Zhuofeng left behind, including one combat car and two trucks. On the vehicles was the ammunition which belonged to Hidden Cloud City people. Tens of zombies at level three or four were quietly squatting in the cars as well.

Lin Qiao send those zombies into her space, then let out Li Zheng and Lu Tianyi. Added with Xie Dong and herself, the four of them each drove a car back toward All Beings Base.

…

The level-four zombie which sneaked out from All Beings Base to deliver the message was left around Huaxia Base. The poor zombie was still waiting for Lin Qiao to come out of the base.

In All Beings Base, Yuan Tianxing and the others were much relaxed than before, as Wu Chengyue was there, and Xiao Yunlong had arrived with a strong force and weapons. While waiting for Lin Qiao, they were also keeping an eye on the zombie emperor.

They heard from Wu Chengyue that Lin Qiao was going after Lu Zhuofeng. No one could tell for sure when she would be back. Lu Zhuofeng was a level-eight superpowered man. Lin Qiao could be counted as a strong one among all zombie dominators, and was very close to level-eight superpowered humans. However, she was still not at that level yet.

They did feel that Lin Qiao was very powerful now, but still, they didn’t think that she was strong enough to kill Lu Zhuofeng. The estimated that she would be able to win a face-to-face battle against him. However, he had wind power and could easily run away. It would be hard for her to hold him in play.

He was not silly, and wouldn’t possibly risk his life to fight her. If he couldn’t win, he would run.

All Being people believed that Lin Qiao would need to spend some solid efforts to get the drug from him.

Among Wu Chengyue, Yuan Tianxing, Lin Feng, Qiu Lili, and the others, none could think that Lu Zhuofeng was easily killed after he was thrown into Lin Qiao’s space. For the exact same reason, Li Zheng and the others felt that Lu Zhuofeng was strangely weak in Lin Qiao’s space.

The people in All Beings Base prepared to try and survive for half a month without Lin Qiao. At first, they needed to be ready for the time limit that the zombie emperor gave.

On the third morning, All Beings Base people heard a series of zombie roars coming from a long distance away.

This gave the people a bad feeling.

Soon, Yuan Tianxing and the others received the news, saying that the zombie circle around the base had started shrinking, and was now gathering toward the base.

“They have received the order from the zombie emperor. We can’t control them now,” Qiu Lili looked outside the window with a serious face while talking. Those zombies only followed the orders of the highest-leveled zombie.

A zombie emperor was able to control the zombies at or under level-five directly. All zombies at or under level-five would follow its order unconditionally.

Therefore, the order that Lin Qiao left was erased. Currently, those zombies only listened to the zombie emperor.

“Be ready to fight!” Yuan Tianxing immediately stood up and gave an order.

Du Yuanxing, Lin Hao, Du Yuanxing, and the others instantly turned and left to complete preparations with their people. Meanwhile, Yuan Tianxing and the others went up to the roof to observe the enemies from the high spot.

Hearing that zombies were going to attack the base, the survivors in the base all became nervous. Duan Juan and her people guided them to the underground storage and told them to hide there.

Before long, quick footsteps sounds and waves of zombie roars could be heard.

“Roar!”

“Roar!”

On the roof, the people saw a great group of zombies running at the hotel while baring their teeth and brandishing their claws.

All Beings Base had three lines of defense—the first defense line was a hundred meters away from the base, formed by a large group of superpowered people. If they couldn’t stop the enemies, they would move back for fifty meters to the armed soldiers. The last line of defense were those untrained commoners.

About a hundred meters before the first line of defense was where the long-range weapons were located. That meant that once those zombies entered that area, All Beings Base would fire their weapons.

While Yuan Tianxing, Qiu Lili, and the others were gazing at the zombie crowd seriously, those zombies stopped before those long-range weapons. The zombie circle had shrunk to a much smaller size, meaning that the zombie crowd had grown thicker.

Those zombies surrounded the hotel two-hundred meters away.

Seeing those zombies stop, Yuan Tianxing and the others were surprised.

They were surprised that the zombie emperor really kept his word. He said three days, and he had really given them three days.

Soon, they saw a few figures flash out of the crowd, leap across the second line of defense, and land on a roof near the hotel.

After them, about ten figures darted out; each taking a spot around the hotel.

“Thirteen level-six zombies, five level-seven, and the zombie emperor… If they all charge at us, we’d fall into a difficult situation,” Yuan Tianxing said with a frown.

Those were all the powerful ones among zombies. They couldn’t possibly let those people downstairs face them. Fortunately, Xiao Yunlong had brought a large troop and quite some weapons, so that could deal with the zombie crowd.

However, facing those high-leveled zombies, the All Beings Base was clearly outnumbered.

Among them, only Yuan Tianxing, Lin Feng, and Xiao Yunlong were at level-seven. They would be able to fight one zombie dominator each, that too with difficulty. However, if they were all defending against zombie dominators, no one would be left to deal with those zombie kings and queens. Thankfully, Wu Chengyue would be able to fight the zombie emperor.

“Roar!”

The zombie emperor stood on top of the building which was in front of the hotel. That building was taller than the hotel by a few floors. He looked down at Qiu Lili and the others and uttered a roar.

Qiu Lili didn’t like the zombie emperor. She snorted and turned her face away, refusing to respond to him.

Beside her, Yun Meng raised her voice coldly and loudly, “We refuse! We are happy here. We have no reason to follow you.”

“Roar!”

Mo Yan the zombie emperor frowned. His dark eyes, which were shining with a purple light, showed a trace of impatience. Meanwhile, he responded coldly with a roar.

In broad daylight, the veins on his face looked even more obvious and scary.
