Chapter 1646 - 916:
Splat!
The fluffy little Xiao Song rolled off the edge of the wall and tumbled onto the marble inside the wall’s perimeter.
"?"
A question mark slowly formed above Third Uncle’s head.
Xiao Song?
Um...
Third Uncle then looked at the bloody mess that was the little Xiao Song, its originally grey fur now stained with red blood.
Then he looked at the spot he had just moved away from.
It was a pinecone.
"Ah, this."
In this apocalyptic world, danger lurks everywhere, and since this wasn’t the Big Camphor Tree Base, Third Uncle’s vigilance was at its peak.
With the sky gradually darkening, alone here, Third Uncle instinctively fired his gun.
As he fired, he saw a blurry black shape but couldn’t be sure what it was, only vaguely making out that it was an animal.
So he decisively opened fire.
Never did he think it would be a little Xiao Song.
Third Uncle walked over, looking at the little Xiao Song lying in a pool of blood.
"Who told you to suddenly ambush..." Third Uncle muttered, turning around to leave.
Back in the central open area of the vacation resort, Old Qin and the others had already refueled the helicopter and were waiting for the captain to return.
Third Uncle immediately boarded the helicopter.
"Captain, I heard gunshots just now; was that you?" Old Qin asked, looking at Third Uncle.
"Yes, it was a small animal, hit me with a pinecone, accidentally fired. It’s fine, let’s take off, it’s about to get dark."
"Alright." Old Qin felt it was a bit funny, but fearing the captain might hit him, he held back his laughter and piloted the helicopter in the direction of Myanmar.
As they had estimated, the distance from Kun City to the Big Camphor Tree Base was greater than from Kun City to Myanmar.
In other words, they wouldn’t need to refuel midway.
The sky darkened, and with dangers everywhere in this apocalyptic world, they weren’t sure if anyone on the ground might see the helicopter and start shooting.
So Third Uncle and the others flew above a thousand meters altitude and turned off all the helicopter lights, flying in the direction indicated by the electronic beacon.
Inside the cabin.
Sitting next to Zhong Chuchu, Jiu Ge quietly asked, "Zhong Leader, do you know where we are now?"
"No idea, but judging from the direction, we’re flying west, probably heading southwest."
"Looks like we just refueled again, I suspect we still have a few hours to go and might even have left the country."
"Whatever, Director Li told us to come, I trust his character. We won’t be at a loss this trip; we’re here to transport supplies, and the further the distance, the longer the mission, which means more contribution points for us, right?"
"That’s true." Jiu Ge’s face blossomed with a smile at Zhong Chuchu’s analysis.
Danger equals reward.
There’s no absolute safety in this apocalyptic world.
Working with Director Li is reassuring.
"Alright, I won’t talk anymore, it’s dark now. I’m going to catch some sleep, wake me if anything happens."
"Okay, Sister Zhong."
.....
One hour later.
Myanmar Park.
Li Yu, seeing the darkening sky, used a military radio to contact Third Uncle.
"Third Uncle, where are you now?"
Crackle, crackle—
Upon hearing Li Yu’s voice, Third Uncle looked down at the ground, a pitch-black expanse.
He couldn’t be certain of their location either.
So he replied, "Can’t see clearly, but we’ve been flying for an hour from Kun City. According to the electronic beacon’s position, it should take another hour and a half to reach you."
Li Yu checked his watch, which showed 7:05 PM.
An hour and a half meant around 8:30.
Ending the call, Li Yu got off the communications vehicle.
Gazing at the silent night, with the full moon hanging high, he thought that Mid-Autumn Festival would be soon. The moon shone bright, emitting a soft white light, illuminating the earth.
Time really flies.
In the blink of an eye, an hour and a half passed.
Third Uncle and the others successfully arrived at the Myanmar Park here.
Third Uncle opened the cabin door, and a group of people disembarked from the helicopter with a clatter.
These people carried bags that contained no food or weapons, only some sleeping bags and bedding.
Given the 2,000-kilometer distance to the Big Camphor Tree Base, it would take them several days to get there.
Once off the helicopter, they curiously looked around. When they saw the tall walls and buildings behind them,
they were a bit dumbfounded.
Particularly when they noticed the Myanmar-style architecture and the Burmese-scripted license plates, their eyes widened even more in surprise.
"Sister Chuchu? Are we overseas? I’m so excited; I’ve never traveled abroad before, and to think I have a chance to now in this apocalypse." Shen Xiaoxiao’s soft, cute voice might have been endearing if not for her towering, muscular physique, which some might find intimidating.
After all, that kind of loli voice which can make you want to protect her kind of contrast with her looks.
Zhong Chuchu rolled her eyes and said, "We’re not here for fun or tourism; we’re here to work. Stop talking, Director Li is coming."
"Director Li."
"City Lord."
"City Lord."
"Hello, Director Li."
.....
As Li Yu approached, Dongfeng and the others quickly greeted him.
Li Yu gestured for silence with his hand while observing the over ninety people who had just disembarked from the helicopter.
Among them were extra staff like Yu Ming and Bai Wenyang...
And cooperative personnel like Jiu Ge, Zhong Chuchu, Dongfeng...
Hmm?
Who is that, Qingyang?
Li Yu had never seen Qingyang wearing anything other than a Taoist robe, so he almost didn’t recognize him.
Why is he here? I don’t remember his name being on the list.
After thinking about it, it might be Li Yuan or Second Uncle who sent him here.
Let’s discuss it later, for now, let’s get everyone settled.
He then addressed the landed support staff:
"Brothers, you’ve had a hard journey. I’ll keep it short so everyone can rest early. There’s a lot to do tomorrow."
"You’re now in Myanmar. We’ve come to combat scammers; there have been scammers causing chaos in the Southwest recently. You probably saw some newcomers at the Big Camphor Tree Base, and if they talked to you, you might already know a bit about this."
"Next, we need your help to move and transport supplies back to the Big Camphor Tree Base. It’s a long journey, so I hope you’re prepared."
"As for the contribution points, I’m sure Mr. Li already discussed them with you. Once you’ve had something to eat, Li Tie will arrange a place for you to rest."
"That’s it, I’m done."
He then turned to Li Tie and said, "Distribute the food we seized from Myanmar to them and arrange a place for them to stay."
Li Tie nodded, "Okay, I’ll do it now."
He then faced the people and said, "Follow me."
Qingyang also started to follow but was pulled aside by Li Yu.
"How did you end up here?" Li Yu asked, curious, with a smirk.
