There was a heart-wrenching sound of rubber tires scraping against the ground from far and near in the depths of the tunnel. The sound of gunshots continued and they were rapidly approaching in their direction.

The moment Wen Renxiao finished speaking, Yu Jinlian's expression suddenly changed, he turned around and ran towards the car, waving wildly to the people around him and yelling, "Get in the car! Back up! Quick!"

Within a minute, all the vehicles began to move backwards. Large cargo vehicles have longer trunks, making it much more difficult to turn around than other types of vehicles. Yu Jinlian immediately ordered over the intercom, "Don't turn around, don't turn around! Just go straight!" Reverse, the car in front of you, don’t rush, listen to my command!”

The off-road vehicle moved backwards in a curve, and Yu Jinlian reached the end of the line. After watching the car at the back backing out for twenty meters, he freed up one hand to hold the intercom and notify the car in front. Move back.

A long queue of more than 100 meters moved neatly back for a long distance. The car in front was about to stop. Two white lights shot out from the tunnel in the distance. The engine roared. The car where Wen Renxiao was sitting was carrying a car full of passengers. The black creature in the windshield rushed out from inside. At the same time, Ye Buqing's eyes caught a few scattered bats that came out of the tunnel. They flapped their wings and followed them less than ten meters before flying back with a scream.

Wen Renxiao's car was driving at a high speed, and the bats piled up on the front windshield were broken open by the wind, finally revealing the embarrassed faces of the people in the car.

Passing a hundred meters past the convoy on the roadside, Wen Renxiao shook off the things on the car and returned to the end of the convoy again.

When the off-road car door opened, Yang Kaitai was covered in sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water, and even his hair was stuck to his forehead.

Most of the people in their car were like this, as if they had experienced a high temperature and were soaked to the skin.

"What's going on? Are there mutated bats inside?" Yu Jinlian asked.

Wen Renxiao was wiping the sweat on his palms with a car-cleaning rag. He nodded slightly, took a sip from the water glass next to his seat, and explained the situation inside.

"There was a large nest of mutated bats inside, and there was a kind of heat-generating powder on their bodies. Not long after we entered, the car lights attracted them. When they attached to our body, the temperature of the whole car increased. We had no choice but to We can only withdraw first."

"Did the light attract them?" Ye Buqing frowned, "But just after they chased them out, they flew back quickly when they saw the light. Are they photophobic or phototactic?"

"I don't know yet. We may need to walk in a few times." Wen Renxiao raised his head and looked at Ye Buqing.

"You guys have a rest, Yu Jinlian and I will go in later." Ye Buqing said.

Normally, bats do respond to strong light because their vision is relatively weak. Bats may feel uncomfortable or frightened when encountering bright environments, such as strong lights or sunlight.

Five minutes later, Ye Buqing and Yu Jinlian entered the tunnel in the same car.

One or two hundred meters away from the entrance, everything was calm in front of him. Yu Jinlian only turned on the low beam and tried not to stimulate the mutated creatures in the tunnel. However, Ye Buqing could still hear some sporadic screams and flapping wings coming from the front. The noise coming from time to time.

As they rounded the corner, the headlights of the car swept across a mottled 500-meter sign on the wall. Ye Buqing stared straight ahead. Yu Jinlian was also cautious, not to crush the dead branches on the ground, and kept the quietest state to pass quickly.

Yu Jinlian grabbed the intercom and said doubtfully to Wen Renxiao on the other end, "Captain, we came in. We didn't see anything along the way."

"Nothing?" Wen Renxiao's voice was very soft. After hearing Yu Jinlian's affirmative reply, he said, "I understand, you go through first, and don't look back after passing the tunnel."

"Hello? Wen Renxiao? I'm Ye Buqing. Let me tell you that we didn't turn on the headlights when we passed. We went slowly the whole way. Also, we avoided the branches on the ground and didn't make any big noise." Ye Buqing continued. Go over the intercom and say.

"Understood, please be careful."

