Zombie Sister Strategy-Chapter 1384: : One of Them Got Away

“We need some time to attract those underground creatures. We just need to be prepared.” After saying that, Si Kongchen gave Wei Haichao an order, “In three days, send out your men and tell them to get ready. Wait for my instructions.”

Hou Guozhong was still in a coma, so Wei Haichao had been Si Kongchen’s only right-hand man.

“Yes, sir!”

After the meeting, Wei Haichao went over to the army and research institute to give out tasks.

That night, Sea City Base received the news as well. After all, moles existed not only in Sea City Base, but also in Huaxia Base.

After receiving the message, Wu Chengyue said to Xiao Yunlong with a smile, who happened to be in his office and talking with him, “See, I told you that Si Kongchen’s mad.”

Xiao Yunlong was sitting on the couch, lazily leaning back. On hearing what the other said, he raised his eyebrows, “Are they really gonna take action ahead of schedule?”

Wu Chengyue held the files and said, “In three days, he’ll send people to those underground creatures and start to prepare. Those people will take action once they receive Si Kongchen’s order.”

Xiao Yunlong sat straight and rested one hand on his knees as he said with surprise, “In three days?” I guess Si Kongchen isn’t out of his mind yet, despite how angry he is!”

Si Kongchen stayed sane enough to wait for three days. Also, he told his people to wait for his order.

“Oh, when does he prepare to take action from inside our base?” Since the action outside was about to be taken, the work inside the base would certainly start soon too. Of course, Si Kongchen had yet to find out that the virus which he shipped into Sea City Base was almost cleaned out by Xiao Yunlong.

Xiao Yunlong made a move to arrest those people very efficiently, but someone was still alerted in advance and got away. He came to Wu Chengyue’s office at night for no other purpose but to talk about whether the person who got away carried the virus or not. The news from Huaxia Base was delivered before they could finish that conversation.

On hearing Xiao Yunlong talk about that, Wu Chengyue again read the message from Huaxia Base and said, “He won’t give his order to release the virus until we’re busy dealing with underground creatures.”

“This means he plans to stab us hard from the back while we can’t spare any attention from those underground creatures, right? That’s an old trick. It’d work well though, if things went as he had planned,” Xiao Yunlong snorted coldly as he said with a frown and a scornful tone.

“I’ll let Licheng and All Beings Base know about this. You need to hurry up and find the person who got away. He might still be in the base. There’d be trouble if he managed to spread the virus.” Wu Chengyue said that with a faint smile on his face, but the look in his eyes was serious.

Xiao Yunlong quickly stood up and adjusted his coat. Then, he put on his hat as he nodded, “I get it. Don’t worry, I’ll get him by dawn.”

After saying that, he walked out of Wu Chengyue’s office with big steps. Turning around the corner, he saw Meng Yue come out of the elevator. “I was looking for you. We’ve located that man,” she said.

“So soon?” Xiao Yunlong looked at her with surprise, “Let’s go and get him then. We can’t let him get away again.

While speaking, he dragged Meng Yue back into the elevator.

“Don’t we need to report it to Wu Chengyue first?” Meng Yue glanced at him uncertainly.

“No need. I just told him that I’ll get the man by dawn,” said Xiao Yunlong.

At that moment, a person was shrinking in a corner in a dark sewer. He didn’t look good. Vigilantly, he had his eyes fixed on the other side of the sewer. Held in his hand was a seven-centimeter-long glass test tube, and in the tube was dark-purple, opaque liquid.

The man gripped the test tube. That was the last thing he had that might save his life.

He spent a few minutes squatting there and realized that he couldn’t stay for too long. So, he carefully observed the other side of the sewer and then quietly moved toward it. He planned to search for a safe exit on that side of the sewer.

However, as he made a turn on the other side of the sewer, he saw someone standing in front of him. The man gave a start and stopped moving immediately. Next, he turned and found two people standing silently behind him, about ten meters away. On his left side was the wall, and the right side was the river of sewage.

There was no way for him to get away, unless he jumped into the sewage.

Plop!

“Don’t come near me, or I’ll smash this thing! You should have found out what this is, and you should know how it can spread!” The man jumped into the sewage without thinking. The sewage wasn’t deep; the surface of the muddy and stinky water only reached his knees. He raised the test tube and pointed a finger at the people surrounding him as he yelled nervously.

“You’ll be the first one to turn into a zombie if you break that thing. Do you have the guts to do that?” The man near the corner slowly came close to him and said to him with composure.

As expected, the man hesitated. But in the next moment, he again glared at the pursuers and shouted, “I don’t care! You’ll kill me after you caught me anyway! I’ll drag you all to hell unless you let me go! I’d be happy to die together with you all!”

As soon as he broke the test tube, the virus would spread through the air.

“Give it a try. I’m telling you, if you break that test tube, you’ll be the only one to turn into a zombie,” said the man around the corner with a very calm voice.

“Can’t you see the hazmat suits that we’re all wearing?” Another man couldn’t help but remind him.

On hearing that, the man finally realized that all the three men were wearing isolation suits that had their entire bodies covered. Those suits were made from special materials and were even fire-proof. It was impossible for the virus to go through the suits.

The virus was able to spread through the air, but to infect someone, it had to make direct contact with the person’s skin or be inhaled by that person.

“S-still, it’ll go out through the air vent! You may not turn into zombies, but what about the people out there? Don’t you care about their lives?” The man made two steps backward in a flurry and yelled at the three.

“Are you aware that the spreading range of this virus is limited? We have evacuated this area. It won’t possibly hurt anyone else but you.” The man near the corner calmly provided him with some unknown information and threw him into despair.
