Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 942: Chapter 927: Ambush Battle (13)

"That’s great!!" Upon hearing Hua Biao’s translation, Old Lin excitedly slapped his thigh, making a "pa" sound.

It’s no wonder Old Lin was so excited. The dots of firelight on the rooftop meant not only the signal for the operation to begin but also the safety of his closest people.

"Send a message back to Old Xu and let him know we’ve understood, and we’ll take action soon!" Tang Xiaoquan immediately instructed Hua Biao. He knew that every minute, every second at this moment was extremely precious, with Old Xu taking the risk to climb to the rooftop. They needed to reply back quickly so he could return indoors to prevent any accidents.

"Okay! I’ll send it now!"

Hua Biao nodded, took out the infrared flashlight prepared in advance.

This flashlight, available in regular stores, is characterized by its long range and narrow beam.

Even if used in the middle of the night, it wouldn’t be detected by zombies.

Using Morse code rules, Hua Biao repeatedly flicked the flashlight switch.

By leveraging the time difference in switching, Hua Biao transmitted the acknowledgment of Old Xu’s information.

Seeing the red light flash inside the convoy vehicle on the street, Old Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

Without pausing, he responded immediately: "I’ll be waiting for you at the entrance gate, stay safe!!"

After sending this message twice, Old Xu extinguished the cloth in his hand.

He then swiftly returned to the side of the building and began sliding down the route he’d taken to come up.

"How is it? What did Old Xu say?" Lin Junfu, who couldn’t understand the meaning of Old Xu’s fire signal, asked anxiously.

Hua Biao turned off the infrared flashlight and solemnly replied, "The commander said he’s received our message and will wait for us at the entrance of the campus building. He told us to be careful during the operation."

"Got it!" Old Lin nodded, knowing it wasn’t the time for unnecessary talk, and immediately reported the communication process with Old Xu to Wang Qiang and Wei Dazhuang in the rear vehicle.

Afterward, he called on Hua Biao and Li Xiaoxin to prepare.

The preparation mainly involved reconfirming the equipment they needed to carry.

They had already settled all this before Old Xu’s departure.

But for safety’s sake, Old Lin felt it prudent to check it once more.

Knife, 92 Handgun, climbing rope, and a pack of supplies.

These were all the equipment Hua Biao and Li Xiaoxin needed to carry.

The knife was chosen because it is convenient for hiding and assassination.

The 92 Handgun was more for intimidation, as Japanese students were ordinary people who hadn’t undergone professional training or experienced the baptism of war, so the mere sight of a gun was more intimidating than other weapons.

Initially, Old Xu was not planning to carry firearms, fearing that an accidental discharge might injure other Huaxia students or the gunfire might cause unnecessary trouble.

But after Tang Xiaoquan’s persuasion, he ultimately agreed to bring a gun.

According to the young man’s argument, carrying a gun is to quickly quell the Japanese students’ fighting spirit, making them give up resistance and reducing potential accidents.

As for the supplies and climbing ropes, those were to deal with unexpected situations.

This stems from the special ops habit of strategizing multiple plans as a part of tactical literacy.

After all, any mission carries the risk of failure, and the unpredictable nature of the operation must be met with preparedness.

So, during an insurance phase, having necessary supplies and survival gear ensures Old Xu won’t be caught empty-handed when crises occur.

Moreover, even after a successful operation, rescuing the trapped students won’t be straightforward.

This is a systematic undertaking, highlighting the crucial importance of supplies within.

"Everything’s set!" Hua Biao zipped up the backpack and handed the short-blade gun to Li Xiaoxin while he himself donned the backpack, binoculars, and a strong flashlight.

After preparing, Old Lin surveyed the surroundings, confirmed there were no signs of zombies, then signaled Hua Biao and Li Xiaoxin for action.

Upon seeing this, Hua Biao and Li Xiaoxin immediately opened the rear trunk door and jumped out.

Old Lin and Tang Xiaoquan then seriously instructed, "Hua Biao, Xiaoxin, be cautious in everything, and Old Zhao’s daughter is entrusted to you!!"

Hua Biao and Li Xiaoxin nodded without answering, yet their resolute eyes clearly demonstrated their determined attitude.

Old Xu returned to the classroom smoothly, and during his absence, thankfully nothing unexpected happened.

Demmi and Derek sighed a breath of relief upon seeing Old Xu land.

They had been worried that if the Japanese students suddenly checked the rooms, it would be a "sleepless night."

Compared to Demmi and Derek’s tension, Lei Tong appeared much calmer.

Not surprising given the past missions he executed, no matter the difficulty or peril, were minor compared to tonight’s operation, so they were of little concern.

Lei Tong handed over a cup of steaming hot water, understanding the difficulty of climbing floors on such a night, leaving aside the challenge of the floors themselves, the howling north wind alone would be enough to toss someone around.

"How did it go, Commander? Did you get in touch with Old Lin?"

Xu Renjie took the cup from Lei Tong, feeling the warmth spread from the cup’s surface as he steadied himself and nodded assuredly: "Everything went smoothly, we’ve made contact with Old Lin’s side, and they’ll be taking action soon."

Old Xu didn’t mention the vicious battle on the rooftop; he didn’t want these side matters to interfere with the upcoming tasks.

Lei Tong sighed a breath of relief upon hearing the smooth operation and immediately clenched his fists: "Hmph, tonight, I’ll play well with those little punks."

Watching Lei Tong’s murderous expression, Derek felt quite conflicted inside.

On one hand, he was eager for the operation to commence, as it meant he could finally escape the Japanese students’ imprisonment and no longer worry for his girlfriend’s safety.

On the other hand, he feared the operation’s start, harboring doubts about the outcome.

Because if this task failed, then...

His complex emotions left Derek somewhat at a loss, which Old Xu noticed but chose not to comment on.

Because Old Xu understood that talking about it wouldn’t help.

As they say, actions speak louder than words. Explaining more to Demmi and Derek now will be futile, but once they’ve dealt with the Japanese students completely, all problems will be resolved.

Young Derek! Just endure for a little while longer! I’ll get you all out safely.

Resolving internally, Old Xu took a sip of hot water and then asked, "Since I left, have there been any movements from those Japanese brats?"

"No, each of them is sleeping like dead pigs. Even if we stride over to put knives on their necks, they might not react."

"Good! That’s exactly the effect we want!" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you’re welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
