While he was thinking about Lin Qiao’s purpose, she stood up and walked to him. Seeing that, he couldn’t help but look at her vigilantly.
“Alright, we’re done talking. Let me send you back.” Lin Qiao walked up to him and said, then put a hand on his shoulder.
Leng Xuantong looked at her with both vigilance and confusion. The moment she touched him, his eyes were dazzled again, and then he was back in his flat.
“You can find me in the base near Sea City Base, if you need,” Lin Qiao left him a few words, and then disappeared before his face.
Leng Xuantong gave a start. He quickly looked around and even took a circle in the living room, but didn’t see a trace of that woman. At that moment, Lin Qiao had already leaped out of Leng Xuantong’s balcony and hopped onto the roof of the building.
She glanced at the sky; it was already dark. The strong cold wind fluttered her coat.
Even though it was already dark, the snow reflected the lights and illuminated the whole area. It looked no different in Lin Qiao’s eyes though.
She turned and prepared to head back to the institute and get that zombie out. She didn’t care what the grand meeting would become after that. That zombie was her sole target anyway.
Based on her observation, that zombie had already met her criterion. However, she still needed to do some further observation after getting him out of that research room.
But, she suddenly stopped moving, then turned around and gazed outside the base where she came from.
Those vibes…
She had sensed a few vibes from that area. Instantly, she turned and flashed toward the outside.
Earlier on when she was in Earth Dragon Base, she actually forgot about those people!
At that moment, Li Zheng, his team, and Xie Dong and the zombie squad under his command were surrounded by a large group of teeth-baring, fierce-looking, big roe deers.
“Damn! Since when did roe deers become so fierce! Those teeth can tear flesh, can’t they?” Lin Yu stood back to back with the others and vigilantly stared at those calf-sized roe deers.
In his memory, roe deers were silly and curious, with large eyes. But, those scary-looking, sharp-toothed creatures which were drooling at him and his friends were nothing like that!
Thankfully, that group of people was not weak. Most of them were at level-two or three, so they didn’t end up being eaten by those roe deers, and only fell into an embarrassing situation.
After all, there were too many roe deers!
“There’s too many of them! If this goes on, our energies will all be consumed up. We can’t stay like this!” said Li Zheng with a serious look.
They were facing over ten-thousand roe deers, which were all fast. They would pounce on those people once they had a chance, and it was hard to defend against them.
Fortunately, Li Zheng had ice power. Under the current weather condition, he only needed to consume a very small amount of energy. Therefore, his superpower lasted longer than the others. They had been stuck here for quite a long time. In fact, none of them could release their powers anymore. By now, they were only pointing their guns at those roe deers. However, their bullets were limited, so they didn’t dare to waste a single one.
At that moment, two large roe deers suddenly dashed out of the crowd, widely opening their mouth as they pounced on them.
Li Zheng immediately turned around. However, before he made a move, those roe deers were forced back. The ones who did that wasn’t his team, but Xie Dong and the other zombies who had surrounded them to protect them.
Roe deers had no interest in zombies, and only targeted Li Zheng and the other few living humans. Therefore, Xie Dong and his zombie squad surrounded the human squad to guard them.
“We’ve been stuck here for a day. I’m afraid that something bad might happen if we stay here for a longer time,” Feng Yuming glanced at the giant roe deer crowd which fixed their eyes on him and his friends. That made him very anxious.
While he was talking, seven or eight roe deers rushed out of the crowd at them, but Li Zheng and his people quickly shot them. Those injured and dead roe deers were soon eaten by the other roe deers, leaving puddles of blood and bones in the snowfield.
“That’s so cruel! They even fight each other over the corpses of the other deers!” Feng Yuming couldn’t even bear watching that.
“That’s what you care about now? Over there!” Lin Yu suddenly gave him a kick without even looking at him. Right after that, another fierce roe deer rushed at them.
“I think we might have cleared the road for Lu Zhuofeng’s motorcade. If we didn’t attract these roe deers over here, they would have certainly blocked his motorcade.” Lei Yao said abruptly with a deep voice.
“We had no choice. They’re stronger, and they outnumbered us. Facing these animals is easier than facing a level-eight superpowered man. I guess these roe deers didn’t only grow strong appetites and teeth, but also grew smarter, right?” said Lin Yu.
They had been stuck in that place for a whole day. They weren’t able to break out of the roe deer encirclement, and couldn’t kill all of them either. So, they were all heavy-hearted now.
“What should we do now? Lu Zhuofeng might have arrived at Huaxia Base long ago. How are we supposed to free ourselves?” Looking at the giant group of roe deers which were staring straight at them, the group of people didn’t dare to relax their vigilance at all.
It was dark now, and those animals’ movements were even more unpredictable.
As the group of people were desperate in the encirclement, a voice was suddenly heard from the sky, “Oh my, there’re over ten-thousand roe deers, right? These mutated animals breed really fast!”
Hearing that voice, Li Zheng and the others immediately wore a delighted look. They raised their heads to look at the source of that voice, then saw a dark and blurry figure standing on a branch of a tree.
Lin Qiao leaped off the tree and landed before those people. Meanwhile, she threw out a rope, letting them hold it before bringing all of them into her space.
She threw those people into the living room in that small building in her space, then said to them, “What on earth happened to you? Haven’t you asked around about the things over here? I can’t believe that you were actually surrounded by those fierce roe deers.”
“We fell into Lu Zhuofeng’s trap. He drove those roe deers to us,” Feng Yuming stepped forward and said angrily.
“We were careless,” said Li Zheng as he slightly lowered his head, looking a little upset.
They were specialized in gathering information, so they surely knew that mutated roe deers lived in this area with a surprising population. However, they never thought that Lu Zhuofeng would sneakily drive the roe deer group to them. He must have spotted some traces of them long ago, or he wouldn’t do something like that.
By doing that, he could possibly get them killed, and keep his own troop away from those roe deers as well.
