Chapter 414 The Unseen Hand Behind the City Lockdown
This chaotic battle was made even more exciting by Ada's participation. Lin Yuan was exhausted for several days in a row, feeling that it was even more tiring than fighting a war.
When Lin Yuan woke up the next day, he was alone in his bedroom again, still feeling crazy about what had happened the night before.
As usual, the women went about their own business.
Although Liu Yun had advanced to the Red Eye level, she was not in a hurry to undergo special training. Instead, she went to manage the construction of the base's protective wall with Liu Qingxue and Qin Huan. This project was currently the top priority.
Song Yufei and Bai Zhenzhen were cleaning the living room outside, Xu Muqing was training tirelessly in the training room, probably wanting to become the next Red Eye after Liu Yun, and Jiang Qian was busy at the computer. Although she didn't have to supervise, she was responsible for arranging many of the base's network settings and construction. As for Aida, she had gone to the southeast sea area to conduct research as instructed by Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan felt relieved and free. After getting up and washing up, he grabbed a drink from the refrigerator and sat on the soft sofa to carry out his daily routine inspection.
This task may seem simple, but it is actually of paramount importance to Lin Yuan, as it involves overall control.
In addition, some domesticated creatures were arranged to roam around other large survivor bases, so that they could occasionally peek into other people's lives, which was also a kind of enjoyment.
However, when Lin Yuan switched his perspective to Happy Farm, he found himself at a loss for words.
It turns out that the red-eyed, bespectacled zombie didn't go back after arriving in Linhai. Instead, it was responsible for recruiting more zombies here. Its original subordinates in Happy Farm were somehow ordered by it to head towards Linhai City.
As a result, Happy Farm was abandoned.
At this moment, through the perspective of the animals being raised, Lin Yuan saw the bald man and the blond man who had previously shown interest, and these two had taken over the place.
However, these two don't seem to have any intention of being kept as pets; they're only responsible for eating them...
Happy Farm, on the other hand, was peaceful and quiet.
But a city lockdown is different.
Lin Yuan had previously felt that something was off about Fengcheng. First, the survivor factions were too evenly balanced, organized around neighborhoods and constantly fighting each other. Second, the number of zombies in Fengcheng was neither too many nor too few, and they were distributed very evenly.
What is this strange feeling?
This city seems to have been designed by someone.
But who would do such a thing, and what are the benefits of doing it?
Today, Lin Yuan also saw an unusual situation through the perspective of the few birds that remained in the sealed city.
The entire city was thrown into chaos during the lockdown.
Fights broke out between survivor groups and between evolved individuals. Moreover, many evolved zombies with special abilities appeared out of nowhere and led the scattered zombies to wage a full-scale war against the survivors who were under lockdown.
The lockdown, which had been relatively calm and in a state of equilibrium, instantly descended into chaos.
This piqued Lin Yuan's interest, so he sent even more birds over to monitor the situation.
He discovered that the numerous evolved zombies that appeared out of nowhere were all roughly equal in strength to the survivor organizations they were targeting.
It was less like a war and more like a staged performance.
It's strange at every moment.
Lin Yuan naturally didn't react to the city lockdown; he just wanted to figure out the truth behind this strange situation, so he simply had Feibiao keep an eye on things.
What happened next was indeed very interesting to Lin Yuan.
These zombies, though seemingly disorganized, were actually quite orderly in their movements. Moreover, after injuring survivors, they didn't choose to kill them but instead retreated immediately. They seemed to intentionally want the virus to spread rather than kill and devour humans.
Based on the subsequent developments, Lin Yuan increasingly felt that it was very likely that there was an intelligent zombie controlling these zombies.
Lin Yuan just didn't quite understand what the purpose of such complex manipulation was.
Logically speaking, if there really was such a Corpse King, destroying the entire sealed city would only take less than half a day.
To find out what was going on, Lin Yuan continued to have Fei Niao monitor the situation, wanting to see what kind of trouble she might cause.
……
As Lin Yuan watched the bizarre developments in the lockdown situation as if he were watching a movie, Ada's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"Owner!"
Ida's voice sounded somewhat agitated.
"what happened?"
Lin Yuan responded immediately.
“Didn’t you tell me to take a large naval force to the southeast sea area to check things out? I think I’ve actually discovered something,” Ada said. “I’m currently near the Crystal Island Group, and I just encountered the same situation as before. I clearly saw submarines and some fleets, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye.”
Lin Yuan's heart tightened as well.
If this were the first time you'd encountered something like this, you could call it an accident.
If she came a second time, it must be because Ada was affected by the 'Whisperer' ability.
"So, you're currently located in the area between the Crystal Island Group and the Bay City?" Lin Yuan asked.
Gulf City is a territory belonging to the Dragon Kingdom, an island! Before the apocalypse, it was a relatively sensitive area over the years, and one of the battlefields where the Lighthouse Kingdom and the Dragon Kingdom engaged in covert confrontations.
The same applies to the Liuli Island group.
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Ada, what did you find when you passed through the vicinity of Bay City? What is the current situation in Bay City?"
“Gulf City? Nothing seems amiss!” Ada said. “I didn’t land on the island, but I haven’t noticed anything unusual in the surrounding area either.”
Lin Yuan frowned.
The Dragon Kingdom will never abandon the Gulf, no matter the circumstances. It's possible the Gulf is completely overrun by zombies, or that a struggle is underway, but neither of those scenarios is possible—absolutely impossible!
"Should I go back to the bay and take another look?" Ida asked.
No! There's no need.
Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "Don't stay in the Liuli Island Group for now. Try to avoid this area as much as possible, and disperse the large number of marine creatures as much as possible. Then, move towards Japan and Japan."
"Master, I don't quite understand what's going on?" Ada asked, somewhat bewildered.
“Ada, listen to me. The Crystal Islands have likely been occupied by other countries, and they have probably already discovered your presence, which is why they are using the ‘Whisperer’ ability to shield you. I’m worried about your safety, so I’m going to bypass the islands for now. I will investigate this place myself.”
"What you need to do is confirm whether there is any movement in the waters of Japan and the United States."
"Now that submarines and warships have appeared, this isn't just a zombie problem anymore. It's very likely that some guys are still up to their old tricks. I need to figure out the situation, not only for China, but also for ourselves. Our own base is located along the coast, and if it's invaded or disturbed by other countries, it will also affect us."
Lin Yuan said.
Even the most clueless Ada understood what was going on.
“Master, I understand. I will try my best to have the large marine creatures protect me, and disperse the other small marine creatures as much as possible in the Pacific Ocean. How about that?” Ida asked.
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Remember to retreat if there's any danger. Don't engage in direct combat before you know the opponent's strength," Lin Yuan said.
“Understood, Master. I will leave the Glass Isles immediately!” Ada said. “I will relay the information back as soon as possible.”
"it is good."
