Chapter 324: Chapter 323: An Unexpected Power Seizure (Part 6)

Walking to the front of the vehicle, Xu Renjie waved to the soldiers to get on. Once they were on, he turned his head back slowly and said calmly to Zhao Yunhai and the others, “Brothers, we’re heading to the location Dai Sha gave us to see if we can rescue the surviving members of the second squad. I know you’re not soldiers, so I won’t insist if you don’t…”

“Hey!” Zhao Yunhai interrupted Xu Renjie, raising his hand: “Commander Xu, your words make us seem like outsiders. Though we’re not soldiers, we’re definitely not the type to fear death. You saw it yourself just now, if we wanted an easy life, we could’ve easily sided with that bunch and walked through that gate. But we didn’t, you know why? We refuse to stoop to the level of those bastards! So don’t worry, we’ll follow you!”

“Exactly! Commander Xu! We’re all in on this with you! Just don’t think of us as a hindrance!” Wu Chao quickly expressed his stance.

Seeing their serious expressions, and remembering their fearless performance during today’s grain mission, Xu Renjie didn’t hesitate, clapping his hands and responding: “Alright! You guys are real men! Let’s do this together!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Renjie began to get on the vehicle, but before he could move, Tang Xiaoquan, who had barely spoken, suddenly spoke up to stop everyone: “Hold on, everyone. There’s something I must say before we go!”

“Damn it, every time, it’s you dragging your feet. Just now when I was handling that Wei guy, you had to pull me back! Now what? Don’t tell me you’re gonna call it off!” Wang Qiang was full of pent-up frustration with no outlet, and Tang Xiaoquan had just given him the chance to let it out!

Tang Xiaoquan looked at Wang Qiang’s almost bulging eyes and couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

“Alright! Stop quarreling! Look at the time! Come on, Quan, whatever it is, say it when we’re on the vehicle! It’s not safe here, let’s move!”

After saying that, Lao Zhao got into the front passenger seat, and the rest squeezed into the back of the municipal vehicle.

The vehicle slowly started moving, and everyone’s mood was extremely complicated.

Funny thing is, just minutes ago, Wang Qiang was arrogantly expecting a hero’s welcome.

But now, he was like a dog driven away from its home.

It’s quite the irony!!

Lao Zhao leaned silently against the window, staring blankly at the passing scenery. He was very worried about Lin Junfu and the others still trapped in the base.

Because through their recent interactions, he fully understood Scarface’s treachery; he knew this bastard would definitely use this chance of controlling the base to retaliate against Lin and the others.

So, he could only hope that Wei Yang… Alas!

Slamming his palm against the window sill, Lao Zhao let out a long sigh!!

“Hey, old man! You need to take things easy! Worrying like this is not good for your health!”

Startled, Zhao Yunhai suddenly turned his head to find that the young man in the driver’s seat was not one of the soldiers, which immediately put him on alert.

Perhaps sensing his change, the young man grinned and said, “Old man, don’t get me wrong, I’m not with Sang Biao’s gang.”

“Oh?” Lao Zhao obviously wouldn’t easily trust him based on one sentence, but upon closer look, it seemed he indeed hadn’t seen this person in Sang Biao’s squad, so he couldn’t help but curiously ask, “Then who are you…”

“Lone Wolf, Wang Zhongyu. Wang as in king, Zhong as in loyalty to the country, and as for the Yu…” He repeated the trick playfully used by Tang Xiaoquan, nonetheless, Wang Zhongyu’s antics did noticeably lighten Lao Zhao’s mood.

“Wang Zhongyu, Wang Zhongyu,” Lao Zhao muttered the young man’s name twice, feeling it was familiar until it suddenly dawned on him: “Ah~ I remember now, you’re the one that Commander Xu called at the end of today’s mission!”

Nodding casually, Wang Zhongyu gave a mischievous smile: “That’s me, not very talented, but here I am!”

“Wow,” confirmed of his identity, Lao Zhao couldn’t help but exclaim; the young man’s driving skills during the final breakout of the day had truly left him astounded.

You know, even in the Survivor Squad, he was considered a professional driver who had faced similar situations numerous times.

Whether it was iron gates or zombies, he’d rammed through them all, but today’s performance by Wang Zhongyu was worlds apart.

“I have to say, young man, your driving skills are amazing! Watching you drive a truck was just…” gesturing as he spoke, Lao Zhao seemed to find words inadequate to express what he meant.

Seeing Lao Zhao’s reaction, the playful Wang Zhongyu couldn’t help but scratch his head sheepishly: “Hehe, you give me too much credit, old man, today was actually a close call for me too, though I’ve driven many kinds of vehicles, I mainly race cars!”

“Race cars!!” This revelation left Lao Zhao astounded: “Goodness, impressive, truly remarkable! It seems us old folks will soon be overtaken by you youngsters!”

Shaking his head gently, Lao Zhao withdrew his smile, then asked earnestly, “With skills like yours, why choose to suffer with us? If you stayed in the base, I believe…”

“Whoa, whoa! Stop right there!” Before Lao Zhao could finish, Wang Zhongyu quickly waved his hands to sign him to stop: “Old man, you can’t just focus on the present in life. With scumbags like Scarface and Sang Biao, you think I’d follow them? Hmph!”

Showing obvious disdain, Wang Zhongyu vigorously shook his head while sneering: “You’re right, staying in the base might be safe, and there’s indeed food. But with those beasts’ actions, who in the base doesn’t hate them to the bone! Before, there were soldiers, so they held back! But now… I dare not imagine the darkness awaiting the base’s people!”

Breathing out silently, Wang Zhongyu showed a trace of unwillingness.

Having listened to what he said, Zhao Yunhai’s mood, which had just lightened up, turned gloomy once more.

At the same time, in the car’s rear, Xu Renjie initiated a conversation with Tang Xiaoquan: “Comrade Xiao Tang, you had something to say back at the base, now you can speak!”

“Mm,” Tang Xiaoquan acknowledged lightly, having waited for this chance. Without wasting words, he quickly organized his thoughts and said to everyone…
