999 Jump Into Battle

Lin Qiao parked the car on the way to where Yun Meng and her troop was stated, then put the car back into her space and hopped onto a tall building. She found a spot with a wide view and saw a massive spread of glowing red spots coming closer and closer.

She sighed with relief. Thankfully, she had ordered Lin Feng before leaving to send Lin Hao, Lin Xiaolu, Tongtong, and Teng away from the base to Sea City Base for protection.

A series of swishing noises could be heard. Along with the noises, Qiu Lili, Lin Kui, and all zombie kings and queens from the base showed up beside her.

A couple of days ago, Lin Qiao had summoned Lin Kui back to the base ahead of schedule. Long Qingying, Lin Wenwen, Leng Xuantong, Kong Qingming, and his people were still in Lake Tai area, searching for that mysterious stone while studying the medicinal value of mutated herbs.

"Why are they here? They're so close to us! And there are so many of them!" Qiu Lili widened her red eyes and said with surprise. Those creatures were really close to All Beings Base.

Lin Qiao looked straight ahead with a sullen face and said, "They are frenzied now. Their speed, strength, and self-defense capacity have all been boosted. Be careful! Don't risk your own safety fighting them!"

"What about you? You're not going after that big one, are you? It looks like a tough one!" Qiu Lili detected the hidden meaning in Lin Qiao's words, so she turned and asked the latter. Lin Qiao clearly had told them to pick on the ones that they were capable of defeating. As for the stronger ones…

"Don't worry! My power is highly harmful to them. I'll find a way to fight that level-eight one. If I fail… If I fail, you should send someone to Sea City Base and ask Wu Chengyue for help," Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes and released a black fire from her palm.

She believed that Wu Chengyue would at least be able to buy some time for the residents in her base to run if she failed to stop those creatures. If that really happened, her new base might be destroyed again.

As someone who preferred to solve every problem by herself, Lin Qiao honestly didn't want that to happen, and neither did she want to ask Wu Chengyue for help at the current point in time. She didn't want to rely on anybody as long as she was still able to fight.

What she said to Qiu Lili was the decision that she made for the people in her base.

The black fire turned into a black lotus and twisted slightly on her palm, then suddenly split into countless dark fire streaks. Each streak of fire shattered in the air into tiny wisps, flashing toward the red spots in the darkness which were not far away.

After giving birth to Teng, Lin Qiao had been trying to regain her power. As a result, she had regained about eighty percent of her power over the past twenty days. Her power hadn't been fully restored yet, but could still allow her to launch a few massive attacks.

As Lin Qiao and the other zombies showed up, the underground creatures' army, that was moving forward speedily, paused. By the time Lin Qiao released her fire, they even took a step backward instinctively.

"Roar…" Their leader stopped moving and uttered deep, wary roars from its throat.

Realizing that her superpower seemed to have frightened the enemies, Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes and gave her order, "Apart from that level-eight one, there are five level-seven ones among them. Lili, you take one, Lin Kui, take another. The others, try your best to avoid the level-seven ones."

Qiu Lili might not have a chance of winning against a frenzied level-seven underground creature. But thankfully, there was one good thing about being zombies: as long as their limbs and heads were still attached to their bodies, they would be fine.

Simply speaking, zombies were really hard to kill.

Having finished talking, Lin Qiao leaped off the building, rushing at the few level-seven underground gorillas who were near the level-eight one.

She remembered burning a level-seven underground gorilla to death with a slight wisp of dark fire. The fire had burned the creature from inside out.

Meanwhile, she found that those creatures didn't scatter. They were charging straight at her base without attempting to hide. In the darkness, they looked like weird, monster-shaped lanterns.

Within a blink, Lin Qiao flashed to the side of that enormous underground gorilla and released a stream of dark mist to wrap it up, also swiftly throwing a tiny black fireball at the head of a level-seven underground gorilla.

"Roar!" The underground gorilla surrounded by the dark mist wasn't stupid. It faintly detected the energy contained in the mist and instantly sprung up, leaping thirty meters away and generating a thunderous noise while landing.

Lin Qiao and her netherworld fire had stirred the monster troop. All those creatures tried their best to stay away from her fire, seemingly panicked.

But, how could they dodge Lin Qiao's dark fire so easily? Her fire was like the fire of death leaked straight from the netherworld, following tightly behind those weird creatures and bringing a frosty vibe to them.

"Roar!" One level-seven underground gorilla didn't manage to dodge and let the tiny black fireball land on its head. The fireball split into a series of fire streaks and drilled into its mouth, ears, and nose.

"Bang!" At that moment, a slim figure was thrown onto the ground like a broken doll.

"Eh-hem! You guys are finally here! I'd be wasted if you were not…" Yun Meng even started to stutter. She struggled up from the ground, with one leg twisted. The bones of that leg might have been broken. Her body and head were covered in zombie blood; a pair of pupils glowed with a green light in her dark eyes like emerald, making her look like a ghost.

While speaking, she coughed out some blood.

"Whoa! Mengmeng, you look miserable!" Qiu Lili uttered a scream. Meanwhile, she flashed to Yun Meng's side and swiftly brought her away from where she was standing.

Boom! A buffalo-sized underground gorilla landed in that area and created a half-meter wide pit on the ground with its strong claws.

Lin Qiao flashed onto a tall building, then raised both hands and focused her mind to control the netherworld fire that she had released just now. After that dark mist that was chasing behind the level-eight gorilla, she let out another wave of dark fire toward the level-seven ones.

There were seven level-seven underground gorillas on the battlefield. One of them was busy fighting Yun Meng, and another one was engaging with Xia Ri. As a zombie who possessed rarely seen super strength, Xia Ri had a much stronger body than Yun Meng did. But still, he was a level lower than Yun Meng, so he suffered worse than she did.

He was still alive, but disabled from moving; his entire body was covered in wounds and zombie blood. His chest was dented and stomach ripped open, guts exposed in the air while limbs were twisted in weird ways. Lying in a deep pit, he blinked and looked at the sky helplessly.
