Chapter 201: She Has No Time to Bring Them In

Xiao Yunlong raised a hand to pat the sleeping Wu Yueling gently, then brushed her bangs. “Sure, she’s my G.o.ddaughter. But, you have to think it thoroughly before you do it. If you’re not sure that you can kill it, you shouldn’t challenge it. Or, you’ll get us all in trouble.”
Wu Yuecheng smiled at him, but didn’t say anything. Meng Yue turned back and looked at Xiao Yunlong as she said, “Alright, stop talking. You know that the three leaders of our base have all reached the same level now. He has to break into the next level as soon as possible. If the other two upgrade first, we’ll end up in a bad situation.”
Xiao Yunlong frowned slightly and fell into silence. Meng Yue was right; if one of the three base leaders entered level-eight, the currently balanced situation would be broken. If Zou s.h.i.+hui upgraded first, the situation of Wu Chengyue and his people wouldn’t be too bad, but if that man were Yang Chao, they would certainly be pushed down.
Wu Chengyue didn’t have to take the risk if he wasn’t pushed by the current situation.
“Hangzhou used to have a large population,” said Meng Yue, “so I think large amounts of supplies can be found in this city. If we killed the zombie king, we might be able to find tons of supplies. Think about that, we need something to look forward to after all.”
The motorcade kept moving forward, toward where Lin Qiao was. Tens of miles would only take them a short while.
Meanwhile, Lin Qiao was in an unpleasant situation herself. She had turned invisible, and the zombie king couldn’t find her. So, it went crazy and started attacking indiscriminately. Within the area with a radius of a hundred meters, huge lightning bolts fell from the sky.
The lightning bolts struck on the surrounding buildings, trees, and utility poles. The shattered high-tension cables flew all over the sky; the bricks and concrete blocks fell from the buildings.
Boom! Boom! Puff! Bang! Bang! Thunderous noises were heard without an end.
Lin Qiao had flashed into her s.p.a.ce. At the moment, she was standing by the lake with her eyes closed to observe the outside situation. She saw that the zombie king was rampaging, and was still looking for her.
‘I’m hiding in my s.p.a.ce, so what can you do? Blow whatever you want, do whatever you like. I have more energy than you anyway. You can just suit yourself,’ thought Lin Qiao. She couldn’t go out of the s.p.a.ce for now, because once she did, she would suffer a lightning strike. The lightning would still hurt her even when she was invisible.
The lightning bolts fell from the sky wave after wave like a rain. Lin Qiao guessed that when she exited her s.p.a.ce again, she would only be able to see the flattened buildings and everything else in pieces.
Lu Tianyi and the others were standing behind her, watching her face the lake with her eyes closed. They didn’t know what she was doing.
“Why did she suddenly throw us in? Why didn’t she bring Liu Jing and the others in?”
“Yeah? Why only us? Boss, what did you say to her?”
Lu Tianyi glanced at them and said, “That has nothing to do with you. We’re also curious about why she brought us in here. We hadn’t finished our talking yet. She suddenly went out and threw you guys in.”
Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming were utterly confused by Lin Qiao’s ident.i.ty, and hadn’t yet processed what they had heard from her. And before their conversation ended, she abruptly went out and brought a few people in.
“Did you discover anything out there? Why aren’t Liu Jing and the others in here?” Asked Kong Qingming.
Huang Shou shook his head and responded confusedly, “Nothing unusual… We were chatting by the roadside when she suddenly showed up and brought us in without saying anything. And then, she dragged the rest of us in. Liu Jing and the others were left behind. We have no idea why she didn’t bring them.”
At that moment, Xie Dong wrote a line on the notebook and showed it to the others—’She has no time to bring them in.’
“No time? Why?” Reading that, the others asked bewilderedly.
Judging by Lin Qiao’s movement, Xie Dong knew that she must have sensed something before she brought them in. Otherwise, why was even he dragged in here?
It should be some kind of danger.
Xie Dong only responded to the group of people by shaking his head.At that moment, Lin Qiao opened her eyes and turned back to look at them, then said slowly, “…King…”
Lu Tianyi and the others failed to understand her meaning immediately.
“King? What king?” asked Kong Qingming. Huang Shou and the others were quite disappointed by Lin Qiao’s dry and hoa.r.s.e voice. They imagined her voice being pleasant to hear, maybe s.e.xy and cool like a clear spring. But to their surprise, her voice wasn’t only hoa.r.s.e, but was unpleasant, even deeper than a man’s voice.
Unlike them, Xie Dong paused slightly, then looked at Lin Qiao with surprise while writing on the notebook—’Zombie king? Level six?’
Lin Qiao nodded at him.
The others also looked at the notebook out of curiosity. However, only Huang Shou who was right beside Xie Dong read the few words clearly.
“Eh? Zombie king? Level six!” He popped his eyes afterward. Then, he immediately raised his head to look at Lin Qiao and the others. Hearing him, the others were stunned as well, face filled with disbelief. They couldn’t believe what they had heard.
“Really!”
“No way!”
“d.a.m.n!”
“Then Liu Jing and the others…” only Lu Tianyi thought of the five people. Reminded by them, the others all turned to Lin Qiao. She glanced at them, then closed her eyes and found that most of the lightning bolts out there had faded.
So, she hurriedly gave Xie Dong a few hand gestures, then disappeared from where she was. Some of Lu Tianyi’s team understood Lin Qiao’s sign language, and some didn’t.
Kong Qingming understood her meaning while Huang Shou understood a part of it as well because they had both served in the army. Kong Qingming’s brother used to be a scout, so every time he came home, he would teach him a lot of the military knowledge. The smart Kong Qingming learned quite some military skills from his brother since he was little, and just like his brother, he was also a talented scout. Therefore, he had been responsible for intelligence after losing his family and joining the base.
Huang Shou hadn’t finished his first year in the army when the apocalypse happened, so he only understood half of Lin Qiao’s hand gestures. After all, he wasn’t in the special forces.
The others were either college students or young workers. So, only Xie Dong and Kong Qingming had fully understood Lin Qiao’s meaning. Huang Shou figured out that Lin Qiao’s gestures were from a certain type of military force, but didn’t know what they meant exactly.
