Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 932: Chapter 917: Ambush Battle (Part 3)

According to Jiang Kou’s instructions, Derek and Old Xu went ahead to wait in the meeting room.

It’s called a meeting room, but in fact, it’s the classroom where Old Xu previously had a contest with Yamashita.

After waiting for a while, the Japanese students began to trickle in.

Most of them looked listless, as if they had taken a heavy dose, yawning incessantly. Some were outright displeased and cursed: "Baka! Jiang Kou-kun, I was sleeping well, why did you call me up!?"

"Yeah, Jiang Kou, this isn’t meal time. Why gather everyone for nothing?"

Jiang Kou ignored everyone’s complaints. He pointed to the center of the classroom at Old Xu and Derek, then chuckled lightly: "Oh, I gathered everyone here because Derek has returned!"

"If he’s back, he’s back, what does it have to do with me!"

"Exactly! Don’t tell me you woke me up for these two guys."

Facing the accusations, Jiang Kou shrugged: "Doesn’t everyone want to know what Derek brought back for us? Don’t forget the orders from Watanabe-sama yesterday. Derek was supposed to redeem himself this time by bringing back triple the supplies. So I thought you all might be interested in Derek’s results."

With Jiang Kou’s reminder, the originally lazy and scattered Japanese students suddenly perked up.

Especially those with special requests, they immediately shouted out:

"Hey, Derek, did you get the HAPPY products I asked for?"

"Hehe, Sakuragi, you’ve already messed with that girl like that, and you still want to trouble her. Hey, Derek, you didn’t forget the cigarettes and alcohol you promised me, did you?"

While the Japanese students each started demanding their items, a man’s deep cough came from the entrance of the classroom.

"Cough, cough, uh... Watanabe-sama is here, make way quickly!" Yamashita ordered the gathered Japanese students with borrowed authority.

Seeing the main person arrive, Jiang Kou approached with a sinister tone: "Hehe, Watanabe-sama, Derek is back. Before he left, you asked him to bring back triple the supplies, so now it’s time to check the results."

Watanabe didn’t look at Jiang Kou; he glanced at Derek and Xu Renjie in the center of the classroom.

Finally, his gaze settled on the three large bags in front of them, which were bulging, clearly stuffed with items.

This made Watanabe very pleased. After all, last time Derek returned empty-handed, and the supplies at the base immediately became scarce.

There’s nothing he can do since there are so many mouths to feed under him. Even though he’s in the top position, Watanabe knows that if he can’t ensure the rations for his subordinates, being ousted is just a matter of time.

"Derek, it looks like you fulfilled your promise?" He asked ambiguously, but even a fool could hear the hint of pleasure in Watanabe’s slightly relaxed tone.

Derek still feigned difficulty, discreetly glanced at Jiang Kou. As their eyes met, Derek swallowed and then once again provided a non-committal answer: "Uh... Watanabe-sama, I tried my best to get the stuff, just not sure if it will satisfy you."

"Hehe, Derek, you’re too modest. Bringing back so many supplies, I’m sure you did your best. However, we agreed beforehand, the reason you went out to gather supplies was to redeem yourself. So if you think you can pass with useless items, then you’re really not taking our Watanabe-sama seriously."

"No, no, no, Jiang Kou-brother, Watanabe-sama, we absolutely have no intention of deceiving you. We collected the items according to your requirements. You, you can check it!" Old Xu, aligning with Derek’s tone, nervously interrupted.

It would have been better if he hadn’t spoken, as soon as he did, Yamashita immediately got annoyed. The humiliation from yesterday’s contest plagued him and caused him constant shame afterward.

The Japanese students below constantly mocked Yamashita for his "Cockroach" spirit. This invisibly exacerbated Yamashita’s grudge against Old Xu.

So...

"Baka!! Whether you followed the requirements or not is not up to you! I’m telling you, Jiang Kou-kun is right, you’re redeeming yourselves this time, if you dare to use useless things to make up the numbers, don’t blame us for being rude to you!!"

Even a fool could hear that Yamashita was taking revenge for personal grievances, but this is Japanese territory; Old Xu and Derek couldn’t argue.

"Alright! Stop babbling! Open the bags and check the goods!" His expression darkened, perhaps having heard Jiang Kou and Yamashita’s "concerns", Watanabe’s previously good mood suddenly turned gloomy, even his speech took on a stern tone.

"Ah, ah, ah, we, we’ll open it right now, right now!" Old Xu nudged Derek beside him, quickly unzipping the bags and started to take out supplies.

"These, these are instant noodles, rice, and flour!"

"This, these are canned food, drinks, mineral water."

"Ah, Little De’s bag has the cigarettes and alcohol you wanted, and, uh... also some snacks. Uh, due to limited carrying capacity, there are still some more, so... they’ll have to wait until tomorrow for us to bring them to you."

Full of trepidation, Old Xu was like a vassal king offering tribute, fearing that the "imperial relatives" in front of him would be dissatisfied with the supplies he brought.

However, after seeing the supplies Old Xu took out, the Japanese students’ eyes almost turned green, looking like hungry wolves in the jungle who hadn’t eaten for months, some even drooling at the corners of their mouths.

But, unlike the joyous and excited others, Jiang Kou was filled with incredulity and astonishment.

By his calculation, Derek shouldn’t be able to achieve such bountiful results.

Consider this: it’s been over half a year, and he had never returned with such abundant supplies as today.

Yet today, despite Xu Renjie’s injury and the doubled quantity of supplies, he not only didn’t breach the agreement but also overachieved the task perfectly.

This honestly baffled Jiang Kou. If Derek was truly capable of such feats, why were the supplies he brought back over the past six months always so sparse?

Could he be hoarding outside? Is he planning to escape?

This bold speculation popped into Jiang Kou’s mind, but then he immediately relaxed again.

After all, Derek’s efforts to protect Demmi and Zhao Lina were evident; if he truly planned on leaving, why wait this long to take action?

Watanabe was now overjoyed; having these things meant that his position was secured.

Besides, from Old Xu’s words earlier, Watanabe guessed that they might have found a substantial reserve of supplies outside.

Thus, if they could transport all those things back, well... hehe, a meaningful smile appeared on the corners of Watanabe’s lips. (To be continued.
