138: Perfect solution

Inside the Zombie Queen's cave, the only light source was the faint glimmer from outside.

But even that meager light revealed a shocking scene within.

The cave walls and ground were covered in dark red blood, as if every surface had been violently torn apart by intense battles.

The air was thick with the smell of blood, mixed with the putrid odor of various decaying remnants. Li Qingqing almost vomited from the smell.

Upon closer inspection, the blood here had dried, forming gruesome streaks like demonic claw marks, instilling fear in anyone who entered.

Occasional drops of blood from the cave ceiling made a “plop” sound, adding to the eerie horror.

Li Qingqing regretted it immensely; she never wanted to see this hellish scene again.

But she didn't dare to leave. She was certain that if she even attempted to, Lin Shuang would shoot her dead.

Thinking of this, her face instantly turned pale, and her steps trembled uncontrollably.

Lin Shuang saw Li Qingqing's terrified expression and couldn't help but frown, clearly displeased.

“What are you afraid of? Do you think I can't protect you?” Lin Shuang said, looking at Li Qingqing with disdain, his arms crossed.

Li Qingqing dared not speak, understanding that if she did, Lin Shuang would surely hold a grudge against her.

Thinking of this, she turned her head and looked at Lin Shuang ingratiatingly, saying, “How could that be? I just find this cave a bit disgusting, that's all.”

How could Lin Shuang not know she was lying? As he walked past her, he snorted coldly and was the first to enter.

Su Mianmian and the others only emerged after they had gone in.

“What should we do? Are we really just going to let them take the Zombie Queen?” Xu Qing asked, looking anxiously into the cave.

He wanted to rush in and fight them, but Shi Xu wouldn't agree.

Xu Qing became anxious at this thought.

“There's only one entrance to the Zombie Queen's cave. We can block them off just by being here.”

“Actually, the simplest way is to set a fire inside right now and burn everything to ashes.” Su Mianmian said indifferently.

Shi Xu heard this and felt that Su Mianmian must have other ideas.

“Mianmian, do you have another idea?” Shi Xu asked, looking at her with doting affection, signaling her to speak.

Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu helplessly. How did he know everything about her?

“Yes, I do have another idea. It's to lure back the zombies that Lin Shuang and his group drove away. With both sides fighting each other, we can then burn everything down with fire.”

Su Mianmian felt this method was a bit troublesome, but it could eliminate both factions, making it an optimal solution.

After listening, Shi Xu looked at everyone, seemingly observing which plan they would agree to.

“I agree with the second plan. Zombies without their Zombie Queen are very agitated and might even form a horde to besiege the base. The best way is to eliminate them all.” Su Jinxuan said seriously.

The others nodded in agreement upon hearing him.

With a plan in place, Su Mianmian had a special scent to attract distant zombies back.

This scent was specifically for dealing with the Zombie Queen, but unexpectedly, it was used in a reverse way today.

After Su Mianmian finished sprinkling the powder at the cave entrance, they all ran off in different directions.

Lin Shuang and his group, who remained inside, had no idea that danger was quietly approaching.

By the time they realized it, enraged zombies were already rushing towards them.

Lin Shuang looked at the multitude of zombies, utterly bewildered. Hadn't they already lured them away?

Why had they returned?

With a scream, unsuspecting people were torn apart by zombies.

Lin Shuang, pulling the terrified Li Qingqing, attacked the zombies assaulting him while searching for an exit.

Heaven helps those who help themselves; he was indeed lucky enough to get out of the cave.

Su Mianmian and Shi Xu had been waiting at the entrance. Their eyes lit up when they saw Lin Shuang and Li Qingqing.

As expected, those two were not easily killed, and their waiting outside had not been in vain.

“Do you think you'll have a way out after coming out?”

“That's impossible.” Su Mianmian said coldly, looking at them mercilessly.

Li Qingqing snapped back to reality upon hearing Su Mianmian's voice.

“You… it's you…”

“We have no grievances, why are you doing this to me?”

“If you let us go now, I won't hold you accountable for what you've done to us.”

“The base can still let you in smoothly.”

Although Li Qingqing was very scared, she still didn't think Su Mianmian and her group were anything special. If they were truly powerful, they would have gone to the base long ago.

She hadn't seen them for a while and thought they had fled, never expecting them to still be around and involved in Lin Shuang's affairs.

Li Qingqing was truly angry, but now that they were in their hands, she had to be cautious.

“Hahaha, Li Qingqing, you still haven't realized the seriousness of the situation!”

“You must die today.”

“As for the man beside you, keeping him is also a future problem, so he must die too.”

“You two can be an underground pair of lovers from now on.” Su Mianmian said, looking at Li Qingqing with a mocking, sarcastic expression.

Li Qingqing wanted to say something else, but as soon as she tried to speak, her nose felt as if it had been clamped shut, rendering her unable to say anything.

Seeing this, Lin Shuang, standing nearby, said sternly, “If you dare to kill me today, you will make an enemy of the base. Do you really want to do that?”

He hated that he had no combat power or abilities. All the ability users around him were in the zombie cave, and he didn't know what their situation was. His only option now was to save himself.

Lin Shuang wanted to buy time, and Shi Xu understood perfectly.

He glanced at Su Mianmian, signaling her to kill him.

Su Mianmian nodded. She didn't want any further complications.

With Su Mianmian's approval, Shi Xu used his abilities, and in an instant, both Li Qingqing and Lin Shuang lost their breath.

Su Mianmian, fearing they might have a chance to return from the dead, even burned their bodies.

After dealing with Li Qingqing and her group, people continued to emerge from the cave one after another.

Shi Xu left no survivors, killing everyone who came out.

Later, they directly threw bombs inside. Whether it was zombies, humans, or the Zombie Queen, everything was blown to pieces by the explosions.

After resolving this matter, Su Mianmian felt a huge weight finally lifted from her heart.

Back at the base, construction was still underway. It shouldn't be long before it was completed.

Su Mianmian also saw some red items. She paused, unsure what they were.

“Our wedding is about to happen.”

“Mianmian, are you happy?”
