Ye Yingyue carried the plate and carefully walked into the room. The room was dark, without any light. The window was closed, and so were the curtains.

The room was simply furnished, with a hospital bed, a table, a chair, and a cabinet.

A man was huddled on the bed. Even though he had curled his body, he still occupied a large space. It seemed that he was rather tall and strong.

Ye Yingyue gently placed the plate on the table, then turned and looked at the man on the bed, slightly pushing up her glasses. With a soft voice, she said, “Eat the food while it’s still hot. It’ll taste bad when it gets cold. I’ll come back for the plate in an hour.”

Having finished speaking, she gently walked out of the room and closed the door.

The man in the room was in a hospital gown. He stayed motionless, with his head buried between his knees. A couple of minutes after Ye Yingyue left, he started moving slowly. He spread his long and slim limbs and stepped on the floor with bare feet, then walked to the table. There, he sat down and began eating.

He was the leader of the base. Before the apocalypse, he had severe autism. After the apocalypse, he was still autistic. However, he wasn’t afraid of zombies. In his eyes, human beings were even scarier than zombies.

Before the old world ended, he liked to hide in a sealed space alone. Now, he still liked staying in his room alone. But, he also liked to walk among zombie crowds. Perhaps, it was because he could no longer see people all over the world when he walked out of his room. Now, when he left the base, he would see zombies everywhere.

He didn’t like talking or moving. Except for the three chairmen of the base, he wouldn’t talk to anyone.

Lan Lu and another chairman of the base both possessed spirit power. Lan Lu had his special way of observation and deduction, and was sensitive to human minds. He used to be a patient in the institution.

Another chairman, Chang Qingqing, was a girl, about twenty years old. She used to be a nurse working in the institution. After the apocalypse, she obtained the spirit power, and was able to communicate with animals.

In her eyes, the autistic Chief was actually a timid little animal. Through patient communication, she was able to make him open his heart and accept her.

The other chairman of the base was also a patient from the institution. His illness was much more serious than that of Dong Xiaowei, the Chief. He had schizophrenia, and he always hurt himself. After the apocalypse, he was bitten by a zombie and turned into a zombie. After that, his schizophrenia was suddenly gone, and he even restored his memory.

Dong Xiaowei sat there and ate the food. After finishing all the food on the plate, he stood back up and slowly walked to the bed. Next, he lay down and curled his body up again.

An hour later, slight door knocks could be heard, followed by Ye Yingyue’s voice.

“Chief, I’m coming in.”

Following her voice, the door was gently opened. Ye Yingyue carefully came in, picked up the plate on the table, and then turned and left.

After coming out of the room, Ye Yingyue ran into Lan Lu, who had just returned to the base.

“Eh, Mr. Lan, you’re back! Why are you alone? Where are the others?” Ye Yingyue stopped walking and looked at Lan Lu who was with a suitcase.

“They have works to do. Have Chief had the meal yet?” Lan Lu said with a faint smile.

“He just finished the food. You haven’t had a meal yet, have you? You came back right on time,” Ye Yingyue nodded. She looked like an eighteen-year-old girl, but in fact, she was already twenty-five.

“Good, I’m hungry! I’ll be in the canteen later. Right now, I need to put this in a safe place,” Lan Lu glanced at the suitcase in his hand and said.

At that moment, Lei Cheng and others who were sent to carry out a mission by Lan Lu had encountered trouble. After leaving Huaxia Base, they sensed that the Hidden Cloud City Base people were under attack. They saw those well-trained zombies and quickly figured out where they were from.

They didn’t interfere, but watched the battle from a distance away. They were also with zombies, so they knew about the attack pretty clearly.

They were planning to find an opportunity to lend a hand. However, the opportunity never came. At last, they watched the female zombie who was the leader of the new base chase behind Lu Zhuofeng, the level-eight man. They thought that she wouldn’t be able to catch him.

So, they quietly followed behind the other Upper City Base people… no, zombies, to observe them.

In the end, they followed them all the way to Hangzhou. They were happy about it, as they were planning to pay them a visit. However, they ran into the zombie emperor who was forced away from the new base.

So, Lei Cheng and his people suffered.

The angry Mo Yan launched a violent series of lightning bolts at them and scattered Lei Cheng’s team. They didn’t know where each other went.

…

Lin Qiao exited her space and summoned Qiu Lili, Yun Meng, zombie number one to seven, and the other zombies in the base on the roof, then brought them into her space.

“This drug will enable you to eat animals, and will improve your body condition. If you want to have some meat but not human flesh, drink this,” Lin Qiao stood before the three houses, with a table before her.

Besides the three houses was an apartment block.

She didn’t tell them that the water would also generate a subordinative connection between them and her, because except for herself, no one else knew about that. Through that connection, she would be able to sense them when they were in danger. So, with that connection, Lin Qiao could take better care of the other zombies.

She wouldn’t make use of that connection to hurt or control Qiu Lili and the other zombies who had human memories. She would still give them enough freedom.

Liu Jun walked up to the table the first. Without asking any question, she picked up a glass of water and drank it up. She trusted Lin Qiao unconditionally. No matter what Lin Qiao asked her to do, she would do it.

In fact, she was able to eat other animals as long as they were soaked in the lake water from Lin Qiao’s space for a while. They didn’t taste good to her though.

“This drug will change some parts of your bodies. In mere terms of appetite, it will weaken your desire for human beings. It may also change your appearance, but about that, we don’t know for sure yet. After all, we have just started using this drug,” Lin Qiao explained.

“Eh!” The drug attacked once Liu Jun swallowed it. She looked at Lin Qiao while suffering a pain which made her entire body twitch, “It… it hurts! Ah…”

Finishing her words, she burst in screams.

“The pain will soon go away. You will be fine,” Lin Qiao glanced at her and said.

Qiu Lili and Yun Meng watched Liu Jun’s intense reaction and gave a start. With both surprise and confusion, they saw the latter roll on the ground.

After the first scream, Liu Jun gritted her teeth and stopped herself from making any other noises. Soon, when she nearly fell into unconsciousness, the pain finally faded away.
