Zombie Sister Strategy-Chapter 1426: Clarify One Thing
Chapter 1426: Clarify One Thing
As Wu Chengyue decided to choose his wife and son over Sea City Base, which he founded single-handedly, Lin Feng and the others called a plenary meeting with the human residents who were still staying in All Beings Base.
Apart from the soldiers under the command of Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng, most of the members of the Three Months Hunters’ Group, which was led by Dong Xinxin, also stayed in the base. The people from the other hunters’ groups that joined the base together with Three Months Hunters’ Group had all been sent back to Sea City Base along with the commoners. However, Dong Xinxin and her people refused to leave. They had only sent some families, who weren’t capable of fighting, to Sea City Base.
On the square in the inner sector of the base, the corps led by Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing were standing on one side orderly. In the middle of the square were the new corps that had joined the base less than three months ago. Standing on the other side of the square were Dong Xinxin, her people, and the other residents who were able to fight and weren’t willing to take the shelter in the Sea City Base.
“What are they doing? Why did they suddenly summon all of us? Aren’t we gonna do anything about those creatures out there?” Among Dong Xinxin’s people, Luo Yuanjun was the first to start asking questions. Because of his dark skin, his handsome face now looked much more manly than before. As he spoke, his bright eyes rolled from side to side.
Deng Chenfei and Dong Lijia turned to Dong Xinxin together.
Dong Xinxin shrugged and said, “Why are you guys looking at me? How am I supposed to know what’s going on?”
Dong Lijia looked from side to side with his eyes narrowed and mouth corners twisted in a small smile. The others couldn’t tell if he were really smiling or not. He looked around and said, “They’re not going to ask us to leave, are they? Do you guys remember what Wenwen had said to us when we first came here?”
Being reminded by him, Dong Xinxin immediately recalled Lin Wenwen’s words. She had said that they might need to choose between staying and leaving at some point, and that if they chose to leave, she would hope that they wouldn’t see her and her people as enemies.
“Is that so?” Dong Xinxin looked at Lin Feng and the others, saying, “They’re here.”
At that moment, Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing walked onto the podium. Following behind them were Li Zheng, Lin Wenwen, Chen Yuting, Du Yuanxing, and the others.
Standing on the podium, Lin Feng expressionlessly glanced at the thousands of people on the scene and started talking loudly, “Don’t worry! Even though you are all here, we still have some other people guarding the base against those underground creatures out there. Those creatures won’t be able to rush into our base for the time being. Today, we called you together to clarify one thing. A small number of you have already known about it, but most of you haven’t.”
After saying that, he paused briefly to give people some time to process his words and prepare themselves mentally for what he was about to say. The small part of the people that he mentioned included Qin Yu, her partner Sun Lunan, Dou Yunfan, and Jiang Anan, Lin Jing, and some others.
On hearing his words, Dong Xinxin and Dong Lijia glanced at each other, and both had comprehension dawning on their faces.
“You were never informed about what Base Number Two is like and what’s in there, and why you are forbidden from approaching that area. I am going to give you the answers now, because even if I don’t do that today, you’ll probably hear about it soon.” In a military suit, Lin Feng stood straight with his legs apart, his cape swaying slightly in the wind.
Under the brim of his hat, his eyes wore a cold and serious look. “I am now going to tell you why we forbade you from approaching Base Number Two,” he continued, “Without the residents in Base Number Two, this base could never have been built up. Without them, your life here wouldn’t have been so comfortable. However, they are not humans. In fact, some other people think that they are the enemies of humans.”
“Not humans?” The last part of Lin Feng’s speech successfully stirred the crowd on the scene.
Dong Xinxin and her people glanced at each other with confusion. “Not humans? Are they mutated animals? Or even zombies?” said Dong Xinxin.
“Wowoooo!” As people were making guesses, a dog bark was suddenly heard from a corner of the square.
People turned and saw a big black dog hopping onto a small building in that area, barking at the people in the square. “Wowowow! Wowoooooo! Wooooo!”
Lin Feng and his people felt utterly speechless. Dong Xinxin and her people shared the same feelings. Many of the people on the scene were stunned for a moment.
Noticing the people on the scene show comprehension on their faces, Lin Feng and his people had their mouth corners twitching.
“No way… Do they really have a bunch of mutated animals in this base?” said Dong Xinxin.
Once her voice faded, she saw a mutated snake quietly show up by the dog’s side. The black snake was even larger than the dog. Its body covered the entire roof. It coiled its body and reared up its head, quietly looking at the crowd of people, seeming like a creature who had lived for over a thousand years.
Lin raised a hand and slapped on his own head. Then, he hurriedly waved at the people to catch their attention, saying, “Um, to be clear, I wasn’t talking about them!”
Dong Xinxin and the other people turned back to him, feeling very puzzled.
Not them? Dong Xinxin almost believed that Base Number Two was a zoo of mutated animals!
There was nothing that Lin Feng and his people could do to Lin Qiao’s pets. After all, they only followed her words. As she wasn’t around, they were all free. Lin Feng had no idea how they sneaked into the base today and why they made noises while he was giving a speech.
“Seriously, what I’m trying to say is that Base Number Two isn’t a base for humans. In fact, you can often see the residents from there. After all, they wear military suits just like yours. The only difference is that they needed to have their eyes covered.” Speaking of military suits, Lin Feng turned to the army.
The people on the scene had already started growing nervous. Compared with the other residents, the well-trained soldiers stayed relatively calm. They weren’t saying anything, but some of them were exchanging glances with their comrades.
“Are you saying that the ones kept in Base Number Two are zombies?” Finally, one of the residents asked the question. The man said those words with a strong questioning tone. Also, he used the word ‘kept’, which didn’t sound friendly.
Once the man’s question was heard, people started talking to each other.
As Lin Feng had said, the residents in Base Number Two wore military suits but had their eyes covered. People could often see them patrolling in the base, all wearing sunglasses. They never took off their sunglasses, no matter what the weather was, and they never talked.
Realizing that they had been living in the same base with some zombies who pretended to be humans, and had never been informed about that, people couldn’t stay calm. After all, they could be eaten or infected at any time!
