98 All The Way North
The car left the resort and headed north. Outside the resort, there were roads that headed in three directions. The snow in the middle of the roads had long been cleared to the side. Obviously, Zuo Mingdong had divided the people into three teams and still let the snow-sweeping trucks open the way for everyone.
This made things much easier for Du Yue and He Xing. The snow on the road was gone, so they could drive faster. After driving north for about half an hour, Du Yue saw the village not far away and also the cars of Zuo Mingdong and his group.
They did not stop the car but continued to drive north. The snow on the road had been cleared away. They did not know how many places Zuo Mingdong planned to search in these two days. After they saw another village, the snow on the road ahead had not been cleared.
Du Yue was about to speak when she saw He Xing press a button on the control panel. The moment the button was pressed, the position of the front of the car changed. There were two iron plates under the hood of the car.
“What’s this for?” Du Yue was a little puzzled, but before He Xing could answer, she had already figured out the use of the two iron plates. The two iron plates moved back and forth, pushing the snow to the sides of the road, clearing out a path for their car to drive through.
“After receiving the mission, I installed these two plates on the car,” He Xing said with a smile, his tone casual. Du Yue looked at He Xing with some admiration. This was not a simple procedure. Even though she had lived two lives, she still knew nothing about it.
She thought it would be difficult for their vehicle to move in the snow without the help of the snow-sweeping truck from the base. But now, they did not have to worry about that at all.
The car drove all the way north into the mountains and forests. Although the branches were bare now, it was not difficult to see the luxuriant scene of the past. It was not strange that there were traces of wild animals in such deep mountains.
The two of them chose a spot with an open view to park the car. He Xing took the gas stove out of the car and placed it in the forest. He placed a pot on it and poured a bag of fresh hare meat into it.
“If wild animals suddenly break into human territory, it’s most likely because they’re too hungry. When the hare meat is cooked and the fragrance spreads out, there should be animals following the smell and coming here. We’ll wait on the roof of the car later. As long as we see them, we’ll shoot them. If it’s unnecessary, we shouldn’t engage in close combat.”
“Alright,” Du Yue replied in a low voice.
The two of them returned to the car after they smelled the aroma of the hare meat in the pot. He Xing did not get on the roof of the car immediately. Instead, he went to the trunk and took out a rectangular box that was half the height of a man. He opened the box, and Du Yue could clearly see that it contained nothing but a gun that was shining with silver light.
It was Du Yue’s first time seeing such a long gun. The visual impact of this gun was many times stronger than that of the gun He Xing had given her.
He Xing packed the bullets and put the rest of the bullets in a box and into his pocket. He then closed the trunk. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Du Yue staring at the gun in his hand with yearning in her eyes.
“Do you like it? Then you can use it!” He Xing said as he handed the gun to Du Yue. Du Yue looked at the gun in front of her, which was almost half the height of a human, and shook her head in the end. “I’ve never used it before. You should use it.”
“Yeah, this isn’t easy, but I’ll teach you.”
“Then after this mission is completed, I’ll learn it from you if we ever have the chance to leave the base.”
Now was not the time to practice shooting. It was true that Du Yue liked this gun, but she also knew that she could not handle it now.
He Xing nodded and did not try to persuade her any further. “Okay, we’ll wait for another chance, then.”
The two of them stopped chatting and climbed onto the roof of the car. There was also about three centimeters of snow on the roof of the car. He Xing reached out his slender arms and swept the snow away with his clothes. Everything was ready. In less than five minutes, the two of them heard a sound from the depths of the forest.
The smell of the hare meat became more and more intense after it was cooked. If it was cooked for a while longer, even people would be attracted by the smell, let alone wild animals that had been hungry for a long time. Du Yue and He Xing held their breaths and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw black shadows running wildly from the depths of the forest.
Each of them had a huge body, and their running speed was extremely fast. “Do it.” He Xing’s index finger was already on the trigger as he uttered the words.
