Chapter 423 Meeting Companions
The two cars drove one in front and one behind, keeping a distance of fifty meters between them, and continued driving towards the north road.
The roads are still old and dilapidated. Many of them are covered with grass or shrubs, making it easy to see whether any vehicles have passed by before.
"A car has already passed by." Ye Li analyzed: "We haven't seen any trace of Lin Jia along the way. Maybe they have already gotten ahead of us."
Wu Xuan deliberately slowed down to observe the tracks on the ground. He concluded, "The tracks are quite deep, and the distance between the two wheels is also a bit wide. It must be a truck that passed by."
"That's great." Wei Lai said, "Let's catch up quickly. I really want to eat something delicious, preferably with vegetables."
Everyone was amused by the foodie Wei Lai.
"Then fasten your seat belts." After everyone fastened their seat belts, Wu Xuan suddenly stepped on the accelerator and drove forward. The car behind him also quickly followed.
After driving forward for about half an hour and just climbing a very high slope, Ye Li and his companions saw that their truck was blocked by a large group of refugees. Those refugees were besieging the people in the truck, but the truck door was tightly closed and could not be opened at all. The container storing resources at the back was also locked, and the container could not be opened at all without a lock.
So the refugees split into two groups, one attacked the driver's seat, and the other smashed the lock of the container with stones.
Wu Xuan used the walkie-talkie to inform the car behind him of the situation in front, and then drove over. At this moment, the people of the holy city must unite in order to survive in such a harsh environment.
Wu Xuan parked the car a hundred meters away from the truck. He and Wei Lai picked up their guns, asked Ye Li to climb into the driver's seat to drive, and then got out of the car to confront the refugees.
Three of the four people in the rear car also got out, holding guns and running forward.
Bang bang...
Gunshots rang out, and the refugees who were smashing the locks of the containers scattered, but they did not run far away. They just hid in the woods nearby, waiting for an opportunity to steal more food.
After driving away the refugees surrounding the container, Wu Xuan and his companions moved forward together to disperse the refugees surrounding the driver's seat. Although the refugees were starving, they tried to grab food at all costs, but in the face of death, they still chose to retreat.
The refugees retreated and hid in the woods nearby.
"Are you okay?" Wu Xuan shouted loudly.
The truck window was rolled down a bit, and the person sitting in the passenger seat was none other than Uncle Da from Ye Li's team. He loudly replied, "It's okay, they can't get in."
"Keep going forward." Wu Xuan gestured forward and said loudly, "Drive faster and don't stop."
"Okay." Uncle Da conveyed the message to the driver.
Wu Xuan continued, "We're using the digital mode of the walkie-talkie. The radio is useless."
Uncle Da nodded in understanding.
The truck started moving, speeding up from slow to fast. Now the refugees didn't dare to stand in the middle of the road anymore. If the truck couldn't stop, it would just run over their flesh and blood.
After the truck drove away, Wu Xuan and his friends hurriedly got into the car. Nothing unexpected happened. Ye Li moved from the driver's seat to the back seat. Wu Xuan started the car and drove away quickly after the truck.
They continued on their journey without stopping and finally arrived at a small field area with a wide field view. If any enemy approached, they would be able to see it at a glance. Ye Li and the others turned off the engine and got out of the car to cook and eat.
