Rotting Land: Survive-Chapter 341 - 340: First Transport Encounter (7)

The next day, the sky had already brightened, and a series of footsteps echoed through the quiet player tunnel.

Dai Sha was sleeping soundly, but the urgent knocking that followed quickly dragged him from his dreams.

"Goddammit, who the hell is it! Trying to get killed so early in the morning!" Annoyed beyond belief, he threw off the blanket, glanced at the clock hanging on the wall with a raised brow to see the time was barely 9 o’clock, which only served to fuel his wrath even further:

"Damn it! It’s only fucking 9 o’clock! Let’s see what bullshit is so urgent!"

Slipping into his slippers, Dai Sha lunged to the door, yanked it open, and without bothering to see who it was, yelled, "You better have a damn good reason, or prepare to be thrown out to feed the zombies!"

"Boss, it’s me, Biaozi!"

Sang Biao had clearly overestimated his influence, thinking mentioning his name would save him.

But he completely ignored Dai Sha’s anger at being disturbed. If anything, saying his name only made Dai Sha’s eyes turn red with rage.

"Damn it, I don’t care who you are! Look at what time it is, it’s only 9 o’clock! Did you forget what I told you? Don’t disturb me unless it’s important before ten in the morning!"

Sentence after sentence, Dai Sha’s voice grew louder and louder, even the guards outside could feel his overwhelming anger.

Sang Biao’s forehead began to sweat, but he forced himself to suppress his fear and stammered out an explanation: "No, Boss, I know it’s not a good time, but Xu, Xu Renjie is here."

"Oh?" Dai Sha’s eyes widened as he abruptly changed his aggressive stance, as if suddenly realizing something, and slowly confirmed: "Are you saying... Xu is already here?"

"Yes, Boss, they just arrived. They’re waiting at the gate. I came to inform you immediately." Feeling slightly wronged, Sang Biao frowned bitterly.

With that, Dai Sha’s anger finally subsided, but out of pride, he did not apologize to Sang Biao. Instead, he glared at him and then scolded, "Why didn’t you say so earlier? Wasting so much time, how do you expect to accomplish anything like this in the future?"

"Yes, yes, Boss, you’re right. I’ll pay more attention in the future."

"Enough! Stop wasting time, let’s go and see what’s up!"

With a wave of his hand, Dai Sha led Sang Biao out of the tunnel.

Today’s sunlight was slightly blinding, the gateway at the tunnel’s end resembled a horizon dividing light from shadow, dark inside and bright outside.

Looking at the blazing sun overhead, Dai Sha reluctantly stepped out.

It wasn’t just him; even Sang Biao, who had been outside for a while, still wasn’t used to this "autumn tiger’s" backlash.

The group quickly climbed into the stands, where the waiting entourage promptly fetched tall chairs and opened a modified parasol beside them.

To be honest, Dai Sha didn’t need to come to this handover personally today, but given it was the first time, he thought it wise to oversee it himself for reassurance.

Additionally, considering his special "arrangement" from the day before, he was looking forward to witnessing a "brotherly conflict" drama unfold.

"Biaozi, is Wei Dazhuang in position?"

"He’s waiting downstairs, just waiting for your order!"

"Is the shooting position ready?"

"It’s ready. I’ve set up two fire positions, cross-covering the gate. If Xu Renjie dares to make a move, I guarantee he won’t return!"

"Very good! Bring Luo Yi up here!"

"Yes!"

Sang Biao whispered a few words to a confidant on the side, who immediately turned and rushed downstairs.

Meanwhile, as Dai and Sang were busy giving instructions, the long-waiting Xu Renjie finally spoke from the bottom of the arena: "I say, Sang Biao, what is the meaning of this! Where are my people? You said you’d bring them up, so why haven’t they shown up yet?"

Upon hearing this, Sang Biao, who had just finished giving orders, furrowed his brow and was about to retort, but was stopped by Dai Sha, who was sitting on a chair.

"I’ll handle this!" With a simple command, Dai Sha moved to the top of the arena, glanced down at the shadows below, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Captain Xu, why do you ask! Do you think I’d lie after making a promise?"

"Biaozi, why hasn’t Luo Yi arrived? Can’t you see Captain Xu is getting impatient?" Feigning ignorance, he tossed the question back to Sang Biao, who was initially startled, but quickly replied:

"Boss, people have been sent to fetch him. He’ll be here soon!"

"There you go, Captain Xu, you’ve heard it too. He’s on his way; just hold on a little longer. Also, how’s the task I assigned you coming along?"

Xu Renjie was about to respond when a low voice was heard at his ear: "Captain Xu, let me handle these questions. Avoid direct confrontation with Scar as much as possible to prevent any conflicts."

Nodding subtly, Xu Renjie concurred with the young man’s suggestion without objection.

After all, compared to negotiating himself, Tang Xiaoquan seemed more suited for the task.

Because if Tang Xiaoquan clashed with the other party, he could mediate as an onlooker.

On the contrary, if he himself caused a conflict, it would be a much bigger issue.

So, given the current situation, letting Tang Xiaoquan serve as a "buffer" in the exchange was crucial.

With Xu Renjie’s approval, Tang Xiaoquan calmly stepped forward, wearing an innocent smile, and replied upward: "Hehe, Captain Dai, we’re carrying out the task as promised. Today is the third day; we’re not late. The supplies are all on the vehicle. If you’re worried, feel free to have someone check." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Dai Sha glanced at the municipal vehicle and then the pile of supplies at the rear, nodding with a sinister grin, but soon realized a problem. He immediately asked, "How come there’s only five of you? Heh, don’t tell me the rest heroically perished? If so... Tsk tsk, I really ought to offer a moment of silence for you, Captain Xu."

Detecting Dai Sha’s sarcasm, Tang Xiaoquan instantly retorted with composure, "Captain Dai, you needn’t worry. All our team members are still here. While gathering these supplies wasn’t easy, overall, we managed. As for why only five of us are here, it’s mainly to avoid causing you undue pressure. Moreover, the municipal vehicle has limited transport capacity, and fuel is extremely precious, so five was our optimal choice."

Not a single swear word in his response, and even the tone remained steady, yet this speech quietly conveyed a message:

To deal with you, Dai Sha, five of us is more than enough!!
