1342 Watch out for Traitors

After the mantis man died, Jingyan immediately left and quickly moved toward Yan Xiao.

Facing two elite zombie squads and over a thousand wild zombies, the hundred-men team from Huaxia surely didn't manage to escape the fate of being eliminated. They all ended up becoming the wild zombies' meal with their nuclei dug out.

Chen Yuting and his people didn't waste much time there but kept heading back to the base.

The day after returning to the base, he handed Lin Feng his report early in the morning. Reading that they encountered ambush last night, the latter knitted his brows.

The enemy had started to send out people with special superpowers. They might send out other special superpower possessors next time. That mantis man would definitely not be the only one serving Huaxia Base who possessed a power that could allow him to turn invisible and pass all sorts of detectors, even being able to hide his own vibe. Huaxia Base had a large population, so it was understandable that all kinds of talents existed among its residents.

"I think Si Kongchen is finally making this serious. We are able to keep the secrets on our side, but Sea City Base might not be able to do the same. After all, many who work for Chief Wu know our secrets," Chen Yuting looked much more serious than usual.

Si Kongchen would certainly be paying greater attention to Sea City Base. If he found All Beings Base's secrets from Sea City Base, not only would All Beings Base be in danger, but Sea City Base, which was in close partnership with it, would be facing a crisis as well. After all, nearly a million people lived in Sea City Base. If they found out the truth about All Beings Base, they would start a riot from the inside, which would be difficult for the three base leaders to quell.

Violence wouldn't be a choice, because it would only lead to worse results.

Lin Feng gave a sigh, "That day will come sooner or later. Chief isn't back yet. All we can do is prepare ourselves for the worst. Send the message to Wu Chengyue and see what he'll plan to do."

The worst-case scenario would be people discovering the zombie army in All Being Base. No matter how the other humans would think of the zombie army, the residents in All Beings Base would first start a civil war. The situation would be difficult if the enemies were to come from both inside and outside, so trying to prevent the civil war would be a better thing to do currently. After all, the base was shared by zombies and humans, and the secret would be revealed eventually. Since the secret couldn't be kept forever, the base managers might as well do something in advance to make people accept their zombie friends.

Hearing his words and noticing the sudden frown on his face, Chen Yuting was a little confused. "Worst-case scenario? Are you saying that…"

To wash people's brains, all kinds of methods could be used. Threatening or tempting, they would, by any means, make those people accept the existence of the zombie army from Base Number Two.

However, some of those people might not be honest to the base leaders. They could pretend to accept the zombies in the base and plan something in secret. After all, they were humans. Humans could be paranoid and stubborn sometimes.

"That's plan A. If that doesn't work in the end, we'd have two choices to make them keep the secrets forever. However, the final decision has to be made by Chief. We won't be taking actions like that until the last moment. Right now, we should think about how to improve our confidential work," Lin Feng said expressionlessly and nodded.

Chen Yuting thought for a moment and said, "Thankfully, they had all signed the agreement when they joined the base. We still have the initiative."

Since the base was founded, Lin Qiao had started to make everyone who decided to join All Being Base sign a confidentiality agreement. The residents in the base weren't allowed to leak any information about the base. Only by following that rule could they live a carefree life in the base.

"But, we can start with the army already. Make it like counseling. We can slowly give the truth to more people," Lin Feng knocked on the desk with a finger as he thought for a moment and said.

In fact, quite some people in the army in Base Number One had already known about the zombie army. But still, they needed to carefully select the people to give the counseling to.

"Maybe we should hold a meeting with the few from Base Number Two and ask for their opinion," said Chen Yuting.

Lin Feng nodded and said, "That's what I'm thinking. Send them the message now and prepare to have the meeting tonight. The message for Chief Wu is more urgent though."

"I get it. I'm doing that right now," Chen Yuting stood up and said.



Qiu Lili, Yun Meng and the others were all surprised to receive Lin Feng's message. On the roof, Qiu Lili, who was curled in Lin Kui the black panther's arms, said with surprise, "Do you think Lin Feng's plan is too risky?"

That was the first thought that popped up in their minds. After all, letting all people in the base know the secret would raise the possibility of a leak.

Lin Kui shook an ear and said, "He said that'll be the last step. He's actually trying to say that if our base belonged to zombies only, there would be no chance for the secret to leak as long as we stay careful enough. However, our base is shared by both humans and zombies. We all live together. The humans will eventually find out the secret of Base Number Two. If they found it out and leaked it before we knew, there might be trouble and we might not be able to react in time. So, I think he now intends to bring all human residents under control to prevent traitors from emerging. In this way, we can take the initiative and gain the upper hand."

After all, it was always hard to prevent damage caused by the enemies within.

On hearing his explanation, Qiu Lili started to understand it, "Oh, I see." She turned to the North. A bright red light flashed across her ruby-like eyes as she said, "It seems that the first big war relating to the future of our base is going to start soon. I hope Qiaoqiao returns soon."
