Chapter 289: Change the Plan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Hearing Lin Qiao say that she had just killed a group of people, all the others wore a serious expression, looking at her confusedly.
“Please sit down,” Lin Hao stood up from beside her and offered her the chair, then sat on the windowsill. Lin Qiao sat down and looked at the others while speaking, “Just now, two groups of people showed up in the East, about three miles away. The first group was comprised of twelve robbers, and I’ve killed eleven of them. Their leader escaped, however.”
“Robbers?” This word gave the others a start.
“Are you talking about those man-eating post-apocalyptic robbers?” Lin Feng looked at Lin Qiao seriously. He didn’t miss the part that their leader had escaped. Post-apocalyptic robbers were all vengeful. As long as even one of them survived, that person would definitely come back to this place and fight a way to take revenge for his friends.
Moreover, they were all extremely cruel and heartless. Otherwise, how could they get used to eating people?
Therefore, anyone who happened to offend a robber or a group of them should better stay inside a base for one or two years. Otherwise, once out, he or she would be facing the robbers’ vengeance.
With a frown, Lin Feng asked, “Which levels are their powers at? How ’bout that leader?”
“The weakest ones among them were at level-four. The leader, the strongest one, was at level-seven,” said Lin Qiao.
“Level-seven!”
“Can you even force away a level-seven? Which exact level are you at now?”
The others were all shocked upon hearing that the robber leader was at level-seven. That was the level of base leaders! More importantly, that level-seven robber leader had escaped because of Lin Qiao!
Lin Qiao shook her head and gave and grin, exposing her white, s.h.i.+ny teeth while replying, “How can I be so powerful? I can only handle level-six and below. But, you may not know yet, Lili has already broken into level-seven.”
The people were shocked by her words.
“Wait… wait a moment!” Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Qiao confusedly while saying, “Miss. Lu, are you saying that Lili is… a level-seven zombie now?”
Lin Qiao smilingly looked at her and said, “Aunty, as I said, you can call me Tianyu, or Yu. You always call me Miss. Lu, which makes me feel distanced from you.”
Mrs. Lin paused slightly, then smiled and responded, “Ah, Tianyu… Eh, I’m used to calling you Miss. Lu earlier, so I always forget to change that.”
Lin Qiao smiled in response.
Li Zheng, who was sitting next to her, asked in shock, “So Lili is a… zombie dominator now?”
Lin Qiao turned to nod at him and said, “Yeah, she’s a zombie dominator now.”
“This is bad… The level-seven robber leader ran away,” Lin Feng said, “He’ll bring us troubles in the future!”
Lin Qiao waved a hand at him and responded, “Not necessarily. At least, he doesn’t know that I’m with you. Even if there will be trouble, that’ll be for us only.”
Lin Feng glanced at her and wanted to say something, but didn’t. However, he was showing a worried look.
“Don’t we have Lili now?” said Mrs. Lin, “We shouldn’t be afraid of them.”
Lin Qiao glanced at Lin Feng. She understood what he was worried about, “Aunty, hidden arrows are difficult to guard against. We’re stronger than he is, but we do need to prevent against any possible sneaky moves of his. There’s only one Lili. We’re safe around her, but we can’t guarantee that everyone will always stay with her.”
Being reminded by Lin Qiao, Mrs. nodded with agreement, “You’re right.”
Lin Qiao continued, “And, there is some other news. That group of robbers had made some kind of deal with a leader of Sea City Base. They were going to Sea City Base to hurt Wu Chengyue. Apart from him, they also planned to attack Yuan Tianxing. So, even if I didn’t kill them, they would come for us.”
As she said that, the others all looked at her with surprise.
“How can Tianxing have anything to do with it? The leaders of Sea City Base are Wu Chengyue, Yang Chao, and Zou s.h.i.+hui. Everyone knows that Yang Chao has issues with Wu Chengyue, but what does that have to do with Tianxing? Is it because Tianxing is seeking cooperation with Wu Chengyue?” asked Lin Feng.
Lin Qiao looked at him, then nodded and said, “Em, that’s one of the reasons.”
‘He also dated the prettiest lady in Sea City Base, so someone is jealous of him! We sent him to carry out a serious mission, yet he actually picked up a pretty lady.’ Lin Qiao said in her head.
“Those robbers were…” Lin Feng looked at her and continued.
“They were rather strong,” said Lin Qiao, “I guess, Yang Chao wants them to kill Wu Chengyue for him in secret, so he wouldn’t need to do the dirty job himself. As for what he promised those robbers, I don’t know if he’s planning to keep his word or not. But, if I were him, I wouldn’t let those robbers join my base.”
If Yang Chao was smart enough, he wouldn’t let a man who might become his new enemy join his base, right after taking out his old enemy… Not to mention the fact that the robber leader was at an equivalent level as him.
Lin Feng nodded as he agreed with Lin Qiao.
“So, you said that we need to change our plan. Are we going to find Deputy Chief first?” asked Li Zheng.
Lin Qiao nodded and replied, “Yes, we’ll head straight to Sea City Base, then help Yuan Tianxing with the recruitment. When we have hired enough people, we need to build our base as soon as possible. Once we have built our own castle, we’ll be able to defend against level-eight enemies, let alone level-seven.”
Lin Feng nodded and said, “I agree.”
The others surely had no objection either.
“When do we leave then?” Mrs. Lin glanced at Lin Feng, then at Lin Qiao, and asked. Lin Feng was looking at Lin Qiao as well.
Hearing that, Lin Qiao stood up and said, “Now! Everyone, pack your things! We’re leaving this place.”
Lin Feng nodded in agreement and said, “Alright, let’s pack up and get ready to leave!”
Having finished with the discussion, Lin Qiao turned and walked out toward Liu Jun’s room.
“We’re going to leave… Pack your bags!” She said to Liu Jun and Xie Dong after entering the room. The two looked at her with surprise and asked, “Why are we suddenly leaving? Did something happen? Is it about Lili’s vibe that we sensed just now?”
Lin Qiao nodded and said, “We’ve changed out plan. We won’t stay here and wait for Yuan Tianxing. Instead, we’ll go to Sea City Base to find him. After that, we’ll head to Upper City District together, to build our base.”
“Eh? Why?” Liu Jun carried Tong Tong as she asked.
“He might get into trouble on his way back, so it’s better for us to go and find him,” Lin Qiao stood by the door and responded while taking over Tong Tong from Junjun’s hands.
“Trouble? What kind of trouble?” After putting Tong Tong into Lin Qiao’s arms, Liu Jun looked at her confusedly and asked. Lin Qiao propped Tong Tong’s b.u.t.t with one arm, then said to Liu Jun, “Some people have their eyes on him. I guess they’ll make a move after he has left Sea City.”
