Chapter 619 The Car Broke Down
"Holy crap, this is a true master!"
The man watched Li Chunlai's retreating figure and murmured something.
No one expected that Chen Feng's follower would be so powerful. He looked like a lackey, but he was actually a formidable figure!
Only now did they understand what it meant for a strong general to have no bear soldiers by his side; they had truly underestimated him before.
Back in Chen Feng's tent, Li Chunlai couldn't stop chuckling to himself. He gave himself a perfect score for his impressive performance!
"How much did you win?" Chen Feng asked, crossing his legs.
"It adds up to over a thousand, plus an extra four hundred for tuition," Li Chunlai said, showing Chen Feng his remaining balance.
"Tuition fee? What's that?" Chen Feng asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Li Chunlai excitedly recounted what had just happened, making Chen Feng laugh heartily.
"They're really two idiots..." Chen Feng chuckled.
The pleasant day passed just like that. On the second day, Chen Feng got up, ate breakfast, and set off with Qi Minglin.
The personnel were the same: Chen Feng, Li Chunlai, Qi Minglin, Li Guanghao, and the driver.
"How will the development proceed this time?" the driver asked, gripping the steering wheel.
"Just like last time, drive in roughly this order." Chen Feng said, handing his phone to the driver; it was a map.
Although Chen Feng's real purpose was to wait for the skill to cool down again, since he had already released it, he still needed to prepare.
The driver took the phone, glanced at it, understood the route, handed the phone back to Chen Feng, and drove on.
After driving for a few hundred meters, Chen Feng gently patted his seat, and he stopped the car. Several people got out of the car.
Chen Feng looked around, then squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, and rubbed it between his fingers.
"So, have you found anything?" Qi Minglin asked.
Chen Feng put the soil under his nose and smelled it. He said seriously, "Did it rain here yesterday? This soil smells fishy and a little sticky."
Qi Minglin: "..."
No, bro, I asked you to analyze whether there are any rare earth elements in this area, not for you to come here to study meteorology.
Li Guanghao took the equipment and began to test the ground. To be honest, he also felt that there was little hope in this place.
After rare earth elements were detected, Li Guanghao took his equipment and explored the area every day. He felt that he had explored almost every possible place.
Now, if we come back and continue exploring, there's nothing we've missed; it's still the same old story.
"Is there anything unusual?" Qi Minglin casually asked Li Guanghao.
“No, everything is normal. I’ve explored this area before. Look at the marks on this tree; I cut them with a shovel.” Li Guanghao said, pointing to a tree.
"We've already cut them all down, so what's there to say? Let's move on to another spot!" Chen Feng waved his hand, and the group got into the car and continued driving forward.
After driving a few hundred meters further, Chen Feng patted the driver's seat, and the driver, understanding the gesture, stopped the car.
Chen Feng opened the car door, and as soon as he stepped down, before he could even stand up properly, he immediately pulled the door back.
"Damn it, there's a puddle down there! Drive a little further!"
"Haha, luckily I didn't get off the bus. I just changed into new shoes yesterday!" Qi Minglin stuck her head out of the window and chuckled.
"Puddle? I didn't see any here." The driver smiled awkwardly and drove a little further.
"Are there any puddles down there this time?" the driver asked.
"There aren't any this time." Chen Feng opened the car door, glanced inside, and then got out.
After getting out of the car, Li Guanghao looked around with his instrument, trying to recall whether he had been here before.
"It seems like I've never been here before, or maybe the scenery has changed a bit over time." Li Guanghao wasn't sure either, so he picked up his equipment and started looking for a place to test it.
Chen Feng lit a cigarette and, accompanied by Qi Minglin, strolled around the area.
After wandering around for a while, seeing that Li Guanghao was almost done, he said, "So, any results? If not, let's go. I don't feel anything for this place."
"Wait a minute, let me see..."
"Sigh, there's no reaction at all. Let's go." Li Guanghao looked at the instrument, shook his head and said.
The group got back into the car and started driving forward.
After driving for a few hundred meters, the car was swaying and bumping along when suddenly it jolted violently, and Chen Feng, sitting in the back seat, almost hit his head on the roof.
"I knocked, what's wrong?" Chen Feng asked, gripping his deputy's hand and glaring at him.
The driver didn't say anything, but instead added more gas. The car still wouldn't move, and he couldn't help but curse under his breath.
"Damn, it seems like I'm stuck. Let me see what's going on." The driver said and got out of the car, and the others followed.
Sure enough, as soon as I got out of the car, I saw that the two rear wheels of the car were stuck in the ditch and couldn't get out at all.
"No, isn't this car four-wheel drive? How come it can't get out?" Qi Minglin asked the driver, puzzled.
"Damn, what a coincidence! I noticed it when I came here yesterday. The four-wheel drive suspension suddenly stopped working."
"Then I figured I wouldn't go far, and repairing it would be too much trouble, so I'd just leave it like this for now and fix it before moving to another location."
"I never expected to get such a surprise right from the start today," the driver said, opening the trunk, taking out an entrenching tool, and looking utterly helpless.
"What a mess. Let's send someone to fix this car tomorrow, and then we can drive something else," Qi Minglin said, rubbing her forehead.
"That's the only way. I remember the terrain wasn't this complicated when I came here last time," the driver said, puzzled.
As he spoke, he took an entrenching tool and began filling the ditch with soil and stones. Chen Feng and the others, lacking tools, could only stand by and watch, unable to help.
After filling out the form for a while, the driver said, "Can someone go up and step on it to see if it can get out?"
Upon hearing this, Li Guanghao, who was nearby, immediately got into the driver's seat.
"I'll do it."
As he spoke, he stepped on the gas, and the car's rear wheels spun wildly, sending up mud and rocks that splashed all over everyone.
"Holy crap!"
"Wow!"
Seeing this, the others quickly moved aside, and Qi Minglin looked at the mud on her trouser legs with a face full of disgust.
"That old guy is really smart. He stepped on the gas without hurting himself," Qi Minglin laughed.
"Old people are sharp, old horses are slippery, there's some truth to that old saying," Chen Feng said, patting the dirt off his clothes.
Hearing their conversation, Li Guanghao, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but grin.
What can we do then? It's their fault for not coming. Besides, you can just stay away from them.
"Wait a minute, it's still not quite right, let me fill it in a bit more." After saying that, the driver continued to fill the ditch, pressing the soil down with the back of the shovel.
"Okay, try stepping on it again this time," the driver said, putting down the shovel.
This time, Li Guanghao exerted force again, and the car began to sway back and forth. Li Guanghao accelerated again, and the car shot forward.
