In fact, most people on the scene more or less considered this base their home. Otherwise, they would have left for Sea City Base together with the ones who weren’t capable of fighting. They were angry because Lin Feng had kept the secret from them, but they couldn’t deny that they were satisfied with their lives in the base.

Seeing Qiu Lili, Yun Meng, and the other zombies take off their sunglasses, the people were all stunned. They had already been shocked when they heard about those zombies, and now, seeing them with their own eyes, they were astonished.

“They’re really zombies! We really have zombies in our base!” People automatically panicked at the sight of the zombies. They all believed that zombies were monsters feeding on people. That long-held belief made them afraid of zombies.

Qiu Lili and Yun Meng often showed up by Lin Qiao’s side, and the entire base had known about them. They had always been mysterious, but now their mystery was explained: They turned out to be zombies.

They were actually two level-seven zombies!

“Do you have other questions? You’ve signed an agreement with the base, and so have we. As same as you guys, we also need to follow the rules of this base. We never intended to disturb the life of the residents of Base Number One.” Standing beside Qiu Lili, Yun Meng looked at the people who were drawing back in a flurry and said.

“You would keep the secret forever if it weren’t leaked, would you?” Some of the people said angrily. They had created a distance between the podium and themselves.

“We kept the secret from you so that you can live without worry. If you were all informed that this place was a zombie base, would you still live here? If you knew about the truth, would there still be a space for them to live?” Lin Feng said calmly, pointing at Yun Meng.

“They are zombies now, but they never forgot that they used to be humans. They were used to their old lifestyle. Even though they’ve become zombies, they still have their old habits and humanity. They want to live a peaceful life like humans, so they needed to fight their zombie nature. They are zombies, but they also have the right to pursue the life they like,” Lin Feng continued.

Those zombies would never hurt humans. In fact, as same as Lin Qiao, all the zombies with human memories were in a quite embarrassing situation at present. They weren’t humans nor a hundred percent zombies. They were stuck between the two species, and neither of the two sides wanted them. That was why Lin Qiao built the base for the zombies who shared her embarrassing situation to live in. She built the base for the ones like Liu Jun, Qiu Lili, Yun Meng, Xie Dong, Shen Yujen, and the others.

“Since this base belongs to zombies, you shouldn’t have opened to human residents if you don’t want to hurt them!” Some people still had discontentment. However, their voices had grown weaker than before.

“You asked to join us. We didn’t even invite you. And my brother has said, your life has nothing to do with the residents in Base Number Two. You live your life, and they live theirs. We took you in out of kindness. If you see our kindness as fake, we’re now offering to send you away. You can think of our two years of service as a charity. You are free to leave right now!” Lin Wenwen stepped up from behind Lin Feng and said to the people with a sarcastic tone.

Apart from the ones who were brought back from Hades Base by Lin Qiao, the rest of the residents had joined the base willingly. But now, those people were having some negative thoughts about the base, which displeased Lin Wenwen.

“I’m going to stay this once again. This base isn’t just for zombies. It’s for humans too. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have divided it into two parts. If you can’t accept this, please leave. And if you can accept it, you are welcome to stay. We will be responsible for your lives and safety,” Lin Feng continued loudly.

The people who had earlier shouted about leaving were now looking at the ones surrounding them with hesitation. If they chose to leave, they would have to join another base, which could be Sea City Base or Huaxia Base. Not to mention the possibly awful living conditions in those bases, merely the journey itself could kill them. After all, the world was full of zombies, mutated animals and plants, and underground creatures. Currently, there was also a poisonous mist spreading everywhere. Their chance of survival would be very low. If they chose to stay, they would be sharing the base with a group of zombies, facing the risk of being eaten by those zombies. They might even be seen as enemies by the people from the other bases. But at least, they would have enough food and daily supplies.

Food was essential; no one could live without food. When there was no stable source of food, everything else would be meaningless!

“We’re not leaving. We just want to stay alive, after all. How are we gonna stay alive if there’s no food?” Abruptly, Dong Xinxin said with a loud voice.

Behind her were the hunters under her command. They had been following her lead since before the apocalypse and were all trustworthy and reliable. They were willing to follow her every word, and she was right anyway. In the post-apocalyptic era, everyone was striving to live. For them, food was the most important thing, and nothing else mattered.

Besides, the zombies in the base wouldn’t hurt humans anyway; Lin Feng had made that very clear in front of all the people. In the future, those zombies would be under the supervision of the entire base.

“No matter what you say, it’s pointless. In their eyes, we are monsters. They won’t accept our existence, no matter how hard to try to convince them. We can’t keep the secret anymore, so let’s just cast all the humans out! If we let them stay here, we’ll have to keep them safe and mentally healthy. That’s going to be so troublesome.” A slightly hoarse, careless voice was heard.

People raised their heads to see a tall and slim man standing on top of a utility pole, looking down at the people. His handsome face was wearing a proud, faint smile, and his hands rested in his trousers pockets. Near him, a girl in a white dress was quietly standing on top of another utility pole,her long hair dancing in the air. Her body was in perfect shape, and her pretty face was expressionless. She coldly looked at the people in the square; her black zombie eyes were glowing with a weird white light.

“Mo Yan, shut up! I want to punch you every time I hear your voice! How can we possibly cast all humans out? What about Lin Feng and his family? Aren’t they humans? Are you going to cast them out too? I think you’ll be the first one to be cast out by Chief when she comes back!” Qiu Lili glared at him and said.

Mo Yan shrugged, saying carelessly, “They can leave, and they can stay. They can do whatever they want.”
