Chapter 578 Plan Leaked
After returning to the central town, Xu Sanshui and I went back to his room and began to discuss preparations for the next operation.
Because Xu Sanshui and Yao Chengjie had agreed on a date for the attack two days later.
The two days in the middle are basically used for buffering and personnel adjustments.
Everything needs a beginning, and this matter is no exception. While we were preparing, Ye Qian was certainly also preparing to deal with us. As for how he prepared, no one knows.
After all, it's practically impossible for everyone to start a war in the central town. This place is like a base camp, and if a war breaks out here, no matter who it is, it's tantamount to destroying the foundation they've built.
As for where the fight will take place, nobody knows.
Moreover, I estimate that since Ye Qian is unaware of Xu Sanshui's plan, he certainly doesn't expect that we will launch an attack on him in two days.
I have no idea what Ye Qian will do in the next two days.
Upon entering Xu Sanshui's room, where no one else was present, I cut to the chase and said, "Uncle Xu, if this collaboration ultimately succeeds, I hope you will honor your agreement with Yao Chengjie."
Upon hearing my words, Xu Sanshui smiled and asked, "What, do you think I'll back out if I win?"
I said, "That's not what I meant."
"Then tell me, what do you mean?"
I said, "What I mean is..."
I stopped there, realizing what Xu Sanshui meant by asking me that question. He wanted me to back down. It seemed Pu Weichao was right; if Xu Sanshui really won, he might actually take all of Ye Qian's resources for himself.
If that's the case, then I'll have no choice but to put him under house arrest.
However, whether it will be possible to do so at that time is still a question.
When I came out of Xu Sanshui's room and arrived at the bar, I heard some news.
Someone died.
Moreover, his death was completely inexplicable.
The dead man was Ye Qian's man, but his name was unknown. He died outside the central town, apparently bitten to death by a zombie. After dying, he turned into a zombie and was said to have wandered outside the central town for a long time before being discovered.
When I heard this news, the first person I thought of was Wang Xing.
It looks like they've already started doing this. This is the first person they've killed, and I reckon there will be many more to die in the future.
However, Xu Sanshui will be going to war with Ye Qian in two days, and Wang Xing and his men probably won't be able to kill many people then.
Speaking of which, there's something I've always overlooked.
That was Zhou Liang.
After Zhou Liang was forced away by Xu Le, he never showed up again, but I know that someone like him would never let this go.
So I always feel like there's something I might have overlooked.
Xu Le is still in the central town, so I took the initiative to go find him because of this matter.
After hearing what I told him, Xu Le said, "So, you think Zhou Liang might come back?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, given Zhou Liang's personality, he would never give up. So I think he might be secretly in contact with Ye Qian. If that's the case, it would be very troublesome if we made a move against Ye Qian and Zhou Liang showed up."
Xu Le said, "That is indeed a problem, but don't worry too much. I'm just afraid he won't show up. Since he's here, I definitely won't let him go. Someone like him is too much of a threat to me, so it's better to get rid of him. Besides, I also hope he shows up, since I'll be leaving in a few days and there are still a lot of troubles at the dam. If he comes, I'll kill him. That would be the best outcome."
I felt much more at ease after receiving a definite answer from Xu Le.
After all, the only one who can deal with Zhou Liang is probably Xu Le. It would be almost impossible for the rest of us to deal with him.
...
Two days passed quickly. During these two days, two more people died in the central town. Without exception, they were all Ye Qian's men. Their deaths were similar to the previous one; they seemed to have been bitten by zombies and wandered outside the central town for a day before being discovered.
At the same time, Xu Sanshui was ready and could launch an attack on Ye Qian at any time.
Now they are just waiting for Yao Chengjie's signal. As soon as Yao Chengjie gives the signal, Xu Sanshui will launch an attack on the unsuspecting Ye Qian.
At that time, as long as Ye Qian and Ye Cheng are kept under control in the central town, it doesn't matter if a fight breaks out outside, since the outcome is already predetermined.
What I'm afraid of now is that Zhou Liang will suddenly appear and reverse the whole situation.
Therefore, once Zhou Liang appears, I will have no choice but to rely on Xu Le.
I have now arrived at Xu Sanshui's room. There is a walkie-talkie in Xu Sanshui's room. He and Yao Chengjie had discussed it before and decided that they could only use the walkie-talkie to communicate.
Moreover, they all use specific channels, which are basically only accessible to themselves.
"Has Yao Chengjie not sent any news yet?"
Xu Sanshui shook his head. "Not yet. Are you sure they'll really come? What if they don't show up?"
I said, "No, I'll stay here with you and wait. If they don't come, it's like sending me to my death. I don't think they'll do that."
As time went on, the walkie-talkie remained silent.
As for Ye Qian, there was no movement from him either, and it was unknown whether he had discovered that Xu Sanshui intended to attack him.
As the wait continued, Xu Sanshui grew impatient and said, "I'll wait another ten minutes. If he still doesn't give me any news after ten minutes, I'll attack directly!"
I feel a bit helpless, but this is the only way.
Time ticked by, and at the eight-minute mark, the walkie-talkie crackled to life.
"Lu Xiaonan! You absolutely mustn't attack! Our plan has been leaked! We were attacked by a large force on our way here and are retreating now..."
The walkie-talkie signal was very unstable, but we could all hear what Yao Chengjie was saying to us on the walkie-talkie.
This sudden change has left us a little flustered.
The plan has been leaked?
What's going on?
This plan was clearly known only to the four of us. Others only knew that there was something to do today, but they didn't know the details. How could this plan have been leaked so suddenly?
Who is it?
Xu Sanshui and I exchanged a glance, both of us expressing our incomprehension.
"What do we do now?" I asked.
Xu Sanshui's lips twitched. "I don't believe it! Let's just do it! As long as we capture Ye Qian and his brother, I refuse to believe we can't kill them!"
