During these three days, none of them had any rest at all. They kept traveling day and night because they had to get back to the base as soon as possible.
Zhou Zhiguo, sitting in the first car of the convoy, frowned tightly, and with the help of the vehicle's high beams, he looked at the seemingly endless mountain road ahead.
The dark mountains on both sides made the originally narrow and deep road even darker and more depressing.
Zhou Zhiguo had a cold face and lowered his eyelids slightly to hide the anxiety and uneasiness in his eyes. The convoy had been moving unusually calmly and smoothly these past few days.
But this made him very uneasy, as if a huge storm was about to come, but he couldn't know exactly where it would come from.
What's worse, before leaving, Zhou Zhiguo had already sent an emergency support request to the country's top leaders and various nearby bases via satellite phone.
However, after marching for such a long time, he still hadn't seen any support team, which made him even more worried.
One is the worry that these support teams have encountered accidents or difficulties, and the other is the worry about the current situation of the team members.
If they encounter robbers who are more aggressive, have a more elaborate plan, and have more people, will they really be able to save the entire convoy's supplies and Chen Ruoruo?
In the eight or nine days since the start of the journey, almost no one in the convoy had a good rest and had been traveling day and night.
Moreover, during this period, they had to constantly deal with robbers who wanted to rob the convoy's supplies along the way. They had to deal with such constant tossing along the way, and everyone could hardly hide their fatigue.
Even though he was supported by the special sweet potatoes provided by Chen Ruoruo, he still couldn't relieve the fatigue in his heart.
As the convoy slowly entered another valley, at this moment, Chen Ruoruo, who was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed in the carriage, suddenly opened her eyes.
She immediately extended her consciousness out. She was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt a chill creeping up her body and woke up subconsciously.
"Stop, Captain Zhou, stop the convoy quickly..." At the same time, Chen Ruoruo said to Zhou Zhiguo while holding the walkie-talkie.
"...Okay..." Chen Ruoruo's words were suddenly heard in the quiet cab.
Everyone was startled. Zhou Zhiguo suddenly heard Chen Ruoruo's words, and his drowsy head shook violently. He then picked up the walkie-talkie and replied.
At the same time, Tao Weiye, who was in the driver's seat, immediately stepped on the brakes and stopped the car.
"All vehicles stop immediately, everyone get out and be on full alert..." Zhou Zhiguo's unquestionable voice was then heard through the intercoms of everyone in the convoy.
"what happens?"
"Didn't the wolf howl?"
"I didn't hear any wolf howling either..."
"Hmm, I don't know..."
As Zhou Zhiguo's voice rang out on the intercom, everyone became alert again and quickly got out of the car to be on guard.
However, they were very curious about why Captain Zhou suddenly told them to stop and be on guard when no one heard the wolf howling.
Afterwards, the entire convoy of vehicles slowly stopped one after another. The entire convoy was stuck in the middle of the two valleys, neither forward nor backward, which did not seem to be an advantageous position.
"Ruoruo, what happened?" Zhou Zhiguo asked on the intercom at this time.
"There is an ambush. They are our acquaintances. We estimate there are more than 700 people..." Chen Ruoruo used her outstretched consciousness to check for a group of people hiding in the mountains and forests.
They moved quickly in the dark, and in such a short time they almost surrounded the entire convoy.
"What?" Zhou Zhiguo couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing what Chen Ruoruo said. Even Tao Wei, who was standing next to him, changed his expression several times when he heard what came out of the intercom.
"The leader is Long Minnan, whom we met in the cave before. He is not easy to deal with, so you guys should be careful..." Chen Ruoruo said to Zhou Zhiguo while looking at the valley hidden in front of the convoy.
"Long Minnan? How could it be them?" Zhou Zhiguo listened to Chen Ruoruo's words, and several figures appeared in his mind. He thought they were dead, but he didn't expect that they were still alive.
"Well... Captain Zhou, their main forces are lying in ambush at the entrance to the valley ahead, on the hillsides on both sides, and near the valley exit behind the convoy. They should be trying to outflank the convoy. The convoy hasn't been completely trapped yet, and we still have a chance, but time is very tight..." Chen Ruoruo used her consciousness to quickly check the situation around the convoy, and said to Zhou Zhiguo at the same time.
"I understand, Ruoruo, you should be careful too." Zhou Zhiguo looked at the dark valley ahead, which looked like a monster with a huge mouth opening into the abyss, waiting for people to fall into its trap.
"Yeah..." Ruoruo responded and then ended the intercom call.
The people hiding in the valleys and forests saw that the entire convoy was about to fall into the trap they had set, but for some reason they all suddenly stopped.
"Brother Nan, what's going on with them? Why did they stop?" Bai Lusong looked at the convoy that suddenly stopped through the telescope, turned his head anxiously and asked Long Minnan who was standing beside him.
"Let me take a look..." Long Minnan took the telescope from Bai Lusong's hand and looked carefully into the distance.
"Don't be anxious..." Cheng Xinghua patted Bai Lusong on the shoulder and said to him.
"Strange..." Long Minnan saw through the telescope that the entire convoy had stopped. Not only that, everyone got out of the car and was on alert.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Xinghua looked at Long Minnan and his expression became serious.
"They may have discovered us..." Long Minnan said to Cheng Xinghua.
"How is this possible?" Bai Lusong's face immediately changed and he exclaimed in surprise. He grabbed the telescope from Long Minnan's hand and looked into the distance again.
"We were hiding very well and even deliberately concealing the taste and smell, so how could we still be discovered?" Cheng Xinghua muttered in confusion as he looked at the area not far away that was lit up by car lights.
"How is this possible? The wolves clearly didn't howl, did they?" Bai Lushong said angrily as he put down the telescope.
Long Minnan and his team learned about the wolves around Chen Ruoruo through undercover agents in the robbery team ahead. They could sense their presence and give the convoy an early warning.
So, they deliberately covered their bodies with a mixture of various mutated plants and soil to cover up their own scent, but they didn't expect that they would still be discovered.
“Ouch…”
In the silent night sky, a wolf howl suddenly sounded in the convoy without any warning, shocking everyone around.
"Everyone, surround them quickly, be quick..." After hearing the wolf howling, Long Minnan immediately said into the walkie-talkie in his hand.
"Yes..." As the voice came from the walkie-talkie, the trees in the mountains and forests on both sides of the convoy shook rapidly, and sparse sounds were heard from time to time.
"Let's go find Chen Ruoruo..." Long Minnan said to Bai Lusong and Cheng Xinghua.
Their main purpose this time was to kidnap Chen Ruoruo, and supplies were secondary. They had already agreed with those people that as long as they grabbed the supplies, they would share them, so there was no need to worry.
