Zombie Sister Strategy - Chapter 1392 - What a Surprise
As the dog army joined the team, the land development progress was instantly accelerated. Those dogs weren’t able to carry out difficult tasks, but they were good at devastating the original forest. The two level-six ones under the Tibetan mastiff’s direct command were very smart. Their kinds could be considered as smart even as normal dogs, let alone the fact they had gone through level-six mutation and were literally as smart as humans.
While the dogs were tearing down the trees and burning them, as well as loosening the soil, Liu Jun and her team pumped water from the nearest pond to water the soil. The soil needed to be watered three times a day, a few days in a row. After that, it would take one or two weeks for the water to sink to the bottom of the soil and it to dry. Only after the soil was completely purified could the seeds Lin Wenwen brought back be sowed.
The water wouldn’t flush away the nutrients contained in the soil. On the contrary, the soil watered by the diluted lake water would grow richer and richer. Therefore, Liu Jun didn’t need to worry that the crops might not thrive.
Through two hours of observation, Lin Qiao found that all those dogs were well disciplined. Under the supervision of the three level-six ones, none of them had been causing any trouble. After confirming that, she decided to let them do what they wanted, and she herself returned to the base with Teng and Wu Yueling.
Soon after she took a seat, Xie Dong showed up in her office.
“How did it go?” Lin Qiao asked as soon as he walked in.
Xie Dong nodded and said, “Si Kongchen’s men are already stationed near the gathering spot. They haven’t started taking action though. Si Kongchen already knows that Sea City Base has eliminated all the sources of virus that were smuggled in, and he’s infuriated.”

While speaking, he wore a very faint smile.
Ever since he was betrayed by a friend of his, killed, turned into a zombie, and then betrayed again by the woman whom he loved, he rarely smiled. During his days under Lin Qiao’s command, he always had a bland look, which hardly changed. He was almost invisible. Lin Qiao had no idea if he made himself invisible for the intelligence work that she gave him, or he simply wanted to avoid attention.
On hearing his words, Lin Qiao grinned. “Oh, Sea City Base has taken out his moles, so he’d surely find out about that. Wu Chengyue didn’t seem to want to hide it either. I guess he probably wanted to give Si Kongchen a surprise. Clearly, the man was really surprised!”
It was already the second time he burst in a fury because of the failure of his plan, and it definitely would not be the last time.
At that moment, Si Kongchen was black as thunder in the Chief’s office in Huaxia Base. He glared at Han Xiao and Wei Haichao as he spoke with anger, “What the hell happened? How come Wu Chengyue was suddenly informed about our plan? He even had the name list! How on earth did he find out about our plan?”
He stared at the two, his eyes sharp with suspicion.
That was such a strategic, detailed plan. However, the enemy had found out about it right before it was carried out. It had taken a long time to come up with the plan, but how come Wu Chengyue had never detected a trace of it until the last minute?
And weirdly, Wu Chengyue had even obtained the list of the people who carried the virus sources. He had those people eliminated, and thus Si Kingchen’s plan as well.
Si Kongchen firmly believed that some had leaked the plan to Wu Chengyue.
Under Si Kongchen’s cold, suspicious gaze, Wei Haichao and Han Xiao were both sullen-faced. As senior base administrators, they couldn’t explain themselves, so they had no other choice but to stay silent and suffer the rage coming from their boss. Si Kongchen suspected them, and they found that reasonable.
They were also suspecting their own men. As same as Si Kongchen, they also believed that the plan was leaked from the inside. If not, how had the enemy sneaked in and found out about the plan?
Si Kongchen looked at them coldly and asked, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
He had no idea that the plan wasn’t leaked by anyone under his lead.
Wei Haichao didn’t say anything, so Si Kongchen turned to Han Xiao. Han Xiao was the one in charge of the whole intelligence system of Huaxia base, and he knew everything. When it came to important matters like that plan, he was responsible for keeping them secret.
He had failed in his duty and let the plan leak.
Sensing Si Kongchen’s gaze, Han Xiao immediately raised his head and puffed out his chest, saying, “I’ll give you an answer in three days.”
Si Kongchen took a deep breath as he closed his eyes and stayed silent for a few seconds. Only after that did he manage to keep his veins near his temples from standing out under his skin. “Good,” he said, “I’ll give you three days. If you can’t give me a satisfactory answer in three days, you know what to do.”
On hearing that, Han Xiao sighed with relief and then turned and left. Before leaving, he glanced at Wei Haichao but didn’t say anything.
Feeling that glance, Wei Haichao knitted his brows slightly. Then, he looked at Si Kongchen with composure and said, “Perhaps, the plan wasn’t leaked by one of our own. The woman from All Beings Base has returned ahead of schedule. Also, Sea City Base cleaned out the moles the very next day after our weapon lab was attacked. That woman has definitely visited our base.”
Si Kongchen changed his countenance as he remembered that the woman could come and go like a ghost. In the next second, he said through clenched teeth, “Are you saying that it might be her who found out the plan and brought it to Sea City Base?”
“That’s my guess. How can there be such a coincidence? The second afternoon since the woman returned to her own base, Sea City Base initiated the sweeping capture operation. Also, Wu Chengyue was staying in All Beings Base even after the woman returned. I think he learned about our plan from her and then returned to his own base to deal with it as soon as he could.”
After hearing Wei Haichao’s analysis, Si Kongchen fell into thoughts with a deep frown. Wei Haichao was probably right; the woman returned just one day before Sea City Base took action. That was way too coincidental. Also, Wu Chengyue had been staying in her base before she returned, but after she came back, he suddenly left for Sea City Base. Why?
Something must have happened after the woman returned! Connecting all the facts together, Si Kongchen felt that Wei Haichao’s guess could very likely be true.
“And, hasn’t the name list been kept by you the whole time?” Wei Haichao added, “You never gave it to us.”
‘So, why are you suspecting us? We don’t even have the name list. The other materials and drawings about the plan were all kept in your office as well. You have failed to keep them safe, and now you’re blaming us for it? That’s unreasonable!’ he thought. He didn’t dare to say that out loud though. It might not be a good thing to infuriate Si Kongchen after all.
