Rotting Land: Survive-Chapter 334 - 333: Shameless Forced Marriage (Part 2)
Tears trickled down from the corners of her eyes, her frail appearance eliciting pity.
However, in the eyes of the short man, her miserable state was nothing to him; only the final words "I will" mattered to him.
"Alright! Everyone stop! If you had agreed earlier, would your grandfather have suffered like this?"
With a forceful tug, the short man lifted the girl up and without a word, shoved her forward.
The girl tried to look back at her grandfather one more time, but the short man’s brute force gave her no chance, and she could only stagger forward like a lost soul toward the dark tunnel.
"What the hell are you all looking at! You idiots! Keep staring and I’ll ruin your eyes!"
The old man lay alone on the cold grass, his shriveled body twitching slightly. Intimidated by the short man’s tyranny, no one dared to reach out to help, so they all hid in their tents, afraid of causing trouble for themselves.
Witnessing the entire process, Wei Dazhuang stood rooted to the spot like a clay figure, his fists clenched tightly.
Although he had submitted to Scar for a better life, it didn’t mean he accepted the latter’s violence against the weak.
But at this moment, there was nothing he could do, because, as Zhao Huilong had reminded him earlier, if he acted against the thug now, he would really be pushing himself into a pit of fire.
The night gradually deepened, the autumn wind slowly sweeping across the grass, making this destined to be a cold night!
The next day, Wei Dazhuang led Zhao Huilong toward the player tunnel.
His purpose this time was twofold: first, to recommend Zhao Huilong to join, not because he favored him, but inspired by Scar’s methods, he felt it was good to have a "gun" under him.
Especially Zhao Huilong, with his sly face and shaky stature, he was indeed perfect material for a "gun."
At least Wei Dazhuang had thought it through; if he encountered danger, Zhao Huilong was a "gun" he could sacrifice at any time.
The second point, Wei Dazhuang wanted to find something to do, especially after witnessing the tragedy last night, he felt that to change things, he needed an opportunity to speak in front of Scar.
To gain such an opportunity, working for others and attracting their attention was undoubtedly the most reliable way at this moment. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Considering these two points, Wei Dazhuang finally decided to "take the initiative."
"Hey! You two, stop right there! What are you doing? Do you think this is a place you can just wander into? Get the hell out!"
Two young men at the entrance stopped Wei Dazhuang, one of them arrogantly shouting insults as soon as he spoke.
Wei Dazhuang couldn’t stand such humiliation, and immediately glared with his tiger-like eyes, causing the arrogant youth to wobble a bit.
"What, what the hell do you want! I, I’m telling you, go, go away! Do you hear me!"
Wei Dazhuang detested these "bullies to the weak, cowards to the strong" and didn’t even bother to look at the other straight.
But just as he was about to force his way through the gate, Zhao Huilong, who had been following behind like a puppy, suddenly jumped in front of him.
Zhao Huilong, after years of struggling at the bottom, mastered the art of observing and ingratiation.
As soon as he realized a conflict was about to occur, he rushed forward immediately.
He quietly pulled Wei Dazhuang back a few steps, whispered a few words in his ear after both retreated from the punch’s range.
Without waiting for a reaction, Zhao Huilong quickly returned to the guard, as if by magic, pulled out a pack of cigarettes.
"Ah haha, brothers, don’t misunderstand, we’re on the same side. Here, have a cigarette." He handed them out and respectfully lit them for the two guards.
Under his blatant "brown-nosing," the two young guards were clearly flattered, and their tensed nerves gradually relaxed.
"Are you on our side? Why do you look unfamiliar?" One guard, exhaling smoke rings, remained somewhat vigilant.
"Oh, it’s like this, brother, the two of us just joined Boss Dai’s command, we were originally from the third squad."
"Ah! So you’re those traitors, hahaha!"
The young man’s laughter was particularly grating, obviously teasing them on purpose.
"Well, you know, a wise bird chooses its branch. We saw Boss Dai as righteous, and with heroes like you under him, we thought of joining and hoped to earn a living following Boss Dai, hehe."
Unaffected by the young man’s mocking, Zhao Huilong continued his flattery.
As expected, upon hearing the words "heroes like you," the two guards immediately raised their heads, and their appreciation for Zhao Huilong increased significantly: "So, what are you here for?"
Seeing that they finally got to the point, Zhao Huilong dared not slack off, rubbing his hands and smiling: "We’re not here for anything else today, just to discuss with Boss Dai if we could get some work, like you two guarding such an important place, must mean you are highly valued by Boss Dai!"
"Haha," the two guards exchanged a look and smiled, though this was also their first shift here and they weren’t really associated with "importance" at all.
But people always like to hear compliments, so...
"Of course! This place isn’t something to brag about, only the most trusted can stand here! So, what do you want to do?" Smoking the cigarette like it was the best, it was obvious even to a fool that if they were truly favored, would they be gleefully smoking budget cigarettes?
"We..."
"If we do it, let’s do something big, what’s the point of standing at the door? What about those soldiers? There’s a future in guarding them!" Before Zhao Huilong could speak, Wei Dazhuang strutted up.
Though not tall, his imposing aura was quite overwhelming, especially with those terrifying eyes.
"You, you want to guard the soldiers? Hahaha!" The guards laughed foolishly, though they unconsciously took two steps back.
To this, Wei Dazhuang glanced disdainfully, not bothering to argue: "So, why can’t I guard those soldiers?"
Seeing the tension rise again, Zhao Huilong quickly interjected...
