Chapter 773 Xu Le's Changes
The two map delivery guys left quickly. I was worried about not having a map, but they delivered one right away. I can't believe they did that. Wow, impressive!
The map was hand-drawn and not very detailed, but the specific routes were drawn. I compared it with my current location and immediately understood where I was.
Looking at the map, if I continue down this path, I'll basically be going off-map.
Following the map, I turned at the next intersection and continued walking.
After about a two-hour drive, I arrived near the dam. This place was completely far from any town, and the surrounding area was basically a desolate wilderness. I didn't know where I was. I was following the directions on the map exactly. The forest ahead was very dense, and there was a wire fence blocking the road in the middle, clearly preventing me from passing.
Moreover, there were people guarding behind the iron fence. Although the dam could not be seen yet, this should be where the dam was located.
I'm a bit conflicted. My trip to the dam was entirely impulsive; I hadn't considered what I was going to do there. Was I supposed to just barge in and talk to them? That's ridiculous. Putting aside the changes inside the dam, which has just changed hands, the people inside are probably still hostile towards everyone. If I suddenly appeared, I might get caught and killed on the spot.
Let's observe from the outside and see who's inside the dam. The road I'm on right now is definitely not the only one leading out from the dam. I drove around the area twice and found three roads, and there were guards at the entrances of almost every road. It's impossible to just go in casually.
Moreover, the area is surrounded by iron railings, and there are always people patrolling around the railings.
I didn't do anything foolish and rushed in. I moved away from the dam area, hid the car in the woods, and found a safe place to rest. I also observed the situation within the dam area. I still couldn't see the dam from where I was. I guess I would have to walk a long way to see it after I went in. I wonder what it looks like inside. I imagine it must be spectacular.
It was almost 2 p.m. when I looked inside with my binoculars and suddenly spotted a car driving out from deep within the dam. Not long after, the car emerged from the middle of the dam and headed towards the other side.
I hurriedly ran to my car, started the engine, and followed them. I didn't dare go too far, just slowly followed behind to avoid being spotted. Following them in broad daylight was actually a bit risky; after following them for a while, I felt they had already noticed me. But there was nothing I could do; I had already followed them all this way.
Not long after, I saw them enter the city. I hesitated for a moment, but then followed them in.
But not long after I went in, I sensed something was wrong because their car had stopped ahead, and I saw the people in the car get out, and they were carrying weapons. What surprised me was that Xu Le got out of the car; his face was hostile, and he was holding a samurai sword.
That's not the point!
Wasn't the dam supposed to have been taken care of by another force? Why is Xu Le still showing up? Shouldn't he have been killed already? Could it be that he surrendered? That's possible. Given Xu Le's abilities, he certainly wouldn't let himself die. Even surrendering to survive is an option, better than dying.
Since Xu Le is still alive, I don't need to hide anymore, since he knows me anyway.
I didn't care and got out of the car. At that moment, I heard a commotion behind me. Another car appeared, and a lot of people got out and came straight towards me.
I was stunned for a moment. What the hell was going on? Did Xu Le and the others call for reinforcements after they discovered I was following them? Wouldn't I be walking into the lion's den?
I looked at Xu Le, who had already drawn his katana and walked over with an unfriendly expression.
I called out decisively, "Xu Le!"
Xu Le's face froze for a moment, his expression seemingly full of doubt, but without any hesitation, he rushed forward, placed the Bushido sword in his hand against my neck without saying a word, and asked, "Who are you, and why are you following me?"
I was taken aback. What was going on? What did Xu Le mean by acting like that? Did he not recognize me? Or was he pretending not to know me?
I was taken aback for a moment. "Um, I was just passing by and followed out of curiosity."
I have a feeling that something's off about Xu Le in front of me. His eyes don't have that playful look they used to have, and he seems to be a complete stranger to me, as if he doesn't recognize me at all. I don't understand why he's acting like this. Is there really something wrong with him? Or is this guy deliberately trying to kill me?
Xu Le frowned and said, "Don't give me any nonsense. I don't believe you're just passing by. Tell me, who are you? What is your purpose in following us? Why do you know me? I don't remember us ever meeting."
I felt a bit helpless. I wanted to explain but didn't know how. The Xu Le in front of me was really strange. If it were him before, he definitely wouldn't have been so threatening or serious when he saw me. Besides, the Xu Le of the past had never used a samurai sword.
I said helplessly, "Okay, I wanted to go to the dam before, but I saw people blocking the way outside so I didn't go in. I waited outside, thinking that the people inside would come out, and then I saw you and followed me. I really didn't mean any harm. I just wanted to find a place to stay."
The people next to Xu Le searched my body and took all the guns off me. I didn't bring much with me on this trip. I brought a lot of food, and I only brought enough guns for myself, so they didn't find much.
Xu Le said to the person next to him, "Zhu Xiaobing, take him back and keep an eye on him. I'll meet with him again when I get back."
"Alright." The long-legged beauty next to Xu Le laughed and decisively twisted my hand. I immediately lost the strength to resist and was subdued by her.
She said to me, "Be good, okay? Don't try to resist, or I won't go easy on you."
"Wang Lin, you go back with them. The rest of you, come with me." Xu Le gave the order, and a burly man got into my car, then we drove off.
I'm a bit exasperated about this. What the hell is this all about?
