Meanwhile, Li Yu and the others had already finished lunch.
Standing on the Unimog's terrace, they removed the tarpaulin.
The weather was getting colder, and basking in the midday sun felt quite nice.
Li Yu shielded his eyes from the sun to prevent them from being damaged.
Suddenly, he heard a shout of “Holy crap!” from behind him.
It was Li Hang.
Li Yu quickly stood up and looked down at Li Hang, asking, “What’s wrong, Xiao Hang?”
Li Hang pointed at a large tree in front and said, “Big Brother, it seems some of the snakes we blew up that day aren’t dead yet. Look, there are two more over there.”
Li Yu followed Li Hang’s refer to direction and saw two snakes, black and white, coiled around the large tree opposite them, flicking their tongues in their direction.
Li Yu had excellent eyesight. Looking at the snakes' eyes, he wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt as if the snakes were watching them.
Snakes generally don't have good eyesight.
Damn it!
Are they seeking revenge?
Li Yu hated snakes the most.
He was a bit unsettled at this point, so he said to Li Hang, “Kill them.”
Yu Tong and Song Min, who were nearby, also disliked snakes, even fearing them.
Wang Cheng, who used to be good at catching snakes, volunteered, “Yu Ge, I’ll do it. I used to catch and sell snakes for a while.”
Li Yu looked at Wang Cheng in surprise and said, “I didn’t realize you had that skill. Alright. But be sure to be careful.”
Li Yu thought for a moment, handed him an anti-riot helmet, and then put gloves on him.
Wang Cheng: “...”
Unable to climb the tree, he simply grabbed a stick, intending to knock the snakes down.
The two snakes were directly knocked down, and then Wang Cheng moved to grab them.
Seizing the opportunity, Wang Cheng accurately grabbed the vital point of one of the snakes with one hand.
However, in that instant, the other snake was somewhat cunning. After Wang Cheng grabbed the first snake, it quickly slithered towards Yu Tong.
It moved with great momentum.
Splish!
On the concrete road.
A large combat boot stomped heavily on the snake’s head, crushing it into a paste of flesh.
The snake’s body, behind its head, was still writhing.
Li Yu kicked again.
Splish!
The snake’s body was again crushed into two halves.
“That’s too brutal,” Li Hang said with his mouth agape, witnessing the scene.
Yu Tong stepped forward, looking at the snake below with some fear in her eyes, but she quickly overcame it and then said to Li Yu, “Go wash your shoes. This snake might be venomous.”
“Okay.” Li Yu turned his head and stepped into a small puddle nearby to wash them.
The advantage of these high-top combat boots was their durability and sturdiness.
They weren't easily penetrated by water. After washing them twice, they were finally clean.
Li Yu saw Wang Cheng holding the snake. Feeling somewhat disgusted, he said, “Just kill it.”
Wang Cheng had felt a pang of heartache when he saw the other snakes being blown to bits earlier.
These were all good ingredients for snake soup. He hesitated, but finally said, “This snake, do you want me to kill it for you to try? My cooking skills are pretty good.”
“Are you sure it’s edible?” Li Yu asked.
Wang Cheng licked his lips and said, “Don’t worry, it’s edible. My snake meat dish is superb.”
Seeing that he wanted to eat it, Li Yu didn't say anything, waving his hand for him to handle it himself.
Time passed little by little.
The two snakes they had just discovered made Li Yu more vigilant. He took Li Hang and searched the surrounding area for any other missed snakes.
After two rounds, they found two more and simply dealt with them all.
After resolving these hidden dangers, he felt a little better.
The sun gradually began to set in the west. Li Yu would occasionally peek down towards the mountain base.
Waiting...
In the setting sun, Laowu Mountain stood over eight hundred meters high.
As evening birds returned to their nests, Li Yu stared blankly at them.
Before his rebirth, he had never seen the existence of zombie birds among birds. If zombie birds existed, humanity would have been finished long ago.
As Li Yu was lost in thought, the sun slowly descended.
The sunset was infinitely beautiful. From this high mountain, one could see very far, seeing the small mountains draped in a golden cloak, leaves swaying, and everything in the mountains bathed in the golden afterglow of the setting sun.
It was beautiful!
But Li Yu had no mood to appreciate any of it. According to his agreement with his maternal uncle, he should have returned in another 5 minutes.
Why hadn't he returned yet?
Li Yu anxiously checked his watch again; in just this short while, he had already checked his watch nearly 10 times.
5:00 PM
Still no sign of him.
Could something have happened, Li Yu thought to himself.
But just as he was thinking, a voice came over the walkie-talkie: “Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, we’ve arrived. Can you move the vehicle?”
It was his maternal uncle!
Li Yu excitedly replied, “Okay, okay.”
Then he told Li Hang to get in the car and move it aside, as other vehicles would surely be arriving soon.
After waiting for about a few minutes, a convoy appeared before them.
One vehicle.
Two vehicles.
There were 8 vehicles in total.
Li Yu estimated in his mind and finally realized that even if these vehicles passed, there might still be some missing.
He guessed they would need to come back at least two more times.
But it didn't matter. Take it slow.
It was already five in the afternoon, and the sun would set in another half an hour.
So, they definitely couldn't move things today. Instead, they decided to park the convoy in a suitable position.
They formed a circle, with the Unimog still at the very front, next to the cave entrance.
The nine vehicles surrounded the cave entrance, forming a large space in the middle.
Li Tie and Li Gang, among others, got out of their vehicles and lay down in the open space to rest.
They had transported these firearms early this morning, then transported them back, and now had driven the vehicles back again.
Even though the round trip wasn't particularly long, they were still somewhat tired.
Song Min and the others were preparing dinner. Fortunately, they had prepared enough food, so they made some to eat.
But for the few workers and Teacher Liu, they were unusually excited, so Li Hang took them down to have a look.
When they saw the mountain of firearms and ammunition piled underground, their expressions were just like Li Hang's the first time he went down.
With these things, they felt incredibly secure.
Everyone felt more confident.
After going up and eating something, his maternal uncle and Li Yu discussed the man in black silk they encountered on the way back today.
Li Yu paused with the food in his hand, then said, “Could it be some kind of trap set by someone?”
His maternal uncle immediately said, “That’s unlikely. Although it happened inside the tunnel, we didn’t see anyone else there.”
Li Yu’s eyes were cold, emitting a terrifying aura as he said, “If he’s really a madman, how could he have survived until now in a bridge underpass where zombies hide?”
His maternal uncle fell into thought.
Li Yu then said, “Anyway, remember one thing: no matter what happens, do not get out of the car. Do not stop the car!”
