Chapter 1383: Chapter 817: Typhoon Changes Course—This Damned Sense of Security!

The vehicles sped ahead, quickly catching up with Dapao and the others waiting in front.

After seeing the Unimog armored RV, Dapao and the others finally felt at ease.

The RV didn’t stop, continuing to drive forward.

Li Yu rolled down the window and shouted to Dapao and the others, "We’re too close to the Cross-river Bridge here; it’s not safe. Quickly get in the car and leave here first."

Everyone started their vehicles and proceeded forward in sequence.

Silence fell inside the vehicles.

Qingyang and Jackals, who had been hanging on the vehicle’s body earlier, also got inside the car.

The previous scenario was too perilous, and everyone was still caught up in the dangerous atmosphere, seemingly not having recovered yet.

Smoke curled inside the RV, drifting out through the windows.

Li Yu looked at Qingyang and said with a smile, "You’re quite skilled."

Qingyang, hearing this, looked up, unsure of how to respond, so he just shook his head with a smile.

Soon, they drove forward another dozen or so kilometers.

Away from densely populated areas.

Li Yu signaled to Li Gang to stop the car, then took out the walkie-talkie to contact everyone: "Rest here, Ju Tianrui, Luo, you guys check if anyone was left behind in the convoy."

"Okay."

"Understood."

At the Cross-river Bridge, zombies suddenly emerged from the water, catching them off guard.

If it weren’t for their sufficient firepower, an ordinary group of survivors might have been trapped there.

After crossing the Cross-river Bridge, they chose to stay away from rivers and lakes on the subsequent route.

This is one of the reasons they chose Xiu County as a transfer station.

Li Yu got out of the car and found the driver of the vehicle that had broken down on the bridge earlier.

This person was initially with Ju Tianrui.

"Why didn’t you move the car after it broke down?" Li Yu asked, frowning.

"Director Li, the car stalled and couldn’t start," the young man, with acne still on his face, said somewhat ashamed.

Li Yu sighed and said, "You need to be flexible. Even if it can’t start, can’t you have it towed by the car behind? In such a dangerous situation, you’re stuck in the middle. What if everyone gets trapped there?"

Li Yu’s consecutive questions made him realize the severity of the consequences.

If Jiu Ge hadn’t quickly run over from behind to repair the car, it would have been a major problem.

"I know I was wrong; I’ll be careful next time," he said, his face full of shame.

Li Yu, seeing this, didn’t press further. After all, it wasn’t his fault.

He just wasn’t flexible enough.

He then found Ju Tianrui to remind everyone of this incident, so they wouldn’t make the same foolish mistake again next time, learning to be flexible.

Afterwards, he saw Huang Zheng in a car behind.

So he walked up and asked, "Was the person who repaired the car on the bridge the same as yesterday’s?"

Huang Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, it was him; his name is Jiu Ge."

"Take me to see him," Li Yu said.

Huang Zheng led the way to the two cars behind. He opened the door and called Jiu Ge down.

Jiu Ge, seeing Huang Zheng, knew he was a team leader in the convoy, quickly got out of the car.

After getting out, he saw Li Yu standing by the car and quickly said, "Hello, Director Li."

Li Yu smiled and nodded at him, saying, "Brother, not bad; you fixed the car in just a few minutes."

Jiu Ge, a bit embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Fixing cars is just my old profession; it’s nothing."

Li Yu stepped forward and patted his shoulder, saying, "Well done."

Jiu Ge shuddered a bit, feeling somewhat flattered.

This Director Li felt completely different from the rumored image, calling me brother and even kindly patting my shoulder.

Was this the same Butcher who ordered heads to be hung at the entrance of the wall back then?

The rumors misled me! Director Li is such a good person.

Later, he said to Li Tie, "Calculate his points, use the Level Four points quota, and give him the corresponding food."

Li Tie nodded immediately, then said to Jiu Ge, "I’ll find you later."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he took one more look at Jiu Ge and left.

Jiu Ge stared blankly at Li Yu’s departing figure, too late to even express gratitude.

For a moment.

He thought to himself: If anyone says Director Li is aggressive again, I’ll definitely punch them.

Director Li has no airs at all; he treats a small person like me so well, let alone...

After Luo’s inspection, he found that no one or goods were lost in the convoy, everything intact.

Li Yu, hearing this news, let out a slight sigh of relief.

If someone had been left behind, it would be extremely troublesome.

Today was rushed; they had to reach Xiu County before sunset.

Plus, it would take some time to find a suitable spot to set up camp or a transfer station.

After staying by the roadside for about twenty minutes, everyone set off again.

During the journey, the convoy maintained formation, the incident just now alerted everyone, keeping them from relaxing their vigilance.

Initially, many in the team felt they were invincible with such a large group and powerful firepower.

But the incident at the Cross-river Bridge made them realize that if caught in a zombie tide, they’d be finished just the same.

The convoy maintained a speed of thirty-five kilometers per hour, moving forward.

After leaving Huangshi, they arrived at Huangshi.

Continuing forward, they entered the Gansheng territory.

Gansheng is mostly mountainous, forming a long strip shape.

The northern part is centered around Poyang Lake, mainly plains, but the east, west, and south directions are mostly mountainous.
