Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 318: An Unexpected Power Seizure (Part 1)


As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. The soldiers looked at each other, with surprise in their eyes.

"Hey! Dai Sha, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean you've taken over the base?"

"Hurry up and open the door!"

"Luo Yi! Luo Yi! What are you doing!"

The sudden change caused some confusion among the soldiers as they shouted at the top of the wall.

The soldiers' intense actions also caught the attention of the other people in the convoy, and almost all the participants gathered at the front door of the gymnasium.

Zhao Yunhai frowned at everything in front of him, and suddenly felt a firm pat on the shoulder. When he turned back, he saw it was his teammates Tang Xiaoquan, Wen Quanxin, and Wu Chao.

After briefly explaining what had just happened to the three who arrived later, they unsurprisingly showed expressions of astonishment.

"Damn! No way! He's taken over the base?" Wu Chao was clearly somewhat incredulous.

Wen Quanxin's following words further stirred the crowd's anxiety: "If that's the case, aren't Old Lin and the others still inside..."

"Aren't they what?" Wen Quanxin didn't finish his sentence, but even a fool would know that our side, having had conflicts with Scarface, would surely face retaliation.

Tang Xiaoquan remained silent, his mind in chaos. He took deep breaths, trying to calm his emotions.

Don't panic! Don't panic! I have to stay calm! I must stay calm! I still need to personally return the Jade Pendant to Wei Yang!

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaoquan's eyes turned sharp, and his heaving chest gradually steadied.

There was another person on the field who, like Tang Xiaoquan, hadn't uttered a word since the sudden change began.

And who was this person? That's right, it was the commander of this mission, the former actual controller of Yuhuan Gymnasium, Xu Renjie.

There was no doubt that Xu Renjie was the most anxious person among everyone outside the gymnasium. He believed that since Dai Sha dared to openly say those words, he must have something to rely on.

If his judgment was correct, during the time they left the base to go on a mission, there must have been a mutiny at the base.

But one thing he couldn't understand was that he had clearly left three fully armed soldiers behind, and he had absolute confidence in their loyalty and character. He didn't believe these brothers who had been through life and death with him would betray the army, the people, and disgrace the soldiers of Huaxia.

So it was highly likely that they were tricked by Dai Sha. Although it was unclear what cunning plan the latter had used to disarm and capture the brothers, it was expected that the three soldiers were probably in grave danger by now.

The soldiers outside the gymnasium were still shouting angrily. The previous joy from the grain collection mission had been wiped out by the "farce" caused by Scarface.

Unfortunately, in the face of the soldiers' questioning and shouting, Scarface and his group on the rooftop acted as if they hadn't heard anything, remaining silent as if the events below had nothing to do with them.

Xu Renjie took a deep breath, then stepped forward, patting a soldier on the shoulder and quietly instructing, "Stop shouting, go over there and rest for a bit."

"But… Captain, this..."

"I'll talk to them!" Xu Renjie raised his hand to interrupt the soldier's words, cleared his throat, and calmly said, "Dai Sha! Come out! I know you're up there, tell me, what do you want?"

After a brief silence, Scarface, who had been waiting for Xu Renjie to speak, couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile.

He flicked the cigarette in his hand, then quickly walked to the wall, replying in a tone full of fake cheer, "Oh my, who has such a commanding voice? Turns out it's Captain Xu! Hehehe, thank you for the hard work today moving the grain, the road must have been very..."

"Hmph!" A cold snort interrupted, showing that Xu Renjie had no interest in listening to Scarface's nonsense: "Alright! Captain Dai! There's no need for all these formalities between us, just say, what exactly do you want?"

"Oh~" Pretending to be troubled, Dai Sha sighed and shook his head, "How to say this... Old Xu, you know I'm not a cultured person, didn't read much, so how could I have any ideas! It's just that the brothers below think I'm more suited to manage this base, think I can bring a future to it, so... well, I'm left with no choice, pushed into a position, if I didn't agree with the brothers, who knows what extreme things they might do."

"Damn" Hearing this, Wang Qiang was so angry that his teeth ached. After all, he considered himself thick-skinned, but who would have thought that bastard atop the gym was even more shameless, almost beyond belief.

The soldiers reacted directly by pulling the gun bolts, aiming at the top of the gym.

Fortunately, the ammunition in the guns had been exhausted in the previous breakthrough, otherwise, with a volley from the Type 95, Scarface on the roof would have been riddled with holes.

Dai Sha never expected that his nonsense would provoke such a strong reaction from the soldiers below. The moment he saw the soldiers raise their guns, he instinctively ducked under the stands.

"What are you doing! All of you put your guns down!" Pressing down one soldier's muzzle, Xu Renjie shouted sternly.

"Captain! That guy is too..."

"I said, put your guns down! What!! Are you not even listening to me as your captain now?" Xu Renjie glared at the soldiers, his piercing gaze leaving no room for doubt.

"Ah~" Military orders are as heavy as mountains. Even though the soldiers were unwilling, their military discipline made them obey and put away their guns.

After a few seconds of waiting, seeing that the expected scene of flying bullets didn't happen, Dai Sha mustered up the courage to show his head.

Perhaps feeling his earlier "cowardice" was a bit humiliating, he couldn't help but angrily shout at his subordinates, "Damn it, you bunch of cowards! Hiding at every little disturbance! Why the hell are you scared! Do you think you're holding a Fire Stick?"

His subordinates dared not breathe, but in their hearts, they were already cursing wildly: "Damn you, your mouth is like an ass, only knowing how to scold others, when just now you hid faster than a turtle!!"

With the 81-style rifles in their hands, Dai Sha felt a bit more confident, but his speech was noticeably less confident than before: "I say… well, Xu… Xu Renjie, you, you better manage your subordinates… otherwise… if something happens… humph, bring him up here!"

With those words, Dai Sha turned slightly sideways and gestured, and soon a figure came into the view of everyone at the bottom of the gym...
