Chapter 781: The Second Batch Of People
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The group of zombies sat on the platform before Lin Qiao’s house in a circle, playing cards.
“Three queens and a pair!” Lu Tianyi showed the cards onto the floor and said with his hoa.r.s.e voice.
Pesticide didn’t even hesitate to let out the three kings in his hands.
Lu Tianyi rolled his eyes. He really wanted to throw all his cards onto Pesticide’s head. The two of them were a group. Pesticide should have let him pa.s.s and saved the big cards for the enemy.
“You and I… we are a team. Why did you attack me?” Lu Tianyi glared at Pesticide.
Jingyan didn’t say anything but pulled out three aces and a pair.
In the game, she was the landlord while the other two were farmers. She was the target.
Lu Tianyi buried his forehead in a palm and said, “I’m gonna pa.s.s this one, pa.s.s, pa.s.s…”
Only three twos or a bomb could win three aces. In their game, two was the biggest number. He didn’t have three twos or a bomb, so how was he supposed to continue the game?
Pesticide looked at his cards while shaking his head. He regretted letting out the three kings too soon.
Jingyan expressionlessly let out three sevens and a pair.
Staring at those cards, Pesticide wanted so much to pick up his three kings from the floor.
Jingyan glanced at him with a bland face and he quietly took back his hand. Alright, she was stronger than him!
Xiao-xiao was squatting behind Jingyan and watching the game. She was a little confused at first, but she started to get the points of that game before long.
The chubby Fox was sitting beside them on the platform, curled up like a ball.
With her elbows on her knees and chin resting on her palms, she murmured, “When will Chief let us out to have some fun? This place is so boring…”
Something interesting seemed to be happening outside, yet she and her friends were still trapped in their boss’s place, playing cards.
She didn’t s.h.i.+ft her shape, but a large tail was wagging behind her body.
Woos.h.!.+ While she was complaining about the boring place, a figure flashed across the air before her face.
She paused with surprise. Before she could react, she saw a furless zombie dog run over.
“Owoo!”
Seeing those two creatures, she figured that the other one must be nearby too.
So, she raised her head to look around. As a result, she found the bucket-sized head of the snake right above her, with its long, fork-tongue flickering out from time to time. The snake was watching the mushroom and the dog run around the group of buildings, the way people looked at idiots.
The three came out of the woods every now and then. The mushroom really liked running; it was like a kid with hyperactivity. Most of the time, it was swinging its roots and running about. Sometimes, it even followed behind the zombie dog to provoke the latter.
The brainless zombie dog chased the mushroom without thinking every time it saw the latter. Before, the dog liked to provoke Black and make the snake chase itself, and now, the mushroom was doing what it used to do.
At first, the mushroom would run out of the woods and damage Lu Tianyi’s crops. Lu Tianyi once spent half a day chasing behind it with a sickle. But of course, he couldn’t chase up those mutated creatures.
The mushroom liked to have people chasing behind it…
Some other zombies weren’t watching Lu Tianyi’s card game. They were either absorbing the zombie nuclei that they had collected or fighting each other.
A huge number of level three and four zombies were now living in Lin Qiao’s s.p.a.ce. As they all crowded together, there would surely be conflicts. As Lin Qiao had warned them not to fight for real, they could only run small battles. Normally, a couple of battles would happen every day.
The other side of the lake was even noisier than this side. The goats and roe deers fought every single day without stopping.
Earlier on, Lin Qiao had dug a pit a couple of meters away from the lake, then created a ditch to draw some water into the pit from the lake, so that those animals could have water to drink.
Those roe deers had lived in the s.p.a.ce for quite long. Some of them had already bred baby roe deers.
While the zombies in her s.p.a.ce were living a leisured life, Lin Qiao was also a little bored outside as she watched the group of chairmen of Huaxia Base bring the chaotic situation under control.
Si Kongchen and Gao Haoyun made few miles in the direction that Wu Chengyue pointed out, then sensed a strong vibe that was moving backward unhurriedly. Both of them were excited, and their eyes glowed.
Wu Chengyue was right… The zombie emperor was there indeed!
They moved faster, chasing behind that vibe.
At that very moment, a few figures leaped up from a roof toward the North entrance of Huaxia Base. From a long distance, Lin Qiao sensed them and identified them. Those were Green Mountain Base people!
Instead of entering the base directly, the group of Green Mountain Base people stopped at the edge of the clearing around the base.
Hou Guozhong, the Deputy Chief of Huaxia Base who had wind power, immediately flew out to find out who they were and why they came to the base.
Soon, he guided them into the base.
“Our Chief and Gao Haoyun, the Chief of Heilong Base, are out there hunting the zombie emperor. Chief Lan, are you going to lend them a hand?” Heilong Base asked Lan Lu with a smile.
Lan Lu was with three people—a doll-faced girl and two men. All three of them were at or above level-six.
“I don’t think they need my help. They’ll come back very soon,” Lan Lu shook his head smilingly.
Hou Guozhong looked at him with confusion. He didn’t believe what Lan Lu had said.
Si Kongchen and Gao Haoyun were both at level-eight, but he still didn’t think the two of them would be able to kill that zombie emperor so soon.
Hou Guozhong glanced at Wu Chengyue who wasn’t doing anything, then said, “Can our Chief and Gao Haoyun finish that zombie emperor by themselves?”
He was actually trying to remind Wu Chengyue that he should go and help.
People had stopped calling Gao Haoyun ‘Chief’ since he came to Huaxia Base. He had abandoned Heilong Base, so without a doubt he had given up his t.i.tle as well.
“It’s too late. The zombie emperor has gotten away,” Wu Chengyue glanced at Hou Guozhong with a smile, then asked Lan Lu, “You were nearby since long ago, weren’t you? You didn’t show up until you saw us arrive. Sneaky!”
“It’s because the situation wasn’t so urgent! Chief Si might have a solution. We were afraid that we might disturb him and his people!” Lan Lu looked at Wu Chengyue, also with a smile.
The two of them looked at each other, both wearing a warm smile. But, the others clearly sensed a weird atmosphere from between them.
Lin Qiao had also been looking at the two of them, sensing the strange hostility in their eyes. Last time when the anti-virus drug was on sale, they seemed to be on the same side. When did that change?
Speaking of the drug, Huaxia Base developed anti-virus drug not long ago. But, why was the base now surrounded by zombies?”
Lan Lu asked that question with laughter, “Don’t you guys have the anti-zombie drug? Why don’t you use it?”
