At last, people had no other choice but to sign the agreement. After that, Yuan Tianxing stepped backward while Lin Qiao walked up.

“You want to know why I’m the leader, don’t you? Do you think that I’m an outsider, so I shouldn’t be your Chief?” Lin Qiao stood straight on the high stage, feet slightly apart and hands habitually held behind her back.

She was wearing a black army coat that only a Chief could wear. The coat was long and perfectly tailored. She had a badge on her left chest, epaulets on her shoulders, and a belt around her waist. The knee-length coat covered half of her long legs. She wore a pair of high boots and a black army hat. Underneath the hat, her long hair were tucked behind her ears, exposing her cold and serious face.

A strong vibe was radiated from her entire body.

“It’s because I’m stronger than you,” she said, “I saved you from the enemies, and I brought you from thousands of miles away. My people and I built this base. I offered you food, clothes, and a place to live in. I’m the reason why you survived.”

While speaking, she scanned all those people with her cold eyes, making them feel that they had nowhere to hide, as if they were all under her watch.

“I will not indulge you in doing anything harmful for the base or the people in this place!” Lin Qiao’s cold voice echoed in everyone’s heart. Meanwhile, her mighty vibe made them feel hard to breathe.

Suppressing thousands of people with her vibe was an easy thing for Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao’s words thrown everyone on the scene into silence. They could not retort.

In the post-apocalyptic world, people respected the powerful ones. Not all powerful people would protect the weak ones. On the contrary, they had every right to do nothing. The weak people had no other choice but to rely on the powerful people to survive. They had no right to question the powerful ones.

“One-third of the fence wall has been completed. Based on the current working efficiency, I believe we can finish the rest of the wall in not too long. The farmland is going well. So, in this base, you do not need to worry about food and security. But, please follow the rule of this base. We do not count on you to make major contributions for the base, but please do protect it,” Lin Qiao continued with a bland voice.

…

Soon, Mo Yan found that his sneaky moved was solved by the female zombie so easily, and had even helped her to build her prestige in front of her people. That made him so angry.

He was never an ordinary being. As his first plan failed, he came up with another plan.

He assumed that some people from her base would come out to collect supplies. So, he decided to kill those people.

He made the plan and waited for another half month. However, he didn’t see even one person come out of that base! He didn’t understand. Didn’t those people need to come out to collect supplies?

Currently, All Beings Base only had thousands of people. The supplies that those people needed for the winter had been prepared two months ago. It was January; the weather was still cold, and the wind was bone-piercing. Not to mention All Beings Base, even the other bases barely sent people out to collect supplies or hunt for zombies at that time.

Recently, under Lin Qiao’s order, Yuan Tianxing had re-accommodated all the residents in the base. Except for the ones who lived on the fifth floor, all people in the Victoria Hotel had been moved to the dormitory in high school.

While Mo Yan stayed near All Beings Base, waiting for a chance to start trouble, he found a few groups of strangers sneakily approaching the base. Then, he found that those people were clearly here to scout for All Beings Base’s current condition, and that they were all from other bases.

He secretly followed behind those people to see who they were. Soon, he figured out that some of them were from Hidden Cloud City Base and Sky Fire Base, and some were from Huaxia Base. Those people who earlier suffered attacks from Mo Yan and ran away had returned as well.

Green Mountain Base? Mo Yan hadn’t heard about that base.

Mo Yan was at level-eight, and all his subordinates were at level seven and six. As long as they restrained their vibes and kept a safe distance from people, they would not be discovered. However, once those people approached the base, Qiu Lili and the other zombies sensed them.

As Lin Qiao and her zombies found those suspicious people, Mo Yan felt as if his prey was targeted by other people.

So, he got angry.

‘What are you guys looking at! This base is my target now! The people and those zombies in this base are all my targets! Are you guys here to take my targets? Go away! Don’t even think about it!’

As a result, those people were destroyed by some level-six zombies before they could even approach the zombie defense line!

“Eh, those annoying people are still out there!” The scouts from the other bases suffered attacks, and that immediately caught the attention of Qiu Lili and the other All Being Base zombies. They looked carefully and recognized those zombie kings and queens as the ones under Mo Yan’s command.

Lin Qiao shrugged and said, “He’s been out there the whole time.”

The others couldn’t sense Mo Yan, but she could. Besides, even if he was able to hide well, those level six and seven zombies under his command couldn’t possibly hide from her eyes, no matter how they restrained their vibes.

“Eh? Did you know that he’s out there? What does he want? Is he looking for an opportunity to bring us trouble?” Qiu Lili first looked at Lin Qiao with surprise and then pouted angrily. Clearly, she really didn’t like that zombie emperor.

Lin Qiao squatted on the sweet potato field, catching bugs while digging out sweet potatoes.

The weather was cold, and the plants were growing slowly; some plants were even in dormancy. However, Lin Qiao’s plants were different. Being watered by her lake water, they couldn’t be affected by the changes in weather since long ago. Those plants were all thriving. The sweet potatoes from that field were actually large in size!

Lin Qiao and the other zombies didn’t eat sweet potatoes, but the people in the base enjoyed them happily. Under the cold weather, having a soft and sweet roasted sweet potato which smelled wonderful was such a great thing!

The sweet potatoes weren’t richly harvested yet.

“I know. They spread the word in our base and told our people that we’re zombies, didn’t they?” Lin Qiao put a palm-sized potato into the basket by her side and said blandly.

“Ah, it was him! I thought those people found it out by themselves!” Qiu Lili slightly widened her eyes with surprise, then her face was filled with anger.

Mo Yan was so annoying!

“How could those people possibly think of that? They were curious about the fifth floor, but wouldn’t doubt our nature,” Lin Qiao smiled and carried on, “He’s out there right now. I guess he’s waiting for our people to go out so that he can attack them. He’s planning on taking revenge on us in that way.”

“Sneaky!” Qiu Lili snorted.

“You can’t say that. All schemes serve purposes,” Lin Qiao smiled. She would use that kind of schemes too. To Earth Dragon Base or Hidden Cloud City, she might do something much eviler and crueler than what Mo Yan would do.
