Zombie Sister Strategy

Lin Kui lashed his tail as he turned and licked her hand, “Don’t worry, we won’t be exposed so easily. Even if the people in the base find out the truth, we won’t let them leak the secret. But we do need to take preventive measures to prepare ourselves for any possible problem, so we can always react in time.”

Qiu Lili shrugged and said, “You’re right. We should have nothing to be afraid of even if the whole world knows that our base is a zombie base. In the worst case scenario, we can simply cast all humans out! We are zombies, but we have the right to live too.”

As Lin Feng was making plans for preventing the secrets of the base from leaking, a nurse in the hospital had been stealthily searching for something in Lin Hao’s office.

The nurse was a commoner, not a superpower possessor. However, she managed to sneak into Lin Hao’s office, as she had spent a long time learning his daily schedule. At the moment, Lin Hao was in the isolation ward designed for the superpower possessors in upgrading, checking on Du Yuanxing. That provided the nurse the opportunity to search through his office.

The nurse spent a short while rummaging in the file cabinet. She pushed away some files and found a hidden compartment behind it. That discovery made her excited.

‘I knew I could find it!’ With that thought, she reached her hand in to touch the hidden compartment. She pressed it and delved into it, finally uncovering it. However, she then put on a look of disappointment, because inside it was a keyhole that required a key to open.

The nurse recalled that Lin Hao always carried a set of keys with him. He put the keys aside only when he performed operations in his patients. She had to wait until he performed another operation to get the keys.

She angrily closed the compartment, then put the files back where they were. After that, she spent another while searching in the office but found nothing else. So at last, she had no choice but to leave with empty hands.

After leaving Lin Hao’s office, she quickly went to the monitoring room. The few security staff on duty were lying on the desks and sleeping tight.

The nurse walked in with her face covered and quickly turned on the surveillance cameras. After that, she quickly left the monitoring room. Before leaving, she took out a glass bottle and poured the drug into the room. The drug generated a cloud of yellow smoke once it made contact with the air and gave out a pungent odor. Two minutes later, the smoke faded away, and the few security guys woke up gradually a few minutes after that.

They woke up muddle-headed, and only after spending about ten seconds in a daze did they have their minds clear again.

“Eh? How did I fall asleep?” The security guy who woke up the first looked around and found his three colleagues lying on the ground or the desk, sleeping.

He quickly stood up to pat the others, “Oi, Oi, wake up! How come we all fell asleep?”

The others soon woke up. They looked around and then at the monitor screen; nothing unusual was found. They all thought they were probably too tired last night.

“I guess it’s because I didn’t sleep well last night. I’ve been tired all day today. Ah… I’m still tired,” said a security guy while yawning. They didn’t realize that their minds were a little unusually slow after they woke up, and they didn’t wonder why they all fell asleep together.

…

That night, Lin Feng, Qiu Lili, Yun Meng and the others had a meeting talking about how to brainwash the human residents in the base.

“I’m not saying that we should take these actions right now. I think we should wait until we can’t keep the secret anymore. But, I’m also thinking that maybe we can select a small number of people from the army in Base Number One and tell them the truth, making them accept it. I want your people to give them one-on-one counseling, to let them see who you really are. I think that’ll work better,” Lin Feng looked at the others and said.

Yun Meng rested both elbows on the desk and thought for a moment before speaking, “Do we have to do that? What if they pretend to accept us but secretly refuse? We are not Chief. We can’t read their mind, so we won’t know how they really think. It would be a huge disaster for us if any of them managed to leak the secret.”

“I’ll be selecting the people from the army,” said Lin Feng, “And there won’t be many of them. Let’s see how the first batch of people reacts and then decide if we’ll continue doing that based on their reactions.”

Yun Meng spent a short while thinking. She found that a little too risky, but Lin Feng seemed to have made his mind already. However, since he would only be running a test on a small batch of people, things would be under control. Further decisions would still be made by Lin Qiao when she returned.

She glanced at Qiu Lili and Lin Kui as she asked, “What do you guys think?”

Qiu Lili didn’t think as much as Yun Meng did and spoke frankly, “The people living with us now will find out sooner or later. I think it might be a good thing to let them know in advance, so they won’t overreact when they find out by themselves and do something to cause trouble. Besides, we can’t possibly hide like this our entire lives. Our army eventually will become a part of this era openly, and one day, we won’t have to wear sunglasses and lots of clothes to disguise ourselves anymore.”

“Also,” she continued, “We are zombies, but we have the right to live as well. It’s not like we’ll hurt them for no reason. If they discriminate against us or gather up to attack us, let them do that. We won’t be afraid of them!”

After saying that, she raised her chin and snorted coldly.

Yun Meng looked at her, feeling a little speechless. “Si Kongchen might throw a missile into our base. Can you protect the base from missiles?” she said.

Qiu Lili let out her tongue and said carelessly, “Of course, I can totally catch the missile in the air and throw it back to him! Besides, why would we wait until he starts to throw missiles at us? We should take the initiative to launch a strike! Huaxia Base is our enemy already!”

Yun Meng couldn’t think of a word to argue with her. Qiu Lili was right. Why did zombies have to be afraid of humans? She and her friends could flatten Huaxia Base by gathering all the zombies in the province! Why should they be afraid of missiles?

“Huaxia Base will be destroyed sooner or later. Si Kongchen will soon die. If we can provide all the other bases with food, they should be willing to sign a peace agreement with us under the current food crisis. After all, wars will only make mankind suffer greater damage and reduce the human population. If we can guarantee not to hurt them, choosing to fight a war against us will certainly not be a wise decision for them,” said Lin Feng to the others.
