Chapter 1331: You Need to Rest

Lin Qiao gave him a helpless glance. Alright, did the man not get the hidden meaning in her words, or was he pretending not to understand?

By ‘take care of Wenwen’, she wasn’t talking about the normal kind of caring! She was aware that no matter how much she wanted to fix up Wenwen and Yuan Tianxing, she could not force the two of them into a relationship. But, she honestly lacked confidence in her little sister. How long would it take that girl to win the man’s heart? Based on what she knew about Wenwen, she guessed it would probably take ages for the two of them to get there!

“Oh, how are things going on the outside now? Will the others be okay without you?” Yuan Tianxing asked Lin Qiao about the outside.

Lin Qiao nodded and said, “Hm, it’s safe out there, for now. Currently, we have no way to find out exactly how large this underground space is. The top of the entire space is occupied by a thick layer of mist formed with energy. Because of that energy, all plants there are very aggressive. Those plants aren’t at very high levels, but are much more dangerous than those on the Earth’s surface.”

She paused briefly before she put a hand on her chin and continued, “But now, we’ve already figured out why those underground creatures went up to the earth’s surface. They were cast out by a mysterious level-nine creature. That creature sent them out for no clear reason. We don’t know why it did that yet. We detected quite some dangerous vibes after we entered the underground space, but their owners are all far away from each other.”

Right after entering the underground space, Lin Qiao carefully scanned the area fifteen miles in radius to search for the vibes that made her feel unusual. She didn’t sense anything at first, actually. Only until the level-eight creature caused loud noises did she detect the other vibes in the underground space and the movements of their owners.

Those vibes all came from powerful creatures that made her feel threatened. Those creatures were scattered sparsely in the place.

The underground space wasn’t crowded, but it was very dangerous.

“Did you run into something?” Seeing the look on her face, Yuan Tianxing guessed it out.

Lin Qiao nodded and said, “Yes. At first, we ran into a mutated plant. Red scared it away though. We also witnessed Huaxia People encounter a fierce mutated tree. I took the opportunity to give them a strike.”

“Huaxia People are there too?” Yuan Tianxing blinked.

“We’re not the only base that is exploring the underground space. We came down together with the people from the other bases. Si Kongchen’s people attempted to play some kind of dirty tricks to hurt me, so I dealt with them. Si Kongchen didn’t only send people after me. Earlier, he also sent a batch of people to our base to cause trouble, but Lili and the others killed them. I think he’ll take some further actions against us and Sea City Base.”

Yuan Tianxing thought for a moment and then said uncertainly, “Will Chief Wu be able to handle it?”

Lin Qiao glanced at him and said, “Do you doubt his ability?”

Yuan Tianxing leaned on the headboard as he shrugged and said, “I’m not doubting. After all, Sea City Base isn’t as good as Huaxia Base in terms of both weapon and technology. Overall, Sea City Base is certainly the weaker one. So, if Huaxia Base attacked them with all its power, Sea City Base would be in danger. Chief Wu is a powerful man, but he can’t protect the entire base on his own.”

Huaxia Base might use some weapons of mass destruction or launch multiple long-range missiles at one time. Sea City was a huge base, so it would be difficult for Wu Chengyue to guard the entire base by himself.

“Don’t worry,” Lin Qiao said, “Si Kongchen won’t make such big move for now. He’s always been a man of small tricks. Before coming down here, we took out a batch of his secret warriors, and he was so upset. I remember him looking as black as thunder a couple of days ago before we came down. Based on what I know about him, I can tell for sure that he won’t give up on finding out the secrets of our base. So, I think he’ll try harder to stick his nose into our base this time and, of course, he’ll fail harder too.”

“He’s really persistent,” Yuan Tianxing snorted coldly.

Lin Qiao stood up and said, “Alright. You’ve woken up, but you still need to rest. You should have sensed your own condition already.”

Yuan Tianxing nodded at her. Then, he looked at her and said, “Thank you!”

Lin Qiao sighed, “You’re welcome. You know, if you died, I’d be in trouble. You need to stay alive to help me run the base.”

After saying that, she gave him a smile and spread her arms.

“I guess I’ll have work for you all my life,” said Yuan Tianxing helplessly.

“I think so. But, it’ll be fine if you don’t want to work for me. I’ll let you go as long as you find me someone who can take your place,” Lin Qiao said jokingly and then disappeared.

Exiting her space, she found the others staying where they were quietly.

They had managed to figure out why those underground creatures went up to the earth’s surface. Summoning them back to the underground world didn’t seem possible. How could anyone possibly make a level-nine creature follow the order from human beings and summon back all the underground creatures which it sent out earlier?

If anyone attempted to do that, the level-nine creature might respond to that person with a fierce claw strike!

As there was no other way, the only measure that could be taken to stop more underground creatures from going up to the earth’s surface was to blow up every exit after pouring a huge amount of catmint into it. That measure couldn’t guarantee success though, because those underground creatures were totally able to create new exits. So, that was only a temporary measure, and couldn’t solve the problem for good.

The most efficient way to solve the problem was to find out why the level-nine creature sent all those underground creatures up to the earth’s surface. Only after figuring out what it wanted could people fight against its army with efficiency.

Currently, the problem for Lin Qiao to solve was how to coax the big cat into leading her and her people to the level-nine creature’s territory.

The cat tightened its ears immediately when Lin Qiao looked at it.

Lin Qiao gave the cat a glance before she looked at the others and said, “How should we convince this cat to take us to the level-nine creature’s nest? Any idea?”

The underground space was huge, and searching aimlessly wasn’t an option. The cat seemed frightened earlier merely because the level-nine creature was mentioned. Before it could agree to guide Lin Qiao and her people to the level-nine creature’s territory, the cat needed to conquer the fear.

The others glanced at each other before shaking their heads and spreading their hands. “How are we supposed to know? We don’t know it well.”
