Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 321: An Unexpected Power Seizure (Part 4)


Dai Sha's mocking laughter echoed in the arena, and undoubtedly, his words and actions were extremely sarcastic.

Everyone knew the grudge between the third squad and him, Scarface, and they all knew the fierce rivalry between the two teams.

However, each reign has its ministers, and right now, Dai Sha has clearly become greater than before, surpassing the third squad in manpower, wealth, and resources.

That's why Dai Sha thought of using his advantage to entice the others into surrendering by offering an olive branch.

Unfortunately, not everyone is inclined to curry favor. At least Wang Qiang, with his straightforward nature, was not. Upon hearing Dai Sha's generous offer, he immediately cursed, "To hell with that! I'd rather thirst and starve outside than associate with scum like you!"

"Well said! Qiangzi! People have pride, but they must also have backbone! Dai, don't think controlling a mountain gives you the right to do whatever you want! Frankly, no one in the third squad will follow you; if we follow, it'll be Xu and his team. Everyone says..."

Old Zhao's words were powerful and spirited, his comrades nodding frequently in agreement. But before he could finish his words, a robust figure flashed before his eyes.

"Boss Dai, if you can truly let go of the past, I'm willing to join you."

The calm and indifferent voice fell like a resounding bell among the crowd.

Everyone was stunned, and Old Zhao stared wide-eyed at the dark-skinned man in front of him. He could never have imagined that the farmer, who hated evil and spoke little, would choose to "betray friends for glory" and "turncoat" at this moment.

Looks can be deceiving, and the sea cannot be measured! Painting a tiger, it's easy to get the likeness, but hard to capture its spirit. Knowing people, you know their face but not their heart!

Tang Xiaoquan silently watched the scene; due to Dazhuang's abrupt action, he still hadn't come to his senses.

Among everyone affected, the Sharp Blade Company commander Xu Renjie suffered the most. In one day, he experienced the betrayal of two squads, lost both the base and command, and was disarmed by the enemy.

Without question, this was the most disgraceful and darkest day in his military history! He even began to doubt his ability to lead!

Unlike others who were stunned and shocked, Wang Qiang chose the most direct and decisive way; he rushed to Wei Dazhuang's front and roared his opinion: "Brother Dazhuang! Are you crazy!? Do you know what you're doing? Look at those idiots upstairs! They're scum! Have you forgotten what they did to Wei Yang!? And you still want to mix with them!? I think you got kicked in the head by a donkey!"

Wang Qiang's voice got louder and his anger more intense, but it wasn't surprising, given he felt considerable affection for Dazhuang.

As the saying goes, conflict can lead to understanding; from their initial dispute outside Zhongkun Textile, to appreciation after understanding the whole story, to enduring hardships together, Wang Qiang treated Wei Dazhuang like an elder brother.

He was always moved by Dazhuang's deep feelings, but who would have thought he'd now choose to "curry favor" and "turncoat."

The drastic change ignited a fury within Wang Qiang that couldn't be calmed.

He couldn't believe Dazhuang would take such actions. He thought the man must have lost his mind and planned to scold him back to his senses.

But...

"Qiangzi, calm down, my head's fine! Think about it clearly, this is the end times; haven't we faced enough danger? Haven't enough people died? I don't care what you think, but I want to tell you, water flows downward, people go upward! You might think Dai Sha isn't honorable, but my view is quite the opposite. In the apocalypse, you have to be ruthless; Xu's rigid rules and democracy won't work! Moreover, look at these high walls, the supplies, and weapons. Why should we follow Xu Renjie just for so-called values? I say that's donkey-brained!"

"Bullshit!"

"Swipe!" The swift punch, carrying powerful Qi, struck Wei Dazhuang directly in the face.

Immediately, blood trickled from his nostrils. Wei Dazhuang casually wiped it away and smiled lightly, "For the sake of brotherhood, I won't quarrel with you..."

"To hell with brotherhood! Who's a brother to you anyway!"

"Swipe!" Another punch, this time hitting Dazhuang's chin, followed by a hook punch without letting him steady himself.

"I must have been blind! To know such a traitor like you! I even treated you as an elder brother!"

After three punches, Dazhuang staggered to the wall to steady himself and spat out some bloody saliva, his eyes suddenly cold, "Three punches, for saving my life before, I let you have them! But from now on, if you strike, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Get lost! Don't mention saving you! If I knew you were like this, I'd have let the Zombie Dog bite you to death that day! Spare us from shame now!"

"Also, Wei Dazhuang, with what you did today, your dead wife and tragically deceased daughter, if their spirits knew, they would never forgive you!"

"What did you say!? I thought of past bonds and didn't argue, but you keep pushing it!"

"To hell with who your brother is!"

"Well, then you can die!"

The two figures moved toward each other like bullets, engaging in mere moments.

Wang Qiang didn't hesitate, raising his fist, while Dazhuang stood firm, parried, then tightened his forearm leveraging Wang Qiang's punch gap to strike.

"Swipe!" Wang Qiang flew backward, the 1.8-meter tall man heavily hitting the ground after some air.

Witnessing such a thrilling confrontation, Scarface atop the arena couldn't help but applaud loudly, "Hahaha, good, good indeed, thrilling, incredibly thrilling! In such a dull time, who knew there'd be such an exciting fight! It's sheer delight!"

Hearing the boss's words, his underlings echoed loudly, "Yes, yes, what the boss says is right, really awesome! Hey~ don't stop, keep going, keep going, hahaha!"

Humiliation, deep-seated disgrace, Wang Qiang angrily climbed from the ground, his eyes nearly aflame...
