Chapter 1389 - Upgrade in Batches

Chapter 1389: Upgrade in Batches

That afternoon, everyone quickly jumped into action. Lin Feng selected three basic corps from the army in Base Number One while Qiu Lili selected a zombie corp. They gathered together and left the base for the nearest underground creature gathering spot later in the afternoon to deliver an ambush. They didn’t head to Sea City Base, because Wu Chengyue had made similar arrangements as Lin Qiao.

At lunchtime, Yun Meng left the base together with twenty level-six zombies from Base Number Two to hunt for nuclei. That night, Lin Qiao received the first batch of nuclei collected by Yun Meng and her team. Those were some nuclei from level five and six, belonging to zombies, plants, and animals.

With those nuclei, she started upgrading the first batch of level-five zombies. That night, Lu Tianyi saw a few level-five zombies standing near the lake in a line, waiting to get into the lake for upgrading. They went down into the lake as level-five zombies and came out as level-six ones.

Chong, whose full name was Wan Lizhong, was a zombie leader. This time, he was brought into level-six and Nine got upgraded as well. He was a troublemaker, but also a good fighter. Six had been keeping an eye on him, so Lin Qiao wasn’t worried that he might cause some serious trouble.

After upgrading the first three zombies, Lin Qiao started to lose patience. She came out of the lake and wrapped herself in the dark mist, scanning the rest of the zombies by the lakeside while thinking.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Tianyi came over and talked to her.

“This is too slow,” said Lin Qiao, “I need to do it more efficiently.” She thought for a moment and then pointed at the three zombie leaders, who were left standing by the lakeside, saying, “You, get down together.”

“Oh, you want to upgrade them in batches,” Lu Tianyi looked at her and said.

Lin Qiao nodded and said, “I’m going to give that a try.”

The three zombies glanced at each other, feeling lucky that they were all male.

Lin Qiao went back into the water. After making eye-contact with each other, the three zombie leaders quickly stripped themselves and unwittingly glanced at each other’s crotch areas with meaningful looks in their eyes.

Only after that did they walk into the water together.

In the water, Lin Qiao closed her eyes to sense the three zombies. After locating them, she dragged them down to the bottom of the lake using her will power. She was able to sense the three zombies, but the three couldn’t feel her presence. All they felt was that something was dragging them down.

Lin Qiao threw the nuclei to the three zombies and then used her will to instruct them to absorb as much energy as they could. At the same time, she focused the energy of the water, divided it into three streams, and sent them into the hearts of the three zombies.

Thankfully, it didn’t require many nuclei for zombie leaders to upgrade in the lake. Normally, three or five level-five nuclei and one level-six nucleus would allow a zombie leader to upgrade successfully. The energy from the lake purified the energies of the nuclei and allowed the absorbed energies to replenish the nuclei of Lin Qiao’s zombies in a better way.

The three zombies who had successfully entered level-six had been standing quietly in a line about ten meters from the lake, waiting for Lin Qiao to come out.

While she was upgrading her zombies, a red creature showed up outside the base. Instead of approaching the base, the red cat made a turn in the air and flew toward Mount Wu farm. Following the cat, a large black figure in the ground also flashed toward the area.

Bowwow and Black, who had been resting in the mountain area, immediately raised their heads, looking at the sky. Bowwow quickly sprung up and turned to hide behind Black, who had its body coiled like a small hill.

Black quietly glanced at the dog and then turned back to keep gazing at the sky. The zombies who were working at night all paused, turning to where Black and the dog were looking at.

Fox and Keng-keng, who were both at level-six, showed up before Liu Jun’s cabin at that moment.

“It’s the big red cat again. What does it want?” said Keng-keng with curiosity.

Fox, who had a round, chubby face, responded, “I heard from someone who went out with Chief last time that the cat followed Chief all the way. Does it want to be her pet?”

“Our Chief has a mutated snake, a zombie dog, and a running mushroom. I think it’s not gonna be strange if she decides to keep this big red cat,” Keng-keng shrugged.

Liu Jun smiled and said, “It means no harm anyway. Where’s that big dog from?”

“Oh, are you talking about that fluffy Tibetan mastiff? I don’t know where it came from. It likes to follow Chief around too, just like the red cat,” Keng-keng thought for a moment and said.

“No,” Fox shook her head and said, “I don’t think the dog is following Chief. I think it’s more interested in Bowwow, Chief’s dog.”

“Eh? How do you know that?” Liu Jun and Keng-keng both looked at her with curiosity.

Fox grinned. When she grinned, her round cheeks squeezed her eyes into lines, making her really look like a little fox.

“My hunch told me that! I’m a fox! That’s my animalistic hunch,” she said while grinning.

Liu Jun and Keng-keng didn’t know what to say. Fox did possess a very rare kind of animal power; she was literally a fox.

At dawn, the cat and dog would leave in a haste, and they would return at night.

Lin Qiao came out of her space to do her work in the daytime and continued upgrading level-five zombies at night. After spending three nights upgrading her zombies in batches, she had tens of new level-six zombies under her command.

That morning, she received the message from Xie Dong not long after she came to her office and sat down: Huaxia Base had already sent their people toward those underground creatures.

Lin Qiao read the message and said with a smile, “Come on, we’ve been expecting you guys.”

Huaxia Base had sent out a few teams toward the east, northeast, and southwest. Its targets in the east were undoubtedly All Beings Base and Sea City Base. In the northeast and southwest, Huaxia’s targets were Mongols Base and Green Mountain Base. Of course, Si Kongchen didn’t plan to attack Mongols Base.

Mongols Base had already chosen to yield to Huaxia Base, so the threat would be unnecessary.
