It had been half a month since Teng was born. Lin Qiao absorbed energies every single night, but had only regained thirty percent of her power so far. She needed more time to recover.
She was able to launch effective attacks at the moment, but her thirty-percent filled energy couldn’t support her in a long-lasting battle. She didn’t plan to fight the battle by herself though, not against the three-thousand human soldiers at least.
Lin Qiao wrote down something on a piece of paper, then drew a map on the paper. After that, she pointed at the building where Sky Fire Base people were hiding and said, “They left a large troop here, but all the superpowered soldiers have been sent after our hunters. You might as well gather all the zombies in this area. First, send zombie leaders to block the way of their level-five superpowers possessors and stop them from returning to the building, then send the lower-leveled zombies to take this place down. Can you do that?”
Xie Dong looked at the map that she drew, then nodded and responded, “No problem!”
Lin Qiao nodded as she leaned against the back of her chair and said, “Go!”
After Xie Dong left, she habitually glanced at the baby who was lying on the couch. Teng had fallen asleep again. He fell asleep easily, no matter how noisy the environment was.
…
The building that was located fifty miles away from All Beings Base used to be a five-star hotel. It was a luxurious building, with a large underground parking lot. Since the apocalypse happened, the place hadn’t had many visitors. The surrounding plants had either died or mutated. The mutated vines covered the building, and the plants in the garden had been thriving.
Usually, a lot of zombies could be seen in that area. But at present, it was all quiet, without any traces of zombies.
In a room in that hotel building, a man was standing behind the window, smoking.
That was a thirty-two-year-old man named Huang Chengfeng; he was the director of the plan this time. He had thick eyebrows, large eyes, and thin lips that were pressed together into a straight line. The features of his face gave out a wild presence.
Huang Chengfeng had an average height. However, his muscles, that had his camouflage suit filled up, created a vibe of strength.
He reached the cigarette out of the window and flicked it.
“Boss, we didn’t find those two women.” One of his subordinates, who was also in a camouflage suit, walked in and said.
On hearing that, Huang Chengfeng furrowed his eyebrows while the vibe that radiated from him grew frosty cold.
“You are useless,” he snorted coldly and said, “You can’t even catch two women.”
“They are both at level-five…” The man tried to explain.
Huang Chengfeng interrupted him coldly, “You caught one of them but let her get away. How do you explain that? Did you take her lightly because she was a woman? You think the women who have the guts to come out of the base to hunt zombies are easy to deal with?”
The man dropped his head and stayed silent.
Huang Chengfeng angrily threw away the cigarette in his hand as he clicked his tongue and continued, “Those are two good-looking women. They could help us quench our thirst, yet you let them get away!”
Huang Chengfeng and his people rarely had a chance to touch the bodies of women. When they heard there were two young women among their targets, they had grown that kind of intention.
However, they didn’t manage to capture them.
After a short silence, Huang Chengfeng asked the man, “When will the first batch of captives be brought back to us?”
“They are on their way back already,” said the man.
Huang Chengfeng was so angry that his lungs even ached. “I know that they’re on their way back already! Where else could they possibly be? Would they stay where they were until the next spring? I want to know how far away they are now from us, and when will they get here!”
“Oh, about ten miles. They’ll be here in around twenty minutes,” the man responded immediately.
“Alright,” Huang Chengfeng immediately waved a hand and signaled him to leave. “Send your people to their aid. Don’t let any accidents happen. Keep a close eye on those captives, especially the ones from those two women’s teams. I’m expecting them to come and try to rescue their friends.” While speaking, he wore a cold and wicked smile.
They ran away? It was fine. Their teammates were captured, and Huang Chengfeng was sure that they would try to rescue them.
At that moment, a soldier who was standing guard on the roof abruptly put down his telescope with a confused look. After putting the telescope back before his eyes and taking a glance through it, he waved at his comrade who was standing near him and asked the latter to come to him.
“Sam, come here!”
The other soldier, who was about ten meters away from him, turned and gave him a glance, then asked habitually, “What’s wrong?” While speaking, he turned and walked over.
The soldier with the telescope said to him, “Come here and take a look. I think I saw something five-hundred meters away.”
The soldier who looked where his telescope was pointing at but didn’t see anything. The distance was rather far after all.
“What did you see?”
The soldier with the telescope handed it to him, then pointed at one direction and said, “Look, over there, about five hundred meters away, near the bar.”
The other soldier saw a green street through the telescope. The bordering trees on both sides of the street had mutated, and on the sides of the street were stores and bars. However, he saw nothing apart from those thriving trees and the buildings that could be seen through the spaces between the leaves.
“What? What did you see?” He asked with confusion.
“Look carefully!”
The other soldier took another glance. This time, he spotted some shambling figures on the street through the spaces between the leaves. Judging by the weird movements and twisted limbs of those creatures, he clearly knew what they were. Those were zombies, and not human beings.
It wasn’t a strange thing to see zombies in the post-apocalyptic era. The strange thing was that those zombies were moving in ordered lines and approaching the hotel building like an army.
Each one of the people in the building was wearing the anti-zombie drug. And as they all gathered together, the smell that emitted from the drug grew stronger than usual. Half of the zombies nearby were cast away by that smell, and the other half were killed. So, it should be impossible for any zombie to approach the area.
“I’m going to tell Captain about this. You keep watching them!” The soldier quickly thrust the telescope into the other soldier’s hands as he left a few words and then left in a haste. The other soldier raised the telescope and observed carefully through it. He was right. A giant zombie crowd was approaching indeed.
Moreover, that zombie crowd was expanding. He had seen tens of zombies through the gaps between the leaves and buildings. What about those areas that he couldn’t see? How many zombies were there?
Soon, a familiar footstep sound was heard as his captain came up.
“Are they really coming here?” The captain took over the telescope and put it in front of his eye.
