Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Feng and the others all knew that Lin Qiao had searched through the Upper City District recently. She had collected all the supplies, and then began gathering zombies. They had no idea what she had gathered those level-four zombies for.

On that day, upon seeing that Lin Qiao had let those zombies out of her space to dig sweet potatoes, Yuan Tianxing and the others could no longer remain calm. From time to time, a few people would come over to watch those level-four zombies squatting on the ground and digging sweet potatoes. They would also ask questions to Qiu Lili, who was sitting on a tree nearby.

“So, is she going to let these zombies dig all the mutated sweet potatoes out of the ground?” Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying stood under the tree as they glanced up at Qiu Lili, then turned to those trees.

Qiu Lili sat on the tree, swinging her legs while nodding and responding, “Yeah!”

“How did she come up with this idea?” said Lin Wenwen with surprise, “She actually made these zombies dig sweet potatoes! Will she also make them do farm work for us?”

Qiu Lili lowered her head to give Lin Wenwen a glance, then thought for a second and responded, “That’s… possible.”

Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying didn’t know what to say.

Soon, all the people from the old Hades Base learned that Lin Qiao, the zombie sister, was leading a group of zombie followers and digging sweet potatoes under a mountain on the other side of the district.

The people from Sea City Base didn’t know about that yet. They hadn’t found out yet that Lin Qiao was a zombie, and neither did they know that Lin Qiao, who often disappeared mysteriously, had actually been in Mount Wu area.

Currently, they spent every day tearing walls down, sorting and carrying bricks, mixing cement, or building the fence wall. The first batch of soldiers and commoners who came here from Sea City Base were provided with good food every day, and had a lot of work to do. Gradually, they started to like the fulfilling life in this place.

The second batch of people who arrived just a couple of days ago had still been adapting this life. They still felt as if they were dreaming. Some of them even wondered if they were having such a dream because they were too starving.

They had work which was within their capabilities. Those were hard, physical works, but were way better than fighting zombies out there. They had enough food every single day. Even though they only had two steamed buns and a bowl of soup in each meal, they were already very happy. After all, they used to be so poor back in their base that they could only have one meal in three days.

So now, most of them were focusing on their jobs. Except for the hotel and the construction site, they weren’t allowed to go to other areas.

The people in charge said that many zombies existed in the surrounding area, and that if they went to the forbidden areas and offended some zombies which weren’t under control, no one would save them.

For that reason, those workers would not go to any forbidden area.

But of course, among a group of people, there were always a few who had different thoughts, such as the ones who followed behind Huang Tianfei earlier and lied about their power levels.

They didn’t know about the identities of Lin Qiao and the others who lived on the fifth floor. They felt that those people were mysterious, and those mysterious beings made them curious. Their curiosity urged them to find out who those people were.

“Do you think… that woman named Liu Jun is infected?” At night, these people talked about Liu Jun in their dorm.

They guessed so because Liu Jun lived on the fifth floor. Her face looked almost the same as the faces of healthy human beings, but was ghastly pale, and her eyes looked scary. Also, they never heard her talking.

However, the others who lived here seemed to feel nothing strange about her. They talked to her, went to places with her, and showed no fear of her at all.

“Doesn’t her son look healthy? If she’s really infected, the other Hades Base peoplewon’t let her keep the boy, would they?” said someone.

“That’s weird! Also, the group of zombies which blocked our way when we came here… those zombies were weird too. Don’t you think so?”

“Yeah. I think those zombies were controlled by the zombie boy who showed up the last. They actually didn’t attack us, but let us in. Something is definitely going on between those Hades Base people and those zombies!”

“Should we sneak up to the fifth floor and take a look? The people who live there are mysterious, like Liu Jun. Maybe, we can kidnap her son and force her to tell us the truth.”

“That’s not gonna happen. She’s always with the other few girls. It’s hard to do things to her without letting others find out. Also, we don’t know if she has a superpower or not. We’d be in trouble if we got caught.”

“Then, we won’t do anything to her, but only go to the fifth floor and take a look.”

“But… those people have strictly forbidden us from going there. We’d be sent out if we got caught.”

Those people discussed if they should go to the fifth floor and try to find out some truth. The more mysterious something was, the more they wanted to know.

That night, about four o’clock in the morning, a few of them avoided the soldiers who guarded the hotel and sneakily went up to the fifth floor. Once they went up, a ghost-like figure suddenly showed up on the dark hallway, right in front of them.

“You are not allowed to come up here. Don’t you know that?” Lin Qiao looked at the few stealthy people and said blandly.

Those people were freaked out by her sudden appearance. They pointed at her and asked with fright, “Are you… a human or a ghost!”

No one was in the hallway just now, but within a blink, she suddenly showed up.

Lin Qiao stood close enough to read their minds, so she couldn’t help but frown.

“Get down!”

Hearing that, those people stormed downstairs as quickly as possible.

Lin Qiao turned and went back into her room, thinking that she should kick those people out tomorrow.

Next day, early in the morning, when the few people were still in fright, someone knocked on their door.

Lin Hao stood by the door and said, “According to our agreement, you are not allowed to go up to the fifth floor. I assume you haven’t forgotten about that.”

The eyes of those people showed a lack of confidence, but they still refused to admit what they had done. “When did you say that? We don’t know. Also, what does that have to do with us? We didn’t go up there.”

Lin Hao stood outside the door with two soldiers. He looked at those people with a bland face, as he had expected that they would deny.

“You were caught,” he said, “Aren’t you gonna admit it?”

Those people raised their heads and said, “How can that be possible? Do you think that we’re pushovers? Are you trying to frame us? We are not pushovers!”

Lin Hao didn’t want to waste any time arguing with them as he said with a strong tone, “Last night, about four o’clock in the morning, the night guards saw you come down from the fifth floor. Cut the crap! Pack your things now and follow me. You better do it yourselves, or we’ll make you.”

Hearing what Lin Hao said, the people from the surrounding rooms all sensed a strange atmosphere. They opened their door and stuck their heads out to see what was happening. Some people from further rooms even came out and walked over to watch. Some of them were even wiping their faces with towels.

After the first person came over, there were the second and the third. Soon, many people came to this area and quietly looked into that room.
