Lin Qiao started focusing on finding solutions for the current situation of her base once she returned . After all, the secret of her base was no longer a secret . There was a lot of work for her to do . Therefore, she hadn’t heard about Wu Chengyue leaving Sea City Base yet . On hearing his words, she turned to look at Lin Feng, who was sitting beside her .
“What’s happened?”
“Wu is not leading Sea City Base anymore . He’s resigned,” said Lin Feng .
“Why?” Lin Qiao looked at Wu Chengyue with surprise . He was doing fine as a Chief of Sea City Base . Why did he resign?
Once she asked that question, all the others on the scene landed their eyes on her . Their meaning was pretty obvious .
Lin Qiao didn’t know what to say .
“Um… I don’t think this was necessary . You can stay as a Chief of Sea City Base . I think we won’t be affecting Sea City Base much . ” After staying silent for a few seconds, Lin Qiao finally spoke .
The most possible effect that might happen to Sea City Base because of the disclosure of All Beings Base’s secret would be related to its partnership with the latter . Sea City Base could simply end its partnership with All Beings Base to protect itself . It would be fine as long as it had nothing to do with All Beings Base .
Would Sea City Base people attempt to attack All Beings Base? Lin Qiao believed that would be impossible . All Beings Base was their source of food after all! Those people wouldn’t want to attack All Beings Base unless they stopped providing them with food .
“If I stayed in Sea City Base, I wouldn’t be able to come here to see you and Teng openly,” said Wu Chengyue with a smile, “It’d be meaningless being a Chief of the base if the base were to set boundaries for me, right? For me, my wife and children are more important than the base . Besides, I’m not what’s important for them either . Without me, they still have the base . They’ll still have food, a place to live, and Zou to take care of them . ”
All he wanted was to be with the zombie lady . He wouldn’t have the liberty to maintain a close relationship with Lin Qiao if he kept being a Chief of Sea City Base . He would have to give up on her under the pressure coming from the residents of Sea City Base .
He wouldn’t need to care about that if he were an arbitrary leader . However, he wasn’t a leader like that . On the contrary, he believed in democracy . Therefore, since he wasn’t able to convince all Sea City Base people to accept All Beings Base, he decided to give up on his base .
He didn’t care about power . He became a Chief because he was the strongest person in the base, and people wanted him to lead .
Lin Qiao gave him a glare silently . ‘Who’s your wife? I haven’t admitted that yet . Can you please mind your language?’
She didn’t feel like debating about that with him in front of all the other people . That was a personal issue, after all . Currently, the first priority was to deal with the problem that the base was facing .
“Thankfully, I’ve grown quite some catmint in my space, and I’ve brought back those black fruits . Those are still not enough, even though the human population of our base has dropped . I need to get back underground and find more of those fruits . Also, the level-nine creature likes strong opponents . If it comes out, it’ll first go for Si Kongchen or Dong Xiaowei . Therefore, we need to find a way to guide it to Huaxia Base, instead of letting it come at us . ” The news Xie Dong had brought back didn’t surprise Lin Qiao . She had foreseen all that and had been thinking about how to lead the level-nine creature to Si Kongchen since long ago .
As for the poisonous mist, she already had a solution . She still had some black fruits left in her space . The mixture of the black fruits, catmint, and her lake water could keep people from being affected by the underground energy mist . That formula had successfully worked on the people who had followed her to the underground world earlier .
It was Red who found the cure for her at first . The lake water from her space was able to boost the energy of the black fruit . Therefore, it would take only a slight amount of the fruit energy to protect one person from the underground energy . If even that didn’t work, she still had catmint .
So currently, All Beings Base only needed to face two real problems – Si Kongchen and the aftermath of the exposure of Lin Qiao’s zombie army .
“That hole has collapsed . We need to find another entrance to the underground space . ” After hearing Lin Qiao talk about going back down for more black fruits, Xie Dong provided a piece of important information .
“And we have to wait for those fruits to ripe,” Lin Qiao sighed .
“That can wait . The poisonous mist isn’t reaching our base so soon anyway . Even if it’s already here, we still wouldn’t need to worry about it, because we have the cure . So, let’s not worry about that now and talk about when that level-nine creature will come out . Also, you’ve really pissed Si Kongchen off this time . He might even decide to attack us before Sea City Base,” Lin Feng said while glancing at Lin Qiao .
His sister was such a trouble-maker!
Lin Qiao smiled and said calmly, “I wanted to piss him off . He can come to attack us if he has the guts . I’ve destroyed a lot of his weapons, so we don’t need to worry that our weapons might not be as good as his now . Besides, since we have already unveiled our secret, I intend to let the whole world know about it in the most direct way . I didn’t only want Si Kongchen to know that we’re not so easy to deal with, but also want the whole country to learn that . ”
Her zombie base was no longer a secret . The people who intended to give her trouble had to prepare themselves for the zombie army .
That was not Lin Qiao’s long-term plan though . Her base wouldn’t be able to depend on zombies forever . Human society was still developing rapidly . One day, humans might develop some lethal weapons against zombies, and by then, her base would be in severe danger .
That night, a wild level-nine vibe came up to the earth’s surface and spread tens of thousands of miles from its source . That was the strongest vibe that anyone had ever sensed .
“Roar!” The thunderous roar echoed through the sky . Si Kongchen, Dong Xiaowei, Lin Qiao, Wu Chengyue, Lan Lu, and all the other high-leveled humans or zombies received the monster’s challenge .
Yes, it came up to challenge them!
Its roar delivered a message, claiming that the entire land was its territory . All living beings on its territory must follow its order strictly!
As the earth-shaking roar was heard, the underground creatures near every human base all turned and ran toward the level-nine monster, leaving their prey behind .
“It’s here,” Lin Qiao stood on top of a building, looking where the roar came from . At the same time, all the others above level-seven put on serious looks as well, including Si Kongchen .
