1158 Yuan Tianxing Sets Off

Lin Feng looked at Yuan Tianxing. According to him, Yun Meng knew that something was wrong with the river water, but couldn't tell what exactly was the problem.

"So, do you have any plans now?" He thought for a moment, and then asked Yuan Tianxing.

"I want to take a few people down into the cave and find out what exactly has happened there, as well as if it'll come up to the surface," said Yuan Tianxing.

"What? You're going down? No, that's too dangerous! What if some other monsters like those underground gorillas are down there? You might get eaten." Lin Feng had guessed out what Yuan Tianxing might want to do. However, he disagreed once the latter said it out loud.

Even if it required someone to go down into the cave, it should be the zombie army. If any danger occurred down there, the zombie soldiers would have a chance to survive. The underground cave was a much safer place for the zombie soldiers than the fragile human beings.

Yuan Tianxing gave him a glance and said, "Who else can go then? You? That's not an option. You have a wife and kid. Besides, who said for sure it's gonna be dangerous? I'll be able to handle it even if it's going to be dangerous. I'm a level-seven after all."

"But…" Lin Feng still didn't agree with him.

Yuan Tianxing waved a hand, then picked up the potful of tea that Lin Feng made and poured himself a cup, "Think about it! Those underground gorillas have run out of the cave. That's a warning sign for us. Animals are very sensitive to incoming dangers. They might have sensed something that was going to happen. If we don't figure out what it is before things become worse, how are we gonna prepare ourselves? What would we do if an emergency happened?"

Lin Feng understood how bad the consequences might be, and how necessary it was to find out the truth under such a potential threat. The people who would go down into the cave had to be strong. Otherwise, they might fail to handle the unpredictable situations down there and end up unable to bring their discoveries back to the base.

The zombie soldiers have different body conditions and sensation systems than human beings, so they might miss some critical clues in the cave. It was risky for Yuan Tianxing to go down into the cave, but no one else was more suitable for the task. He once served in a special force and had mastered the skills of field works.

"Then you should bring some helpers. Ask Yun Meng to send a few zombie leaders to go with you." As Yuan Tianxing was quite determined, Lin Feng had no choice but to sigh and agree.

"Relax! If anything happened to me, you and Lin Qiao will be taking care of the base. If I find anything in the cave, I'll certainly keep myself alive and bring it back to you. If I fail to do that, I can always turn into a zombie and wait for Lin Qiao to come back and save me. Besides, I'm a single man. I don't have a home or a kid. I'm the perfect man for the job," Yuan Tianxing took a sip of the tea as he smiled and said.

Lin Feng gave him a glare and said, "What are you talking about? This base is your home. You may not have family, but don't forget about us. We are your friends!"

'If anything happened to you, my little sister's heart will break into pieces when she returns and finds out.' The last sentence could only be said by Lin Feng to himself in his head.

"Oh, you're right! See, I'm gonna be safe for the sake of you guys, my friends," Yuan Tianxing smilingly nodded at him.

"Apart from Yun Meng's soldiers, you should also take Li Zheng and his men with you. If anything really happens to you, they will look out for you. If things go bad, they'll at least be able to bring out the news," Lin Feng said.

"Alright, alright! I get it. You're making this too big of a deal. Maybe things aren't so bad yet," Yuan Tianxing waved at him.

"What if those gorillas went back into the cave before you found anything down there? You'd be screwed," Lin Feng furrowed his brows and thought of another possibility.

Yuan Tianxing folded his arms and leaned against the back of the couch, then thought for a moment and said, "I don't think they'll go back into the cave so soon. If they could go back, they wouldn't need to run out. Their sensations are much sharper than ours."

"You better be right! Tell Yun Meng to keep a close eye on those things. Tell her to send you a signal once they show any sign of going back," Lin Feng nodded to agree.

After talking with Lin Feng, Yuan Tianxing threw all his unfinished works to him. In the afternoon, he left for where Yun Meng's troop was stationed, together with Li Zheng and the others. Yun Meng was expecting them at the entrance, and she sensed their vibes when they were still far away.

"Did you come here today with a plan?" She talked Yuan Tianxing about what happened in the cave area last night, and he showed up right there today. He must have come for what she told him last night.

"Yes. I plan to go down into the cave for a careful search. I want to ask you for some… um… helpers. Ten level-five ones. Will that be okay?" Yuan Tianxing got off the car and said.

"What? Are you going down there too? I can provide you with the men you need, but are you sure? If anything happens down there, you guys might… easily die."

"We have to go down there. How can we find out what's going on without going in there? How are we gonna know if we'll be safe in the future if we don't go down? This place is very close to our base after all." Yuan Tianxing turned and took a glimpse at All Beings Base while speaking.

The cave entrance was merely tens of miles away from All Beings Base. It wasn't too close to the base, but wasn't far away either. All Beings Base was the only base within a hundred miles radius.

"Are you getting down there now?" Yun Meng looked at Yuan Tianxing and asked.

"How are those underground gorillas doing now? Will they come back?" Yuan Tianxing asked her about those underground gorillas.

Yun Meng glanced into the direction those underground gorillas moved in, then shook her head and said. "No. They spent the whole night last night moving in that direction. At dawn, they stopped in an area where the light cannot reach. They're already tens of miles away from here now. Maybe you should wait until tonight. Let's see where they'll be going. If they keep moving forward tonight instead of coming back here, I think they won't suddenly come back and cause you any problems."

Yuan Tianxing thought for a moment, then glanced at the others. Yun Meng's advice was actually great. Safety was the first priority after all.

"Alright. Let's wait until we have found out which way they'll be going," he nodded.

"Get in then. I'll go and get your men ready. You guys find yourself somewhere to take a rest." As he agreed, Yun Meng happily turned and left to make arrangements for Yuan Tianxing.

Yun Meng and her soldiers lived in military tents. Her tent was guarded by quite some soldiers in military uniforms. No other people were there, so those soldiers didn't wear sunglasses to cover their eyes.

Yuan Tianxing and his people saw a lot of soldiers when they arrived, but sensed no human vibe at all. They also noticed the purely dark, weird-looking eyes of those soldiers.
