When Lu Yuan and Qiao Lin returned to shore, they saw piles of goods laid out on the beach, and then they saw pairs of soldiers in black uniforms neatly loading the goods onto trucks in the distance.
"Where did these people come from? I've never seen them before."
Qiao Lin shook the water out of his shoes, looking a little tired, and then took out a cigarette from his waterproof pocket and said, "These people are from the North and they're very skilled. You can tell from their movements that they're professional robbers. Let's not get angry with them; we're no match for them."
Lu Yuan had no intention of becoming their opponent. The people he was targeting weren't very strong to begin with, and if they fought against them and someone was injured or killed, no one could bear the responsibility.
Finally, Lu Yuan looked at these people's skilled movements, which seemed even more impressive than those of Qiao Lin and his group, and suddenly felt a little curious about how they were trained.
Then the people on the shore began to transport the containers ashore one by one.
The lights came on nearby, and officers wearing hats patrolled the area, instructing their men to act quickly.
Qiao Lin held a list in his hand, glanced at it, and immediately smiled.
"We didn't expect to have such a big haul this time. With just over three hundred containers, it'll be enough for us to use up when we get back."
Lu Yuan glanced at the list casually and saw various lists of supplies written on it.
There was ore, some refining equipment and small processing equipment, as well as replacement parts, grain, and a large amount of food and living supplies.
The group connected the containers one by one and then welded wheel hubs underneath.
This way, the container can be taken away. Although its sturdiness may be questionable, it saves them space.
It's very convenient to just have one vehicle leading the way.
After working for several hours, everyone finally got everything done.
Lu Yuan glanced around and was still somewhat shocked, wondering how Qiao Lin and the others had been killed by these mysterious Northerners.
So when he arrived at the place where these people were hiding, he searched carefully, but still found no clues.
Everyone felt it was very mysterious. These people came without a trace, appearing directly behind them like ghosts. Before anyone could react, everyone was arrested. It was that simple. Lu Yuan asked many people and they all had the same reaction.
He couldn't help but glance at the resistance troops from the north.
These people were all focused on their work, their eyes fixed straight ahead, as if work was the only thing in their eyes.
After watching for a while, Lu Yuan still couldn't figure it out. Just as he was about to leave, a burst of lights suddenly appeared in the distance, and then more and more vehicles drove over.
Lu Yuan glanced into the distance and was immediately shocked.
"Good heavens, so many vehicles? So many vehicles coming directly from the Northern Territory, passing through the Blue Star people's territory, how did they get here? Won't they be discovered? Or did they just take out all the outposts along the way?"
The assistant beside him also looked bewildered; there were at least several hundred vehicles in the distance.
How did such a large convoy manage to cross from the Northern Border, passing through dozens of Earthling settlements along the way? This greatly shocked Lu Yuan.
Just then, a ship drifted over from the sea, and several huge cranes stood up and lifted the submarine out of the water. They even wanted to take the submarine with them.
Lu Yuan found the way these people were taking advantage of him rather than help him laugh.
These people are incredibly generous; everything is a treasure in their eyes, and they take it all back with them.
At this moment, the Northern officer who had been standing outside the submarine earlier, urging Lu Yuan and the others to surrender, disembarked from the ship.
Seeing the bewildered looks on Lu Yuan and the others' faces, he couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"What? Are you surprised?"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly.
"It's quite unexpected. It seems you do this kind of thing all the time. Are you so adept at robbing your own people as well as the people of Earth?"
The other person glanced at the cigarettes in Lu Yuan's pocket, then took one out for himself, lit it, took a light puff, felt very comfortable, and then put the cigarette in his pocket.
"Hmm, the cigarettes are nice, I'll take them. By the way, about the question you asked earlier about the difference between robbing Earthlings and robbing our own people, let me tell you now, there's no difference. It's just that we won't kill our own people, but we won't leave any Earthlings alive!"
After saying that, the other party turned around and left with his men.
At this moment, the assistant beside him suddenly whispered to Lu Yuan.
"Boss Lin, I heard that quite a few Earthlings have arrived on the shore. Apparently, the ground troops that came to meet them were all wiped out by them!"
"What? The entire ground force was wiped out by these people? Just how many Earthlings came to reinforce us?"
"I heard it's a legion of about two thousand men?"
After hearing this, Lu Yuan gasped in shock: "What? Two thousand people? That many?"
"Yes, I was shocked too. They brought over two thousand people just like that! And these people from the North were ruthless; they wiped out every single one of them. It's truly astonishing!"
After listening, Lu Yuan shook his head and made a clicking sound of admiration.
They thought that these northern peoples were so fierce that they could attack the Blue Star army without hesitation and win directly. They were practically a group of war gods.
Lu Yuan was even more curious about them, but despite his curiosity, they still had their own work to do.
So he returned to his post and began directing people to inspect and load the vehicles one by one.
Almost all the containers salvaged from the sea were transported ashore, had wheels welded onto them, and then taken away.
Like trains, each locomotive carries all of these things away.
Along the way, more than 300 containers were transported to their underground city, and Lu Yuan felt that this was truly a great harvest.
Upon arriving at the underground city, the gate opened, and countless people immediately surged in.
They cheered and carried the containers into the city.
Lu Yuan was also very excited. Hearing the cheers from the crowd, his blood was boiling.
"Now we can finally enjoy some peace and quiet!"
Lu Yuan sighed and lit a cigarette.
Seeing everyone cheering, I couldn't help but think of Xiaoshan and the others.
