"Can you carry all of this?"

"Before the tsunami, I disassembled a truck and sealed the engine and other major parts, storing them in a safe place. Tomorrow I will find a way to assemble them. If they are usable, I can put the prefabricated house behind it."

"A large RV, a mobile home." Xu Lin gave him a thumbs up.

The five of them had a farewell dinner at Sun Wei's house that evening. It wasn't the first time they had parted ways, and they didn't say anything sad. They just chatted briefly about their future plans.

The next morning, when Xu Lin and Zhou Pin got up, Sun Wei's family was already packing their things.

After the two finished breakfast and arrived at their lodgings, only the prefabricated houses remained to be dismantled. Zhou Pin helped dismantle them, and Xu Lin helped carry their luggage down the mountain.

A four-wheeled truck was parked at the foot of the mountain. A bed board was hanging on the front bumper, the door had no handles, there were four seats in the front, and only a tray in the back. Their luggage was placed next to the truck.

After Zhou Pin and Sun Wei brought down the prefabricated house materials, the group worked together to assemble it and then carried the luggage inside. By then, it was almost noon.

Sun Wei and his group did not linger; they got into their car, said goodbye, and left, leaving deep tire tracks on the ground.

The ground isn't completely dry yet, but it's already safe to walk and drive on.

Xu Lin and Zhou Pin looked at the distant volcano, exchanged a glance, and then turned to head up the mountain.

I need to tell Fu Gang about leaving early.

Zhou Pin went directly to Fu Gang, while Xu Lin returned to the mountain to check the place where Sun Wei and the others were staying. She found that there was nothing recyclable, not even a single piece of trash.

Zhou Pin came back at noon. There were no outsiders around. For lunch, we had spicy blood curd and pickled fish, both of which were main dishes.

“I’ve already spoken with Fu Gang. We’ll leave tomorrow and meet at the foot of the mountain,” Zhou Pin said.

"What about transportation?" Xu Lin asked.

“We provide the car, and he provides the fuel,” Zhou Pin said.

“He’s been imprisoned, where would he get the oil?” Xu Lin expressed her doubt.

"Let's get some tonight."

I almost forgot, Fu Gang doesn't have it, but Brother Qiang does!

"He just left like that?" Xu Lin didn't believe Fu Gang was so easy to talk to.

"He might settle some personal scores before leaving."

I knew it! Fu Gang didn't seem like a very generous person.

The two of them went to bed early at night, and had to get up before dawn to "find a car".

At four o'clock the next morning, Xu Lin and Zhou Pin got up, put away the container and the fence on the mountain, and came to a secluded place at the foot of the mountain. Xu Lin took out a truck, which was similar to the one Sun Wei and the others had, except that the back was replaced with the container they had lived in before.

When Fu Gang arrived, it was sunrise. The four of them watched as the red sun slowly rose from the east. Just as the sun fully emerged above the horizon, something unexpected happened.

Fu Gang pulled out a pistol from behind him and, without hesitation, fired directly at Zhou Pin, knowing that Zhou Pin was quite skilled in combat.

Gunshots rang out, but Xu Lin and Zhou Pin had vanished.

Fu Gang was completely shocked, then he started firing wildly at the spot where Xu Lin and Zhou Pin had disappeared.

At this moment, Xu Lin and Zhou Pin in the space were reviewing the situation.

“I didn’t expect him to have a gun,” Xu Lin said.

"It must have come from Brother Qiang," Zhou Pin said.

"We have to get rid of Fu Gang, but we don't know if he has any accomplices nearby."

“When we went up the mountain, we met three patrolmen, who were probably his accomplices.”

"We were in such a rush that we forgot to put a security camera outside," Xu Lin said.

“Have you forgotten that there are surveillance cameras on our containers?” Zhou Pin said.
