Chapter 267 Begins to Bewitch
That night, the group found a farmhouse by the roadside to rest.
Although the place is a bit rudimentary, the surrounding walls provide some protection against the zombies outside.
All the cars were parked outside the wall. After everyone took out food and filled their stomachs, Han Shuo arranged for the personnel to take turns on duty.
Then he went to rest early.
Even though this operation is time-sensitive, traveling at night is still too unsafe given the current weather conditions.
If any unexpected situation arises on the road, the convoy can easily get separated if visibility is obstructed.
Han Shuo knew that he needed to rest, and that safety was the most important thing. He understood that haste makes waste.
Moreover, they had been driving non-stop all day and had already covered most of the distance.
If all goes well, I should be able to arrive at the chemistry lab around noon tomorrow.
...
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the middle of the night, Han Shuo was suddenly awakened by a strange noise.
He suddenly opened his eyes and quickly got up from the kang (a heated brick bed).
At the same time, Cheng Shenghong's two men on night watch woke everyone up.
"Wake up, everyone! A car is passing by in the distance!"
As soon as the voice fell, everyone came to their senses.
Everyone took their weapons and prepared to fight at any time.
After the nuclear radiation, there are almost no living survivors outside. In the current situation, seeing other living people is even rarer than seeing half-dead people.
Moreover, those who are still alive and dare to walk alone at night should not be underestimated.
Sometimes, people are far more terrifying than zombies.
...
The sudden roar of cars outside made everyone a little nervous.
"You all stay here and let me investigate!"
Han Shuo casually left a sentence and ran out of the room.
He pressed his face against the gate, peering through the crack to look outside.
"Hmm? Judging from the headlights, there seems to be only one car, but I can't make out what kind of car it is."
"Traveling in the middle of the night? I wonder if they're from an underground research institute..."
Thinking this, the car's taillights soon disappeared into the distance.
The other party seemed to be just passing by, without any intention of stopping.
"Strange, strange."
Han Shuo was puzzled, watching the roar of the car engine grow farther and farther away...
He didn't return to the room until he could no longer hear anything.
Cheng Shenghong and the fat man and others quickly surrounded them.
How many cars passed by in total?
"Did you figure out who they were?"
"Brother Han, what happened?"
...
Han Shuo waved his hand to interrupt the rest of the questions and spoke up.
"I don't know either. There was only one car on the other side, and I couldn't see clearly. It's already far away now."
"They might also be from an underground research institute, but since they don't want any trouble, it's a good thing for us."
"To be on the safe side, let's send two more people to continue guarding the area. The rest of you can continue to rest. We still have to travel tomorrow morning."
After he finished speaking, he dispersed the crowd.
"Alright, alright, we'll do as Brother Han says. Those of you who are alright, go back to sleep."
Cheng Shenghong repeated the instructions to his subordinates once again.
Since the person whose identity he didn't know had already gone far away, Han Shuo stopped thinking about it.
He turned and lay down on the kang to continue resting. It was still unclear what dangers the chemistry lab might pose tomorrow. He needed to take care of his mental state and ensure he was in the best condition to face the critical moment tomorrow.
Soon, the room returned to its previous tranquility.
...
Just as Han Shuo and the others stopped paying attention to the matter, the car that had just passed by in the distance suddenly made a strange move.
This is a large jeep that can seat seven people.
What Han Shuo didn't expect was that this car belonged to Wang Bahu!
There were six people in the car, including the four subordinates who had followed him earlier, and Qin Hongling was also among them!
Wang Bahu's troops have never suffered any casualties.
Perhaps only a brute with such strength would dare to travel at night.
They had been outside for a long time, and because their food supplies were almost exhausted, they were preparing to return to the underground research institute.
Wang Bahu didn't want to waste too much time on the road, so he chose the route closest to the underground research institute on his return trip.
It's true what they say, enemies meet on a narrow road. In such a vast world, the two sides actually managed to pass each other again.
...
Inside the car, Gao Zai spoke as he drove.
"Boss, there seemed to be someone in that farmhouse over there just now."
"Nonsense, of course I know."
Wang Bahu, with his left arm around Qin Hongling in the back seat, arrogantly responded.
He had naturally seen the vehicles outside when he passed by the farmhouse.
However, he did not recognize Cheng Shenghong's car, nor did he recognize Han Shuo's car.
At this moment, Gao asked again.
"Uh... Boss, how about we try to steal it?"
It's often said that you become like the people you spend time with.
Gao Zai also habitually had this thought.
Wang Bahu responded casually, cursing and swearing.
"What a load of rubbish! They're probably from an underground research institute. I just checked, and their trucks were empty."
"I reckon those people just came out, and even if we kill them all, there won't be anything to steal."
"Okay, got it, boss!"
Gao Zai said no more and continued driving attentively.
but!
Unbeknownst to everyone, Qin Hongling, who was in Wang Bahu's arms, first showed surprise in her eyes, which then turned into a vicious look!
Because she saw that armored vehicle when she passed by that farmhouse!
Wang Bahu might not know, but she recognized that the armored vehicle belonged to Han Shuo and his group.
Her enemies were in that farmhouse courtyard at that moment.
During the past year or so, due to the closure of the underground research institute, she did not find any opportunity to plot against Han Shuo and the others.
Tonight, she knew that after lying low for so long, her opportunity had finally arrived!
Qin Hongling broke free from Wang Bahu's embrace and then spoke.
"Gao Zai, stop the car for a second!"
"Huh? Sister Ling, what's wrong?"
Because Qin Hongling was Wang Bahu's woman, and given the intelligence she had previously displayed, Gao Zai was somewhat convinced and unconsciously stopped the car.
"You bitch! What are you doing?"
Seeing the car stop, Wang Bahu was clearly displeased and glared at Qin Hongling, cursing her.
Qin Hongling rolled her eyes at him and offered an explanation.
"Brother Wang, I think we should take down those guys. I know them, I know who they are!"
"So what if I know? I already said their car was empty. You want me to do something thankless and exhausting?"
Just as Wang Bahu was about to continue his tirade, Qin Hongling interrupted him.
"What if they don't have supplies, but instead have turbid liquid?"
After saying this, Wang Bahu sat up straight in a flash.
