Chapter 501: Detour
The people who ambushed Xia Xiaoman and his group were all wearing common cold-proof shielding clothing, and their weapons had no special markings. Xia Xiaoman couldn't guess which city these people were from.
But Xia Xiaoman took pictures of these people's faces with his mobile phone, intending to return to Fucheng and give the photos to Jiang Yue, asking her to find out where these people came from.
They lost a companion, so she had to find out who was behind it no matter what!
After digging for more than three hours, the snowmobile buried in the snow was dug out. In addition to their own five snowmobiles, the three snowmobiles abandoned by Zeng Yaozong were also dug out.
Suddenly there were three more snowmobiles, so Xia Xiaoman and the others didn't have to squeeze in the same car so crowdedly.
After checking that there was no problem with the vehicle, Xia Xiaoman asked everyone to set off again. After driving for more than two hours and leaving the troubled place, Xia Xiaoman found a place with shelter from the wind for everyone to rest before continuing.
While everyone else was resting, Xia Xiaoman found Li Yu'e and Ye Xiaojie to discuss the return route.
Sun Qing said, "We'll go back along the original route. We've already walked that road before, and we've cleared all the snow that needs to be cleared. It's easier to walk on than other roads."
Xia Xiaoman shook her head. "If Yuehua City knows that Fucheng has received metal materials and space jade, other cities must know about it as well."
"Although the major cities are cooperating and interacting with each other on the surface, they are secretly eager to take back as much supplies as possible. The ambush we just got is a living example."
"From the capital back to the floating city, we don't know how many cities we will pass through along the way. They should have guessed that we would return the same way. There are probably many traps waiting for us on the original road. If we return the same way, we will definitely be delayed for a long time, and we may even lose our lives."
Sun Qing frowned, "These people are so annoying. They were too slow to apply for metal materials, so why are they trying to steal ours?"
Li Yu'e smiled and said, "With such a large amount of metal and a space jade, if it were you, wouldn't you be tempted?"
Ye Xiaojie said, "Then change the route. Safety comes first."
Several people quickly planned the return route. After determining the route, Xia Xiaoman and others drove off again.
The return trip would take a short detour and would take about thirteen days. But fortunately, they had traveled in a hurry when they came, so they had plenty of time and were not afraid of taking a detour.
…
After taking a detour, they did not encounter anyone who ambushed them. On the 15th day after leaving the capital, Xia Xiaoman and his companions finally returned to Fucheng safely.
After entering the dungeon and taking off the heavy cold-proof shielding suit and the oxygen mask that was squeezing her cheeks, Xia Xiaoman felt like she was alive again.
After handing over the metal materials and immortality grass in the space, Xia Xiaoman briefly told Lu Lanshan about what happened during this outing and sent him the photos of the enemies who ambushed them.
"In that ambush, one of our team members died, another was shot in the shoulder, and the other team members also suffered varying degrees of frostbite."
Upon hearing this, Lu Lanshan said, "Later I will have someone give a pension to the member who died. The other members will also receive treatment expenses and additional rewards."
"I'll contact Jiang Yue later to find out which city these people belong to. If you want to avenge your teammates, it's unlikely, but I can help you ask for compensation from their city."
Xia Xiaoman had guessed this would be the result. This sort of thing wasn't a personal grudge, so there was no way to take revenge, but asking for some compensation was possible.
She asked Lu Lanshan to communicate with the family of the deceased team member to see what compensation the family wanted, and to give priority to the family's wishes.
After finishing all the tasks at hand, Xia Xiaoman took Maodan and Nini home with a tired look on his face.
As they approached the door, Maodan suddenly growled in alarm. Xia Xiaoman glanced at it, took out his pistol, opened the door, and walked in carefully.
The house was very tidy, but too tidy. She had been away from home for almost a month, and there was not a speck of dust on the table. Xia Xiaoman realized that someone had entered the house, and looked around nervously.
Maodan sniffed the smell in the house and slowly walked to the door of Xia Xiaoman's bedroom with Nini. Seeing this, Xia Xiaoman pretended to be calm and opened the bedroom door.
As soon as the bedroom door opened, Maodan and Nini ran to the sides of the bed. Seeing this, Xia Xiaoman pointed his gun at the bottom of the bed and said, "I'll give you three seconds to get out of here! Otherwise I'll shoot!"
"Don't! Don't shoot!" The person under the bed shouted in panic: "Sister Xiaoman, it's me, Wen Xu, don't shoot!"
Wen Xu crawled out from under the bed. Xia Xiaoman looked at him in surprise, "Wen Xu? Weren't you arrested and sent to labor camp? How did you get out?"
"Sister Xiaoman, please save me. I know I was wrong and I don't want to go back to labor camp. Please save me!"
Wen Xu knelt on the ground and cried, "I will be very obedient in the future. If you let me study, I will study. I will never run away from home again. Can you save me? I beg you, Sister Xiaoman, help me..."
The days of labor reform were not easy, as the world was a world of the jungle. He was not the only evolver who was sent to labor reform. Other evolvers were stronger and more powerful than him. He was young, so in the eyes of many people, he was an easy target to bully.
The soldiers who supervised the labor camp turned a blind eye to minor fights. As long as their lives were not in danger, they would not intervene in the fights between prisoners. How many of those who were arrested and sent to labor camp were good people? They deserved to be taught a lesson by other prisoners.
Wen Xu has been living in dire straits since he was arrested. He regrets all the time that he should not have run away from home so capriciously.
Xia Xiaoman ignored Wen Xu's crying and took out his cell phone to ask Jiang Yue to help investigate Wen Xu's prison break.
When Wen Xu saw Xia Xiaoman take out her cell phone, he thought she was going to notify the security team to arrest him. He stood up suddenly and wanted to push Xia Xiaoman down and escape. However, before his hand touched Xia Xiaoman, Mao Dan jumped up and pressed him to the ground.
"Xia Xiaoman! You can't hand me over. You watched me grow up. You can't be so cruel!"
Xia Xiaoman ignored him and waited for a while before Jiang Yue sent a message. Wen Xu's body had evolved and he was stronger than an ordinary person. At the same time, he was young and smaller than an adult man. He bent the railing of one of the prison's ventilation holes and got out through the railing.
After Wen Xu escaped, the security team immediately attempted to capture him, but after searching for a long time they could not find any trace of Wen Xu.
The security team guessed that Wen Xu might return to Li Yu'e's house, and sent people to watch for a long time but couldn't find Wen Xu. Unexpectedly, Wen Xu was hiding in Xia Xiaoman's house.
