Chapter 401: Chapter 399: Great Escape Through the Well Passage (Part 1)

Early the next morning, Wei Dazhuang, who received the latest news, immediately took action.

He first went alone to the restroom and fiddled for a while, then angrily sought out Sang Biao.

Since he had helped Sang Biao out of a jam with Xiao Mei before, Sang Biao’s attitude towards him has completely reversed.

Though they weren’t exactly brothers, he definitely wouldn’t ignore him.

"What’s up, Dazhuang? Why are you in such a sorry state?" Seeing Wei Dazhuang looking furious, Sang Biao raised an eyebrow.

"You have the key to the armory, right? Open the door, I need a rod!"

Wei Dazhuang knew exactly where the key was because he’d seen it clearly during the Xiao Mei incident, hence he directly came to Sang Biao.

His feigned ignorance was all part of concealing his true intentions.

Sure enough, hearing that he wanted weapons, Sang Biao immediately became alert: "What? Who are you fighting now?"

Thanks to previous skirmishes, Wei Dazhuang’s reputation as a "troublemaker" was renowned throughout the base.

Even the little kids knew this uncle had a "bad" temper.

"Fighting my ass!" As usual, keeping his regular style, Wei Dazhuang gave Sang Biao no face at all. After his sharp retort, he continued acting: "I’m just prepping to get some rations and went to the toilet. How was I to know that while unbuckling my belt, my damn hand would slip and drop a ceramic bowl into the hole, blocking it. So..."

"Haha! Hahaha! Hahahaha! You’re truly talented! Even just taking a piss, you make it so remarkable!" Before Wei Dazhuang could finish, Sang Biao burst into laughter.

"Stop laughing! Damn it, open the damn door for me!"

"Oh, come on, just for something this minor, you’re getting all worked up. You know what, go back first, I’ll send someone later to handle it for you!" After saying this, Sang Biao was ready to leave, but Wei Dazhuang, not having achieved his goal, wouldn’t let it end there. He blocked Sang Biao: "Hell no! Do you want me to make more of a fool of myself? If you spread this, how can I face anyone in the base anymore?"

Perhaps understanding that Wei Dazhuang had a point, Sang Biao impatiently stroked his chin: "Fine! Fine! You’re always the one with the most issues. Come on, let’s go get your stuff!"

Entering the weapon room, Wei Dazhuang intentionally walked around twice before picking a rod, and as he was about to leave, he abruptly returned.

This time, he "went straight to the point" and grabbed a crowbar.

"You said you just needed a rod, what do you need a crowbar for?" Sang Biao eyed him suspiciously, but Wei Dazhuang responded calmly: "Why do you think? Of course, it’s to smash the bowl. If the rod can’t break it, do you want me to bother you again?"

"Don’t! Make sure you clean this mess before coming back to me! Get lost!" The setup was so perfect that Sang Biao didn’t even suspect anything.

Of course, this largely stemmed from Sang Biao’s subconscious "trust," because earlier he wouldn’t even have bothered with Wei Dazhuang.

Having obtained the items, Wei Dazhuang didn’t linger and marched straight to the toilet. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

To make the scenario look genuine, Wei Dazhuang indeed dropped a ceramic bowl to block the hole.

Upon reaching the toilet, he genuinely spent effort breaking the bowl.

When he was done, he emerged, carrying the tool stained with filth.

He leisurely tidied up in front of the toilet, ensuring Sang Biao’s henchmen saw what he was doing.

At the same time, Acheng, who had been tailing Wei Dazhuang since he began, immediately returned to the tent and excitedly reported to Lin Junfu and the others: "Uncle Dazhuang, he got the crowbar!"

Lin Junfu clenched his arm in a victory gesture.

Surely, with the crowbar, barring any mishaps, Tang Xiaoquan’s doubt could be confirmed tonight.

However, before that...

"Acheng! Continue to monitor outside, especially Guo Xiaohua. Watch his movements and report back immediately if anything happens!"

"Okay!" Ordered, Acheng went out again.

The tent returned to calm, the survivors resumed their mundane lives.

Only they knew, everything they did was just a guise for the upcoming exploration tonight.

Time slowly passed, the base was extraordinarily calm, without any disturbances.

The people mostly stayed in their tents, one, to reduce activity and conserve energy, two, to avoid provoking the guards and getting themselves in trouble.

But this seemingly peaceful harmony was shattered by an unexpected incident at two in the afternoon.

"No, something’s wrong... Uncle Lin... there’s bad news!" Acheng rushed in, sweat beading his forehead proving his urgency.

Seeing Acheng in such a state, everyone in the tent tensed up immediately.

"Acheng! Calm down! Tell us slowly, what happened?"

Swallowing saliva, Acheng took a deep breath and fast replied: "Here’s the thing, I was monitoring outside, then saw something at the south gate. I thought it was Brother Quan and approached! But it wasn’t him; it was... was..."

"Who was it?"

By now, Hu Xiaodong couldn’t be bothered about Acheng’s emotions and pressed him for an answer.

"It was... Zhao Huilong!"

"What!!" At this statement, shock swept through, nearly all survivors were left gaping.

"This bastard is still alive! Heaven is truly blind!" Hu Xiaodong furiously punched his injured leg, not caring about the impact.

"And then? Did Zhao Huilong say anything to Sang Biao or the others?" Lin Junfu tried hard to control his emotions, knowing the priority was understanding what’s happening.

"Afterwards, I didn’t hear clearly, but I vaguely caught words like traitor, plan, escape, and then I worried something might happen, so I didn’t continue surveilling..."

Whatever Acheng blurted out next, Lin Junfu wasn’t listening. None of it mattered to him, because the facts were clear; their plan had been thoroughly exposed.

"Old Lin, Old Lin..." Gradually regaining composure, Lin Junfu heard Hu Xiaodong’s low murmur. He snapped back to reality, immediately instructing: "Quick! Quick! Acheng, go find your Uncle Dazhuang, tell him to take the tools to the drainage ditch! Xiao Hu, Yan Hua, you take Fangfang and He Jing to the drainage ditch too. If my guess is right, Sang Biao will bring people to us soon."

"But... if we’re going, what about you?"

"Me?" Lin Junfu glanced at everyone, resolutely responding: "I’m finding Guo Xiaohua, I can’t leave him behind just like that!" (To be continued.
