Chapter 134 The Eve of Farewell
Qiao Yu did not explain the reason to Ding Baian, and Ding Baian was very sensible and did not ask any further questions.
He nodded and agreed immediately without hesitation.
He would never admit it because the way Jiang Zhan and Cheng Sinian stared at him was too terrifying!
"Then I can trust you." Qiao Yu smiled again, "I'll leave your team members to you as well. I don't want to hear any news about this place from any of you, understand?"
"I understand!" Ding Baian nodded like pounding garlic.
"Yes." Qiao Yu nodded with satisfaction. "Then as hush money, you can each take one of the weapons in the back of the car."
"Take it away?" Ding Baian was stunned. "But... these are all..."
"Tsk." Cheng Sinian slapped Ding Bo'an on the shoulder, interrupting him. "How pedantic! I told you to take it, so just take it! How could we possibly fail to complete the mission?"
Ding Baian was still a little confused when he heard this, but the team members behind him immediately started to select their weapons.
"Alright, go pick them out!" Cheng Sinian saw Ding Baian standing there without moving, so he patted him again. "After you've picked them out, each of you will carry a box of ammunition. Remember to close the car door after you're done. It's time for us to go back to the camp."
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the cab.
It was not until Cheng Sinian left that Ding Baian came to his senses as if awakened from a dream, and quickly ran to the rear carriage to pick up his weapon.
Cheng Sinian looked at Ding Boan's back through the car window and said "tsk tsk" twice: "How did he become the captain when he's so stupid?"
Qiao Yu nestled in Jiang Zhan's arms, a lollipop in her mouth, and while looking at the atlas, she replied vaguely, "You don't understand, fools have their own luck!"
Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows.
It seems to be true.
I encountered a wave of alien species, but was rescued by them by accident; I accepted a difficult mission, but they took it over... and now I got a few weapons for free.
This luck is far better than Gu Nanyu's.
No, that's not right.
Actually, Gu Nanyu's luck wasn't bad. Although he had been through many disasters, he always managed to survive.
It's just a bit of a hassle for the people around me...
Cheng Sinian suddenly recalled the feeling of being tortured by wasps that year. He silently held Luo Zhenzhen in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and sternly warned her, "Next time if we deal with Gu Nanyu again, we must stay away from him!"
Luo Zhenzhen also had a lollipop in her mouth and blinked when she heard it, "It's okay... Nothing happened today..."
However, five minutes later, Luo Zhenzhen looked at the car stuck in the swamp and felt pain on the side of her face.
"Damn! How could there be a swamp here?!" Yu Qingchuan was speechless.
I took this exact road when I got here! I just took an extra turn!
It doesn’t rain all day, where did this swamp come from?
Qiao Yu was also confused.
She had lived two lifetimes, and this was the first time she encountered a swamp in the woods far away from the river in the apocalypse.
"...Is Gu Nanyu so smart?"
Jiang Zhan thought about it and nodded silently, "He is indeed quite smart."
"Look! What did I say?" Cheng Sinian sighed, opened the car door and got out, muttering, "Good things don't work, but bad things do..."
Even with Jiang Zhan here today, he still couldn't escape.
It seems like the four of them are too influenced by Gu Nanyu...
Luo Zhenzhen silently followed Cheng Sinian out of the car, and secretly swore in her heart that she would stay away from Gu Nanyu in the future!
All five people got out of the car and wanted to pull it out, but Yu Qingchuan went to take a look at the front of the car and his expression became even uglier.
"No, there's digestive fluid from mutant plants in that swamp, and the front wheels of the car are completely broken."
“…” Qiao Yu silently covered his forehead.
Fortunately, Ding Baian and his car were following behind and were not affected.
The crowd had no choice but to move all the weapons in the back of the car into Ding Baian and his team's car.
But the car carrying Dante Baian and six people did not have enough capacity, so they could only transport a batch back to the camp first, and then ask Lin Yingjie and others to come and help.
After all, Ding Baian and others were present, and Qiao Yu and others could not use the space.
The five of them sat in a row on the side of the road resignedly, waiting for Lin Yingjie to come to the rescue.
As Qiao Yu used the jade vine to pull the transport vehicle to prevent it from sinking further, she silently complained in her heart: Gu Nanyu, Gu Nanyu, this unlucky bastard with a body that is destined to bring disaster to others. She really stabbed her butt with a knife today - she finally opened her eyes.
By the time Lin Yingjie brought them all back to the camp, it was almost midnight.
Qiao Yu was not stingy and also equipped the Lin family with six guns.
Lin Yingjie was reluctant to accept it at first, thinking that they had not been of much help along the way and were not worthy of such a valuable item.
Qiao Yu stuffed it directly into their car and said, "Keep it. Consider it a thank you gift for tonight."
"Besides, once we get to the base tomorrow, everyone will go their separate ways. Keeping this thing will save your lives!"
Anyway, Gu Nanyu gave a lot.
Moreover, according to Gu Nanyu, when he was discussing the deal with Yin Ji, he did not specify the specific number of weapons, only saying that there would be no less than 200 guns and 500 boxes of ammunition.
So when the task is delivered, they only need to pay the minimum.
The rest is naturally all theirs.
Seeing that Qiao Yu insisted, Lin Yingjie did not refuse anymore and accepted it with many thanks.
Thinking back on the help Qiao Yu and the others had given them along the way, Lin Yingjie couldn't help but feel his eyes slightly red.
Lin Yingjie returned to the car. Deng Minglang leaned over and asked softly, "Brother-in-law, are we really going to part ways with them?"
Lin Yingjie looked up and glanced around. Seeing that everyone was nervously waiting for his answer, he sighed softly.
“All good things must come to an end.”
Everyone looked anxious when they heard this.
"Uncle, I think they're kind-hearted, and we've built a bond along the way. Why don't we go talk to them again and join their team when we get to the base?"
"Yeah, brother, why don't you try to discuss it again?"
Everyone chattered at once, goading Lin Yingjie. But before he could say anything, Lin Han's face turned pale and he hurriedly whispered to stop them, "Stop... stop talking! Hush!"
But her deterrent power was obviously not strong enough, and the crowd was still talking loudly.
Seeing this, Lin Yingjie's face darkened. "That's enough! We clearly agreed from the beginning that this was just a partnership. They've already helped us so much along the way! And you're still not satisfied?!"
"I think I've spoiled you too much! All you do is hide behind others like a coward instead of thinking about how to be independent and self-reliant!"
"Is that what I taught you?!"
After being scolded by Lin Yingjie, everyone in the Lin family dared not say a word.
Lin Yingjie, still feeling unsatisfied, continued to scold, "Go and discuss it with them, right? Fine, if you want to go, go by yourselves! Don't take me with you! I'm not as delicate as you guys!"
Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to say that they wanted to go to Qiao Yu and the others to discuss the matter.
At this time, in the RV not far from the Lin family's car, Jiang Zhan had just informed Qiao Yu of the Lin family's conversation.
A hint of inquiry slowly flashed across Qiao Yu's eyes.
These people's thoughts are understandable.
But Lin Han's reaction... seemed a little special...
