Chapter 1383: The Plan on the Outside
Moli asked Li Yueshan if he had seen his brother. But in fact, she already had the answer.
Li Yueshan looked at her with silence; he didn’t want to say anything else. He didn’t want to make it sound like he was trying to exculpate himself. He had done something wrong, and he intended to take on the consequences.
As he stayed quiet, Moli didn’t ask more questions. She already had the answers to the questions she wanted to ask. She had also figured out the reason why he did what he did.
So, she looked at him and said, “I guess you don’t believe in the power of our base. That’s why you did what they asked, right?”
He could have told Wu Chengyue about it and used the power of Sea City Base to rescue his little brother. In that case, he wouldn’t have to betray his base under threat.
Moli turned and left after finishing talking, leaving Li Yueshan in the cell to wait for his punishment. Soon, Wu Chengyue received her report. “So, his brother isn’t dead. No wonder they managed to make him do that,” he said as comprehension dawned on his face.
Li Yueshan’s little brother was very important to him, and Wu Chengyue knew about that. If Huaxia people threatened Li Yueshan with his own life, he’d choose to die. However, it was his little brother. He considered his little brother’s life much more important than his own, even though his brother was already half-dead.
After the apocalypse, his brother, Li Yue He, saved his life a few times. Hence, Li Yueshan owed it to his brother! He was even the reason why his brother was thrown into a zombie crowd. Therefore, he would give up his own life for his brother.
Huaxia people were lucky to find his brother, as without him, they would never be able to make Li Yueshan work for them.
“How are we gonna punish him?” Moli stood before Wu Chengyue’s desk as she looked at him and asked.
Wu Chengyue gave a smile and said, “Punishing him isn’t our first priority now. What we need to do now is rescue his brother. After that, we’ll think about the punishment.”
“I get it. So, my job is done.” Moli said blandly as she turned and left.
Wu Chengyue reread her report and spent a moment thinking. Before taking action to rescue Li Yue He, he needed to send someone to Huaxia Base to find out where exactly he was.
…
In All Beings Base, Lin Qiao finished the meeting and returned to her office. Wu Yueling and Teng were sitting on the couch in her office, playing with each other. Shen Yujen was standing outside the door, watching the kids.
Sensing Lin Qiao’s return, Teng sat straight and reached his head to look at his mother. Wu Yueling was holding the gray rabbit, which had grown pretty large. The girl also raised her head to look at Lin Qiao. Looking at that large rabbit, Lin Qiao asked the girl, “Aren’t you tired holding it all the time?”
The rabbit was already as large as a medium-sized dog! It was fluffy, but because of its extra-large size, it was no longer adorable.
“Not heavy… Warm.” Wu Yueling shook her head and said.
It was winter, and the weather was cold. Warm and fluffy pets like the rabbit could be rather popular under such weather. The rabbit had grown quite familiar with Wu Yueling, so it let the girl hold it as much as she wanted.
…
At that time, in Huaxia Base, Si Kongchen was sitting at the head of the table in the meeting room, staring at the table with cold eyes. At the table were a group of senior base managers. They were all silent, not even daring to breathe loudly. They had been trying to minimize their sense of presence. Everyone could tell how upset Si Kongchen was at the moment, and he might vent his anger on anyone on the scene.
They had learned that Professor Bai’s research base was blown up. They didn’t say a word about it, but deep down, some were happy about it.
Liu Zhinan was one of those people.
Si Kongchen wasn’t saying anything. All he did was sit there, releasing a frosty atmosphere. After sitting there for a short while, Liu Zhinan couldn’t help but start talking, “Chief, are you trying to freeze us all to death?”
Among everyone in the room, he was the least afraid of Si Kongchen. Ever since Hu Zhiyong and Han Xiao died, he lost many comrades on his side. Therefore, he was thrilled to know that Si Kongchen’s partner, who was also a capable scientist, was killed.
He himself was a scientist as well. He and Professor Bai had always been enemies. Si Kongchen chose to stand on the same side with Professor Bai and ignored Liu Zhinan completely. For that reason, Liu Zhinan and Hu Zhiyong had hated Professor Bai for a long time. Hence, they were really happy to hear about Professor Bai’s death.
His voice stirred the atmosphere in the meeting room. Si Kongchen gave the other people a glance and then said with a deep and cold voice, “Plan Zero will be carried out ahead of schedule.”
On hearing that, Liu Zhinan crossed his arms as he leaned on the back of the chair and asked, “Why?” Many of those underground creatures haven’t upgraded yet. Only a small number of them have managed to make the breakthrough. Besides, a lot of high-leveled ones are still there. Will we be able to make them follow us?”
In simple words, it was not yet the time, so the effect might not be as good as expected.
Si Kongchen gave him a cold glance and said, “Didn’t you say that we should carry out the plan as soon as possible? How come you’ve changed your mind?”
Liu Zhinan smiled and responded, “Didn’t you say that taking acting too early might affect the final result? To achieve the perfect result, I’m surely happy to stick with the original plan. Are you now making this decision on an impulse?”
He intended to disagree with Si Kongchen, no matter how. Si Kongchen may have changed his mind, but regarding the major plan, he should not act impulsively. If the action failed, he might not be able to take the responsibility, even though he was the leader of the base.
“What if our drug can make those level seven and eight ones follow us too? I said the plan will be carried out ahead of schedule, but I didn’t say now. In a few days, those underground creatures will reach the peak of upgrading. That’ll be a good chance to lure them away from the gathering spot. As long as the high-leveled ones are following us, whether the rest will be able to upgrade or not won’t be important anymore.”
“What about the first step of the Sea City Plan?” Wei Haichao abruptly joined the conversation, “Will that be initiated at the same time?”
“No,” Si Kongchen shook his head and said, “It’ll be initiated when Sea City Base is busy dealing with those underground creatures.”
The underground creatures would attack Sea City Base from the outside. When Wu Chengyue and the other leaders of Sea City Base focused their powers on them, the virus would be released from inside the base, and some commoners in the base would turn into zombies. By then, Sea City Base would fall into chaos.
