Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 965: Chapter 950:

The preparations before the big battle are always the most intense, and every member of the Survivor Team is wound up to the limit.

All tasks are proceeding in an orderly manner, with Li Zhong, Wang Zhongyu, and Luo Baocun working together to modify the van.

Although it’s called modification, there isn’t much to it—just connecting various speakers and sound systems, and installing a remote control board designed by Li Zhong through the vehicle’s central control.

As for Hu Xiaodong’s team on the other side, the workload is relatively much larger.

Luckily, the Factory already has sound amplification equipment, so Li Guo only needs to conduct necessary circuit checks and install essential line boards.

Once the Factory’s setup was complete, Hu Xiaodong quickly drove to personally check the path required for guiding the operation.

With that done, he gathered with Guan Zheng and others.

After being apart for three days, there was naturally some friendly conversation between the two groups.

But this did not include Wang Qiang, who after greeting them once, remained silent.

This undoubtedly worried Wu Chao and Wen Quanxin.

As brothers and partners along the way, they were used to Wang Qiang’s playful and outspoken personality.

Yet now, his sudden somber silence truly concerned them.

It seems the saying about femme fatales is spot on, they wondered if Yang Xue was still alive. Hopefully, she was already dead, as that would be punishment for the hurt she caused Wang Qiang.

Wen Quanxin silently cursed, while Lin and Hu’s conversation had already started.

"How are the preparations going?"

"The Kiln Factory is settled. As for the vehicles, Xiao Li and Xiao Wen are there, so it shouldn’t be a problem. Oh, and on the way here, I checked the road conditions; it’s clear with nothing blocking the way. The roadside weeds are also suitable for concealing the team. The only issue remaining is what to do about the first wave of zombie luring."

Undoubtedly, luring zombies is the key to the success of the entire operation, and doing this involves parking strategy.

The vehicle must pass through the street where campus vending occurs before reaching the campus.

But according to Hu Xiaodong’s recent observations, the zombies gathered just on that vending street are quite unusual.

If someone tried to force their way through with a vehicle, aside from whether they’d be able to penetrate, even if they did, the driver escaping in time would be nearly impossible.

"Couldn’t find any heavy vehicles?"

"No!" Hu Xiaodong had already discussed this with Wang Zhongyu, but the result was disappointing: "Xiao Wang and others went out all morning and only found a 20-foot container truck, its contents emptied. We plan to use it as a blockade at the Kiln Factory."

Nodding thoughtfully, Guan Zheng understood it was too late to look for vehicles now.

After all, Xu Renjie had made it clear that their supplies would last at most two days, leaving only tomorrow.

So, regardless, the rescue mission must start tomorrow.

Guan Zheng surveyed the campus surroundings again through binoculars; he’d done so countless times. As he looked, he said, "Maybe we don’t need to drive the vehicle in. After all, we’re using sound to attract zombies, as long as we make enough noise, we can lure the zombies out."

"Hiss~" Hu Xiaodong took a breath, mind whirling: "Right, look at my brain, parking the vehicle at the street entrance saves time waiting for them to come out."

"However, this requires Xiao Li and the others to ensure the audio setup is loud enough, or else..."

"Hehe, don’t worry, Guan, I’ve checked. Just what Xiao Wang brought back, there are at least ten units. Xiao Li said he’d connect the speakers in parallel and add amplifiers. We can control everything remotely from outside."

"Good! Very good!" Guan Zheng was truly grateful he enlisted Li Zhong and Li Guo, the brothers.

Without them, the current situation would have been much harder to manage.

It proves that goodness is not without reward, despite many emphasizing ruthless survival pre-apocalypse.

But most people don’t consider that some things aren’t achievable merely through desire, even being ruthless requires resources.

It’s not achieved by shouting behind a screen; it doesn’t showcase ability.

Those boasting decisive action might never have killed a chicken. Their only strength lies in having a voice.

But even their voices, merely, express unfulfilled grievances behind the screen.

The true strong are committed to sacrifice, though not foolishly risking life without reason.

For Guan and their Survivor Team, they possess the ability to make sacrificial choices because they have the resources to choose.

Li Zhong and Li Guo, the brothers, are undoubtedly one of the most crucial choices at their critical time.

With the first vehicle’s parking spot decided, the choice of guiding vehicle was brought up.

On this point, everyone agreed, and the escort vehicle was unanimously selected.

Guiding a thousand zombies requires top-notch vehicle protection.

And within the Survivor Team, the escort vehicle is undoubtedly the best-protected option.

Their belief is that with this leading, any unexpected event will still ensure internal member safety.

So...

"Here’s the plan, Guan, you and your team take the Jianghuai, we’ll use the escort vehicle, then ask Zhongyu to handle checks and add some evacuation supplies."

Hu Xiaodong’s suggestion was highly constructive.

Checking the vehicle ensures the escort vehicle is fail-safe during the operation.

Additional supplies safeguard occupants from unexpected incidents with survival gear.

Hu Xiaodong’s proposal was unanimously accepted.

Thus, the relevant action discussions concluded.

"Old Zhao... how’s he emotionally now?" After official matters, Guan took the chance during preparations to pull Tang Xiaoquan aside.

Tang Xiaoquan shakes his head helplessly: "Not very well. But Uncle Zhao is unaware of the school’s situation. We’ve fabricated a pretense to trick him; fearing he’d be unable to handle the truth."

Nodding, Guan solemnly pats the young man’s shoulder: "You did right; honesty at this stage may not be beneficial. No matter what, once tomorrow’s mission goes smoothly, old Zhao will probably forgive us."

Concluding the conversation, Guan turned his gaze towards the distant campus, eyes shimmering with meaningful insight.

The following day was the time for the major zombie-luring operation, the Survivor Team scrambled all day, unable to foresee potential complications.

But to them, this mission must be accomplished without fail.

Otherwise, they would lose more than just Zhao Lina alone. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
