“No way! Those are all the woman’s trusted followers. It’s horrible if it’s really like what you think, that the ones around the woman are all level six or seven zombies. Also, they don’t look very much like zombies, except for their eyes.” The other senior leaders of Huaxia Base couldn’t believe it, despite how affirmative Wei Haichao sounded.
First of all, those people behaved exactly like normal human beings. Were they able to mimic humans? They couldn’t possibly have learned to do that within a short time, could they? Second, the woman often brought them to the other bases. Wasn’t she worried that their true nature might be exposed? The woman could be considered super bold if that was the truth.
“Go and dig into their backgrounds in detail!” Si Kongchen gave Han Xiao an order.
“Yes, sir!” Han Xiao immediately figured out his meaning. Si Kongchen wanted him to do background checks of the people whom Wei Haichao just talked about. He wanted to know if they had survived some kind of critical situations or if they had never lived in other human bases before.
If they had never lived in any other human bases, they could be very suspicious. However, it was not easy to find out if they had lived in other human bases before or not, because a few bases had already been destroyed. Their records would be hard to find if they were from one of those bases.
Only less than twenty percent of the survivors from those bases had joined Huaxia Base. Getting information about Lin Qiao’s people from those survivors would be impossible. Therefore, Si Kongchen and Han Xiao didn’t pin their hope on the background check. To prove Wei Haichao’s guess, they needed some solid evidence.
“No wonder that base is always so hard to break. We’ve sent so many people there, but none returned alive. If All Being Base people were able to detect the intruders by their scents, how could our people not be spotted?” Something else crossed Wei Haichao’s mind.
“That’s possible,” Si Kongchen nodded and said, “Sea City Base and All Beings Base are now allied. If All Beings Base can do that, Sea City Base must be capable of it too.”
“Will those underground creatures still be interested in humans if their appetites were satisfied by zombies?” He knitted his brows and continued. If that were the case, Sea City Base would survive again, wouldn’t it? How come it was always so lucky?
“So, we still need to drive those monsters crazy, don’t we?” Liu Zhinan sneered and said.
Si Kongchen glanced at him and asked blandly, “Can you make that kind of drug?”
Liu Zhinan gave him a glance with surprise, saying, “Don’t you have the formula? You never gave it to me, so how am I supposed to produce the drug?”
“I’ll give it to you when I find it,” said Si Kongchen expressionlessly.
Liu Zhinan shrugged.
In the space, Lin Qiao had her eyes on Si Kongchen and his people, who were not far away from her. She couldn’t help but feel speechless. Si Kongchen was staying exactly where he was, waiting for her to exit her space. However, the people under his command had been doing a lot of work.
She wondered how things were going on in her own base. Lin Feng and the others should be able to handle the situation, right?
She wasn’t worried that some serious kind of crisis might occur in her base, but she wasn’t feeling good being stuck in Si Kongchen’s base either. She was, of course, still worried about her base.
At that time, over ten-thousand kilometers underground, the enormous level-nine monster once again crawled out of its nest.
“Roar!”
Once it came out, the entire underground space fell into stillness. Soon, the monster started hunting again. This time, it hunted twice as many prey as the last time!
As same as the last time, it dragged a prey back into its nest as the finishing dessert of that meal. In the meanwhile, it raised its head and glanced upward.
On top of the underground space, the thick, rolling energy mist seemed to be changing.
The ones that stayed there under Lin Qiao’s order were carefully observing the monster from afar. Finding that it had hunted much more prey than the last time, they started feeling confused.
It was already the third time since their Chief left. How come the monster came out to hunt for food so frequently? And why was its appetite growing larger and larger?
It felt like the monster was preparing for something!
The people on the earth’s surface didn’t know about what was going on in the underground world, while the ones underground had no idea what was happening on the earth’s surface.
Outside All Beings Base, a large herd of dogs had gathered around the foot of a mountain near Mount Wu farm. In front of them was a group of underground creatures. The one leading the group wasn’t a level-eight one but a level-seven creature with countless tentacles.
At the moment, the tentacled creature was confronting the six-footed big cat.
The cat had its back to the farm as it glared at the tentacled creature, baring its teeth fiercely and preparing to launch attacks. If the tentacled creature made another step forward, the cat would jump on it and start an intense battle against it.
The underground creatures were afraid of the cat. The cat was at level-seven, and so was their leader. Underground creatures couldn’t resist the pressure coming from higher-leveled beings.
The tentacled creature was the only one who had the courage to confront the big cat. It was huge, with no feet. The upper part of its body was small, while the lower part was larger, and it had tentacles all over its body. When it moved, it had to prop its body up with those tentacles.
The cat looked at the tentacled creature carefully and found it looking familiar, a little like a giant pile of poop.
Yes, it looked exactly like a giant pile of poop, albeit with hair! It was also giving out a terrible odor, so bad that it could even make some people feel dizzy!
That odor made the dogs on the scene feel as if their noses were disabled. Some said that dogs liked eating poop, but for sure, they did not like the smell of that tentacled-poop-monster!
For underground creatures, those dogs could be a delicious meal. However, the cat wouldn’t let them eat those dogs.
The dogs, who had realized that they were targeted as food, weren’t happy either. They bared their teeth while uttering deep, warning growls from their throats from time to time. The hair on their necks and backs stood straight up as well.
Not far away, Old Guo and some zombie soldiers were standing on top of a hill, looking at those creatures.
“Thankfully, the one leading those creatures isn’t a level-eight one. The big cat stopped them and saved us a lot of trouble.” Old Guo hunched his back, with a hand holding a walking cane carved with a tiger head and the other scratching his chin. Standing by his sides, Liu Jun and the others nodded in agreement. They summoned a crowd of wild zombies to protect the farm from underground creatures, but it turned out to be unnecessary.
