Chapter 1614 - 905: Scavenging Supplies
He cleaned out his ear and listened again carefully.
It seemed like it was gone again.
Right, in this deserted place, how could there be vibrations?
His brain couldn’t quite process it, so he continued moving forward.
But after walking another minute, the vibration sound got louder.
Hmm?
He raised his head in confusion, only to see Ju Tianrui and their infantry fighting vehicle speeding towards him.
"Holy shit!"
Chen Wei instantly became alert and immediately ran towards the nearby forest.
Inside, he cursed his rotten luck, intending only to escape these people yet running smack into them again.
What a damn misfortune!
He frantically dashed toward the forest, but the vehicle ahead honked repeatedly.
Still, he paid no mind, continuing to rush towards the forest, deeply regretting taking the main road. But the dense Lao Country forests required much more effort to traverse.
After spending a sleepless night coupled with the rugged terrain, he hadn’t run far.
He saw a bullet passing through a tree ahead.
A gunshot rang out simultaneously.
"Stop running, I’ll shoot you dead if you keep it up!" Xiao Ding shouted at him from atop the infantry fighting vehicle.
"It’s over."
Chen Wei shook all over and halted his run.
"Turn around," Xiao Ding commanded.
Not only Xiao Ding, but there were also a few others behind him aiming their guns at Chen Wei.
Chen Wei raised his hands high and slowly turned around.
He looked at them with a bitter smile.
Such terrible luck with blood disaster, how could he encounter them everywhere?!!
Two men got out of the vehicle and walked toward Chen Wei.
Chen Wei glanced to his side and noticed a bush nearby.
He looked at Xiao Ding a few dozen meters away, remaining motionless.
Suddenly, he screamed behind Xiao Ding, then dashed into the bush.
Bang!
At the instant he dashed through, a bullet struck his side waist, piercing through his internals and shooting outwards.
"Ah!"
With a scream, Chen Wei fell to the ground, then rolled downhill through the forest.
He collided continuously with trees while rolling down.
He happened to roll right in front of the two team members who had disembarked.
"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me, gurge gurge, squirt!"
Chen Wei mumbled as blood spewed from his mouth.
"Why did you run, why run? Can you speak Chinese? Where are you from?" Xiao Ding asked with some doubt.
"I...I escaped from Jinmu Group, I was controlled by them and brought over, the people there are terrifying, and I managed to escape last night."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ding was puzzled, uncertain if what this person said was true.
Meanwhile, Li Yu at the back of the convoy noticed the stop and inquired about the situation ahead.
Then he got out and walked over.
Ju Tianrui explained the situation to Li Yu, who frowned and looked at Chen Wei lying and bleeding on the ground.
"Director Li, this is the backpack and gun we found on him." Xiao Ding handed the gun and backpack to Li Yu.
Li Yu rummaged through them.
"He claims to be from Kun City and was caught and brought by Jinmu Group, but I find it suspicious. If he was captured, how does he have a gun?"
Li Yu nodded, indicating he understood.
He then knelt beside Chen Wei, asking, "How did you manage to escape?"
Squirt!
Chen Wei’s innards were pierced by the bullet, causing him to spit blood.
He felt a bit hopeless, not expecting these people to be so ruthless, randomly shooting at a stranger without distinguishing right from wrong — too brutal.
Not an ounce of morality.
With such severe injuries, even if they spared him, surviving alone was impossible.
The only option was to have them treat him.
"I’m from Kun City, was captured and escaped last night in the dark, thought I had escaped hell, but you, why, suddenly..."
He said, tears streaming down.
Then continued saying, "We’re all compatriots, why...such cruel hands when you have the power to go trouble that Southeast Asian scam gang."
He shut his eyes, seemingly lamenting his fate.
This emotion was understandable as he mourned his own luck.
Li Yu frowned, indeed realizing the unintentional harm to the innocent, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
So he further asked, "Last night, when did you leave?"
Chen Wei’s eyeballs rolled, then he spoke, "Around midnight, I took advantage of the guards dozing off and ran away."
"Oh...I see."
Li Yu smiled and looked at his wound, awkwardly saying, "Don’t worry, we’ll help you."
"Thank you, thank you," Chen Wei expressed, feeling saved, face filled with relief.
Li Yu stood up, ordered Ju Tianrui, "Wrap this up. Third Uncle’s waiting for us over there."
Ju Tianrui nodded, picked up a knife, and slowly approached Chen Wei, ready to stab him.
"Eh? Why? Why?"
Ju Tianrui, not one for words and not wanting to waste time, settled it with a single stroke.
Thus, Chen Wei died with confusion.
His declaration of leaving at midnight earlier had already revealed the issue.
