Rotting Land: Survive-Chapter 342 - 341: First Transport Encounter (8)

PS. Thanks to the Divine Bull Race chief for the 60 bucks reward last night, much appreciated!

"Damn, big brother, these guys..."

Raising his hand, Dai Sha interrupted Sang Biao’s words.

How could he not know the implication behind the young man’s words? But for the sake of appearances, he forced himself to suppress his anger.

After all, he was here to watch the show today, so...

With a crooked smile, Dai Sha playfully instructed, "It’s about time for our brother Wei to make a debut. Biaozi, make arrangements to get that guy out to check the goods. Keep an eye on him, and if they make any suspicious moves, then..."

"Understood! Big brother! I’ll get on it right away!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Sang Biao, already pent up with anger, immediately ran off to make arrangements as soon as Scar gave the order.

Shortly after, there was a creak, and the long-closed south gate of the gymnasium finally opened again!

As the doors gradually unfolded, Wei Dazhuang’s robust figure came into view.

Seeing who it was, Tang Xiaoquan was momentarily taken aback, not surprisingly.

The scene was quite dramatic. After all, just three days ago, Tang Xiaoquan and Wei Dazhuang were still comrades in the same trench, sharing life and death as brothers.

But now, fate had its way, and as they met again, they had become opponents from opposing factions.

Looking at his once-familiar but now somewhat unfamiliar brother, Tang Xiaoquan hesitated a bit.

However, he quickly pulled himself together, stepped forward politely, and greeted, "Brother Dazhuang, long time no see! How’s it going? Did you get the life you wanted in there?"

Wei Dazhuang’s brows furrowed slightly—he knew the young man was teasing him, but he didn’t get angry. Instead, he replied with unusual calm, "Whether I want it or not doesn’t matter, as long as it’s better than yours."

"Enough! What’s with all the talk? Where’s the stuff? I need to verify it!"

The voice sounded all too familiar. As Tang Xiaoquan shifted his gaze again, he noticed there was another person behind Dazhuang:

"Zhao... Huilong!?" Startled, Tang Xiaoquan had anticipated everything but hadn’t expected this person to appear before him, and couldn’t help but blurt out, "Why is it you? Don’t tell me you also..."

In contrast to his past mild and obliging demeanor, Zhao Huilong, relying on the massive power behind him, straightened his back confidently. He didn’t even consider the life-saving debt he owed Tang Xiaoquan as he angrily barked, "What the hell does it matter to you what I’m doing? Don’t try to get chummy with me, damn it! Now tell me, where’s the stuff?"

Fortunately, Wang Qiang didn’t come today. Otherwise, with Zhao Huilong’s words just now, a shouting match would have been inevitable.

Tang Xiaoquan’s lips curled slightly. He had worked in the workplace for a while, short though it was, and he had indeed met many people like Zhao Huilong, who benefitted from you but then turned against you.

Recalling how deferential the other person was when they lived together, and then seeing his current contemptuous smugness after gaining power.

Tang Xiaoquan truly sighed from the heart, it’s easy to paint the skin but hard to paint the bones; you may know the face but not the heart, human nature is unfathomable!

If only he had known this guy was like this, he would never have saved him back then!

Too late to regret! Tang Xiaoquan self-deprecatingly shook his head.

"The stuff is there, see it? On the city management vehicle!"

Upon hearing the reply, Zhao Huilong rubbed his nose and started heading toward the vehicle. But before he could take two steps, Xu Renjie silently blocked his way.

"You..."

The moment he uttered the word "you," Zhao Huilong, who was previously furious and questioning, suddenly recoiled like a loaded gun at the sight of Xu Renjie’s sharp, wide-open eyes. He took several steps back: "You, what are you doing?"

Being a soldier, Xu Renjie most despised cowards who bullied the weak by leveraging strong connections, so he didn’t even look Zhao Huilong in the eye, simply tilting his head to consult, "Captain Dai, the goods are right there. I have no objection to your checking them, but first I must confirm my soldiers’ condition!"

Scar had been watching everything below and immediately gave a signal, ordering, "Bring the person over!"

Once Luo Yi was brought to the front, Dai Sha grabbed him and lightly patted his head, smirking coldly, "Xiao Luo, your Company Commander wants to see you. Remember to be smart with your words, otherwise, your two brothers... hmm hmm!"

Teeth clenched tightly together, Luo Yi had never suffered such humiliation. As a soldier of the Sharp Blade Company, they were instilled from day one with the belief that they would rather die on the battlefield than become prisoners of the enemy.

But now, he not only became a prisoner but also had to act against his conscience under their coercion, which made Luo Yi extremely frustrated.

However, Scar held their weaknesses too tightly, knowing his men would do anything for their brothers.

So...

"Company Commander!"

"Xiao, Xiao Luo! Are you alright?"

"I, I’m fine!"

"What about the others? Why are you the only one here?"

"Don’t worry, Company Commander, the others are also doing well! Don’t concern yourself with us!"

Suddenly pulling Luo Yi behind him, Dai Sha didn’t give him another opportunity to speak, then turned to Xu Renjie with mockery, "Alright! Captain Xu, seeing you all so sentimental, I can’t stand it. Let’s call it done for the meeting. Well ~ you heard what Xiao Luo said just now, right? I’ve been treating him as my brother the whole time. Now you can verify your goods, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Dazhuang stepped forward. Unlike Zhao Huilong, he faced Xu Renjie without any fear: "Move!!"

Just two simple words, but the authority they carried was undeniable.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly heated up, and a fierce confrontation was about to commence.

Scar, seeing the scene unfold below, was instantly rid of his earlier depression.

He had waited so long just to see a fierce fight between both sides of the gymnasium.

However, his joy didn’t last even 10 seconds before the sudden interruption by the young man turned it into nothing.

"Haha, Brother Dazhuang, we’re at least acquaintances; no need to get so tense! Captain Xu, we need to honor our words. Since you’ve seen the soldier, let Brother Dazhuang check the goods!"

As he spoke, Tang Xiaoquan pulled Xu Renjie’s figure aside.

And as soon as Xu Renjie stepped aside, Zhao Huilong, who had been humiliated earlier, immediately regained his composure like a cockroach after taking drugs.

"Damn it, you better stay put and don’t try any funny business, or you can only blame yourself for getting shot later on!"

One in front and one behind, Wei Dazhuang and Zhao Huilong arrived at the city management vehicle.

After a brief inspection of the supplies on the vehicle, Wei Dazhuang’s eyebrows rose sharply...
