Several people got out of the car and came to the door of the small restaurant. The people inside seemed to have heard the noise at the door, so they came out to greet them. When they saw Lu Chen and Zhao Kang, they smiled.
"Haha, I didn't expect to see you again. Come on, come in. What would you like to eat today? You know I can cook quite a few dishes."
Lu Chen and Zhao Kang walked up to him and hugged each other before speaking.
"I came here to do something. Look, I brought some friends to your place for dinner. We all know your cooking skills. Just cook it. We all like it."
Lu Chen turned around and said to Chen Hao and the other two.
"This is Gu Nian, an old comrade of mine and Zhao Kang. After retiring from the army a few years ago, he opened this restaurant at the beginning of this year with the help of his comrades."
He turned around and said to Gu Nian.
"These are my three friends, accompanying me to Jing City this time."
Upon hearing this, Gu Nian glanced at the three of them and said with a smile.
"Understood. Come in and sit down for a while. I'll go cook for you."
Only Zhao Kang and Lu Chen understood what Gu Nian meant by "understand".
In less than half an hour, several dishes were served on the table. The dishes were pretty good, but you have to know that in this day and age, being able to prepare these dishes was considered a sign of Gu Nian's ability.
The few of them didn't speak. After spending more than ten minutes eating, they said goodbye. Because they had a mission to complete, they couldn't stay here for long.
We got on the bus and continued on our journey. In less than half an hour we left the county seat and headed towards the provincial capital. However, it was almost evening and the sky was gloomy, so the light seemed even darker.
When they were more than fifty miles out of the county town, it was completely dark and a drizzle began to fall from the sky. Although the rain was not heavy, it was quite cold. Fortunately, Sun Yuqi and Lin Muren had prepared coats before going out. Seeing that it was getting colder, they all put on their thick coats.
They walked like this until midnight, when the car stopped and Lin Muren asked.
"Why stop now?"
Chen Hao whispered.
"The journey to Beijing is quite long. We can't drive alone! It would be more appropriate for Comrade Lu Chen and Zhao Kang to take turns driving."
As soon as Chen Hao finished speaking, he and Zhao Kang had switched driving positions. Zhao Kang was a little tired, so now it was Lu Chen's turn to drive.
After the car was back on the road, it arrived at a county town around three o'clock in the morning. This was the county town closest to the provincial capital.
Looking at this scene, not only Sun Yuqi was puzzled, but Lin Muren also asked curiously.
"Lu Chen, I remember there wasn't such a county town on the way to the provincial capital! Did you take the wrong road?"
"Yes, we took another route. According to intelligence, there should be an ambush on the road from Quanxian County to the provincial capital, so we temporarily changed the route. The reason we didn't tell you is because we have discipline. Only Zhao Kang and I know about this matter."
Chen Hao immediately pulled Lin Muran's sleeve. What Lu Chen could tell him was already a lot. You know, many tasks were only discussed after they arrived, for fear of leaking the news.
Lin Muren also came from a military family and was familiar with these things. The reason he asked just now was just to confirm his guess.
Sun Yuqi didn't say anything and thought to herself, it seems that someone is still coveting these treasures, and their power is not small, otherwise they would not let Lu Chen and Zhao Kang change their route.
Suddenly, Sun Yuqi felt a chill in her heart and her whole body was covered with cold air, and she shouted loudly.
"Stop the car immediately. It's dangerous in the car."
After saying that, she immediately stood up and jumped out of the car window. However, she felt like she was being watched as soon as she jumped out. Sun Yuqi simply turned to the side, and then there was a bang.
Sun Yuqi took a look at the place where the bullet hit the car, but unfortunately it was too dark and she couldn't see anything. She had to use her speed ability to hide in the bushes nearby.
Sun Yuqi was moving very fast, and in fact the other four were also moving quite fast. After Sun Yuqi shouted, they followed Sun Yuqi out of the car and rolled into the grass on both sides of the road.
Sun Yuqi heard several gunshots in succession and determined the location of the shooter. Taking advantage of the cover of night, he rushed towards the killer's location at high speed.
In fact, after Lu Chen and his companions got out of the car, they did not dare to show their heads because of the successive gunshots, so they could only lie on the ground and wait and see.
Sun Yuqi quickly approached the location of the shooter and discovered in the darkness that there were not just one person here, but five people, each holding a gun and aiming at the jeep.
After approaching silently, Sun Yuqi knocked all of them unconscious at an extremely fast speed. In fact, Sun Yuqi wanted to kill several people, but thinking that Lu Chen and Zhao Kang were here, it was not easy for her to kill anyone. Although these people deserved to die, it was better to let them handle these matters.
He collected the guns of several people into the space. Of course, he did not take away all of them, but left two guns.
He walked forward and kicked several of them in the calves, and only felt relieved after breaking their wrists. He couldn't be soft-hearted with these people, otherwise he would be the one who suffered in the end.
After Sun Yuqi dealt with these people, she walked around again. After making sure that there was no danger, she carried the two people back to the jeep. She glanced at the big truck following the jeep and saw no movement in the car.
When they saw Sun Yuqi coming back, they realized that they had not seen her just now. Lin Muren hurried forward to look at Sun Yuqi, then looked at the two people she was holding in her hands, and asked curiously.
"Yuqi, are you going to deal with these people?"
Sun Yuqi nodded and said to Lu Chen.
"There are three more people in the small woods to the south. They are all unconscious now. Go over and bring them back!"
Watching the three men leave, Sun Yuqi asked Lin Muran.
"Why don't the people in this truck get off?"
Lin Muren took a look at the truck, then leaned over and whispered in Sun Yuqi's ear.
"The mission of these warriors is to protect these treasures from being lost. They are not allowed to take care of other things. This is why Lu Chen asked the three of us to come here."
Sun Yuqi curled her lips, "How despicable! They're making us cannon fodder!"
After hearing what Sun Yuqi said, Lin Muren laughed and said softly.
"Alas, they have no other choice. I just heard Lu Chen say that there used to be more than a dozen people in their team, but now there are only eight. Those people are all on missions, and she has no one available around her, so she had to come to us!"
While the two were talking, Lu Chen, Zhao Kang and Chen Hao came back, each holding someone in their hands.
