Chapter 69 There is something wrong with this woman!
"Cousin, didn't you say there was no one here?"
Looking at the seven or eight off-road vehicles blocking both lanes in front, Xu Ge looked at Thor and asked.
The words "National Highway 216" were written on the milestone on the side of the road. There looked to be a convoy in front, with a group of men and women standing on the side of the road, some taking pictures and some chatting.
Seeing a car coming from behind, all the people looked over, and some of them were still talking about something.
"Cousin, you are a socially anxious person, so talk less when you meet people." Thor reminded him.
"Yeah, I know!"
Xu Ge observed the convoy in front for a while and found that there were slogans printed on the rear windshields of several cars, such as "If there is a war, we will return if called" and "The color will not fade after discharge."
"Cousin, these people are all retired soldiers, right?"
"Never mind them, ignore them." Lei Shen said calmly, "Next time you see someone with slogans like this on their car, stay away from them if you can."
Xu Ge was a little confused: "Why, cousin?"
In his opinion, since they had all served in the army before, they were at least comrades-in-arms. Wasn't it normal for them to help each other when they were away from home?
Lei Shen looked at Xu Ge's still childish face, thought for a moment and then explained: "Cousin, what kind of good person do you think would advertise his former military status after retiring?"
Xu Ge was stunned by this question. He originally wanted to say that these people wanted to commemorate their military career, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.
"There are only two types of people like this. One is those who want to use their military status to achieve certain goals, and the other is those who have nothing else to offer except their former status."
Thor said with disdain, "Look at these people. The lead car broke down and no one came to help. They all just stood there doing nothing."
"Cousin, are we just going to wait here? Do you want to urge them?" Xu Ge asked.
Thor shook his head: "Wait a moment, if that doesn't work, go around it from the side."
Xu Ge was a little puzzled: "Didn't you say that Lao Lian and the others had lost contact? Why don't you seem very anxious?"
"Their three vital signs are still there. Besides, I'm not worried about Lao Lian at all..."
Just then, a few people came over.
Boom boom boom!
A burly man came to the car door and knocked on the window glass.
Thor sat still.
Boom boom boom!
The other party knocked a few more times. Thor frowned and lowered the glass to look at the other party.
The burly man didn't say anything at first, but instead looked inside the car. When he confirmed that there were only two people in the car, he asked, "Are you also traveling through Qiangtang?"
Thor didn't say anything, his expression a little impatient.
The sturdy man was a little unhappy with Thor's reaction: "Dude, we are all veterans. The car in front is stuck in the mud. Your car has more horsepower. Can you help us pull it out?"
"No." Thor simply refused.
The burly man narrowed his eyes. "Dude, since we met in no-man's land, it's fate. There's no need to be so unkind, right? You guys can't get through if you keep blocking the way, right?"
"It's just a small off-road vehicle. Aren't you all veterans? Can't you just go over and push it out together?" Thor said lightly.
"So you don't plan to help? Fine, then don't even think about leaving. Just wait here!"
The burly man sneered and waved his hand forward, "Brothers, block the road!"
Buzz buzz buzz!
Several cars started up and turned their bodies sideways, and the gap of about one meter on the roadside was immediately completely blocked.
Xu Ge frowned as he watched all this, and understood a little bit of what Thor had just said.
The burly man just now seemed to be seeking help, but his words and deeds were all threatening Thor by taking advantage of the no-man's land environment.
"handsome guy!"
A long-haired woman in tight sweatpants came over and leaned against the car window, saying in a coquettish voice, "Brother, you're so handsome! Your hairstyle is so cool! Can you help us..."
"Go on!"
Thor lost his patience, stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel and turned right off the roadbed, the wheels creaking as they pressed against the gravel beside the roadbed.
Just as the car was about to bypass the convoy and return to the road from the front, Xu Ge saw the burly man suddenly say something to the driver of another car. The next moment, the jeep suddenly rushed out of the road and blocked the position where the Prado was about to take off.
"Cousin, be careful ahead..."
Buzz! Boom!!!
Before Xu Ge could finish his words, Thor slammed the accelerator and the car crashed into it.
With a huge crash, the Prado rushed onto the road, and the jeep was knocked to the ground without any preparation.
Thor didn't even bother to look, he just turned the steering wheel and drove away.
. . .
. . .
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still high in the sky.
Xu Ge felt that the altitude was getting higher and higher, and breathing was becoming a little difficult.
Fortunately, his physical fitness has improved a lot during the time he has been in the army, so he didn't feel too much discomfort.
The scenery on both sides of the road became more and more magnificent, and the colors in front of me became gradually richer.
The endless snow-capped mountains in the distance, the clouds that seemed within reach above his head, the flat grasslands, and the various animals drinking water by the blue lakes one after another made Xu Ge feel as if he had arrived in a fairyland on earth.
But Thor spoke less and less, and looked at both sides of the road more and more frequently.
After crossing a pass, Lei Shen drove the car off the road, turned right into a flat grassland, and exchanged places with Xu Ge.
"Keep driving at 40 miles per hour and stop next to the lake." Thor said, pointing to the blue lake in the valley in the distance.
The car began to drive at a constant speed towards the destination, and Thor was looking outside intently in the passenger seat.
Xu Ge didn't know what Thor was looking at. The terrain around here was open and he could see several kilometers or even more than ten kilometers at a glance. In any case, he didn't see anything.
"Go to two o'clock!"
Twenty minutes later, when the car was about to reach the lake, Lei Shen suddenly said something. Seeing that Xu Ge had not reacted yet, he pointed to the front right.
"Pull the car behind that mound of dirt. Okay, stop!"
Thor got down from the passenger seat and said, "Get out of the car and put on the bag in the back."
Xu Ge picked up his backpack from the back row and followed Thor to the lake.
"Do you smell anything?" Thor asked as he walked.
Xu Ge sniffed carefully, but he didn't know if it was because of the high altitude that caused his nasal cavity to malfunction, he could smell nothing but cold air.
"What does it smell like, cousin?"
"The smell of rotting corpses and diesel!"
Lei Shen reached out and took out a telescope from the side of his backpack. "Old Face's last location was around here."
"Then let's start looking from here..."
"hidden!"
Suddenly, the Thunder God pushed Xu Ge to the ground and said, "There's someone by the lake!"
Xu Ge was shocked again and again. First, he was surprised that they really met someone, and second, he was shocked by Thor's observation skills.
He had been looking towards the lake, but found nothing.
Lei Shen gestured for Xu Ge to put his backpack down, and led him to crawl behind a rock nearby. He handed him the telescope and said, "Slowly stretch your head and look down, towards eleven o'clock."
Xu Ge did as he was told, and sure enough, he saw through the telescope an off-road vehicle parked by the lake a few dozen meters away. The people in the vehicle were taking pictures with their cameras by the lake.
"What did you see?"
"Cousin, I saw a Land Cruiser with three men and one woman taking pictures."
"What else?"
"That woman seems to have injured her leg and is using a crutch!"
Thor also looked down: "Which leg is injured?"
Xu Ge: "Right leg."
"Where's the cane?"
“It’s on the right too!”
Thor: "She is pretending, there is something wrong with this woman!"
