Chapter 258: Coincidence or Something Spooky?
On Li Yu's side, everyone had already had lunch.
Standing on the terrace of the Unimog, they removed the waterproof cloth.
The weather was getting colder, and sunbathing at noon was quite nice.
Li Yu shielded his eyes with his hand to prevent them from being sunburned.
Suddenly, he heard a cursing sound from behind.
It was Li Hang.
Li Yu quickly got up and looked down at Li Hang, asking, "What's wrong, Xiao Hang?"
Li Hang pointed to a big tree in front of them and said, "Big Brother, the snake we blasted that day seems to still have some alive, look, there are two more over there."
Following the direction Li Hang was pointing, Li Yu saw two snakes, black and white, intertwined on the opposite big tree, hissing in their direction.
Li Yu had good eyesight, he looked into the snake's eyes, and he wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but he felt like the snake was staring at them.
Snakes generally don't have good vision.
Damn!
Seeking revenge?
Li Yu hated snakes the most.
At this moment, he was somewhat unsettled and said to Li Hang, "Eliminate them."
Both Yutong and Song Min next to him also disliked snakes, even feeling somewhat fearful.
Wang Cheng used to be skilled at catching snakes, so he volunteered eagerly, "Brother Yu, let me do it, I used to catch snakes for a while to sell."
Li Yu looked at Wang Cheng unexpectedly and said, "I didn't see that coming, you have this skill. Alright, but be sure to be careful."
Li Yu thought for a moment, handed him a bomb-proof helmet, and then put gloves on him.
Wang Cheng: "...."
Unable to climb the tree, he directly picked up a tree stick to knock the snake down.
The two snakes were promptly knocked down, and Wang Cheng started to catch them.
Seizing the opportunity, Wang Cheng accurately grabbed the snake by its lifeline.
However, at that moment, the other snake, being quite cunning, quickly slithered towards Yutong's direction after Wang Cheng caught the first one.
With ferocity.
Crack!
On the concrete road.
A large Martin boot firmly stepped on the snake's head, crushing it into a pile of mush.
The rest of the snake's body was still wriggling.
Li Yu stomped again.
Crack!
The snake's body was crushed into two halves.
"That's brutal..." Li Hang opened his mouth wide, witnessing this scene.
Yutong stepped forward, looked at the snake below with some fear in her eyes but quickly overcame it, then said to Li Yu, "Go wash your shoes, the snake might be poisonous."
"Okay." Li Yu turned his head and then stepped into a nearby puddle to wash.
The high-top Martin boots had the advantage of being sturdy and durable.
Not easy to get water inside. After washing it twice, it finally got clean.
Li Yu saw Wang Cheng holding the snake and somewhat disgustedly said, "Go ahead and butcher it."
Wang Cheng, having seen those snakes blown to bits before, felt a bit sorry.
Those were good ingredients for making snake soup, he hesitated but finally said, "Want me to kill this one for you to try? My cooking skill is quite good."
"Are you sure it's edible?" Li Yu asked.
Wang Cheng licked his lips and said, "Don't worry, it's edible. I make excellent snake meat."
Li Yu saw his eagerness to eat and said nothing more, simply waving his hand and letting him handle it.
Time passed by bit by bit.
The discovery of these two snakes made Li Yu keep a vigilant heart, taking Li Hang to search the surroundings again to see if any snakes were missed.
After two rounds, they found two more and simply dealt with them all.
After addressing these hidden dangers, his heart felt slightly better.
The sun gradually slanted westward, and Li Yu would occasionally stick his head out to look in the direction of the foot of the mountain.
Waiting
....
At sunset, the old house mountain has an altitude of more than 800 meters.
The birds return to the trees at sunset, and Li Yu watched them in a daze.
Before his rebirth, he had never seen the existence of zombie birds among the birds; if there were zombie birds, humanity would have been doomed long ago.
While Li Yu was lost in thought, the sun slowly descended.
The setting sun was endlessly beautiful; high up in the mountains, one could see far away, see the hills draped in golden hues, the leaves swaying, everything in the mountains bathed in the golden afterglow of the sunset.
It was beautiful!
But Li Yu was in no mood to appreciate all this. According to his agreement with Uncle, he was supposed to be back in about 5 minutes.
Why hasn't he returned yet?
Li Yu anxiously glanced at his watch again; in just this short period, he had already checked it nearly 10 times.
5:00 PM
Still no sign of them.
Could something unexpected have happened? Li Yu thought worriedly.
But just as he was thinking about it, a voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, we've arrived; move the car a little."
It was Uncle!
Li Yu excitedly replied: "Okay, okay."
Then he asked Li Hang to drive the car aside, as there would definitely be other vehicles coming.
After waiting for a few minutes, a convoy appeared in front of them.
One vehicle.
Two vehicles.
....
A total of 8 vehicles.
Li Yu estimated it in his mind and realized that even with these vehicles passing through, there might still be some shortfall.
They probably need to make two more trips.
But no worries. Slowly does it.
It was now 5:00 PM, and the sun would set in another half an hour.
So, transporting stuff today was definitely not an option; they might as well park the convoy in a suitable position.
Arranged in a circular formation, with the Unimog still at the forefront, next to the cave entrance.
Nine vehicles surrounded the cave entrance, creating a large space in the middle.
Li Tie, Li Gang, and the others got out of their vehicles and lay down in that open area to rest.
They had been moving these firearms early this morning and then transported them back, and now they have driven the vehicles back.
Going back and forth, although not a particularly long time, still made them quite tired.
Song Min and others were preparing dinner, fortunately, they had brought enough food, and managed to make some.
But for the few workers and Teacher Liu, they were exceptionally excited, so Li Hang took them down to have a look.
Their expressions upon seeing the heaps of firearms and ammunition underground were the same as when Li Hang first went down.
Having these things really provided a great sense of security.
Everyone felt even more reassured.
After eating something, Uncle and Li Yu talked about the man with black silk they encountered on the way back today.
Li Yu's hand, holding food, paused for a moment, then he said, "Could it be some kind of trap set by someone?"
Uncle immediately replied, "It's not very likely, although it happened inside the tunnel, we didn't see the presence of other people."
Li Yu's eyes turned a bit cold, emitting a slightly terrifying aura as he said, "If he really is a madman, could he survive until now in a bridge hole where zombies hide?"
Uncle fell into thought.
Li Yu then said: "Anyway, remember one thing, in any situation, do not get out of the car. Do not stop!"
