After descending the mountain, Uncle's group drove much faster.
Although it rained yesterday, the ground was mostly dry after a night.
Blown by the cold wind, everyone closed their car windows.
Meanwhile, on Laowu Mountain peak, Li Yu and his group waited. They didn't have many people and wanted to prevent others from coming, so they sealed off the cave entrance.
Yu Tong, Song Min, Wang Cheng, Li Yu, and Li Hang were bored on the mountaintop.
Li Yu simply took out various weapons, introduced them to everyone, and instructed them on how to use them.
Everyone was very interested, but it was inconvenient to test fire in this place; otherwise, they would have at least tried.
As he explained, time slowly passed.
If viewed from an overhead perspective, He Park is to the East, and the base is in the middle.
Laowu Mountain is to the West, and the path between Laowu Mountain and the base is all forest.
Many sections of this National Highway pass through the middle of the mountains.
Many of them are tunnels, and occasionally some zombies appear in certain tunnels.
So, every time they pass through a tunnel, they always turn on the lights; otherwise, it's pitch black inside, and they can't see anything clearly.
Uncle and the others had already left Laowu Mountain three hours ago, but to save time, everyone basically ate in the car.
In the tunnel, Li Tie suddenly slammed on the brakes.
Screech!
The cars behind all slowed down and didn't crash into each other.
However, in the first car, Uncle, who was sitting in the passenger seat, almost hit the windshield.
Fortunately, he was wearing a seatbelt; otherwise, he would have definitely been injured.
"What's going on?" Uncle asked Li Tie, looking at him with surprise and uncertainty.
"Uncle, that person over there seems to be alive," Li Tie said somewhat awkwardly.
Uncle was a bit speechless, unsure what had influenced him, but at that moment, he thought:
Alive?
Just run him over, anyway...
Uncle suddenly startled awake. When did he become so cold-blooded? Thinking about it, he had changed too much. It must be because Li Yu often nagged him: Family first, everyone outside is a bunch of bad people, and so on.
This influence was quite significant.
Uncle shook his head. Although it was the apocalypse now and vigilance was necessary, one couldn't treat human lives as worthless.
So he said to Li Tie, "It's fine, I'll go see what's happening."
He saw that the person opposite was tall and slender, wearing old black stockings, but the distance was a bit far, and he couldn't clearly see the person's true appearance.
So he slowly rolled down the car window a bit. After the window was rolled down, he heard the person opposite say, "My name is Yang Xuan, my name is Yang Xuan, I'm from Han X, I'm looking for my wife, wife where are you?"
As soon as Uncle heard this voice, his whole body went numb.
Li Tie, sitting next to him, also went numb.
This person's voice was deep and very masculine, just a bit deranged.
Wearing black stockings? With a Superman suit over it, but constantly repeating the same sentence, and with a particularly masculine voice.
His voice kept echoing, making Uncle and the others feel a bit eerie.
Uncle and Li Tie exchanged glances, both guessing that this person must have a mental problem.
In this place, without the car lights illuminating him, no one could clearly see his presence.
Suddenly, Uncle saw a shadow appear behind this person and shouted, "Look out!"
The black-stockinged man, just as Uncle finished his warning, was bitten on the neck by a zombie from behind.
Crunch!
The blood from the man's neck splattered onto his black-stockinged legs.
Under the illumination of the lights, it was exceptionally dazzling.
"Alright, just run him over. This person is beyond saving," Uncle said.
Immediately, the car crashed into them, and the man and the zombie were both sent flying.
Li Tie and Uncle felt terrible. This person must have experienced something extremely traumatic to end up like this.
This tunnel was very long; they drove for almost 5 minutes.
Just as they were about to exit the tunnel, they saw a gaunt female corpse lying on the roadside at the tunnel's exit.
They hadn't seen this corpse when they came before; perhaps this corpse was that man's wife.
Pitiable.
In chaotic times, there are always various tragic events, but they can only protect themselves.
Faced with such situations, they were powerless to help.
Along this journey, aside from encountering this small interlude, they didn't encounter anything else.
Driving at full speed, everyone focused on the road.
The firearms in the car were of utmost importance.
They concerned their future.
They soon arrived at the Gas Station on the National Highway, and Uncle immediately explained everything to Second Uncle over the walkie-talkie.
This way, they could save some time.
They safely arrived at Weng City, and above Weng City, everyone in the base came out.
Dozens of people gathered around, surprised and delighted.
Although everyone wanted to go down and see at that moment, the rules of the base could not be broken; they had to wait for ten minutes before they could go down.
After ten minutes, Second Uncle and others went down, and Third Uncle also came down.
Opening the car's trunk, they saw it was packed full of firearms and ammunition.
Third Uncle, in particular, picked up a sniper rifle, a simple yet domineering smile appearing on his face.
Old friend, we finally meet again.
Not much was said on the walkie-talkie, but some things were generally discussed.
At this moment, Uncle continued to add, "We found over 1000 firearms and millions of bullets on Laowu Mountain. Only a quarter has been transported back so far. There's more, and we need to transport it back quickly."
"Xiao Yu and his group are still waiting there. Let's quickly unload, and then we'll send more people," Uncle said, taking a breath.
"Okay! Let's put these firearms in the underground warehouse for now. Some well-preserved ones in the warehouse can be put in that square basement. So, let's start unloading. After you unload the goods, you can go back. This way, you can return before nightfall," Second Uncle said.
Everyone in the base, except for a few on duty, participated, but firearms and ammunition are very important, so Li Yuan and Li Yu's mother meticulously counted every firearm.
Ensuring every single one was registered and none were missed.
With everyone's effort, all the boxes were moved down in less than half an hour.
Uncle and the others sat down, caught their breath, and drank some water.
Then, they set off with three workers from the base, Optimistic Xiao Han, Teacher Liu, and Lai Dongsheng.
Originally, Third Uncle also wanted to come, but the base needed several strong combatants, so he gave up after Uncle's persuasion.
Including the ones they drove out, the base only had six heavy trucks, but there was also one minibus and one truck.
A group of 11 people, with 8 empty vehicles, set off to return to Laowu Mountain.
