Zombie Sister Strategy - Chapter 1394
Chapter 1394: Get Yourself Together
Thinking about the fact that Huaxia Base always used living human beings as bait, not only Lin Feng, but Lin Qiao also knitted her brows. The human population had already dropped drastically. Under the current circumstances, using living human beings as bait or experimental subjects was even more unacceptable than it was in the old world.
“Have you found out who those people all are?” Lin Qiao looked at Lin Feng and asked.
Lin Feng nodded and said, “It’s pretty obvious, actually. They’re the people that Huaxia Base wants to get rid of. Ninety percent of them are commoners – weak, ill, severely injured. About a hundred of them are superpower possessors, probably on death row.”
Those people who had been brought to the underground creature gathering spot weren’t supposed to return to Huaxia Base alive. But, little did Huaxia people know that Lin Qiao had found out about their entire plan and set an ambush for them, and those human baits had luckily survived. They had all been brought back to All Beings Base, and some of them had been sent to Lin Hao’s hospital.
“I guess Lin Hao is gonna need to start working around the clock again,” said Lin Qiao. Not all of them needed medical help, but at least half of them did.
“Yeah, just let him do the work. He has no interest in finding himself a girlfriend anyway,” Lin Feng nodded and said while handing the report over.
That afternoon, Xie Dong suddenly showed up at the door of Lin Qiao’s office. He walked in while holding a file and wearing a serious look.
“What’s wrong?” Noticing the look on his face, Lin Qiao asked.
Xie Dong walked up to her desk and handed her the file while saying, “Si Kongchen has suspended all his current actions.”
Lin Qiao took over the file and read it expressionlessly before spending a short while thinking.
“I guess Si Kongchen has already found out about what happened in Sea City Base recently. That makes sense, though. After all, his moles in Sea City Base have all suddenly gone missing. I believe he’ll soon learn that his plan about those underground creatures has failed too… Hehe,” Lin Qiao tittered with a bland voice. Imagining Si Kongchen’s angry face made her feel good indeed.
Xie Dong looked at her expressionlessly and said, “He already knows.”
Lin Qiao looked at him with surprise, saying, “Oh, he’s well-informed.”
“That’s why he suspended all his current actions. I think he’s going to change his plan,” said Xie Dong.
Lin Qiao nodded in response, “I think so too. Wouldn’t you want to change your plan when you learn that your enemies have found out about it? The plan would be pointless if you can no longer catch your enemy unprepared. I wonder what Si Kongchen will want to do to us next.”
Lin Qiao wasn’t worried about Si Kongchen’s new plan, though. His old plan was already exposed, and both All Beings Base and Sea City Base had started taking all sorts of precautions. Therefore, Si Kongchen couldn’t possibly play any other dirty tricks successfully. He should have realized that already.
“I’ll keep an eye on Huaxia Base,” said Xie Dong.
After Xie Dong left, Lin Qiao summoned Duan Juan and asked, “Haven’t you found the double-side spy who provided us with information earlier yet?”
Duan Juan shook her head and said, “No. We’ve caught all of those people though. Maybe that person isn’t one of them.”
“If he’s not one of them, how did he know about their plan so clearly?” said Lin Qiao.
Duan Juan couldn’t answer that question. “Then why hasn’t he shown his face yet?” she said, “He’ll be spared from the punishment once he exposes himself to us, won’t he?”
Lin Feng had sent his men to interrogate Lu Meiqing and her people after having them arrested. He had given them hints to try to let them know that if they had provided All Beings Base with information, they should expose themselves for a lighter punishment.
However, no one responded to his hints. None of those people claimed to be that mysterious spy.
“Who on earth is that person?” Lin Qiao asked with curiosity, “We can’t kill those people until we have found that person.”
She didn’t want to kill the one who had helped her, because doing that would make people think of her and her base as being cruel and heartless.
…
While Lin Qiao was keeping an eye on Huaxia Base and handling the other things in her base, Xiao Yunlong and Wu Chengyue were trying to come up with a plan to rescue Li Yueshan’s brother. Of course, they hadn’t exempted Li Yueshan from punishment, even though he was forced to do what he had done.
He had done wrong after all. No matter what the reason was, he still needed to deal with the consequences. He was kept in prison; he might be released if he behaved well there. His heart was almost dead though, and he was lifeless all day. Through just a few days of prison life, he had become an unshaven, frustrated man.
Xiao Licheng went to visit him one day. Seeing the hopeless man, he couldn’t help but say, “Do you have to be like this? Put yourself together! If you give up on yourself, who’s gonna look after your little brother when he comes back?”
Hearing Xiao Licheng mentioning his little brother, Li Yueshan finally changed his expression slightly. He slowly raised his head and looked at Xiao Licheng, his lusterless eyes expressing confusion. “My brother? What do you mean?”
Xiao Licheng sat down on the other side of the table and said, “Chief is trying to find a way to save your brother from Huaxia Base. So, be prepared! You might be able to see him again.”
Li Yueshan gave a start first and suddenly had his eyes glowing. He looked at Xiao Licheng with disbelief and asked, “Really? Is Chief really planning on saving my brother? But why?”
Xiao Licheng sighed, “You’ve been working for him for such a long time. Don’t you know about him at all? We are his subordinates, but when has he ever treated us like subordinates? He saw us as his brothers the whole time. You are like a brother to him! Thankfully, you didn’t betray us willingly.”
Li Yueshan looked at Xiao Licheng quietly. A while later, he lowered his eyelids slightly while saying, “I know… I just… I can’t watch my brother die again. He’s saved my life more than once.”
Xiao Licheng nodded, “Em, we all know what has happened to you two. We’re trying to rescue him. So, stop acting like a dying man. Get yourself together and wait for the good news!”
After saying that, Xiao Licheng left.
