CH 49

Shi Gong Dui took a shower at almost the fastest speed he had ever used in his life.

To make himself look clean after washing, he deliberately took out his nearly expired perfume and sprayed it on. He then shaved his beard clean and changed into clean clothes.

“All right!” He hurried downstairs, carrying a super-sized backpack, and was relieved to see that Hao Jian and the other had indeed not left yet.

After shaving off his beard, and changed into clean clothes, he did look younger than before, but his sloppy hair and white-rimmed glasses still made him look a little older.

“You brought so many things that can’t fit in the car, what are they?” Peng Mao asked. His heart is actually a bit dissatisfied. He was originally the only man in the team and is usually used as a facade, but in the end, a fat man came. Won’t Hao Jian and the others think that he’s useless?

He opened Shi Gong Dui’s backpack to take a look. It was all figurines aside from some of his snacks.

“What did you bring these for? You can’t eat them!”

Shi Gong Dui snatched his Hatsune back from his hands and said, “Do you know how much money I spend on these figurines?! This is my lifeblood!”

Hao Jian knocked on the roof of the car, “You guys go up and move the equipment down and load them into the trunk. Hurry up, there are zombies coming.”

When the two heard this, they rushed upstairs to work.

Xin Ting glanced at Shi Gong Dui’s backpack and said, “He has a lot of snacks.”

There are at least three bottles of Coke, potato chips, pineapple crisp, cookies, chicken legs. . . and only one set of his clothes, while the rest are all kinds of figurines.

When Shi Gong Dui was ready to get into the car, Peng Mao squeezed into the car before him, preventing him from getting close to Xin Ting. He said angrily, “You’re discriminating!”

Xin Ting smiled awkwardly, “This is good.”

She actually preferred Peng Mao to sit next to her than to let Shi Gong Dui sit next to her.

Shi Gong Dui had no choice but to get into the car, but his big backpack really took up a lot of space, and in the end, under the pressure of everyone, he reluctantly left all of his figurines at home except for his Hatsune figurines.

Even so, he and Peng Mao were two big men that still squeezed Xin Ting to the side, and finally, Lian Ru Ning transferred Shi Gong Dui into the passenger seat while she sat behind Hao Jian and Peng Mao sat on the right, making things a little easier.

After dawdling for so long, it was already getting late.

Fortunately, after the rain subsided, the dark clouds also disappeared and the sky was blue again. The nighttime during summer comes a little slower and they have at least three to four hours before the sky completely darkens. By this time, they need to hurry to find a relatively safe place.

The reason why Hao Jian didn’t think it was safe is that after listening to Shi Gong Dui, she thought that there were dragon houses within a few kilometers. When they drove by, the people in the surrounding dragon houses must have been aware of the commotion.

It was raining heavily before, so they didn’t come over to investigate. But now that the rain has stopped, no one knows if they will organize people to come over to the Shi family’s villa and look for them.

If the gentleman doesn’t erect a dangerous wall, the Shi’s family villa is no longer safe.

She had already removed the license plate with the model mark and used mud to make the car shell dirty. This is to prevent the other party from informing their companions elsewhere of the original license plate and model number that could lead to the other party intercepting them everywhere.

Hao Jian has always been cautious in what she does. Seeing this, Shi Gong Dui said, “Sister, when I look at your handwriting, I can tell that you’re also a person who’s been through a lot of battles, but I still don’t know what you do!”

Hao Jian squinted at him and smirked, “Do I look like I’m easy to take advantage of?”

“I thought we were friends.”

Hao Jian was merciless, “You’re not qualified enough.”

Shi Gong Dui was not upset, but heartlessly took out his potato chips and ate them, “Then I’ll call you Hao Jian like them? Or Classmate Hao? Hao Jian, Hao Jian, your father’s name is really good.”

“When and where. The name your father gave is outstanding.”

Shi Gong Dui kept talking and Peng Mao couldn’t stand it anymore and snatched his potato chips, “Contractor, since you want to hitchhike, you have to obey our rules!”

“Who are you calling? What do you mean?”

“Contractor, you! The boss of the contribution team, the contractor. Don’t you think it fits your image?”

Shi Gong Dui wanted to fight with him, however, considering that he was still in the car, he had to give up.

Peng Mao handed the potato chips to Lian Ru ning and said majestically, “Here, Miss Lian is the boss. We have to listen to whatever she says! If you want to follow us, you also have to pay the security management fee!”

When Shi Gong Dui listened to the first half of the sentence, he suddenly looked at Lian Ru Ning with some surprise. He had guessed before that Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning were some students, but among these people, Lian Ru Ning looked the youngest. He didn’t expect her to be the most prestigious among these people.

He asked, “What’s the security management fee?”

“Do you understand the protection fee? We all paid it and if you don’t have money, you have to come up with something valuable and hand them over.”

The three girls listened to Peng Mao snubbing Shi Gong Dui who didn’t speak. Lian Ru Ning didn’t want to eat snacks and didn’t have the heart to discuss food with them, so she returned the snacks to Shi Gong Dui while Xin Ting adjusted their strategy according to the new information they received.

“We can’t go to the airport, so all the routes in that area have to be avoided, and the towns and villages with dragon houses are not safe to settle down, so our route can only be like this. . .”

“Look at how kind the students are!” Shi Gong Dui listened from the side and was feeling very grateful that he had chosen to go all the way with them – since they have the courage to go to Southern City, they must have confidence.

Looking at it now, they’re all prepared, not fighting unprepared battles, reliable!

Xin Ting suddenly thought, “Mr. Shi is from here, I wonder if he’s familiar with the surrounding towns?”

