Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 933: Chapter 918: Ambush Battle (Part 4)

"Tell me, did you find a large supermarket or mall?"

If this news could be confirmed, Watanabe felt that he wouldn’t have to worry about his status for a long time.

Although Old Xu couldn’t fully comprehend Watanabe’s thoughts, he understood that discussing this issue broadly couldn’t hurt.

"Hehe, as expected of Watanabe, the boss. You see through things clearly. We hadn’t even mentioned it, and you already guessed... oh no, no, you saw it."

Being flattered by someone a whole generation older made Watanabe feel both nauseous and a bit proud.

However, he didn’t show much on his face, keeping it tense, and pursued, "Then how long will it take to finish collecting those supplies?"

"Well..." Old Xu paused, "smacking" his lips, then said with some difficulty, "It’s like this, um... Boss Watanabe, you know we only went out with two people today, and carrying three backpacks is our limit. If there were no, no zombies blocking the way, going in through the main entrance, we could bring more with us. But climbing ten floors and bringing all those things back is really..."

"Baka! What do you mean!? Are you complaining to us? Don’t forget your identity! What you’re supposed to do! What you’re supposed to say! Use your brain well!" Suddenly shouting, Yamashita again "abused his authority" to scold Old Xu.

Hearing this, Old Xu quickly apologized and explained, "No, no no, Brother Yamashita, I, I, you misunderstood me. I wasn’t trying to complain to Boss Watanabe. It’s just that with this manpower, at this pace, if we want to empty the place where we found supplies, I’m afraid... it would, would..."

Glancing over Watanabe, Yamashita, and the other "Japanese" students, Old Xu continued with wandering eyes, "I’m afraid it would take quite some time."

"So what do you mean?" Jiang Kou followed up with a question, but there was a somewhat malicious smile at the corner of his lips.

Old Xu didn’t think much of it, since they would take action tonight anyway, whatever thought the other party had would be futile against absolute power.

"I mean, if we could get some extra manpower, then the progress would be much faster."

"Hehe, do you mean to send your brother to help you, what do you think about that?"

"That, that would be best, my brother is strong, doesn’t have any other skills but has great strength. If he could go with us to gather supplies, the amount we bring back would definitely double." Old Xu still performed his act diligently, not realizing that Jiang Kou had set a trap for him.

This time, the self-smart Yamashita, not waiting for Jiang Kou to reply, grabbed the chance and said first, "What!? Send that big oaf with you!? Ah, so I see you Huaxia people just know how to play tricks! But..."

His expression changed suddenly, and the originally calm tone of Yamashita sharply increased in pitch, "But do you take us for fools? Do you think we can’t see through your elaborate plans? Heh, heh! I say, how come you brought back so much supplies today, are you planning to escape with that big oaf?"

Hearing this, Old Xu realized that he fell into Jiang Kou’s trap.

Without a doubt, this matter was very serious. If he couldn’t explain clearly, his head would indeed be at risk.

After all, currently, the school had three laborers who could go out to gather supplies, losing him might reduce the collection efforts. But given the harsh methods of the "Japanese" students, they would likely "kill the chicken to scare the monkey" to warn Derek.

"No, no no!" Old Xu blurted out in panic, though he appeared nervous, he still remained calm inside, "Brother Yamashita, you, you say that... how could, could I have plans to escape, I, I just wanted to bring back more supplies for everyone."

"Baka! Watch your words, Huaxia man! When did we become ’everyone’ with you!? Boss Watanabe, this Huaxia man is very dishonest, just look, did Derrick ever bring back so much supplies in the past six months? Did he ever say he found a huge storage of supplies? No, he didn’t. So why did they find a good spot once he was with this Huaxia man? I think this is not simple. Now he is trying to find ways to take that big oaf away. They are planning to escape!!"

Yamashita’s accusations were undoubtedly very dangerous, and Derek knew that if he didn’t step up to explain now, the consequences would be unimaginable at Watanabe’s command.

So, without caring about anything else, Derek took a step forward and rarely showed a firm side, he faced Yamashita’s venomous gaze, not dodging, he said, "Yamashita-kun! You can scold me however you like, but please search your conscience, if I really wanted to escape, I could have left half a year ago. Why would I stay here and risk my life every day for supplies?"

"Hmph! That’s because your two chicks are in our hands, you want to protect them, keep them safe, which is why you didn’t leave."

"Yes! Since Yamashita-kun still remembers that, I would like to ask, why do you think I would help them escape now? If they left, what would my six months of effort mean?"

"That’s all talk, but if you take those two chicks away, where could we find you?"

"Heh, I take them away? Yamashita-kun don’t be carried away, just here, who among you can climb from the 10th floor to the bottom? If anyone can, step forward!" His gaze swept over the "Japanese" students in front of him, Derek raised his head for the first time, questioning these jerks who had oppressed him for half a year without arrogance or inferiority.

Facing Derek’s tough stance, not only Yamashita but also other "Japanese" students jumped out of anger:

"Baka yarou! Derrick, do you know what you’re saying? Are you openly challenging the spirit of our great ’Japanese’ warriors?"

"Hmph, you really think you’re something, do you want to threaten us?"

"Derrick! Do you realize who gave you the chance to survive?"

"You need to know the difference between a person and a dog!"

...

One word from here, another from there, the "Japanese" students endlessly vented their inner grievances like a flood.

In response, Derek wasn’t bothered at all, he waited for the students to calm down before speaking softly, "I have no intention to provoke you, nor do I plan to threaten you. The reason I asked is to tell you that even you all can’t accomplish this task. How could Demmi and Zhao Lina possibly do it? Boss Watanabe, my final word, I’ve always been acting according to the agreement we made. I’m very clear about my identity and position. I’ve never thought of escaping, nor could I take two women and leave, since they are under your control, this alone should explain some things." (To be continued.
