Free Web NovelChapter 1557: Chapter 885: Encounter on the Road (2)
One day, suddenly, a passing pickup truck stopped to help him load his packages onto the truck. He felt a burden lifted from his shoulders, so he definitely wanted to get on that truck.
Because his packages were also on that truck.
Ghost Head barely recognized Zhang Rufen anymore, but he inexplicably felt that what Zhang Rufen was doing seemed beneficial.
With one kneel, the future suddenly brightened up.
At this moment, Li Yu walked out of the hall.
He took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and pulled one out.
The evening breeze blew gently. As August arrived, the temperature was still stiflingly hot.
In the silent night, on the distant, empty ground, the moon shone brightly in the sky.
The moonlight was like water.
Li Yu slowly sat down on the steps by the door.
Click!
Sizzle sizzle.
The burning ember inexplicably made people feel calm after hearing it.
He turned his head to look in the direction of Zhang Rufen in the hall and saw Zhang Rufen looking back at him too.
His face was full of a flattering smile as he extended his right hand, waving to Li Yu.
Li Yu was a bit baffled, but he couldn’t hit a smiling face.
He nodded slightly anyway.
Zhang Rufen was thrilled to see Li Yu nod at him.
Li Lao Da nodded at me. That’s his recognition of me. Does that mean I can join them?
Ah! This group is really strong. They strike decisively and brutally, but in the doomsday, following talents like them is the most reliable!
This Li Lao Da, from my observations these past two days, I’ve realized he’s the leader of this group. As long as I hold tight to his leg, how bad could my luck get?
Thinking thus, Zhang Rufen was instantly full of energy.
....
After finishing the cigarette, Li Yu went back to the second floor.
He took out a moisture-proof mat and a sleeping bag from his backpack.
Though it’s still summer, the windows on the second floor of this building were made of glass, and they were all broken. The night wind came in, and it was a bit cool in the mountain woods at midnight, so having a blanket would prevent catching a cold.
Nothing happened through the night.
The next day, when Li Yu woke up, he saw Luo and the others eating.
Luo looked a bit embarrassed seeing Li Yu awake and said:
"Director Li, did I wake you? Sorry about that, I was just too hungry."
Li Yu waved his hand and said, "No, I woke up on my own. How did you sleep?"
Luo and the others hadn’t slept for two days and nights, and they had slept from yesterday afternoon until now, for over ten hours.
Luo said energetically, "Oh, I slept quite well. Director Li, how are we going to plan the next steps? Any actions?"
Li Yu got up, rolled up the moisture-proof mat and the sleeping bag, and said, "Wait."
"Wait?"
"Yes, wait for the main force to arrive."
"And after the main force arrives? Do we go directly to Lao Country?"
Luo slept too deeply yesterday, and new information that Dapao got from interrogations wasn’t known to Luo and the others yet.
So Li Yu briefly explained it.
Luo put down the food in his hands, rubbed his palms, and said, "Heh, looks like next, we can go to Kun City and catch those bastards in one go."
"Hmm." Li Yu nodded slightly, then got up and packed his bag.
He picked up his gun and headed downstairs.
Downstairs, Third Uncle saw Li Yu coming down, took off the military radio earpiece, and said to Li Yu, "Ju Tianrui and the others have already set off and have now reached New City."
"So soon?" Li Yu said, somewhat surprised.
He looked at his tactical watch; the time displayed was seven in the morning.
Reaching Xin City meant they had set out as soon as it was light.
"Yes, the journey is long, so they set off as early as possible. If all goes well, they should arrive here by evening," Third Uncle said.
Li Yu nodded, indicating he understood.
Getting here sooner is also good, as it would give them more time.
While having breakfast, a voice came from the center of the hall.
"Good morning, Li Lao Da!"
It was Zhang Rufen, looking full of spirit, standing tall.
He looked more loyal than the most faithful guard.
Li Yu twitched the corner of his mouth; what’s Zhang Rufen up to now?
But in the face of such enthusiasm from Zhang Rufen, Li Yu still waved his hand at him, indicating he knew.
Zhang Rufen: Li Lao Da responded to me. As expected, Li Lao Da still holds me in high regard!
....
Time ticked by second by second.
The people here weren’t wasting their time waiting idly.
Li Yu, Third Uncle, Li Tie, Jackals, Dapao, and others gathered around a civilian map discussing battle plans.
"When Ju Tianrui and the others arrive, if they get here today, we can go to Kun City tomorrow, set up an ambush in advance, and then surround them and take them out.
But if Ju Tianrui encounters any accidents on the road, we’ll just go directly the day after tomorrow."
Li Yu said to everyone, looking at the civilian map.
"What about the scattered scammers all over the place? How do we deal with them?" Li Tie asked.
He also knew that currently, in the entire Southwest Region, there might be people from Southeast Asia causing chaos everywhere.
"We have so few people, spreading out is too dangerous," Dapao said.
Third Uncle pointed to the circle drawn over Kun City and said, "No worries, we have helicopters. At that time, we can form three flying squads for the search operation, coordinating with the ground. Once the scammers are found, the ground forces will move in for the strike."
Li Yu nodded and said, "It’s fine, by the day after tomorrow, a lot of scammers will have gathered in Kun City. Taking out these people first is the priority. The remaining small fry won’t pose a threat."
