Being called, Lin Feng raised his head to look at Lin Qiao, and then at Wu Chengyue. Then, he shrugged and said, "I'll go. But, are you sure you want me to go?"
Lin Qiao had given her order, but the atmosphere was a little weird. Why?
"Oi, you! You like to stay in our base, fine! But, please don't always try to bring our Chief to your base, okay?" Yun Meng finally looked at Wu Chengyue and complained.
Lin Qiao ignored Wu Chengyue as she nodded at Lin Feng and said to him, "Em, I'm sure. You'll go." After saying that, she stood up, prepared to leave.
At that very moment, she paused and turned to look outside the window, at the gate from where she came in from not long ago.
"Awooo…" A strange beast howl was heard from that area.
"Eh? What's that sound?" The leader of the guards by the gate turned to that area with confusion.
At that moment, a small figure showed up on top of the fence wall. He sat at the edge of the wall top and squinted his black zombie eyes which glowed with a red light, looking at where the sound came from. The lower half of his face was covered by a face mask.
"Owow! Owoo!" A series of familiar dog barks was heard from that area too.
Almost everyone in the base knew that the dog was the black mutated dog that their Chief took in earlier. The dog had been running about outside the safe zone of the base. They had also noticed that a bucket-sized black snake often showed up together with the dog. There was something else, but no one saw what it was clearly.
"Is that Chief's dog?" The guard leader heard the dog bark and asked the others.
"What was the other sound?" A soldier by his side asked.
"I don't know," the guard leader shook his head and said, "I've never heard something like that."
The little figure on top of the wall dropped the book in his hands, then stood up to look into the distance.
"Owoooo!" Another resonant dog bark was heard from afar.
"Eh? That's… That's a dog, but it doesn't sound like Chief's dog."
"It's definitely not. That sounds like a calm, fierce dog. Chief's dog barks loudly, but it sounds like a silly dog! Chief's dog must be a husky!"
"Shh! Don't say that! If he's not a husky and he heard what you said, he might eat you!"
"That's impossible! Chief's pets don't eat people!"
The soldiers near the gates started to discuss where the second dog bark came from.
"Owooo!"
"Owowowow!"
"Owoooo… Roar…"
Four stood on top of the twenty-meter-tall fence wall as he narrowed his eyes and looked toward the source of the roars. Except for Chief's three pets, he sensed the vibes of two other beasts, one of which seemed to be very dangerous.
What was it?
While Four was making guesses, a figure suddenly showed up by his side. He turned and saw a tall and slim zombie lady who had full breasts, beautiful waist, and long legs. Her long hair were fluttering in the air.
"Eh? No way. The big cat is here? Did it follow us here?" Standing beside Four, Lin Qiao murmured to herself. Four turned and raised his head to look at her with confusion and curiosity, waiting for her explanation.
Lin Qiao glanced at him as she rubbed his head and said, "I'll explain to you later." After saying that, she disappeared from where she was.
As she disappeared, Four immediately turned back to look outside the base.
Lin Qiao flashed to where the noises came from. As she expected, she saw a red figure flashing among a few black figures.
"Owoooooorrrrr… Lololo…" The blood-red, hairless, six-footed, snake-tailed cat, which had a pair of horns, was easily darting between two dogs and a giant snake.
"What? Two?" Lin Qiao squinted at the large dog and the smaller one. Then, she recognized the other dog as Bowwow's number one enemy!
That was the fluffy, enormous Tibetan mastiff which was twice the size as Bowwow!
Why did the cat and the dog both follow her all the way here from the Northwest? What were they doing now?
Lin Qiao twitched her nose, then had her eyes glowing.
The giant dog looked very fierce and scary, but earlier, she found that its body actually gave out no blood scent. Surprisingly, the six-footed cat carried no blood scent at all either. It was a little different from the other underground creatures she saw.
At the moment, the two dogs and the black snake were attacking the six-footed cat together. The cat, which was larger than all of them, was easily dodging all the attacks. From whatever angle one looked, it looked like they were playing together.
"What's going on? Don't tell me you got new pets," Wu Chengyue showed up by her side and saw what was happening, then said to her with surprise.
Just now, the zombie lady suddenly disappeared from the conference room and moved toward where the noises came from. The others were surprised at first, then suddenly sensed a strange, dangerous vibe coming from that area.
Lin Qiao gave him a glance and said, "Who told you those are my new pets?"
Wu Chengyue shrugged and said, "You had Strong, don't you? Taking in two more will be no big deal."
"Owooo!" At that moment, following a deep dog howl and a swishing noise, Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue turned together to find a cattle-sized, fluffy black dog flying at them.
"Hah, this big one turns out to be so weak! Bowwow shouldn't have been so afraid of it," Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue flashed away together.
Boom! The enormous black dog landed on top of the small building that the two of them were standing on, flattened the entire building.
"Awooo!" The red figure flashed across the air and charged at them.
Lin Qiao moved her feet to the other side. However, the red cat was clearly faster than her. It landed in front of her as if it had foreseen her movements.
"Eh?" Lin Qiao paused briefly with surprise. Then, she abruptly leaped high and flipped in the air, avoiding the cat while flying to the side and easily landing on a tree.
She sensed no intent of killing; that was unexpected. She didn't detect the kind of killing intent that came from a predator. She didn't even sense any threat from the cat. Why did the weird cat follow her to the base then?
