novelThe Agreement is Made
| ← Ch.1299 | Ch.1301 → |
"Eh-hem! Alright, alright, that's the condition then! As long as you guys won't regret it!" Lin Wenwen noticed the bewildered look on Lin Feng's face and also saw Dong Xinxin look at her in a meaningful way. So, she hurriedly joined the conversation to try and settle the matter down. If someone asked more questions, her secret might be revealed!
"We won't regret it, Wenwen! We chose to believe you, and we'll take the responsibility for our decision, " Dong Lijia looked at Lin Wenwen with a smile before nodding at Lin Feng determinedly.
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Alright then! I'll have someone draft an agreement for you guys to sign. Um... Is there really nothing else that you want us to do for you guys?"
Lin Feng still found their condition unbelievably simple.
Dong Lijia and his sister shook their heads together.
Lin Feng sighed with relief and said, "Good! In three days, I'll hold a meeting with you guys and the leaders of the other hunter groups. The agreement will be signed at the meeting. In the next three days, you guys can take your time to see our base and have some discussions with each other. If you decide to stay eventually, you can sign your names on that agreement."
There was Base Number Two in the base. Many people knew about it, but had never been there, because humans were forbidden from approaching that area. The human residents in All Beings Base thought the reason why Base Number Two was so mysterious was that it was a military base.
To keep new residents from approaching Base Number Two out of curiosity or some kind of bad intention, All Beings Base managers would always state clearly in the agreement that the people who lived in the base weren't allowed to approach Base Number Two without permission from base managers.
"Okay, no problem!" Dong Lijia and Dong Xinxin nodded as they stood up and shook hands with Lin Feng before leaving the office. When Lin Feng and his little sister were left alone in the office, he finally looked at her and asked, "Did you say anything to them? They glanced at you just now when they brought up that condition."
He didn't need to observe Dong Lijia and Dong Xinxin closely to feel the weird way how they looked at Lin Wenwen. So, he could easily guess that his little sister had something to do with the reason why they changed their mind on their way here.
Lin Wenwen put on a serious look and said, "Brother, I've seen some future scenes in my head lately. They weren't good."
Lin Feng stayed silent, wearing a grim face, as she continued with, "I saw something related to my sister-in-law and you. From now on, you need to send some men to protect sister-in-law and Xiaolu strictly."
Lin Feng's vibe was disordered for a moment. He furrowed his brows and stared at Lin Wenwen as he said, "How can it be about your sister-in-law and Xiaolu? What did you see?"
"I saw my sister-in-law being captured by a group of armed people. I don't know when it'll happen, so I have told you to keep her under strict protection. Perhaps... it's because I brought too many people here this time, " said Lin Wenwen with a frown. This time, she brought over thirteen-thousand people to the base. She couldn't guarantee that there weren't spies among them.
However, she could not turn Dong Lijia and all the others down for that reason. She was worried that some of those people might cause trouble, so she spoke to Lin Feng that way. The latter dropped his eyelids and gave a sigh, "Indeed, there're over thirteen-thousand people. Even their leaders can't know if any of them is working for the enemy."
"What else did you see?" He raised his head and asked Lin Wenwen another question.
Lin Wenwen shook her head and said, "No, but I have a feeling that something big is going to happen, and that it's gonna be about our base... I've thought about it carefully. I think it'll probably have something to do with my sister's true identity, the zombie army, or our farm."
Those three secrets were the biggest secrets of All Beings Base. If even one of them leaked, All Beings Base would have to face the doubts coming from the entire mankind.
Lin Feng understood her meaning. He nodded and did not look as worried as Lin Wenwen anymore."We have plans for that kind of situation, no matter which one of those three secrets might leak. You don't need to worry too much about that. In the worst-case scenario, we'll be independent. What can they possibly do to us? Did you say something to your friends for that cause?"
Lin Wenwen sat down and nodded as she leaned against the back of the chair and said, "Yeah. I told them that if something big happened in our base one day, they don't need to worry about me when they want to leave. Then, I told them that even if they chose to leave, I hope they wouldn't become our enemy."
Lin Feng looked at her and stayed silent for two seconds before nodding knowingly, "I understand. They don't know about our secrets yet. They might have problems accepting it when they find out that we have so many zombies in our base."
They thought they had come to a human base from another one. What they didn't know was that they were about to join a zombie base instead of a human base. They would be living together with a great number of medium to high leveled zombies while knowing nothing about that. They might feel deceived and betrayed when they found out the truth.
"Yeah, so I warned them in advance. However, Dong Xinxin thought I wanted to cast them out. I wonder what she's thinking, " said Lin Wenwen helplessly.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and looked at her with confusion as he said, "Does she really trust you so much? You've warned her like that, but she still brought up such a condition. By doing that, she was trying to bind herself and all the other people together with the base. Isn't that too reckless? Why did she do that?"
Thinking about that, he felt that Dong Xinxin seemed to trust Lin Wenwen a little too much. Wasn't she worried that she might regret her decision someday? She herself might not regret, but what about the others in her group?
Lin Feng wondered how his little sister managed to make Dong Xinxin and the others follow her with such great loyalty.
Lin Wenwen shrugged and said, "I think she did that to make sure that she'll be able to help us in the future. She was an unsophisticated girl who valued friendship greatly. After experiencing the apocalypse, she grew mature and tended to trust the people whom she believed were trustworthy, even more than she would ever before. The warning I gave her before might have made her realize that our base might be in some kind of trouble in the future."
Judging by the fact that Dong Xinxin and her people had spent seven years waiting for her, Lin Wenwen figured that she was a rather stubborn person. Once she made up her mind, she wouldn't change it easily.
