Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 936: Chapter 921: Ambush Battle (7)

"What!?"

Old Xu’s words were undoubtedly a heavy bombshell, Demmi’s eyes rapidly widened, disbelief evident in her gaze.

"Are you crazy? Are you planning... Derrick, do you also have the same idea as him?"

"No, Demmi, don’t be anxious, listen to me."

"Derrick, now is not the time for me to listen to you. You need to think carefully yourself. I know you want to take me away from here. But you’ve seen what those bastards are capable of in the past six months. Let alone anything else, just us few, how could we possibly stand up to those bastards? They are superior in numbers, physical strength, and weaponry. If we confront them, we have no chance of winning. Have you considered the consequences of failure? Derrick, although our lives are a bit harsh now, at least we are temporarily safe. I don’t want something to happen to you because you took risks for me!!"

Demmi’s words were moving; clearly, the woman was concerned about Derrick’s safety.

All of this was entirely within Old Xu’s expectations. He calmly said, "Sister Demmi, calm down a bit and listen to my explanation. First, you also said that this place’s safety is temporary. Right now, Watanabe hasn’t touched you because he needs Little Der to help procure supplies for them. However, procuring supplies is risky. Little Der may not have told you about the outside situation to reassure you, but you are a smart girl; you should know that each time he goes out, it might be goodbye. I know these words make you uncomfortable, but it’s the truth, an unavoidable truth. And once something happens to Little Der, what kind of outcome you and Zhao Lina might face need not be said—you already know in your heart."

"Secondly, fighting against the ’Japan’ gang, yes, they’re not weak in numbers, weapons, or strength, but these aren’t the decisive factors. The key to victory or defeat in battle is actually very complex. It’s not something that can be explained in a few words, but ultimately it depends on the participants involved. I won’t get long-winded with you. I’ll simply tell you, if we talk about numbers, they’re not more than us. If we talk about equipment, we are absolutely stronger than them. As for strength and combat power, haha, Sister Demmi, rest assured. For those evil forces daring to run wild in Huaxia Country, from the moment they started their atrocities, they’ve already been sentenced to death."

"Lastly, about the issue of where to regroup after the action, near this school, there is a village which is our team’s base. While the facilities aren’t perfect yet, it’s definitely much better than here."

"So Demmi, trust us, we value life too, we fear death too, we understand what failure means. Therefore, we won’t move recklessly without full preparation and certainty."

It must be said, Old Xu’s explanation was already very detailed and comprehensive, but he apparently overlooked the woman’s thoughts.

Indeed, Demmi has doubts about the action itself, but she’s not entirely motivated by fear; on the contrary, she’s concerned about Derrick’s safety.

This is understandable - although their previous life was ’poor’, it was at least safe and stable.

Despite the ’Japan’ students withholding their food supplies and occasionally finding fault with them, they haven’t done anything excessively aggressive due to Watanabe’s contract constraints.

But now, ever since Derrick met Old Xu and Lei Tong, the whole situation has changed. Derrick, who had never planned to escape, suddenly had the idea to overthrow Watanabe.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this notion; Demmi also hopes Watanabe and his group get overthrown and receive their deserved punishment.

But how could this matter be accomplished so easily? One must know, some Huaxia students tried this uprising before, and what was the result? They were brutally suppressed by Watanabe’s group.

"Old Xu, I’m not doubting your abilities, it’s just that right now, all Derrick, Zhao Lina, and I wish for is to live steadily. You haven’t been here long, so you don’t understand the true nature of those bastards. You might not know, but they’re trained in judo, each of them is skilled. Moreover, they have guns, but what about us? We don’t even have a paper cutter. You said you wouldn’t act without full confidence, so I hope you can dismiss your plans, and don’t risk everyone’s lives!"

Demmi tried her best to suppress her inner anxiety, but even so, her furrowed brows and rapid speech clearly exposed her concern.

To this, Old Xu was somewhat helpless. After all, he had already said what needed to be said, and explained what needed to be explained. Besides, he wasn’t here this time for Demmi and Derrick. His main goal was Zhao Lina.

However, to ensure the rescue goes smoothly, Demmi’s concern must be alleviated. Because if she is not reassured, she might cause unforeseen problems during the action.

Helplessly, Old Xu could only turn his gaze toward Derrick on the side. The young man knew the strength of his team and had seen their base, so he should have a good understanding of them.

Moreover, he was familiar with the action process itself, so letting him explain things to his woman might be more convincing than Old Xu doing it himself.

What Old Xu didn’t realize was that Derrick himself was also apprehensive now.

Indeed, he wanted to take Demmi out of this hellhole, a thought that had hovered in his mind ever since the ’Japan’ bastards started harming Huaxia students.

But the reason he never acted on it was Demmi; Zhao Lina is a woman, and he couldn’t figure out a way to escape from the 10th floor with them.

Now, Derrick’s concerns remain the same. If it were just him, there would be nothing to say—he could fight those ’Japan’ students, and even if the action failed, he would earn the title of ’being a man.’

But now it’s not possible. Although he’s not married to Demmi yet, in Derrick’s heart, Demmi is the person he loves dearly, and he’s already decided that she is the one who will accompany him throughout his life.

So Derrick must consider the potential consequences, and his hesitation and indecision were making Old Xu feel uneasy.

No doubt, if Derrick backs out at this critical moment, tonight’s action by our side might have to be postponed and reconsidered.

After weighing things over, Old Xu had to resort to the Big Killer.

"Alright! I can see you’re very concerned about tonight’s action. Let me be honest with you, Lei Tong and I have a military background. Our team has faced hardships and dangers beyond your imagination. Demmi, about guns, we have them! But dealing with those ’Japan’ trash doesn’t require them at all!" (To be continued.
