Yuan Tianxing had slept for a whole night before waking up just now. As he opened his eyes to see a strange ceiling, he automatically looked around. Only after confirming that this place was safe did he turn to the others.
Long Qingying was listening to the conversation with her katana carried in her arms when she noticed that Yuan Tianxing was awake. She looked at him and said, "Deputy Chief is awake."
Hearing that, the others immediately turned to Yuan Tianxing. Lin Feng, Lin Wenwen, and the other few stood up and walked toward the bed.
"Tianxing, you're awake! How do you feel now?" Lin Wen looked at him with concern.
"Yeah, Brother Tianxing," said Lin Wenwen, "you are covered in injuries. How're you feeling?" Looking at these familiar people, Yuan Tianxing relaxed his vigilance. He supported his body with his arms to sit up, then leaned against the headboard.
"I'm fine. Are you all fine?" He turned to look around and asked, "Where is this place?"
Lin Feng dragged a chair to the bedside, then sat down and said, "This is a room of a grand hotel, not far away from where we were yesterday. Your injuries are quite bad, so we didn't dare to travel far. Instead, we just found a place to stay for the night."
Yuan Tianxing nodded. He felt much better than yesterday, and he guessed that it was because he had had a good rest.
"Thank you. I'm fine," he said. "We can leave today if you want to. We should go to the Sea City Base first, then see what we can do. What plan do you have next?"
Lin Feng glanced at the others, then sighed and responded, "Be patient. We plan to let you heal first. As for the future… we are all who managed to escape. For building a new base, we're terribly short-handed. But, it's not impossible. We don't plan to join the Sea City Base, but we still need to find Li Zheng and the others. We don't know how many of them have survived."
Their first plan was to build a base to settle down. They needed to build a fence wall first, then find enough food and supplies. They were just a few people, so they wouldn't consume too much food and supplies. However, it would be a little difficult for them to build an over ten-meter-tall fence wall.
Even though Yuan Tianxing's earth power was highly helpful, he needed to heal before the construction started.
Yuan Tianxing thought for a moment, then felt that Lin Feng was right. So, he nodded and said, "There're too many zombies outside. It's dangerous for us, and we have a few injured ones who need help and rest. How long do you plan to stay here."
Lin Wenwen smiled and said, "Brother Tianxing, don't worry about zombies. Du Yuanxing, Lin Hao, and the others have cleaned the zombies in this building. We can use solar power in this place, and we have found quite some food. I think we can even stay here for one or two months. As for my brother, he's not injured as badly as you are. He feels much better now. In just a couple of days, he'll recover fully. We don't know what kind of water the zombie with the sunglasses gave him, but it did have strong healing power."
In fact, she wanted to tell Yuan Tianxing that since they didn't want to join the Sea City Base and intended to build a new base, the new base could be located anywhere, like here.
Last night, the group of people had discussed and decided to stay here for now, because this place with food and solar power was suitable for living.
As long as they built the fence wall, they wouldn't need to be afraid of zombie crowds.
"As long as the zombie named Lu Tianyu and his friends are here, the others zombies won't dare to get close," Long Qingying said abruptly.
After spending a couple of days with Lin Qiao and her friends, she now clearly know what they could do to ordinary zombies.
She believed that the zombie named Lu Tianyu wouldn't mind staying here to scare away the other zombies, since he wanted to help Lin Feng and his people.
Hearing her, the others had their eyes glowed.
They had all seen how the other zombies avoided that zombie when he was with them earlier on. If he could join them to live in this place, they might really not need to worry about the other zombies.
However, there was one problem—none of them knew about the few strange zombies. Those zombies showed up suddenly to help them, but they couldn't tell what their real purpose was.
Those zombies looked as smart as human beings. So, if they really had some bad intentions, it would be extremely dangerous for the group of human beings to keep them around!
The group of human beings just didn't understand why those zombies went all way to the South and then followed them back here. Moreover, right when they were in the worst situation, they showed up to save them. Why did they do that? What purpose did they have?
Lin Feng and his people didn't relax their vigilance against those zombies, and that was perfectly normal. Anyone wouldn't trust the people who showed up suddenly to help them without any reason. After all in the apocalyptic era, kind people couldn't live for long. People had become selfish for survival, and that was perfectly normal.
Therefore, if they wanted to use those zombies to scare away the other zombies, they would have to figure out who they were and what they wanted.
They didn't want another Yang Jianhua. They couldn't afford to be fooled again.
This group of people understood that they needed to find out more about those zombies, just not knowing how.
"Do you know where are they from?" Lin Wenwen looked at Long Qingying and asked. The latter thought for a moment and then said uncertainly, "I think they went South from Sea City. Since they've made a roundtrip, I guess they've heard something in Sea City, then went South to confirm it. In the South, they ran into us, so they decided to get close to us for information. It seemed that they knew we didn't know them before."
Lin Wenwen nodded and said, "Perhaps, they saved you and came here along with you to find us, because they were worried that we might reject them. They brought you here so you can connect them and us. I've never seen a zombie which is as smart as human beings before, and one of them is a scary zombie queen. If that female zombie wants to kill us, she doesn't need to spend so much time to get close to us. What on earth do they want?"
"He has been claiming that he's here to help you since the beginning. And he said that he used to be Great Captain's subordinate," said Long Qingying.
"They really seem to be helping us. But, why don't I remember a subordinate like him?" Said Lin Feng.
Long Qingying thought for a moment and continued, "Maybe you just don't recognize him because he's disfigured." The others glanced at each other and felt that it could be possible.
However, Lin Feng shook his head and said, "No, he said that his name is Lu Tianyu. I don't know anyone named Lu Tianyu."
"Maybe your memory is declining because you're getting old, so you don't remember him," Mrs. Lin made a joke.
