Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 733 719: Reverse the Roles (Part 5)

He Lei grabbed the beer and gulped it down, feeling great after successfully fooling the guards downstairs to come up so they could be split into pieces. Meanwhile, the brothers waiting quietly upstairs received his command and immediately started executing the original plan.

The Factory's office building, which was initially dead silent, suddenly became lively, with an ominous aura quietly spreading.

It wasn't long before the door outside the chairman's office, where He Lei was, was knocked on.

Dr. Liu was startled, thinking it was the guards from downstairs. He instinctively leaned back, hiding behind He Lei, as he glanced at the three bodies on the floor still oozing blood, hoping a conflict wouldn't break out and get him shot to death unjustly.

He Lei slammed the bottle down with a "bang" and muttered a curse. Dr. Liu didn't hear clearly what he said, but the sound of the bottle hitting the table, mixed with emotion, made his heart race even more!

"Open the door! Damn it, why are you just standing there stupidly? Damn you, you intellectuals are really damn useless!"

"Oh! Oh!" Dr. Liu hurriedly ran to the door, but as soon as he grabbed the doorknob, he stopped. Gathering his courage, he whispered to He Lei, "Lei... Boss Lei, these..."

He Lei raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, realizing he was worried about people outside seeing the situation inside. Growing impatient, he grabbed the unfinished beer bottle and tossed it at him, cursing, "You idiot, you think I'm stupid? The people outside are ours! Dammit!"

Dr. Liu narrowly dodged the bottle thrown at him, which then hit the wooden door, resulting in a "crash!" as it shattered upon impact.

Dr. Liu didn't dare say more; he quickly unlocked the handle and twisted open the door. But before he could open it fully, a strong force slammed into the door, knocking Dr. Liu aside. As he recovered from the dizzy spell, a black gun muzzle was pointed right at him.

The loud noise startled He Lei, making him think he misjudged and that the person wasn't one of his brothers but the men from downstairs. Cold sweat trickled down his back as he drew his gun immediately, aiming it at the doorway.

"Brother Lei, are you okay?"

Seeing it was his brother, Qiao Shan, entering, He Lei let out a big breath, relieved: "What the hell, you caused such a commotion coming in, don't you know those people downstairs are heading this way?"

"Not at all, Brother Lei, hey, isn't this Dr. Liu?" Qiao Shan and the brothers who entered finally noticed Dr. Liu, standing with his hands up in a surrender pose. Dr. Liu, despite being highly respected in the group, was quite embarrassed being seen in such a state by these young subordinates. He awkwardly smiled, lowered his hands, and stayed silent.

"So it was a false alarm!" Qiao Shan noticed He Lei's displeasure, chuckling: "Sorry, Brother Lei, you made such a noise inside; we thought something had happened to you..."

"Bullshit, do I look like I'm in trouble?"

Qiao Shan glanced at the three corpses on the floor, forcing a strange smile, "Brother Lei, we were just being cautious, haha!"

"Enough, cut the crap, I already lured those people upstairs, how's the setup on your end?" He Lei waved off Qiao Shan's words, getting back to business.

"Brother Lei, all brothers are in position per the original plan. We're the last group to come down, so you can rest assured!"

"That's better! Now, you guys clean this place up, move the bodies to the restroom, and clean the bloodstains. We'll ambush them in here later!"

He Lei's orders were executed immediately, and the eight quickly cleared the bar room.

"You four hide in the restroom, and the other four wait in the next room. Five of them will come here. I'll let them in, and once they're inside, you can see clearly through the peephole and rush out as soon as they enter. Your sudden appearance will surely catch their attention, and at that moment, you in the restroom will act too. Haha..."

He Lei's sinister laugh sent chills down everyone's spine; this move of his was truly cunning. He exploited the physiological delay in human reaction.

"Brilliant, Brother Lei, this plan is amazing!" Qiao Shan was suddenly enlightened after hearing it, surprised by He Lei's meticulous planning. He didn't expect the latter to be so meticulous.

"Hmph! Who am I? Dealing with these kids is a piece of cake! Now, damn it, just don't let the other teams mess it up!"

With the plan set, everyone moved quickly, while He Lei sat comfortably, enjoying his beer, exuding an air of strategizing and commanding from afar.

Yang Buwei's men, chatting and laughing, strode towards the office building, completely unaware that an invisible web of death had already spread, with the Scythe's blade sharpened, waiting for these targets.

"Tap, tap!" The footsteps echoed from the red carpet in the corridor as they approached the chairman's office.

"They're here!" Qiao Shan muttered, instinctively gripping his gun, effectively alerting the other brothers to prepare for the upcoming battle.

He Lei quietly sat on the sofa, chugging beer, appearing carefree and completely unsusceptible to the imminent war about to begin in this room.

Compared to He Lei's composure and fearlessness, Dr. Liu seemed much more nervous, standing beside him, frequently touching his forehead, though there was no sweat in the cold weather. It was just a futile attempt to cover his anxiety.

"Damn it, useless!"

"Knock knock knock! Brother Lei, we're here!"

Just as He Lei's curse ended, the guards from downstairs knocked on the door.

"Open up, stop acting like fools all day, will you?"

"Yes, yes!" Dr. Liu unwillingly moved forward.

The door opened, and they entered, "Brother Lei, we're here. When do we strike?"

"How's Brother Yang's injury?"

As soon as they entered, they bombarded him with questions, yet He Lei remained seated on the sofa, gun in his right hand, picking at his ear with his left, as if something was stuck in it and he couldn't hear unless he got it out.

"Brother Lei!"

"Creak!" As one of them tried again to inquire, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from behind. The five instinctively turned in unison. At that moment, the restroom door was pulled open, and four people burst out, crashing them into the wall before they could react.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out!

Everyone felt a jolt; they all knew bullets had no eyes in a melee, so generally, no one would dare fire recklessly, aware that the unlucky one hit could be themselves. (To be continued.
