Chapter 620: The Great Tang Dynasty. Traffic Jam
When Gu Ye and Lao Chu came back, an hour had passed. In fact, they had not walked far when they ran into a talkative elder brother who had just returned from the front and was sweating profusely and telling the people next to him what had happened in the front.
The two of them listened for more than twenty minutes, occasionally asking a few questions.
After they came back, they got into the car and each drank a bottle of mineral water.
"My daughter, you can't leave for a while." Old Chu wiped his mouth, looking worried.
"Sheng Tang has set up a checkpoint at the entrance to Anshi City. Every vehicle must be carefully checked, especially those with large boxes," Gu Ye added.
"Has this happened before?" Chu An asked
Gu Ye shook his head, "It didn't happen before, it started a week ago, we have to check it out until tomorrow morning."
Chu An frowned. It was still 80 kilometers from Anshi to Shengtang Base. They were stuck here before they even reached Anshi. They probably wouldn't be able to reach Shengtang Base today.
"Why?"
Lao Chu, "That big brother asked, but was shot back. But from what others said, it seems that something important was lost in the city."
“Some people also said that the wealthy businessman was robbed and lost his child.”
Chu An remembered that in his previous life, there were many evil cults and cannibal villages around Sheng Tang, which often robbed passers-by and sometimes attacked Sheng Tang's scavenging teams. An industrial chain that relied on Sheng Tang for survival had been formed.
Lao Chu died in a cannibal village near Sheng Tang, which is why she had to come here. She must massacre the entire village in this life.
Chu An looked at the time, 12:20, and it was time for lunch.
It’s not convenient to do it herself here, so she took out ten meat buns and four kinds of pickled vegetables from the space.
The back seat of the Hummer is quite spacious and can accommodate a small round table. Chu An and Gu Ye can lower the chairs a little bit and it won't affect their meal at all.
Old Chu took out two bottles of carbonated drinks from the car's small refrigerator, handed one to Gu Ye, and as usual, went outside to get Chu An some mineral water at room temperature.
"Do you still have the chili sauce that Xiao Ye fried for his birthday a few days ago?" Lao Chu asked after taking a bite of the meat bun.
Chu An probed with his mind, "Yes."
A bowl of brightly colored chili sauce appeared out of nowhere on the table, and Gu Ye and Lao Chu were already treating it as normal.
"Give me another scallion." said Lao Chu.
Chu An not only took out some green onions, but also some dried tofu and coriander.
"You're my daughter after all. You know my dad likes this." Old Chu immediately rolled a scallion with dried tofu, added half a spoonful of chili sauce and two sprigs of coriander.
After taking a bite, Gu Ye became greedy and rolled it up as well.
Chu An picked up the meat bun, took a bite, and still felt that the meat bun was fragrant.
Bang, bang, bang——
Suddenly, someone outside knocked hard on the car window, and then a big face came up, facing the glass on Gu Ye's side.
Gu Ye turned around and naturally blocked it with his body. Although the car was covered with a privacy film, it couldn't withstand such a close look. Lao Chu covered the dining table with the tablecloth that he had prepared long ago. Chu An took the table back into the space and placed a bag of whole grain buns under the tablecloth.
The three people cooperated very well and the whole process took only three seconds.
Gu Ye lowered the car window a crack, and the man who was trying to climb out of the window immediately backed away. There was another man behind him, who looked to be around 30 years old, with an ordinary appearance, and the two of them stood side by side.
"Is there anything wrong?" Gu Ye asked coldly.
The man who was picking up the car window smiled hastily, "Little brother, don't be angry, we have no ill intentions."
As he spoke, he leaned into the car and looked inside. "I just want to ask if you know what's going on in front of you and why you haven't moved. Our car is behind, and no one knows after asking all the way here."
As he said this, he pointed backwards.
Chu An looked back and saw that many people had gotten off the bus, but they were all on the west side of the shadow. Even in the middle of the day, the crowd was very small. Some people were looking around, while others were walking forward.
"There are people from Sheng Tang doing triage and inspection in front, and they release one batch at a time after checking." Gu Ye replied.
The man was very grateful, "Thank you very much."
As they were talking, the convoy in front actually moved. Gu Ye immediately closed the car window, and the two men walked back happily.
"Fuck, it smells like meat buns, can you smell it?" The smiling man's smile disappeared, and instead his face looked greedy.
"Don't cause trouble. There are a lot of people here and it's close to Sheng Tang. Be careful of being disqualified from staying here." Another person finally spoke.
"Got it, big brother." He looked back at the Hummer and muttered, "Fuck, such a good car is wasted."
......
Chu An followed the car in front and moved forward. Although most of the time he was moving at 10-20 miles per hour, it was better to move than not to move at all.
Suddenly, a car passed through the rubble pile nearby, and the chassis made a clanking sound. A few cars wanted to follow suit, but their chassis were too low. Some people didn't believe it, and then their fuel tanks were punctured.
Chu An frowned. Although she also hated cutting in line, her Hummer seemed to be fine if no one cared.
As she was thinking this, there was suddenly a cheer coming from the front. It should be quite far away from them and she couldn't see what was happening at all, but her intuition told her that those who cut in line would not have a good ending.
She suppressed her thoughts. Since Sheng Tang wanted to investigate, she couldn't just turn a blind eye. After about a kilometer, the convoy stopped again. Chu An looked at her watch. An hour had passed.
At one kilometer per hour, they would have to travel at this rate to reach Anshi in the late night, which was too tiring.
She first took out the unfinished food on the table and let the two continue eating. She took out her mobile phone and checked the offline map to see if there were other ways. She unexpectedly found the village where Lao Chu was killed before. It was 40 kilometers northeast of here, which is more than an hour's journey.
What should I do? My palms are a little itchy.
That village was very hard to find. The place marked on the map was actually a village with the same name. She was confused by it in her previous life and missed the opportunity to rescue Lao Chu.
The real cannibal village is in the mountains behind this village, and you need to go through a water cave.
She turned around and glanced at Lao Chu, who was eating the dried tofu roll with green onions that he had not finished. He responded to her with his eyes, "What's the matter?"
Chu An swallowed the words back and said, "It's okay, eat quickly. Those two people should have smelled the meat buns, and I'm afraid they will disturb your meal again."
She believed that Lao Chu was strong inside, and would not take it to heart even if he knew how he died in his previous life. But he was also a thoughtful person. She said that he would not think about himself, but would think about how uncomfortable it would be for his daughter to see her broken body.
With Chu An's reminder, Gu Ye and Lao Chu sped up the process. In less than three minutes, there was nothing left on the table. No, only half a bowl of chili sauce was left.
Chu An put the table and chili sauce into the space.
At this time, the man who had just come to ask for directions appeared in the rearview mirror with five unfamiliar faces, about two cars away from them.
