Obviously, the bandits went to great lengths to separate the various escort bureaus in order to make it easier for them to attack. Once the time comes, they will definitely attack some of the escort bureaus after planning for a long time.
Of course, no matter what someone is plotting in the dark, the most important thing for many escort agencies is to solve the traffic problem first. After finally returning to the original main road, they encountered a situation where driving was impossible. Lu Yunyou and the others were all depressed.
During the previous detour, due to taking turns to open the road, everyone who was already a little tired did not want to work hard to repair the road. After pulling the car out of the trap, everyone gathered together again to rest and wait for Hong Ying's further instructions.
There are still dense forests on both sides of the road that cannot be driven, and there are even ravines on both sides. It is impossible to even go around it. It has to be said that the bandits are very good at choosing the road section.
If they don't want to wait where they are, everyone will either have to put in more effort to repair the road, or find a suitable location to take a detour as before, but either way it will take some time.
When everyone was worried about the current situation, some people had already thought that other escort agencies might have encountered similar situations. Not surprisingly, those teams should also choose to take a detour, but the area of the forest area is too large, in case they go wrong. road, some teams may not be able to return to their original route at all, or even be directly attacked by bandits.
All in all, the repeated obstacles have made everyone feel that they are getting farther and farther away from the surrounding teams and the situation is becoming more and more dangerous. The relaxed mood when they just left the inn has long since disappeared, replaced by worries about the unknown situation. For two days, Hong Ying had been asking Ling Yun and others to explore the road ahead, but those people were able to set up roadblocks in advance without Ling Yun and others noticing, which meant that they knew their whereabouts very well.
When the path was blocked by those corpses of ferocious beasts for the first time, it might be said that the bandits were not targeting them alone, but now that they were in trouble again, everyone felt like they were being targeted.
While everyone was worried about the current situation, Ling Yun and others had been found by Zou Cheng. After everyone gathered together, Hong Ying was ready to announce a new decision.
In fact, there were not many choices before them. For the safety of the team, Hong Ying had to consider carefully.
Currently, they have three options: one is to retreat and find a new route to take a detour; the other is to wait for other escorts to come over; the third is to repair the section of road ahead.
Relatively speaking, the second method is the safest, but no one can be sure how long it will take. As for the third method, which is time-consuming and laborious, they have already walked for a day. If they continue to work hard to build the road, Hong Ying is worried that they will be busy. Sometimes bandits suddenly rush out and kill them by surprise.
"Rest where you are. If no other team comes before dark, we will return the same way tomorrow morning and find a suitable route again." After careful consideration, Hong Ying finally decided that they might have to make another detour.
"Yes," everyone had no objections to Hong Ying's decision. After taking a break for a while, everyone started to light a fire and cook. For dinner, they ate dry food bought from the inn and some cooked meat. Because of today's experience, during the meal, Many people were not in the mood for small talk, and the meal took only half as long as usual.
After eating, everyone continued to discuss the safety of the team until night.
The evening breeze blew slowly, blowing on his face through the car window. The cool feeling made people more awake. Ever since he returned to the car after dinner, Lu Yunyou didn't feel sleepy at all. What surprised him was that there was no sleepiness around him tonight. A strange sound came.
But he didn't know when, he always had a bad premonition deep in his heart. That feeling made him more and more confused. In his random thoughts, he only thought that no matter what kind of trouble he would encounter next, he was worried about it now. It’s useless, it’s better to think about how to deal with the trouble in advance.
After continuing to think for a while, Lu Yunyou felt that if he really encountered bandits, there would be no other option except fighting with those bandits. He only hoped that they would not encounter too many bandits at once, otherwise they might not even have a chance to resist. No.
After thinking about it, Lu Yunyou once again realized that escorting escorts was not easy. As Zhang Yuan and others usually said, everything is full of dangers. Even if you are prepared to deal with all kinds of troubles, the hidden crises will still make people feel uneasy. The more you think about it, the more dangerous it is. The more you do, the less you know what to do.
