Chapter 71 Ambush
Author: Qijiu Wine
After a peaceful night, the convoy set off on time at eight o'clock the next morning. Yesterday, the convoy had used loudspeakers to announce in the city that any survivors could come here, but no one showed up until the morning.
Either there is no one in the city, or they are unwilling to follow to the base. In this case, the convoy will not wait any longer.
The convoy continued to drive south and arrived at another city at noon. The two cities were relatively close to each other.
Wang Shuo explained to everyone through the intercom that he would rest here temporarily and wait until lunch before hitting the road. At the same time, he also asked people to take the car to broadcast and look for survivors.
As soon as the car stopped, a dozen people suddenly rushed out, and everyone was immediately on alert.
"Are you here to save us?"
The people who came were all wearing very shabby clothes and their bodies and heads were dirty. The leader came up to ask.
Wang Shuo saw that he must be a survivor and asked everyone to put down their weapons.
"We are from the first base. We are here to look for survivors. Have you always lived here? If you are willing, you can follow us back to the base."
"Really? It's great. We have been living here. We are the only ones around here, but can you give us something to eat first? We haven't eaten in a long time."
The man said excitedly to Wang Shuo.
"Okay, wait a minute."
Wang Shuo asked someone to bring some food from the car. Part of the food in the car was reserved for the survivors. They were mainly looking for survivors this time and did not have time to find food on the road, so they prepared it in the car in advance.
Wang Shuo took the food and wanted to pass it to those people.
"Wang Shuo, be careful!"
Suddenly Jiang Li shouted at Wang Shuo. When Wang Shuo heard Jiang Li's voice, he realized something was wrong and immediately stepped back, but his hand was still scratched by the knife taken by the man just now.
But fortunately, Jiang Li's reminder was timely. He only scratched his arm, not hurting any vital parts, and the injury to his arm was not serious.
When Jiang Li sensed something was wrong, he had already rushed to Wang Shuo's side.
When Jiang Li took action, Gu Jin immediately followed Jiang Li and went to Wang Shuo to protect Wang Shuo.
At this time, everyone in the convoy also reacted and took out their pistols and started fighting with each other.
Seeing that the assassination attempt was unsuccessful at first, the other party took cover and took out a pistol to fight back.
If they hadn't been afraid of being spotted with guns in their hands at first, they wouldn't have switched to knives. If they had used guns just now, Wang Shuo would have been dead.
Gu Jin and Jiang Li pulled the injured Wang Shuo and hid behind the car. Gu Jin provided cover for Jiang Li and the others, and Fu Xiaxia and others had also come over to deal with the enemy together.
Jiang Li quickly took out the first aid kit from his backpack and disinfected Wang Shuo to stop the bleeding. Jiang Li had prepared this first aid kit in advance because he was afraid of such an accident.
Fortunately, it is not extremely cold now. If it were extremely cold, this wound would probably not be frostbitten.
After bandaging, Wang Shuo did not take any time off and fought with Jiang Li and the others. At this time, Wang Shuo's cronies had also come to Wang Shuo's side.
At first they were not as fast as Jiang Li and others, and they had to dodge bullets, so they came now and surrounded Wang Shuo to protect him.
Seeing that someone was already protecting Wang Shuo, Jiang Li and Gu Jin stepped aside, but they did not move far away. No one knew if any of these people wanted to harm Wang Shuo.
The people on the opposite side were obviously more familiar with this place than they were, and they had set up an ambush in advance. Jiang Li was more passive, especially as they had to pay attention to the situation around Wang Shuo at all times.
But after all, there were a large number of people in the convoy, and with the fighting power of Fu Xiaxia and others, they quickly eliminated the other party, and there was no incident on Wang Shuo's side.
Jiang Li and the others did not expect that the other party would be so impatient that they took action the next day, and there were so many people there.
However, what the other party probably wanted was to take them by surprise. Everyone thought that the person who carried out the attack would be in the convoy and would always be on guard against the people in the convoy.
But they didn't expect that they would be pretending to be survivors, which really caught Jiang Li and the others off guard.
After dealing with each other, everyone could finally stop and take a rest. Wang Shuo asked the people in the car to find a place to bury the other people's bodies. They couldn't let them expose their bodies here.
Although the opponent was eliminated, the convoy also suffered heavy casualties, many people died. The other three mission teams did not have guns, and two teams hid to prevent accidental injury.
But one of the teams, Team No. 3, although they did not have guns, did not sit idle in that situation. Instead, they helped take care of the wounded.
Wang Shuo went over and thanked them before walking to Jiang Li's side.
"Thank you for saving me. If you hadn't spoken out just now, I would definitely be dead now."
Then he turned to Gu Jin and the others and said.
"Thank you for your help. Without you, we definitely wouldn't have solved each other so quickly. Thank you for saving us."
After speaking, he bowed deeply to Jiang Li and the others.
"You're welcome. Since we promised Captain Wang, we will definitely be responsible for you."
Gu Jin stopped Wang Shuo from bowing, but Wang Shuo still wanted to bow. He understood that although they had promised his uncle, they had saved him just now and they didn't have to take action later. Not only him, but also many people in the motorcade.
They saved it.
And even if they found out about this situation and didn't say anything, no one would think there was a problem, and it wouldn't be considered their fault.
They were really responsible and serious about protecting him. He had to be grateful and at the same time feel that his uncle had indeed seen the right person.
Jiang Li and others couldn't stand him, so they let him go. After Wang Shuo got up, he asked Jiang Li again.
"But how did you find out there was something wrong with them?"
Wang Shuo didn't doubt them, but really thought Jiang Li was very powerful, and didn't understand how Jiang Li could tell.
"Yes, sister, how did you find out something was wrong with them? I don't even think about it now."
Fang Qing recalled the scene just now, but still didn't find anything wrong.
Gu Jinhui thought of those people just now and said to Jiang Li.
"Is it the figure and condition of those people?"
"Is there something wrong? Aren't you wearing rags? Your face is dirty."
Fu Xiaxia didn't react either.
"They are so energetic."
Shi Lin thought back and realized something was wrong.
"Yes, they are so energetic. They say they haven't eaten for several days, but they are in good spirits. They don't look like they are being punched in the stomach at all."
Shi Yuan also understood.
"Yes, but this is one of the things that feels wrong to me. They clearly said that they haven't eaten for several days, but they are no less energetic than us, and they don't walk in vain. They don't look like people who have been hungry for a long time.
Also, although it is outside, it was extremely cold before, so the snow can be melted by fire, and there is so much wood to use here, they will not be short of water at all.
Even if you don't have the conditions to take a shower, wash your face and hands, you can always wash your face and hands, but they are still so dirty. If you don't want to wash them when it is extremely cold, then recently, it feels like they are very deliberately trying to create the image of a survivor."