After another five minutes, Ye Buqing and Yu Jinlian caught a glimpse of the light ahead, and they reached the end of the tunnel.

Miraculously, not a single bat emerged as they made their way through the tunnel, or at best flew high above their vehicle.

Yu Jinlian parked his car on the side of the road and informed Wen Renxiao on the opposite side that there was no problem with the tunnel and the road was smooth.

Half an hour later, the entire convoy passed through the tunnel. Wen Renxiao's car ended up at the back, and the group continued to move forward.

"Why don't we have any problems this time?" Yang Kaitai asked on the other end of the intercom.

"It's okay. You have to be chased by bats to feel comfortable, right?" Yu Jinlian scolded Yang Kaitai, but he was his own child after all. After scolding, he explained to Yang Kaitai, "It was too noisy when you went in." It was so big that it scared the mutated bats, so they rushed towards you. Change the lights behind you and drive slowly, they simply ignored our presence."

"Oh." Yang Kaitai nodded repeatedly, but he didn't think about whether Yu Jinlian could really see it through the intercom.

What Yu Jinlian said was the result of his and Ye Buqing's speculation. During this escorting of supplies, the biggest danger on the road did not come from people, but from mutated animals.

They have captured a lot of mutant animals at the Jiangshi base and sent them to the laboratory, but there are always strange creatures in the world that they don't understand.

Unknown means there is uncertainty, and uncertainty is often the biggest hidden danger.

In the afternoon, the excitement when setting off had already been wiped out by the accident in the tunnel. Yu Jinlian and Ye Buqing were at the end of the convoy. Yu Jinlian held the steering wheel steady and stared at the rear of the car in front of him.

"There is a flat slope ahead, let's rest there." Wen Renxiao's voice came from the intercom.

"Received." Yu Jinlian replied.

After what happened just now, everyone had to be more cautious when getting off the car this time. There were about a hundred people, which was not too many, but it was not too few either. It would take more time to get together to eat. Wen Renxiao led the team Divided into groups of ten, their team was on the outside of the team, watching the surrounding movements while waiting for the rice to be heated.

There were many people coming out this time, so Ye Buqing didn't prepare freshly cooked meat like last time, but fortunately the temperature was much higher now, and the lunch boxes he bought didn't get cold so easily. Each car had two boxes, which would at least be enough for the first day. food issues.

There is a pot of water on the windproof stove. After it is half boiled, the lunch box is soaked in to heat it roughly. When it is taken out, the outer layer of rice will not be cold and hard. The others started eating, and Ye Buqing also opened her own portion. She ate the same as everyone else in the team, without any exception. After taking a few bites, the outer layer of rice was hot, but the innermost piece was still there. It's cold.

She and Yu Jinlian ate some biscuits and other snacks in the car, so she ate some of the lunch boxes. The ones she couldn't finish were walked aside and put away in the warehouse. When she went back, she heard Yang Xuan asking Wen Renxiao asked, "How far is it to Yangkai Base?"

Along the way, they were going to some bases on the road to load supplies, and the first stop was the Yangkai base.

Ye Buqing's focus is different from theirs. She is more concerned about when she can cross provinces. The last time she went to Hailin to find Qi Hao's parents, she went south, but this time she went north. There should be a lot of territory that can be unlocked.

"There's still more than an hour left. We'll leave after loading. We won't stay overnight." Wen Renxiao took big mouthfuls of rice, and even the cold and cakey inside didn't care about poking it open with chopsticks and pulling it into his mouth.

"How long until we leave the province?" Ye Buqing walked over and asked, pouring a shallow layer of hot water into Wen Renxiao's lunch box, screwing on the bottle cap after pouring, and squatting down next to him in a natural manner.

"..." Wen Renxiao paused for two seconds, picked up the lunch box and took a sip of the hot drink. He pointed at a stone tablet in front of him with chopsticks whose contents could not be seen clearly.

"You go there, take another step, and you're out of the province."
