Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 931: Chapter 916: Ambush Battle (Part 2)

"Old Xu, be careful!"

Xu Renjie’s departure this time meant something that Old Lin was very clear about. Although he trusted Old Xu’s abilities, with the big battle imminent, it was normal to have some concerns.

Old Xu nodded crisply: "Mm, I will. You’ll have to keep a good watch here. After Hua Biao and Li Xiaoxin leave, there will be a shortage of manpower, so you must pay attention to safety."

Having given his instructions, Old Xu led Derek quickly towards the well path.

After a few hours of rest, both Old Xu and Derek were exceptionally energetic, especially Derek, who had long forgotten what it felt like to be full.

Even in the past when he had the chance to exploit mobile assets for personal gain, one must not forget that it was now the apocalypse, and obtaining each piece of resources was a test of life and death.

Moreover, Derek had to rely on the limited resources to comfort the two girls at school.

So...

As the saying goes, a full belly makes for light work.

With the foundation of sleep and a full stomach, Derek’s movements were more agile than before.

Opening the well cover, Old Xu and Derek both entered.

Walking in the well path at dusk was extremely inconvenient. Leaving aside the foul smell, just the pitch-black environment put immense pressure on people.

Old Xu naturally did not care about these things, but considering the young Derek, he still brought a flashlight.

The weak white light flickered around the well path, and the dazzling beam of light gave an indescribable eeriness.

But nonetheless, it ultimately represented "light."

Guided by the "light," Old Xu and Derek reached under the school’s well path relatively smoothly.

Along the way, they still had not encountered any harassment from zombies, which for Old Xu was undoubtedly a "favorable" sign.

Undoubtedly, whether the well path was clear was directly related to the success or failure of this operation.

Then, just like last time, Old Xu and Derek climbed to the 10th floor and sneaked into the other side of the school building.

Upon entering the glass door, Derek exhaled a long breath of relief.

To him, going out was always "worrying," and only through the glass door in front could he feel somewhat at ease.

However, this "ease" was only temporary. It merely meant the outdoor danger had ended. Yet at the same time, indoor danger was just beginning.

Emerging from the corner behind the glass door wall, before Old Xu could even knock on the door, Jiang Kou’s figure appeared.

Clearly, he had been waiting in the guard room for a long time.

"I don’t need to repeat the rules, do I? I believe you all understand what to do?" With a faint smile, Jiang Kou stood with his arms crossed.

Old Xu, hearing this, immediately nodded deferentially: "Understood, understood, Brother Jiang Kou, here is my knife and flashlight for you."

Through the door grating, Old Xu swiftly handed over his weapons and tools.

Finished, he started rolling up sleeves.

Derek was quite speechless at the sight, recalling the promise the man in front of him had made in the car half an hour ago. Derek truly admired the man’s acting skills.

At that moment, he also handed over his weapons with Old Xu.

Jiang Kou was not worried that the two in front of him would dare to play any tricks. After all, in terms of numbers, they had an absolute advantage. In terms of skills, they were all professional judo practitioners. In terms of weapon equipment, they had guns and knives and could crush their opponents.

So, in Jiang Kou’s view, unless Old Xu and Derek had a problem with their heads, even if given the courage, they would not dare to mess around.

"Alright! Come in!" Opening the door, he let Old Xu and Derek in.

Upon seeing the three bags the two carried, Jiang Kou’s eyebrows couldn’t help but knit together: "Did you secure all the supplies?"

Old Xu might not have understood Jiang Kou’s implication, but Derek, who had been dealing with him for half a year, knew very well Jiang Kou’s malicious intent behind the scenes.

And because he understood Jiang Kou’s thoughts, Derek feigned a troubled state and sighed lightly: "It’s okay."

An ambiguous answer, but Derek’s feigned helplessness successfully confused Jiang Kou.

Jiang Kou was smart, but smart people are often very arrogant.

Jiang Kou felt manipulating Derek was as simple as squeezing a persimmon. He didn’t believe, nor did he think Derek would play any tricks on him.

So upon hearing Derek’s sigh, his subconscious feedback was that the young man did not gain much from this trip.

However, seeing Derek’s bulging backpack, Jiang Kou still nodded: "Hehe, Derek, why be so humble? Haven’t you brought them all back? Or..."

The conversation suddenly halted, and Jiang Kou touched his chin, then smiled faintly: "Or is it filled with... Hehe, I say Derek, you know Watanabe Boss’s temper. If you dare to use random things to fool him, trying to pass off ’garbage’, hmm, I advise you to give up this plan. Otherwise... you and this one... your little lives might just... Alas, but I can point out a path to you. It’s just up to you if you’re willing, Derek."

By this point, Old Xu would not miss Jiang Kou’s scheme.

Recalling everything that happened before departure yesterday, Old Xu did not wait for Derek to respond and immediately chimed in: "Uh... this, Brother Jiang Kou, well, what, you, you say, hoping for guidance."

Jiang Kou cast a sidelong glance at Old Xu without responding, then shifted his focus to Derek: "The path I’m talking about, Derek should be very clear. I just want to remind Derek, you’re an intelligent person, you should understand, if you want to protect something, the first thing is to stay alive. Otherwise, if you can’t even keep your own life, how can you protect other things? So you need to sacrifice what should be sacrificed, understand?"

Fists uncontrollably clenched, Derek truly wanted to punch the beast in front of him.

He knew Jiang Kou had coveted Demmi and Zhao Lina for a long time. If it weren’t for Watanabe suppressing things from above, the other party might have already forcibly taken the two women.

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Jiang Kou, I will... consider your suggestion."

It was beyond Jiang Kou’s expectations, he truly did not expect Derek to give such a response.

You must know that he had repeatedly hinted to Derek about "exchanging women for more resources," yet the results were either a direct refusal from Derek or no response at all.

But today, Derek unexpectedly responded so smoothly, even seeming to accept his proposal.

Looking at the backpack on Derek’s back, then at the respect on Xu Renjie’s face, Jiang Kou smiled proudly, thinking to himself: What’s the use of persistence? What’s the use of guarding the bottom line? When it comes to matters of life and death, won’t they still sell their souls?

With a slanted smile, Jiang Kou waved his large hand, then opened his mouth: "Let’s go, wait in the conference room, I’ll get Boss Watanabe and the others over." (To be continued.
