Ye Yunxi ignored the bickering between the two behind her. Yunzi and Tangtang watched Xuanyu and Minyu arguing with smiles.
Soon, the car arrived in front of Gu Qingqing and the others. As soon as the car stopped, Gu Qingqing walked over and said with a smile.
"Sister Yunxi, why did you come in a campervan?"
"I drive a campervan because it's convenient for cooking, and it's also more comfortable to sit in."
Ye Yunxi didn't care what others thought; she did whatever made her comfortable.
Besides, if they came in a car, there would be no room for Yunzi and Tangtang, and they couldn't keep them locked up in the space forever. They needed to be allowed to come out and experience things.
"Oh, right, there's not enough room in a small car, and there's also Yunzi and Tangtang."
Ye Yunxi didn't answer her question, but looked around and asked her.
"Has Captain Li not arrived yet?"
Gu Qingqing looked ahead and pointed to someone.
"Isn't Captain Li over there? He's handing out walkie-talkies. I heard our team is quite large this time, and some acquaintances we ran into before are also here."
Ye Yunxi said "Oh" and asked, "Oh? Someone I know? Who is it?"
"It's Chen Zheyu, whom we encountered before, and his men."
Ye Yunxi naturally knew Chen Zheyu, but she didn't expect them to come back. They were probably here for this battle.
"Where is he?"
"Hey, isn't it over there? It's over with the first car."
Ye Yunxi followed Gu Qingqing's gaze and indeed saw Chen Zheyu, who was chatting with someone.
Fu Heng saw Chen Zheyu and asked Ye Yunxi.
"Xixi, should we go up and say hello to him?"
Ye Yunxi shook her head. "I'm not going. Let's talk about it later."
Besides, they only met once, and so much time has passed, how could they possibly remember?
After waiting for a while, Captain Li came over and handed the walkie-talkie to Ye Yunxi and the others with a smile.
"Here you go, so we can communicate promptly if there are any problems. We're going to the Fifth Base this time, and we don't know what the situation is like inside yet. I plan to have everyone stationed near the Fifth Base first to get a feel for the situation before making any further plans. What do you think?"
Ye Yunxi's response to Li Yan wasn't without reason; after all, we don't know the current situation inside.
We can send a team to investigate when the time comes, and then make plans once we get the news.
"Okay, let's do it Li's way and set up camp nearby first. But I suggest we stay a little further away, not too close."
Li Yan thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, then let's keep a distance. We'll send someone to check out the situation first."
Then Li Yan spoke to Gu Qingqing and the others.
"You guys get back in the car quickly, we're leaving soon. It'll take two days to get to the Fifth Base, so let's get there as fast as we can."
Gu Qingqing and the others nodded. "Okay, then we'll head back now."
Ye Yunxi and the others nodded, and only after Gu Qingqing and Li Yan left did they take their seats.
When they went to the Fifth Base before, it only took them a little over a day. Now it's polar night, and the roads are difficult to travel at night, so it's normal for them to arrive later.
Soon, Li Yan's voice came through the walkie-talkie, saying the word "departure".
The convoy began to move slowly toward the fifth base.
The car was neither fast nor slow. In the polar night, they had to drive carefully, in case a giant white worm suddenly appeared out of nowhere and attacked them, leaving them defenseless.
The car continued to move slowly, and no large white worms attacked it along the way.
But they did not relax their vigilance; instead, they remained alert and observed the surrounding movements.
They quickly took care of things like eating and using the restroom, and then continued on their way.
The convoy had been driving for about five or six hours, and it was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Li Yan's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"Attention everyone, there is a dilapidated house two kilometers ahead. We will rest here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow morning."
After Li repeated himself twice, there was no sound coming from the walkie-talkie.
Ye Yunxi stretched and said, "Finally, I can rest."
Fu Heng smiled and said, "Shouldn't I be the one who's tired? I've been driving all day."
"Yes, yes, you've worked the hardest. I'll give you a good massage later."
"Okay, then you'd better give me a good massage. Otherwise, you know what will happen."
Ye Yunxi rolled her eyes at Fu Heng. "Yes, yes, yes. I'll definitely massage it properly."
How could she not know what Fu Heng was thinking?
Minyu wisely kept quiet. If he did, he would be severely beaten by the boss, and he didn't want to be beaten up.
Xuan Yu chuckled lightly when he saw Min Yu's expression, but said nothing.
Soon, the convoy stopped in front of the dilapidated house that Li Yan had mentioned.
Ye Yunxi and her group have been here before. It's called a house, but it's actually just a factory.
It's quite large and spacious inside, and there's a tall building at the back.
Li Yan's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"Everyone, take your own things. Some people, cook for everyone. After eating, everyone should rest quickly. Everyone, hurry up."
Soon, soldiers began carrying things, which were their dinner.
Fu Heng found a spot, parked the RV, and turned to Ye Yunxi to speak.
"Xixi, we won't go down. Let Azhe and the others come over and have dinner together."
Ye Yunxi nodded and was about to call Gu Qingqing and the others over when Xuan Yu stopped her.
"I'll go."
After saying that, Xuan Yu turned around and got off the RV to find Gu Qingqing and the others.
After waiting for a while, Xuan Yu brought Gu Qingqing and the others over. The group got into the RV, and there was almost no room to stand.
Ye Yunxi quickly took out the food they had prepared at home, all packed in takeout containers, and ate it directly after opening it.
Distribute the food to them one by one, find a place to sit down, eat, and then go to rest.
While eating, Chen Zhe asked, "Sister Yunxi, Brother Heng, should we pitch a tent tonight?"
Fu Heng thought for a moment and said, "It's best not to. Just bring a sleeping bag when we rest later. That way, we can put it away in time if anything happens."
Zhang Haiyi agreed with Fu Heng's point of view. Before, it was fine since it was just their own people, so they could go slower. But now that there are more people in the convoy, if they set up a tent, it would cause dissatisfaction among others.
The people's hearts must not be scattered now. If they are scattered, it will be difficult for them to organize their forces to attack the giant white worm.
Chen Zhe listened to Fu Heng's words and felt that they made some sense.
"Alright, let's travel light then."
Ye Yunxi then added a sentence.
"Everyone, try not to sleep too soundly tonight, or take turns resting like before. The closer we get to the Fifth Base, the more anxious I become. Plus, we haven't encountered any giant white worms all day."
I'm worried something might happen after we fall asleep. If nothing happens, that would be best. But if something does, we can deal with the giant white worm in time.
Gu Qingqing and the others nodded in agreement. She continued.
"Then Yi-ge and I will keep watch for the first half of the night, you guys rest, and we'll take over later."
