Rotting Land: Survive-Chapter 345 - 344: Wang Zhongyu’s Ingenious Plan (Part 1)

"Huh?" As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the attention of the survivors. They all turned to look at Wang Zhongyu, and the expectant gazes left Wang Zhongyu feeling somewhat pressured.

"Xiao Wang, do you have a solution?" Old Zhao was the first to voice the question shared by everyone.

"Hmm!" Wang Zhongyu nodded. As a professional driver, his ability to handle pressure was quite good. After a brief adjustment, he quickly regained his composure.

"Here’s the thing, I’ve been thinking it over carefully; the reason we can’t understand the situation inside the base is because we can’t enter it. So as long as we find a way to get inside, the problem will be solved!"

"Oh my!" Wang Qiang smacked his forehead, pretending to be impressed as he gave a thumbs-up: "Strong! Zhongyu, you’re truly strong! After thinking for so long, you’ve finally figured out what we’re discussing! My goodness, I say, brother, if we could figure out a way in, would we still be stalling like this?"

Wang Zhongyu dismissively waved his hand: "Qiangzi, don’t rush. You have to savor your food and sip your drink slowly. Listen to me finish, alright?"

"Alright! Alright! You speak, continue!" Respectfully making a "please" gesture, but the look in Wang Qiang’s eyes revealed an attitude of disbelief: "I want to see what you can say."

"That’s right. Given the current situation, unless we have an insider, we’re absolutely unable to get into the base. However, if we can’t get in, we can think of other ways!"

Raising his eyes slightly, Wang Zhongyu instinctively flashed an "arrogant" smile.

This was his inherent habit over the years, a form of displaying confidence.

But this "peculiar" behavior easily gets misinterpreted as rebellious by unfamiliar strangers.

At least, from Wang Qiang’s perspective at the moment, he thought the other party was showing off, so...

"Phew~" Wang Qiang exaggeratedly exhaled, rubbing his temples before forcing a smile: "Brother, if you want to suggest using drones for aerial reconnaissance, I can only reply with three words: wishful thinking! Let alone if it’s feasible, even if it is, where would we get that equipment? I’ve lived this long and never seen it on the market!"

Seeing Wang Qiang’s dismissive attitude, Wang Zhongyu not only showed no signs of anger but instead playfully said, "As for this, Qiangzi~ if you truly want to get them, it’s simple. Just log onto Taobao, enter the word ’drone,’ and you’ll certainly find a satisfactory item. Plus, there’s a 7-day replacement guarantee, with cash on delivery!"

Solemnly locking eyes with Wang Qiang, Wang Zhongyu appeared extraordinarily serious, making it impossible to tell he was joking.

And just as Wang Qiang was on the verge of "losing it," Wang Zhongyu suddenly grinned widely, bursting into laughter: "Hahaha! Don’t take it seriously, that was just a joke, a bit of humor to lighten the mood!"

After speaking, Wang Zhongyu calmed down, returning to a serious demeanor: "Although we can’t do aerial reconnaissance, ground reconnaissance might be possible. Xu Ren, you should still remember, we delivered goods today, but it’s not like we never got inside the base!"

"Hmm?" Xu Renjie frowned slightly, clearly puzzled by Wang Zhongyu’s unexpected question.

Though he was perplexed, Tang Xiaoquan seemed to have caught onto something. After a few moments of contemplation, his eyes gleamed, and he murmured to himself, "Could it be... the urban management vehicle?"

"Bingo!" Wang Zhongyu made a finger gun gesture, pointing heavily twice in Tang Xiaoquan’s direction: "That’s right, Xiao Tang, I’m talking about the urban management vehicle! It’s currently the only thing that can freely enter and exit the stadium without any checks."

"Oh come on," Wang Qiang once again voiced his skepticism: "What good is an urban management vehicle being able to enter the stadium? Does it have eyes? Can it speak? No, right? So... this hunk of metal doesn’t see or talk; besides transporting goods and people, what else can you hope for? Be a spy? Stop joking around; I suggest watching fewer sci-fi films!"

It’s unclear whether Wang Zhongyu naturally enjoyed being challenged or if it was because he and Wang Qiang were cut from the same cloth, but remarks that would anger others fell on his ears as if they were nothing.

"Haha, thanks for the advice, brother! However, what you’re saying isn’t entirely correct. Cars have their own spirit; as long as you pay attention, they will... SORRY," realizing he’d gone off topic, Wang Zhongyu quickly corrected himself:

"Indeed, cars themselves don’t have eyes or a mouth. They can’t inform us about the situation inside the base. But, we can artificially add eyes and a mouth to them, making them useful for us!"

Everyone exchanged puzzled looks, but Xu Renjie seemed to grasp something faintly, tilting his head slightly.

"Tell us, what’s your plan?"

"Simple, install a 360-degree low-light surveillance device on the vehicle."

As expected! Tang Xiaoquan straightened up upon hearing this, as what Wang Zhongyu mentioned aligned with his own guess.

However, being unfamiliar with vehicles, Tang Xiaoquan still had several doubts about this proposal.

For example...

"Xiao Wang, this method sounds good, but artificially installing external equipment might easily get noticed by the base’s guards!"

Wang Zhongyu pursed his lips, seemingly having already thought of countermeasures: "This~ I’ve thought about it, but I believe the issue isn’t too big. First, from today’s situation, their focus is entirely on us and the supplies, without any inspection of the vehicles themselves. Secondly, when I install the camera, I certainly won’t place it in an obvious position. I’m confident they won’t notice. Lastly, right now, besides this method, it seems we don’t have a better option."

There’s no denying that Wang Zhongyu’s "three-point" response effectively addressed Tang Xiaoquan’s concerns.

At the moment, they really had no other options to choose from, so...

"There’s one more problem. If we modify it, will it be very troublesome? Are you capable of handling it?"

This was undoubtedly a crucial point; after all, a good method would be wasted if not properly installed.

Especially given that they had only one transport vehicle; if the wiring was incorrect or the vehicle’s central control system was damaged during installation, the loss would be significant.

However, Wang Zhongyu appeared very composed; he’d been playing with cars for over a decade. Although not a professional mechanic, he could handle basic maintenance and installation.

Moreover, installing a surveillance device is not an exceptionally rare task; as long as you know how to use a screwdriver, test lamp, and have some basic electrical knowledge, even an average person who’s never handled a car can take care of it.

Therefore, as a professional driver, Wang Zhongyu confidently made a "V" sign and firmly declared three words:

"No problem!!"
