Reading the report that Shen Yujen brought to him, Lin Feng had his heart sinking deeper and deeper.
Earlier, Lin Wenwen and some others went to Lake Tai area to collect the mysterious stones. A good number of strange creatures had come out of the lake, and the squad that Lin Qiao sent back to that area to collect more stones had disappeared. Recently, some Sea City Base hungers found those creatures and brought the news back to their base. At the same time. the other bases each found some strange creatures from the underground.
The report that Lin Feng was reading now was about what those creatures looked like.
The creatures that came out from Lake Tai looked like both crocodiles and lizards while the northeast people found giant ants with two bellies and two-meters tall giant spiders. Meanwhile in northern China, people found huge scorpions that each had six giant pincers. In the southwest, Hidden Cloud City people found some four-meter-tall, ten-meter-long creatures covered in carapaces. So far, about ten of them were found. Those creatures liked eating humans! They could smell human beings from hundreds of meters away. They charged at the people they smelt and grabbed or stomped them to death. After that, they put the people on a giant rock, smashed their heads with claws, and ate them bit by bit. Those creatures' way of feeding was very bloody and scary.
It was said that a few people who witnessed that were still suffering mental collapse.
Some said that an invisible type of creature had shown up near Sky Fire Base. Those creatures didn't only eat people, but also mutated beasts.
"What the hell are those things? How come they came out at the same time?" Lin Feng agitatedly put the report on the desk and rubbed his temples as he sighed.
Did that mean that the whole country had fallen under the threat of underground creatures?
"Why is there no news from Huaxia Base? Didn't they find anything?" Lin Feng didn't read anything about Huaxia Base from the report.
Shen Yujen and Chen Yuting glanced at each other."Huaxia Base has itself sealed off strictly these days. We need some more time to get the news about them, " said Shen Yujen.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Does Wu Chengyue know about this yet?"
"I'm not sure, " Shen Yujen shook her head and said, "I guess he already knows."
Lin Feng furrowed his brows as he put his elbows on the desk and rested his forehead on his fingers.
Underground creatures were seen near many bases. However, those creatures wouldn't cause any huge problem, unless they were provoked. The space of survival of humans did shrink because of those creatures. If the situation stayed like that, the hunters would have smaller and smaller chances of returning safely to their bases in the future.
Humans couldn't be stuck in their bases forever.
Lin Feng felt hard to breathe, as if he were carrying a mountain. His little sister had gone missing, and the other Deputy Chief of the base was injured beyond cure. The outside world had become more dangerous than before, and his other sister—the leader of the base—hadn't come home yet.
Thankfully, nothing else was happening in the base. The people were living a safe life while the zombie army and the farm were kept secret.
"Those creatures are all from the underground, like the underground gorillas near our base. They are omnivores. Most of them prefer blood and flesh actually. And, the same kind of phenomenon occurred when they came out..." Shen Yujen added with a serious tone.
"What phenomenon?" Lin Feng raised his head and asked.
"Read the last paragraph on the second page, " said Shen Yujen, "Each type of creature brought out a kind of gas when they came out. Each kind of gas was a disaster for the living beings on the earth's surface. They created the death zones that I mentioned before."
Lin Feng turned to the second page and carefully read the last paragraph.
"Death zones?" Once again, Lin Feng wore a remarkably pensive look.
Not only did scary monsters show up, but also environment-damaging gases. Was the world going to end for good? Maybe in a hundred years or two, all the plants on the planet would die, and Earth would become a dead planet.
That was a little too far away though. Currently, people had no way of stopping those underground creatures which had been popping up to the surface. No one knew what was happening underground that made those creatures come out to the surface.
"Those creatures are coming out thickly now, and I'm afraid that this is not going to stop soon. More might come out. So far, many people have been killed by those creatures who like living human beings. If they show up close to a base along with a kind of gas that can kill all plants, the base would suffer a disaster even worse than a massive zombie attack, " Shen Yujen folded her arms and looked at Lin Feng, then a Chen Yuting.
The leaders of all bases would think of that, so another grand meeting for all base leaders might be called next. Of course, the meeting would be held for survival and the future of mankind.
At the moment, Wu Chengyue was hearing about the same things from Xiao Licheng. He was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed, reading the messages that the latter was talking to him about. Next to him, Teng was holding a nursing bottle while sitting on the couch with a sulky face. Wu Yueling was sitting nearby, holding the fat rabbit. She looked at her little brother from time to time.
The rabbit's hair had grown back even larger than before, becoming really heavy and fluffy. The gray rabbit dropped its long ears and curled itself into a furry ball on the girl's lap, almost covering her legs entirely.
"I think the underground problem isn't only happening to us. It's happening everywhere in the country. I wonder if the same is occurring in foreign countries, " Wu Chengyue expressionlessly read the descriptions of those creatures. He twitched his eyebrows slightly when he read about those scorpions and spiders.
Xiao Licheng noticed Wu Chengyue's micro brow movement and wanted to laugh, but couldn't. He pretended not to see it while saying to the latter, "Thankfully, no enormous centipedes were seen..."
Wu Chengyue instantly pulled a long face. He raised his head to look at Xiao Licheng, then put a smile on his handsome face, his eyes narrowed into slits."No, no centipedes. But, there are spiders!" he said.
On hearing that, Xiao Licheng dropped his head and said, "Eh-hem, yeah, the spiders with legs over two meters long. Creepy!"
Wu Chengyue gave him a glare, then erased the smile and said with a serious look, "I guess Huaxia Base is going to send out the invitations for another grand meeting in just a couple of days."
Even if Huaxia Base didn't want to take a part in that matter, the other bases would go to them and make them hold the meeting. After all, it was a serious matter relating to the survival condition of mankind.
