“Drink? Why do you need to drink that?” Lin Feng and the others looked at him with surprise.
“Do you know what other ingredients it contains apart from Mama’s blood? It also contains Aunt Wenwen’s catmint, the black fruit that Mama brought back from the underground, and her lake water. You guys can’t drink it, but I can. It works magically on me, but you guys can’t tell.”
Lin Wenwen blinked as he stared at the boy and asked, “Are you what those creatures are scared of?”
On hearing that, everyone fixed their eyes on Teng. “Eh? So it’s you! What exactly is going on here? Are you the secret weapon that your Mama left us?”
Teng nodded seriously while saying, “Yeah. You are not those underground creatures, so you can’t sense the change in my vibe. But feel it carefully, and I think you’ll be able to tell the difference.”
That was the reason why the boy hadn’t been restraining his vibe.
That was actually a little secret between him and Lin Qiao. The boy was special; sometimes, he could predict the future almost as accurately as Lin Wenwen. His vibe was special as well, and Lin Qiao had noticed that since long ago. She discovered Red’s strange attitude toward Teng earlier when she brought the boy to the farm to deal with the trouble caused by her pets.
At that time, the cat seemed to be both curious about the boy and alert against him.
The mixture of Lin Qiao’s blood, the lake water from the space, catmint, and the black fruit could deliver some strange effects. That was Leng Xuantong’s newest discovery. The mixture could significantly better zombies’ physical conditions and improve their powers, making them terrifying for the underground creatures.
By accident, Teng discovered the mixture and found it tempting. He had a hunch that it would be good for him. Therefore, he asked Lin Qiao to let him drink a little of it. Lin Qiao wasn’t sure about it at first, but since he always had accurate intuitions, she agreed to let him taste it. She was also curious about what effects the drug could give the boy.
Once Teng drank the blood mixture, Red, who was near him, sprung up and ran away at least a mile away. Only Lin Qiao and Teng knew about that. Not even Leng Xuantong, who created the blood mixture, had been informed about that.
Lin Feng and the others carefully sensed Teng’s vibe. Qiu Lili and her friends detected the difference first.
“No wonder I started feeling weird when I came near this area, and that feeling grew stronger when I entered this room. So it’s from you!” Qiu Lili twitched her nose, tilted her head, and looked at Teng from head to toe with curiosity.
Lin Wenwen nodded with comprehension dawning on her face, “Oh, so it’s you! I can’t believe my sister didn’t tell us about something so important! So, those underground creatures didn’t march straight into our base because they’re afraid of your vibe, eh? But you’re weak, while some of those creatures are at level seven and eight!”
Yun Meng twitched her nose as she shook his head and said, “You’re wrong. This boy’s vibe is weak indeed, but it does give out a strong pressure. I think it’s because of Chief’s blood.”
“Is that so?” Lin Wenwen glanced at her with confusion.
Qiu Lili and Lin Kui both nodded, “Yes.”
As zombies, they felt things much more clearly than Lin Feng and the other humans. Lin Qiao’s blood emitted the vibe of a zombie emperor. Teng had drunk her blood, so a part of her vibe had turned into his. The humans weren’t able to sense it, but the zombies and mutated beasts could feel it more or less.
As they figured out Lin Qiao’s secret life-saving method, the people left in the square by them finally made their choices. They were frightened when they saw those talking zombies, but after confirming that the zombies wouldn’t hurt them, they started feeling curious about them.
After all, they used to believe that zombies were all like monsters, always baring their teeth and roaring crazily. It was such a new and fresh experience for them to see some zombies talking clearly and fluently.
After recovering from the shock, they thought carefully about the choice that they were going to make. Without food, they wouldn’t be able to survive for long in any of the larger bases, so they might as well take the risk and stay.
Chen Yuting and Du Yuanxing looked at them quietly without saying anything to hasten them.
The ones who had decided to stay, stayed in the square. Dong Xinxin and her people had moved to the side to make way for the ones who wanted to leave. The people who eventually decided to leave left the square in groups.
At last, about one-third of the people on the scene chose to leave. They still couldn’t accept living together with zombies.
As no more people were leaving, Chen Yuting nodded at Du Yuanxing and got on the podium before speaking to the ones who had chosen to stay loudly, “Thank you all for choosing to stay here with us. We assure you that the residents of Base Number Two will not disturb your life. They will not enter Base Number One, at least not until you have all accepted their existence. But once again, they are equal with us. So for the ones who will settle down in Base Number One, please stay away from them, just like how they will stay away from you. Here is a new agreement for you to sign.”
“I have a question,” Wang Jian looked at Chen Yuting and said.
“Yes,” Chen Yuting nodded at him politely and said.
“Maybe we won’t be hurt in the base, but as this is a zombie base, the other bases will certainly see us as an enemy. What if they attack us? Will you take responsibility for that kind of situation too?” Wang Jian looked at him and asked the question seriously.
Chen Yuting nodded at him, saying, “We will. Our leaders will come up with a solution about that as soon as possible.”
Upon hearing his answer, Wang Jian nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll sign the agreement.”
The ones who had decided to leave had left, and the base was still surrounded by underground creatures. However, those creatures didn’t have the courage to make a way in. As the situation was growing stable, Wu Chengyue summoned all the leaders of Sea City Base for a meeting.
He talked about one thing only – he would resign from his post as a Chief of Sea City Base.
The news from the two bases was soon delivered to Si Kongchen.
With a sneer, he said, “Great! They disclosed their secret themselves. I don’t even need to keep digging. They actually spread the news by themselves. Wu Chengyue has brought the Chief of Green Mountain Base to Sea City to guard his base, but he himself gave up on the base at this point. He is definitely going to help the zombie base.”
