Chen Bufan stood tall with his slightly old backpack full of food on his back, his hands naturally shoved into his trouser pockets, and he walked in front with steady and powerful steps.
Jiang Tong, who was following closely beside Chen Bufan, was carrying a small and exquisite backpack, which complemented her slender figure.
She held the spear tightly in her hand. There was an ingeniously designed mechanism in the center of the spear. Normally, the spear could be folded into two parts for easy carrying. Otherwise, it would be a big hassle every time she went out and took a car.
Looking at the other side, Li Feier was leaning close to Jiang Tong, saying something non-stop, sometimes chuckling, sometimes showing a surprised expression.
Hou Cheng, who was the last one to come, carefully confirmed that the door was locked before turning around and walking towards the three people.
He looked at their figures gradually walking away, and a look of relief first appeared on his face, but soon, this relief was replaced by a hint of sadness.
He thought of the once sunny and cheerful young man, Xu Lei. If he hadn't lost his life in that accident, perhaps he and Li Feier would be a couple now. What a pity.
Hou Cheng still doesn't know the ins and outs of the Mantis incident, and Jiang Tong deliberately concealed it and never revealed the truth to anyone. Xu Lei is dead.
Just as Hou Cheng was immersed in his memories, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something important, and hurriedly quickened his pace and took two steps forward.
"Extraordinary!" Hou Cheng shouted, with a hint of urgency in his voice.
Hearing the shout, Chen Bufan stopped suddenly, turned around quickly and looked at Hou Cheng.
At the same time, Jiang Tong and Li Feier also stopped talking and looked at Hou Cheng with a little confusion.
"Bufan, there must be more than one team going to investigate this time. We may meet members of other teams when we go out. People have different personalities. If anything happens, you have to be gentle."
"Haha, Uncle Hou, you can rest assured! I don't like to cause trouble. If you don't provoke me, I won't even bother to pay attention." Chen Bufan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, as if the troubles in the world have nothing to do with him.
He knew very well that he was not the kind of person who liked to stir up trouble and provoke others, but this did not mean that he would be afraid of anything. He would take action when it was necessary. He just adhered to the principle of not offending others unless they offended me.
Hearing Chen Bufan's words, Hou Cheng nodded repeatedly to show his approval: "That's good, that's good."
However, despite saying that he was relieved, Hou Cheng still had a trace of worry in his heart. He secretly prayed that some ungrateful guys would not take the initiative to provoke Chen Bufan, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Soon, a group of people came downstairs.
I saw a carefully modified Wrangler off-road vehicle parked in front of me. Its front face and windshield were equipped with extremely sturdy protective nets, and all the windows had the same treatment.
Not only that, the glass used in the vehicle is made of high-grade material with bulletproof function.
As for the Dongfeng Mengshi, it had long been returned to its original owner and handed over to Li Weiguo.
To express his gratitude for the gift of the mantis, Li Weiguo invited them to a sumptuous banquet, and finally compensated Chen Bufan with a large bag of heavy crystal cores.
When they saw the astonishing number of crystal cores in the bag, Jiang Tong and Hou Cheng couldn't help but widen their eyes with looks of astonishment on their faces, and looked at each other in bewilderment.
According to common sense, the crystal core given by Li Weiguo seemed to be far beyond the normal range.
Finally, they came to a conclusion - Li Weiguo might have intended to make friends with Chen Bufan. After all, he had witnessed Chen Bufan's extraordinary strength, and he must have wanted to take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with him in case of future need.
Hou Cheng's leg injury has healed and he is driving today.
Chen Bufan sat in the co-pilot seat, holding the map given to him by the mission union when Hou Cheng accepted the mission. With the map, they could accurately find the outpost.
Jiang Tong and Li Feier sat side by side in the back seat of the car. Jiang Tong's eyes occasionally swept over Chen Bufan who was sitting in the front passenger seat. After a few days of getting along, Jiang Tong had a deeper understanding of Chen Bufan.
During the time he chatted with Chen Bufan, he told her the stories he had experienced after the end of the world.
Through these narrations, Jiang Tong discovered that Chen Bufan was not a purely good person in the traditional sense, but he was full of kindness deep in his heart.
Likewise, he cannot be simply defined as a bad guy. After all, the people he killed were the ones who provoked him first.
For Jiang Tong, who has a rather conservative personality, Chen Bufan is the first man to enter her heart.
Because of this, she has been thinking over and over again about how the relationship between the two should develop over this period of time.
At this moment, the perceptive Chen Bufan noticed Jiang Tong's vague gaze from behind.
He looked back through the rearview mirror, a smile as warm as the sun appeared on the corner of his mouth. That smile seemed to have a magical power that instantly dispelled the entanglement and uneasiness in Jiang Tong's heart.
The orange Wrangler was galloping along the road and drove smoothly out of the gate of the base.
Hou Cheng, who was driving, was on edge the whole time until he was sure that the figure that disgusted him did not appear, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Hou Cheng was not worried that the man would cause any substantial harm to Chen Bufan, but he was afraid that the man would anger Chen Bufan without knowing the extent of the situation and end up being killed by Chen Bufan, which would be troublesome.
Hou Cheng drove according to the map. If nothing went wrong, they would arrive in two hours.
But things just don’t happen as expected!
Their car slowly turned around the curve that was completely blocked by the towering buildings. At this moment, Hou Cheng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, suddenly changed his expression and he stepped on the brake pedal without hesitation.
Accompanied by a sharp brake sound - "Screech!" the car stopped steadily in place as if it was cast under a spell.
"Damn it! Whatever you worry about will come true!" Hou Cheng couldn't help but burst out with a swear word. A layer of fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead, and his expression was full of helplessness.
In the middle of the road in front of their vehicles, there were two carefully modified Lexus GX off-road vehicles parked horizontally, with extremely shocking visual effects.
The cool body lines and the wheels shining with metallic luster, coupled with the ubiquitous apocalyptic style, all demonstrate the bold personality and taste of the owners of these two cars.
Next to one of the cars, a young man who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old was leaning against the door, with a cigarette dangling from his lips leisurely.
His eyes were fixed on the intersection where Chen Bufan and the others were from beginning to end, as if he had been waiting there for a long time. The man was wearing a black leather jacket and ripped jeans, and he exuded an unruly and flamboyant aura.
Exactly the same style as the vehicle behind him.
