“What’s the matter? Is anything wrong?” A clear and soft voice was heard from behind them.

Li Honglin and Chen Hao turned back together and saw a good-looking man who had shoulder-length hair and a pale face.

“Lu Tong, it’s windy up here. You should stay downstairs. Your body can’t stand the wind.” Seeing the young man, both Li Honglin and Chen Hao wore a much gentler look in their eyes. Their tone of speaking showed concern as well.

Lu Tong smilingly shook his head. He looked weak, but his smile was toned with stubbornness that could easily make people feel sorry for him or want to protect him.

“I’m fine! This kind of wind can’t hurt me,” he said.

Looking at Li Honglin’s pretty, smiling eyes, Li Honglin and Chen Hao glanced at each other, then gave up on persuading him.

“There’re many zombies in the front. They have blocked our way. We can’t get through, so we’re planning to take a detour,” Li Honglin turned and pointed at the front.

“That many? But, we’ll have to go a much longer way to take that detour, right? We don’t even know if there is a detour or not,” Lu Tong didn’t know what was happening in the front, but wasn’t willing to take a detour, because that might be ten or even twenty miles of extra distance.

“But those zombies… Merely the ones I saw through the telescope are more than ten-thousand. We can’t tell exactly how many zombies there are. If we fall into a zombie city or stir up a massive zombie attack, we’ll all be dead,” said Li Honglin to Lu Tong with patience.

“If we knew there would be so many zombies, we’d wait for those people. They could be useful now, couldn’t they?” said Chen Hao with regret.

Lu Tong glanced at him with hesitation, then turned to Li Honglin as he reached out a hand and said, “Let me see.”

Li Honglin didn’t say anything but handed him the telescope.

Lu Tong made two steps forward to his side, then looked through the telescope. As same as Li Honglin and Chen Hao, he saw the huge crowd of zombies as well.

With surprise, he turned the telescope from left to right a few times.

“How can there be so many zombies? It’s unreasonable! This place is the border between West Lake District and Upper City District. This area shouldn’t be so crowded. It’s impossible for so many zombies to gather here,” Lu Tong wore a serious look as he scanned across the area for a couple of times with confusion. Soon, he confirmed that there was no problem with his eyes, and that he did see a huge number of zombies crowding on the streets and roads.

“There must be quite some high-leveled zombies among such a huge group. Not to mention dealing with this giant zombie crowd, one level four or five zombie could kill us all. So, I think we should take a detour,” Li Honglin gave his opinion.

This time, Lu Tong didn’t object, but thought silently. He really didn’t want the journey to become longer. He was sick of the scary environment. All he wanted was to join the new base as quickly as possible. Only the fence wall of the new base could make him relax.

However, with their current powers, they weren’t able to get through the zombie crowd indeed. He couldn’t say for sure if the others would still try their best to protect him under extreme dangers.

Lu Tong was a space possessor. Currently, all the supplies that this group of people had were stored in his space. As same as the other space possessors, he had no fighting capacity. His power only gave him the ability to store things.

In fact, he was even weaker than normal human beings. His face was always pale, and his body was skinny. People were often worried that he might fall to the ground suddenly.

The zombie crowd was immense, and those people only had low-leveled superpowers. They weren’t able to leap high into the sky, so their only choice was to drive.

If they went straight into the zombie crowd, they might end up being bitten to death before they made their way out. Facing thousands, or even ten-thousand zombies, they might lose a few members, but would have a chance to get through. However, the zombie crowd before them was clearly way greater than that.

If they took a detour, the journey would become longer, and they might end up wasting time and gas.

“How about we wait for those people to arrive here, then capture them and use them to distract those zombies? We’ll be able to create a path for ourselves in that way,” Lu Tong thought for a moment and then gave a suggestion.

“Capture those people to distract the zombies? How are we supposed to do that exactly?” Hearing his idea, Li Honglin and Chen Hao both had their eyes glowing.

“We’ll catch a few people and make them run. Their scents would attract zombies. We’ll draw the zombies to the other side so we can get through. As those zombies are lured away, Wang Jian’s group might shrink again,” Lu Tong talked about his plan with a smile.

“Using humans as baits? That’s a good idea,” Li Honglin’s eyes glowed even more brightly as he nodded in agreement.

They once saw Long Yubai hang the captives from Hades Base on the fence wall to attract zombies. A lot of zombies were attracted and had gathered under the wall like ants that had sensed sugar.

Lu Tong’s plan was to catch a few people and make them run in the pointed directions. The zombies that sensed their scents would follow behind them and be lured away from the road that Lu Tong and his people needed to pass through.

“Good. We’ll wait for them then. They have cars, but no food. I guess they’re now trying their best to move faster, as they want to arrive at the new base sooner. So, we don’t need to wait for long. That’s the plan,” Li Honglin nodded immediately.

Chen Hao agreed without a question.

So, the group of people started waiting for those commoners whom they had cut loose not long ago as burdens. They planned to use them as baits for zombies.

They had no idea that a level-five zombie that was guarding the area under Lin Qiao’s order, had noticed them and was now informing Lin Qiao about them.

“I guess those are the people from Hades Base. How come there’re only tens of them? That’s impossible! Over two-thousands of people were still in the base when we left, and I left all the supplies for them. Yang Jianhua and Long Yubai had taken away quite some supplies, but the farm in the base wasn’t entirely damaged, so they could still find food there. Even though some of them might have died because of starvation and illness, it’s impossible that only tens of them survived, right?” Lin Qiao looked at the zombie leader who brought her the message and said with surprise.
