Chapter 273 Chapter 275 Promise
It took Rong Xianxian and Ming Tianlei no more than half an hour to go back and forth. They took away the blacksmith furnace that Ming Tianlei used to use on the Sky Eagle Team's territory. It was originally his. Rong Xianxian didn't know how Ming Tianlei felt after taking revenge with his own hands.
Rong Xianxian and his team set off half an hour later than the mercenary convoy, and Cui Lie deliberately slowed down when Rong Xianxian returned to the city. As a result, it was not until almost noon that their team caught up with the main force.
Most of the non-governmental groups that had traveled with the convoy when it set out from Chongzhou have disappeared, and most of the groups following the convoy now are strangers.
Rong Xianxian and his group were at the end of the team. During the lunch break, the mercenary convoy in front quickly checked the condition of the vehicles, had a simple bite, and then set off immediately.
The mercenary convoy was well-trained and moved quickly. The civilian team behind them was just about to cook when they found that the team ahead had already set off, so they hurriedly packed up and set off again.
Seeing that there was no time to stop and cook, Rong Xianxian steamed rice in the rice cooker in the open kitchen of the off-road RV, wrapped the rice with mayonnaise, canned eel, pork floss and ham, or salad dressing, rolled it into hand-rolled sushi, and distributed it to everyone as a simple lunch.
During this time in the safe zone, in order not to attract attention (or maybe out of laziness or to let them experience life), Rong Xianxian did not prepare meals separately. Cui Lie, Jiang Jie and the others all ate in the cafeteria. When they were not full, they would just eat some dried meat to fill their stomachs. Now that they ate the rice, they instantly felt very happy.
Ming Tianlei only ate mixed flour steamed buns, pickles or wild vegetable soup in the canteen in the Taijing Safety Zone. He hadn't eaten rice for a long time. The white and crystal rice grains exuded the fragrant aroma of grains. Ming Tianlei was very moved. It seemed that he had made a very correct decision before.
Although there was a mercenary convoy leading the way, there were still some cunning monsters that specifically picked out the civilian teams behind to attack. Most of the civilian teams that still dared to walk outside at this time had experienced a lot of tests, and they all had some desirable qualities in terms of teamwork, combat effectiveness, and reaction ability.
When these lone small monsters ran into Rong Xianxian and his team, they had no choice but to become trophies. In an afternoon, they harvested three monsters, one big and two small. The two small monsters had pointed mouths and long teeth, thick hind legs, slightly short front legs, and strong jumping ability. The larger monster walked upright, shaped like a grizzly bear, covered with hard, needle-like long hair. The grizzly bear monster was extremely powerful and knocked over the car in front of Rong Xianxian and his team with one palm. When the grizzly bear monster aimed at the car driven by Wang Qirui, it was killed by Wang Lin and Xia Kai. Rong Xianxian and his team quickly dismantled the monster on the spot, skinned it, took out its bones and meat, and then caught up with the team in front.
The team kept moving forward quickly until the sun set and the sky darkened, then they finally stopped.
The camping site chosen by the mercenary convoy is a flat and wide grassland. About one kilometer to the right, there is a wide river with blue water that is bottomless. From time to time, something jumps out of the water, splashing water with a "pop" sound.
Rong Xianxian and her friends chose a location near the river, parked the car, set up the tent, marked out the campsite, and prepared dinner.
Wang Lin and Xia Kai went to pick up some dead branches for firewood, Ming Tianlei and Wang Qirui were installing Ming Tianlei's workbench, Jiang Jie was building a temporary stove, and Rong Xianxian was preparing ingredients for dinner. After several tests, the river water in her foggy space was found to be non-toxic and drinkable, and it was sweet and delicious, and there were no impurities after steaming.
"Doctor Rong, it's you. Long time no see." Ye Lanxin stood at the edge of Rong Xianxian's camp and greeted Rong Xianxian happily.
Cui Lie was chasing and playing with his two children. He looked over immediately when he heard the sound.
"Doctor Rong, I'm Ye Lanxin. Do you still remember me? We agreed to help each other, but you ran away by yourself. It makes me so sad." When Ye Lanxin saw that Rong Xianxian saw him, he walked straight towards Rong Xianxian without any hesitation.
"Mr. Ye, long time no see. I hope you are well!" Rong Xianxian certainly remembered this Mr. Ye from the capital. He had a fairly upright style of doing things and his team was pretty good, so they could have some contact.
"I hope you are well, I hope you are well, haha, Doctor Rong left the team before, but I was worried for a while, I was afraid that..." I would never see you again.
"Sister Rong, Xuanxuan said she was hungry. Is there anything she can eat?" Ye Lanxin was interrupted by Cui Lie before she finished her words.
Ye Lanxin looked at Cui Lie holding a child in each hand and couldn't say anything else.
"Mom, what are we having for dinner?" Xuanxuan asked cooperatively.
"How about I make you your favorite meatballs?" Rong Xianxian said gently as she looked at her lively and lovely daughter.
"Okay, okay, Uncle Cui, the fish we ate last time tasted good. There is a river over there, let's go catch some fish, so that we can have grilled fish to eat later!" Xuanxuan said, pointing to the river not far away.
"It's dark now. Let's not go today. Let's go fishing early tomorrow morning." Rong Xianxian said disapprovingly.
"Okay then!" Xuanxuan, you lowered your head very willingly.
"Mr. Ye, your team was in the front before, right? I didn't even notice where you were. How did you find us?" Rong Xianxian felt that she had neglected the guests, so she quickly changed the topic to reminiscing about the past.
"Your RV is so cool, it's hard not to attract other people's attention!" Ye Lanxin said jokingly.
"Mr. Ye, you're joking. I'm afraid it's because we have fewer people and fewer cars that we're more eye-catching! We can't compare to your team which has more people and more cars, and you can tell at a glance that you're strong and powerful." After more than a month of trekking through mountains and rivers, and being unable to maintain the vehicle during this special period, the originally brand new and dazzling RV has become much more dilapidated. Apart from looking taller, there's nothing special about it. After all, large trucks and vans are now common in civilian teams.
"Others may not know about Doctor Rong's ability, but I, Ye Lanxin, know it. It's a pity that everyone has already chosen the camping site today and it cannot be adjusted for the time being. Otherwise, I will definitely move the camp to your side." Ye Lanxin said with regret.
Rong Xianxian just smiled and didn't answer.
"Doctor Rong, does our previous agreement still stand?" Ye Lanxin leaned over and asked in a low voice.
