After driving for about 20 kilometers, suddenly deep pits appeared in the road ahead, about two meters deep.
Fortunately, the driver with only one ear noticed something was wrong from afar and stepped on the brakes in time.
With a screech, the car slid forward for a very long time before finally coming to a stop.
The man in the back of the car slammed his head against the window, wincing in pain, but gripping the guardrail tightly to prevent himself from being thrown out.
The car stopped, and the cars behind it all stopped as well. Lu Yuan knew that something was wrong.
Sure enough, before he even opened his car door, a group of people wearing silver-gray reflective vests appeared around him from nowhere.
They were all wearing oxygen masks and holding rifles, and fired several shots in succession towards the vehicle.
Gunshots rang out continuously.
The bullet hit their car window, and everyone was too frightened to move.
Lu Yuan knew that if he resisted at this moment, he would definitely be shot.
He sat quietly in the car and then raised his hands, a very safe action.
Then a man came up to the car window. He was wearing a black oxygen mask, only his eyes were visible, and he looked like a giant skeleton. He was holding a gun and then glanced at the car.
"get off."
Lu Yuan didn't hesitate. He opened the car door with one hand and carefully got out of the car.
Like Lu Yuan, the driver got out of the car from the side door.
As soon as the two got out of the car, a group of people rushed over to them.
"Take it back!"
So everyone on the bus was immediately brought back.
All fifteen people were neatly packed together and forced into an underground cave.
These people lived in underground caves, and Lu Yuan finally understood why this place looked strange.
The reason was that there was nothing on the ground here except for some mounds of earth.
The people of Black Stone Beach live in these deep pits below ground level.
This was his first time visiting this place, so he was very unfamiliar with it.
With his hands tied behind his back, Lu Yuan and the others were led to a room inside the cave.
With a click, the lights in the room were turned on.
Lu Yuan immediately felt that his breathing was much more comfortable. They had been holding their breath in the bunker the whole way, and several team members had fainted due to lack of oxygen. Now that they were in the room, they felt much better.
She saw the man take off his mask, revealing his face.
The other person looked to be in their early twenties. There was a cut on their face, making it look like their face had been split in two.
"May I have your name?"
Lu Yuan turned his head and looked in his pocket: "My ID is in there, you can take a look."
The other party wasn't angry when Lu Yuan didn't cooperate; they simply reached into Lu Yuan's pocket and took out his identification documents.
After glancing at the documents, a look of shock appeared in the other person's eyes.
He checked the contents of the document again before speaking.
"You're Lin Hao? How come you're hanging out with these businessmen? Aren't you the boss of the entrance/exit over there?"
Lu Yuan simply smiled and said, "I had some things I wanted to do at the factory, so I came with them. What? Is there a problem?"
The other person smiled helplessly, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and tossed one to Lu Yuan.
The atmosphere immediately eased, and the other person lit a cigarette and then very respectfully untied the ropes binding Lu Yuan's hands.
"You should have said so earlier! Hey, we're practically family now. Actually, we've always wanted to join your group, but now the Three No-Man's Land area has been officially unified."
We people from Black Stone Beach have always wanted a stable place to settle down, but that no-man's-land is just too chaotic. The reason we haven't joined is because the people from the Knife Gang are too ruthless.
Who knew you'd kill Razor? We were thinking of joining your side, but before we could even go, you showed up first!
Upon hearing his words, Lu Yuan burst into laughter.
So he lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and then spoke.
"Hey, it's okay. Since you all know each other, let's say hello. But let me make this clear first: there are new rules in the no-man's-land. If you're going there, you have to abide by them."
Although I don't govern or hold power there, I don't want anyone to disrupt the order there. Humanity has finally established its own sphere of influence; you'd better make sure your subordinates behave themselves and only focus on external threats, understand?
The other party nodded immediately.
"Of course, that would be great. With your letter of introduction, we won't have to submit all sorts of messy documents anymore."
Don't worry, we firmly support Earthlings and would never be their lackeys, even though some of our people may be half-Earthlings.
It's all out of necessity. You should know how everyone is doing; we're barely making ends meet, so how can we care about anything else?
Lu Yuan understood that there should be quite a few Earthlings on the other side.
Since the Blue Star people took over the management of Earth, there has been a famine everywhere. People have no food, camps have been occupied, and in order to survive, they have no choice but to seek refuge with the Blue Star people for food.
Lu Yuan doesn't blame them; he can only blame society and these Earthlings. One day, Lu Yuan will realize that these Earthlings will definitely be driven off Earth.
After all, they were outsiders, and Lu Yuan firmly believed that Earthlings could organize an effective resistance.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, all of their men were released.
After being released, the team members all wore expressions of joy, as if they had survived a disaster.
They received some very unpalatable food and cigarettes, and chatted casually with the others.
It seems that this calamity was resolved so easily, as if the other party was only considering Lu Yuan's feelings.
After exchanging pleasantries with Lu Yuan, the other party learned that Lu Yuan was going to deliver goods, so he immediately ordered his men to call and report the license plate numbers, appearance, and number of people in Lu Yong's convoy.
Lu Yuan and his group continued driving ahead. The starlight was bright at night, and the huge moon overhead looked even more comforting.
