“Don’t attack!” Xiao Licheng leaped off the car and carefully walked toward the zombie, who was standing there motionlessly.
“Captain!” Xiao Licheng’s subordinate called him with concern.
“It’s okay, don’t worry!” Xiao Licheng raised a hand and waved. He stopped three meters away from the zombie and looked at it quietly.
Xiao Licheng had no idea if the zombie was able to understand human language because he wasn’t one of those zombies who followed Miss. Lu around often.
“Roar…” The zombie roared at Xiao Licheng.
Xiao Licheng was confused. He didn’t speak zombie language!
As Xiao Licheng made no reaction, the wind-powered zombie roared again, “Roar…”
He wanted to get into the base! He knew that he couldn’t! The base was way too dangerous for him! However, if he couldn’t get it, he wouldn’t be able to deliver the message to Zombie Sister, and wouldn’t be able to accomplish his mission!
He had already waited for a whole day near the base. However, he never sensed the vibe that belonged to his boss.
As Xiao Licheng and his people came out of the base, the zombie sensed their familiar scents. They had been to his territory before, so the zombie figured that they might be able to help.
So, he stopped them.
He wanted the food… no, those humans to bring him into the dangerous base. However, he had no way of communicating with those people. The man before him seemed to fail to understand what he said, and he couldn’t understand his words either!
“Um… You’re from the new base in Upper City Base, aren’t you? Are you here for your Chief?” Xiao Licheng tried to ask the zombie some questions.
The zombie looked at him bewilderedly.
Level-four zombies were mostly as smart as eight-year-old human children. The wind-powered zombie confusedly looked at Xiao Licheng, as he couldn’t understand what he said.
…
In Huaxia Base, Wu Chengyue spent about an hour waiting. However, Lin Qiao never showed up. He wasn’t surprised; he knew that finding Lin Qiao would not be easy. She had always been traceless. She could find anyone she wanted, but it was never easy for the others to find her.
Wu Chengyue thought for a moment, then decided not to keep waiting, as he was worried that he might waste too much time. At last, he left Huaxia Base and soon found that Xiao Licheng and the others were stopped by someone.
“What’s going on?” Wu Chengyue abruptly landed by Moli’s side, looking at Xiao Licheng and the zombie.
“Oh, we think the zombie is from the new base in Upper City Base. We don’t know why he stopped us. Xiao Licheng is trying to communicate with him,” said Moli expressionlessly.
“That’s not one of those under Miss. Lu’s direct command. Can those two communicate?” Wu Chengyue looked at the zombie and asked.
Xiao Licheng and the zombie didn’t understand a word that each other said. The zombie’s confused look perfectly explained his situation.
Moli was right though. The zombie was probably there to deliver a message to Lin Qiao.
Why did he stop them then?
Wu Chengyue thought for a moment, then turned back and glanced at Huaxia Base.
“Does he want to get in? He doesn’t dare to try to enter the base, does it?” Wu Chengyue asked.
“How do you know?” Moli tilted her head and looked at him.
“Isn’t he here to deliver a message? The message is certainly for Miss. Lu. I guess she’s still hiding in the base, so this zombie wants to get in. However, this one is only at level-four, so it’s impossible for him to sneak into Huaxia Base,” said Wu Chengyue.
Moli looked at the zombie and said curiously, “So, he came to us… He isn’t trying to ask us for help, is he?”
“That is possible!” Wu Chengyue nodded and said.
As Wu Chengyue showed up, the wind-powered zombie became vigilant. He wasn’t worrying that the former might hurt him. Instead, the extra strong vibe from Wu Chengyue made him instinctively raise his vigilance.
Suddenly, the zombie came up with an idea. Wu Chengyue was super strong, and often visited his territory. So, since he couldn’t find his boss, why didn’t he ask him for help?
With that thought, the zombie abruptly lowered his head and searched through his pockets, then took out a piece of paper.
He, of course, didn’t dare to approach Wu Chengyue. However, he was able to approach Xiao Licheng, who was right before him.
“What on earth do you want? You…” Xiao Licheng was thinking about how to make the zombie move away so he and his people could keep going. But then, he saw the zombie rummage through his pockets and find a piece of paper.
Holding the paper, the zombie carefully walked toward Xiao Licheng.
Xiao Licheng looked at him. The zombie didn’t seem to have the intention of attacking. Besides, he was holding a piece of paper. ‘Is it for me?’ Xiao Licheng wondered.
He didn’t move, but watched the level-four zombie come closer, and then hand him the paper.
He took over the paper and spread it to read the note on it. Next, he had his expression changed. Quickly, he turned and walked to Wu Chengyue.
“Look.”
Wu Chengyue took over the piece of paper and read the note—’A zombie emperor is sieging the base. Come back ASAP.’
“A level-eight zombie!” Wu Chengyue wore a serious look. Then, he raised his head and said, “Get into the car. We’ll head back at our full speed!”
Xiao Licheng pointed at the zombie and asked, “What about him?”
Wu Chengyue prepared to say something. But, the zombie abruptly hopped onto a nearby building and then disappeared.
“He left.” Wu Chengyue turned and got into the car.
“But… I don’t think Miss. Lu has gotten the message,” said Xiao Licheng with hesitation.
“There is no time for that. Not even I can find a trace of hers. There’s no way for us to deliver the message to her. I’ll go back to deal with the zombie emperor. I’d like to know exactly how powerful a level-eight zombie can be.”
Wu Chengyue looked serious, but his eyes glowed with a trace of excitement.
Xiao Licheng didn’t say anything else, but got into the car. He soon started the car and drove it forward.
At that time, Lin Feng and the others seemed to be depressed in the All Beings Base.
“What on earth does he want?” said Lin Feng with a frown.
The zombie emperor had trapped them in the hotel, disabling them from leaving. Anyone who tried to leave would suffer attacks. Every single day, a few people would disobey the order and sneak out of the hotel. Each time that happened, a strong scent of blood would be sensed from the outside.
The zombie emperor never showed his face, and no one knew what his plan was.
“We don’t know if Chief can get the message. I hope she gets it in time,” Lin Feng sighed. Somehow, he felt that he and his people wouldn’t be able to survive this crisis.
Even though they had already sent out a lower-level zombie, the zombie was only at level-four, and was not so smart. It was impossible for him to sneak into Huaxia Base, so he would have no choice but to wait outside the base for Lin Qiao to find him.
If Lin Qiao never noticed him…
They hadn’t figured out the zombie emperor’s plan yet, so they couldn’t tell how much time they had.
“We’ll fight as hard as we can if there’s no other way,” Yun Meng’s eyes showed ferocity. She was aware that that was the last thing they could try. The chance of winning was way too low, so they could not act impulsively, unless they had no other choice.
