Zombie Sister Strategy

Chapter 1418: Huaxia’s Doubts

As the news was delivered, everyone braced themselves up, looking at the signaler. Seeing the man hand the message to Xiao Licheng, they couldn’t help but start to ask questions.

“How’s it going? Are they attracted by the zombies?” Xiao Yunlong was the first one to speak.

Xiao Licheng hurriedly took over the message and read it. After that, he sighed with relief and said, “They have stopped! They have stopped moving! The low-leveled ones didn’t cross the zombie crowd but started to attack and eat them!”

On hearing his words, everyone sighed with relief.

“Keep an eye on them and see if they’ll keep eating those zombies or make other moves. Also, initiate level-two alert!” Wu Chengyue gave his orders with composure.

“Yes, sir.”

All Beings Base was in the same situation as Sea City Base. Most of those underground creatures weren’t picky for food. While eating those slow-moving ordinary zombies that weren’t able to sense danger, they liked first to rip open their skulls and look for nuclei.

Five percent of ordinary zombies had nuclei, and ten percent of all ordinary zombies with nuclei could upgrade to level-one. The higher the levels, the harder the upgrade could be.

Even though upgrading was a very difficult thing for zombies, the gigantic population of zombies allowed a great number of high-leveled zombies to emerge. A medium-scale city usually had hundreds of thousands to millions of residents, while the first-tier cities had over ten-million people each. Ninety-nine percent of all humans had turned into zombies, so despite the difficulty of upgrading, many high-leveled zombies existed in the world.

Lin Qiao’s lake water had strengthened the zombie soldiers in All Beings Base. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to upgrade so easily. So far, none of them had failed in upgrading.

Knowing that the underground creatures were willing to eat zombies, the people in All Beings Base all felt relieved. Clearly, the method that Lin Wenwen came up with had shown a rather good effect. They were still not relaxed, though. They needed to keep observing those high-leveled creatures and find out if they would break through the zombie crowd to attack the base.

As the zombie defense lines of All Beings Base and Sea City Base started to show effects, Si Kongchen and some other Huaxia Base people realized that something wasn’t right.

Dong Xiaowei, who was in Sea City Base, hadn’t released his vibe, so the underground creatures near the base didn’t sense his presence. Nothing kept those creatures from approaching the base.

If Dong Xiaowei had let his vibe fully out, the underground creatures near Sea City Base wouldn’t have kept a distance from the base, like the ones near Huaxia Base. If that happened, Si Kongchen would soon figure out that there was a level-nine being in Sea City Base.

Si Kongchen didn’t yet know that there was a level-nine man in Sea City Base expecting him, but he did notice the weirdness of the zombies outside Sea City Base and All Beings Base.

Those zombie crowds looked very strange, nothing like the normal zombie crowds.

“Have those zombies been staying where they are these days? Aren’t they attacking All Beings Base and Sea City Base?” Standing on top of a building that was not far away from Lin Qiao, Si Kongchen turned and asked with a frown.

“No, those zombies didn’t go crazy. They’ve been staying exactly where they are. It seems like they’re feeding themselves to those underground creatures! Since when have level-seven zombies started to protect human bases? Aren’t they supposed to attack human bases?” Wei Haichao asked with confusion. As he spoke, he fixed his eyes on the report held in his hands, which was about the latest news from Sea City Base and All Beings Base.

Earlier, when he and his people first heard that Sea City Base was surrounded by zombies, they had expected a great show. However, after spending a few days waiting, they found those zombies still staying quietly outside the base, doing absolutely nothing.

The zombies didn’t seem to attack the base, but the underground creatures had started to do that. Moreover, those zombies stopped those creatures. It looked like those zombies had built defense lines outside Sea City Base and All Beings Base.

With a sullen look, Si Kongchen thought for a moment and turned back to where Lin Qiao disappeared. “Perhaps they’re controlling those zombies with some kind of method,” he made a guess, “Don’t you forget that when All Beings Base was founded two years ago , it was surrounded by a crowd of zombies the whole time.”

On hearing his words, people looked at him with comprehension dawning on their faces.

“No wonder!” Han Xiao threw the pen held in his hand at the desk, saying, “Do they have high-leveled zombies kept in their base?”

The others glanced at him.

Si Kongchen raised his brows and said, “I think you’re probably right. I’m thinking the same thing. How could they possibly control over a hundred thousand zombies if they don’t have high-leveled zombies under their command?”

Everyone exchanged glances. At that point, even Liu Zhinan couldn’t help but join the conversation, “That’s only your guess. How can you prove it? Can you find the high-leveled zombies that are kept in their base?”

He was very interested in that! Learning that some people might have managed to accomplish something that humans weren’t supposed to be capable of, he, as a scientist, was compelled to try everything he could to figure out how those people did it. Most importantly, he had been having similar ideas and even been doing some relative experiments. He never succeeded, though.

Therefore, when he heard that All Beings Base might have achieved what he couldn’t, his interest was instantly aroused.

“If you put it that way, I think the few people under the woman’s command are quite suspicious,” Wei Haichao shared his opinion.

“What people?” Liu Zhinan asked.

Si Kongchen and Han Xiao both glanced at Wei Haichao, as though something had crossed their minds.

“Doesn’t that woman always have people wearing sunglasses following her around? I’ve never seen those people take off their sunglasses,” said Wei Haichao. Then, he started counting using his fingers, “First, Xie Dong. He was from Sea City Base, gone missing during a mission. None of his teammates returned to the base alive! However, not long after that, he showed up in Sea City Base together with that woman. And ever since that, I think he never took off his sunglasses. And the two girls named Qiu Lili and Yun Meng, those girls always wore sunglasses or tinted spectacles when there were other people around.”

He always felt that something about the All Beings Base people was very weird. Now, as he gave it a thought, he realized where the problem lay.
