"Eh? You have a sister? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lin Qiao sat on a couch in her space house and turned to say to Lin Kui with surprise.
Lin Kui sat on the other couch as he looked at her silently.
Lin Qiao immediately figured it out. "Oh, alright!" she said, "You didn't trust me, did you? Or, did you worry that I might find your sister and use her to threaten you? I understand! You didn't know me well after all. It's reasonable for you to be vigilant against me."
Lin Kui did stay vigilant against her. He was grateful to her because she saved him from Huaxia Base. But in spite of that, he could not trust her completely.
He had a family, and that was his secret. He didn't dare tell anyone about her, because he didn't want to bring her into trouble.
She was his sister, three years older than him.
Lin Kui had observed Lin Qiao and found that she was actually a nice zombie lady. She was not a very kind soul, but she had her bottom line and principles.
Especially this time, she fixed the throats of a good number of zombies, including him.
He was curious about her. Having two types of power at the same time was already a rare thing for, but apart from her space and the devouring power with that dark fire, she also had great healing power that allowed her to heal both humans and zombies!
She was ridiculously powerful!
"Before I got caught, my sister lived in Huaxia Base alone. I could only sneak into Huaxia Base to see her. One time when I got out of that base, some Huaxia Base people saw me. That's how I became a target," said Lin Kui with a deep and dry voice.
"Does your sister know about your condition?" Lin Qiao looked at him and asked.
"No. She thought I died since the day I became a zombie," Lin Kui dropped his eyes slightly. His deep voice sounded even more depressed than before.
Lin Qiao looked at him. In fact, he looked very young, only about twenty-one years old. However, he had a mature presence. Nothing but his appearance stopped growing when he died.
"Did you become a zombie when the apocalypse came? Are you the first generation?" Lin Qiao looked at him and asked.
Lin Kui nodded.
"Is your sister still in Huaxia Base now?" Lin Qiao blinked and thought of Huaxia Base's current situation.
"I don't know. I haven't heard anything from her since I got caught. She's most likely still in Huaxia Base," Lin Kui raised his head to look at Lin Qiao. His dark eyes which looked like the eyes of a cat showed a trace of confusion and helplessness.
"Thankfully, you are telling me about this now. Do you know about the current situation of Huaxia Base?" Lin Qiao sighed as she kept looking at him. "Mo Yan is becoming very dangerous," she continued, "Not long ago, he started a massive zombie attack and destroyed Heilong Base. Now, he's attacking Huaxia Base. Huaxia Base has asked the other bases for help, but no one will help them until the last second."
Hearing that, Lin Kui popped his eyes and stared at Lin Qiao as he asked her, "What? Mo Yan is attacking Huaxia Base? When did that happen? Why?"
He knew who Mo Yan was. That was the zombie emperor that he saw the last time.
He never thought that the zombie emperor would destroy Heilong Base and then attack the biggest base in the country. He was aware of how powerful a zombie emperor could be. At the very least, he was able to summon countless zombies. Huaxia Base had a strong wall and a lot of weapons, but those weapons would run out of bullets someday; by then, Huaxia Base would be in danger.
If Huaxia Base were in danger, so would his sister be!
"He is just taking revenge. Many Heilong Base people owed it to him. Gao Haoyun is one of his enemies. He ran to Huaxia Base and led Mo Yan there. Also, something seems to be wrong with Mo Yan. I just don't know what a zombie emperor might do when he loses control of himself," Lin Qiao also wore a serious face.
She couldn't even imagine how devastating a zombie emperor with lightning power could be when he lost control.
Lin Qiao thought of that possibility and so did Lin Kui, which caused him to panic.
"No, I have to find my sister right now! Miss. Lu, please let me out!" He was so nervous that he didn't even realize that his panther ears and tail had popped out. His tail was wagging quickly, making him seem very uneasy.
"You can't get into Huaxia Base," Lin Qiao looked at him and reminded him, "Currently, Huaxia Base is surrounded by zombies. They are now guarding the base strictly. It's not easy for you to sneak in."
"What should I do?" He looked at Lin Qiao anxiously.
"Calm down! If you want to get into that base, I can just enter the place by helicopter on behalf of the All Beings Base," Lin Qiao comforted him.
Of course, she did not have helicopters. If she needed one, she would have to borrow it from someone else. As for whom would she borrow it from… Well, that man was in her base right now, wasn't he? Even though she really didn't want to have too many interactions with that man, it was hard for her to avoid him, as there were always some Chief businesses that required them to communicate with each other.
Wu Chengyue was staying in her base shamelessly. Occasionally, Xiao Yunlong would send over someone and bring him back to Sea City Base for a couple of days. When that happened, Lin Qiao would feel a little relieved. But before she was completely relaxed, Wu Chengyue would come back from Sea City Base.
Now, almost the whole world knew that Wu Chengyue was pursuing her.
"Are you going too?" Lin Kui looked at her with surprise". He thought that it was his own business, and he would do it alone.
"Yeah," Lin Qiao nodded. According to what she had heard about Mo Yan recently, his condition was turning more and more dangerous. She pondered over it and decided to go and see Mo Yan in person. She would like to see where the situation would go. If it went in a bad way, she would make a move for the future safety of the All Beings Base.
She didn't care about the people from Heilong Base, Huaxia Base, and the other bases. However, she couldn't let anything that might threaten her own base keep growing stronger.
So, after so many days of consideration, Lin Qiao changed her mind again. She decided to bring a group of powerful beings to Huaxia Base and see what was happening there.
"When will we go?" Lin Kui looked at Lin Qiao delightedly. With her help, things would be so much easier.
"I'm going to do some preparations now," said Lin Qiao, "You stay here. It won't be long." After saying that, she stood up and disappeared.
After exiting her space, she immediately summoned Duan Juan and Shen Yujen, and told them to gather Yuan Tianxing and the other senior base managers for a meeting.
In the meeting, she systematically assigned the work that would need to be done after she left to those base administrators. Yuan Tianxing, Chen Yuting, and some others had heard about the recent news, so they weren't surprised to hear that Lin Qiao was going to leave the base.
