Chapter 1399: What’s Done by Night Appears by Day

For the sake of the bagful of nuclei, Lin Qiao agreed to let Mo Yan take Si Kongchen’s life.
At that time, Yun Meng and the people from Sea City Base were preparing to rescue Li Yueshan’s brother, Li Yue He. The squad from Sea City Base was led by Kong Qingming, a possessor of green power. Under his lead were a dozen men at level four and five. His squad was obviously much weaker than Yun Meng’s. The team on her side had six members only, but they were five level-six and one at level-seven, all being zombies.
No wonder they were all strong.
“How generous is your Chief! She not only sent you, but also five level-six ones … Do you have a lot of level-six soldiers now? How come she sent out five of them so easily?” Kong Qingming said to Yun Meng at the sight of her.
Yun Meng glanced at him and said, “Don’t you like them? How about I send them back and replace them with a few level-five ones? You’re right. We have plenty of level five and six soldiers now.”
They even had a large number of level-seven ones.
Kong Qingming quickly shook his head and said, “No, no. They are great, perfect! You do not need to replace them.”
Soon, the two squads got on the vehicle and quietly left Sea City Base. To get familiar with each other, they sat together in the car.
“How do you plan to punish Li Yueshan? He’s betrayed your base, after all.” Yun Meng asked Kong Qingming, who was in the front seat, with curiosity.
Kong Qingming slightly turned to her and said, “Em, he’ll be in jail for a few years at least. But it depends on his performance. If he can redeem himself with good service, we’ll reduce his jail time accordingly.”
“Redeem himself with good service?” Yun Meng looked at him with confusion.
“If we can bring his brother back safely to ease his worry, we’ll still let him perform tasks in the war with Huaxia Base,” said Kong Qingming.
Yun Meng nodded and said, “Oh, so you guys will still offer him opportunities, right?”
Kong Qingming nodded and said, “Yes. But of course, it’s only when he performs a task can he leave the jail. After the war, we’ll bring him to trial and sentence him according to his contribution. We’re doing human-based management in our base. Every case is different. We’re not as cold-blooded as Huaxia Base.”
In Huaxia Base, the ones who betrayed the base wouldn’t have any chance to redeem themselves, and they would be executed immediately. Huaxia Base wouldn’t care if they had betrayed the base willingly or if they were forced.
“What do you think Si Kongchen will plan to do to us next? We’ve found out about his plan and ruined it twice. Do you think he hates us?” Yun Meng asked Kong Qingming.
“Oh,” Kong Qingming said, “He hates your Chief’s guts. He hates her alone.”
“Why?” Yun Meng didn’t understand. How come Si Kongchen hated Lin Qiao alone?
Kong Qingming smiled, saying, “I guess you don’t know about this yet. Si Kongchen has already guessed out that it was your Chief who leaked his plan. His plan was ruined twice because your Chief informed our base about it. He was infuriated when he found out about that, acting like the whole world owes him. Our Chief thinks that even though our base will still be the main target for his next action, he will try to do something to your base too.”
On hearing that Si Kongchen was infuriated, Yun Meng sneered and said, “He deserves it! What is done by night appears by day. He has attempted to hurt us, and we would certainly fight back!” She paused briefly and continued, “Oh, how confident are you about the rescue? Do you have the exact location? Do you have the blueprints?”
Kong Qingming turned and handed her a file, saying, “I’ll give you guys the details when we arrive. You can read them now.”
Yun Meng took over the files and started reading carefully. There was a map of Huaxia Base and a construction blueprint, marked with the exact location of Li Yueshan’s little brother. Reading the detailed information on the map, Yun Meng said to Kong Qingming with surprise, “Eh? This is pretty detailed. These files should be confidential. How did you get them? Only the ones very familiar with the base can get these, right?”
Kong Qingming smiled and said, “You’re right. You seem to have learned a lot in your base. Someone provided us with this information. We’ve confirmed that it’s authentic.”
“Oh, so someone else gave you these. I thought your people have gotten into the core of Huaxia Base, and that it was them who gathered the information for you.” Yun Meng guessed out that the one who provided the information wasn’t from Sea City Base.
“No, it was no one from our side,” said Kong Qingming.
Maybe because he now had a girlfriend, Kong Qingming had become more masculine than before. His face looked more manly than before, no longer like the face of a girl. Most of the credit went to his crew cut.
“So, who is this person that provided you with the information?” Yun Meng asked without thinking.
“I don’t know. That person didn’t disclose his or her identity,” said Kong Qingming.
“This isn’t a trap, is it?” Yun Meng furrowed her brows slightly. After all, the information coming from an unknown source could be unsafe.
Kong Qingming turned his head around and said, “We had the same kind of worry at first. However, we couldn’t think of a reason why that person would set a trap for us. So this time, we need to prepare ourselves for any possible trap. We have to stay alert and play it by ear.”
“You guys are so reckless!” Yun Meng couldn’t help but complain.
About ten miles from Huaxia Base, they parked in a sheltered place and then started talking about the plan of action. Kong Qingming spread the map that he had shown to Yun Meng and said, “We will split into three squads. We have three plans here, and we’ll first give Plan A a try.”
“The first step is to rescue our man. After that, we’ll try to find out about Si Kongchen’s new plan. Yun Meng, you and your squad need to summon some wild zombies and create a small-range massive zombie attack to divert the attention of Huaxia people. While you’re doing that, we will sneak into the lab to rescue our men. If we fail, we’ll initiate Plan B and break in using violence. If that doesn’t work either, we’ll have to use our last plan.”
“What’s the last plan?” As Kong Qingming paused, Yun Meng asked.
Kong Qingming looked at her and said, “You’ll have to turn invisible and sneak into the lab to rescue the man by yourself! If Plan A and B both fail, you’ll have to perform that task alone. We’ll stay outside and cover you.”
Yun Meng stayed silent. Somehow, she felt that that was the real plan, made for her exclusively.
