Chapter 110: Unknown Enemies Are Here

Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
Cai Hongqing woke up to find that he was lying in a room with closed door and window, surrounded by his teammates; so, he wasn’t too nervous. After shaking his head, he asked the two standing by the bed about what had happened.
“Hey, you’re awake! How’re you feeling? Do you feel waves of a dull ache in the head?” Seeing him sit up, Du Yuanxing asked.
Cai Hongqing felt exactly what Du Yuanxing had said. He paused slightly, the nodded and said, “Yeah. Eh? Is everyone else in a coma?” While speaking, he turned to the others lying on the beds.
Du Yuanxing sighed with relief, then said, “Then, you’re okay. Just stand up… you’ll feel better soon.”
Cai Hongqing looked around and found that he was in a large hotel suite. “Eh? Did you get us here? Didn’t you pass out?” He asked abruptly.
When he woke up, everyone else was unconscious except for Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying; so he thought it was them who moved the whole team into this hotel suite.
However, he also wondered how did the two of them manage to avoid so many zombies and get the whole team here.
Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying shook their heads simultaneously.
“No, I was unconscious too. She woke up before I did,” while speaking, Du Yuanxing glanced at Long Qingying.
Long Qingying glanced back at him, but didn’t say a word. Both she and Du Yuanxing knew that it was two zombies who get them here. As for how did the two zombies manage to do that, they didn’t know.
“Eh? Even you passed out? And you didn’t pass out too, did you?” Cai Hongqing looked at Du Yuanxing with surprise, then at Long Qingying.
He didn’t think that the scream of the spirit-powered zombie could be powerful enough to throw the whole team into unconsciousness.
“Eh? Did the writing zombie kill the big-headed zombie? I remember that the writing zombie had stopped the big-headed zombie.” While thinking about the big-headed zombie’s sound attack, Cai Hongqing recalled how it had pounced on his team. He and the rest of the team all saw that the writing zombie made a movement to stop the big-headed zombie at the last moment. That was the last thing he could remember.
While Cai Hongqing was speaking, Long Qingying who stood beside him suddenly had her expression changed. She blinked, then turned to walk to the window side and alertly looked out through the gap between the windowpanes. After that, she put her ear near the window to hear something.
“What’s wrong?” Du Yuanxing and Cai Hongqing were confused by her movements. Long Qingying frowned slightly and said in a serious tone, “I think some people are coming this way. There’re about… twenty of them.”
Hearing her words, both Du Yuanxing and Cai Hongqing wore a serious look and were fully alert. The latter immediately got off the bed and stared at Long Qingying.
Long Qingying spent a short while sensing clearly, then turned to nod at the two and said, “They’re coming for us indeed, and they’re not far away. Let’s just wake them up now.”
Once she said that, Du Yuanxing and Cai Hongqing began waking their teammates up by shaking their shoulders and slapping their faces.
“Wake up! Wake up!”
Most of the others had recovered from the spirit-powered zombie’s attack, and were soon woken up by Du Yuanxing and Cai Hongqing, except for two.
“Eh… What’s going on?”
“This place is…”
“Ah… My head hurts so much!”
“Zombie! The spirit-power zombie is attacking us!”
The people who just woke up had yet to find out what was happening. One of them still had the scene of the big-headed zombie attacking in his head, so he began yelling and struggling once waking up.
“What zombie! There’s no zombie now! Wake up!” Du Yuanxing pressed his hand on this man’s head and said impatiently.
“No zombie… Eh? What is this place?” Asked that man.
“That’s not important. There’re people coming at us. I don’t think they’ll be friendly. Get up and clear your heads!” Du Yuanxing yelled at the few still confused ones.
Hearing his words, the others instantly braced themselves up and began looking around. Soon, they had made their own judgments.
Long Qingying had been looking out through the window. As she expected, she soon saw some people moving in the shaded areas, surrounding the hotel building from all directions.
This place used to be dominated by the wind-powered zombie, so no other zombies existed here. The ones summoned by the big-headed zombie earlier wouldn’t loiter to this area so fast either.
Besides, Lin Qiao had kept Du Yuanxing and his teammates in her space before putting them in this suite, so no scents of living human beings were left in the air. Therefore, the surrounding zombies wouldn’t know that a few human beings were hiding in this place.
However, when Long Qingying saw some nimbly-moving people moving toward the hotel building, she also found a group of zombies which followed those people’s scents here.
After seeing those people’s clothes clearly, Long Qingying’s heart sank.
“It’s an army from the base. I think this squad is here to scout,” she said.
“Army? Why are they coming for us? We’re free to come out hunting zombies. That has nothing to do with them, right?”
Long Qingying looked outside, remaining silent.
“They might not be coming for us,” someone said. Hearing him, the others all glanced at Long Qingying and figured out something.
“Yeah, they should be here for you,” Du Yuanxing said while walking to another window to look outside.
At that moment, Long Qingying found that those people had stopped moving forward at the distance of twenty or thirty meters from the building and hidden themselves. It seemed that they weren’t planning to rush in and directly start a fight.
“Eh? Why did they stop?” Du Yuanxing had noticed that too.
“They’re here to scout. They stopped because they’ve located us. Now, they’re reporting to their commander and waiting for their next order,” Long Qingying said in a flat tone.
Du Yuanxing looked at her and said abruptly, “If they’re really coming for us, you should be their target. Why don’t you take the opportunity to leave now? You’re powerful, so they can’t stop you from leaving at the moment. If you wait longer, more powerful enemies might show up.”
Long Qingying turned back to glance at him and respond, “Are you sure about that? Aren’t these people guided here by the traitor from your team? If it is him, I don’t think these people will leave you alone even if I’m not here. Not to mention that you’re now holding a level-four zombie nucleus.”
Du Yuanxing didn’t know what to say, because Long Qingying was probably right. What she said was highly likely to be true. Besides, they hired Long Qingying as a fighter, and if they let her leave right now, they might fall in serious disadvantages.
