Zombie Sister Strategy

Observing her expression, Lin Feng stopped short and asked her, “Are you having any ideas?”

Lin Qiao dropped her hand from her chin, then crossed her arms before her chest as she turned to look at him and said uncertainly, “I’m just thinking that… um… maybe Lin Wenwen is the only one who can know what we need. I hope she can get back as soon as possible. Besides, Yuan Tianxing’s condition isn’t our only problem.”

After saying that, she waved at the others, then turned and walked out of Yuan Tianxing’s room. On hearing what she said, the others suddenly felt that more questions were probably waiting for them. Only Lin Feng, Chen Yuting, and Shen Yujen thought about the news which was heard earlier.

While walking out, Lin Qiao said, “You guys have ten minutes to prepare for the meeting. Come to the second conference room. Oh, go and tell Wu Chengyue to come to the meeting as well. He needs to know about it too.”

“Yes ma’am!” Shen Yujen immediately left to inform Wu Chengyue. Duan Juan helped the others preparing the materials that would be needed for the meeting.

Ten minutes later, people went into the second conference room in Base Number One. By the time they arrived, Lin Qiao was already standing by her exclusive seat with her arms folded, thinking about something.

Wu Chengyue came over while holding Teng in his arms. At the sight of Lin Qiao, Teng immediately reached out toward her and yelled, “Mama! Mama!”

Lin Qiao raised her head to give him a glance, then said, “Be quiet.”

Teng immediately fell into silence and looked at her with a grievance. If there weren’t so many people on the scene, he would have started to loudly accuse her mother for having no love at all. However, as there were other people in the room, all he could say was ‘Mama’. He couldn’t let too many people know that he was able to talk.

Lin Qiao gave him another glance. Seeing the look on the little boy’s face, she couldn’t help but look at Wu Chengyue blandly, “Have you been abusing my son?”

Wu Chengyue had been looking at her with a smile ever since he came in. On hearing what she said, he couldn’t help but curve his eyes and lips in an even bigger smile.

“How can that be possible? Your son is such a capable little boy. Would he ever allow me to abuse him? Besides, am I the kind of man who’ll abuse his own son? It’s not like that I hate him.”

Lin Qiao came to him and looked at Teng from head to toe, then said, “You lied. You didn’t feed him well. He has lost weight.”

Wu Chengyue immediately erased the smile on his face and said, “He grew taller, okay?” What the hell? How could she falsely charge him for not feeding his son well and causing the boy to lose weight? He wasn’t happy to hear that!

Meanwhile, the others all found their seats and sat down, leaving Wu Chengyue the seat in front of their Chief. Chen Yuting, Lin Feng, Yun Meng, Qiu Lili, and Lin Kui came in to hear the conversation between Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue.

Lin Qiao made two steps backward and said, “Hm, that little extra height means nothing. Alright, go and sit on the side with your sister. Be quiet. If you make any noise, I’ll throw you out.” She said the last few sentences to Teng without showing any mercy. The latter only looked at her, feeling that she was exactly like a stepmother.

At that moment, Wu Yueling quietly came over and carried Teng to a couch in a corner and sat onto it with him.

As everybody took a seat, Lin Qiao sat down on her chair and said, “You’ve received the messages from the other bases. I’ve witnessed similar scenes five times on my way back from the Northwest. All those creatures came from the underground, and I could feel that their vibes are completely different from the vibes of any creature on the earth’s surface. They’re all omnivorous animals. They eat all living creatures on the earth’s surface. If they can’t find any, they would eat plants or even zombies.”

Duan Juan printed out the information about the underground creatures that Lin Qiao had met on papers and distributed them to the people on the scene. Detailed descriptions about those creatures could be read from the material, and how the surrounding environment changed when they came out. The information provided by the other bases were added to the material as well.

While reading the material, people quietly listened to Lin Qiao’s explanation.

“They have a few things in common. As you may have already known, they are all highly aggressive. As same as those underground gorillas, even a smaller one among them could be as strong as a level-three mutated beast on the earth’s surface. Many of them are at level six or seven. Of course, level-eight ones can be found as well. More importantly, they are social animals. If you run into one of them, you may consider yourself lucky, because we’ll find them in herds most of the times,” said Lin Qiao to the others.

Her words put a nervous look on the others’ faces. However, she didn’t stop talking. “They have no superpowers,” she continued. “They launch pure physical attacks, although there are exceptions, and some of them might have some special abilities. For example, I’ve met a six-footed, fur-less, huge cat from the underground. It’s extremely fast that it moved over a mile away within a blink of an eye. I’ve also seen some kind of… um… worms. They have huge mouths and sharp teeth. Their saliva can melt a three-hundred kilograms rock. As for defense, most superpowers can’t hurt them. Or, only one type of superpower can cause some harm to each kind of creature.”

It meant that the superpowers that human beings and zombies currently had could hardly hurt those creatures. The only way to fight them was the original ways of fighting, such as using cold and hot weapons, or claws and teeth. However, most of those creatures had metal-hard skin or shells.

“Apart from those, I also need to tell you that those omnivorous animals especially liked to eat human beings. The human scent can even make them crazily high. So, I think human bases will soon become their targets.” What Lin Qiao pointed out the last was like a knife hanging upon people’s heads that would fall at any moment.

“What? They will attack human bases?” Qiu Lili was the first to break the calm as she popped her red, bright eyes and asked.

“They crave human flesh and blood,” said Lin Kui to her, “They might not realize that before they could eat humans. But, once they had a taste of human beings, they would start to crave more eagerly. Like junkies, once they try it, they will never forget about it. They would want to eat human beings desperately. However, that addiction won’t hurt them like how drug addiction hurts people.”

His explanation made Qiu Lili’s hair stand on their ends, and she suddenly started to feel sorry for humans. The life of humans was already hard enough. And now, they might even become the food of those underground creatures.
