Rotting Land: Survive-Chapter 383 - 381: Shuren Architecture College (Part 1)

Scar tapped his fingers lightly on the table, clearly pondering Wei Dazhuang’s words just now.

He had never trusted Wei Dazhuang from the start, but since his return without fleeing, Scar was slightly swayed.

Oh well, if this guy truly has a second agenda, he can’t stir up too much trouble alone. I might as well keep him around; he’s fodder anyway, and I can toss him out whenever I like.

Dai Sha, having made up his mind, shed his previous seriousness, lifting his head slowly. After a couple of loud laughs, he calmly said, "Good! Let me be honest with you, Wei Dazhuang. The reason I sent you to clean up the corpses this time was to test your loyalty! You didn’t disappoint me! Not only did you complete the task well, but you also returned as promised! Now tell me, what reward do you want? How about I get you a woman to relax? Haha!"

The lewd laughter made Wei Dazhuang quite uncomfortable, and almost instantly, he thought of Xiao Mei, who had tragically died jumping off a building.

Immediately, he took a deep breath, repressing the urge to charge forward and beat Dai Sha up: "Hehe, thanks, boss! I don’t need a woman, I can handle that myself! If you really want to reward me, how about giving me a few steamed buns to enjoy? Don’t laugh at me, but after moving the corpses today, I’m actually a little hungry!"

Dai Sha was slightly taken aback, not expecting the man before him to make such a request, but he soon laughed heartily. "Look at you, making a fuss over a few steamed buns! Listen, as long as you follow me properly, you’ll have plenty of rice and buns in the future! Alright, I’m done here. Go quarantine yourself! I’ll arrange your food!"

Satisfied with his wish granted, Wei Dazhuang walked out of the lounge with a smile, but once he was hidden in the corridor’s darkness, that smile vanished without a trace, replaced instead by a solemn demeanor.

The Jeep Wrangler raced along before smoothly entering the target location, Shuren Architecture College.

Following the predetermined route, Wang Zhongyu maneuvered through the campus with twists and turns, skillfully avoiding the wandering zombies along the way with his deft driving skills.

As the car drove in deeper, Yue Guishan, seated in the backseat, became increasingly solemn:

"Hey! Hey! Hey, Old Zhao! This isn’t right! According to what you said before, this location should be the archive building, but..."

Yue Guishan’s query was something Zhao Yunhai had also noticed.

Though he anticipated the real situation could deviate due to the passage of time, when the discrepancy actually occurred now, he was a bit lost.

"Whew~" Exhaling lightly, Zhao Yunhai calmed himself, knowing his heavy responsibility.

He understood that while others could panic at this time, he absolutely could not, being the Captain.

His previous life-and-death experiences were now a significant help, allowing Zhao Yunhai to quickly regain stability from confusion, then instructed Wang Zhongyu at the driver’s seat: "Little Wang, follow the direction of my finger as we drive. Generally, archives are stored in the department office. As long as we find the teaching building, it should be alright!"

Wang Zhongyu nodded lightly, then decisively made a left turn, starting to drive slowly along Zhao Yunhai’s instruction.

After aimlessly wandering for about 4-5 minutes, just as Zhao Yunhai was about to give up, the golden-marked teaching building finally appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The rain continued to pour down heavily, and Old Zhao was the first to jump out of the car, finding it difficult to observe the surroundings in the campus due to the heavy rain.

However, analyzing their journey, the number of zombies on campus wasn’t many, at least far better than the "zombies everywhere" scenario Zhao Yunhai had envisioned before coming.

Then again, it’s not surprising, given the apocalypse outbreak happened during the sweltering July. Anyone who has been in school would know this coincides with the holiday period for colleges.

So, except for a few students unable to return home due to exams or other reasons, most students had left the campus.

Yue Guishan and Bi Dahu also jumped out of the car, each wielding their weapons. This marked their second mission outside.

However, the same experience brought them completely different feelings.

Last time, hoping to succeed but dying before even starting, the mission ended abruptly due to the interference from Sang Biao’s group.

Yet this time, with reliable teammates, a complete plan, and a burning flame of revenge in their hearts, each of them was confident and spirited.

Once everyone was ready, Zhao Huilong struggled to step out of the car.

Upon seeing his movement, Old Zhao immediately asked, "Zhao Huilong, what are you doing getting out?"

"More people, more strength! I’m planning to go up with you!"

"No way!" Zhao Yunhai immediately rejected Zhao Huilong’s proposal without any room for negotiation, "You better not cause me trouble with your unsteady legs. What can you do? Stay put down here quietly!"

"But..."

"No buts!" Old Zhao seemed extremely impatient, completely lacking his usual graceful demeanor.

The root cause was Old Zhao’s unresolved issues with Zhao Huilong’s past actions, leading him to express "rashness and indifference" involuntarily.

Ending his words, Old Zhao ignored Zhao Huilong’s last attempts to plead, explaining a few precautions to Wang Zhongyu before leading Yue Guishan and Bi Dahu together into the teaching building.

The rain poured, splattering onto the ground with a "pitter-patter" sound, and Wang Zhongyu looked at Zhao Huilong, who still stood in the rain, staring at the teaching building, not willing to leave for a long time, feeling helpless as he sighed.

His understanding of Zhao Huilong was limited to several "conflicts" in front of the gym. In his heart, he didn’t like Zhao Huilong at all.

But hearing of his "enduring humiliation" path during the journey just now, his opinion notably changed.

"Alright! Brother, I believe Old Zhao understands your intentions too. He asked you to stay downstairs for your safety! Don’t stand there, hurry back to the car. Otherwise, if a zombie attacks, it won’t be good!"

Expecting his words would persuade Zhao Huilong, surprisingly, instead of returning to the car, Zhao Huilong unexpectedly rushed into the building, leaving behind only the solitary words "I’m not assured, I’ll go take a look" echoing in the cold rain...
