After waking up, Strong didn’t intend to take his herd to join the other underground creatures, nor did he plan to return to All Beings Base. He had already made a big concession by promising Lin Qiao not to attack humans. He would never go back to protect them.
At that time, a huge crowd of zombies had shown up around ten miles from All Beings base. Meanwhile, more and more zombies were still coming to the base from surrounding towns and cities.
The underground creatures, which had finished upgrading and gathered together again, had noticed those zombies. For the lower-leveled ones that weren’t picky for food, zombies were edible. However, the ones above level-five weren’t willing to eat stinky zombies. They found their taste awful!
They wanted to eat the ones living behind the tall walls, who walked upright. For the underground creatures, the living beings behind the walls were delicious.
Massive zombie crowds had shown up near Sea City Base as well. Wu Chengyue had borrowed two level-seven zombies and tens of level-six ones from All Beings Base, and those zombies had summoned a lot of wild zombies. Sea City used to be a densely-populated first-tier city, so without a doubt, huge numbers of zombies currently existed in the city.

Do you think these underground creatures will fly straight across those zombies into our base?
Standing on top of the fence wall, Qiu Lili looked outside the base and asked worryingly.
Lin Kui was standing straight beside her and looking where she was looking, wearing a military suit. Under the brim of his hat, his eyes were sparkling with a cold light. One would consider him as a very serious man without noticing his hand behind his back, which was fiddling with Qiu Lili’s long ponytail.

It’s hard to say. Those high-leveled ones are smart and strong. What you said can very likely happen if those zombies aren’t attractive enough to them. However, for the lower-leveled ones, it’ll be hard for them to contain their desire for food when they’re starving. You wouldn’t care much about the taste of food when you’re in extreme hunger. Instead, you’d find everything you can eat delicious.
Lin Kui believed there was a small chance for what Qiu Lili said to happen.
The lower-leveled underground creatures weren’t picky about food. They didn’t care about the taste. All they wanted was to fill their stomachs. After all, they were already starving; they would even eat earth right now if they could.
Unlike them, the high-leveled ones were smarter, with more complex thoughts and desires. They tended to look for more choices. Also, they were better at self-control.

You said the low-leveled ones won’t do that. So, will those high-leveled ones fly across the zombie crowd into our base?
Qiu Lili understood what Lin Kui meant.

I think Wenwen has come up with a great idea to help us keep most of those underground creatures outside our base,
Lin Kui nodded to her and said.
Qiu Lili nodded while saying,
Oh, but there are a lot of high-leveled ones. Will we be able to defeat them if they fly into our base?

Currently, not even one level-eight being existed in All Beings Base. The strongest ones in the base were at merely level-seven while the underground creatures had five level-eight ones on their side! That number did not include the level-eight ones near the other bases.
Among the six human bases in the country, only five level-eight people were known, including Lin Qiao, a fake human being. Of course, there were also two level-nine ones. That could be counted as a major breakthrough. However, the underground creatures had much more top-leveled ones on their side.
Lin Kui turned and gave Qiu Lili a mild smile as he said,
It’s okay. Wenwen said that we’ll be fine. She hasn’t foreseen any danger, meaning that our base will be safe.

Qiu Lili recalled Lin Wenwen’s special power.
Oh, right,
she said,
Wenwen can foresee dangers!

Those creatures surrounded the base as the level-eight ones each led over ten-thousand starving monsters, watching All Beings Base. In the west, very close to West Lake, a large group of underground creatures was crowding together, all looking ferocious. They had different looks, some like worms and some like the animals from the earth’s surface. Some were able to jump tens of meters high, and some weird insects could fly at low altitudes.
The level-eight creature leading them was an enormous one. It had a pair of sharp horns pointing straight at the sky, two rows of thorns on its back, and eight feet. It was about six meters tall, having a small pair of eyes and a huge mouth. Its teeth were sharp, and its long tongue was hanging on its jaw. The creature had a round head and a short nose. On both sides of its face were some scary-looking thorns.
It was lying upon a hill which was hundreds of meters tall, quietly looking at All Beings Base.
None of the other underground creatures dared to approach the hilltop. They gathered on the hillsides and around the hill foot, eating up all plants and animals on the hill. The hill was turned bare within a blink.
The same kind of scene could be seen in the other areas surrounding the base. The terrifying level-eight monsters were casting their eyes on the base, and under their leadership, those starving low-leveled creatures were even eating the earth.
In the base, the humans were prepared for the battle.
The same thing was happening in Huaxia Base as more and more underground creatures gathered around that base. After all, Huaxia Base had the largest population among all bases in the country. A dozen level-eight creatures had shown up near Huaxia Base. Led by them, huge herds of underground creatures were approaching the base like tidewater.
Si Kongchen had ordered Wei Haichao and the others to prepare the weapons designed for underground creatures. Lin Qiao had stolen only half of them, but the other half was hidden in a secret place by Si Kongchen. Now, those could be put into use.

Are you still going to wait for her? What about the outside?
Wei Haichao found Si Kongchen and asked. He was the only one who was capable of killing level-eight underground creatures. However, He couldn’t leave. He still needed to stay in the base to prevent Lin Qiao from causing more damages.
What if that woman took the opportunity to come out and cause more destruction to his base once he left?

Don’t worry! They can sense my vibe. They won’t dare to come in,
Si Kongchen wasn’t taking those underground creatures seriously. After all, his level-nine vibe was highly dangerous for those creatures, and those high-leveled underground creatures were smart enough to realize that.
