Lin Qiao started focusing on finding solutions for the current situation of her base once she returned. After all, the secret of her base was no longer a secret. There was a lot of work for her to do. Therefore, she hadnt heard about Wu Chengyue leaving Sea City Base yet. On hearing his words, she turned to look at Lin Feng, who was sitting beside her.

Whats happened?

Wu is not leading Sea City Base anymore. Hes resigned, said Lin Feng.

Why? Lin Qiao looked at Wu Chengyue with surprise. He was doing fine as a Chief of Sea City Base. Why did he resign?

Once she asked that question, all the others on the scene landed their eyes on her. Their meaning was pretty obvious.

Lin Qiao didnt know what to say.

Um I dont think this was necessary. You can stay as a Chief of Sea City Base. I think we wont be affecting Sea City Base much. After staying silent for a few seconds, Lin Qiao finally spoke.

The most possible effect that might happen to Sea City Base because of the disclosure of All Beings Bases secret would be related to its partnership with the latter. Sea City Base could simply end its partnership with All Beings Base to protect itself. It would be fine as long as it had nothing to do with All Beings Base.

Would Sea City Base people attempt to attack All Beings Base? Lin Qiao believed that would be impossible. All Beings Base was their source of food after all! Those people wouldnt want to attack All Beings Base unless they stopped providing them with food.

If I stayed in Sea City Base, I wouldnt be able to come here to see you and Teng openly, said Wu Chengyue with a smile, Itd be meaningless being a Chief of the base if the base were to set boundaries for me, right? For me, my wife and children are more important than the base. Besides, Im not whats important for them either. Without me, they still have the base. Theyll still have food, a place to live, and Zou to take care of them.

All he wanted was to be with the zombie lady. He wouldnt have the liberty to maintain a close relationship with Lin Qiao if he kept being a Chief of Sea City Base. He would have to give up on her under the pressure coming from the residents of Sea City Base.

He wouldnt need to care about that if he were an arbitrary leader. However, he wasnt a leader like that. On the contrary, he believed in democracy. Therefore, since he wasnt able to convince all Sea City Base people to accept All Beings Base, he decided to give up on his base.

He didnt care about power. He became a Chief because he was the strongest person in the base, and people wanted him to lead.

Lin Qiao gave him a glare silently.Whos your wife? I havent admitted that yet. Can you please mind your language?

She didnt feel like debating about that with him in front of all the other people. That was a personal issue, after all. Currently, the first priority was to deal with the problem that the base was facing.

Thankfully, Ive grown quite some catmint in my space, and Ive brought back those black fruits. Those are still not enough, even though the human population of our base has dropped. I need to get back underground and find more of those fruits. Also, the level-nine creature likes strong opponents. If it comes out, itll first go for Si Kongchen or Dong Xiaowei. Therefore, we need to find a way to guide it to Huaxia Base, instead of letting it come at us. The news Xie Dong had brought back didnt surprise Lin Qiao. She had foreseen all that and had been thinking about how to lead the level-nine creature to Si Kongchen since long ago.

As for the poisonous mist, she already had a solution. She still had some black fruits left in her space. The mixture of the black fruits, catmint, and her lake water could keep people from being affected by the underground energy mist. That formula had successfully worked on the people who had followed her to the underground world earlier.

It was Red who found the cure for her at first. The lake water from her space was able to boost the energy of the black fruit. Therefore, it would take only a slight amount of the fruit energy to protect one person from the underground energy. If even that didnt work, she still had catmint.

So currently, All Beings Base only needed to face two real problems Si Kongchen and the aftermath of the exposure of Lin Qiaos zombie army.

That hole has collapsed. We need to find another entrance to the underground space. After hearing Lin Qiao talk about going back down for more black fruits, Xie Dong provided a piece of important information.

And we have to wait for those fruits to ripe, Lin Qiao sighed.

That can wait. The poisonous mist isnt reaching our base so soon anyway. Even if its already here, we still wouldnt need to worry about it, because we have the cure. So, lets not worry about that now and talk about when that level-nine creature will come out. Also, youve really pissed Si Kongchen off this time. He might even decide to attack us before Sea City Base, Lin Feng said while glancing at Lin Qiao.

His sister was such a trouble-maker!

Lin Qiao smiled and said calmly, I wanted to piss him off. He can come to attack us if he has the guts. Ive destroyed a lot of his weapons, so we dont need to worry that our weapons might not be as good as his now. Besides, since we have already unveiled our secret, I intend to let the whole world know about it in the most direct way. I didnt only want Si Kongchen to know that were not so easy to deal with, but also want the whole country to learn that.

Her zombie base was no longer a secret. The people who intended to give her trouble had to prepare themselves for the zombie army.

That was not Lin Qiaos long-term plan though. Her base wouldnt be able to depend on zombies forever. Human society was still developing rapidly. One day, humans might develop some lethal weapons against zombies, and by then, her base would be in severe danger.

That night, a wild level-nine vibe came up to the earths surface and spread tens of thousands of miles from its source. That was the strongest vibe that anyone had ever sensed.

Roar! The thunderous roar echoed through the sky. Si Kongchen, Dong Xiaowei, Lin Qiao, Wu Chengyue, Lan Lu, and all the other high-leveled humans or zombies received the monsters challenge.

Yes, it came up to challenge them!

Its roar delivered a message, claiming that the entire land was its territory. All living beings on its territory must follow its order strictly!

As the earth-shaking roar was heard, the underground creatures near every human base all turned and ran toward the level-nine monster, leaving their prey behind.

Its here, Lin Qiao stood on top of a building, looking where the roar came from. At the same time, all the others above level-seven put on serious looks as well, including Si Kongchen.
