Chapter 1414: The Hair of the Dog
They didn’t want to respond to Mo Yan’s absurd reasoning. As he had offered to help, they tried to be friendly to him. But still, they did not want to talk to him!
Qiu Lili turned her face away and showed Mo Yan the back of her head while saying, “It’s because I don’t have a good first impression of you!”
Mo Yan spread his hands carelessly, even a little proudly, while saying, “I was trying to be nice to you! Wasn’t that nice?”
“Alright, shut up! Don’t you forget that you were trying to attack our base!” Yun Meng glared at him and said.
Mo Yan tilted his head slightly and stopped talking.
“Alright, we have four zombie dominators here. Please, summon as many wild zombies as you can and bring them to the four gates of our base. We have to be ready before those underground creatures finish upgrading,” Lin Feng took the opportunity to make his request.
On the other side of the table, Yun Meng and the others stood up together.
“I’ll go to the southern gate,” said Yun Meng.
“I’m taking the north,” said Qiu Lili.
“West,” said Lin Kui.
“Oh, so I’ll take the east,” Mo Yan said with a grin.
Next, the four of them turned and left, heading toward the roof. On the roof, they each faced a gate and disappeared.
The area surrounding All Beings Base had been zombie-free since long ago. Therefore, they had to go at least ten miles away from the base to summon wild zombies. To gather a huge crowd, they needed to go even further away. By the time Sea City Base learned about All Beings Base’s action, large numbers of zombies were already gathering toward All Beings Base.
“Eh? Are they going to feed those zombies to those underground creatures? Can that be counted as the hair of the dog?” Xiao Licheng said with surprise.
Both zombies and underground creatures were arch-enemies of humans. Making them hurt each other was clearly a good thing for humans!
Kong Qingming nodded and said, “I think so. After all, we have over a billion zombies in this country. They should be enough to feed those creatures. At least, we’ll have a few years to think of a way to eliminate them!”
Wu Chengyue said with a smile, “It turns out that All Beings Base’s zombie army is rather handy! Shall we borrow a few level-seven zombies from them? Em… Or, level-six ones!”
“How come I feel like we’ve been taking advantage of All Beings Base the whole time recently? They’ve been providing us with food, catmint, and they’ve helped us to rescue Li Yue He… Em, their help wasn’t really needed for that task anyway. And now, we’re going to ask them for help again… Aren’t we going to make any efforts ourselves? We have so many people in our base after all,” Sitting on the side, Xiao Yunlong couldn’t help but share his opinion. The others on the scene didn’t know what to say. They thought for a moment and realized that he was right!
“Alright, let’s drop this topic. We can’t help now, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be able to help them in the future,” Wu Chengyue hurriedly changed the topic. With a smile, he continued with, “They and we are on the same side. At least, we can offer them some scientific help!”
While people were changing their plans because Si Kongchen had exposed his level-nine power, Lin Qiao was stealthily detecting the vibes outside from inside her space. Si Kongchen had hidden away, but she could still sense a faint trace of his vibe from inside her space. Judging by that, she was sure that he was waiting for her outside. Hence, she couldn’t exit her space any time soon.
With nothing else to do, she took a walk in the field.
Lu Tianyi, Xiao-xiao, Pesticide, and tens of other zombies at level three, four or five, were working hard growing catmint. Lin Qiao walked into the field and found Pesticide eating worms.
“How come you like worms so much?” She looked at the zombie and asked.
Pesticide raised his head to glance at her and then quietly turned to leave.
Lin Qiao felt utterly speechless. ‘Um… Can’t I have any respect?’ she thought.
Lu Tianyi walked over and said, “I’ve been wondering how his brain is structured too. He’s clearly nothing like the normal zombies.”
Lin Qiao turned and looked at the catmint plants in the field. Those were the first batch planted in her space. The special environment in the space allowed them to grow exceptionally fast. They were almost good for harvest, and they looked vividly green and energetic.
They were also perfectly clean.
“So, you said that you can’t go out now, but what about the base?” Lu Tianyi stood beside her and asked.
“What about the base?” Lin Qiao turned and glanced at him.
“The underground creature problem hasn’t been solved yet, has it? I heard that those creatures are all very smart. What if they found our base?” Lu Tianyi was worried about the base.
“Don’t worry,” said Lin Qiao, “Lin Feng and the others will guard the base. They’ll know what to do. And Wenwen, her power should have given her some hints under the current situation.”
Lin Wenwen was now like a fortune teller. She hadn’t foreseen All Beings Base’s destruction, meaning that the base would be fine.
Earlier, Lin Wenwen had foreseen Lin Qiao attacking her own base. Based on that, Lin Qiao figured that she herself would be the key threat to All Beings Base in the future. Therefore, she felt that maybe staying in Huaxia Base was a good thing for her. If she stayed there, it would be the enemy’s base to suffer when an accident happened to her!
Lu Tianyi looked at her and said, “You seem to believe firmly in their capabilities.”
Lin Qiao smiled at him and said, “Yes, of course! Apart from myself, they’re the only ones that I can trust.”
Those people had never disappointed her. The people who had disappointed her were already gone.
‘Poor Wu! He’s not one of them,’ Lu Tianyi thought.
“Do you think Si Kongchen will postpone his plan of attacking Sea City Base and All Beings Base for you?” After feeling sorry for Wu Chengyue, Lu Tianyi thought for a moment about the current situation.
“That’ll be even better,” said Lin Qiao, “As long as he stays here with me, the two bases will both be safe. If he left, I’d have to go out and find a way to stop him. Thankfully, we still have Dong Xiaowei. Saving him was really a good decision.”
She had foreseen Dong Xiaowei’s awakening. After all, her lake water had never failed to wake up crazy superpower possessors. It had even woken up Wu Chengyue, so it would, of course, wake up Dong Xiaowei as well. The efficacy of the lake water didn’t tend to vary according to the users’ power levels.
“Dong Xiaowei?” Lu Tianyi didn’t know who that was.
“The level-nine chief from Green Mountain Base,” said Lin Qiao.
Being reminded by Lin Qiao, Lu Tianyi recalled that he had indeed heard of that mysterious level-nine man named Dong Xiaowei.
