Rotting Land: Survive-Chapter 371 - 369: Surveillance (Part 3)

"Yo, the goods from those idiots have arrived again!"

"We better check if there’s anything good this time, don’t want it to be like last time, all useless clothes."

"This time, it’s different, damn it, booze! Cigarettes! We’re gonna make a fortune, guys!"

Upon hearing this, the corner of Zhao Yunhai’s lips curled into a slightly mocking smile, while his eyes inadvertently glanced at the young man fiddling with his bangs on the opposite side.

Xiao Tang’s prediction was correct, premium booze and cigarettes indeed caught the attention of these "jerks."

But Zhao Yunhai’s sneer hadn’t even lasted a few seconds before a familiar and detested voice came through the monitor.

"Zhao Huilong~ you keep watch here, I’m going over there for a smoke, shout for me when you’re ready!"

"Alright, Brother Wei, go enjoy your smoke, no need to rush with moving the stuff, last time we delayed them by half an hour, this time it should be at least 40 minutes!"

"Fuck, no wonder you guys do things so slowly every time, turns out this bastard’s the one causing trouble! Damn it, if I ever get the chance, I’m gonna beat this bastard to the point he can’t take care of himself anymore!"

"Don’t worry, Qiang, we will definitely get that chance!"

Seeing Wang Qiang erupt, Wu Chao, sharing the same thought, raised his fist in agreement. Clearly, Zhao Huilong’s various actions had reached a point of being universally detested within the Survivor Team.

Unlike the general populace, the fighters focused entirely on the internal defensive layout of the base.

Li Xiaoxin, quick-eyed and quick-handed, pointed to the four corners on the display screen and quickly reminded, "Captain, look at these 4 gates, aside from the 6 guards we have at the south gate for our mission handover, the defenses on the west, north, and east are relatively weak."

"Yeah! Those three sides, only 4 guards each, and none of them are armed! Seems like Dai Sha doesn’t quite trust his people!" Lei Tong boldly speculated while rubbing his crew-cut head.

Xu Renjie nodded in affirmation.

He also noticed from the surveillance inside the stadium that Scar had indeed concentrated his forces at the south gate used for delivery, indicating a considerable amount of caution towards their grain-moving operations.

Moreover, the screen’s depiction of weapon distribution also illustrated Scar’s attitude towards his subordinates.

At least, from what could be seen now, he’s not yet daring to arm every gang member with firearms.

Perhaps he too is worried that one day his own crew might just use the same method to overthrow him.

"Hey! Captain, over here, on the sports field, look at these guys with the weapons!" As Xu Renjie continued his analysis, Hua Biao, closer to the screen, suddenly stood up as if discovering a new continent, pointing repeatedly toward the side of the screen.

Following his direction, the survivors indeed spotted several young men wielding cleavers in the tent area of the sports field.

"Heh, this definitely fits Dai Sha’s style, I bet that if we rush into the base, nine out of ten he’d use the civilians inside as hostages!"

After speaking, Wang Zhongyu also felt a bit helpless, subconsciously glancing at a few of the fighters, his neck involuntarily swaying twice.

For Wang Zhongyu, who had a few operational experiences with these soldiers, he knew very well that if the above situation occurred, these soldiers beside him would surely sacrifice resistance for the civilians in the base.

As a normal person, Wang Zhongyu didn’t really know how to judge this situation, after all, he didn’t have the same "everyone for me, and I for everyone" noble spirit as the soldiers.

Anyway, if he were to encounter such a situation, he’d prefer to take down those bastards first without a second thought.

Otherwise, negotiating with these soulless bastards was no different from making deals with the devil.

The observation continued, the discussion went on, and listening to the soldiers talk, the straightforward Wang Qiang jumped straight in: "I say, guys, since the defenses in the west, north, and east are so weak, why don’t we hit them from those three sides?"

"Haha, Xiao Wang! That’s a good thought, but the problem is, how would we do it! Look at this wall, it’s at least 30 meters high, even with professional equipment, it’s no easy feat to climb to the top and sneak in!"

"Yeah, Xiao Wang, Hua Zi’s right. Think about it, even if we could climb and sneak in, taking down 4 guards silently and simultaneously isn’t as simple as it sounds!"

Although he didn’t fully understand, the towering walls made Wang Qiang’s momentary passion quickly wane.

"Haha, we mustn’t rush this kind of thing. Whether it’s a direct assault or a sneak attack, without a detailed and concrete plan, moving hastily is definitely out of the question! Scar still has weapons in hand after all, and those aren’t kitchen fire sticks!"

Unfamiliar with Wang Qiang’s character, Shen Lian couldn’t quite grasp why the young man would propose such a naive idea and gently offered his view.

The straightforward Wang Qiang couldn’t gather the subtle meaning in the words, still absorbed in the frustration of having "no tactics," mumbling incessantly to himself: "Damn it, this won’t work, that won’t work, if only I could burrow through the earth, that’d be great!"

Undoubtedly, Wang Qiang’s words were purely in jest, even he hadn’t seriously considered the feasibility of it.

After all, he was past the age of wild fantasies, and ideas such as flying and burrowing should exist only in children’s innocent imaginations.

But casually spoken, seriously heard; the phrase stuck with Zhao Yunhai, who was intently observing the monitor. He suddenly turned and stared straight at Wang Qiang, who was startled by the unexpected action, confusedly asking in a low voice:

"What’s with you, Old Zhao! Trying to scare me to death?"

"What did you just say?"

"Huh?"

"I’m asking, what were you mumbling just now!"

"Me?" Hesitating for a few seconds, Wang Qiang uncertainly replied, "I asked why you’re trying to scare me like that..."

"Not that, the sentence before!!"

"The sentence before?" Thinking briefly, Wang Qiang’s eyebrows knitted: "What do you mean, Old Wang? I was just joking, how come you’re still..."

"What exactly did you say!!"

Seeing Zhao Yunhai’s serious expression, Wang Qiang almost instinctively blurted out: "I said it’d be great if I could burrow through the earth, why? Is there a problem with that? I was just wanting to..."

Wang Qiang’s buzzing voice gradually diminished, Zhao Yunhai seemingly tuned out the meaningless words, whereas in his consciousness a voice kept lingering: "If only I could burrow through the earth."

"Burrow through the earth? Burrow through the earth! Right! We can ’burrow through the earth’!!" (To be continued.
