“Cooperation, of course! Or, do you want me to make you guys choose between life and death?” Lin Qiao gave then each a wicked glance.
Both Yan Huiguang and Shui Mingjun shut their mouths instantly. After a few seconds of silence, the latter said, “You want me to go to your base and work for you together with him, right? Why are you so sure that we’ll agree?”
Lin Qiao tilted her head and responded to him carelessly, “I’m not so sure. I’m letting you guys choose. Coming to live in my All Beings Base will be better than your secret life in Sky Fire Base. And you, you don’t need to hide from place to place while trying to find somewhere to undertake your experiments. I can let you do your experiments in my base. So, why won’t you guys say yes?”
“Oh, it’ll be fine if you want to say no.” She paused briefly and continued, “As I’ve said, killing you won’t affect me much. Do you not like me for some reason that makes you not want to work for me?”
She was powerful, and she was running a base. She could so everything that the other base leaders could, and even things that they couldn’t. What could possibly keep the two men from working for her?
There was no deadly hatred between them and her. Why would they choose death instead of working for her?
“Are you willing to let me do my experiments? You are aware what exactly my experiment is, aren’t you?” Yan Huiguang looked at her and asked with surprise.
“Yes, but I’d like you to switch your concentration. Instead of turning people into zombies, I want you to think about how to turn zombies into people. Isn’t that interesting too?” Lin Qiao folded her arms and said.
Hearing her, Yan Huiguang fell into silence.
Shui Mingjun looked at Lin Qiao, then at Yan Huiguang. “Whatever!” he said, “I’m already here, so I think you should know about my decision.”
Yan Huiguang looked at him and stayed silent.
Hearing his words, Lin Qiao instantly clapped her hands and said, “Good, you are a capable person! You will be someone in my Base Number One!”
“Since you have already made your decision, come with me.” After saying that, Lin Qiao raised an arm and let a few military-used off-road vehicles out of her space. Next, she waved at the group of zombies who had been watching from aside the whole time, then got into the first car.
The zombies quickly followed her into the cars.
Shui Mingjun raised his head and gave Yan Huiguang a glance, then snorted as he got into a car in the middle. Yan Huiguang expressionlessly watched Lin Qiao’s car drive away, then Shui Mingjun’s. In the end, the last car was parked before him, and the driver looked at him.
“Are you getting in or what? Do you want to walk instead?”
Yan Huiguang blinked, then quickly moved toward the car door.
Lin Qiao’s motorcade moved toward Green Mountain Base. On the way, she sometimes told the others to keep moving while she herself went away to collect zombie nuclei or energy nuclei.
She wouldn’t spare all the zombies between level-four and level-six who gave out a strong hostility and blood scent. So far, she hadn’t run into any zombie dominator, but did find two level-seven mutated beasts.
Looking at the hill-sized, hairy yak in front of her, she wondered how many tons the creature weighed. Its long and black hair hung from its back, nearly reaching the ground. It was about thirty meters long and over ten meters tall, with a pair of sharp, enormous horns visible on its head. Several lines of sharp teeth stuck out of its mouth, stained with dried blood.
Ever since the apocalypse happened, the predators stayed as predators while the vegetarians turned into predators as well. The creatures rooted in the soil were able to run, and even plants had started to feed on flesh.
The level-seven mutated yak reminded Lin Qiao of the level-seven mutated horse that she had killed three hours ago. The mutated horse was pretty, except that it had a pair of featherless wings that affected its appearance strongly; all of its other parts was great. It was out of control when she found it.
The crazy horse was bumping into everything in its sight, including rocks and hills.
When Lin Qiao found it, it had found her motorcade as well. It rushed straight at the vehicles while baring its mouth and attempted to hit the cars with its head. It was swift, darting up to the vehicles from about three hundred meters away within a blink of an eye.
At last, Lin Qiao made a move to end the crazy horse because its featherless wings were too unpleasant to the eyes.
It was, of course, not easy to finish off a level-seven crazy horse. When it charged at the vehicles at lightning speed, it brought over a violent wave of wind power that shredded one of her cars.
The zombies in that car would have been torn into pieces if they hadn’t jumped out of the car quickly enough. Even Lin Qiao didn’t manage to save that car.
The enormous yak was chewing something. Dark-brown, thick liquid flowed out of its mouth and dripped down its jaw.
“Whoa! I thought it was a hill when I look at it from afar. If it were not chewing something, I wouldn’t be able tell that this was a yak,” Yan Xiao was standing beside Jingyan, looking at the yak with interest.
The yak was lying on the ground at first. It sensed Lin Qiao’s vibe when the latter was hundreds of meters from it and stood up. Causing the earth to quake slightly. Its eyes and face were all covered by its hair. Except for its mouth and teeth and pair of huge horns, everything was covered by its hair.
The gigantic yak breathed heavily and made no extra movement except chewing the food in its mouth. The air breathed out of its nose fluttered the plants before it.
“Do you dare to fight it?” Jingyan asked Yan Xiao.
Yan Xiao shook her head and gave her a glare, “Are you kidding me? That is a level-seven mutated beast, not a level-five one. It can flatten me with its hoof.”
“You’re right. It’s so huge! I bet it has a super thick skin. It must be good at defense,” Jingyan nodded and said expressionlessly.
Lin Qiao said to Lin Kui, who was standing by her side, “It’s measuring our powers. I can feel that it’s scanning every single one of us.”
“Its eyes are covered by its hair. Can it see us?” Lin Kui looked at the hairy yak.
“It’s probably not looking at us with eyes,” Lin Qiao glanced at him and said. Then, she abruptly raised a hand. With that, a black fireball was thrown out at the yak.
The yak gave out a scent of blood, a rotten odor, and a vibe of violence. It was like a moving, enormous monster. A strong, dark, and evil vibe could be sensed from its body.
