Zombie Sister Strategy

Xie Dong told Yuan Tianxing that some people were leaking the secret of the fifth floor. The latter immediately found those people and forcibly sealed their mouths. He forbade them from digging into the fifth floor, and brought the few who were causing a stir under control.

Soon, he figured that he should talk to Lin Qiao about that. That had happened once, so there would probably be the second time. In the future, they needed to keep those zombies more secretly and raise their vigilance. He needed Lin Qiao’s cooperation in that.

They also needed to think up a way to divert those people’s attention and stop them from starting trouble in the base!

“This will certainly happen again. Besides, we haven’t found the person who leaked the information in the first place. That’s a hidden problem,” Yuan Tianxing sat on the couch in Lin Qiao’s office and said.

“We provided these people with food and accommodations. Yet, they refused to live a good life, but messed around in the base. Bring them my words. In three days, we will hold a grand meeting on the playground in the high-school nearby,” Lin Qiao sat behind her desk, her eyes fixed on the blueprint on the desk. She talked with a bland face, without even raising her head.

“What are you gonna do?” Yuan Tianxing looked at her with curiosity.

“Kick the few troublemakers out of the base, tell the others that they violated the rules of our base, and spread the rumor. Then, kill them secretly. We can’t let them spread the secret in the base, and we can’t let them bring the secret away either,” said Lin Qiao.

“Also,” she continued, “Don’t we have the anti-virus drug from Huaxia Base? Release a message, saying that we have developed a new type of drug from that drug, which allows us to control lower-level zombies.”

That would make a perfect explanation to the people in the base, and Yuan Tianxing nodded in agreement.

“We offered them a place to live in, a chance of survival. So, they have to follow our rules. I brought them here to give them a home. If they don’t want to be here, I won’t force them. However, if they attempt to frame us and ruin the reputation of our new base, I won’t spare them.” Lin Qiao drew some squares on the map of Mount Wu area, and then marked those squares with the types of food which would be planted there. Meanwhile, she said with a bland tone. Her words gave out a fierce vibe that only a leader could have.

“Alright, we’ll do as you said,” Yuan Tianxing nodded.

Three days later, three-thousand All Beings Base members gathered together on the playground of the high school which was located beside the hotel. They were all survivors of Hades Base, and most of them were grateful for Lin Qiao. However, some among them didn’t trust her, who now looked like a stranger.

Standing on the high stage before the playground were Lin Qiao, Lin Feng, and other base administrators. It was January, and the weather was still cold. The wind was chilly, making some people who didn’t have enough clothes shiver.

Lu Tianyi, Shen Yujen, and Xie Dong were standing beside Lin Qiao. The three of them didn’t have any zombie features. She didn’t step up and talk, but let Yuan Tianxing make the opening speech.

“Today, we all gather in this place because we want to reiterate the rules and laws of our base,” Yuan Tianxing stood on the stage as he looked down at the thousands of people on the playground with composure.

They didn’t invite Sea City Base people to the meeting, because what they were going to say had nothing to do with them. Those were outsiders.

“Earlier on, some people spread the rumors saying that the people living on the fifth floor of the Victoria Hotel are all zombies. They also suspected that our Chief is a zombie too. So now, can any of you tell me, as a zombie, why did she build a base for you guys? Why did she offer you a place to live in? Also, what made you suspect that she might be a zombie? Don’t forget that if it weren’t for her, you would have been killed by Earth Dragon Base people, or Yang Jianhua the traitor long ago,” Yuan Tianxing said to them loudly. His eyes scanned across every single one of them, and his voice was hard and cold.

He wanted those people to remember how they survived, and why they came to the new base.

Hearing that, the thousands of people fell into silence.

“She… she can control zombies! When we came here, some zombies approached us, but didn’t attack us! This base is surrounded by a lot of zombies as well! How will you explain that!” A man abruptly asked a few questions.

Yuan Tianxing fixed his eyes on that man and responded, “If she’s a zombie, why did she build a base for humans? Why didn’t she simply not eat you all? Did she really need to make all the efforts? Besides, why do you think that she’s a zombie? Have you seen any talking zombies? Have you seen a zombie with human eyes?”

That man didn’t know what to say, so he chose to stay silent.

Yuan Tianxing was right. Zombies had no sanity. They attacked every human being they saw. Even high-leveled zombies weren’t sane; they were like man-shaped monsters. A zombie would never provided people with food and accommodation, not to mention building a base to protect them.

Those people didn’t want to believe Lin Qiao, but were willing to believe Yuan Tianxing, who was their Deputy Chief back in Hades Base.

Lin Qiao did look like a human being.

Next, Yuan Tianxing ordered Duan Juan to bring the group of people who dedicated the most on spreading the rumor. They were all tied up.

He said, “The construction work of our new base isn’t finished yet, and the fence wall is only done by thirty percent. But, we still need to follow the rules of our base. Every country has its laws, and every family has its rules. We, of course, have our own rules too! We do not accept people like them. They spread the rumors in the base and caused a disturbance among the people. If their names weren’t in the list of Hades Base members, I’d think that they were working for another base.”

“Now, as the Deputy Chief of All Beings Base, I will banish these people, because they have disturbed the public order and caused a threat to the base,” Yuan Tianxing waved a hand while speaking and signaled for a Deputy Chief to bring those people off the stage with some armed soldiers.

“Now, let me tell you why the zombies in this place wouldn’t attack you. This… is the drug that Huaxia Base newly developed. Months ago, we received the news, saying that this drug contained one component that threatens zombies. Like mosquito repellents, it can’t kill zombies, but can make zombies run away from us,” Yuan Tianxing raised the drug from Huaxia Base, and said to those people, “That is a secret of our base. You can’t talk about it to the people from other bases. So now, every one of you needs to sign a confidentiality agreement! If you are not willing to do that, I might show you no mercy. You have already known about the secret, so if you refuse to keep it secret, you’ll be seen a threat to the base. We tend to get rid of all threats as soon as possible!”

Yuan Tianxing finished talking and released a strong intention of killing.

He had sealed the mouths of all the base member by telling them the secret first and making them sign the agreement later. That couldn’t be done the other way around.

Yuan Tianxing’s words made those people realize that they did not have any choice. They could either die or believe in the base.
