It was late at night, but Li Yu wasn't sleeping.
This time, eleven people came from the base, plus the original five, making a total of sixteen people.
Tonight, Li Hang, Song Min, and Wang Cheng were on duty, while Li Yu lay in the RV, unable to fall asleep.
He always felt that the black-stockinged boy his uncle mentioned today was problematic.
He had an indescribable feeling of unease; it was his intuition, a deep-seated feeling that his uncle and the others hadn't encountered any accidents on their last trip back, but this time, he wasn't so sure.
After some thought, he decided he would go back with them tomorrow, just in case.
Once he made up his mind, Li Yu entered a state of light sleep.
Early the next morning, Li Yu found his uncle: “Uncle, I’m going back with them today. I just have a feeling that the person you met yesterday wasn't an accident.”
His uncle yawned, and hearing what Li Yu said, he thought for a moment and then seriously replied, “Alright, do you mean for me to stay here?”
Li Yu nodded and said, “Yes, Uncle, you stay here. We’ll probably need to make another trip.”
His uncle didn't refuse, simply saying, “Good.”
Next, just like yesterday, everyone began moving firearms and ammunition. Although there were more people, several more vehicles needed to be loaded this time.
It took half an hour longer than last time, but finally, the firearms were loaded onto the vehicles.
This time, the people staying here were his uncle, Da Pao, Li Gang, Lai Dongsheng, and Optimistic Xiao Han.
The others went back, filling eight vehicles to the brim.
Driving down the mountain was again the most perilous moment.
Li Yu sat in Li Tie’s vehicle, with Tianlong’s people driving behind them.
A long convoy, facing the morning sun, resembled a golden dragon.
Inside the vehicle, Li Yu pressed bullets into clip after clip, filling them up.
Seeing this, Li Tie, while driving, asked, “Big Brother, what are you doing?”
Li Yu thought for a moment and said, “Didn’t you guys encounter some people last time? I think there’s a problem.”
Li Tie thought about it; the person they met last time seemed a bit like a lunatic, but a problem… it did seem a bit like it.
As the vehicles continued, Li Yu felt increasingly uncomfortable.
And about a dozen kilometers from Li Yu and his group, still outside the entrance of that extra-long tunnel.
On top of the tunnel, a line of people stood, about a dozen of them. Their faces were sallow, but their clothes were clean.
“Hua Ge, will they come back?” Little Karlemi said.
“Idiot, since they went over there and then drove so many vehicles back, they must have found something. It’s a pity we can’t find a vehicle with gasoline, otherwise we could at least follow and see,” Hua Ge said.
“That lunatic from last time, after we let him down, he never came out,” Karlemi said.
“Never mind him. This time, I won’t let them enter the tunnel. They’re driving cargo trucks, so they must have good stuff. Maybe they found a Government strategic food warehouse,” Hua Ge said.
Little Karlemi said, “Hehe, then we’re going to get rich this time.”
Hua Ge thought for a moment and said, “Did you scatter the nails I told you to?”
Another Karlemi said, “They’ve already been scattered, hehe, we scattered a lot.”
“Didn’t I tell you to scatter all of them?” Hua Ge frowned and said.
Karlemi immediately said, “Okay, Hua Ge. I’ll go now.”
“Such a small matter, and I have to tell you three times, sigh. Hurry up, don’t get discovered later,” Hua Ge said.
Meanwhile, Li Yu and his group knew nothing. Li Yu was just pressing bullets into magazines, one by one.
One after another.
Ten-odd minutes passed in a flash.
On this National Highway, on both sides of the tunnel, Hua Ge and the Karlemis were crouching by both entrances of the tunnel.
They had scattered nails at the tunnel entrance, and so.
It would be easy for vehicles to skid, or even directly fall into the tunnel.
This was their method. According to their observations, eight vehicles had passed through this time, and the number of people was a bit troublesome. But it wasn't a big problem; in this regard, Hua Ge had absolute confidence.
Waiting.
Li Yu and his group were getting closer and closer.
In the vehicle, Li Tie saw the tunnel and said, “Big Brother, last time we met that black-stockinged boy inside this tunnel.”
“Hmm?” Li Yu raised his head and looked at the tunnel ahead.
They had encountered many tunnels along the way, but this one looked much larger.
Since his rebirth, Li Yu’s eyesight had improved greatly. Under the sunlight, he saw the tunnel ahead, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The vehicle speed wasn't slow. Li Yu seemed to have seen something.
He quickly said, “Stop, stop!” His eyes were filled with urgency, and his hand wanted to reach for the steering wheel, but he didn't move it.
Li Tie reacted quickly and slammed on the brakes.
The vehicle swerved like a dragon wagging its tail, directly throwing itself sideways.
“Screech~~~”
The tires screeched from the sudden braking.
They barely missed that bright spot. Most people wouldn't be able to see it clearly from a distance, but Li Yu’s eyesight was better, and he still only saw it indistinctly.
But he felt there was a problem.
“Bang!”
The sound of a tire blowing out.
The front side tire of the leading vehicle had directly run over a nail.
Indeed!
This sound absolutely couldn't be due to tire wear; it had to be something sharp.
Through the window glass, Li Tie looked at the road ahead with lingering fear, sitting in the vehicle, he could now clearly see nails covering the road ten meters ahead.
This is truly messed up.
The vehicles behind, because Li Yu had given instructions, were all large vehicles, so the distance between them was also a good twenty meters.
At the same time.
By the tunnel, Hua Ge and a few others watched the leading vehicle brake suddenly, then, with an almost miraculous maneuver, it actually managed to swerve around.
Although in the very end, one tire still blew out, this was completely not according to their expectations!
According to their plan, a vehicle moving at high speed, after being punctured by nails, would inevitably skid and overturn, and the vehicles behind would also skid, leading to a chain accident.
But now this...
Except for the first vehicle, and even the first vehicle only had one tire blown, the other seven vehicles were completely fine, slowly coming to a stop.
What the heck...
“Hua Ge, are we still going over? To rob them,” Little Karlemi said.
Hua Ge gave him a speechless look. Now, the people on the other side were fine. Eight vehicles meant at least eight people, and they only had a dozen people here. How could they manage?
“Forget it, retreat. They might still come back. We’ll change locations then. I don’t believe they’ll have such good luck every time.”
“Okay,” Little Karlemi said.
The Karlemis retreated from both sides, emitting a secret signal.
“Coo-coo~~~”
In the vehicle, Li Yu heard the sound of a Bu Gu bird and asked Li Tie, “Bu Gu birds usually call a lot in April and May, right?”
“I think so.” Li Tie scratched his head; the tire had blown, and they needed to replace it.
