Lin Qiao’ body was a little heavy, but she still went to the farm. While watching the other zombies working there, she folded her arms and rested her chin on a palm.

It’s only been two months. This is shocking!
Liu Jun stood beside her as she looked at her round belly.

Don’t ask any question. I’m not gonna answer it,
Lin Qiao gave her a cold glance, leaving the other a little speechless.
Lin Qiao pointed at the mountain nearby and said,
How about we turn the other side of that mountain into a military base? In the future, this area will become an important military place that no irrelevant people can have access to.

Before, quite some people in the base knew where the farm was. After the second explosion of the virus, Lin Qiao asked Liu Jun to tell all the others that the farm area had become a military base, and used that excuse to forbid irrelevant people from approaching.


Currently, the zombie army was growing larger and larger. Apart from Base Number Two, they needed to find another secret training ground for the zombie soldiers. The farm had already become a forbidden area for the common residents in the base, so they might as well turn the mountain straight into a zombie training ground.
After all, the farm work and the training could happen at the same time.
Liu Jun turned to look at the mountain, then nodded in agreement and said,
I get it.

Lin Qiao walked to the cabin, which was no longer the only cabin near the farm. A row of cabins had been built right next to it, behind which were a few treehouses. The scents of zombies lingered inside and around all the cabins and treehouses.
Currently, the farm had already expanded to tens of acres. One side of the mountain and the area at its base had been developed by the zombie farmers under the leadership of Liu Jun, Fox, and Keng-keng. They watered the soil daily with diluted lake water.
As a result, the infected soil was fixed. The zombies with water power and green power were responsible for the growth of the crops. Meanwhile, the zombies under level-three, who didn’t have superpowers, were responsible for weeding and turning the soil.
In the clearing before the cabins, Lin Qiao took out the fresh vegetables that Lu Tianyi harvested in her space, basket by basket. She had regained some of her energy, but still couldn’t enter her space. Thankfully, she could at least look inside her space and communicate with the zombies in there with her will power.
The farm work seemed to be going well with no problems, so Lin Qiao returned to Base Number Two and summoned the leaders of the zombie army in the conference room. Yun Meng, Qiu Lili, Xie Dong and the others came in. Each one of them silently glanced at Lin Qiao’s belly before finding themselves a seat.
In Base Number Two, almost everyone knew about Lin Qiao’s current condition. Lin Qiao wasn’t talking about it, but they were all curious about the father of the baby. Who was so capable that he even made Lin Qiao, the zombie, pregnant? Was he a zombie too?
After sitting down, they got rid of the weird thoughts in their minds as Lin Qiao asked Shen Yujen to spread the map on the table.


She picked up a stick and pointed at one spot on the map as she started talking.
We’ve been telling everyone that the farm is our military base to keep those commoners away. Now, I plan to turn it into an actual military base. The other side of the mountain will become the training ground of our soldiers. This will be our Military Base Number One. As for the second military base, I plan to build it near those underground creatures. An elite force will station there to keep a close eye on those creatures.

People immediately landed their eyes on the spot that Lin Qiao was pointing at.

Are you saying that we are now selecting some elites from the three regiments and sending them to this place?
Yun Meng asked.

Yes,
Lin Qiao nodded and said,
From here, a hundred miles in radius have become a dangerous zone. We don’t know how to deal with those underground creatures yet, so all we can do now is take precautions. Based on what we have learned, their moving range on the earth’s surface is limited, but they are able to go anywhere they want underground. Currently, we have found three entrances to the cave, parted about ten miles from each other. So, the next entry should be within ten miles from the existing three as well.

Lin Qiao drew a circle on the map with the stick and marked the moving range of those underground gorillas.
That area was less than seventy miles away from All Beings Base. More exits of the cave might emerge near the base soon. At the moment, no one could tell where the next exit would be. If it was by All Beings Base’s side, Lin Qiao would have to prepare for the worst-case scenario. If it turned out to be somewhere else, things would still be under control.
Qiu Lili hadn’t seen those creatures yet, so she asked curiously
You said that their moving range on the surface is limited. Why?

Lin Qiao looked at her and answered her question with a smile,
Because they are blind. They identify directions with the scents they leave behind. If they go too far away from their nest, their scents might fade in the wind. The wind on the surface is strong, so their scent can’t linger for long.


Oh, so specifically, they have trouble telling the directions, right?
Qiu Lili understood it.
Yun Meng furrowed her brows and said,
But, we don’t have enough soldiers yet. If we send a thousand there, we’ll only have less than two-thousand zombie soldiers left in the base. Will it affect the security of the base?



Lin Qiao waved her hand and said,
We don’t need to worry about the base for now. Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng are here anyway. The human army isn’t just for decoration. The base will be okay.

Hearing that, Yun Meng nodded and didn’t say anything else.

If we send over a zombie army, who’s gonna be there to keep them under control?
Qiu Lili asked. A level-seven zombie would need to go together with the thousand zombie soldiers to keep them under control. Qiu Lili glanced at Yun Meng while speaking. Currently, she and Yun Meng were the only two level-seven zombies in the base. Lin Kui was still in Lake Tai area, so Lin Qiao would have to pick one between the two girls.
Lin Qiao looked at Yun Meng.
I’ll go,
Yun Meng started talking before her,
I’m more familiar with those creatures.

Yun Meng was no longer a little girl, and had grown quite mature. She had always been composed and reliable, so she naturally matured faster than Qiu Lili.
Qiu Lili was powerful, but still was more like an innocent, simple-minded kid. About some important matters, she wasn’t as thoughtful as Yun Meng was.

Em, that’s what I thought,
Lin Qiao nodded and said,
But Lili, if you want to go out and have some fun, you can go. Don’t go too far away though.


Okay,
Qiu Lili nodded and said.
Lin Qiao thought for a moment, then turned to Xie Dong and said,
Step up training the new zombies. Huaxia Base and Sea City Base have become enemies. I think they’ll start a war very soon. We’ll be affected too by then. That’s inevitable.


Yes, ma’am,
Xie Dong nodded.
