Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 1148 - 721: Xiao Yu, Where Are the Jackals?
The three of them gathered around the footage that was captured, watching for a long time.
A few minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Their walkie-talkies all buzzed in unison: "Big Camphor Tree Base, this is Li Hongqian, I’ve now reached the national highway gas station and expect to arrive in two minutes."
"Third Uncle is back," Li Yu said with a tone of delight, holding the walkie-talkie as he walked out of the duty room.
Buzz——
A drone flew across the sky, controlled by Xiao Jun.
A minute later.
Accompanied by the roar of engines, Ant was driving the armored RV at the front, followed by a long convoy.
The gates swung open with a rumble.
Li Yu smiled, waving to Third Uncle and the others.
There were too many vehicles to park all at once in Weng City; besides, without a proper inspection, it wouldn’t be wise to drive straight into the First Outer City.
So Zhu Xiao and Guo Peng stopped some of the vehicles loaded with steel on the open ground between the base and the forest outside.
Soon, Third Uncle got out of the car.
Seeing Second Brother and Li Yu, he smiled.
"How was it, Third Brother? Was everything smooth?" Second Uncle looked at Third Uncle and asked.
Third Uncle briefly recounted some of the events that happened in Guang City, to which Second Uncle responded with some trepidation, "You should be more cautious in the future and not so reckless."
It was only Second Uncle and Li Yu’s father who dared to speak so candidly to Third Uncle like that.
Third Uncle didn’t reply, as he wasn’t in a position to argue with Second Uncle.
Li Yu knew of Third Uncle’s capabilities and was suddenly reminded of the person they were discussing earlier who was spying on the base.
So he immediately pulled Third Uncle along and dashed towards the wall.
After a few steps, he remembered that Old Qin and Ant were also former comrades of Third Uncle, both top-tier Kings of Soldiers, so they would likely have sharp instincts too.
Thinking that having more minds might yield more insights, he called for Old Qin and Ant as well.
Ant, upon being called, was a bit confused since he had just learned about some rules of the Big Camphor Tree from Zhu Xiao and the others.
For someone like him who was relatively new, was it really okay to go up the wall?
But since Li Yu, the leader of the base, had already called him, he happily followed.
Seeing Li Yu hurriedly pulling him towards the wall, Third Uncle said helplessly, "Xiao Yu, what do you need me for, and why are you calling all three of us up? What’s going on?"
As Li Yu walked towards the wall, he explained to the three behind him, "In the past two days at the base, a Peeping Tom appeared, hiding in the forest of the Third Outer City, sneaking around with unknown intentions.
The key thing is, after we discovered him, he was carrying a child, weighing at least fifty pounds, and ran off immediately.
At a distance of a hundred meters, Old Luo and the others chased but couldn’t catch up. Covering three kilometers carrying someone, in less than ten minutes, and in the complex terrain of the forest, my Uncle and I suspect that this person might be a Special Soldier. It’s definitely not simple. So, I wanted you guys to take a look to see if you could figure something out."
"Fifty pounds, three kilometers, sprinting in the forest, in less than ten minutes," Ant repeated a few times, shaking his head, "Doesn’t seem too hard, though."
At that moment, they had just reached the duty room, and Dapao, who happened to be walking out, overheard Ant’s low voice.
He was just about to mock whoever was boasting, but when he looked up and saw it was Third Uncle’s comrades.
The expression on his face was as if he’d eaten something foul.
Being Third Uncle’s comrades, it was no big deal.
After all, the squad led by Third Uncle used to be the most formidable Special Ops team.
Dapao greeted them and went down from the wall.
Second Uncle had him come down to help check the steel that was transported back, organize the logs, and collect weapons.
Inside the duty room, there were Uncle, Old Lv, and Li Tie, with Li Tie just about to get up and also head down the wall to help Dapao.
As he stood up, seeing Third Uncle and the others, he said, "Dad, Uncle Qin, Uncle Ant. Big Brother."
Li Yu didn’t respond to him, pointing to the big screen and said, "Come, show Third Uncle the footage from the drone you filmed that day."
Li Tie, hearing this, said, "Second Uncle asked me to help; I’ll let him know to avoid keeping him waiting."
Old Lv immediately stood up and said, "I’ll go; Li Tie, you stay and show the footage."
Old Lv, very perceptive, got up and went straight outside.
Seeing this, Li Tie didn’t say anything, swiftly pulling up the footage recorded that day.
"Fast forward to when that person is discovered and plays from the moment they start moving," Li Yu reminded Li Tie from the side.
So Li Tie quickly fast-forwarded to the scene where the person started running backward.
When the drone captured Xu Chengcai, he had already noticed the drone and turned, running into the forest.
So his face couldn’t be seen, and since he was carrying a child, along with the crown of trees blocking him, the drone, filming from above, couldn’t make out the person’s shape.
At first, Third Uncle didn’t recognize it was Xu Chengcai.
After a few seconds of the video playing.
Third Uncle squinted his eyes and said, "This person’s reaction is impressive."
A few seconds later, seeing the person’s running stride and evasive tactics, his eyes lit up.
Third Uncle exchanged a glance with Old Qin and Ant.
Seeing their expression, Li Yu felt they might have figured something out.
So he asked, "Third Uncle, what did you see?"
But before Third Uncle could respond, Old Qin pointed at that person and said suddenly, "Captain, Ant, don’t you feel a bit of familiarity from this person?"
Li Yu said, "Can’t see much now; the tree crowns are blocking. Tiezi, fast forward to that scene where they turn their head."
"Okay."
Li Tie fast-forwarded immediately.
Soon, it was fast-forwarded to the scene where the person turned their head.
The video was still playing, and it could be seen that the person turned, their hand empty one moment, a dagger appeared the next.
They glared at the drone with a murderous look, hesitated for a moment, then withdrew the dagger.
Upon seeing this, Third Uncle trembled slightly.
Old Qin’s mouth gaped wide open, big enough to fit a goose egg.
Ant was even more shocked, looking at the screen in amazement, exclaiming, "Whoa, Jackals!"
Third Uncle’s hand quivered slightly as he spoke to Li Tie while looking at the video still playing, "Rewind to just now, pause at the turning head scene, let’s have a look."
Li Tie was a bit confused, but he rarely saw his father with such an overwhelmed expression; the last time was when he encountered Old Qin.
With some guesses in mind, he quickly rewound and paused.
Seeing the paused screen, Third Uncle confidently said to Ant and Old Qin, "Yes, it’s that Jackals boy."
"I thought it was him too; look at that dagger, the design is so familiar, no one else uses that," Old Qin nodded, eyes filled with excitement and eagerness.
Ant paced back and forth, his face blossoming into a smile.
Third Uncle calmed down and said to Li Yu, "Xiao Yu, where’s Jackals now? Hmm, the person in the video, where are they now?"
........
OS:
It’s 7,000 words; I feel I need to get this out quickly.
Otherwise, it’ll be too late.
But rest assured, there’ll be another Chapter at midnight to finish this segment,
It’s too addictive to leave this storyline unfinished.
