Lin Jing glared at that woman angrily, but didn’t say anything.

“Why are you staring at me? Are you aware that you look even uglier than a ghost when you stare at me?” That woman was about twenty-seven, not pretty, but not ugly either. She looked slightly better than average, and was young.

She wasn’t prettier than Lin Jing though. If Lin Jing wasn’t so sallow, she would look much better than that woman.

Two men were standing beside that woman, staring at Lin Jing in an evil and greedy way.

The look in their eyes made Lin Jing utterly uncomfortable, so she frowned slightly.

“How can you say that? You’re jealous, aren’t you? She’s prettier than you, hehe!” One of the two men abruptly raised a hand and shoved the woman to the side, then looked at Lin Jing from head to toe while speaking with a grin.

That woman’s face twisted a little, then she laughed sourly, “I am not as pretty as she is, but I’m young. Look at her. A gust of wind can even bring her to the ground. I wonder if she can survive until tomorrow.”

“A sick pretty woman is still a pretty woman… A woman like her can arouse our protectiveness, right?” The other man laughed as well. Speaking the word ‘protectiveness’, he cast his greedy eyes on Lin Jing’s chest, even licking his own lips.

That movement of his made Lin Jing freeze slightly, and her gooseflesh stood up. She quickly took a few steps backward, trying to move away from those people.

“Oi, where are you going? Sick pretty lady?” The two men quickly stepped to her sides and blocked her way.

“Yeah, it’s too dangerous outside. You shouldn’t go out…” said another man smilingly.

Those two were commoners, but were tall and strong, looking boorish. They hadn’t showered in many days, so both of them gave out a strong smell.

“What do you want!” Lin Jing covered her nose. As the two men blocked her way, she glared at them with vigilance.

That woman seemed to guess out what those men wanted. She blinked, then had her eyes glowing. She looked around, then whispered a few words to those two men.

“Take her away. Those people aren’t here.” She was talking about the soldiers and guards in the base.

On hearing that, the two men immediately made a move. One of them covered Lin Jing’s mouth before she could react while the other grasped her arms. Then, they dragged Lin Jing toward a corner in an alley nearby.

“Em! Emm…” Lin Jing popped her eyes in shock and started to struggle. However, as a sick woman, she was no match for the two strong men. No matter how hard she struggled, the two men didn’t relax their grip even a little bit.

Some other people saw that, but turned their eyes away and pretended to not see it. It had nothing to do with them, and they didn’t want any trouble.

At that moment, Hu Ba, who was guarding the temporary base, was squatting on a mutated tree, chewing a grass leaf. Suddenly, he changed his expression and stood upon the branch, looking at one direction alarmedly.

“Roar…” ‘Stay alert!’

In two seconds, he gave a roar. Hearing his voice, the surrounding zombies immediately turned vigilant. Then, they sensed an irresistible pressure.

Chang Qingqing was sitting upstairs in the temporary office together with Lan Lu. Suddenly, she sprung up and ran to the window to look outside, her expression changing as well.

“What’s wrong?” Noticing her strange behavior, Lan Lu asked curiously.

“Something is coming!” Chang Qingqing’s pretty face wore a serious look.

Lan Lu stood up and walked to the window, looking outside too. He saw the group of zombies out there on full alert under Hu Ba’s leadership. The vibes that belonged to two level-six zombies had been approaching them from a distance.

“Where they come from?” Lan Lu had a questioning look in his eyes, yet he wasn’t nervous.

Those were only two level-six zombies. He had no worries about them.

Next, he saw the two zombies stop hundreds of meters away. He couldn’t tell what they were doing.

“They stopped!” Chang Qingqing stayed composed without turning nervous because the two zombies had stopped moving.

“Roar…” ‘Leave!’

Hu Ba jumped onto a nearby building and gave the two zombies a roar to warn them and drive them away.

At that time, Mo and Ye Qingxian were both surprised. They glanced at each other and found confusion from each other’s eyes.

What was that? Were those people protected by zombies too?

They thought only All Beings Base people were living together with zombies. It turned out that Green Mountain Base was in the same situation.

They weren’t sure about it though.

What was the relationship between those zombies and those people? The human beings in the base also had strong vibes. Clearly, one of them was even stronger than those zombies. So, those human beings surely weren’t the zombies’ captives.

Was it really the same as what was happening in All Beings Base?

While the two level-six zombies were catching the attention of Hu Ba, Chang Qingqing and Lan Lu, who were the strongest ones among all, a dark figure had been following Lin Jing’s scent and approaching her quietly but speedily.

“Em…” Lin Jing was still struggling. At last, she opened her mouth wide and bit the hand that was covering her mouth.

“Ouch! Damn you! How dare you bite me! F*ck!” The man shouted in pain and quickly pulled his hand out of Lin Jing’s hand.

Lin Jing bit him with all her strength, so she actually wounded that man. As the man pulled his hand out of her mouth, a piece of his skin was torn off.

“Ah!” He gave another shout with pain, veins throbbing in his temples. He was so angry that he raised a hand and gave Lin Jing a slap on the face.

Clap!

“You bloody b*tch! How dare you bite me! I’ll make you bite something bigger later!” While yelling, that man violently grasped Lin Jing’s chest, but her thick coat protected her.

“Ah! Let me go! Let me go! Stop! Help! Help… em…” Once that man took his hand away, Lin Jing burst in screams. But soon, that man covered her mouth again.

The woman who lived together with Lin Jing had been carefully observing the surrounding area. Lin Jing’s scream gave her a start, so she immediately turned back and scolded the two men.

“Keep her quiet! Idiots! Do you want to get busted?”

The man who got bitten responded angrily, “I get it! Damn it! This woman bit me. I’ll f*ck her to death!”

Just like that, the three people dragged Lin Jing into an abandoned building nearby.
