I watched as Zhou Gang Jia's eyes widened at my threat. Was I willing to kill everyone in this room to protect my men? Well, that was a bit of a dumb question, now wasn't it?

I stretched my neck back and forth, trying to lessen the tension in my shoulders as I planned my next move. If we somehow managed to kill everyone in this place, Huang Xiu Yan being the only exception, what would be our next step?

That was one of the biggest problems with my brain, you know, besides the weird random thoughts. I needed to plan the next few steps and have a backup plan for those plans.

Sometimes it got so bad I couldn't even remember my original plan, that was how many backup plans I had.

But I digress. If we killed everyone, we could stay here and claim this base as our own, but then what? What would we do once the people in the city became desperate and came here? Would we open the gates? Lock them out? Would we become a safe zone or refuse entry?

'How about we just deal with the situation before we plan the next 10 years of our lives,' said Wang Chao breaking my concentration. I wrinkled my brows in confusion. How was that 10-year plan? If I was thinking that long term, I would have to see if this base had an area where we could start growing crops. I mean, I saw some parks around, but those wouldn't be big enough to grow all the food that we needed, especially if we became a safe zone.

'I'm sorry I misspoke,' said Wang Chao in a soothing voice. 'We can figure out all of that later, let's deal with this first.'

I was confused. Our next step was dependent on what we were going to do after. After all, was there any point in killing them all if we weren't going to take over their base?

And that was when it hit me. The voice said that it was more than just zombies that had flames, and although I couldn't confirm that right now, I knew that both humans and zombies had vitality. 'Wang Chao!' I gasped, looking at the man beside me to see if he caught on to my thoughts.

There was a moment of silence before Wang Chao spoke, 'Done.'

I breathed a sigh of relief and waited to see what would happen. I mean, it might not even be possible, there were a lot of people here, but if it was! And there was Liu Yu Zeng! I looked back over at Wang Chao, my eyes wide open in shock.

Could we do it?

'Done,' came Wang Chao's voice inside my head. With the plan in place, all I could do was wait and hope that it could be done before the Rear Admiral did something else or noticed something was wrong. I didn't even dare look at Liu Yu Zeng from where he stood just behind me in case I gave something away.

'It's working,' confirmed Wang Chao, not giving away anything on his face. I couldn't see anything different, but I trusted Wang Chao. If he said that my plan was working, then it was working. I started counting in my head as Zhou Gang Jia just stared at me like I had gone crazy thinking that I could take out everyone.

But then I saw it. The Rear Admiral's face started to become paler and paler, sweat started dripping from his forehead and his face wrinkled as if he was in excruciating pain. "What?" he gasped as he suddenly fell to the floor. I didn't know if he was dead or alive and I really didn't care. I watched as it spread out from us, like a reverse wave where bodies simply dropped one after another. There were no screams, no exclamations, no denials, nothing. Where they were once standing, they had now fallen to the floor.

Seeing that the threat had been neutralized, I quickly turned to look at Liu Yu Zeng and Chen Zi Han, concern apparent on my face. "Are you two okay?" I asked, looking them up and down as if I could see anything physical on them to suggest that they were in anything other than perfect condition.

Chen Zi Han just looked at me, his eyes practically sparkling. "I feel great," he admitted as he gently gave me a hug. "I am so glad that worked, it never even occurred to me."

"What about you?" I said, turning to Liu Yu Zeng. The man in question pulled me out of Chen Zi Han's arms and into a big hug of his own.

"If I said that I was completely drained, would you baby me tonight?" he asked, a smirk on his face.  I gently slapped his chest. "I'm glad you are okay," I said, letting out the breath that I was holding.

He simply hummed in agreement as he rested his head on my shoulder. "It was a bit more difficult and intricate than normal, but I got the hang of it," he volunteered. I knew that he hated to admit that he was less than perfect, so to admit that he had a hard time warmed my heart.

"Does someone want to tell me what is going on?" asked Liu Wei as he looked at the three of us in confusion.I think you should take a look at

Wang Chao simply smiled and shook his head. "This was all Li Dai Lu's idea, I just gave the directions," he said looking at me.

"That tells me nothing," grumbled Liu Wei as he looked at me for an answer.

"Disease and famine," I said, trying to make my convoluted thoughts into something that makes sense. "I remembered that Chen Zi Han could use his elements to take away someone's vitality," I started looking at the man in question. "He had done it before with the zombies. So I thought that maybe he could take away enough vitality from the people in front of us to make them pass out."

Liu Wei nodded his head, understanding what I was saying. "And my brother?"

"I was worried that it might hurt Chen Zi Han to try and weaken so many people at once, but then I remembered that poison didn't just kill, it could weaken a person too. So… I thought that maybe Liu Yu Zeng could use his poison enough to weaken everyone, without becoming weak himself, and then Chen Zi Han could finish them off."

I looked at the men around me, wondering if I was making sense. I didn't know where the idea came from, it just popped into my head.

"Smart," said Liu Wei as he gave me a gentle kiss on my cheek. "But let's collect all our stuff and leave before they wake up."

"If they do," I admitted, a chagrined look on my face. "I am not sure if they can recover." I shrugged my shoulders as if that thought didn't bother me all that much. And it really didn't. I had seen Huang Xiu Yan following Zhao Jia Li out of the room, so I knew that she would be safe.

The four simply nodded their heads at my confession as if they cared about the welfare of the men and women on the ground as I did. "And I technically have all of our stuff in my space right now, so if you want, we can leave right away."

Liu Yu Zeng narrowed his eyes at me. "I knew some of my things had been moved around," he growled in a joking manner as he nuzzled his face into the back of my neck.

"Sorry," I said, "The house in my space has enough room that I thought by just putting your stuff in the same place there, it would be easier to take in and out. Like I just had to think of the room and not the individual thing."

"Well, whatever you did, we are grateful," said Liu Wei. "But let's get dressed and start to head out into the city. It is late and already dark out, but I think I would rather take my chances there than stay here."

I hummed in agreement. Plus if I took out the night SUV we should be able to make good time and stay under the zombie's radar. But that led to another problem. "Who is going to drive?" I asked looking at the four men.

"I will," volunteered Chen Zi Han and I sighed. He had already driven me in the snow and I knew that he would be careful.

"I volunteer to keep our Sweetness distracted," said Liu Yu Zeng as he licked me up the side of my neck. I shivered at the sensation. "I licked you, now you're mine," he whispered into my ear in a low voice and my brain just shut down.

It took me a few minutes to realize that the boys were talking amongst themselves as they led me toward the exit. "Great!" grumbled a voice that I recognized as Liu Wei. "Now you broke her. What did you do?!"

"Nothing," said Liu Yu Zeng, his arm wrapped around my waist, keeping me in a straight line. His voice was completely innocent as if he really didn't know why my brain froze for a second.

"I have never heard her mind so silent," confessed Wang Chao as he turned to look at me. "Ah, there she is," he smiled. "We need our winter gear."

I nodded my head like a bobblehead with absolutely no control. Taking all the winter gear out for me and the boys, I slowly and clumsily got dressed. As my brain started working again, I looked over at Liu Yu Zeng and saw the proud smirk that quickly appeared and disappeared.

I definitely had my hands full… but I think I was going to enjoy this life.
