Zombie Sister Strategy - Chapter 1417 - Underground Creatures Make a Move
Si Kongchen was right. After he released his vibe, the underground creatures near Huaxia Base never dared to make a single step forward.
He looked where Lin Qiao had disappeared from earlier, believing that she was still there!
The others were busy finding out ways fending against underground creatures, but he wasn’t worried about that. He believed that as long as he, a level-nine being, stayed on the scene, those creatures wouldn’t have the guts to invade the base. Even if they did attack the base, there would be weapons prepared exclusively for them.
His attention was focused on Lin Qiao at the moment. He doubted that she could hide in her space forever. He believed that she must have known about the current critical situation already, and that she wouldn’t want to stay in her space for long.
She was definitely worried about her own base, Si Kongchen thought.
Lin Qiao had, indeed, thought about the safety of her own base. However, she wasn’t very worried about it. She wondered how long he would stay outside waiting for her.
While she was staying in her space without worrying too much about her base, Si Kongchen was staying near the spot where she had disappeared from, waiting for her to come out. In the meanwhile, countless underground creatures were staying quietly around the base.

The underground creatures outside Sea City Base and All Beings Base weren’t as quiet as the ones near Huaxia Base. They stayed around ten miles away from the bases, and the longer they waited, the more agitated they got.
They were starving! They wanted food! They didn’t want to keep eating earth!
Under the leadership of the high-leveled ones, the low-leveled ones weren’t allowed to leave their spots. After eating up the plants in the surrounding, they had no other choice but to eat the earth. The mountains had even shrunk after they showed up.
After spending a few days observing carefully, the underground creatures near All Beings Base and Sea City Base finally started approaching the zombie crowds surrounding the base, albeit very slowly.
Those zombies were all at the lowest levels, and the strongest ones among them were at merely level-two. The ordinary zombies and the level-one ones weren’t able to sense danger, so they ignored those underground creatures which were approaching them.
The level-two ones had sensed the danger coming, so they started running and hiding in a flurry. However, they were forbidden from leaving by Lin Kui, Qiu Lili, and the other high-leveled zombies.
Sea City Base had two strings in its bow. While keeping a close eye on the underground creatures outside the base, they made contact with Green Mountain Base and brought Dong Xiaowei to their base.
“I’m so impressed. You came up with such a smart idea – feeding them with zombies. But, what about those high-leveled ones? Those are smart and picky! They’re not as easy to deal with as the low-leveled ones,” Ye Yingyue, who came along with Dong Xiaowei, stood on top of a building in the outer sector of Sea City Base and looked outside the base while talking to Kong Qingming.
Kong Qingming shook his head and said, “Oh, we didn’t come up with that idea. All Beings Base did. We just borrowed it from them.”
Upon hearing that, Ye Yingyue nodded and said, “Oh, I see. But, how come I feel that you won’t be needing my Chief’s help at all? Si Kongchen is refusing to leave his own base at the moment. Will he come here to attack you guys?”
Kong Qingming rested both hands in the pockets of his camouflage pants and glanced at her, “I don’t know. After all, he’s spent a long time planning on attacking us. I don’t think he’ll give up so easily. However, I guess he won’t leave his base until he has found Chief Lu. After all, leaving that troublemaker in his base alone doesn’t sound smart at all!”
Hearing him call Lin Qiao ‘troublemaker’, Ye Yingyue laughed. Kong Qingming was right, actually. For Si Kongchen, Lin Qiao was exactly a troublemaker!
“Si Kongchen is pissed off, isn’t he? Quite a few of his arsenals have exploded, and his soil-less farm is destroyed as well. He’s suffered such severe losses!” Ye Yingyue’s round face wore a grin, showing a pair of dimples and her white, shiny teeth. She had an adorable pair of canine teeth.
That gloating grin on her face made Kong Qingming smile. “Yeah,” he said, “He’s infuriated. I’d have vomited blood if I were him! Chief Lu is really good at making trouble!”
He still remembered what had happened when Lin Qiao returned to Sea City Base for the first as a zombie. She exposed Yang Chao’s evil deeds and killed his entire family.
“Chief Lu might be in an unideal situation now, but she’s buying us time. If Si Kongchen showed up here right when those underground creatures attacked, your base might be in serious trouble,” said Ye Yingyue with a complicated look.
Kong Qingming stayed silent. Ye Yingyue had no idea if he agreed with her or not.
At that very moment, one of his men ran up to him in haste, saying, “Boss, those underground creatures have started making moves!”
Kong Qingming and Ye Yingyue glanced at each other and then leaped off the roof together. Instead of heading toward the outside, they went to the commanding center.
Sitting in the conference room in the commanding center were Wu Chengyue and some other people. They were waiting for the scouts to bring back the latest news. Before those creatures started making moves, Wu Chengyue required his soldiers to return to the commanding center once an hour to report to him. As soon as those creatures started taking action, he asked the soldiers to bring back every piece of news as quickly as possible.
Wu Chengyue had hung a map of Sea City on the wall. The map was marked with the location of Sea City Base, the catmint circle, and the zombie crowds.
“They’re moving at a speed of about eighty miles an hour, not very fast. They’re about miles away from the zombie crowd at the moment, and they’ll be making contact with the zombies in a few minutes.” Standing by the map, Xiao Licheng pointed a pen at a spot a few miles away from the base and said to the others.
Wu Chengyue was sitting on the other side of the map. He raised his head to look at the map, and then he turned to the people standing near the door, “Keep a close eye on them when they make contact with the zombies. Come back and tell us what happens as soon as you can.”
“Yes, sir.” Standing by the door were the signalers responsible for delivering messages. After receiving Wu Chengyue’s order, they quickly turned and left, spreading Wu Chengyue’s words through the communicators held in their hands. In a few minutes, the latest news was delivered. A signaler wrote the message down in the communication room next door and delivered it to the conference room as quickly as possible.
“Here’s the latest message!”
