Rotting Land: Survive-Chapter 433 - 431: Reunion (9)

Lin Junfu meticulously recounted yesterday’s events to Xu Renjie one by one, and upon hearing the name Zhao Huilong, both Zhao Yunhai and Wang Zhongyu revealed expressions of astonishment.

The people in the base might not know, but they have witnessed firsthand the scene of the latter’s car wreck.

So, for Zhao Huilong to escape death like this, the survivors were shocked and sighed at the heavens for turning a blind eye.

"Damn it! That bastard is still alive! If I had known, I should have killed him at the City Management Bureau back then!" Wang Qiang slammed the table in anger, his eyes burning with fury.

Xu Renjie didn’t care about Zhao Huilong’s fate; what he was more concerned about were his three subordinates.

There’s no doubt that if Lin Junfu’s description was accurate, their lives were likely in grave danger.

Even if their lives weren’t threatened immediately, a beating and torture were inevitable.

Thinking about this made Xu Renjie’s blood boil, and his fists clenched tightly on the table.

Old Zhao watched Xu Renjie’s movements closely, worried he might act out of character due to agitation.

Seeing his growing tension, Zhao quickly voiced his concern, "Um~ I feel, though the three warriors are at the base, Dai Sha might not act against them so soon, after all, he has to consider our side."

To be honest, saying this even Zhao Yunhai himself wasn’t very confident.

After all, with just their few people and equipment, what grounds do they have for Dai Sha to be cautious?

Xu Renjie still didn’t speak, his stiff expression seemed as if he wanted to devour someone.

"Damn! Tomorrow is delivery day. If worse comes to worst, we’ll just go demand the people directly!" Unable to bear the oppressive mood, Wang Qiang stood up, ready to start something big.

"Don’t be reckless! What do you mean go demand people? Sit down!" Old Zhao glared at Wang Qiang angrily and motioned him to sit.

Seeing the situation reach a deadlock, Lin Junfu cleared his throat twice, "Ahem~ speaking of tomorrow’s delivery, my personal opinion is that it’s best not to go! If we go at this critical juncture, who knows what Dai Sha might do."

"But if we don’t go, what about the three warriors? Don’t forget Dai Sha said clearly that he’d exchange supplies for Luo Yi and their safety, so if we don’t go tomorrow, I guarantee, Dai Sha that bastard will definitely act against the warriors!"

Wang Qiang was increasingly righteously indignant, it’s just his nature, he doesn’t like beating around the bush, so he vehemently opposed Lin Junfu’s idea of retreating when faced with difficulties.

For a moment, the survivors were divided into two factions regarding whether to deliver supplies tomorrow, and a fierce discussion ensued.

Seeing the discussion turn into an argument, the silent Xu Renjie finally couldn’t bear it and stopped both sides.

"Everyone, let’s not argue. Let me say a few words! First, my subordinates, I’m definitely going to rescue them, whether alive or dead! Secondly, I will go for tomorrow’s delivery, but this is our Sharp Blade Company’s matter, no need for you all to come along! Finally, I’m glad to have met you, but due to the current situation, I urge you to leave this place, because knowing Dai Sha, I believe he might launch a surprise attack here. That’s all I have to say!"

The plain words had no fluctuations, but to the survivors, it felt like a whip whipping their cheeks.

Especially Lin Junfu who wished he could find a hole to crawl into, although his intention wasn’t out of cowardice or fear of death.

But thinking of the past days, knowing these warriors risking their lives to gather supplies, a deep sense of guilt surged uncontrollably in his heart.

Wang Qiang simply stood up to express his stance, "Captain Xu, I, Wang Qiang, might not be eloquent! But rest assured, I’m not afraid to die, so it’s off to the gym to deliver supplies, I’ll go with you tomorrow!"

Wang Qiang meant well, he just wanted to make his position clear.

But he hadn’t realized that some things are not resolved just by making a stance.

At least, at this critical juncture, saying such words not only didn’t solve the problem but also pushed his companions to a point where decisions were necessary.

This is a trait of the Huaxia people, simply put it’s saving face, meaning when someone steps forward for a viewpoint, others would feel without showing themselves, it seems irresponsible. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Tang Xiaoquan was troubled by his brother’s words.

Of course, he didn’t blame Wang Qiang, knowing him well enough to know it’s out of genuine concern rather than for show.

But as for Tang Xiaoquan himself, he didn’t agree with Xu Renjie risking the trip to the gym tomorrow.

He felt it would be no different from seeking death, or simply put, walking straight into danger.

Originally, he intended to follow Xu Renjie’s lead to feign withdrawal and then naturally part ways with him.

But now, with Wang Qiang’s stance, leaving seems very dishonorable.

Knowing that without Xu Renjie and the warriors for their regular efforts to gather supplies and stabilize Dai Sha, they couldn’t have held out for the "shaft rescue" design.

So, after considering for a long time, Tang Xiaoquan slowly spoke, "Captain Xu, Qiang’s words reflect our sentiment, since leaving the base we’re with you, sharing joys and hardships. So Luo Yi is our brother too, and we definitely won’t stand by. Of course, to rescue them, careful planning is needed, as reckless actions lead nowhere."

"I think tomorrow we’ll proceed like usual. Xiao Wang drives, you, I, and Lei Tong will head to the base, all acting like ’we know nothing’. Meanwhile, Old Lin and the others should stay in hiding and move the bus beneath! If Dai Sha comes with people, act like nothing happened. If successful, we might gain a bit of rescue time. As for other things, wait and see Dai Sha’s reaction tomorrow."

Both Xu Renjie and the Survivor Team initially opposed but eventually were convinced by Tang Xiaoquan’s persuasive words, finalizing tomorrow’s supply delivery plans. (To be continued.
