Zombie number two’s name was Yue Xiaoxian. That sounded like the name of a fairy, yet she didn’t look like a fairy at all. She looked more like a smart, naughty girl.
She found that those Huaxia Base people didn’t give out the nice aroma that all other living human beings had. They had no scents. She wouldn’t have discovered them if she didn’t see them.
As a result, her interest was aroused immediately. First if all, she wanted to figure out who those people were, then find out why their scents disappeared. As for her mission, that was not urgent anyway.
Both her and Liu Mingsong were able to sense Mo and Ye Qingxian’s locations because they were all zombies. They could also detect the scents of Lin Wenwen and Leng Xuantong.

Roar!
Yue Xiaoxian abruptly raised her head and gave a roar to warn Mo and Ye Qingxian about the enemies, and also to summon the surrounding zombies.



Eh? That sounded like a zombie roar. I think it’s close to us.
Huaxia Base people heard the roar from the vehicles and gave a start, then turned back to look outside the windows. However, no zombie was seen.
There seemed to be a distance between them and the zombie.

Is it coming at us? That’s impossible! The drug that we’re wearing is still effective,
someone said uncertainly.

I don’t know. It’s probably just passing by,
someone responded.
They believed that the drug they were wearing could perfectly keep themselves from being noticed by any zombies, so they assumed that the zombie that gave the roar was only a passerby, without paying too much attention to it.
On the other side, Mo and Ye Qingxian suddenly stopped moving. They took a glance backward, then made an eye-contact with each other. After that, Mo said to Lin Wenwen,
Chief has sent us help. Let’s go this way!


Who are they?
Lin Wenwen had her eyes glowing.

Not the strong ones,
Mo replied,
They’re two zombie leaders. They’re following behind the enemies. I think they’re going to cause those people some trouble.


Why did Chief send them? Did anything happen back in the base?
Leng Xuantong asked.
Not long ago, Lin Qiao sent someone to bring Lin Kui, who was secretly protecting Lin Wenwen and Leng Xuantong together with Mo and Ye Qingxian, back to the base. Why did she send two other zombies to them so soon? Did something bad happen in the base?


At the same time, Li Yueshan and his people were following the marks that Kong Qingming had left to reach him and Long Qingying. They weren’t moving in the same direction as Lin Wenwen and the others, so they didn’t hear Yue Xiaoxian’s roar.
After giving that roar, Yue Xiaoxian spent a short while observing the group of people, then said,
They’re heading toward Wenwen and the others. Are they chasing them?


Roar…
 ‘They have Huaxia Base’s marks on their vehicles.’

Liu Mingsong observed those vehicles and found the marks.

Huaxia Base? What are they doing here? Well, since they’re from Huaxia Base, I suppose they’re up to no good. Great, we don’t need to be polite to them!
Yue Xiaoxian curved her lips in a wicked smile. Under her sunglasses, her eyes glowed with a smart light.

These guys are from Huaxia Base, so we need to be careful of their weapons.
She continued with,
Don’t approach them just yet. Let’s harass them from a distance.

They were both zombie leaders. Each one of them was only able to summon a limited amount of zombies, but still, that would be a good way to consume the enemies’ ammo.
Yue Xiaoxian finished talking, then leaped off the building and swiftly took a detour to the head of the enemies’ motorcade. As she disappeared without a trace, Liu Mingsong headed toward the motorcade from another direction.
Huaxia Base people were still driving forward. Suddenly, the man standing on top of one of the vehicles furrowed his brows and started to pay attention to the surrounding environment.
Soon, he found the surrounding zombies, which were supposed to be ignoring him and his people, start moving toward their vehicles at a high speed. Those zombies weren’t running, but had been moving pretty quickly indeed, unlike how they shambled slowly during normal times.



What’s happening? Why are the zombies moving forward? Didn’t that zombie roar come from behind?
The man in the front seat noticed the weird situation too and murmured to himself with a frown.
A short while later, he and his people found more and more zombies nearby. Those zombies still paid no attention to them though. They kept moving forward, and many had moved before their vehicles and jammed the road.
As more and more zombies walked to the middle of the road and blocked the way, the people had no choice but to clear the road while moving forward.
Bang! Bang! Bang! They reached their guns out of the car windows or climbed on top of the cars to shoot at the zombies in the middle of the road.
The zombies kept moving forward. The ones who got shot in the heads fell to the ground, but that didn’t make the other zombies stop moving.
Shooting those zombies which would not attack them was pretty easy. However, after killing them, their cars would need to jolt across their dead bodies. That was very uncomfortable.
If that kept happening, they wouldn’t be able to speed up, and their targets might run away. So, they needed to figure out what had been gathering those zombies and deal with the problem for good.
The man on the car roof thought for a moment, then leaped off the car and hopped onto a utility pole nearby. Then, he leaped onto a building by the road and quickly moved forward. He intended to find out what exactly was attracting those zombies to that area.
At that very moment, a few tornadoes rose from the ground, blowing straight at their cars. The tornadoes rolled up the sand and some light objects, throwing them at those vehicles.

What’s going on? Tornadoes? There is a wind-powered zombie or human! Enemies!
Hearing the tornado roaring around them, Huaxia Base people immediately realized that a wind-powered being might be nearby.


The tornadoes stirred the air and raised the stones, sand, and leaves into the sky. The wind power wasn’t strong, but it wasn’t weak either. The tornadoes made the trees sway and blew off the leaves, yet did not uproot those trees.
However, for human beings, wind power was strong enough to disable them from even opening their eyes.
The Huaxia Base people immediately realized that they might be under attack from a wind-powered enemy, who obviously didn’t plan to show him or herself.

Roar…
At that point, the crowd of zombies, which had been paying no attention to them, suddenly bared their teeth and crazily charged at them.

I think it’s a wind-powered zombie.
Based on those zombies’ reaction, Huaxia Base people easily guessed out that a level-five or six zombies had been controlling them.
