Chapter 2909 Town Infrastructure Construction in Full Swing 30
Besides the four of them, the group also included carefully selected elites from both the North and South towns.
The monkeys of Beizhen, the big tree, the small tree, and Ali.
A Lei from Nanzhen, female doctor Ruoqing, and Qiaomei, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall and skilled in heavy weapons and explosives, along with six skilled individuals selected from two patrol teams, make up a total of twenty people with high morale.
The convoy set off that afternoon.
Before setting off, Huo Zhaoye dawdled, but eventually managed to snuggle up to Jin Chen's side.
Huo Zhaoye stood by the passenger door, his face serious. "Teacher Jin, if you don't come with me, I might not be able to concentrate while driving, and there could be serious problems."
The Cold War is one thing, but sitting separately is not an option, absolutely not.
As I passed by the big tree where another car was about to get to, I heard something that was terrible.
He immediately exchanged a knowing glance with Xiaoshu, and before Jinchen could respond, he deftly opened the passenger door.
"Teacher Jin! Please! Please come in! The boss drives steadily, you can sit next to him and rest!"
Jin Chen couldn't help but laugh and gently poked Huo Zhaoye's cheek.
"That's a lame excuse," Jin Chen commented, but he had already bent down and sat in the passenger seat.
Huo Zhaoye's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had received a great reward. He quickly went around to the other side and got into the driver's seat.
The convoy headed northeast.
At first, the road conditions were fairly familiar, and the scenery was the usual desolate landscape, but as they got closer to the experimental area, the surrounding environment began to become strange.
The changing seasons seemed to have lost their rhythm here. After driving into a valley, the temperature plummeted. By noon the next day, the outside temperature had dropped to single digits, and breath turned to frost. It was still dropping, and everyone had to pull out their heavy winter coats to wrap themselves up.
"This place is really weird." The monkey rubbed his hands together and exhaled a puff of white breath towards the window.
As planned, the convoy chose a relatively hidden off-the-beaten-path route. The road surface was bumpy and rugged, and the convoy traveled at a slow speed.
Around noon, Huo Zhaoye decided to find a relatively sheltered spot to park the car so that everyone could rest for a while and stretch their frozen hands and feet.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Qiaomei's voice came through the simple car radio, signaling everyone not to get out of the car yet.
There's some noise.
She listened intently, her thick eyebrows furrowing. "The sound of an engine, and... something else, coming from the two o'clock direction, very fast."
Everyone immediately became alert.
Sure enough, not long after, the shadows of several modified cars appeared on the horizon, rushing towards them in a panic.
Behind those vehicles, billowing dust revealed several enormous, strangely shaped creatures in pursuit.
From a distance, the creature looked somewhat like a camel, but its proportions were extremely disproportionate. Its limbs were excessively thick, and it could run upright, with each step causing the ground to tremble slightly. There were as many as six of them.
Such a mutated horde of beasts is a nightmare that no convoy wants to encounter.
"Prepare to go around!"
Huo Zhaoye made a quick decision and pressed the communicator to give the order.
Their goal on this trip was crystals, and they didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble or get involved in other people's problems.
Make way for those fleeing vehicles, and once they've passed, the mutated beasts will naturally be lured away as well.
The convoy in Peace Town began to move to the side.
However, the fleeing convoy did not seem to appreciate the gesture.
Upon seeing the convoy from Heping Town, instead of speeding away along the cleared path, they suddenly turned the steering wheel and veered towards the direction of the Heping Town convoy!
Not only that, but gun barrels were also sticking out of the windows of one of the cars and firing several shots near the tires of the lead car in the Heping Town convoy!
Although the distance was still far and the bullet missed and hit the mud, the intention was all too clear.
They wanted to shift the blame elsewhere, to use the people of Peace Town as scapegoats to buy them time to escape, or simply to draw the attention of the mutated beasts to Peace Town.
"Damn it!" Big Tree cursed, jerking the steering wheel to avoid the bullets.
The Gobi Desert here is characterized by jagged rocks and crisscrossing ravines, making it impossible for off-road vehicles to speed out in a straight line at full speed.
The convoy from Peace Town was suddenly forced into a somewhat disheveled situation, and could only engage in a roundabout maneuver with the other side and the mutated beasts chasing behind.
Taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain, the other party repeatedly tried to force them towards the direction of the mutated beasts, their malice was obvious.
