Chapter 178 You Scoundrel

The young man who was scolded by Liu Hong was named Xu Pengcheng.

Xu Pengcheng stared at the fuel gauge, his face contorted with worry. "Driving like this is consuming a lot of fuel. The fuel in our truck probably won't last until we reach the main base."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Liu Hong pointed at the two armored vehicles crawling along in front of them, "What are you afraid of? Even if we get out and tow the vehicles, we'll still be faster than them!"

"But... but at this speed, when will we ever reach the main base?"

The speaker was Hu Yongsi, who was also a Class B Sentinel.

At this moment, he was crouching awkwardly in the back seat of the car.

The old gun rested askew on his knee.

His right hand gripped the roof handle tightly, making him look like an object stuck in the doorway, appearing cramped and helpless.

Their minivan was crammed with five people in its cramped space.

The back seat was a chaotic pile of supplies, with all sorts of things haphazardly stacked together.

The three men in the back seat craned their necks, their bodies swaying with the bumps of the car, like dried bacon hanging on the edge of the window, their postures extremely awkward.

The van bounced violently with every step it took.

The people inside the car were like passengers in a small boat tossed about in a turbulent sea, their heads bumping against the roof every now and then, making a "bang" sound.

Amidst the jolting, Liu Hong spoke impatiently, "What can we do?"

They didn't know the way to the main base, and they didn't have any extra guns or ammunition.

The map in my hand was drawn on the spot by the sentry post closest to Dongcha Town.

With the sentries from the main base leading the way, safety is guaranteed.

Aside from being a little slow, there are no other problems.

Li Guo couldn't help but mutter, "I don't know what the sentries at the main base were thinking. They only set off in the afternoon. It'll be dark in a few hours if they walk like that."

At this rate, we won't be able to reach the nearest outpost in the next two days.

They can only rest in the wild.

"They have the capability."

Xu Pengcheng said enviously, "I heard that the lowest level sentry in the teams outside is A-level, and the A-level sentries in the big base have very good treatment."

He had barely finished speaking when Liu Hong slapped him across the face.

"Shut up! If you dare to undermine morale, believe me, I'll kick you off the bus."

Xu Pengcheng realized he had said the wrong thing and, after being slapped, dared not utter a sound, obediently continuing to drive.

Hongjie is the only Class A sentry in their Dongcha Town.

Her spiritual form is extremely rare. Once, a sentry at a post learned of this and joked that she could go live a good life in a large base.

Everyone was actually quite uneasy about this trip.

They were afraid that once they arrived at the large base, Sister Hong would see its prosperity and not want to go back with them.

The van suddenly became quiet.

We followed behind two armored off-road vehicles silently for several hours.

The sky was getting dark.

As the light slowly sank below the horizon, it enveloped the desolate winter landscape in a vast twilight.

On the armored vehicle in front.

Jiang Mu leaned lazily against the passenger seat and glanced back through the rearview mirror.

The two vans had a tricolor tarpaulin on their roofs, and they were full of supplies.

From a distance, the high-rising roof of the car looks like a comical camel hump.

The car was incredibly noisy, and it wobbled and rattled as it drove, making a creaking sound as if it were about to fall apart at any moment.

Orange saw it too, and was utterly bewildered. "How can a sentry's senses withstand such noise?"

“They’re used to it,” Jiang Mu replied casually.

Team Zero's vehicle led the way, and there weren't many mutants along the way. They were all taken out by Rabbit with a single shot and couldn't get to them at all.

Jiang Mu decided to slack off and looked down at the communicator.

After getting to this side, we finally got a signal.

The base sent a message inquiring about his whereabouts, and the minister even asked him directly what he was doing in Subei.

The armored vehicles are equipped with positioning systems, which makes it easier for the base to track the movements of personnel fighting in the field.

Jiang Mu slowly and methodically replied to each message, copying and pasting the exact same content.

"If you're feeling unwell in your mental state, bring your child to see a guide."

The leaders at the opposite base immediately became extremely nervous and replied instantly: "Okay, then come back when you're done. No rush, take your time."

Minister: 【…You worthless bastard.】

Jiang Mu pretended not to see it.

Why go back so early?

Staying in the underground base is dark and gloomy, and going back would be pointless.

We can't exactly have him run down to the ground to help repair walls and lay bricks.

Jiang Mu had no ambition to begin with, but as an S-class Sentinel, he had to fulfill his responsibilities.

"Xiao Qizi, quickly ask Xie Tu what time dinner is served. He wants some chicken soup."

In this awful weather, a bowl of hot chicken soup would be so refreshing.

"Yes, Captain!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tianqi opened the communication channel and shouted to the car in front, "Tao Haohao, when are you going to eat?"

He has a baby face, and when he asked if it was time to eat, he sounded like a child who couldn't wait to get candy.

The bus suddenly became lively.

A group of people started jeering at Zhou Tianqi, making him almost throw a punch and start a fight.

On the car in front.

The atmosphere was completely opposite; the car was unusually quiet.

Tao Haohao heard the voice coming from the communication channel and subconsciously glanced back.

Yun Zhao has been silent since he lay down.

The captain sat at the foot of the folding bed, casually leaning against the weapon rack, looking down at the messages on his communicator.

I heard a sound suddenly coming from the communication channel.

He looked up at the bed.

Yun Zhao was not awakened by the noise.

She seems to have very good sleep quality; she always sleeps very soundly.

No matter how noisy it was outside, she didn't react.

Xie Tu said calmly, "Keep driving forward and find a sheltered spot to start a fire and heat up the food."

*

Yun Zhao is currently in the spiritual realm.

Of the three S-class Sentinels in the world, she has already witnessed the mental realm of two of them.

Xie Tu only glanced at it briefly.

However, the S-class Sentinel's territory is exceptionally vast, several times larger than the territory where she first saw the rabbit.

In comparison, her domain appears particularly small compared to others of the same level.

Blue sky and white clouds, a small, clear lake, surrounded by several towering, lush trees.

The surrounding area is all grassland.

The irregular area beyond the grassland was surrounded by a white mist.

Even she couldn't see through the white mist.

No wonder the little bluebird doesn't like to stay here.

The space is too small for it.

It doesn't look like the kind of area an S-level guide should be in at all.

Yun Zhao walked along the lake, and the white mist in the southwest corner completely dissipated, unlocking an amusement park that was even more vast than the original territory.

She felt very tired, and after entering the amusement park, she randomly found a place to sit down and rest.

The little bluebird soars freely in the sky.

It really likes the extra area, like a playground tailor-made for it.

Following the little bluebird's wishes, the carousel slowly began to move, the colorful horses rising and falling, spinning in circles to the accompaniment of melodious music.

Looking at the deserted yet vibrant amusement park, Yun Zhao felt a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.

She remembered herself when she was six years old.
