Next Day, Lin Qiao brought Xie Dong to Lin Feng’s room. The door was open; in the room, Lin Feng was reading a book with Lin Xiaolu, who was sitting on his knees.
Lin Qiao raised her hand to knock the door. The people in the room turned and saw a bald lady in camouflage suit standing by the door.
“Ah, you’re here! Please come in.” in Feng put Lin Xiaolu down and pointed the other room as he said to her, “Xiaolu, go play with your aunty.”
“Alright,” Lin Xiaolu nodded and replied before hopping toward the door. While getting close to Lin Qiao, she stared at the latter’s head. Lin Qiao smiled at her in response; after the little girl had left, she walked in with Xie Dong.
Lin Feng pointed at the empty couch, then smiled at her and said, “Please sit down! It’s a surprise that you returned before Tianxing. I thought he’d be back earlier than you.”
Lin Qiao nodded as she sat down and responded, “I guess he’s still out there because he hasn’t found the people that he’s looking for.”
Lin Feng puzzled at first, then stared at Lin Xiao with surprise and asked, “Eh? You can talk normally? If not because of your eyes, I wouldn’t believe that you’re a zombie. This is inconceivable.”
After saying that, he stared at Lin Qiao again. ‘Isn’t this zombie evolving too rapidly? Which level is she at? Above level-six? But, her eyes are still black…No, her eyes are wearing a green color now!’ He said to himself.
He suddenly discovered a pupil-sized green spot in the middle of each of Lin Qiao’s eyes as if she were wearing cosmetic contact lenses. The green spots were very light-colored, so he didn’t notice them before observing her eyes carefully.
Lin Feng suspected that Lin Qiao was at above level-six because she seemed to have been playing the leading role among the group of zombies. Lin Feng believed that she was not weak. Besides, she wasn’t able to talk fluently before, but was now.
This rate of improvement was way too amazing!
Lin Qiao gave a faint smile and said, “I’m not an ordinary zombie…Alright, let’s talk about something serious.” While speaking, she took out a few maps from her space and spread them on the table. After that, she pointed at Upper City District, Lower City District, and West Lake District on the maps.
“I found these maps from the Planning Bureau of Hang Zhou City,” she said, “I found that many supplies in these areas haven’t been collected. Upper City District and Lower City District had the biggest population back in the old world, so these two areas are now crowded by zombies. Moreover, both these areas seemed to have been sealed. So, I guess that not too many people managed to escape from these two areas when the apocalypse happened.”
Lin Feng slightly lowered his head to look at the areas that Lin Qiao pointed at as she continued, “I’ve checked most of the bustling areas. Those places were full of zombies, but not many traces caused by fighting were found. If you want, we can make a zombie-free area for you, and will expand that area slowly in the future. West Lake District has many mutant plants, which I think can be put to use.”
Lin Feng thought for a moment, then asked, “I have a question that I wanted to ask you before. You are able to gather zombies and build zombie walls, so the outsiders will need to pass the zombie wall before entering our place. But, have you ever thought about how our own people will exit? Even if you… eh, you zombies are willing to escort us, I think you’re a little shorthanded. I assume only you and the young girl in white dress are able to control ordinary zombies, right?”
Lin Qiao nodded and responded, “Yes, her name is Qiu Lili. You all know that she’s a zombie queen. Apart from her, I can control ordinary zombies as well. Junjun has upgraded as well, so she can also do that now. But you’re right, we are shorthanded indeed! You reminded me of that. I need to recruit new zombie members.”
In fact, Lin Qiao had thought about that question already, but didn’t tell Lin Feng. Now that he mentioned it, she decided to conveniently let him know about her plan.
Earlier on, she had that idea when she saw the young female zombie who stole Wu Yueling in West Lake District. However, that young zombie looked a little wild and weird. Therefore, to bring her into the group, Lin Qiao needed to figure out what she was thinking.
To serve that purpose, she asked Qiu Lili to make contact with that snake-eyed young female zombie.
Lin Feng looked at her with doubts as he said, “The ones you want to recruit aren’t all zombie kings and queens, are they? Are you sure?” Somehow, he felt that zombie kings and queens were not dangerous at all in Lin Qiao’s eyes. Well, they were not threatening to her indeed.
Lin Qiao gave a faint smile and replied, “Don’t worry, I’ll put them under control. As long as I’m here, they won’t hurt any human.” She wouldn’t let any zombie or human hurt Lin Feng and his family.
Lin Feng wasn’t in favor of Lin Qiao’s idea, yet he understood that he had no right to interfere with her. “Alright then,” he said, “You have the right to make decisions for your team. But, I hope that you can make sure of the safe distance between your team and mine. If any of your zombies hurt our people, it would be bad for both of us.”
Lin Qiao nodded and responded, “Don’t worry! Any zombie who loses control and attempts to eat human beings, I’ll destroy it first.”
Lin Feng thought for a moment, then added, “I suggest to not let other people know about your plan when you carry it out.”
“Thank you!” Lin Qiao smiled faintly.
Lin Feng pointed at the Upper City District while saying, “We’re going to the Upper City District then. But, we have to wait until Yuan Tianxing and the others have returned. Later on, we’ll be needing a lot of people, including technicists. None of us know how to install this solar equipment. We can only make sure that it won’t break during the disassembling.”
Lin Qiao rubbed her own chin as she said, “Yuan Tianxing should have thought about that. Other than the few people that he’s looking for, I think he might also bring some others.”
Lin Feng paused slightly, then spent a moment thinking. Indeed, Yuan Tianxing would think about those things. “How do you know that he’ll think about it? We haven’t discussed it before,” Lin Feng asked.
Lin Qiao looked at him and said, “Isn’t he one of the Deputy Chiefs of the Hades Base? How did he make it to that position if he can’t even think of these questions?”
Lin Feng couldn’t think of anything to say.
They roughly selected a few potential locations for the new base, after which, Lin Qiao made reports about some other areas. Then, they decided to wait until Yuan Tianxing came back before making the final decision.
At that point, Yuan Tianxing and the others, who were in Sea City Base, were a little frustrated, because they had learned that Li Zheng and his teammates were no longer in the base. They had gone out with an armed squad to carry out some kind of mission.
Li Zheng and his whole team went out, none of them staying in the base. Yuan Tianxing just couldn’t figure out what they were doing.
But soon, he made other decisions. Since Li Zheng and his people weren’t in the base, he decided to return with the others first. Furthermore, he needed to find some technicists.
