Chapter 1157: Unknown Danger

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

That night, Yuan Tianxing spent some time thinking, then decided to talk to Lin Feng about it on the next day. No matter how, they needed to figure out what caused those underground creatures’ abnormal behavior, so they could prepare themselves for what might happen in the future as early as possible.

The next norming, he called Lin Feng through the interphone.

“Hey, what happened? What made you call so early?” Lin Feng received the call once he sat down behind his desk. Yuan Tianxing wouldn’t call him so early in the morning if nothing important happened.

“Yun Meng came back last night,” said Yuan Tianxing, “She said there’s a situation in the cave area. I asked her about the cause, but she didn’t give me a clear answer. I want to talk to you about this when you finish your works.”

Hearing Yuan Tianxing mention the case, he figured that the latter was talking about the underground creatures. His heart sank slightly, but as Yuan Tianxing didn’t sound very anxious, he guessed the problem wasn’t severe yet. He knew about Yuan Tianxing; he knew that the man would certainly want to figure the problem out.

“Alright. I’ll come to your office when I finish my work here,” he nodded and said.

After ending the call, Yuan Tianxing also started to do his work.

Last night, Qiu Lili sensed Yun Meng’s vibe comes back into the base and then leave again. She looked into the direction that Yun Meng was moving in with confusion. She didn’t leave the base to find Yun Meng out of curiosity though. Instead, she stayed in Base Number Two.

Yun Meng went to see Yuan Tianxing. If there was a problem, Yuan Tianxing would solve it. She didn’t need to worry about it. With that thought, Qiu Lili headed to Mount Wu area to check for the zombie army.

Xie Dong wasn’t there to discipline the army. The zombie soldiers weren’t so afraid of Liu Jun, who was assigned as the temporary commander. After all, many of the zombie soldiers there were at level-five. Half of all the level-five zombies followed Yun Meng to the cave area while Lin Qiao took away about ten. But still, tens of level-five zombies were left in the base.

Therefore, Liu Jun, who was also at level-five, was no threat to them. Only Qiu Lili, who was at level-seven, could scare them.

Thankfully, most of those zombie leaders had restored some of their memories and remembered some common sense that they had as humans. As a result, no one was giving Liu Jun a hard time.

At the moment, Liu Jun was holding a basket, picking melons from the field. As a white light flashed across her eyes, she figured out who was arriving. She turned and saw Qiu Lili sitting on a tree near the cabin. Nonetheless, she kept picking the melons. Only when the basket was full did she carry it toward the cabin.

She put the basket on the clearing before the cabin, then raised her head to say to Qiu Lili, “Mengmeng came back to see Yuan Tianxing last night. Did something happen out there?”

“Perhaps,” Qiu Lili shrugged and said, “I don’t know. I didn’t see her.”

Seeing her lazily leaning against the tree, Liu Jun laughed, “You look upset these days. Maybe you should ask Chief to take you with her next time.”

Qiu Lili turned and gave her a glance, then pouted and said, “Take me? Then she’ll certainly leave Lin Kui here… Never mind. He can stay here when Chief takes me out.”

Hearing that, Liu Jun twirled to her and smiled, “Is it because of Lin Kui? Do you like him so much?”

She found it pretty obvious when Qiu Lili liked someone. She could be quite clingy to the one she liked. Before, she liked Lin Qiao, so she followed her everywhere. Now, she liked Lin Kui, so she always wanted to be with him. That was totally the same!

“Yeah, I like his fur. If only I could cuddle him when I’m sleeping… He doesn’t let me hold him for too long,” Qiu Lili curved her lips in a smile when she was thinking about Lin Kui’s soft and smooth fur.

On hearing that, Liu Jun raised her head to look at the girl and laughed, “Sleep? You’re a zombie. Can you even fall asleep?”

So, was the girl seeing the guy as a cuddle bear?

Qiu Lili curved her lips downward as she looked down at Liu Jun, said, “I’m not talking about real sleep. We can simply cuddle and lie on the bed.”

“Alright, alright! You just want him to be your cuddle bear. I think you’re leaving Chief for him.” While talking to her smilingly, Liu Jun found an empty basket and prepared to go back into the field to pick more melons.

“What does that mean?” Qiu Lili felt a little speechless about the words that Liu Jun used.

…

It was already about eleven am when Lin Feng finished all his urgent work and went to find Yuan Tianxing. He walked into the latter’s office and sat down on the couch, making himself a cup of tea.

“What did Yun Meng say to you last night that made you so worried?” Lin Feng said to Yuan Tianxing while brushing the teapot. The latter sorted the files in his hands, then stood up and walked out from behind his desk to the window. He stretched his body, then turned and sat on the couch as he said, “She said that all those underground creatures have run out of the cave the day before yesterday, in the middle of the day. That’s abnormal, even though it had been cloudy and rainy these days.”

“What? Those gorillas ran out? Didn’t Lin Qiao say that she has brought the big one under control? Did it disobey her order?” Lin Feng stopped short and looked at Yuan Tianxing with surprise.

Yuan Tianxing shook his head and said, “They ran out, but made no large-scale movement until yesterday. Yesterday, they started hunting. Yun Meng said that they’re not coming toward us, so we don’t need to worry about that yet. I’m just wondering what made them abandon their home and run out. Yun Meng said that she had gone into the cave last night. Except for a river that seems unusual, nothing else was found.”

Lin Feng understood Yuan Tianxing’s meaning, and the look on his face started to turn serious too. “Are you saying that they might have encountered something that they were afraid of? Is that why they abandoned the cave and came up to the surface?”

Yuan Tianxing nodded and said, “That’s what I guessed. According to Yun Meng, they rather stayed in buildings or under trees instead of going back into the cave. Think about it! They seemed fearless before. Why did they suddenly abandon their home and run out? Why even the level-eight one gave up on fighting?”

Hearing his words, Lin Feng realized that things were really not as simple as they sounded. If the thing that even the level-eight underground gorilla couldn’t resist came to the earth’s surface, what consequence could be expected?

“Yun Meng said there’s an underground river that seems unusual. What’s the problem with it?” Lin Feng thought for a moment and asked.

“She said the river water smells funny. Her instincts told her that something is wrong with it,” said Yuan Tianxing.
