"Damn it! What the hell is this crap! I ask you, can you speak human language? What the hell time is it? I don't have time to play guessing games with you!" After hearing Tang Xiaoquan's mysterious words, Wang Qiang's already irritable mood worsened.

Tang Xiaoquan just gave a wry smile and shrugged, then got back to the point: "Everyone, since Scarface insists on playing hide-and-seek with us, we'll play his game. Starting tonight, we'll leave people on night watch. If he sends people to harass us, good! The moment they come, we'll chase them all out. Remember, don't clash with them; our job is just to catch them, and the bigger the commotion, the better. The same goes for the day. If they provoke us, we pretend to be hurt and scream. If they cut our rations, we loudly complain. The goal is just one..."

Tang Xiaoquan smirked slightly at the corner of his lips and said, "The goal is to get the military's attention!"

"Ah?" Wang Qiang, who didn't understand, couldn't help but exclaim, "What's the point of this crap? Your antics won't affect those bastards at all! Also, don't tell me you're hoping the military will help you solve this problem? Hey, hey, hey, please think more clearly! That guy Xu is basically the same as the beasts!"

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Junfu understood Tang Xiaoquan's meaning, unlike Wang Qiang's "lack of understanding": "Hey, Wang, don't be so agitated! Sit down, sit down!"

Guiding the "excited" Wang Qiang to sit down, Lin Junfu gathered his thoughts and explained, "I think Tang's method is feasible! Firstly, Scarface is not afraid of a direct confrontation with us, and if it came to that, we really aren't their match, as they have more people."

"Also, Scarface has long gained the military's trust, but we, on the other hand, are outsiders! We are newcomers! If we take the initiative to provoke a dispute, it's likely the weaker side — us — will be at a disadvantage. And at that point, we'll be defenseless against Scarface's accusations. What he's doing now is trying to force us to make the first move so he can get in our way."

"So we absolutely can't give him the opportunity to 'turn black into white'! And Tang's strategy of 'using their own tactics' solves this problem perfectly! We must be proactive! Scarface fears bringing things to light, so we'll do just that! He's afraid of the military finding out, so we'll make sure everyone knows!"

"I believe that this way, he must consider the losses of such a confrontation, as he needs to maintain his position in the military, but we don't! That's our advantage, and our breakthrough in counterattack!"

After Lin Junfu's explanation, the survivors all nodded silently in agreement, even the previously excited Wang Qiang sat quietly there, carefully understanding Lin's words.

Undoubtedly, Tang Xiaoquan's proposed countermeasure had gained the brothers' approval, so next...

The time for counterattack had finally arrived!!

In just two days, from day to night, shouts echoed through the gymnasium now and then.

Sometimes it was Wang Qiang falling to the ground "screaming and crying"; sometimes Dazhuang was frightened and cried like a ghost; perhaps most impactful was the entire Survivor Team "catching ghosts" at night, which really turned the base into a scene of chaos, unsettling everyone and everything.

These days were indeed tough for Scarface; he had been summoned multiple times to the command center by Xu Renjie to account for the recent "strange incidents" at the base. Particularly when Lin Junfu and Zhao Yunhai loudly "complained" about ration cuts during distribution, Scarface found it truly "embarrassing."

He never imagined that the "brilliant stratagem" he meticulously planned would backfire like a stone on his own foot due to the survivors' "reversal."

This not only frustrated Scarface but also deepened his hatred towards the survivors.

However, under Xu Renjie's stern "warning," Scarface had no choice but to call off his subordinates' "villainous acts."

Consequently, the farce that unfolded over the past five days at the base came to an end, and the conflict between the survivors and Scarface reached a relatively "stable" status due to the military's intervention.

Only, regarding this kind of "stability," both the survivors and Scarface knew very well it wouldn't dissipate or diminish. It would only grow stronger with time until it exploded at some critical point.

The survivors were well-prepared to deal with this, having held private meetings, and decided on three levels to address this "latent danger" that could break out at any moment.

First: Strengthen their personal skills. As the saying goes, to forge iron, one must be strong oneself. To deal with Scarface's gang of over 30 thugs, good skills are evidently necessary.

Second: Unite the surrounding people as much as possible. History has repeatedly shown that those who win the people's hearts win the world. The people are oppressed because they lack leadership, organization, and unity. But if someone steps up to lead and unite them, and fights back against the "evil forces" oppressing them, then those with any "blood" will surely "rise."

Lastly: On the official level, as actions must be justified; even a great warlord like Cao Cao knew to rally troops by holding the emperor. How could Tang Xiaoquan and other survivors not know the importance of maintaining good relations with the base management?

However, fostering such a relationship cannot rely on "bribery or corruption." In a post-apocalyptic world, the survivors have nothing worthwhile to offer. Moreover, the others are Huaxia soldiers, their integrity unwavering, and these loyal "iron-blooded men" won't compromise national interests for meager gains.

Therefore, the survivors set their sights on the "special task" mentioned by Xu Renjie. Tang Xiaoquan believed that successfully completing this "task" would undoubtedly establish a positive image within the base.

By doing so, they'd be able to contend with the so-called "Militia Team."

At the end of the meeting, Lin Junfu gave a concluding speech:

"Brothers, since the enemy has set up a stance to fight us, we cannot shrink back. We must bravely engage with them, not only to defeat them but to seize control of the Militia Team! We must not let these scum in society continue to ravage the base! In short: if people don't offend us, we won't offend them! If people offend us, we'll certainly offend them!"
