Lin Feng, Yuan Tianxing, and the others looked at each other.
“If you put it this way, I think she’s trying to make Si Kongchen and Wu Chengyue hold each other off, and is also waiting for some kind of twist of the situation. As for if she knows that something would happen in the underground, it’s hard to say. Maybe she already knew about it, or maybe she just took a guess.” Lin Feng found Xiao Licheng’s words making sense.
Among all people present, Lin Qiao knew about the underground world the best. Hence, she was likely to foresee the changes in the underground world.
Si Kongchen was able to keep the underground creatures away from his base but could not stop the poisonous gas from spreading. Huaxia Base would be facing the same problem as the other bases eventually. By then, he would have no time to attack the other bases. At that point, Lin Qiao could sneak out of her base and find an opportunity to attack him.
“Is the level-nine creature coming out?” Yuan Tianxing said with a frown, looking at Lin Wenwen, “Wenwen hasn’t foreseen anything about that. So, it’s not coming out, is it?”
“You can’t see that for sure,” said Lin Wenwen, “I didn’t foresee that, but it doesn’t mean that wouldn’t happen!”
At that time, Li Zheng showed up by the door and knocked on it while looking at the others. As Lin Feng nodded to signal for him to come in, he walked inside.
“The high-leveled underground creatures are behaving abnormally,” Li Zheng stood by Lin Feng’s side and said.
“What did they do?” Lin Feng raised his head to look at him. The others all looked at Li Zheng as well. The high-leveled creatures’ abnormal behavior must have something to do with the poisonous mist.
“They have become agitated. I think they’re preparing to attack our base. The low-leveled ones don’t seem to be motivated enough, so they’ve started giving up on them,” said Li Zheng.
That meant the underground creatures above level-five would gather together to attack human bases. That would be a strong force. Their numbers weren’t large, but human bases still wouldn’t possibly be able to resist their attacks. Those level-eight ones could flatten a base all by themselves!
Lin Feng and the others instantly felt under pressure. They had no idea what Lin Qiao was doing in Huaxia Base. How come she didn’t seem to worry about her base at all?
“Do you think your Chief may have left you guys something to guard your base? Even though most of your people have moved to Sea City Base, I still think she wouldn’t just leave your base behind like this.” Xiao Licheng looked at Lin Feng and the others and said uncertainly.
Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing exchanged glances and then shook their heads together. Then, Lin Feng turned to Li Zheng and said, “Go and talk to the ones from Base Number Two. Ask them if Chief had said something to them, or if she had left them something special.”
“What? What special?” Li Zheng looked at him with confusion.
“Just ask them the questions,” said Lin Feng.
“Yes, sir,” Li Zheng nodded and said.
After Li Zheng left, Lin Feng said to Yuan Tianxing and Xiao Licheng, “I don’t think we should pin our hope on that. Now, let’s think about what to do. If those high-leveled creatures really charge at us, we’ll have to draw back.”
Yuan Tianxing sighed and said, “Yeah. What else can we do?”
Lin Qiao had stolen the weapons that Huaxia Base created to fend against the underground creatures, but she hadn’t shipped those weapons back to her base yet! Catmint powder had been spread around the base, but people doubted it could stop those smart high-leveled creatures.
Soon after Li Zheng left, Qiu Lili and the others came over.
“You guys guessed right. Chief did leave us some words before she left. She told us to stay in the base, and everything will be fine,” Yun Meng came in and said to the others.
“Huh?” Yuan Tianxing and the others looked at her with confusion.
Lin Qiao wanted her people to stay in the base and not to worry. However, those high-leveled underground creatures were about to storm in and eat them all. How could they possibly stay in the base without doing anything?
Yun Meng shrugged, saying, “She said that. Didn’t you send your man to ask us about it?”
Qiu Lili walked to the window and leaned on the window frame while Yun Meng and Lin Kui each found themselves a seat.
“Chief did say that,” said Lin Kui seriously, “She said, if even we can’t stop them from rushing into our base, we should stay in the base and not go anywhere else.”
“Did she tell you why? There has to be a reason, right?” Lin Feng asked.
“No.” Qiu Lili and the other two shook their heads and responded in one voice.
Lin Feng, Yuan Tianxing, and Xiao Licheng didn’t know what to say.
“Will we really be fine? How come I don’t feel that way?” Yuan Tianxing said.
Xiao Licheng glanced at him and said, “She’s your Chief. Don’t you know if her words are reliable or not?”
Yuan Tianxing didn’t know how to respond to that.
“I believe in her. Maybe we should wait and see what’s going to happen. We can always leave when the situation becomes too dangerous,” Qiu Lili raised her hand and said to the others.
“I agree,” said Lin Wenwen. She had asked Dong Xinxin to stay. If any unexpected danger occurred, that girl would be able to help. As for Sea City Base, the people from All Beings Base didn’t need to worry about it. In the worst-case scenario, they would ask Dong Xiaowei to release his vibe and keep those creatures away. The level-nine vibe would stop those creatures from rushing straight into the base, no matter how crazy they might be.
Lin Feng stayed silent for a short while and said, “Since she has said that, I think we should follow her words. She probably said that for a reason. It’s her order, after all.”
They, of course, could not disobey their Chief’s order. After all, their Chief wasn’t an unreasonable person.
As people were making guesses about Lin Qiao’s plan, she was observing the outside from inside her space. Han Xiao and Wei Haichao had been coming to meet with Si Kongchen more and more frequently in recent days. Noticing that, she felt that it was about the time.
She closed her eyes and exited her space with invisibility. Standing there quietly, she looked at Si Kongchen. A few seconds later, she turned and headed toward the inner sector of Huaxia Base.
Sensing Lin Qiao exit the space, Lu Tianyi was surprised and confused. Why did she go out at this time? Wasn’t it dangerous on the outside?
However, as Lin Qiao had already gone out, he couldn’t ask her. He would have to wait for her to come back.
Lin Qiao spent a few seconds to make sure that Si Kongchen wasn’t reacting to her movement, and then she headed toward her next target. That target was located somewhere in Huaxia Base.
Si Kongchen had no idea that whom he had spent two weeks waiting for had sneaked away. He didn’t sense her movement at all. After spending two weeks waiting, he already firmly believed that Lin Qiao wouldn’t exit her space unless she wanted to be spotted by him!
