The off-road vehicle drove very slowly in the forest, and it had to go around in circles from time to time. Without the heavy forklift to clear the way ahead, the road was really not that easy to walk.
Wang Sihan was driving, Liu Shiba was in the passenger seat, Solanta was holding a sniper rifle and Lao Hei was sitting in the back seat, rocking back and forth and falling asleep.
Watching Wang Sihan skillfully turn the steering wheel, the off-road vehicle moved flexibly through the dense forest.
Liu Shiba didn't need to guess to know that this girl usually played with various vehicles and drove around all day long, so it was not without reason that Old Man Wang often called her a wild girl.
——————————
Counting from the location of the ambush, the straight-line distance to the Dingbian gathering place is only more than thirty kilometers.
Although the virgin jungle only took up about ten kilometers of the journey, it took more than two hours for Liu Shiba and his party to drive cross-country before finally slowly driving out of the forest along the passage trampled by the tide of corpses.
Further ahead, there is an endless wilderness area. If you drive smoothly, you can reach the Dingbian gathering place in at most one hour.
"Woooo..."
At this time, Lao Hei, who was dozing in the back seat of the off-road vehicle, suddenly turned over and sat up, letting out a low roar.
Liu Shiba turned his head to look at Lao Hei, and immediately said to Wang Sihan who was driving:
"Drive slower, Lao Hei is a little weird. He must have noticed something is wrong."
Solanta also became alert. After pulling the bolt of the gun and loading Barrett, she immediately added to Wang Sihan:
"Turn off the headlights."
"Um!"
Wang Sihan nodded and immediately followed the instructions. The off-road vehicle slowed down and turned off all the lights.
"Click!"
"Crack!"
The rear door of the off-road vehicle made two soft noises.
Wang Sihan looked back and found that Solanta and Lao Hei were gone, and there was no one in the back seat.
Looking back, Wang Sihan found that Liu Shiba had no expression on his face and was still looking at the front of the car window calmly, as if he had long been accustomed to the silent coming and going of Solanta and Lao Hei.
"Drive slowly and don't look around!"
Liu Shiba looked forward and whispered.
"oh!"
Wang Sihan came to his senses in response and immediately focused his attention on the road in front of the car.
At this time, the sky was getting whiter, and while it was dimly lit up, there was also a layer of thick fog...
"There seems to be someone still waving?"
Not long after Solanta and Lao Hei got out of the car quietly, Wang Sihan, who was driving, noticed a vague figure standing right in front of the off-road vehicle, raising his hand and waving left and right.
Although the figure in front of the fog could not be seen clearly, Liu Shiba still had a faint smile on his lips and whispered:
"It's better to come early than to come early. When you doze off, your pillow will fall off!"
Wang Sihan would definitely not know the figure waving in front of him if he had never seen it before, but Liu Shiba and Solanta were lucky enough to see it once on the treetops.
The fog was so thick that it would have been impossible to see the figure clearly, but Liu Shiba recognized who it was. In fact, the person waving was wearing a cloak with a hood.
If I'm not mistaken, the cloak is green...
"what to do?"
Wang Sihan asked nervously with a pale face.
Liu Shiba said softly:
"Don't be anxious, just drive forward slowly, and then slowly park the car to the left of this person."
"squeak!"
The off-road vehicle braked lightly and stopped next to the man.
"Boom boom!"
The man walked to Liu Shiba's side and raised his hand to knock on the car window.
With a smile on his face, Liu Shiba slowly lowered the car window. There was a middle-aged man in his forties standing outside the car.
This man wears a green hooded cloak, and the hood of the cloak is currently worn on his head, with the front edge pulled very low.
As soon as the car window was lowered, the man asked coldly:
"Why is it just an off-road vehicle? Where is the transportation team? I waited around and didn't see the transportation team coming.
After the fog started, Mr. Hou was worried that the convoy would get lost, so he asked me to wait here for the transport team to arrive, and then immediately take the convoy into the city..."
Liu Shiba rolled his eyes and responded with a smile:
"Brother, thank you for your hard work! The transport team is not far behind. It may have come out of the forest. It should arrive later."
At this time, the man in green robe pulled down his hat, looked up at Liu Shiba, and then at Wang Sihan, who was sitting in the driver's seat with a frozen expression. He was startled and then said doubtfully:
"This is Captain Chen's car, yes, but who are you? I don't think I've seen it before?"
Liu Shiba was very natural, he opened the door and got out of the car with a smile, took out two cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to the confused man, then took out a match and went over to help him light it before explaining:
"Haha! Because the track of the lead car is broken, Captain Chen is personally supervising the emergency repairs.
He was also worried about losing time, so he sent two of us to drive ahead to report to Mr. Hou, saying that the convoy would arrive soon after the tracks were connected."
After finishing speaking, Liu Shiba lit the cigarette with an almost burned out match, then closed his eyes and took a nice puff.
The man glared at Liu Shiba, who was unsuspecting and puffing away smoke. Then his doubts were gone, and he put the cigarette to his lips and took two puffs.
Liu Shiba and the man were leaning against the front of the car, puffing away smoke. The man put the cigarette in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully before turning his head and laughing:
"Very rare old China? A few of us advanced ability users have really suffered in the past few years, running around with no one but no ghosts.
From the perspective of daily life, it is not good, and his life is not as rich as that of a small boy in the transportation team.
You see, I can only smoke my own hemp leaf blended cigarettes on weekdays, so how can I afford to smoke Zhonghua? These cigarettes cost two blue diamonds each and one red diamond per pack, which is a luxury product.
It seems that your transportation team has gained a lot of benefits by following us in the autumn wind during this period..."
Liu Shiba reached out and turned over, and there was another unopened pack of Chinese cigarettes in his hand. He handed it to the man with a smile.
The man generously stuffed the cigarette into his pocket, patted Liu Shiba on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Not bad, not bad, you are very good at getting things done! You have a bright future..."
As he spoke, the man rolled his eyes and turned to Wang Sihan, who was sitting in the cab with an expressionless face.
Pointing at Wang Sihan, the man narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Who is this girl to you? It seems like this is the first time you have seen her."
Liu Shiba quickly responded: "This is my sister!"
Unexpectedly, when Liu Shiba said this, Wang Sihan's stiff expression in the car immediately became smooth and he immediately defended:
"I am his woman, no, wife!"
Unexpectedly, the man smiled at Liu Shiba and said:
"Not bad! You can tell at a glance that she is still a young girl, don't be afraid, hahahaha!"
"hehe!"
Liu Shiba nodded with a smile, and then suddenly asked:
"The transport team hasn't arrived yet. Mr. Hou must be waiting impatiently, right?"
The man shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"Of course Mr. Hou is not in a hurry. He said he had other things to attend to! In fact, I am the one who is in a hurry.
When the transportation team arrives, just follow me. I will be responsible for leading the transportation team to load the equipment and transport it back."
Liu Shiba smiled and nodded, but suddenly looked over the man's shoulder, pointed behind him happily and said:
"Look, the transport team is here."
