275 Can’t Be Too Careless
Wan Dapeng’s base used to be a seafood processing plant. It was normal to have pickup trucks and buses. At that time, none of them would have thought that these cars would be used in such a way. He Xing was following the last car, which was moving at a much slower speed than before. Du Yue had already reclined the passenger seat and crawled to the back.
As the two of them had been sleeping in the car for the past two days, the back seats had not been put up after they were put down. Now, it was convenient for Du Yue. Du Yue sat in the empty trunk and began to take things out. Fortunately, in order to get better sleep, Du Yue had pulled a black curtain between the driver’s cabin and the trunk to separate the front and the back.
Therefore, even if Wan Dapeng was standing beside the car, he could not see what was going on behind. Otherwise, if he saw that they did not have any supplies in the trunk, it would be troublesome later. Du Yue pulled the curtain open and spoke to He Xing as she took things out of her interspace.
She took out two sleeping bags, then two suitcases containing their clothes from her interspace. She put them in the corner to hide them from the public. There was also pure water for drinking. Du Yue brought out four large buckets. If they took the highway, it would definitely take much longer than the expressway. They did not know when they would reach the place. Four buckets of water would be enough for Du Yue and He Xing to use in public for a while.
In addition to these, there was also a gas stove for food. There was also a mobile power source, a small generator, and a barrel of oil. Bedding, toiletries, and two mountaineering bags that were filled with food and were as tall as half a person were also placed down.
Du Yue had always thought that He Xing’s car was very spacious, and the trunk was also very spacious. However, the supplies had already taken up more than half of the space in the trunk. The remaining space was only big enough for Du Yue to lie in, and it was not very spacious. He Xing, who was driving in the front, smiled when he saw Du Yue busying herself in the back.
Before he could say anything, Du Yue had already gone over and said to him, “We can’t sleep in the car. Let’s set up a tent and sleep outside!”
He Xing did not care where they slept. He nodded without any objection. Du Yue returned to the front passenger seat after she was done with all this. She looked back again after she sat down and clapped her hands in satisfaction. “Not bad. We look like we’re on the run now.”
They could not be so careless in the future. They still had to prepare some supplies in the car to hide from people. Otherwise, other people would have brought all their luggage with them when they were on the road. Other people’s cars were so packed with luggage that they were about to explode, but their car was empty. That would be too conspicuous.
Although they would not allow anyone to sit in their car, it was better to be cautious! Although they were not fast, at least there was space for everyone. However, there were so many people in the second base. They did not know if everyone had gotten a seat. If everyone from the second base had gotten into a vehicle, they would not be able to meet each other even if they were not moving very fast.
However, if not all of them had gotten into a vehicle… Du Yue did not want to waste time thinking about things that had not happened yet. The car drove all the way until one o’clock in the afternoon before the car in front of them stopped. They had already gotten off the expressway and were ready to go to the highway. Not long after the convoy stopped, Wan Dapeng walked over.
He Xing rolled down the window, and before he could ask, Wan Dapeng had already opened his mouth. “We’ve driven so far, and everyone is hungry and tired. Let’s rest here for an hour. We’ll leave at two o’clock.”
He Xing nodded. “Alright! Big Brother, you should also go and rest!”
Du Yue and He Xing had agreed to eat on their own, so Wan Dapeng did not invite them to eat with him. He turned around and left after he finished talking to He Xing. Du Yue and He Xing had a simple meal in the car. Although the car was sealed and they did not have to worry about the aroma escaping, they only ate some instant noodles for safety reasons. After the meal, they even rinsed their mouths to ensure that even if they were to talk to others face-to-face, they would not be able to smell the food in their mouths.
At this time, the two of them had to be cautious. Although they had a good impression of Wan Dapeng, they still did not want to test his humanity with what he was lacking now.
