Early the next morning, Wei Dazhuang, who received the latest news, imdiately 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 i 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 i incident, hence he directly ca to Sang Biao.
His feigned ignorance was all part of concealing his true intentions.
Sure enough, hearing that he wanted weapons, Sang Biao imdiately beca 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 so 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 !"
"Oh, co on, just for sothing this minor, you’re getting all worked up. You know what, go back first, I’ll send soone 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 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. Co 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 ti, 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 to bother you again?"
"Don’t! Make sure you clean this ss before coming back to ! Get lost!" The setup was so perfect that Sang Biao didn’t even suspect anything.
Of course, this largely stemd 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.
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 erged, carrying the tool stained with filth.
He leisurely tidied up in front of the toilet, ensuring Sang Biao’s henchn saw what he was doing.
At the sa ti, Acheng, who had been tailing Wei Dazhuang since he began, imdiately 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 confird tonight.
However, before that...
"Acheng! Continue to monitor outside, especially Guo Xiaohua. Watch his movents and report back imdiately if anything happens!"
"Okay!" Ordered, Acheng went out again.
The tent returned to calm, the survivors resud their mundane lives.
Only they knew, everything they did was just a guise for the upcoming exploration tonight.
Ti 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, sothing’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 imdiately.
"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 sothing 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 statent, 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 sothing 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, imdiately 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?"
"?" Lin Junfu glanced at everyone, resolutely responding: "I’m finding Guo Xiaohua, I can’t leave him behind just like that!" (To be continued.
