Zombie Sister Strategy

Lin Qiao asked Teng what he had talked about with the creature, and the boy responded to her with a chuckle, “I asked it what it is, and it said it doesn’t know. Then, I asked it why it’s here, and it said it came out because its home broke.”

“Broke?” Lin Qiao looked at him with confusion. What did he mean by ‘broke’?

Teng turned and glanced at the creature again, saying, “I think it likes me! I’m sensing its joy.”

Lin Qiao looked at him curiously and said, “I can’t believe that you actually can talk to it. How amazing is this! Ask it if it can go back underground.”

“No,” Teng shook his head without even asking the question, “It just told me that its home was broken, meaning that place is no longer suitable for it to live in. That’s why it left.”

Lin Qiao supported the boy’s little butt with an arm as she turned to look at the creature while asking, “What should we do now then? Can you tell it to leave? If it can’t go back to the underground space, it can go somewhere else.”

Teng thought for a moment and said, “Why do we want it to leave? I think it can stay around here. It won’t do anything bad to human bases as long as we don’t provoke it. I don’t think it’s interested in humans.”

The creature already considered the area as its territory. It certainly wasn’t willing to leave.

Teng believed it would be fine letting it stay around, as long as it didn’t hurt humans. It didn’t seem to have an interest in feeding on humans. Ever since it showed up in Huaxia Base’s territory, it had only been attacking Si Kongchen alone. It had never assaulted any other humans nor eaten them.

Lin Qiao and Teng didn’t smell human blood from its mouth, only the blood of many other living beings.

“It’s not interested in humans? But it’s attacking Huaxia Base now,” said Lin Qiao.

Teng shook his head and said, “No, it doesn’t care about other people. It only wants the level-nine guy. It’s interested in his nucleus. That’s a level-nine nucleus after all.”

He turned to glance at Si Kongchen and the others as he spoke. After that, he turned back and continued, “Plus, I’m here. I think I can negotiate with it, and it’ll agree to my request.”

Lin Qiao glanced at the creature, which was staying perfectly still, and asked Teng, “What will you be negotiating with it about?”

“I’m going to ask him to stay away from human bases, of course! It’s such a big world. It can go anywhere it wants!” Teng said to her with confidence.

“Will it listen to you? Will it leave just because you ask it to?” Lin Qiao glanced at Teng with doubts, wondering where the boy’s confidence came from. She doubted that the boy could really convince the monster to leave.

Teng gave her a mysterious smile, looking at her proudly with a pair of sparkling eyes while saying smilingly, “Mama, haven’t you heard about tricking someone into something? Well, in a good way, you can also call it persuasion.”

Lin Qiao paused briefly, looking at the boy with disbelief.

‘So, are you going to trick it into leaving? Kids shouldn’t lie! Emm, but I think you can give it a try if you think you can really convince it,‘ Lin Qiao thought. She believed that her son was well aware of what was the right thing to do.

As Teng was preparing to talk the monster away from the base, an immense beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, striking straight at the enormous creature. The light contained the scorching energy coming from the sun.

“Watch out!” Wu Chengyue, who had been keeping a close eye on the monster, Lin Qiao, and Teng, burst in a shout and lunged at them.

No one was expecting the light beam. The level-nine creature reacted the first. However, instead of dodging immediately, it swung its tail sideways and sent Lin Qiao and Teng flying away.

Boom! The solar-power beam, which was about ten meters in diameter, landed directly on the creature’s body.

“Roar!” The creature rolled downward under the strike and automatically gave a raging roar.

“Eh!”

“Eh!”

“Eh!”

Wu Chengyue, who was rushing toward his wife and son, and Lin Qiao and Teng, who were sent away by the monster’s tail and were about to enter the space, all coughed blood.

“Who fired the cannons!” After giving a start, Wei Haichao asked the question with anger.

“The operators are all under his command. We can’t control the cannons without his permission,” said Han Xiao calmly. He was talking about Si Kongchen.

The cannons had been charging the whole time before, and it didn’t stop after Wu Chengyue and the others showed up. It was reasonable that the second strike was launched at that moment. Si Kongchen would love to see either Wu Chengyue or the monster get injured.

Wei Haichao’s face grew sullen as soon as he heard Han Xiao’s words.

The enormous creature had quieted down just now, but the strike agitated it again. It would launch a new series of destructive attacks to revenge, he assumed.

“Roar!” The creature rolled in the air and fell for hundreds of meters before turning and rising back up into the sky as it uttered a series of wrathful roars. The sound wave swept across the land like the tidewater.

“Pah…” Before long, Wei Haichao and the others who stayed on the ground all started vomiting blood. It wasn’t the first time they vomited blood under the monster’s roars.

“Don’t run! Si Kongchen, where do you think you’re going?” A resonant voice was heard. On hearing that voice, people found Si Kongchen disappeared from where he was, heading outside the base speedily.

It was Lan Lu who gave that shout. He suffered the least effect from the beast’s roar, because his mind power had improved drastically after breaking into level-nine.

He darted out from where he was as he let out his sound. Moving by his side was another level-nine man.

“Xiaowei, follow me! Let’s kill that b*stard! Don’t let him get away!” Lan Lu shouted at Dong Xiaowei while chasing Si Konchen.

Dong Xiaowei’s body flashed across the air as he sped up. Soon, he surpassed Lan Lu and disappeared in the latter’s sight. Lan Lu’s power had broken into a new level, and his mind had grown super-strong, but his body stayed weak and fragile. So currently, all he could do was to watch someone else chas Si Kongchen.

He didn’t really need to be anxious, because his spirit power had already caught Si Kongchen.

He was able to affect his target’s mind as long as his target was less than a thousand miles from him.

“Ah!” As Lan Lu had expected, Si Kongchen suddenly froze and fell from the air not long after he started running. The beast had made him cough blood a few times; both his body and mind had been weakened largely. Therefore, under Lan Lu’s spirit attack, he suddenly collapsed.
