240 Start From The Followers

"Deputy Chief," asked Lin Yu, "why did you come to Sea City Base to find us?" 

Yuan Tianxing nodded and said, "Em, we're now staying in a town at the edge of Hangzhou City. We're planning to build a new base." 

Lin Yu paused slightly, then popped his eyes as he stared at Yuan Tianxing and asked with surprise, "Build…build a new base? Who?" 

"Us," said Yuan Tianxing. 

"How many people…do we have then?" Lin Yu asked. Yuan Tianxing spent a moment counting, then answered his question, "Around ten…I came to Sea City Base to ask for help. Perhaps, we can hire some people from here." 

Lin Yu looked at him, stunned. 

How could ten people build a base? And where?

On the other side, after Lin Qiao and Lin Feng had both agreed to wait for Yuan Tianxing to return before making the final decision, she began preparing to fix Qiu Lili and Xie Dong's body. 

The energy wasn't enough, so Lin Qiao asked Qiu Lili to find more zombie nuclei. Then, she suddenly had her eyes on Qiu Lili's two underlings. 

"Lili, shall we upgrade these two as well?" 

"Ahya?" Qiu Lili looked at the two zombies confusedly. 

'Them?'

Qiu Lili had ordered the two to stay outside at a long distance away without approaching the hotel, because they had no humanity. They acted harmlessly to human beings because they were under Qiu Lili's control. Although they were both smart, their beast-like instincts were strong. 

Without Qiu Lili, they might still attack the group of humans because of hunger. 

Lin Qiao said, "We now need a zombie squad to protect Lin Feng and his people, and to improve our strength. After all, our next target is a zombie city which is full of zombies. We might get too busy if we don't recruit new members. Besides, more and more people will be live in the base, so we need to escort them in and out more frequently. By that time, the ordinary zombies surrounding the base will need to be controlled by higher level zombies."

Hearing her, Qiu Lili nodded knowingly. 

Liu Jun carried Tong Tong and joined the conversation, "We should first resolve their hunger. I think you can do that by giving them the water from your lake." 

Lin Qiao nodded and said, "Em, I have the same plan." She surely knew that the energy in her lake was able to slowly erase the hunger of zombies. Judging by the changes that had happened to Liu Jun, she wondered if the other zombies would regain some memories after being treated by Viney in the lake. 

She wanted to run a test and see if the lake water could restore zombies' memories. 

"Let's go out and try the two," Lin Qiao and Qiu Lili walked downstairs to the parking lot. The few mutant turtles were still sleeping in the giant cage. 

Liu Jun didn't follow them. Her room was facing the other side, so she wasn't able to see Lin Qiao and Qiu Lili through the window. 

Seeing Lin Qiao and Qiu Lili coming to the parking lot, Lin Xiaolu who was upstairs, looked at them by the window with curiosity. Then, she called her mother and aunty and told them to look at the two zombies. 

"Mom, Aunty, look! What are they playing down there?" 

"Who are they?" Lin Wenwen and Cheng Wangxue looked at her and asked. 

Lin Xiaolu pointed down through the window while turning back to respond, "That bald lady, and the lady who likes white dresses." 

"Lu Tianyu and Qiu Lili?" Said Lin Wenwen, "What are they doing?" While speaking, she walked toward the window curiously. 

"Eh, it's really them! What are they doing?" 

"I heard that Lu Tianyu is going to expand her zombie squad. I guess she's preparing to start," said Cheng Wangxue. 

Lin Wenwen turned to look at her with surprise, then asked, "Zombie squad? What zombie squad?" 

Cheng Wangxue shook her head. 

Down the building, Lin Qiao said to Qiu Lili, "Lili, you go hunt three level-five zombies and collect their nuclei. I think that'll be enough for you. And then, summon your…eh, your followers. I'll get them into the space and fix them." 

As this was about her recovery and talking ability, Qiu Lili immediately did what Lin Qiao said. She nodded, then turned and screamed toward the outside. 

"Ah!" 

Hearing her shrill voice, Lin Qiao couldn't help but have her eyebrows twitch slightly. 

About ten seconds later, two figures darted over on all fours from a long distance away, then squatted before Qiu Lili quietly. One male and one female, the two zombies squatted in front of Qiu Lili. Looking at them, Lin Qiao suddenly felt that they looked like two large dogs. 

The two level-four zombies squatted before Qiu Lili, then raised their heads to look at the latter with fear. Qiu Lili raised a hand, then pointed at Lin Qiao and said, "Ahyayayay…" 

'Now you have to listen to her, or she'll eat you!' She said to the two zombies. 

'I don't eat zombies…'

Lin Qiao silently glanced at Qiu Lili, then took off her sunglasses and turned to look at the two zombies with a serious look. A cold beam of light flashed across her pair of dark eyes which glowed with a faint green light. 

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The two level-four zombies immediately felt threatened. Their hair stood straight up as they uttered deep and warning growls toward Lin Qiao. 

Seeing their reaction, Qiu Lili immediately screamed at them, "Ahyaya!" 

'Quiet! She won't eat you if you follow her orders!'

"Whoo…." The two level-four zombies were so afraid of Qiu Lili that once they heard her screams, they quieted down. Lin Qiao walked to them and said, "Reach out your claws." 

"Roar!" The two zombies maintained a high vigilance against her. They didn't move, but stared at her and uttered strange growls from their throats. Lin Qiao had no choice but to release her vibe fully, then narrowed her eyes and looked at the two zombies. 

"Whooo…" Once Lin Qiao released her vibe, the two level-four zombies who were highly alert against her immediately dropped their heads and hunched their backs. 

"Claws," said Lin Qiao. This time, the two zombies finally reached out their claws obediently. Seeing their dirty claws, Lin Qiao couldn't tell if they had eaten any human beings. However, she felt that no other human beings existed in this area except Lin Feng and his people. 

The two zombies didn't look energetic at all, so Lin Qiao guessed that they hadn't fed in a long time. 

Lin Qiao pinched a small corner of each of their sleeves which looked relatively cleaner, then disappeared with them. After that, Qiu Lili turned and hopped onto the roof, standing on the highest spot of the building. 

She closed her eyes to sense around, then flashed toward one direction and disappeared without a trace. 

Upstairs, Lin Wenwen said, "What are they doing? Lu Tianyu seemed to have brought the two level-four zombies into her space. What is she up to?" 

"Who knows?" Said Cheng Wangxue. 

Lin Wenwen rested her chin on her hand and continued, "I think the two she brought into her space are ordinary zombies, not like herself and her friends. The two are like those zombies which have lost their mind, and will bite any human they see, right?"
