Chapter 72: Carrying Overnight (1)
Shiyang Town is not far from Xibu settlement, only about twenty kilometers. Li Ba drove all the way, and at around 4:30, he returned to the city and came to the door of his own material business.
The car just stopped. Zhou Yan brought the sisters and the big little Fang to greet him.
"Boss, this is your material business...well, not bad, not bad."
Yang Jian quickly entered the role and called Li Ba as the "boss". He commented on Fengcheng Business Company, but his thief eyes glanced at Zhou Yan and the sisters. I don't know whether it was praising Li Ba's business company or targeting three women.
"That's my woman in the middle, don't look at her wildly... I miss women, there are so many here, as long as you love me!"
Li Ba warned. Yang Jian touched his nose with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Boss lady!"
When Zhou Yan walked over, Yang Jian greeted him with a smile on his face and introduced himself.
Li Ba shook his head for the guy who was familiar with this person. Seeing that he and Li Ba came back, Zhou Yan called him the boss lady again at this moment. She thought that she should be the newly accepted employee of Li Ba, so she would also be polite to greet him.
Wow—
Li Ba lifted up the rain cloth covering the carriage and dragged the mutant cat's body down. Although the mutant cat's flesh and blood were sucked dry by the ghost crying vine, the skeleton was still there, looking like a black panther, hideous and terrifying.
When Zhou Yan and others saw it, they all took a breath. Not far away, there were walking passers-by and shop customers. At this moment, they all looked shocked when they saw Li Ba carrying a mutant beast.
“Put it into the warehouse!”
Li Ba handed over the mutant cat's corpse to Da Fang Xiaofang, and put it in the warehouse for strict storage. Not to mention, the crystal core of this mutant cat can be exchanged for three evolutionary potions from the research institute and sold on the market, worth 700,000 to 800,000 kilograms of food coupons.
This is not a small amount!
"I got a good harvest this time!"
Zhou Yan came over, took out a tissue, and wiped away the dust on Li Ba's face. Her movements were gentle, like a virtuous young wife, which made Li Ba feel warmer.
"Are you injured?"
Seeing Li Ba's clothes on his shoulders break and blood was left, Zhou Yan's body trembled, and her face was full of concern.
"Oh, I've suffered some minor injuries, it's okay!"
Li Ba said with a smile, looking indifferent. Then, he lowered his head and whispered in Zhou Yan's ear: "This time the harvest is quite large, and there are millions of kilograms of food coupons together. Yan Yan, just wait to count the food coupons at home!"
After hearing this, Zhou Yan's face was full of surprises.
"Are the people of Shitou and Feng Shao at home?"
"Everything is here! Young Master Feng's injury has healed a lot. He came over with a crutch this morning and said he would like to thank you!"
Li Ba nodded. Then, he directly greeted Yang Jian, who was chatting with his sisters, and went to the villa.
Passing through the store, I came to the villa behind. A sound of "hum and haha" came to my ears. Li Ba looked at him and saw that there were two more iron piles in the yard of the villa where he lived, wrapped with cloth. Nen and Liang Jie were lifting their feet and kicking their legs, practicing enthusiastically.
Zhao Hongyun stood beside him, giving advice from time to time, with a harsh expression and serious smile.
Li Ba nodded secretly. Judging from the postures of the two little guys punching and legs, he found a master for them, which was very tricky.
"Uncle Li!"
The ghost was sharp-eyed and saw Li Ba coming back, he immediately jumped over to meet him. Liang Jie and Zhao Hongyun also followed.
"Girl, I've been practicing very well these two days!"
Li Ba touched Yu'er's little head, and his face was full of praise.
The lover was very happy to be praised by Uncle Li. The same is true for Liang Jie.
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Ba said to Zhao Hongyun.
"They have strong physique and I believe they will get started soon." Zhao Hongyun said respectfully. There was something hidden in his words.
Of course, Li Ba knew that the physique of Gui'er and Liang Jie's evolutionary people could not be hidden from Zhao Hongyun. He didn't say much, and greeted him: "There is a big job to do, you all come with me." After that, the group walked towards Shi Toufeng Xiaoyang's residence.
Since Feng Xiaoyang was injured, his team and Shi Tou's team have not left the city to search for supplies in the past two days. After hearing the reports from his brothers, Li Ba came over and went out to greet him.
Feng Xiaoyang was seriously injured. Although he had room for treatment, he could not recover after a few days of rest. The person who was Piansheng couldn't help but feel that he was too bored to sleep, so he asked someone to get a pair of crutches and limped out.
