157 Without Qiao

On their way to the hotel, Lin Qiao and Qiu Lili paused suddenly. With the two of them stopping like that, Junjun looked at them confusedly. 

As Lin Qiao took off her sunglasses, her eyes shone brightly. She reached out a hand to drag Qiu Lili, who was prepared to rush out, and pushed her to Junjun. 

"I…go, you…with her!" She said a few words.

Qiu Lili understood that Lin Qiao intended to deal with the suddenly appeared high-level zombie by herself and wanted her to stay behind to protect Junjun and Tongtong. 

Lin Qiao asked Qiu Lili to stay with Junjun, but in fact, the one who truly needed protection was Tongtong. 

Both Lin Qiao and Qiu Lili stopped moving because they suddenly sensed a level-five zombie moving toward Lin Feng and his people. 

Qiu Lili wanted to go because she had an interest in playing with that zombie. Moreover, it would be nice for her to kill it and dig out its nucleus. 

However, Lin Qiao dragged her and made her stop. She was a little unhappy to be told to stay by Lin Qiao, but as she asked her to protect Junjun and Tongtong, she had no choice but to agree. 

Even though Qiu Lili was powerful, she was rather obedient to Lin Qiao. It seemed that she would do whatever Lin Qiao told her to do. Besides, she wasn't really interested in the zombie nucleus of level four or five zombies. 

Lin Qiao didn't let them stay there, but pointed at the hotel and said, "You… go…there!" After that, she flashed across the air and became invisible. 

On the other side, the group of people had spent a night in the hotel, but didn't see Lin Qiao and the other zombie return. 

When they arrived, they cleaned a few adjoining rooms, then wiped out all the zombies on that floor. After that, they put Yuan Tianxing on a bed which was covered with dust. 

Lin Wenwen and the other few female members were staying in a room, while Lin Hao and Du Yuanxing led the others to search through all sorts of storages of the hotel. 

Lin Feng had been resting in a room as well. At the moment, he was standing by a window, looking outside. 

"I wonder if Li Zheng and his people have safely arrived at the Sea City Base or not. They were all great fighters with superpowers, but the journey would have been long and full of dangers. If they bumped into level-five zombies, they might be in some troubles," Mrs. Lin said while picking up a piece of cloth from the ground. She shook it and found that it was a towel. 

"They should be alright, as they are good at avoiding dangers. Even if they fell into dangerous situations, they wouldn't all fall. Some people would have certainly arrived at the Sea City Base safely. What I'm worried about is the attitude of Sea City Base people. Qiao had made promises to them before, but she's no longer with us. So, I can't tell for sure if they'll still help us or not." Lin Feng said expressionlessly.

By now, they were no longer with a level-seven powerful being, neither could them afford to pay the Sea City Base with what Lin Qiao had promised before. They could join the Sea City Base, but the Sea City Base people might not be willing to help them build a new base, or head to the Hades Base to help them save the other Hades Base people who were now under the Earth Dragon Base's control. 

The Hades Base was far away from the Sea City Base. Sending a large number of superpowered ones to the Hades Base would largely weaken the Sea City Base. More importantly, the Sea City Base wouldn't get anything in return by doing that. 

Mrs. Lin sighed and said, "Without Qiao, it'll be too difficult for us to build a new base even if we want to. And, even if we manage to build that base, it'll be even harder for us to guard it." 

Lin Feng nodded in agreement. Among them, the strongest one was Yuan Tianxing, who was at the peak of level-six. Lin Feng had just stepped into level-six, and was still a lot weaker than Yuan Tianxing. Otherwise, he wouldn't be injured so badly by Yang Jianhua. 

Yang Jianhua was at the peak of level-six as well, preparing to enter level-seven. If Long Yubai helped him, he would be able to break into level-seven in the near future. 

By then, Lin Feng and his people would be no match for him. 

So, for the time being, Lin Feng needed to try figuring out a way to save himself and his family. As for the other Hades Base people, they had to wait. 

The Hades Base had surely suffered a heavy casualty when Long Yubai and his people attacked. The enemy wasn't in great numbers, but all of them were strong superpowered beings. Therefore, it was reasonable for the Hades Base to be broken. 

The Hades Base was only a little stronger than the Earth Dragon Base, because it had more level-five superpowered members than the latter. 

Both Hades Base and Earth Dragon Base had one level-seven leader and two level-six deputy leaders. As the leader of the Hades Base, Netherworld Fire failed to figure the true strength of her enemies because of Yang Jianhua's fake information and what he did. Once the war began, the Hades Base had lost two level-six powerful beings very soon, so it was broken by Earth Dragon people effortlessly. 

The leader of the Hades Base was forced onto a cliff and blew herself up, while more than half of the level four and five superpowered members of the Hades Base were dead or injured. The rest were either caught or ran away, and the ordinary members were all brought under control. 

If some of them wanted to surrender, the Earth Dragon people would accept it, as long as they found a way to prove that they were no longer loyal to Netherworld Fire, or agreed to help in dealing with her subordinates who were on the run. 

The supplies owned by the Hades Base had undoubtedly fallen into Long Yubai's hands. Even though Yang Jianhua had claimed that he would take over the Hades Base, he might not be able to become its new owner. 

Mrs. Lin's words darkened the faces of everyone in the room. 

"If only Qiao were still alive…" Lin Feng said gloomily. They were shorthanded at the moment, so without a question, they weren't able to build a new base. The Sea City Base had no reason to send people to help them either. As for joining the Sea City Base, they didn't want that. 

The Sea City Base was a large base, its population multiple times greater than that of the Hades Base. Besides, the Sea City Base wasn't run by one leader, but three. Plus, they had seven deputy leaders and numberless superpowered people at level four or five under their command. 

If they joined the Sea City Base, Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing as level-six superpowered men might earn them a certain standing. But after all, the Sea City Base wasn't their home. 

Not long ago, Lin Feng was just a level-five. He unexpectedly broke into level-six during a fight, which allowed him to bring his family and soldiers all the way to Zhe Province. 

If he hadn't upgraded, he would have been killed or caught by Yang Jianhua long ago. 

As everyone in the room was feeling depressed, a soldier abruptly ran upstairs. In fact, the squad of soldiers among them had all served their time in special forces. They were all great fighters; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to follow Lin Feng to this place. 

This young soldier named Xing Le knocked the door before pushing it open and walking into the room. Filled with delight, he reported to Lin Feng, "Great Captain, we found solar power storage equipment in this hotel!"
