That night, Lin Qiao listed the names of the members of Qiu Lili’s battle group. Qiu Lili and Yun Meng would be leading the group together. Under their command were number zombie three, who was an ice-powered zombie king, the fire-powered zombie boy, earth-powered zombie number six, the metal-powered old man, the water-powered Keng-keng, and ice-powered Nan Jin. Their powers could deliver effective long-range attacks. Ten level-five zombies and twenty level-four zombies with various powers were also in the group.
After listing those names, Lin Qiao summoned Qiu Lili and Yun Meng, giving them the details about the rat nest.
“Tomorrow morning, you two lead the group to attack those rats with your full strength. Let’s see if your attacks will scare those rats away from our base,” Lin Qiao handed Qiu Lili the name list while speaking.
“Scare? Why don’t we destroy them all?” Qiu Lili asked. Those rats might cause big trouble for the base, so why not destroy them right now?
Lin Qiao shook her head and said, “You can’t destroy them. I told you to attack with your full strength and kill as many of them as possible. Still, those rats breed rapidly. How can you guarantee that they would all die? Even if there’s only one that escaped your attacks, there would soon be a new group of rats.”
Qiu Lili and Yun Meng didn’t know what exactly happened, neither did they understand how terrifying a giant rat group that covered thousands of acres could be. They thought they were just going to kill some big rats that could be destroyed by a puff of fire or some ice power.
Lin Qiao understood that the two girls were underestimating those rats. They were young, so they couldn’t see that far ahead at times. Those rats wouldn’t die out, not even if she put all the strength of her base in use against them. Lin Qiao was going to observe the rat group closely after she sent the spearhead battle group out against them. The more information she got, the better chance she would have of winning.
After the apocalypse, the magnetic field was disordered, so long-range missiles could no longer be launched accurately. A few missiles might not be able to destroy all the rats, but could take out about eighty percent of them.
But of course, the biggest problem was that All Beings Base didn’t have such powerful weapons for the time being.
Qiu Lili and Yun Meng glanced at each other silently.
Lin Qiao said, “You’ll see when you get there. As I’ve said, those mutated rats are at high-levels. A level-seven rat king might show up as well. You may be able to defeat the rat king face to face, but don’t forget how sneaky it can be. A level-seven rat can be very smart. I think, if it wanted to run, you guys… might not be able to catch it.”
The rat crowd would never die out unless the rat king died.
Hearing what Lin Qiao said, Yun Meng and Qiu Lili realized that the rat problem might be a little hard to deal with, and that the task would probably be dangerous.
“I wouldn’t send you two if I could do it myself,” Lin Qiao sighed.
Qiu Lili and Yun Meng both looked at her confusedly. Lin Qiao leaned gently against the back of her chair and put a hand on her belly casually.
“Alright, go! Leave early tomorrow. Be careful, or you might get hurt!” Lin Qiao said to the two girls.
“Alright!” Qiu Lili and Yun Meng turned and left.
After the two of them left, Lin Qiao stayed behind the desk and kept doing her work. Suddenly, she froze and palpitated with fear. However, that feeling soon faded away.
She stopped working and frowned with confusion. That feeling existed for a very short span of time, so she failed to grasp it to figure out how it was caused. She only sensitively felt that it was not a good sign.
She suddenly recalled that she had a similar feeling not long ago. Back then, it was way weaker than what she had just now. Later on, she heard about Lin Wenwen’s new superpower, and figured that the strange feeling was a sign for that.
What was it about this time? Did it mean that something else was going to happen soon?
Last time, Lin Qiao didn’t pay much attention to that strange feeling. But this time, it was too strong to be ignored. She thought for a moment, then summoned Shen Yujen and said to her, “Go and tell Wenwen to come here.”
“Now?” Shen Yujen glanced outside the window. It was already nine pm.
Lin Qiao nodded and replied, “Em, now.”
“Yes, ma’am,” Shen Yujen turned and left Lin Qiao’s office.
Mo Yan, who was staying in Lin Qiao’s space, had that same feeling as well. He abruptly opened his eyes, then sat up from the bed expressionlessly and pressed a hand on his heart. His beautiful face wore a serious look.
His heart had stopped beating and died long ago. But just now, he sensed a quick palpitation. That was how his body reacted to the coming crisis.
Was some special crisis happening?
That was the first thought that popped up in Mo Yan’s mind when he sat up.
Normally, zombies didn’t need sleep. Mo Yan had been in a strange condition currently though. He always closed his eyes to let his body rest when the female zombie was healing him. By doing that, he would fall in very shallow sleep.
He was the first zombie who was able to sleep!
Once he sat up, the female zombie opened the door from the outside and looked at him.
Lin Qiao sensed Mo Yan’s movements, but didn’t pay attention to the look on his face. Instead, she was waiting for Lin Wenwen to come to her office, so she could ask the latter if she had sensed anything strange lately.
After all, Lin Wenwen had a special power now.
Except for Lin Qiao and Mo Yan, all the other creatures like them had had that strange feeling.
The level-eight beasts in mountains or water and the few zombie emperors that were scattered across the world all opened their eyes at that very moment or froze with surprise.
Currently, no mutated plant in the country had broken into level-eight. Level-eight human beings didn’t have the sharp sensations as zombies or mutated beasts had. Therefore, as a level-eight man, Wu Chengyue didn’t feel anything.
In a foreign base, shrill alarms were heard from a series of geodesic measuring instruments.
The creatures that lived on the surface of the earth had no idea that the core of the earth had been quaking slightly. The Earth was slowly cracking and turning on the inside. Countless underground creatures that humans had never seen had been running desperately.
“Roarrrr!”
No one knew that a second apocalypse was arriving!
