Chapter 266 Heading to the Chemistry Lab
Soon, Han Shuo led the three of them to the location of the armored vehicle.
Because the glass of the armored vehicle they drove last time was severely damaged, the four of them switched to another one this time.
This armored vehicle is intact, which makes the road safer.
The fat man had already loaded all the supplies, including gasoline, food, and luggage, into the car last night.
The four waited in place for a moment, and then saw Cheng Shenghong leading his men walking quickly toward them.
This time, because Wang Bahu was not at the underground research institute, the meeting between the two sides was not concealed in any way.
It doesn't matter if they are discovered by the enemy's spies, because they will be leaving here soon.
...
"Brother Han, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Han Shuo smiled and waved his hand, saying without any sign of mind.
"It's alright, we just arrived too early."
He glanced back and saw that Cheng Shenghong had brought a total of 7 brothers, including Xingzai and Laowu, who were quite familiar with Han Shuo.
Cheng Shenghong understood what he meant and explained with a smile.
"Brother Han, last time I mentioned that three of my men were injured. To be on the safe side, I left two brothers here to take care of the wounded. So, including me, there are a total of eight people on my side."
Han Shuo nodded and responded in a friendly manner.
"Of course, of course. Compared to you guys, Brother Yao Nan, the four of us here seem rather meager."
"Haha, you guys are all elites, one of you is worth many."
The two exchanged a few words of banter, then, without wasting any more time, instructed everyone to prepare to get into the car.
Han Shuo only brought one armored vehicle, while Cheng Shenghong had a lot of vehicles.
He ordered his men to start all the trucks, a total of six, which meant almost one truck per man.
Cheng Shenghong knew that he had benefited from Han Shuo and others this time, so he made full preparations, consciously driving more and helping out.
With six trucks, when everyone arrives at the chemical laboratory or military base, there should be no need to find other vehicles to unload supplies.
This demonstrates their advantage of having a large number of people.
If Han Shuo and his three companions go on their own, they may very well find themselves in the predicament of having plenty of supplies but being unable to bring them all back.
...
Because the two teams are allies, the people on both sides are very friendly. At Fatty's request, this trip is no longer so rigid and has been changed to a free team formation mode.
It was called a free team formation, but in reality, it was just that Fatty swapped Cheng Shenghong for Han Shuo's armored vehicle, while he himself got into Lao Wu's vehicle. The other personnel remained unchanged.
Han Shuo shook his head with a wry smile, not paying much attention to the fat man.
He thought this was a good thing, with both team leaders in the same car, making it easier to discuss things on the road.
And so, the two teams merged to form a small team of 12 people.
Under Han Shuo's guidance, the group drove one armored vehicle and six trucks away from the underground research institute.
...
On the way, Xiao Zhao drove, Wai Di sat in the passenger seat, while Han Shuo and Cheng Shenghong sat in the back seat to discuss the details of the operation.
Han Shuo unfolded the map, pointed to the route he had drawn earlier, and began to speak.
"Brother Demon Man, what do you think of this route?"
Cheng Shenghong stared intently at the map, and soon he responded.
"Brother Han, the route you've chosen should be the fastest, but..."
As he spoke, he pointed to a location on the map and continued.
"You have to take a detour here. Last time we came out and passed by, we found that this intersection was completely blocked by cars."
"Oh, I see."
Han Shuo nodded and quickly took a pen out of his pocket.
"Okay, I'll change this part."
He quickly corrected it, making only minor adjustments to the original route, which had little overall impact.
After discussing it further and confirming that nothing had been overlooked, Han Shuo finally put his pen away.
Although the route was more complete, they both knew that they would definitely encounter many unexpected situations along the way.
As for unforeseen circumstances, adjustments will only be made when they occur.
After all, the two of them are not living maps and cannot predict all the conditions on the road ahead.
...
Two hours later, Han Shuo looked at the map and gave some directions.
"Xiao Zhao, turn left at the second intersection ahead."
"good!"
Xiao Zhao responded and continued driving attentively.
Without realizing it, Han Shuo's attention was drawn to the scenery outside the car window.
"Huh? Compared to the last time we came out, it seems like the sandstorm outside has lessened a bit."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shenghong also glanced out the window.
"Yes, now that you mention it, the sandstorms are indeed less than before."
"That's good news."
Han Shuo thought for a moment and realized that the decrease in sandstorms meant that the natural environment was gradually beginning to recover.
Without thinking further, he suddenly remembered something he hadn't told Cheng Shenghong yet.
"By the way, Brother Yao Nan, let's split all the spoils from this operation equally between our two teams."
"ah?"
Although Cheng Shenghong was somewhat pleased, he was still a little embarrassed as he spoke.
“Well… how about I take 40% and you take 60%? You were the ones who discovered these two locations, so it’s not really appropriate to split them equally.”
"Also, if we encounter any alien species, you'll definitely need to defend against them, I..."
At this point, Han Shuo smiled and raised his hand to interrupt.
"Alright, Brother Yao Nan, why are you being so polite with me? You guys have contributed both manpower and effort; this trip has definitely been more arduous for you than for us."
"Just do as I say, 55 split! Any more and you're not treating me like a brother."
After saying this, Cheng Shenghong stopped arguing. He felt that he was very fortunate to have made friends with people like Han Shuo.
"Alright, Brother Han, then I won't bother with the formalities."
"Haha, that's more like it!"
Han Shuo laughed heartily twice, and the two exchanged a smile.
...
Before they knew it, most of the day had passed, and no one had stopped their car on the road.
They didn't need to pay attention to hordes of a few dozen, easily dodged those of a few hundred, and never encountered any hordes of over a thousand.
It's unclear whether the Zombie King sucked all the surrounding zombies into the Zombie City, or what happened.
In short, they did not encounter any crises along the way.
And so, that evening, the group continued traveling for a while until it was completely dark, at which point Han Shuo instructed them to find a relatively safe place to stop.
