Chapter 155 We Want to Take Revenge Ourselves
"Really? Is the news definitely accurate?"
Han Shuo jumped up from the bed.
“Absolutely true. I’ve been keeping a close eye on her these past few days.”
The fat man, panting heavily, grabbed a water glass from the table and gulped it down.
"Good, good, good, not bad! After waiting for so long, she finally couldn't resist going out."
Han Shuo continued.
"Fatty, go and call Shurou over too."
"good."
Soon, the three of them gathered in Han Shuo's room to discuss the matter.
"Han Shuo, we can't let her get away with this again." Li Shurou's resentment towards Qin Hongling was equally deep.
"Yeah, we have to kill that bitch. Do you have any plans?" the fat man said angrily.
Han Shuo's eyes instantly turned sharp.
"Plan? We don't need it this time. Isn't Qin Hongling leaving in two days? We'll secretly follow her. Once she gets outside, it will be her death day."
Han Shuo's approach this time can be described in just two words:
Simple, brutal.
Although the method was simple, it was a well-thought-out decision made after careful analysis and comparison.
Because he knew that Qin Hongling's combat strength was definitely not on the same level as theirs.
First of all, our side is fully armed, with all kinds of equipment and weapons, you could say we have everything.
Even compared to the equipment of those guards, it's not much worse.
Han Shuo believed that no matter how capable or resourceful Qin Hongling was, it was absolutely impossible for her to obtain their equipment in such a short period of time.
How could she possibly stand against him with the mediocre men she had recruited?
Han Shuo also spent some time in the free agents' residence, where there weren't many outstanding talents.
They were almost all people who were ambitious but did not assess their own abilities.
As mentioned before, most of them were rescued to the underground research institute by the guard team.
Many of them had never even killed a zombie; they were simply braver than the other ordinary survivors.
They wanted to go out and see if they could get lucky and scavenge some supplies, hoping to become rich overnight.
If successful, they would have the leverage to exchange their labor with the underground research institute, allowing them to not only avoid the hard labor but also stay here more comfortably.
This latter point can be seen from Han Shuo and the other two, but like them, there are very few people who succeed.
Most of the free men who went out never returned; they all died outside.
Han Shuo knew that Qin Hongling was one of the most capable free agents.
Otherwise, the people she recruited wouldn't have agreed to go outside with her.
Although she was also rescued by the guard team, Qin Hongling had fought her way to survival before that.
Knowing this, Han Shuo never underestimated his enemy.
Besides what I just mentioned, there are two genetically engineered humans on our side.
Oh, no, there are three of them. Since we're going outside right away, Han Shuo has decided to make full use of the available resources.
Try your best to ensure everything goes smoothly and continuously improve your side's winning percentage.
He had kept the few drops of turbid liquid he had obtained for too long, so he decided to make Li Shurou a genetically modified human first thing tomorrow morning.
"Shurou, tomorrow take four drops of the turbid liquid and ask Dr. Lin to help you with your genetic modification as well."
"Okay, I got it." Li Shurou readily agreed, knowing that now was not the time to be coy.
Han Shuo nodded and continued assigning tasks.
"Fatty, you keep an eye on Qin Hongling. Although you just said she won't leave for another two days, you still need to keep watch in advance to prevent her from sneaking out beforehand."
"Understood, I got it. I'm not sleepy now, I'll go keep watch for a while longer."
As the fat man spoke, he turned to leave, but when it came to serious matters, he remained very focused.
"Wait."
Han Shuo quickly stopped the fat man and then spoke.
"Hmm... Tell Xiao Zhao about Qin Hongling's upcoming trip as well."
"I feel it's time for Xiao Zhao to rejoin the team!"
"Okay." The fat man ran out excitedly.
...
Soon, the fat man passed the message to Xiao Zhao, and then left without lingering to continue gathering information.
Xiao Zhao was very excited when he learned that Qin Hongling was about to go outside.
He knew his chance for revenge had come!
Although he hadn't mentioned it aloud these past few days, he was constantly thinking about it.
Imagine someone who almost killed you is now standing in front of you, and you can't take revenge. Just thinking about it makes you realize how agonizing that feeling would be.
At this moment, Xiao Zhao kept pacing around the room.
You could tell from the furrowed brow on his face that he was deep in thought.
This matter has left him in a dilemma.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Zhao suddenly stopped, his eyes instantly hardening as he turned and walked towards Qing Yu's room.
"Tap tap tap." A knocking sound rang out.
"Captain, are you resting? This is Xiao Zhao."
"Come in," came Qingyu's voice from inside the room.
Xiao Zhao went inside and stood there awkwardly.
Qingyu was sitting in a chair looking at some documents when she looked up at Xiao Zhao and asked in confusion.
"What's wrong, Xiao Zhao? Is something the matter?"
"Captain, Fatty just came over and told me that Qin Hongling is planning to go out in two days."
"Qin Hongling?"
Qingyu paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered the name. He knew about Xiao Zhao's situation and also knew that Qin Hongling was the one who had almost killed Xiao Zhao outside.
Qingyu was also very dissatisfied with this person's behavior.
After all, Xiao Zhao was one of his men. Although Qing Yu was strict with his soldiers, he was always very protective of them.
"Hmm? Okay, Xiao Zhao, I understand. You'll come with me when the time comes and kill this woman."
Hearing his captain say that, Xiao Zhao was very touched, but he still politely declined his captain's kindness.
"Captain, thank you, but I don't want to trouble you with this matter."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Qingyu was quite surprised. This was the first time Xiao Zhao had refused his arrangements in front of him, and he felt that Xiao Zhao's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
"Captain, besides me, Brother Han and the others also have a grudge against Qin Hongling."
Xiao Zhao paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, speaking calmly yet firmly.
"So, Captain! I want to leave the guard team and join Brother Han's team."
"We want to take revenge ourselves!"
Normally, Xiao Zhao doesn't have much of his own opinion.
Because the word "obedience" is ingrained in his very being.
This is related to his previous living environment, and it is also a principle that a soldier should understand most when facing his captain.
But at this moment, after thinking about this matter for a long time, Xiao Zhao finally mustered up the courage to not follow Qingyu's arrangement.
He wanted to...make his own decision for once.
