In the space, Lin Qiao suppressed the superpower attacks from the crocodile and the thunder flower, then sent Black to deal with the flower, which was the lowest-leveled one among the three.
Black coiled onto a tree above the thunder flower, then swooped at the flower which was unable to launch any more lightning attacks. The snake widely opened its jaws and bared its hook-shaped, sharp fangs, biting on the flower.
Puff… Following a slight noise, the beautiful, purple flower was bitten into pieces by Black. The snake raised its head, prepared to swallow the flower.
"Wait a minute! Don't eat it," Lin Qiao hurriedly stopped it.
Black paused, then slightly dropped its head to look at Lin Qiao with confusion, the dead flower hanging in its mouth.
"Just kill it. Don't eat it," Lin Qiao said to the snake.
Clap! Black opened its mouth, and the dead flower fell onto the ground.
"Come here, bite this one," Lin Qiao pointed at the crocodile, then waved at Black.
Black quickly crawled off the tree and flashed toward the crocodile like a shred of shadow.
The crocodile immediately sensed the danger coming. It turned around and widely opened its mouth, attempting to bite Black, who was charging at it.
Black, of course, wouldn't rush straight into the crocodile's huge mouth. Instead, it turned its head and moved sideways to behind the crocodile, then launched a series of attacks.
As the crocodile was suppressed for the moment, Lin Qiao stopped, then leaped off the tree and landed beside the dead flower. After that, she narrowed her eyes to see what was happening on the outside. Seeing the water out there, she figured that she might fall into the water if she exited the space now.
Therefore, she gave up on that idea and decided to first finish the two giants before going out. By that time, the water out there should be less deep than now.
The crocodile which was stuck in the woods was really bullied by Black. However, it had a strong skin, and its belly wasn't exposed. So, Black couldn't manage to kill it at the moment. With no better choice, the snake moved behind the crocodile to bite its butt.
The turtle that was lying sideways saw the purple flower die, but it made no special reaction to that. It struggled at first, but after realizing that struggling wouldn't be able to help it, it shrank its head and limbs all into the shell.
Lin Qiao glanced at the turtle and decided to ask Wu Chengyue for the turtle later. He could have the energy nucleus, but she wanted to keep the turtle's body.
As Lin Qiao was waiting for the water to ebb, Wu Chengyue and the others were waiting outside for her to come out. At the same time, Heilong Base had fallen into a miserable state.
"Has Gao Haoyun left? Did he really give up on this place?" In the underground conference room, Du Kunsheng looked at the large screen in the front of the room with a long face.
The screen was divided into over ten parts, each showing a different image. On the screen, were the ruins and smokes of gunpowder left after the war. Buildings were devastated, trees were broken; black smoke was drifting everywhere. Not a single human being could be found from the images.
Countless zombies were wandering in the base.
Apart from Du Kunsheng, some other base administrators were also in the conference room.
"They took the helicopters and left from here just now. Chief Gao… Gao Haoyun left by helicopter too," A man in army suit stood before the screen as he pointed at one small screen and said with a depressed look.
Du Kunsheng fixed his cold eyes on that small screen. After a long silence, he said with a deep voice, "Who else wants to leave? You can leave now. This is your last chance. The underground base will soon be sealed, for a month at least."
He said a month at least, because the food stored in the underground base was only able to last the people there for a month. After a month, if the zombies were still in the base, they would have to face the endless zombie crowd again to look for food and survive.
"We're not leaving! We will stay… for a month at least! Maybe these zombies will soon leave!" Some people shook their heads determinedly.
"What if they never leave?" Du Kunsheng said with a serious look, and a dry and deep voice.
"We'll see." Someone sighed.
Currently, there was an underground base to keep them safe. The people there didn't want to leave, and they would not leave until the last minute.
Gao Haoyun and his surviving subordinates were heading toward Huaxia Base on helicopters.
Not long after they left, Mo Yan and his zombies began falling back. The zombies that followed him were all high-leveled ones. The ordinary ones were still wandering in Heilong Base aimlessly.
Clearing out those ordinary zombies was an easy job for Du Kunsheng. He only needed some time to create a large zombie-free zone.
At that time, meaningful expressions could be detected from the faces of Huaxia Base leaders, because Gao Haoyun was heading toward their base. Reasonably speaking, they should welcome him to join their base, as he was a powerful being. However, this powerful being had failed to save his own base, meaning that the massive zombie attack which happened in Heilong Base this time was terrible indeed. If that was a natural massive zombie attack, nothing should be worried. But, if it was caused by Gao Haoyun and some other people, would the zombie attack follow him to Huaxia Base?
Huaxia Base people hadn't yet found out about whether the zombie attack was natural or caused by people.
"If the zombie attack was started by a particular zombie, this zombie has to be a zombie emperor, or even stronger than that. Apart from that, quite some zombie dominators have also shown up during the zombie attack," Han Xiao slightly dropped his eyes and said.
His people couldn't find out if the zombie attack was natural or caused by people, but they found the traces of quite a few zombie dominators.
Only zombie emperors or higher-leveled beings were able to control zombie dominators. If it were a zombie emperor who started the massive zombie attack, it would be very likely for the zombie emperor to follow Gao Haoyun to Huaxia Base.
Huaxia Base wasn't afraid of that zombie emperor, but a zombie emperor would be a big piece of trouble for the base indeed. If a massive zombie attack happened, the base might have to pay a considerable price to get over it.
"If it's a zombie emperor, we might as well ally with the other bases and ask for some other powerful people to deal with it together with us," Wei Haichao gave a suggestion.
"I think that's doable. If there really is a zombie emperor, we can't just let it grow stronger and stronger, or it'll become a big threat for mankind. But currently, only Sea City Base and Sky Fire Base have the force to do the fight. The new base, Green Mountain Base, is too far away from us. I don't think they'll be able to make it here in time," Han Xiao nodded and said.
"Don't forget about Gao Haoyun. He is at level-eight after all. It's just one zombie emperor. Gao Haoyun, Wu Chengyue, and I, we are strong enough to defeat it together," Si Kongchen said expressionlessly.
The others glanced at each other. Having the three strongest superpowered men to fight against one zombie emperor made it feel a little exaggerated. However, that was the only way they could guarantee victory.
"As for those zombie dominators, the weapons we currently have can't kill them, but can stop them for sure. We surely don't need to worry about the massive zombie attack either," Hong Yijie, one of the chairmen who were responsible for security, said in a bland tone.
