Chapter 251 Dangerous Road Section
What is your biggest worry when driving out on a mountain road that is rarely traveled?
Of course it was a robbery on the way!
It would be good if the robbers only robbed the goods. But the worst thing is that they not only break into the carriages and take the goods, but also try to steal money and kill people. They want the goods, the carriage, and even the life.
Especially since there was a beautiful woman in the car, the danger was doubly high.
Lu Yunchen naturally had such concerns as he did not allow Huang Xinran to show up.
When they set out, the trucks were fully fueled. But if the water tanks were empty, it would be fatal. They had been here before and were familiar with the surroundings, but they had to stop and refill water despite the danger.
Fortunately, everything went well.
After everyone had added water, the convoy set off again.
However, the driver was replaced by Lu Yunchen.
Huang Xinran didn't know that Lu Yunchen could actually drive a truck. Judging from his familiar movements, he was definitely not a novice driver who had just started driving in the past day or two. She was surprised, but she couldn't help but secretly be alert. How many things did Lu Yunchen hide from her?
Huang Xinran was full of sleep, so she gave up the berth in the back to Wang Hongjun to rest, and she went to the co-pilot's cabin, eating while watching the surroundings. Of course, she also did not forget to feed Lu Yunchen.
Lu Yunchen just glanced at her and accepted all the food she fed him.
In the second half of the night, Huang Xinran fell asleep again somehow.
She seemed to hear some movement, but she couldn't open her eyes. She crawled to the bunk bed at the back and went back to sleep. When she woke up again, she found herself still lying on the bunk bed, and there seemed to be another person beside her.
She woke up at once!
When I looked closely, it turned out to be Lu Yunchen.
The tense nerves relaxed again.
Only then did she realize that Lu Yunchen was curled up at the other end, sleeping soundly. But his long arms and legs were so long that there was almost no place to put them, and she felt sorry for him.
Huang Xinran quickly got up, crawled to the passenger seat, sat down, and fastened his seat belt.
"Why didn't he wake me up?"
She said to Zhang Li who was driving.
Zhang Li laughed cheerfully: "Sister-in-law, it was Brother Chen who told you not to wake up and let you sleep a little longer."
"Okay... where are we now? Are we out of Q City?"
"It won't be that fast. We should be ready in two more hours. Don't worry, sister-in-law. We are all experienced drivers who are used to this road. We won't go the wrong way."
"That's good."
Huang Xinran didn't mean that originally, but since Zhang Li said so, she didn't refute him.
Zhang Li hadn't said anything else. Even an experienced driver like him felt guilty driving on this road. Fortunately, the number of vehicles in their fleet increased from three at the beginning to five later and now to eight. As long as they didn't encounter a particularly large group of carjackers, they should be able to handle it.
But many times, people just can’t establish that thing.
They left Q City smoothly and continued along the national highway. However, this national highway was actually just a two-lane highway, and it was a cliff-hanging road halfway up the mountain.
This kind of road is almost a road that was dug out of a steep mountain by human labor, and it is an S-shaped route. This kind of road is also the favorite place for car-stealing gangs, and it is also the most feared and timid place for countless veteran drivers who drive long distances.
Originally, before passing this section of road, everyone had discussed when they stopped to refuel ahead whether they should wait and pass this dangerous section during the day.
But in the end, everyone chose to go ahead at night.
After all, for the experienced drivers, the vision during the day is much better, but the daytime also provides a good vision for the car-stealing gangs. Once they surround the trucks, they can force them to stop with their numbers. The remaining trucks stuck behind can only wait to be harvested by the other party.
"Just go there at night! Although night is dangerous, it is relatively safer."
"We are a large group of people. The cargo on the truck is almost everyone's savings. If it is lost, all our hard work over the years will be ruined. We can't make any mistakes."
"Remember! No matter what happens, we just keep driving forward and never stop. We absolutely cannot stop. Do you understand?"
…
After giving instructions to everyone, we got in the car and set off again.
According to the method agreed before, we started climbing the mountain.
If it weren't for the fact that the roar of the truck could not be covered up, they would have wanted to not even turn on the headlights.
So, with everyone anxiously waiting, the truck finally climbed up the dangerous and accident-prone section of road that terrified countless people.
Huang Xinran also widened his eyes, not daring to breathe, his heart hanging in the air.
This notorious winding mountain road has destroyed countless people's dreams and caused the destruction of countless families.
It's not that the higher-ups didn't try to crack down on them, but unfortunately, these car-stealing gangs were mostly idle people with high mobility. They organized themselves to steal cars and sold the stolen goods. By the time the higher-ups got the news and came to arrest them, they had already broken up and scattered to nearby villages, disappearing without a trace.
I wanted to continue following them in the village, but seeing these people living in the mountains, none of them even had clothes to cover their bodies, I couldn't bear it.
In addition, unless under special circumstances, these car-stealing gangs will not cause any loss of life.
The most important thing is that most of these truck drivers who suffered losses did not choose to report the loss of their cargo.
Without victims, there will naturally be fewer police calls.
The less police response, the more arrogant these car-stealing gangs become.
The more arrogant they are, the more terrified the truck drivers passing by are, but they can only bite the bullet and pass through the checkpoint.
Just like this time!
They knew there was danger ahead, but they still took the chance.
What if they are not stopped by anyone?
Isn't that making a fortune?
Unfortunately, the goddess of luck does not seem to be on their side.
When the car in front was about to reach the top of the slope and the last truck was halfway up the mountain, torches suddenly lit up in front.
You can even hear faint shouts coming from all directions.
That was the sound of the carjackers calling their companions.
"Oh no! Something happened! Those people are coming."
The car leading the charge was the one with Zhang Li and the three cowboys in the front, while the car with Wang Hongjun and Lu Yunchen followed closely behind. Huang Xinran also happened to be in this car.
The number of people on the car-stealing gang seemed to be increasing rapidly, as could be seen from the torches that were gradually lighting up around them.
Everyone in the car panicked.
Even experienced drivers like Zhang Li and Wang Hongjun were no exception. Even in the cold winter, beads of sweat rolled down their faces.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
