Lin Qiao didn’t head back to All Beings Base, but to Huaxia Base. Before going home, she needed to make a visit to Huaxia Base to find out if Si Kongchen had made some moves recently.
Miles away from the hole, Lin Qiao found a quiet area and let out the ones in her space, along with her four pets.
“Phew, we’re finally out.” All of them felt relieved to see the sun again. Zombies and humans shared the same feeling. Zombies had great eyesight, but after all, they still had human souls. They all felt depressed being in the dark underground world.
“Ah, I could really use a sunbath. I feel that I’m covered in either mold or that weird, poisonous energy,” Kong Qingming raised his pretty face to shower under the sun, taking a deep breath and lowering his head while rubbing his arms.
The others acted more calmly than he did. Long Qingying expressionlessly walked up behind Lin Qiao and found a flat area to stand together with Duan Juan. Lu Tianyi took only one glance at the sky after he came out and then squatted by Black’s side, watching the three run about.
In the underground world and on the earth’s surface, Bowwow and the mushroom always ran like unbridled wild horses once they came out of the space. The young tiger, which was left in the space earlier, was also freed this time. It followed behind the two, running all over and sharpening its claws on trees from time to time.
“We’ll take our leave then,” Lei Cheng expressionlessly told Lin Qiao that he and his people needed to head home and report to their boss about the accomplished task.
“Alright, see you!” Lin Qiao turned to him and nodded.
Lei Cheng and his people left quickly, leaving the teams from All Beings Base and Sea City Base on the scene. They didn’t know where they were yet, so they adjusted their moods and started exploring the surrounding area.
“Where are we?”
“You and your men can go back to Sea City Base to submit the report,” said Lin Qiao to Kong Qingming, “I’m heading to Huaxia Base to find out what Si Kongchen and his men have been up to. We’ll talk about the next step once I get back.”
On hearing that, Kong Qingming didn’t say anything but glanced at Long Qingying and then looked at Lin Qiao pitifully.
“Why are you looking at me?” Lin Qiao rolled her eyes and said, “She doesn’t want to go with you. I can’t change her mind. Just go, go, go!”
While speaking, she waved at Kong Qingming like waving off a fly.
Kong Qingming looked at her speechlessly and then gave Long Qingying another glance. The other turned her eyes away to look at somewhere else. With no other choice, he left with the others from Sea City Base, driving a car which was put in Lin Qiao’s space earlier.
After the people from Green Mountain Base and Sea City Base left, Lin Qiao and her people drove toward Huaxia Base. In fact, she wanted to head home first and see her son when she came out of the underground world. However, she didn’t forget about her duty as a base leader. Preventing her base from falling into a crisis was her first priority.
The hole leading to the underground world was located right between Huaxia Base and All Beings Base, so she decided to make a trip to Huaxia Base before going home. She intended to tear Huaxia Base down, and to do that, she needed to figure Si Kongchen’s plan out .
While driving, Duan Juan couldn’t help but ask, “Will the level-nine monster come up to the earth’s surface? If it really came up, who’d be able to defeat it? Not even the level-nine man from Green Mountain Base has a chance against it, right?”
Humans had discovered that among zombies, mutated plants, animals, and human beings at the same level, humans were probably not the weakest, but the underground creatures were definitely the strongest. Humans couldn’t even win against zombies at their own levels, not to mention those underground creatures, which weren’t afraid of superpowers.
Lin Qiao was sitting in the front seat with her elbow resting on the window frame. On hearing Duan Juan’s question, she looked outside the window and said, “I don’t know if it’ll come out in the future, but it won’t come out right now. Maybe it won’t be willing to come to the earth’s surface. It’d be fine if it comes out alone without spreading that poisonous energy. If it does bring out the dark energy, we’d have no choice but to grow stronger as soon as we can and combine our powers to take the big guy down. We might not win by fighting separately, but we will win together.”
Humans didn’t have the power to kill the level-nine monster currently, but that didn’t mean they wouldn’t in the future either. Everyone still had a large room for growth. One level-nine human might not have a chance to win against the monster, but two might. If two level-nine humans still couldn’t win, the third one would join the battle. If the monster really came up along with the dark energy to hurt the environment on the earth’s surface, humans would unite and eliminate it. Being able to unite was the most important feature of humans!
“Our biggest problem now isn’t the monster, it’s humans. The situation has come to this stage, yet Si Kongchen that b*stard is still thinking about attacking Sea City Base instead of bettering the situation. I wonder if his brain is infected by the virus,” said Lin Qiao.
Duan Juan held the steering wheel with one hand as he looked straight ahead and responded, “I don’t think his brain ever worked properly. Only crazy people would do what he’s been doing.”
She knew that Huaxia Base had a lot of scientists, and many of them were controlled by Si Kongchen in nasty ways. Not everyone was working for Huaxia Base willingly. They had no choice as Si Kongchen had something on them. But of course, half of them were working for him out of their own wills. After all, the treatment was not bad.
Only crazy people would do anything to get what they wanted and satisfy their ambitions without having a bottom line.
Mankind wasn’t just threatened by the existence of zombies, but also the worsening environment, mutated plants and animals, as well as underground creatures. All those caused difficulties for humans to survive. Under such circumstances, all human bases were supposed to unite and come up with a plan together. They needed to figure out how to provide conditions to survive for humans under the current terrible circumstances. However, as the leader of the largest base in the country, Si Kongchen used the future of mankind as an excuse to cover his real intention of hurting other humans.
Lin Qiao sometimes wondered what exactly Si Kongchen and his men were thinking.
She sighed and said, “You healthy human beings can’t understand the crazy ones… Well, we zombies don’t understand them either.”
The last part of her speech was obviously a joke. Duan Juan turned and gave her a glance speechlessly.
“You’re a zombie, but you have a human soul. That’s enough.”
Lin Qiao shrugged and said, “I used to find it hard being a human, but now I feel that being a zombie who never lost her humanity but also has the wild nature of zombies is even harder.”
Humans were disciplined by moral standards and differentiated by moral qualities. She had become a zombie but was still restricted by the moral criteria of humans, so she needed to fight her zombie nature, the urge to feed on humans. If she accidentally ate a human being, she would enjoy the taste physically but feel an extreme disgust mentally.