Time passed little by little, and after midnight, the surroundings became even quieter. Except for the snoring of some people, Lu Yunyou could not hear any other movement outside. Unable to fall asleep for a long time, he had to meditate and exercise to adjust his physical condition.
In the past few days, under the careful guidance of others, his strength has improved a lot. Although his cultivation has not changed, if he encounters the original group of bandits with his current strength, he feels that he can face it calmly The siege of those people could even kill all the bandits by himself.
But having said that, he felt that most of the people in the team did not use their full strength when competing with him, so his progress may not be as great as he imagined. When he actually fights with others, he is still not sure whether he can ensure his own safety.
Just like that, I don't know how much time had passed, but when a hint of sleepiness hit me, Lu Yunyou stopped thinking about the things that bothered him and just rested against the car.
Early the next morning, because they could not wait for other teams to arrive, the team went back along the original road and retreated for more than ten miles, but still did not encounter other teams. During the return period, Hong Ying had asked Ling Yun and others to look for a place where they could drive. Route, if the trees in the forest are not too dense, the team can keep walking through the forest and wait for a while before returning to the main road.
By the time Ling Yun and the others roughly determined a route they could drive on, half a day had passed. Surprisingly, no other team was catching up from behind. Logically speaking, they left ruts when they detoured from the area with the carrion. There should be many teams following behind, but the fact is that none of them have been encountered, which makes everyone have a bad feeling.
It may be more dangerous to go forward, but there is no other team behind to catch up. It may be because their retreat has been cut off. The best way now is to find another way out for the team to return to the main road as soon as possible, and then pursue them as soon as possible. It was wise to join the team in front, so after Ling Yun and the others confirmed that there were routes to go on both the left and right, Hong Ying planned to continue taking a detour.
After setting off again, everyone became extremely vigilant. Those who were supposed to explore the road ahead did not leave the team for the time being. The convoy traveled normally along the marks left by Ling Yun and others in advance. The convoy is now located a few meters away from the rear post station. The journey of nearly two hundred miles can be said to be without a village in front or a store in the back. If there are really bandits ambushing them, it must be in this area. Considering this, everyone is ready to fight at any time.
Surprisingly, everything went smoothly after half a day. Not only did they not encounter a single bandit, they didn't even encounter a single vicious beast. In this wilderness, vicious beasts are actually relatively common, but they didn't encounter any of them. As for half a day later, everyone found it unbelievable.
After returning to the main road again, everyone gradually relaxed and walked for more than ten miles. Seeing that it was getting late, Hong Ying stopped the convoy.
By the time they were having dinner, groups of three or three gathered together and chatted non-stop. There were only four or five hundred miles left to Dilong City. To everyone, everything seemed to be developing in a good direction. As long as they could catch up with the team in front, they would be able to It was completely safe, so there were many topics for everyone to discuss tonight. In the past three days, tonight was probably the busiest night, and everyone had the most fun.
However, due to two consecutive detours, they had actually delayed their trip for a day. However, in order to stabilize the confidence of the personnel, Hong Ying could only talk about the situation in a positive direction.
At night, because they were resting on the main road, everyone was no longer too worried about encountering emergencies while resting. There was constant snoring around the vehicles.
I don't know how much time had passed, but a rustling sound suddenly came, slight but continuous. The sound continued to disturb people who were not sleeping deeply, and woke up one after another.
"Everyone, wake up, there is a situation outside." Lu Yunyou, who had just woken up, was just about to pay attention to what was going on outside. Someone outside the carriage suddenly opened the curtain and shouted into the car. The sound was not loud, but it was enough to keep the inside of the carriage alert. Everyone woke up one after another.
"What's going on?" Then, Fang Ting, who had just woken up, asked in a low voice.
"You guys get out of the car first," the people outside didn't explain much, as if they didn't know the specific situation yet, so they just reminded everyone to get out of the car.
