Zombie Sister Strategy-Chapter 1407: Sneak into Huaxia City
Upon hearing Lin Qiao say that she intended to kill Si Kongchen, Yun Meng paused briefly with surprise before she could react. “Eh?” she said, “Why do you suddenly want to kill him?”
Looking at her, Lin Qiao didn’t tell her about the true reason. “I just think that by killing him, we can solve this whole Huaxia problem as soon as possible. I don’t fancy being someone’s target.”
“So, why didn’t you take the convenience to kill Si Kongchen the last time when you were here destroying that secret lab?” Yun Meng looked at her and asked.
Lin Qiao stayed silent for a few seconds and then responded, “I didn’t think of that back then.”
At that time, all she had been thinking about was the underground world and those underground creatures that were running rampant all over the world. She did consider killing Si Kongchen, but back then, she didn’t have such a strong motive yet. She believed that he wouldn’t be able to do any severe harm to her base, unless he decided to utilize all his power against her. Recently, she discovered the problem of her own body, and that made her a little anxious. Only after that had she decided to kill him.
She couldn’t tell how long she would need to solve her own problem. Also, she had a feeling that once Huaxia Base started a serious war against Sea City Base, Wu Chengyue would be busy dealing with Si Kongchen and would have no spare time to protect All Beings Base.
Therefore, Lin Qiao had to find out a way to solve the Huaxia problem before leaving her base to fix her own problem. She had no idea what would happen to the people in All Beings Base if she left them under the current circumstances. She didn’t intend to tell Yun Meng about these because it would be difficult explaining it all to the latter.
“You really have a bad memory… Is it because of the memory loss that you had earlier?” Yun Meng rolled her eyes.
Lin Qiao did not know how to respond to that.
“Alright, let’s stop talking about that. Oh, um, do you know where they keep those new weapons that can be used against underground creatures?” She quickly changed the topic.
Yun Meng thought for a moment and then nodded, “Yeah, I have some clues. But I haven’t started looking for those weapons, so I don’t have any details yet. We might need to ask some other people about them.”
Lin Qiao knew that she was talking about the ones under Xie Dong’s command, who had been inserted in Huaxia Base.
“Maybe you can wait here while I go and find out,” Yun Meng looked at Lin Qiao and said.
“Go,” Lin Qiao nodded and said, “But I’m not going to wait for you. While you’re looking for those weapons, I’ll be taking care of Si Kongchen, the troublemaker. Come back here and wait for me when your job is done. I’ll come back as soon as I finish.”
“Okay,” Yun Meng said.
“So, let’s start!” After saying that, Lin Qiao turned and disappeared from where she was, and so did the other.
At that time, Si Kongchen was sitting in his office, reading a stack of files on his desk with a frown. The sofa and the tea table before it were both covered by all kinds of files as well. Wei Haichao, his assistant, and Si Kongchen’s assistant were all sitting on the sofa, reading files carefully.
“Won’t those stolen files cause us problems, even though we have copies? It was the woman from All Beings Base who stole them, wasn’t it? Will she use those files against us? Maybe she’ll disclose what we’ve done,” Wei Haichao asked Si Kongchen while searching through the files for the information he needed.
“So what? The change of the underground environment was caused by Professor Bai indeed, but he didn’t do that on purpose. That was an accident. We’ve been trying to find out a way to eliminate those underground creatures, haven’t we? We’re trying to fix the problem. However, that woman destroyed our lab. It wasn’t our fault,” Si Kongchen blamed everything on Lin Qiao.
Wei Haichao raised his brows and then nodded, “Well, I guess you’re right.”
“Cut the crap and read those files!” Si Kongchen threw the file in his hand on his desk as he stood up and walked out of the office.
Wei Haichao sighed while murmuring to himself, “Why do we have to read these? He could have simply summoned those researchers and asked them about what he wants to know. Those people know more than we do, right?”
His assistant responded to him with a weak voice, “I guess Chief was worried that some among those people might be moles. Ever since his last plan was leaked, he’s not been trusting anyone.”
“It was his own problem that the plan leaked,” said Wei Haichao blandly.
“Shh! Boss, don’t say that! He’d get upset if he heard it,” Wei Haichao’s assistant shushed him.
The drug that was supposed to be used on underground creatures had been destroyed by Lin Qiao along with the underground lab. Professor Bai was responsible for keeping the drug safe, so Si Kongchen didn’t have it. Hence, he had no choice but to find the production method of the drug and produce another batch.
That was the reason why those men were reading material copies in Si Kongchen’s office. The original files had been stolen by Lin Qiao after all.
By the time Lin Qiao came following Si Kongchen’s vibe, Si Kongchen was standing by a window at the end of the hallway, smoking. He was thinking that since he had failed to spread the virus inside Sea City Base, maybe he should make those underground creatures crazier than he previously planned. He wanted those creatures to charge at Sea City Bas together like a tide. He doubted that Wu Chengyue would have the power to fend them off.
Wu Chengyue might think that those underground creatures wouldn’t be able to find human bases by themselves. However, that was wrong. The higher-leveled ones would lead the newly upgraded ones toward the humans once the upgrade was completed. That was one thing that Si Kongchen had recently found out about from those files. Professor Bai might have known about it, but he never mentioned it to him.
After learning about that fact, Si Kongchen felt that the failure of his original plan was no big deal. While smoking, he imagined himself flattening Sea City Base. Unwittingly, he put on a proud and perky look.
Lin Qiao spent a short while standing by his side and observing him. She couldn’t read the mind of a level-eight being, but based on the man’s facial expression, she could guess out what he was thinking at the moment. It was probably about attacking Sea City Base. Judging by the complacent look on his face, he was clearly confident about winning.
Abruptly, Si Kongchen turned his head and looked around, looking slightly alert. Lin Qiao hurriedly turned her eyes away and stepped slightly to the side.
It turned out that Si Kongchen was able to sense her presence. She really needed to be more careful.
