Zombie Sister Strategy Chapter 1382 – The Reason of Betrayal

Chapter 1382: The Reason of Betrayal

Moli went where Li Yueshan was kept. He was sitting on the bed in that cell, with his legs curled and his head buried between his knees.

Moli stayed outside. She first spent a short while observing Li Yueshan through the glass window of the cell and then turned to nod at the guard next to her. The guard unlocked the door with a key and pushed it open to let her in.

Sensing that someone was coming in, Li Yueshan slightly moved his head but didn’t raise it to see who that person was. He had recognized her by her vibe. Meanwhile, the guard locked the door from the outside after Moli went in.

“Tell me. I want to hear you tell me yourself. I don’t want to use my power on you.” She stood near the door and looked at Li Yueshan as she spoke. As same as Wu Chengyue and Xiao Licheng, she was friends with Li Yueshan. Therefore, she wanted him to tell the reason willingly. That was her respect for him.

“There’s nothing to say. Do whatever you think is right to me.” Li Yueshan said with a deep voice. That voice of his was weak, toned with lifelessness and sadness.

Moli spent a while looking at him with silence and said, “Do Huaxia people have something on you?”

Li Yueshan fell into silence.

Moli looked at him and continued, “I know that you wouldn’t do such things to Sea City Base out of your own will. Tell me, what exactly happened. I don’t think you’d like me to use my power on you.”

Li Yueshan slowly turned his head to look at her. Then, he spread his body and turned around to lean against the wall, facing Moli while crossing his legs. Leaning on the wall, he said coldly, “You’ve found out what I’ve done. You got the entire plan. Sea City Base people are going to survive. What’s left to be told? Is my reason so important?”

“Do you want to die so much?” Moli glared at him and asked.

People asked Li Yueshan to explain because they hoped that there would be a reason for them to give him a light punishment. Li Yueshan clearly knew about that, but he didn’t care. Did he want them to kill him?

The virus did not spread in Sea City Base. Therefore, if he were forced to betray his base, he would receive a lesser punishment than he was supposed to. After all, being forced to betray was largely different from betraying willingly. The influences would be different too. If he did what he did out of his own will, he wouldn’t be so calm and peaceful at the moment.

Moli stood in the cell, resting her hands in the pockets of her white coat. She peacefully looked at him and asked, “As far as we know, you didn’t do anything else apart from keeping their plan secret. Was that the only thing they asked you to do?”

Li Yueshan leaned on the wall and slightly raised his chin to look at Moli as he said with a sneer, “Wasn’t that enough?”

As an intelligence worker, he knew how important intelligence could be. He kept the information about the virus secret, so the virus could be put into Sea City Base successfully. As long as it was put into food or water, or spread through the air, large numbers of Sea City Base people might turn into zombies. That would be a disaster.

“But, you didn’t try to cover for them, did you? You still wished that someone else could discover their plan. Right?” Moli saw through his sneer.

Keeping a secret was different from covering for something. To cover for something, one would need to divert people’s attention from what was needed to be covered. To keep a secret, however, one simply needed to avoid telling people about the secret. The former was more active while the latter was more passive.

Li Yueshan didn’t try to cover for Huaxia people; he only ignored their plan. In fact, he wished that someone else could find out about their plan. As long as he wasn’t the one who pointed it out, it would have nothing to do with him.

Moli didn’t use her power on him, but she could guess what he was thinking through his expressions and the look in his eyes, as well as based on his usual behavior.

Li Yueshan looked at her but didn’t say anything. Moli stayed quiet as well. In the stillness, the two of them looked at each other. A long while later, he turned his eyes from Moli to a corner and murmured, “They… They have my brother.”

“Huh?” Moli looked at him and said with surprise, “Isn’t your brother dead?”

“I thought he was dead,” said Li Yueshan to her, “But he’s alive. It’d be better if he were dead though.”

Moli knitted her brows and said, “What does that mean? I seem to remember that your brother was thrown into a zombie crowd. Right? It’s been years. He should have become a zombie long ago!”

Li Yueshan shook his head and said, “No. He was lucky that he didn’t get bitten by zombies. He wasn’t infected but was caught by a mutated plant and nearly drained. Some people found him and saved his life. However, he was poisoned by that plant and never woke up. In the end, he was handed to the scientific research institute of Huaxia Base as a research subject.”

“Did they find you and let you know about that?” Moli’s expressionless face now wore a questioning look.

She was sure about her guess. After all, Li Yueshan thought his brother was long gone, so he probably wouldn’t try to look for him. Huaxia people must have contacted him and let him know that his brother was still alive. After all, his brother had become a research subject. Huaxia people had certainly dug up the man’s background. It wouldn’t be easy to find out who he was, but over time, they would dig out his identity bit by bit. In fact, he turned out to be Li Yueshan’s little brother, which was definitely good news for Huaxia people. Li Yueshan was playing an important role in Sea City Base, so Huaxia people must have threatened him with his brother’s life.

Li Yueshan and his brother were close. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have spent a year to torture the people who threw his brother into the zombie crowd slowly to death.

“Have you seen your brother?” Li Yueshan didn’t answer her first question, so Moli asked another with a frown. She knew that Li Yueshan would not let the enemy ship the virus into Sea City Base without confirming that his brother was still alive. They threatened him with his brother’s life. His brother was in a persistent vegetative state, but he was still alive!
