"Boss, what's going on up ahead? I see some soldiers blocking the road. What should we do?"
Chen Letian also had a telescope, which he got from Guo Zuo. He saw the situation in the distance and quickly got out of the car, walking to Shen Yuan's window to ask in a low voice.
"Everyone get out of the car. Let's discuss this together," Shen Yuan said.
Collective wisdom is beneficial.
Shen Yuan's individual wisdom was limited, and in this situation, it was necessary to seek everyone's opinion.
Soon, a group of people gathered around the Box Truck, including several women from the police car.
Shen Yuan explained the situation in detail and then asked for everyone's opinions.
Xu Lixing was a quiet person, Chi Qinghua's opinion didn't need consideration, and the women's opinions were not important. Therefore, the real consultation was with Wei Jiankang, Wei Luhe, Zhang Huanxue, and Chen Letian.
"There are troops? So that means Pengcheng Airport is safe? That's great! Let's head over there right now. What are we waiting for?" Wei Luhe was the first to speak, only to be met with Chen Letian's eye roll.
"Luohe Sister, did you leave your brain at home? Just because there are troops doesn't mean it's safe. Who knows what kind of troops they are? Real troops or fake ones? Besides, we only saw about ten soldiers; where's the army in that? Also, we have so many guns here, including Micro Submachine Guns. If we just go over like this, what if they think we're going to attack them and shoot us down?"
Chen Letian rambled on for a while before stating his suggestion: "I think we need to find out more about the situation at Pengcheng Airport before making any plans."
Wei Jiankang nodded and said, "The Survivors from Wuwan Town must have run to Pengcheng Airport. There should really be a unit stationed at Pengcheng Airport; those from Wuwan Town might have been brought here by that unit. Since the troops are willing to rescue the people from Wuwan Town, it shows they don't intend to ignore our Survivors' lives and won't recklessly attack us. The only concern is whether we can keep our guns. After all, private gun ownership is not allowed in Huaxia."
Chen Letian suggested, "How about we hide our guns first and then go over? Okay, forget I said anything."
Chen Letian suddenly thought that the soldiers were much more professional than he was; where could they hide without being discovered? Moreover, since they could observe others with binoculars, others could also observe them. The fact that they had guns was probably already known to others!
Zhang Huanxue suddenly said, "How about we find a place to stay first? We can assess the situation later. Or... we could send a few people to scout the situation?"
Shen Yuan glanced at Zhang Huanxue, realizing that her words hit the nail on the head and actually proposed a suggestion.
Both methods were feasible, but Shen Yuan leaned more towards the second one.
Because in the apocalypse, nowhere was safe. Who knew what they might encounter if they just randomly found a place to stay? If they were attacked by a Mutant Beast, no one could guarantee their safety. If they could stay with the troops, their safety would be better assured.
"How about this: you all wait here while I drive over to check the situation," Shen Yuan said.
The Box Truck had decent defensive capabilities; ordinary handguns couldn't penetrate it, and rifles might not be able to either. Plus, he was quick on his feet; as long as he was careful, there shouldn't be any problems.
Chen Letian gritted his teeth and said, "Boss, I'm going with you! I'll drive, and you can sit in the passenger seat. What are you looking at me like that for? I'm already as brave as Lu Bu and as righteous as anyone else!"
Shen Yuan glanced at Chen Letian, knowing that this guy was usually cunning and wouldn't take unnecessary risks. The reason he wanted to go along was simply because he felt that those soldiers wouldn't recklessly open fire and also understood that the Box Truck had impressive defensive capabilities; bullets wouldn't penetrate it.
It was quite safe!
Shen Yuan actually wanted Chen Letian to come along because he wasn't good at communicating with others and really needed someone like Chen Letian in this regard.
Of course, Chi Qinghua didn't want her brother to take risks, but Shen Yuan gently reassured her that there was nothing to worry about; if danger truly arose, they could just turn back. Besides, with his skills and the submachine gun he had, he wouldn't necessarily be afraid of those soldiers.
"Shen Ge, let me go with you guys. Before the apocalypse, I worked in the human resources department of a company and had also worked in marketing; I'm quite good at communication," Ling Jie spoke up at that moment.
Zhou Wen pulled her arm, giving her a look, not wanting her to take risks. However, she gently shook her head at Zhou Wen; she had her own plans.
Now they were relying on Shen Yuan and the others. Although they didn't mind, it wasn't good to keep it that way. When they could help, it was better to lend a hand, to establish their presence and let others feel that they were not completely useless.
Of course, as an ordinary good citizen before the apocalypse, she still had a deep-seated trust in the military, believing there wouldn't be any danger. If they were facing a group of tough-looking delinquents, she might not be willing to go over.
"That's settled then."
Shen Yuan looked at Wei Jiankang and the others and said, "Old Wei, Xu Lixing, Wei Luhe, and Azure Mantis, make sure you all have your guns ready. If anything happens, be prepared to support us at any time."
The cab of this large truck was spacious enough for three people.
Chen Letian was driving, while Shen Yuan had no choice but to squeeze in with Ling Jie. Feeling the warmth radiating from the other person, Shen Yuan was relatively okay because he was actually quite nervous; after all, they were about to face a group of soldiers armed with real guns. Ling Jie was different; trusting the military made her less anxious. The warmth coming from Shen Yuan felt very evident and somewhat...
Restless.
The two-kilometer distance wasn't far and they arrived in no time.
Seeing those soldiers already raising their rifles to aim at the truck, ready to fire at any moment, Chen Letian slowed down when he was still some distance away, inching forward like a turtle.
Finally, when they were close enough, he came to a stop.
Soon, he saw a soldier pick up a loudspeaker and then heard a booming voice:
"Attention vehicles ahead! Attention vehicles ahead!"
"This is Pengcheng Airport Shelter Third Special Operations Team, I am Captain Leiming! Please get out of the vehicle and cooperate with the inspection! Please do not worry, we will not forcibly take any of your property, including firearms!"
"Repeat: This is Pengcheng Airport Shelter Third Special Operations Team, I am Captain Leiming! Please get out of the vehicle and cooperate with the inspection! Please do not worry, we will not forcibly take any of your property, including firearms!"
Shen Yuan was taken aback.
This was completely different from what he had imagined!
Pengcheng Airport Shelter? What on earth?
Third Special Operations Team? A special operations team?
Also, they won't forcibly take any property, including firearms?
Is it credible?
Shen Yuan hesitated, unsure and afraid to take risks.
"Shen Ge, let me go down and negotiate with them. Don't worry, I came here to negotiate with them anyway, and I am the most suitable for this. Since I am going down, you still have firearms in your hands. Even if those people have any ideas, they won't dare to act rashly," Ling Jie volunteered.
Now was not the time for indecision. Shen Yuan looked at Ling Jie and nodded heavily: "Alright! You can rest assured, I will ensure your safety!"
