Chapter 210 Departure
Let's drive the snowmobile, but we obviously can't continue to drive the car that the Fugui Gang drove to our place, because we might pass by the Fugui Gang's territory along the way, and people would find out that their fifth-level psychic's car was driven by us, which would be a big trouble.
I had no choice but to ask Duanmu Hong to borrow an off-road vehicle with snow tracks. His family basically has luxury cars, and I deliberately picked a Subaru off-road SUV that was not very new and luxurious and was used by his servants. This way it would attract a lot less attention.
The location Zhu Yan indicated was very close to Shengbin Base. It just so happened that after I got there, in addition to rescuing Duanmu Qing and Feicui, I also wanted to look for the whereabouts of Brother Chen Qiang and his two sons, Chen Si and Chen Zhen. Deep down in my heart, I had a terrible premonition that perhaps they had all died in the disaster. I hope I was overthinking it.
Before leaving, I told my younger sister to take good care of grandpa and help grandpa take good care of little Mu En, and try not to leave the quarantine center. After telling her, I also specifically told Shan Ziyu to tell him that I treat him as my own brother. After we are gone, you will be the only male in the family, so you must help me take care of the house! Don't let anything go wrong while I am away.
Shan Ziyu assured me that he would take on this responsibility.
My grandfather told me solemnly that he must bring the jade back safely. At this time, the 76-year-old grandfather's eyes were filled with tears. His worry and desire made me feel very uncomfortable. I nodded and promised that I would bring the jade back. How could I let my grandfather down?
Brother Li also told his two daughters to listen to Sister Zhenzhu. After that, he turned around reluctantly and left with me.
After getting in the car, I stepped on the accelerator and drove away from Duanmu Hong's house. Brother Li was sitting in the passenger seat, and Song Jue was also in the back seat eating the high-end foreign snacks I handed him. After all, Song Jue was only 17 years old, and still had the innocence of a child, loving to eat snacks and play with his mobile phone.
We set off after breakfast in the morning. As soon as we went out, we found that thick fog was rising in the mountains. I always felt that there was some deformed giant animal walking in the fog. That feeling made me shudder. I drove very slowly and stopped when passing by Chu Fangjun's house, thinking about discussing something with Chu Fangjun.
Chu Fangjun also got up early in the morning and dressed. When he heard that we were going to rescue Feicui and Duanmu Qing, he became interested in going out with me to help. He explained that although he hated Duanmu Qing who always thought he was superior to himself, he still wanted to help out of sympathy.
Yes, he actually said the word "sympathy", and it was obvious that he had no good intentions towards Duanmu Qing.
Seeing that Chu Fangjun was going, Su Keshan and Chu Yuan also followed to take a look. In the end, they persuaded the two girls that you two are incompetent and can only cause trouble, so you can't be allowed to participate in such a dangerous thing! Only Chu Fangjun got in the car with us. Before leaving, he asked Wanqian and Gu Qingyan to help him look after the house and take care of the two women!
Immediately after we drove away from the villa complex halfway up the mountain, the fog gradually dissipated. Chu Fangjun said that it was only in the mountains that fog easily occurred recently. He didn't know the reason for this natural phenomenon, but he knew that it was best not to walk in the mountains when it was foggy. It was said that many people disappeared at this time, and at present, disappearance was equivalent to death.
Next we studied the route. The interior of the Mid-Mountain Base is relatively safe in broad daylight, but once we leave the Mid-Mountain Base far away, we will enter the control area of the Fugui Gang. With our current strength, we are obviously no match for the Fugui Gang, so we have to avoid them as much as possible and bypass them to safely reach where we want to go.
Chu Fangjun then took out an electronic map and spread it out for me to see. This technological product is amazing. It can actually display realistic three-dimensional holographic images, as if the real geographical landscape, including every landform and urban building, is emerging and presented vividly before our eyes.
I looked at this high-tech product in amazement and asked Chu Fangjun where he got it.
Chu Fangjun showed a smug smile on his face. He said confidently: "Although the disaster has come, it has not stopped the scientists from studying. They are still exploring the unknown areas unremittingly. This is the latest high-tech product. It was also thanks to someone that I got such a post-earthquake holographic map device!"
I don't want to listen to Chu Fangjun's bragging anymore. In fact, I still think the cold Duanmu Qing is more reliable.
He pointed to a red hub area and said, "If we reach this control area, we should keep a low profile. As far as I know, although the Fugui Gang robs people, they are not unreasonable. In addition to charging a toll, people passing through their territory can actually pass through!"
What I mean is that you should try not to go to the Fugui Gang’s base camp or areas where they gather in large numbers, so you can avoid a lot of trouble.
Just as we were discussing, snowflakes suddenly flew up from the sky again. I sighed and wondered if it had started snowing again. And as our car moved faster, the snowflakes gradually changed from soft drizzle to heavy snow... What a horrible weather!
The heavy snow blocked our view. Actually, this kind of weather was a good thing for us, because no one would want to come out and block the road in the snow, but it also made us look very conspicuous.
I had to go save Feicui and didn't have time to think too much. We finally chose a rugged path to bypass the Fugui Gang's territory and reach Shengbin Base. However, we didn't expect to see signs of interception even on such a remote road!
If the snow hadn't been so heavy that my visibility was poor, I would have walked around this raised wire fence from a distance. Unfortunately, when I saw the wire fence, it was already right in front of me. It was obviously impossible for me to leave or to park the SUV and drive through my supermarket lounge.
Because you can't do this kind of thing under other people's noses.
I saw a man dressed like a big bear waving a stick in front of us, asking me to drive the car to a dilapidated building. Brother Li and I looked at each other and had to follow his instructions and drive the car to the designated place.
It turned out that there were quite a few people living in that shabby little building. When a man saw us driving over, he walked over lazily and knocked on my car window with a stick, motioning for me to get out.
I turned around and told the people in the car that I would get off first and they should not move.
After I got out of the car, the man didn't let me close the door. He just stretched his neck to glance inside the car. When he saw a group of men in the car, he lost interest. As soon as he closed the door, he asked me, "Where are you from? Where are you going?"
"What are you doing..." I was a little confused and wanted to know whether they were members of the Fugui Gang.
"We are from the Fugui Gang! Let me make it clear to you first, we are not bandits, we are here to protect the lives of the people! Now this exit has been contracted by my eldest brother, and we have to hand over food to the higher-ups. We brothers are not deliberately making things difficult for you, if you want to pass through here you have to hand over some food, and there are three people in your car, so give me five kilograms of food."
I frowned. These ruffians didn't want much, so I decided to just spend some money to avoid disaster and get rid of them first.
