Chapter 699 Dragon Lake Incident
Around noon, Pu Weichao woke up. After eating something, we set off for Longhu. Longhu was quite far from us. We originally planned to drive there, but since the roads in the city weren't as safe as those outside, Pu Weichao simply gave up on the car, packed his bags, and walked to Longhu.
"At our current speed, we should reach Longhu in about an hour," Pu Weichao said, looking ahead.
I said, "Really? That's good."
There's still an hour left, which isn't a long time, but it's not short either. Normally, an hour wouldn't be a problem, but the snow underfoot is so thick that every step is difficult. An hour to go is torture, but the thought of seeing Wushuang in just one hour makes me a little excited.
Pu Weichao walked ahead of me, and he didn't seem to be having any trouble at all; on the contrary, he looked quite excited.
I have no idea what he's so excited about. Walking in this weather is really a pain in the ass.
I followed behind him, stepping in his footprints. We had changed into high-top waterproof shoes before we set off. Although they were a bit heavy, at least our feet wouldn't get wet while walking. I remembered the last time I went back to Jiajiang with Hu Fei and Gu Yu, my feet were completely frozen.
This time, the waterproof shoes worked very well; my feet felt comfortable the whole time, and I didn't feel anything when walking on the snow.
Along the way, we encountered some zombies buried under the heavy snow. Sometimes these zombies would suddenly pop out of the snow and scare us. Other times they would stand right in front of us, unable to move, which was quite funny.
Aside from zombies, I didn't encounter any living people. In this kind of weather, I doubt anyone would want to come out.
Half an hour later, we could already see the low hill of Longhu in front of us.
The moment I saw the low hill, I breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to myself, "Finally almost there, I'm exhausted."
Pu Weichao heard what I said and said, "Hurry up, put in more effort, and get straight to Longhu."
"All right."
Looking at the low hills in front of me, also buried in heavy snow, I didn't know what to say. In short, they were quite beautiful.
I remember there are houses on the hill. Maybe we can go up the hill and stay for a few days to enjoy the scenery. That would be a pretty good option.
But that's all for later. Let's find Wu Shuang first and help Longhu unify Hangzhou.
The next half hour passed quickly. After seeing the low mountain, we were not far from Longhu Lake, but it still took us quite a while to walk there. Half an hour later, around 2 p.m., we arrived at the foot of the low mountain.
However, we still have to take a detour. Climbing the mountain is not practical, so it's more convenient to take a detour.
We went around to the west, and there was nothing there. After walking for about ten minutes, we saw several vehicles parked on the snow ahead.
There were still some people in the car.
When Pu Weichao saw them, he wanted to go over and greet them, but when I looked closely, I realized something was wrong. I quickly grabbed Pu Weichao, who was about to walk over, and hid in a corner.
Pu Weichao asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Aren't we here?"
I said, "That's strange."
Pu Weichao was taken aback and asked, "What's strange about it?"
I said, "When I was still at Longhu, I knew the direction and location of Longhu's defenses very well, but I have never seen Longhu station anyone here to keep watch."
Pu Weichao said, "Never seen him before? Could he be someone newly sent?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, I'm not sure."
Pu Weichao said, "If you're not sure, just go and ask. They're all from Longhu anyway."
I hesitated, unsure whether I should go.
Seeing my hesitation, Pu Weichao said, "You can't do it this way. Here's what we'll do: I'll go ask them, and you can lie in ambush from behind. If anything happens, I'll give you a signal."
Before I could object to his plan, he popped his head out and walked over, which left me helpless. I had no choice but to set up my gun behind him to support him.
Soon after, Pu Weichao was spotted by the people in the car. They ran out of the car and pointed a gun at Pu Weichao's head.
Pu Weichao raised his hands and said, "Hey, wait a minute, I'm just passing by and asking a question, don't be impulsive."
The other party didn't fire directly. I looked at the two people who got out of the car and realized that they were strangers; I had never seen them in Longhu before.
Could he be a newcomer?
"Where are you from?" the other person asked.
Pu Weichao said, "I came from out of town. I heard that Longhu seems pretty good, so I was thinking about whether I should join Longhu after I came here."
The other party sneered and said, "Sorry, we don't accept new people now."
When I heard them say that, I was stunned for a moment. They don't accept newcomers?
Something's not right, absolutely not right.
I put away my gun and started to walk around to the side. I stopped listening to Pu Weichao's conversation with them and went straight behind the two men, hitting each of them on the head. They were instantly knocked unconscious.
Pu Weichao wasn't surprised by this. He looked at me and said, "Did you hear what I just said?"
I shook my head and said, "No, I only listened to the beginning, I didn't listen to the rest."
Pu Weichao raised an eyebrow. "Okay, all I can tell you is that something happened at Longhu, and these two people aren't from Longhu."
My expression changed, and I ran straight towards Longhu.
Pu Weichao followed behind me. When I arrived at the entrance of Longhu, I found that the guards at the entrance had changed and were no longer the same people as before.
I asked, "What did those two say just now?"
Pu Weichao said, "They didn't say anything, but their attitude was strange. According to what you told me, the people from Longhu were all quite nice, but those two were a bit... you know. Anyway, I guess something happened at Longhu."
I said, "It looks like something really happened. I don't recognize any of the guards at the gate."
Pu Weichao said, "Let's go back, tie those two up and ask them a few questions, then we'll know."
"good."
I had no objection to Pu Weichao's suggestion. We went back to the car, dragged the two guys away, found a house nearby, and threw them inside.
Then Pu Weichao said, "Come on, help them take off their clothes!"
I was stunned when I heard this, and suddenly the scene in front of me felt strangely familiar, as if it had happened before. I didn't object, and together with Pu Weichao, we stripped the two men of all their clothes, leaving them only in their underwear.
