Chapter 845: Divide The Hunting field
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
‘How am I supposed to know where the place is if you don’t go with me?’ Xie Dong looked at his subordinate expressionlessly and thought.
“No, you have to take me there,” Xie Dong looked at the zombie and said firmly.
“Roar…” The wind-powered zombie immediately dropped his head, because Xie Dong’s words contained an order that he must obey.
“It’ll be alright. We’ll just take a look from the distance,” Xie Dong said with a low voice. His dry voice sounded attractive and less unpleasant as it was lowered. The wind-powered zombie had no choice but to go with him.
They went on the roof and then quietly left the base. Meanwhile, Xie Dong’s other subordinates had been sent to different directions to collect information.
Xie Dong and the wind-powered zombie drove quickly toward Fuyang District. One hour later, they arrived at somewhere miles away from the animal park.
While approaching that area, Xie Dong started to have a not-so-good feeling. After arriving, she quickly got off the car, then found a high spot and took out his telescope.
However, before he could use the telescope, he noticed that the earth in front of him was covered in something black. He saw a ma.s.sive, waving blackness. The trees at the edges of that blackness were falling and disappearing.
He had a very bad feeling about that, so he hurriedly raised the telescope before his eyes.
He looked through the telescope and then gave a start. He saw countless huge rats rus.h.i.+ng forward unstoppably, biting everything on their way. The pieces of trees and stones were left on the ground, being trodden upon by more rats.
The size of that rat group made Xie Dong’s scalp go numb. From about eight miles away, he clearly saw the rat group expand like thick, black oil. If those zombies don’t stop moving, All Beings Base would be in trouble. That was the nearest base from the animal park.
Looking at those giant rats, Xie Dong knitted his brows into a deep frown.
He looked around and found that the rat crowd was growing wider and wider. It seemed that All Being Base wasn’t their sole target. The rat crowd might have been expanding in all directions from the animal park.
Xie Dong thought for a moment, then went down the hill and drove to the other side of the animal park to continue observing. He needed to figure out where those mutated rats came from.
Lin Qiao, who was having a meeting with the other base administrators, didn’t know about that yet.
“I think we should start from Jiaxing City. We’ll have Zhe Province, and they’ll have Su Province. The line between Jiaxing City and Huzhou City will be the boundary.” Lin Qiao was standing before a whiteboard. On the board was a map of East China. She drew a line between Zhe Province and Su Province with a stick, dividing that whole area into two.
The way she divided the area might make some other people think that she was being arrogant. Why on earth would Sea City Base agree to that? Sea City Base was located in the South of Su Province and the North of Zhe Province. Both those two provinces were near Sea City Base, and were seen as Sea City Base’s territory. That whole area was run by Sea City Base. Apart from those two provinces, Wan Province was also nearby. If All Beings Base took away one of the two provinces, Sea City Base would obviously lose the resources from that province.
Sea City Base shouldn’t agree to that, unless All Being Base promise them enough in return.
“Let’s see what they’ll want in return first. We’ll try our best to satisfy them.” After all, taking away thirty percent of their territory was a little outrageous. If Wu Chengyue wasn’t willing to work with Lin Qiao and her people, he wouldn’t allow them to build their base in Upper City District. If it were some other people who made that request, Wu Chengyue might have beaten them off!
Lin Feng looked at her with a strange expression while saying, “Did you hear yourself? What if Wu Chengyue asked you to marry him? Will you do that?”
All Being Base people weren’t expecting Wu Chengyue to propose to their Chief before. Back then, they prepared a sufficient amount of food, which was currently one of the most precious resources, for Sea City Base. Any other terms that Sea City Base brought up would be negotiable.
But now, the whole world knew that Chief Wu from Sea City Base wanted to marry the Chief lady from All Beings Base.
Once Lin Feng asked that question, the others wore strange looks too. The way they looked at Lin Qiao changed as well.
Only Lin Feng had the courage to say that.
Lin Qiao glanced at him expressionlessly, trying pretty hard to maintain her leader vibe. “Do you think I’ll do that?”
“Eh-hem… In fact, I think it won’t be a bad thing. It’ll be two bases connecting through marriage,” Chen Yuting abruptly joined the conversation.
Lin Qiao said coldly, “Since they let us built our base here, they should have thought about how to divide the hunting filed. Besides, I don’t think Wu Chengyue is the kind of man who’ll entangle his work with personal life. He won’t do that.”
Even though Wu Chengyue acted a little shamelessly when pursuing her, Lin Qiao knew where his bottom line was. She also knew that he would not take advantage of her. Therefore, she believed that what Lin Feng said wouldn’t happen.
The others agreed with her. They all believed that Chief from Sea City Base wasn’t that kind of person.
“Em, I see!” Lin Feng wouldn’t tell her that he was just joking. He wanted to know if there was a chance for his sister to get married. She used to be anti-marriage, and he hoped that she could change someday.
His sisters and brother all seemed to stay single for the rest of their lives. Thinking about that, Lin Feng felt so tired. Thankfully, he himself had gotten married. Even his daughter was eight-years-old already!
The hunting field hadn’t been divided officially, and Sea City Base still visited Zhe Province pretty often. Hangzhou was not far away from Sea City Base, so Sea City Base people would inevitably pa.s.s through the territory of All Beings Base. Therefore, to keep the secret of All Beings Base, they needed another line of defense.
Except for the hunting filed, the construction work of the fence wall on the side of the zombie base was another work to be done. That work was going well. After all, the population of the base had now gone beyond ten-thousand, so the base was no longer short of manpower. The farm work needed to be accelerated a little. Lin Qiao had harvested the stored food in Earth Dragon Base, but in the long term, the base would depend on the farm. One other thing was that those people from Earth Dragon Base still needed to be observed.
The meeting was soon over, so people grabbed their belongings and left the conference room.
Lin Qiao glanced at the map behind her, thinking about Lin Feng’s question. She wasn’t a hundred percent sure about what Wu Chengyue would do actually.
A couple of hours later, she received Xie Dong’s report about the rat problem. For her and All Beings Base, that was not good news.
