Chapter 184: Escape
After Cheng Sinian escorted all the researchers into the car, he returned to the tent and put all the things in the tent into the space.
At this time, most of the alien species in the camp had been cleared out, with only a few remaining, still roaring.
Cheng Sinian ran outside the tent and cut the ropes securing it with a knife. He rolled up the tent and threw it into the car. Then he said to Qiao Yu, "Everything is packed. We can leave at any time."
Qiao Yu nodded and said, "You drive this car and ask Zhenzhen to get in first. A Zhan and I will go talk to the other captains and see if they want to take our car."
Cheng Sinian thought of the other teams' cars that were destroyed beyond recognition by mutant rats, nodded, and directly pulled Luo Zhenzhen into the driver's seat.
Qiao Yu took Jiang Zhan to Ding Baian first, glanced at their damaged car, and without asking for advice, said directly: "Pack your things and get on the transport truck. We need to leave as soon as possible."
Ding Baian and his companions already trusted Qiao Yu very much. Upon hearing this, they did not hesitate at all and immediately rushed into the car, took out the packed backpacks, and headed straight for the transport truck.
Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan then went to Zhuo Guang's camp, where Xiang Heng and Gao Yang were also.
Gao Yang's arm was injured and he was bandaging the wound behind Baili Zhuo and Xiang Heng.
There were still a few alien species lingering outside the car. Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan raised their guns and killed all the alien species around them. Then they walked over and asked, "Everyone, we found a transport truck on the mountain. Your car is now badly damaged. Do you want to take our car?"
Upon hearing this, the three of them all looked towards the transport truck not far away.
The carriage was very large, more than enough to accommodate the three teams.
Both Blazing Light and Prosperous Dynasty had only one car, both of which were already damaged. However, Vulture had two cars, and aside from a few dents and scratches on the side, one of them didn't seem to have any significant damage.
So when Qiao Yu asked this question, he actually mainly wanted to ask Xiang Heng.
Sure enough, Baili Zhuo and Gao Yang agreed almost instantly, but after thinking for two seconds, Xiang Heng expressed his hope to divide the team into two groups, one group to take Qiao Yu and his team's transport vehicle, and the other group to take the relatively intact car.
Qiao Yu nodded and agreed.
Xiang Heng's decision was completely within Qiao Yu's expectations. After all, after the apocalypse, vehicles were a very valuable resource, and most people would not give up unless they had no other choice.
While everyone was getting supplies, Qiao Yu went to the mercenary team again.
The mercenary team set out with a total of six vehicles. Two of them were still barely usable at this time, but Qiao Yu thought about it and went straight to their captain, asking them all to get on the transport vehicles.
Anyway, there is enough space in the transport vehicle, and if more people gather together, the survival rate will be higher.
The captain of the mercenary team obviously thought the same thing. He had just seen other teams loading their belongings onto the transport trucks, and he was feeling a little anxious.
He had originally thought that if Qiao Yu didn't come to find him, he would go find Qiao Yu himself. Fortunately, Qiao Yu finally came.
The roars of alien species began to be faintly heard around.
Qiao Yu looked at the alien species that appeared one after another in the distance, and couldn't help but pray silently in his heart that Yu Qingchuan would come back soon.
If this situation continues to develop, if they delay any longer, they will probably be at a loss as to what to do.
However, even though he was anxious, Qiao Yu remained calm. As he rushed towards the alien, he shouted to everyone, "Hurry up and pack your things and get in the car! We'll hold them off first."
Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan used the abandoned vehicles of other teams to block the aliens and pushed them to the periphery. Everyone took the opportunity to speed up and board the transport vehicle.
"卍——"
After everyone got in the car and waited for a while, Yu Qingchuan's eagle cry finally came from the distance.
Qiao Yu felt relieved. He turned around and saw that the other teams had already boarded the vehicles safely. He then fought and retreated until he stopped next to the RV.
Qiao Yu stuffed a handful of crystal cores into Wang Zha's mouth, patted its head, signaled it to get in the car quickly, and then went around to the driver's cab with Jiang Zhan.
Qiao Yu sat in the co-pilot seat and gestured to Yu Qingchuan in the sky, indicating that he should lead the way quickly.
Yu Qingchuan understood and immediately changed direction, flying towards one of the routes that the five people had previously planned.
Jiang Zhan started the car and honked the horn several times, then followed Yu Qingchuan's instructions and drove towards that route.
The alien species behind them really followed the crowd and rushed over, and their numbers increased along the way. Everyone felt nervous when they heard the roars coming one after another in the mountains and forests.
The vegetation coverage rate of the route guided by Yu Qingchuan is indeed very high, with dense giant plants on both sides, which effectively isolate possible alien species.
But this situation also has certain disadvantages, that is, the road is too narrow, and the transport truck's mirrors are almost scraping against the tree bark all the way.
Qiao Yu discovered that there were several clusters of broken giant plants on the side of the road, which looked like they had just fallen.
She guessed that after Yu Qingchuan chose this route, he broke off all the plants that might hinder the convoy's progress.
Because the RV led the way, the alien species at the back of the convoy could not be eliminated, so Yu Qingchuan could only go to the back from time to time to poke a few times to hinder the tracking progress of the alien species.
"Why are these alien species chasing us so closely?" Qiao Yu frowned and looked back frequently.
She couldn't see the number of aliens behind the car, but judging from the sounds, the number didn't seem to be decreasing.
Jiang Zhan pursed his lips, his expression slightly stern. "Their cries are a signal. The ones behind us have been sending signals to the aliens in front."
Qiao Yu's face turned pale. "Can we really get rid of them?"
If they keep calling for their own kind to hunt them, even if they can escape from Mingxia Mountain, there will be no shortage of alien species surrounding them.
And by then, there will be no such paths with high vegetation coverage to intercept the alien species on both sides.
"Don't worry." Jiang Zhan's tone was soothing and firm. "As long as we leave Mingxia Mountain, the power of the crystal will gradually weaken."
A hint of hesitation flashed across Qiao Yu's eyes. "Ah Zhan, what you're saying is... that the sample's ability will weaken as the distance between it and the original body increases?"
Jiang Zhan shook his head slightly. "It may not be the distance, it may also be the time."
From the moment they walked out of the cave, he felt that the farther away they were, the weaker the energy of the crystal became.
But he couldn't be sure yet whether it was distance or time that affected it...
