Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 938: Chapter 923: Ambush Battle (9)

"What do you plan to do? Do you need us to cooperate with you?"

Since Derek agreed to cooperate with Old Xu and the others, Demmi had no objections.

"You don’t need to do anything, just act as usual."

Undoubtedly, as a woman, Demmi couldn’t really help Old Xu and Lei Tong at this critical moment.

The reason Old Xu explained the facts of the action to Demmi was to hope she would remain calm during the operation.

"Is there really nothing we need to do? I mean..."

"Haha, no need, as I said, Demmi, this time we’re primarily here to rescue old Zhao’s daughter. So, I don’t want to drag you and Derek into this. If things go wrong, at least you can push the responsibility onto us and save your lives."

The intention behind Old Xu’s words was to protect Demmi and Derek, but he underestimated Demmi’s character.

Although Demmi initially had reservations and was reluctant to help them, it was all out of love for Derek.

Now that the person she loves has decided to cooperate with Old Xu and Lei Tong, as Derek’s woman, Demmi has completely cleared all concerns from her heart.

She is the kind of stubborn woman who, once she makes a decision, will fight fiercely to move forward.

So...

"Old Xu, I don’t care for what you said. Do you see Derek and me as people who are afraid to die? If we were really afraid to die, we wouldn’t have agreed to your request. Do you think if your action fails, Derek and I can avoid responsibility? Since we’re all on the same boat, I hope it’s better for us to be honest. Derek and I aren’t the kind who need to wait for others to save us while hiding in the back!"

Demmi’s words had a touch of reproach, but Old Xu was mature enough not to take it personally.

Moreover, she spoke from the heart, so not only did Old Xu not find Demmi excessive, he actually developed a fondness for her.

Unexpectedly, beneath her gentle appearance was such a stubborn heart. Good! Good! The team needs such women.

After all, compared to those charming vases or pretentious princesses, women like Demmi who are self-reliant and resilient are more in line with the current situation.

Understanding Demmi’s mindset, Old Xu awkwardly chuckled and apologetically said, "Demmi, please don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean to look down on you when I said that. It’s just that this operation has already been planned on our end, so we don’t need you and little Derek’s help for now. But if anything unexpected happens tonight, I’ll ask for your assistance immediately."

Compared to Demmi, Derek was very familiar with Old Xu’s plan for tonight, so he knew they really couldn’t help.

So, he gently stroked Demmi’s head and smiled, "Demmi, trust Old Xu and the others. They have their plan. What we need to do is help them dispel any suspicion from Japanese students towards us."

"What!? They... No, I mean, what do you mean by suspicion? Have those bastards realized something?"

"Haha, darling, don’t get nervous, I was just saying, look at you all scared." Derek lightly tapped Demmi’s nose, his face full of affection.

"Oh, that’s what you meant. You scared me to death; I thought those bastards knew your plan." She feigned a gasp of relief, patting her own chest as she exhaled lightly.

"By the way, Demmi, how is Lina doing? After we left, has her fever persisted?" Having explained the evening plans to Demmi, Old Xu immediately shifted focus to Zhao Lina.

To be honest, ever since the girl started having a fever, Old Xu had been worried about her condition.

Though a cold and fever aren’t much, in the apocalypse, even minor illnesses can be deadly.

Moreover, Zhao Lina is in such a weak state that Old Xu truly fears she might have an accident.

If so, how could he face old Zhao, who is anxiously awaiting at the settlement!

"Lina still has a mild fever, but she’s conscious now. She’s just weak, so tonight I’ll make her some porridge with the supplies you brought back. It should help a lot."

Hearing Demmi’s response, Old Xu couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows, thinking: Lina has suffered so much over the past year. No matter what, tonight, we must settle those Japanese brats so we can take Lina away from here as soon as possible.

"Oh, right!" Suddenly remembering the capsule hidden in his pocket, Old Xu quickly reached in to retrieve it.

Jiang Kou didn’t discover this item during the room check. Old Xu handed the capsule to Demmi: "Demmi, please give this to Lina. Also, don’t tell her about tonight’s action or anything regarding her father yet. She’s sick now and can’t get too worked up. Once we deal with the Japanese students tonight, we’ll find a chance to tell her gradually."

Demmi understood Old Xu’s intention, nodded, and got up to feed Zhao Lina the medicine.

Time slipped into darkness during Old Xu and the others’ conversation, while the Japanese students’ festivities had just begun.

Just as Old Xu and the others predicted, the jubilant Japanese students gathered in the meeting room from 7 PM onwards.

The captured female students were routinely brought inside, and soon the meeting room became filled with dancing and music.

"What’s the update, Captain?" Lei Tong moved closer, crouching in the corner.

Old Xu lowered the curtain, a cold smile playing at his lips: "They’ve taken the bait, those bastards are enjoying their life."

Lei Tong glanced out, and upon seeing the unsightly reflection on the curtain, he clenched his fist tightly: "These damned dogs, tonight I’m going to teach them a lesson about how to act!"

Meanwhile, as Old Xu and Lei Tong monitored the Japanese students’ activities.

Demmi brought a pot of noodles to the table.

"Old Xu, the noodles are done, come and eat!"

She lifted the lid, revealing the exceptionally enticing noodles inside.

Demmi hadn’t seen complete instant noodles for a long time, especially with the seasoning packets that now filled the air with captivating aromas, leaving her enchanted. Even Lei Tong’s stomach growled at the enticing smell.

Old Xu knew Lei Tong hadn’t eaten enough yesterday, so he patted his shoulder to signal him to go eat.

While he continued to stay at his post, closely observing the Japanese students’ movements.

This is a crucial task, Old Xu needs to thoroughly identify every Japanese student’s precise whereabouts to ensure the action goes smoothly tonight. (To be continued.
