Rotting Land: Survive-Chapter 376 - 374: The Death of Xiao Mei (4)

At that moment, Scar was irritably lying back on his chair, legs propped up on the table, the tea in his hand splashing everywhere as he shook it.

He was waiting for someone, waiting for Sang Biao to bring over that bastard who had interrupted his "good time," but the way things developed was truly beyond his expectations.

"Thud, thud, thud," hurried footsteps echoed down the hallway, and Sang Biao’s anxious yelling resonated immediately within the corridor.

"Boss, boss! It’s not good! The zombies are coming!"

Raising an eyebrow, a few black lines appeared on Scar’s sullen forehead: "Damn, what kind of drugs did everyone take today! All making such a racket for me!"

As he cursed inwardly, the door was forcefully pushed open from the outside, the immense force causing the door panel to slam into the wall with a "bang."

"Boss! Boss! Something’s happened! Something big!"

"Damn it!" He flung the teacup from his hand, and before Sang Biao could react, he heard a "snap" behind him.

"What are you all panicking about! Has the sky fallen? Speak! What the hell is going on?"

And you have to admit, Scar’s move really stabilized the situation.

After taking a few deep breaths, Sang Biao reported anxiously: "Boss, just, just now someone jumped off the building!"

"Jumped? Who?"

"That... Xiao Mei."

"Xiao Mei? Which Xiao Mei?"

"The one you said was too skinny a few days ago!"

"Damn! It’s her!" Like Sang Biao earlier, Dai Sha was equally indifferent to Xiao Mei’s death: "That bitch, she’s dead, so what? Do you have to panic like this?"

"No, boss, Wei Dazhuang said that this woman’s body will attract zombies!"

"What!" His brows furrowed suddenly, and Dai Sha reined in his earlier casual mood, abruptly realizing the seriousness of the situation.

Without a word, he leaped up from his chair, ignoring the reactions of Sang Biao and others, and rushed out alone.

Are you kidding me, the base I worked so hard to seize, and I haven’t even enjoyed it for long, only to be ruined by a bitch?

It’s something Dai Sha could never accept.

Peering down at the shattered skull and bloody corpse on the ground, Scar’s veins bulged.

He turned back abruptly and grabbed Sang Biao beside him with one hand, his facial muscles almost instantly bunching together: "Explain! What the hell happened! How did this woman manage to jump off! Where are the guards you arranged? What the hell were they doing?"

"Well~" Sang Biao was truly frustrated, thinking to himself: When did you ever tell me to monitor these people’s activities? I only have so many people under me, covering four gates is already stretched thin, how do I have the strength to watch over the people down below.

But even though he thought this, Sang Biao didn’t dare say it out loud. Right now, he was utterly speechless, unsure of what to do.

Seeing Sang Biao stammering without a proper explanation, Dai Sha’s anger surged even further: "Damn it! I’m asking you a question! What should we do now? Tell me what to do now! When the zombies arrive, I’ll be the first to throw you down!"

Predictably, Sang Biao had anticipated this reaction, so he dared not delay and quickly repeated Wei Dazhuang’s earlier suggestion: "Well, boss, don’t worry, I’ve already arranged everything! Everyone has returned to their tents, no one is allowed out; brothers are not to shoot without our orders; now we’re just waiting for you to give the order to deal with the corpse."

"What!? What did you say!?" Upon hearing this, Dai Sha, who had just calmed down a bit, sprang up again: "You mean you still haven’t sent anyone to clean up the corpse? Are you planning to let the zombies throw a party here?"

"Slap, slap!" Without another word, a furious Dai Sha slapped Sang Biao twice.

Making Sang Biao extremely aggrieved: "Boss! It’s not like I want this either! Isn’t this the rule you set! You said we needed to guard against Xu Renjie’s group recently, and that opening the door requires your approval. I really had no choice!"

"I damn it!" This time, instead of a slap, Dai Sha kicked Sang Biao directly: "Are you blaming me then! I also told you to watch the base for me, didn’t I!?"

"Dai Boss!" A deep voice came from behind, catching Dai Sha in a moment of anger, his speech abruptly interrupted. He whipped his head around and shouted at the top of his lungs: "I’m giving orders, can’t you see! You..."

"Dai Boss! Calm down! This is not the time to lose your temper! The louder you speak now, the more likely you are to attract zombies!"

He could hardly believe his ears, Dai Sha never expected that in such a large base, there would actually be someone daring to directly defy him in public: "It’s you again, Wei Dazhuang! Did you think I was joking last time when I warned you? Do you really think I won’t dare to deal with you?"

"No!" Wei Dazhuang calmly denied, taking a step forward without a trace of fear: "Dai Boss, I think rather than wasting time arguing over whose fault it is, we should focus on finding a way to deal with the corpse. Otherwise, in a little while, even if you want to handle it, you might not have the chance!"

Such calm words, yet to Dai Sha, it was like a bucket of cold water on his heated head.

Yes! At this turning point, it’s really not the time for accountability!

As his mood settled, Dai Sha’s rationality gradually returned, as he gazed at the man before him, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

He truly hadn’t expected such a rough-looking guy to be so composed in the face of crisis.

While admiring this, Dai Sha couldn’t help but also feel a slight resentment and jealousy.

Thinking back to the other’s defiance earlier only fueled his murderous intent further.

"Fine! Since Brother Wei here seems so confident about the situation, I suppose you have a solution ready?"

"Yes, boss, Brother Wei indeed has some experience with this matter, my earlier actions were based on his suggestions!" To everyone’s surprise, Sang Biao, who never quite saw eye to eye with Wei Dazhuang, actually spoke up in his defense.

It wasn’t Sang Biao intending to mock, rather genuinely grateful for the other’s "stepping up" at such a critical moment earlier.

Though Dai Sha was unaware of this, he was still puzzled as to why Sang Biao seemed to understand his thoughts. He immediately gave Sang Biao an approving nod and continued coldly along with the thread: "Since Brother Wei is so experienced, I suppose there’s no need to involve anyone else in handling the zombies. You can handle it all by yourself!"

With that, a slow smile crept onto Dai Sha’s lips, as if to say to Wei Dazhuang:

"Wei Dazhuang, Wei Dazhuang, let’s see how capable you truly are today! Can you really complete this task and survive!" (To be continued.
