Rotting Land: Survive-Chapter 369 - 367: Surveillance (Part 1)

Two days later, the scheduled day for supplies delivery arrived again. The Survivor Squad, led by Xu Renjie as usual, while Wang Zhongyu drove the car early to the stadium.

Meanwhile, Wei Dazhuang, accompanied by the tag-along "Zhao Huilong," was also at the stadium, "welcoming the distinguished guests."

Today’s weather was refreshingly pleasant, the oppressive heat of the past few days seemed to have lost some of its strength.

However, the fading sun could not stop the "heated" atmosphere during the meeting of the two groups.

Sure enough, as soon as they met, Zhao Huilong gave the action squad a "show of force" with his domineering pretense.

"Quick, quick, quick! All of you get the hell out of the car! Stop acting like you own the place!"

The words were directed at Wang Zhongyu, who wasn’t bothered, instead greeted the words with a smile and wisely stepped aside.

The inspection went relatively smoothly. Unlike the last time, this time Wei Dazhuang, although still not showing any goodwill towards the team members, noticeably increased his frequency and number of words.

Though the inspection was still filled with scolding and insults, he did not make many demands or warnings as he did the last time.

On the contrary, Zhao Huilong was jumping around as if he was on steroids, not knowing any better, one would really think he was the leader there.

"What the hell are you doing? Did you take my instructions last time a joke? These things..."

"Get lost!"

"Ah!"

Without allowing any argument, Wei Dazhuang brushed off the "showing off" Zhao Huilong, as he had long been fed up with this "brat."

Although he didn’t say it outright, he was very clear that if this kid hadn’t played him behind his back, Dai Sha wouldn’t have known so much about their affairs.

Therefore, he had no reason to show any respect to him at the moment. After pushing him aside, Wei Dazhuang got into the vehicle, revved the engine, and sped off.

Watching the city management vehicle disappear into the stadium, Zhao Huilong’s eyes gleamed with a sinister light.

"Damn it, you keep showing off all you want, but wait till I get evidence against you, humph!"

Imagining scenes of tearing Wei Dazhuang to pieces in his mind, a subtle smile curled up on Zhao Huilong’s lips.

Unlike Zhao Huilong’s bloodthirsty excitement, the members of the action squad were mostly solemn at the moment.

Especially Xu Renjie, whose tightly clenched fists were already soaked in sweat unbeknownst to him.

Could the surveillance succeed? Would the equipment be detected? Could they smoothly obtain the information they wanted this time?

Such questions buzzed in his ears like bees, causing Xu Renjie to feel a bit dizzy.

The others also harbored cautious attitudes towards the plan. After all, if this mission failed, the direct consequence could very likely be a violent conflict. Even if Dai Sha didn’t blame them for the "greater good," it was unavoidable that at least one among them would be killed as a warning to others.

Time slowly passed amidst the action squad’s somewhat helpless waiting. Like the last time, the "bandits" at the base slowed down the pace of unloading to tease the survivors, taking almost 40 minutes for a process that only needed about 10 minutes originally.

Having no other choice, Xu Renjie finally led the warriors into street-side shops to avoid the wandering zombies that could appear at any moment.

When the stadium doors opened again, the familiar figure of a city management vehicle appeared in the sleepy eyes of Wang Zhongyu.

Success! Undoubtedly, since the vehicle came out, it indicated that things were indeed as Wang Zhongyu had foreseen, the "sloppy" ones at the base didn’t conduct a thorough inspection of his modified vehicle.

This was fortunate! But more importantly, it was an intellectual triumph; at least, in this battle of wits, the action squad secured the final victory.

Suppressing a surge of joy, Xu Renjie quickly led the warriors onto the vehicle, followed by the roar of the engine, and the city management vehicle left the stadium.

"Damn, that was really thrilling!" With the plan’s success, Wang Zhongyu’s carefree nature resurfaced. He twisted his slightly sore shoulder and teased Tang Xiaoquan beside him, "Hey, Tang, is this your usual self?"

"Huh?" Lost in thought, Tang Xiaoquan glanced at Wang Zhongyu in confusion, not understanding the latter’s question, "What do you mean by my usual self?"

"Hey, don’t get me wrong! I just see you looking gloomy every day, to be honest... we are all the same age here, so if you have any concerns, I’m here to listen, if you don’t mind. Keeping it bottled up is never good!"

As if someone had seen through his thoughts, Tang Xiaoquan scratched his head with a shy smile.

Yes, he indeed had a lot on his mind these days, all for one person, a woman named Wei Yang.

He worried about Wei Yang’s day-to-day life; worried if Scar would seize a chance for revenge; worried if the short man would act rashly again. In short, there were too many worries about Wei Yang, coupled with the efforts for rescue, so it was not surprising that Wang Zhongyu noticed something amiss.

Yet, people are often like this, where you have strengths, there are inevitably weaknesses.

Take Tang Xiaoquan for example, his smartness exceeds that of most of his peers.

Even experienced people like Hu Xiaodong and Zhao Yunhai were awed by the lad’s wisdom and calmness.

But no one is perfect, in contrast to his outstanding intellect, Tang Xiaoquan was pretty naive, even childish, in terms of emotional intelligence.

He clearly liked Wei Yang, which would have led any other young person to start pursuing aggressively.

Yet he purposely kept a relatively subtle relationship with her; he neither spoke words to move her nor did his rare actions seem sufficient.

However, he couldn’t help but increase her position and importance in his heart day by day.

Until now...

"Haha, I’m fine! Maybe I’ve been pondering the base’s matters too much lately, and with unstable sleep at night, so... Anyway, thank you!"

Feigning weariness, Tang Xiaoquen yawned and made up a random excuse to pass off Wang Zhongyu.

To this, Wang Zhongyu did not delve deeper, only shrugged indifferently, then focused all his attention on the road ahead.

The car continued forward, and the success of this mission undoubtedly brought extremely valuable information to the Survivor Squad.

And how will they utilise this valuable information to make further planning?