“I haven’t been out of the house for a long time and I may not know the situation as well as you guys do.” After finishing his speech, Shi Gong Dui suddenly said with a smile, “Xiao Ting, you calling me Mr Shi is quite uncomfortable. I have to last names, so you can call me Old Shi or Old Gong.”

Peng Mao was very dissatisfied with Shi Gong Dui’s way of always taking advantage of others with his mouth. He stretched out a fist and landed it on his head, “Do you really think I won’t dare to clean you up?”

He didn’t use much force and Shi Gong Dui didn’t feel any pain, but he was caught off guard.

Shi Gong Dui angrily turned around to have a man-to-man duel with Peng Mao, but when he saw his opponent’s muscles, he could only say, “If you have the ability, get out of the car, and let’s go fight!”

He knew that Hao Jian was unlikely to park the car, and by the time they do get out of the car, Peng Mao might not remember the incident.

Peng Mao naturally didn’t know that he was such a chicken thief because Hao Jian’s sharp turn prevented them from continuing to argue.

Within Hao Jian and the other’s sight, some dragon houses appeared one after another. They thought that they only blocked the main road and discovered that the original town road wasn’t blocked, the main road was.

Just like the relationship between countless branches and tree trunks, several town roads converge on the county road in Yonghe town. Pieces of signboards or stoned laid across the road, leaving space only enough for two-wheeled vehicles.

Hao Jian had already seen the gaze from behind the fence and she didn’t want to bother those people, so she made a U-turn and turned onto another county road.

“It looks like they’ve really blosked the main road. It seems that we can only take the long way around.” Lian Ru Ning frowned.

Shi Gong Dui, however, turned on his laptop and a small box, then said to Lian Ru Ning, “Classmate Lian, first lend me your walkie-talkie.”

Hao Jian recognized that small box. She found something si,ilar inside the communication equipment room of the conference center. She freed her hand and tossed her walkie-talkie that was on her body to him, “Use mine.”

Not being able to successfully talk to Lian Ru Ning, Shi Gong Dui secretly grimaced.

But after receiving the walkie-talkie, he didn’y sell himself short. While tinkering with the equipment in his hand, he explained to Lian Ru Ning, “I can listen to them using wireless devices before. With this wireless walkie-talkie, it’s easy for me to monitor them!”

Lian Ru Ning smiled and said nothing while Hao Jian just glanced at him, “Yes, if you can do it, you will fight Peng Mao one-on-one after getting off the car. I will let him make you three moves.”

“. . . . .” Shi Gong Dui heard Hao Jian’s teasing and thought about it. He didn’t seem to have provoked Hao Jian, so why does she always get in the way of him using his personality to conquer the hearts of the two other girls?

Then he did it.

However, with the main equipment in the trunk and not operational, his speed was much slower. After debugging for about half an hour, the car passed several large mountains on the county road, and only a faint sound came from the intercom.

The sound wasn’t clear and was a bit intermittent, which was the same as having poor phone signals that caused calls to go unsmoothly.

“The frequency band used by this wireless intercom is civilian. Each brand of walkie-talkies has its fixed frequency, but with my frequency tuning on this intercom’s frequency, this walkie-talkie’s frequency and sub-tone can connect to the military signal bandwidth. Together with my radio, the farthest I can dock to is within a range of 8 kilometers. My computer still saves the data of each frequency band in their intercoms. But if there is a car with a wireless intercom, that would be great. That thing can pick up communication frequencies up to 20 kilometers.”

Lian Ru Ning and the girls showed a look of ‘unawareness’ which made Shi Gong Dui gain great satisfaction. However, Lian Ru Ning asked him, “If you’re so good, why did you want to be a shut-in?”

Shi Gong Dui retorted, “I may be a shut-in, but I haven’t lost my expertise!”

“Without making contributions, no matter how much professional knowledge you ave, it’s just a lonely appreciation.”

Shi Gong Dui couldn’t refute.

However, Lian Ru Ning has never been a person who discourages others, so she gave him another sweet date, “But I’m glad you joined us, otherwise, we would have been ignorant of the dangers that’s lurking around us along the way.”

Hearing this, Shi Gong Dui’s confidence greatly increased. If it were not for the conversation coming out from the intercom, he was afraid that he couldn’t help himself and start bragging to Lian Ru Ning about himself.

“Y356 has not received, Y377 here did not find the car you said ah!”

“G295 didn’t find it either.”

“Is there any manpower arranged over there on Huxiang road?”

These people didn’t use professional words and it was obvious that they were amateurs at first glance, so they couldn’t be people from the government.

But listening to their conversation, it seemed that they really were looking for them and they had caught the attention of those people.

Someone started talking, “Are they ordinary people passing by from somewhere else? I think it’s possible that they came from Jiang City’s direction.”

“Are there ordinary people hanging around at a time like this? Even if it’s an ordinary person, we still have to find out the details, and it would be great if we could bring some information from other places.”

Xinghua is such a big city and we haven’t arranged our own people on many small highways, so how can we find them!”

“There are only a few main roads that enter the basin from he east. unless they don’t pass through here, even if they want to take a detour, they have to take the side road!”

“Hey, could they have gone to the airport?”

“How is that possible? Going to the airport is suicide!”

“They came from outside, they don’t know the situation on the airport!”

Hao Jian did get a few pieces of information from their conversation, “First, they did not set up an interception point on the airport road. Second, they were not able to obtain a lot of intelligence coming from the outside. Three, they said their own people, so it seems that they did cooperate with a part of the towns people, but they don’t treat the towns people as their own.”

Lian Ru Ning knew what Hao Jian meant and pondered for a moment, “It’s reasonable to say that if they have such a great ability to destroy the military, then how can they not know the situation outside? Unless you say. . .”
