After Sun Lunan and his people left, Lin Qiao and the three creatures kept moving around the rat group, observing those rats. After a while of walking, she suddenly sensed a familiar zombie scent.
She paused on a tree, then stood on a large branch and waited. Soon, a level-four wind-powered zombie landed near her.
“Roar!” ‘Chief!’
That level-four zombie was a member of Xie Dong’s squad.
She looked at the zombie as she nodded and said, “Have you been watching this area the whole time?”
“Roar…” ‘Yes .’
The zombie quickly nodded, wearing a grievance on his face.
He was afraid of rats! He was the first one who discovered the group of rats. His boss sent him back here to keep an eye on those rats. The poor zombie felt extremely uncomfortable looking at those large, black rats.
Sensing the zombie’s feelings, Lin Qiao looked at him with surprise and asked, “You’re a zombie. Why are you afraid of rats?”
“Roar…” ‘Those rats eat zombies! ‘
The zombie immediately responded with a weak voice.
Lin Qiao looked at the zombie speechlessly. So, the zombie was afraid of rats. He had been observing the rat group for a month under Xie Dong’s command already. Was he still afraid of those rats?
“Tell me about the current situation of the rat group. Since you’re here, I don’t need to keep running about,” Lin Qiao sat down on the branch and said to the zombie while putting a hand on her belly.
She asked the zombie how large the rat group was, and how long it would take to make a full circle around it, as well as some other questions. She didn’t ask about the number, as there were too many rats to be counted.
“Are there any extra strong rats?” After learning about the rough size of the rat group, Lin Qiao asked another question.
The zombie shook his head.
‘Maybe you just don’t know.’ Lin Qiao looked at the zombie and thought. After all, the zombie was merely at level-four. It was only able to sense the mutated creatures below level-six.
Lin Qiao took a level-five energy nucleus out of her space as she sat on the tree and absorbed it. Her superpower was gone, but she could still absorb energy. The energy that flowed into her body would all be absorbed by Viney. There was no zombie nucleus in her brain anymore, so Viney could no longer absorb her power.
Thankfully, she didn’t feel any discomfort from her lower abdomen. At first, she was worried that the lack of energy would affect Viney’s growth, so she absorbed the energy nucleus. Then, she found out that Viney took all the energy she absorbed.
That made her less worried.
She spent a few days in that area to learn about the current development of the rat group. The rats had stopped expanding. Well, maybe not exactly, but at least they no longer ate and destroyed everything they saw.
Black, Bowwow, and the mushroom had a very good time, as they were feeding constantly. Black and Bowwow brought Lin Qiao the energy nuclei that they harvested. Unlike them, the mushroom kept everything it got, without sharing with Lin Qiao at all.
Black the level-six snake, was an invincible being among the rat group. It chased behind the level-three-to-six rats all day, stirring the entire rat group. The lower-leveled rats couldn’t arouse its interest.
Those rats that used to bite everything they saw ran desperately with fear under the vibe from their natural enemies. None of them dared to attack Black, who was a level-six mutated snake after all. His vibe could scare the lower-leveled rat straight to death.
Meanwhile, Lin Qiao absorbed the energy nuclei that Bowwow and Black brought her and then let Viney absorb the energy. Sadly, those mutated rats weren’t edible for humans. Otherwise, Lin Qiao would catch a bunch of them and bring them back to the base as an extra meal for the people in her base.
Actually, if those rats were edible for humans, people would come and kill them even without Lin Qiao’s help. If that happened, the situation of the rat group might turn the other way around.
The four of them walked out of the forest park. There was no road for a car, so Lin Qiao sat on Bowwow’s back. The zombie dog’s hair were still short, but soft. The dog was huge; after his last upgrade, he had reached Lin Qiao’s chest in height. Not including his tail, his body was nearly two meters long.
Carrying Lin Qiao, who weighed less than fifty kilograms, was surely easy for him.
They avoided all the zombies and mutated beasts on their way, unless the beast was at level-six or above.
At about one mile from the base, they saw that group of people again.
Lin Qiao sent her three pets to the surrounding forest when she sensed those people. She couldn’t send them back into her space, because in order to do that, she herself would need to enter the space too. Currently, she couldn’t bring anyone out of her space either, unless she didn’t have to stay where she was at the moment, and didn’t care if she would jump tens of miles away.
Standing on a roof, she saw the fence wall of her base. The zombie wall was gone. Instead, the farm in Mount Wu area was surrounded by a thick crowd of zombies.
“It’s her!” With surprise. Sun Lunan saw Lin Qiao who was standing on a roof far away.
“I think she’s from the new base. Where we met her before was near the base,” another man saw Lin Qiao as well, and said with his eyes glowing.
“I think so,” Sun Lunan glanced at Lin Qiao, then took his eyes away. At that moment, every single one in his car was injured, covered in blood and dirt. They were exhausted, and their limbs were sore. All they wanted was to enter the base, get some rest, and have a meal!
More importantly, some severely injured people in their group needed medical help. They weren’t relaxed yet, even though they had entered the safe zone around the base.
Every base had created a zombie-free area around their base, at least two-hundred meters in radius. Each day, the army from the base would come out to clear out the zombies and expand the zombie-free zone slowly.
Of course, the safe zone around All Beings Base didn’t need to be maintained by the army, because it was a special base.
Sun Lunan and his people had entered the safe zone not long ago. However, they hadn’t relaxed their vigilance, because they didn’t know that the safe zone of the new base was so large.
From the roof, Lin Qiao glanced at the motorcade and found that the trucks were still undamaged, but a few off-road cars were missing.
She didn’t pay much attention to those people, but turned and leaped off the building.
