Chapter 193 Leaving Tolls
"The fact that they have the points card in their hands isn't a good thing for them; it's a death warrant." Leng Yi pointed at the people standing in the distance who kept looking back. "So many people are eyeing us covetously. If we leave, this mother and child will surely die!"
Yang Qing was shocked. Yes, he hadn’t thought of it for a moment.
He put the points card away again and said, "Well, I'll keep this points card with me for now. I'll give it to you when we get to the base."
The boy smiled suddenly, "Sister, are you going to take us to the base?"
Yang Qing thought about it and decided that since they would reach the base in just one day, it would be fine to take them with them.
Once I get to the base, I won't meddle in other people's business anymore.
Said to Li Liang, "Can you drive?"
"Yes, sister-in-law!" Li Liang replied.
Yang Qing took the pickup truck keys from Leng Yi and said, "You will drive them tomorrow. We will leave them alone once we get to the base."
"Okay, sister-in-law!" Li Liang took the key.
Several people sat down again.
Lu Lin took disposable bowls and chopsticks from the car and distributed the food to everyone.
Fan Chen and his mother sat opposite, drooling at the delicious meal.
Yang Qing looked over and asked, "Didn't you eat?"
Fan Chen shook his head and nodded again, "We ate a little bit, they refused to give us more."
Yang Qing glanced at the pots of those people just now. There was still some food in them. "You can eat the rest!"
"Thank you, sister!" Fan Chen quickly took the pot over and used the tableware used by those people to share the contents of the pot with his mother.
After dinner, Yang Qing asked Li Liang to take Fan Chen and the other man to the pickup truck, and they went back to the RV by themselves.
"Rest for a night, or travel at night?" Leng Yi asked.
Yang Qing thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave at night. If we rest here, who knows if someone will come and attack us in the middle of the night?"
"There are fewer people on the road at night, so the road will be easier to navigate. I'll drive, you go to sleep!"
Leng Yi sat in the passenger seat and said, "I'll sleep here. I'm worried about you being alone."
"It's not comfortable to sleep here. There's a bed in the back." Yang Qing looked at him.
"It's okay. When I was in the army, I developed the ability to sleep anytime and anywhere. When I was on a mission, I could even fall asleep sitting in a tree. As long as the captain gave the order, we would fall asleep immediately, and we would wake up immediately if he called us a few minutes later."
"Even if you take a few minutes of sleep, you will feel much better."
Yang Qing smiled and said, "Okay, then you can sleep peacefully. I'll call you if there's anything else."
Yang Qing turned off the lights in the car, Leng Yi closed his eyes, and fell asleep in a short while.
Li Liang followed behind in a pickup truck.
Although he was injured, he was in good spirits after sleeping all day.
"Brother..." Fan Chen looked at Li Liang from the passenger seat, "Thank you for taking me and Mom with you. You are both good people!"
Li Liang raised his eyebrows but said nothing. It might have been the case before, but not necessarily now.
"What's the name of the big sister who saved me just now? Is she your boss?" Fan Chen asked again.
Li Liang smiled. Although they all listened to Leng Yi, Leng Yi also listened to his sister-in-law. After all, his sister-in-law was the real boss.
After laughing, Li Liang's face turned serious again. "She didn't tell you her name, so I can't tell you. You can ask it yourself later."
"As for whether we are good people or not, that's hard to say. We will kill people too. As long as you don't do anything to offend us, we will always be good people. If you have any bad intentions, we will kill you anyway!"
Fan Chen's mother trembled and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.
Fan Chen shook his head, "You killed only bad guys. I can see that you are different from those people."
"Shut up and sleep well. Don't talk to me. Talking will distract you." Li Liang said.
Fan Chen pursed his lips. He actually just wanted to know more about that older sister.
But since his brother had said that, he didn't dare to say anything else.
There were indeed fewer people on the road at night, but from time to time there were still people who wanted to stop the car, but they were scared away by the gun that Yang Qing showed.
However, there were still many obstacles on the road, and by dawn we had only traveled half the distance, 140 kilometers.
Ten kilometers away from the official base, the car was stopped by several armed men.
As soon as the car stopped, Leng Yi woke up immediately.
"Get out!" Someone walked to the bottom of the RV and knocked on the door of the cab.
"What do you want?" Yang Qing opened the window.
"Want to go to the official base? Leave a toll!" The man carried a gun and looked arrogant.
Yang Qing looked ahead and found that there was a roadblock in front of him. A large piece of wood was supported by two tree branches across the middle of the road. It would be difficult to force his way through.
These people are so mean. They know that this is the only way to the official base, and they can make a lot of money by staying here.
Yang Qing suspected that these people were colluding with people from the official base.
Otherwise, since it’s so close, why don’t people from the official base come out to take care of it?
These people have set up roadblocks here for more than a day or two. So many people go to the base every day. If we defeat them, we can seize a lot of food.
So there must be something fishy going on for these people to be here for such a long time.
Leng Yi winked at Yang Qing, asking her not to conflict with them for the time being. They had guns, and they couldn't move forward unless the roadblocks were removed.
"How much is the toll?" Yang Qing asked.
The man looked at the RV and thought it was a very high-end car.
Originally, each person was given three kilograms of food, but he said, "Five kilograms of food per person. Open the cart so I can see how many people there are."
Yang Qing narrowed his eyes and called Lin Feng and Lu Lin in the back, "There are four of us, and there's another car behind with three people in it."
The man used the flashlight to look into the RV and found that there was indeed no one else in the car except these four.
Looking at the pickup truck behind, there were three people, one of whom was a child.
Fan Chen also woke up and looked at the person who came indifferently.
His mother looked outside worriedly, afraid that Yang Qing and the others would kick her out of the car.
"Five pounds of food per person, a total of thirty-five pounds."
Yang Qing paused, "We have no food, only sweet potatoes!"
She didn't want to give those people the impression that she had a lot of food, for fear that they would take advantage of it.
Besides, she still had a lot of sweet potatoes in her space that she had bought before. The quality was average, so she could just give them those. She couldn't bear to give them the ones she grew in her own space.
"Ten pounds of sweet potatoes per person." The man asked for a huge price.
"Sure!" Yang Qing pretended to go to the storage room, opened the door, took out a bag of sweet potatoes from the space, weighed it and it looked like it weighed about 70 kilograms.
He walked to the door and sent the bag out the window.
She never opened the door, fearing that something might happen if those people rushed into the car.
The man seemed quite satisfied after getting the sweet potatoes. He stopped making things difficult for them and waved his hand, asking people to remove the roadblocks.
Yang Qing drove over quickly, and Li Liang followed closely behind.
After passing the roadblock, Fan Chen's mother breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little embarrassed. "When we get to the base, I will definitely work hard to earn food and return it to you."
Li Liang said expressionlessly, "You can tell our boss about this later."
However, he knew very well that even if they arrived at the base, they were weak and small, so what good jobs could they get? By then, they might not even be able to earn enough to feed themselves, so how could they have any surplus?
