Zombie Sister Strategy

Boom! Si Kongchen suddenly slapped on the table, his face twisted with anger. Wei Haichao gave a start. He couldn’t help but furrow his brows and ask, “What’s wrong?”

Si Kongchen widened his eyes and said, “If the woman has taken the name list from here, she should have known about our entire plan already!”

The name list was kept together with the other materials about the plan. If the woman had read the name list, she must have read the other things too.

On hearing Si Kongchen’s words, Wei Haichao opened his mouth and paused briefly, “Are you saying that…”

Before he could finish, a quick series of footsteps could be heard from the outside. The two of them turned to the door together and found Han Xiao, who had left only a while ago, returning.

With a sullen face, Han Xiao said to them as soon as he came in, “The people whom we sent out to lure those underground creatures are exposed. According to the news from Sea City Base, our men got ambushed even before they could initiate the action.”

Bang! This time, Si Kongchen punched on the desk. Every object on the desk quaked when his fist landed on it. After punching, he threw himself into his chair and leaned back while raising a hand to cover his eyes and forehead. Han Xiao looked at him with confusion, and then he turned to Wei Haichao.

Wei Haichao said expressionlessly, “It turns out that I guessed right.”

“What do you mean?” Han Xiao looked at him confusedly.

Wei Haichao explained, “Do you know who leaked our plan? Think about the person who destroyed our secret weapon lab a few days ago. Think about her time of return and the time when Sea City Base started to take action.”

Once he finished speaking, Han Xiao slightly widened his eyes. After spending a moment thinking, he looked at Wei Haichao and said, “Are you saying it was that woman?”

Wei Haichao nodded, “Who else could do that? Or, do you believe that it was just a coincidence?”

Han Xiao stayed silent. He thought for a moment and then looked at Si Kongchen, who was still covering his eyes, saying, “But, if she were here, how come Chief didn’t sense her presence? She’s at level-eight indeed, but I think she upgraded only recently. Chief should be able to detect her even if she might have had her vibe fully restrained. Chief, didn’t you sense any trace of her?”

Si Kongchen quickly dropped his hand and looked at him coldly, “What are you trying to say? Are you trying to say that I let her in on purpose?”

“No! Of course not!” Han Xiao hurriedly dropped his head and responded nervously.

Si Kongchen sat straight as he knitted his brows and waved at the two, “Alright. You two, go and prepare for an urgent meeting. We need to suspend all our current actions!”

Han Xiao and Wei Haichao glanced at each other. Then, they both stepped out of Si Kongchen’s office to prepare for the meeting. The enemy had found out about their entire plan. Therefore, no schemes would work anymore. They probably needed to switch to some overt actions.

Si Kongchen came up with that plan to reduce weapon consumption. However, the situation had changed, and weapon consumption could no longer be avoided. Therefore, he decided to launch an open, fierce attack.

…

Lin Qiao soon received the news from Lin Feng, Qiu Lili, and the others: Their mission was accomplished successfully. Soon, Lin Feng, Qiu Lili, and Lin Kui came to her office to report to her about the mission.

“Guess what they prepared to lure those underground creatures with?” The three sat around Lin Qiao’s desk as Lin Feng asked while holding the report without showing it to Lin Qiao. She glanced at the report and raised her brows while saying, “If it’s not their favorite food, it should be some kind of drug that can mess with their minds. Huaxia people are good at this kind of a thing.”

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and said, “You’re right. They planned to use both actually, right?” He glanced at Qiu Lili and Lin Kui.

Qiu Lili nodded as she took out a glass bottle with red liquid in it and handed it to Lin Qiao while saying, “Look, they planned to use this on those underground creatures. They didn’t get a chance to use it though, as we killed them before they could do anything. I’ve run a test with this drug. Its scent can irritate those creatures and throw them into a state similar to the superpower possessors who were out of control earlier on. This drug can also boost their hunger.”

The drug would drive those creatures crazy and make them feel starving. While they were in that crazy, starving state, someone would be able to draw their attention using their favorite food very easily.

“Apart from this drug, they have also brought a batch of commoners. I think they prepared to use the drug on those creatures first and then use those people to draw them all the way to our base,” Qiu Lili put the glass bottle on the desk and said to Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao wasn’t surprised; she could guess that out. She leaned forward and picked up the bottle of drug. First, she put it under her nose to sniff at it and then unscrewed the lid.

A weird scent came out of the bottle. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t good either.

Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes to observe liquid in the bottle and found two different types of energy mixing together in the liquid. They had the fluorescent colors of green and purple. The liquid itself looked fluorescent as well.

Lin Qiao sniffed at the liquid and put the lid back on.

“The energies in this liquid are ineffective to both zombies and humans. But according to you, they can indeed do something to those underground creatures. I guess these energies probably have something to do with those creatures themselves.” After studying the liquid and making sure it wasn’t dangerous for both zombies and humans, she finally spoke to the others.

“Nearly a thousand people were brought out of Huaxia Base as baits, some of whom are superpower possessors. Those people are all drugged though, and their powers have been disabled. So, they’re now even weaker than commoners. How come Huaxia Base likes to use living humans as bait so much? In Si Kongchen’s eyes, what exactly are those people?” Lin Feng frowned and said with discontentment.
