"..." Han Xiao and the others did not say anything after hearing this. During the time they were out, they clearly noticed that the surroundings were becoming more and more unsettled. Right now, the safest thing to do was to get to Kyoto as soon as possible.
Chen Ruoruo drank the porridge in small sips, then went to the side to feed Erlangzi and the wolf king with food and water, and then leaned against Erlangzi and closed her eyes to rest. They were still within the territory of Shudu, and the surroundings were relatively safe.
However, this place is still a long way from Kyoto, and she will have to travel continuously. Besides, she doesn't know what she will encounter on the way, so she has to take time to rest.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhiguo and others cleaned up and went to rest. Xia Xiaoying and others saw Chen Ruoruo, and the hearts that had been hanging in the air for the past few days were finally put at ease. They slept well that night.
The next day, early in the morning, after everyone had packed up, they prepared to set off again.
Looking at the cars in front of them, the group couldn't help but pursed their lips. Together with the truckload of soil that Han Xiao and his team had dug out from Chen Ruoruo's residence, there were five cars in total. Compared with their previous missions, it was really shabby.
There were not many people on their trip. Han Xiao brought more than ten people from Kyoto, Qi Jiang and his three companions, plus Zhou Zhiguo's more than ten people. All in all, there were about twenty people. They were really traveling light this time.
The vehicle arrangement at the time of departure was still Zhou Zhiguo leading the way in the front car, Chen Ruoruo in the middle car, and Han Xiao and Qi Jiang and others protecting Chen Ruoruo in front and behind.
In the first few days after setting out, everything went smoothly and they encountered nothing special along the way. However, Zhou Zhiguo and his companions did not dare to relax and kept their nerves tense throughout the journey.
Jinhui Base
"Brother Feng, according to the news, she has left the Shudu base." Tian Hu said to Wu Feng who was sitting at the desk.
"She really left..." Song Yunfeng frowned and sighed.
"Brother Song, what on earth does this woman think? Why is it so hard to guess what she is thinking?" Chen Bu asked doubtfully.
"What's so hard to guess? She's a fool, or our brother Feng is lucky..." Tian Hu said with some pride.
"She's not stupid..." Wu Feng looked at Tian Hu and said with a serious face.
"..." Seeing Wu Feng's bad expression, Tian Hu also fell silent.
Wu Feng and Song Yunfeng looked at each other. They both knew in their hearts that the real reason why Chen Ruoruo gave them such a large base was just to get rid of them. At the same time, use them to attract the attention of other bases and get rid of trouble.
After traveling for several days in a row, the convoy stopped in an open area that night. Zhou Zhiguo and his men got off the car to check the surrounding situation. After confirming that it was safe, he notified everyone to get off the car and rest here temporarily.
"Captain Zhou, we are out of the territory of Shudu, right?" Qi Jiang
"Hmm..." Zhou Zhiguo looked around and nodded in response.
"I really hope that the road ahead will be as smooth as it has been these past few days..." Mu Jiao sighed and said
"Captain Han, when you came from Kyoto before, did you take this road?" Xia Xiaoying
"Yes..." Han Xiao
"Did you encounter anything difficult on the road?" Li Xue
Han Xiao and his companions all looked unhappy after hearing what Li Xue said. Their journey here was not smooth. They encountered many mutated animals and plants along the way, and even lost many of their companions.
Suddenly, no one spoke. Li Xue and the others saw that Han Xiao and the others looked unhappy, and they knew that they had said something wrong just now and might have mentioned their sad stories.
For a moment, the surroundings became quiet again.
"Awoo..." Suddenly, a wolf howl sounded in the silent night. When Zhou Zhiguo and his companions heard the sound, they subconsciously stood up vigilantly, surrounded Chen Ruoruo, and looked at the dark surroundings with a defensive look on their faces.
However, they later realized that the sound they had just heard seemed a little wrong. It did not seem to come from their ears, but from a distance. Everyone was puzzled and looked at the few people beside Chen Ruoruo.
At this time, Erlangzi and the wolf kings who were originally around Chen Ruoruo also stood up, lowered their upper bodies, and stared at the depths of the night with their red eyes.
"It's not them, it's other guys over there." Chen Ruoruo saw the confusion on Zhou Zhiguo and others' faces, then pointed to a place not far away and said.
They saw something rushing towards them rapidly in the pitch-black depths a few hundred meters away, like a black wave. It was too late for them to get in the car and leave.
"Be alert..." Zhou Zhiguo said to everyone after hearing Chen Ruoruo's words.
"It's all your fault for being so pesky. Why are you so curious for no reason..." Li Jun looked at Xia Xiaoying and Li Xue with a complaining look.
"Who knew this thing could attract you with just a few words? I've seen it too..." Xia Xiaoying looked alert and cautious, but still refused to admit defeat as she argued with Li Jun.
"Why don't you try saying a few words..." Li Xue said to Li Jun from the side.
"You..." Li Jun was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.
"Li Jun, please say less..." Mou Jiao
"Okay, what time is it? Pay attention to your surroundings..." Qi Jiang said.
As they were talking, they could sense something rapidly approaching them. Then, in the firelight, they saw a circle of red eyes, identical to those of the wolf kings surrounding Chen Ruoruo.
"What is that thing? Why does it look so similar to them..." Li Jun couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw it, and pointed at the wolf kings standing next to Chen Ruoruo.
"It's a pack of mutant wolves, everyone be careful..." Ma Qian said seriously.
"What?" After hearing Ma Qian's words, the group looked at the thing rushing towards them in the dark night with shocked and incredible expressions.
Afterwards, with the help of the bonfire light and the car lights, the group saw clearly what was running towards them from all directions. It was a group of huge mutant wolves with ferocious faces.
These guys looked almost the same as the ones around Chen Ruoruo, except that they were obviously much thinner. You could even see their ribs on their stomachs, as if they were just a skeleton with a piece of wolf skin hanging on it.
Moreover, there are many scars of varying sizes on this skin, and the hair has not even grown in some places, making it look mottled. Looking at the wolf kings here, they are strong and have shiny fur without any flaws. In comparison, they look obviously weaker in momentum.
However, the number of these mutant wolves was very large. There were about fifty or sixty of them running towards them, and they had surrounded Zhou Zhiguo and his men.
Pairs of red eyes stared unblinkingly at the prey surrounded by them, their eyes filled with bloodthirsty murderous glare and a strong desire for food.
However, after they surrounded a group of people, they kept approaching step by step, but stopped after reaching a certain range and no longer moved forward. Finally, they looked at Zhou Zhiguo and others with a ferocious look, staring at them with greedy eyes.
