Chapter 1291: Give You a Heads Up
Lin Wenwen accepted the gasoline that Dong Xinxin gifted her. Dong Lijia seemed to have some misunderstandings about Lu Tianyu, but she only responded to him with a smile, without saying anything.
She looked at them and said, “I’m really surprised that you decided to come to All Beings Base with me once you saw me. Thank you for trusting me so much! Believe me, I won’t do anything to hurt you. But in the future, something that you might have difficulties to accept might happen in All Beings Base. By then, no matter if you guys decide to stay or leave, you don’t need to worry about me.”
Dong Lijia and the others glanced at each other with confusion and turned back to Lin Wenwen. “Why did you say that? Is there a big secret in your base?” Dong Lijia said.
Lin Wenwen smiled at them and said, “There are some secrets indeed. But, we’ll try not to affect your life in the future. We are building a special base that is not the same as all the other bases. I just want to give you guys a heads up, so you can prepare yourselves for what might happen.”
“Your base has been mysterious the whole time. It’s a normal thing that you guys have secrets. However, what you said has made me curious. I guess what you’ve been keeping are some huge secrets that even we might not be able to accept,” Dong Lijia looked at Lin Wenwen and said with a meaningful smile.
Lin Wenwen nodded and said, “You guys only have to keep in mind that as long as you trust me, I will never try to hurt you. But, if some big changes happen, you don’t need to worry about me when making decisions.”
Lin Wenwen tipped off Dong Xinxin and her people. After all, they spent seven years waiting for her without knowing who she really was, then decided to join her base without hesitation. That was enough for her to give them that warning in advance. After all, not everyone could accept the existence of a group of zombies who were stronger than human beings and had memories, sanity, and wisdom.
The first thing they would think about the zombie army would be how harmful they could be for the mankind. That was why she told Dong Xinxin and her people that if the zombie base’s secret was leaked one day, they could choose to leave without worrying about her, as long as they wouldn’t…
“And, if you chose to leave, I hope you wouldn’t become our enemies.” Thinking about that possibility, Lin Wenwen felt upset. She stopped moving and stood beside those gasoline buckets as she turned her head back to look at Dong Xinxin and the boys. A cautious look was detected from her eyes, along with trust and a slight trace of begging.
Even if they couldn’t be friends, she didn’t want to be enemies with them.
Seeing the look in Lin Wenwen’s eyes, the four wore a serious look. What she was talking about sounded important. Would that even cause them to become enemies?
Lin Wenwen’s words threw everyone on the scene into a solemn atmosphere, and they looked at each other silently.
“Oi, we haven’t even gotten into your base yet. Are you trying to drive us away already?” A short while later, Luo Yuanjun broke the silence with a joke.
Lin Wenwen smiled bitterly and said, “I’m not trying to drive you away. I just want to give you a heads up about what might happen in the future. I’d be so happy if you eventually decided to stay! However, it’s your right to choose, and I won’t force you guys. But, there are some things that might really be hard for you to accept.”
When Lin Wenwen first learned that Lu Tianyu was a zombie, and was also her dead sister, she was so shocked that she couldn’t even believe it. It did take her and her family some time to accept the current Lin Qiao.
“That won’t happen. Since we have already decided to join your base, I think we will never leave. Also, I have a hunch that our decision won’t be wrong this time. Can you see the future about any of us?” Dong Xinxin said to Lin Wenwen with a serious look on her face.
“No,” Lin Wenwen shook her head and said.
Dong Xinxin waved her hand and said, “See! You can’t see any future related to us, meaning that our relations.h.i.+p won’t end up too unwell. Besides, I trust you. I know that at the very least, you won’t try to hurt us.”
She really trusted Lin Wenwen, as she shared the same body with her for three months. During that period of time, she learned that Lin Wenwen was not a bad person. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have determinedly waited seven years for her.
The three boys nodded together and said, “Yeah. We’ll do whatever Xinxn says.”
Lin Wenwen said to the three of them, “Can you guys please not be so obviously obedient to her? I can’t even bear watching this.”
Dong Xinxin shrugged helplessly, “I have no way of changing that. Ever since the apocalypse happened, they’ve been following my exact words like psychopaths. They don’t have their own opinions at all. Young Master Luo even needed my permission to go to the toilet at first. If I ignored him, he’d drag me to the toilet with him…”
“Ahyaya, let’s not talk about the past!” Hearing Dong Xinxin mention the embarra.s.sing thing that he had done seven years ago, Luo Yuanjun immediately shouted out loud to interrupt her.
“Oh, yeah! I was going to kick his a.s.s so hard!” Standing behind Dong Xinxin, Dong Lijia agreed with his sister with a grin.
“Enough! Enough! You two! Don’t I deserve some respect?” Luo Yuanjun felt both annoyed and ashamed, so he turned and pounced on Dong Lijia, who was behind Deng Chenfei. The other turned his body and easily dodged his attack, and then continued, “You have no idea how badly he was scared by his zombie dad. He was almost dying when he came to find us.”
Lin Wenwen nodded knowingly as she turned and continued putting the gasoline into her s.p.a.ce. In the meantime, she said, “I know. Everyone was freaked out at that time. It was normal.”
During those couple of days, everybody was in a panic. No one could stay calm when they were attacked by their families, who had turned into zombies.
As Lin Wenwen was bringing Dong Xinxin and a huge group of people back to All Beings Base, Lin Qiao and the others arrived at their destination. Everyone got off the vehicles and observed the surrounding environment first.
That was the suburban area of a small city in Henan Province. The natural environment in that area had changed drastically: what people saw was a post-disaster scene. The earth had cracked, and upon close observation, one would find that all the cracks on the earth were pointing in one direction.
After getting onto the highest spot in that area and locating the entrance to the underground realm, everyone started sharing their plans.
The people from Sea City Base and All Beings Base planned to act together, and the ones from Green Mountain Base decided to join them. The team from Heilong Base planned to act alone.
Meanwhile, Mongols Base people decided to follow the team from Huaxia Base.
