Chapter 1413 - Feed Them Up

Wu Chengyue wasn’t worried about Lin Qiao, because he believed in her capabilities. He knew she wouldn’t be killed so easily under her current situation.

He wanted to help her, but he also understood that she did not need his help at the moment. His experiences told him that her pride wouldn’t let her accept his help now. On the contrary, she might feel annoyed if he offered her help.

Those were the reasons why he wasn’t worried about her.

Wu Chengyue couldn’t help but feel slightly sorry for Si Kongchen when he learned that Lin Qiao had blown up his arsenals. But soon, he started taking pleasure in the other’s misfortune.

During wartime, nothing could be worse than losing weapons or army provisions!

Learning that Lin Qiao was stuck in Huaxia Base and Si Kongchen was waiting for her to exit her space didn’t make All Beings Base people worry. Si Kongchen couldn’t sense her space, meaning that she was safe. As for how she would exit her space, they had no idea about it. After all, according to Yun Meng, Si Kongchen was now able to detect Lin Qiao’s presence even when the latter was invisible. She might not have a chance to come out of her space unless something distracted him.

By keeping Si Kongchen busy, Lin Qiao was actually buying time for the others. People could use the time to brainstorm and come up with an idea about how to protect themselves against the level-nine man. Who else could contend against Si Kongchen but the other level-nine beings?

“Green Mountain Base has a level-nine man, doesn’t it? Can he help us?” Sitting in the conference room, Lin Feng looked at the others and said.

“Isn’t he in a coma?” Yuan Tianxing looked at him and asked.

Lin Feng shook his head and said, “Earlier, Lan Lu sent me a message, saying that his level-nine chief has woken up, and that the man didn’t lose any power. Lan Lu has also told me that since we’ve been helping him the whole time, we can ask him for any help we need. I think he’s guessed about Si Kongchen’s true power long ago.”

Everyone turned to Lin Feng with surprise and then nodded with comprehension.

“So he’s willing to help us, isn’t he?” Qiu Lili looked at the others and asked. After Lin Qiao left, she and Lin Kui had returned to the base. Sitting beside her, Lin Kui nodded at her.

“So, how are we going to deal with the underground attack that’ll happen soon?” Since Si Kongchen would have an opponent, the underground creature attack would be the only problem left. After asking the question, Yun Meng looked at the others.

In the recent couple of days, they had found some traces of high-leveled underground creatures near the base. Those creatures were scouting the area; clearly, the group upgrading was about to finish.

The underground creatures that had upgraded successfully all seemed starving, as they had been hunting crazily everywhere. That was exactly the same as what Si Kongchen expected. The upgrade had made those creatures extremely hungry. However, none of those creatures had gone far away from the gathering spots. They stayed within miles round and returned to the gathering spot once the high-leveled ones summoned them.

More and more traces of underground creatures had been found near the base. Those creatures were probably planning to have a banquet after the upgrading formally ended. For them, a human base could be like a farm.

People believed that soon enough, those scary monsters would show up around their base and hunt for them.

“We’ve made Wenwen’s catmint and those dark fruits that Chief brought back from the underground into powder and spread it around the base. But I’m not sure how long its effect will last.” Speaking of those underground creatures, Lin Feng put on a worried look. After all, the amount of catmint and black fruit wasn’t large enough, and the new batches were still growing. The powder that the base currently possessed wasn’t enough to cover the entire surrounding area of the base, so some areas were missed.

Those creatures were afraid of those two types of plants, which was why the powder could keep them away from the base. Thankfully, those starving monsters weren’t crazy enough to rush straight through the powdered area.

None of the creatures that had shown up recently had approached the powdered areas. The powder was working, but that effect might not last long. No one could guarantee that those creatures wouldn’t ignore the powder and storm straight into the base ultimately. After all, they would need a huge amount of food, and humans happened to be social animals. A human base would make a full meal for a herd of underground creatures.

That was a great temptation.

Those underground creatures had fought battles amongst themselves during the upgrading. Their numbers had dropped drastically, as only twenty percent of them managed to upgrade successfully. However, about eight gathering spots existed near All Beings Base, meaning that tens of thousands of underground creatures would come at the base after the upgrade finished. For All Beings Base, that would undoubtedly be a disaster.

And at that critical moment, their Chief was stuck in Huaxia Base…

“I have an idea,” Lin Wenwen, who was sitting behind Yuan Tianxing, abruptly joined the conversation.

“What idea?” Everyone immediately turned their eyes to her.

Lin Wenwen stood up and slowly walked from side to side while saying, “Our base isn’t the only source of food for those hungry creatures. Don’t you forget that our base has more than humans. We can easily feed them up, and then they’ll leave!”

Her words enlightened the other people.

“Oh, you’re right! They also feed on zombies! We can summon wild zombies and gather them outside the base to feed them! They’ll leave when they’re full!” Yun Meng clapped her hands and said excitedly.

The others had all been focusing on how to fight those underground creatures using violence or some ways. None of them had tried to come up with a solution from a different angle.

“We should hurry up then. To feed them up, we’re going to have to gather a huge crowd of zombies!” Lin Feng sighed with relief and then said to the ones sitting on the other side of the table, who were responsible for Base Number Two.

“No problem! We’ll take action right now,” said Yun Meng while the others nodded together.

“Oh, um… Do you guys need my help?” A relaxed voice was heard from a corner.

Everyone turned and saw a pretty man standing in a corner, leaning against the wall. “Mo Yan? When did you get in?” Qiu Lili glared at the man and said.

“This is the conference room. We’re having a meeting here! How could you get in without permission?”

“Oi, Lili, it seems that you still don’t like me. Who said that I’m not allowed in here? There isn’t a sign on the door saying ‘don’t come in’! Also, I’m standing right in here, and no one is asking me to leave!” Mo Yan said to Qiu Lili jokingly with a naughty smile.
