Zombie Sister Strategy-Chapter 1424: Take the Last One
Chapter 1424: Take the Last One
Lin Qiao knew that Si Kongchen was able to sense any living being at a lower level than himself. She wouldn’t be able to hide from his radar if she were an ordinary level-eight zombie or human. However, she also remembered how she approached the level-nine monster in the underground world using her invisibility without being spotted. Based on that, she figured that Si Kongchen shouldn’t be able to detect her presence either.
She still stayed alert, though. She wasn’t sure if Si Kongchen would be unable to detect her presence like the level-nine monster or not, but she was eighty percent confident about it.
She hadn’t exited her space before, because first, she wanted Si Kongchen to think that she couldn’t escape under his watch, and second, she was waiting for things to change on the outside.
There was a reason why she had been staying so calmly in her space. In other people’s eyes, she was stuck, but in fact, she was waiting for the underground world to change. She couldn’t foresee the future like Lin Wenwen, but she could sense things from what she had seen. She had always been insightful.
In the underground world, she had seen the energy inside the level-nine monster’s body transforming speedily. That was the reason why the monster had been eating a lot. It needed the blood, flesh, and energy of those level-eight creatures to replenish its own energy.
The energy inside the monster’s body wasn’t the same as the energy on top of the underground space. It was turning into another kind of energy in the creature’s body. The level-nine creature’s energy was more dangerous than the energy in the underground space, and it was able to suppress the underground energy firmly. For that very reason, the monster was ruling the underground world.
When Lin Qiao approached the monster, she had, with surprise, discovered that she was able to read the monster’s mind. It wasn’t smart; actually, it was less smart than the level-eight ones. However, it had horrifying wild instincts. That was why the level-eight ones were afraid of it.
She could read the monster’s mind but hadn’t really understood what it was thinking at first. Only when she noticed the creature raise its head to look up from time to time did she guessits thoughts.
It probably wouldn’t stay underground for long.
Later on, she came back to the earth’s surface and saw the underground creatures gather together. At that time, she guessed that they weren’t gathering only for the upgrading.
That was actually a special ceremony.
By connecting the behaviors of the level-nine creature and the underground creatures on the earth’s surface, Lin Qiao had figured that the big one would soon come out from the underground.
The timing was perfect, and Si Kongchen would be dealing with it. As she had said before, the level-nine creature was waiting for him. Since he wasn’t willing to go and face it, Lin Qiao decided to guide the monster to him.
She headed quickly toward the inner sector of Huaxia Base and soon found what she was looking for.
She knew that Si Kongchen had quite a few underground labs, some of which were built inside Huaxia Base. She remembered that one of them was located near the center of Huaxia Base. She didn’t know what it was for, but since it was right near the base center, it must be very important.
She came to Huaxia Base to give Si Kongchen trouble. She had failed to kill Si Kongchen, but she wasn’t willing to leave just so easily. So before leaving, she decided to destroy another underground lab of Si Kongchen. Hopefully, the man wouldn’t mind.
At that time, Si Kongchen was still standing on top of the building. Wei Haichao and Han Xiao were standing in front of him, reporting to him about the most recent moves of the underground creatures outside the base, and the result of the background check about All Beings Base people.
“The nearest hole is thirty miles away from us. The mist travels about a thousand and two-hundred meters every day, so it’ll come to our base in less than a month. Currently, nothing can stop it from spreading. What should we do in a month?” Wei Haichao looked at Si Kongchen and asked.
“Haven’t we been producing gas masks urgently?” Si Kongchen asked.
“We can’t possibly make over a million gas masks in just a month!” Han Xiao joined the conversation.
Huaxia Base used to have about two million residents, but half of them died during the second explosion of the virus. Currently, the population of Huaxia Base had reduced to a million and two-hundred-thousand, while Sea City Base had only about seven-hundred-thousand residents left.
At present, the total population of the country was less than three million.
“Don’t we have two-hundred-thousand finished products already? We still have a month. There’ll be nothing we can do if the gas masks are still not enough in a month. The ones who won’t have gas masks will have to blame their bad luck,” Si Kongchen said blandly and then asked, “Have you found out if those All Beings Base people are humans or zombies?”
On hearing that question, Wei Haichao turned to Han Xiao. He was also curious about the answer to that question.
“We didn’t find anything about the two girls,” Han Xiao knitted his brows slightly, saying, “But I managed to identify the man named Lin Kui. He is the level-seven zombie that was stolen from our base at the beginning of last year.”
His words made Si Kongchen, and Wei Haichao pop their eyes. “Him? It’s him! The woman took him away…” said Si Kongchen, “How come he’s become like a human being? The two girls are suspicious too. You can’t find a thing about them. It doesn’t mean that they’re humans. Actually, I think it’s more likely that they’re not humans!”
Wei Haichao looked at Han Xiao with surprise, saying, “No way! Is he the zombie with animal power? He looks completely different!”
“It’s him,” Han Xiao nodded and said, “He showed up by the woman’s side soon after he disappeared from our base. Thankfully, we still have some of our men in Sea City Base. They risked their lives to get that information.”
Si Kongchen snorted coldly and then turned where Lin Qiao was before, saying, “I think they’re all zombies! He can’t be the only zombie around her! No wonder her base used to be surrounded by zombies, and those zombies never attacked the people in the base. They were clearly under control!”
Wei Haichao looked at Han Xiao and said, “Are you really sure Lin Kui is that zombie? Your men managed to identify Lin Kui, but why can’t they find any information about the others?”
Han Xiao turned to him and said, “You think finding information about them is easy? The man found out that Lin Kui is the zombie stolen from us by chance. That was pure luck! My other men weren’t as lucky as he is! This Lin Kui is enough to prove how unusual the woman’s people are.”
“You’re right. The woman might have a large number of high-leveled zombies in her base. I wonder how she changed those zombies’ appearances… Oh, hasn’t the woman died once?” The bland look in Si Kongchen’s eyes suddenly changed.
