Lin Qiao turned back to say to Viney,
Alright, I’ll go out and try to catch you a big zombie, or find you some nuclei of mutant plants.
Hearing that, Viney happily responded, ‘Alright, alright, Mama, help me upgrade quickly… I want to go out, go out!’
Do you want to go out?
Lin Qiao asked her with surprise.
Viney waved her vines and said, ‘Yes, yes
!’
Lin Qiao nodded. It seemed that Viney had gotten bored in here.
Alright, after I have finished my job here, I’ll take you to find energy nuclei,
she said.
‘Great, great
!’ Viney excitedly swayed her vines.
Lin Qiao asked Viney to unwrap her, then walked to Qiu Lili and said,
We have arrived at our destination. Let’s go out to arrange the works, and also choose your rooms.
Qiu Lili and Liu Jun quickly stood up. Seeing that Lin Qiao was going to send them out, Mengmeng, who had been hiding in the woods, ran out as well. Lin Qiao sent the three of them out first, then returned to bring out zombie one to seven.
In the end, only Shen Yujen was left in the space.
On the roof, Lin Qiao said to the group of zombies,
I’ve told the others that the roof and the top-floor is our territory. You can pick your own rooms, but shouldn’t go down to the other floors unless you have permission from Lili or me. Do you understand?
After saying that to zombie one to seven, she stared at Mengmeng, who had sneaked to the edge of the roof and was now looking down, and continued,
And you, get back here and listen to me carefully.
Mengmeng was leaning against the guardrail, curiously observing the area around the hotel building. As she finished observing this side and was prepared to go to the other side, she heard Lin Qiao call her name.
Roar…
She reluctantly walked to Lin Qiao. ‘Alright.’
Then, Lin Qiao said to Qiu Lili,
After I leave, you and Mengmeng can’t leave this area together. A high-level one should always stay here… Do you understand?
Qiu Lili nodded and said,
I understand. I’ll go downstairs to pick my room then.
While speaking, she turned and went down, her long twin-tails fluttering in the air. Liu Jun carried Tongtong and silently went down as well as she wasn’t needed here.
Now, you need to memorize the scents of the human beings in this building, then drive all the zombies around to two miles away. After that, you need to gather them up and block all the entrances. This place is your territory, so you need to guard it. Do you understand?
she said to the eight zombies.
Roar…
The group of zombie leaders replied. ‘Understood.’
Lin Qiao then continued,
Kill all zombies above level-three and give me their nuclei. If you can’t defeat the enemies alone, don’t forget to ask the nearest friend to help. You’re a team now, and you should learn to help each other. Do you understand?
Roar…
The group of zombie leaders who were all used to taking actions alone responded to that unwillingly. ‘Alright…’
Move,
Lin Qiao waved a hand at them and said. With that, the five zombie leaders and two superpowered zombies leaped off the roof in seven different directions, soon disappearing from Lin Qiao’s sight.
Only Mengmeng stayed on the roof, looking around.
Get down to pick your room,
Lin Qiao said and guided her down through the stairs. They followed Qiu Lili’s scent to a room. After walking in, they saw Qiu Lili standing in the middle of the room, waving her arms to gather the dust in the room into a sphere with her wind power.
Liu Jun wasn’t here, but Lin Qiao knew that she and Tong Tong were in the room next door.
After Qiu Lili had sent the dust out of the window and created a gust of wind to blow it away, she turned back to find Mengmeng rolling on the bed she liked.
Ah! That bed is mine! You got your scent on it! Get off!
Seeing Mengmeng’s movements, Qiu Lili immediately burst in screams. She flipped her long twin-tails and rushed to the bed, violently kicking Mengmeng away.
Mengmeng swiftly rolled off the bed, then stuck her head out from behind the bed and roared,
Roar… roar…
‘I want to share a room with you!’
Qiu Lili strongly refused. She popped her eyes and said,
Why share a room with me? There’s only one bed here. Go to another room.
However, Mengmeng quickly crawled under the bed.
Roar…
‘No.’
Lin Qiao looked at them; clearly, Mengmeng wanted to stay around Qiu Lili.
‘I’ll be leaving here for Sea City Base soon, also to find energy nuclei for Viney on my way back. You keep an eye on this place. Don’t let strangers come mess around,
Lin Qiao stood before the door and said, then turned and prepared to leave.
Qiu Lili was bending over to drag Mengmeng out from under the bed. Hearing Lin Qiao’s words, she straightened her body.
Eh? For Viney? Is she upgrading again?
Lin Qiao walked to the door while replying,
It seems that she really wants to come out.
After saying that, she left the room.
She turned and walked into Liu Jun’s room, which was next to Qiu Lili’s. Liu Jun put Tong Tong on the empty place before the door while she was cleaning the dust and garbage in the room.
I’m heading back to Sea City Base now. If you and Tong Tong need any help, go find Lili,
Lin Qiao said to her.
Liu Jun stopped turning the old quilt on the bed, then stood straight and asked Lin Qiao,
Is Viney trying to get out? She’s bored in there, isn’t she?
Lin Qiao leaned against the door frame and nodded,
Perhaps.
I get it,
Liu Jun nodded and responded. After that, she looked at Lin Qiao as if she had suddenly thought of something, and asked,
Also, I want to know why you left Wenwen in Sea City Base. Too many people are in the base, good and evil. What if she encounters any trouble? You aren’t there at the moment.
I didn’t leave her there,
said Lin Qiao,
She insisted on staying. She didn’t want to come with me, and I can’t make her, can I? I respect her decision. Besides, Yuan Tianxing is there too, isn’t he? He won’t let anything happen to her.
She had recently noticed the way Lin Wenwen looked at Yuan Tianxing. Making those two a couple didn’t seem to be a bad thing at all. Lin Qiao believed that letting her little sister be together with one of her previous subordinates, whom she knew very well, was way better than handling her to one of the other men that she didn’t know. After all, men could be very dangerous in the post-apocalyptic era.
Liu Jun shook her head and said with concern,
I doubt that. The situation in that base has already started to become unstable. If someone has his eyes on Wenwen, not even Deputy Chief Yuan can guarantee her safety.
Lin Qiao blinked, then said,
Don’t worry! Wu Chengyue is still in that base during these couple of days, so those people won’t dare to make any move. Besides, I did plan to go back straight after arriving at this place. It’s only about two hours of driving, so even if I spend half an hour on my way to find an energy nucleus for Viney, I’ll be back in Sea City Base by tomorrow. They can’t do anything serious within such a short time. Xiao Yunlong and the others will leave later.
Liu Jun thought for a moment, then nodded and said,
You’re right though. It’s only one night. I believe those people won’t take action so soon.