When he saw Li Ba, Feng Xiaoyang looked grateful: "Lao Li, thank you!" He had said this sentence many times. However, every time he saw Li Ba, he couldn't help but repeat it.
He is a wind-type evolver, and his skills are all concentrated on his legs. If he loses one leg, it is like a huge reduction in strength.
This is unbearable for Feng Xiaoyang, who looks unruly and arrogant on the outside!
Therefore, Li Ba's treatment of one leg was equivalent to saving a life. The gratitude for Li Ba is no longer described.
"Young Master Feng, everyone is brother. Don't keep the word "Xie" all day long. It's so awkward!" Li Ba laughed.
"Lao Li is right!"
Shi Tou smiled generously and greeted Li Ba and others in the house enthusiastically.
The villas of Zhou Yan’s family are all the same, and the hall is at the entrance. After sitting down, someone immediately brought a hot tea and snacks.
"I'm here this time, I'll discuss with you two of you with important matters!"
Li Ba was straight to the point and said: "I left the city yesterday and found a batch of supplies in Shiyang Town. I wanted to lend them to you brothers and transport them back overnight."
"Shiyang Town!"
Shi Tou Feng Xiaoyang was surprised when he heard this.
"Shiyang Town has been wiped out by the official and more than a dozen mercenary teams, and we have also participated. The supplies inside are basically transported out... Lao Li, where did you get these supplies?" Shi Tou expressed his doubts.
"Brother, even in the abandoned land, there are still missing materials and no one has discovered them."
Li Ba didn't speak. Yang Jian interrupted.
"This one is..." Shi Tou looked at him and felt familiar.
"Yang Jian is in the market and has been living a life in the market." Yang Jian laughed and introduced himself.
"I know you!"
Feng Xiaoyang recognized Yang Jian, pointed at him and said with a smile: "Brother, you still have a reputation in the market. You don't have to be with each other or partner. You can often get tight supplies."
"Excessive award, ex-price."
Yang Jian said a few words of humility, but his face was full of pride.
After confirming that there were supplies, Shi Tou and Feng Xiaoyang immediately arranged personnel and prepared for delivery.
"Lao Li, our two families have thirty-eight brothers and nineteen pickup trucks... Do you see enough?"
"Well, there are fewer people and not enough cars."
Li Ba replied after a moment of contemplation. There are at least four hundred wine tanks in the wine cellar, and up to three can be placed in the back of the pickup truck. The current human-hand vehicles may be able to complete the trip. This takes too much time and will add a lot of variables.
"There is a company specializing in transporting materials in the city. They have several large trucks. The boss has a good relationship with me... Let's do this, I'll send someone to invite them, and I should be able to transport all the materials back in one go!"
Shitou has some connections, so he immediately solved this problem.
Afterwards, after preparations were made, Shi Tou brought the two teams of troops to move out. Feng Xiaoyang was injured, so he could only stay at home.
It's less than six o'clock.
The sun had just set. With the roar of engines, pickup trucks drove out of the city. Immediately afterwards, there were six or seven large trucks. The queues were lined up and set off in a vast way.
At this time, when other mercenary teams returned and met on the way, they felt strange. Experienced people speculated in their hearts that this must be another team in the city, and found a large amount of supplies and moved them at night.
There is an unwritten rule for the mercenary team in the city. No matter which team finds materials, other mercenary groups must not follow during the transportation process. Otherwise, once discovered, it will be a situation that will last forever.
Therefore, the convoy of Li Ba was very powerful, which attracted many people's curiosity. However, no one peeked and followed. The reason was that on the pickup truck, all the fully equipped mercenaries were ready to fight with guns. The powerful firepower and the strength they showed were enough to shock those who were ill-behaved.
"Lao Li, although the zombies in Shiyang Town have been wiped out once, the remaining number is still quite large... It is very dangerous for you to search for supplies by yourself!"
At the front of the convoy, Li Ba drove a jeep to lead the way. Shi Tou sat in the co-pilot, Liang Jie, Yang Jian and Zhao Hongyun, four of them were sitting in the back row. At this moment, Shi Tou was smoking a cigarette and expressed his doubts.
Li Ba smiled. At this moment, a zombie appeared in front of him, wandering from somewhere. When he saw the convoy, he rushed straight towards him without fear of death.
Zhao Hongyun, who was sitting in the back window, raised his muzzle and wanted to solve it. But at this moment, Li Ba put his left hand outside the window, raised it gently, and with a "swoosh", a vine shot out from his wrist, wrapping around like a poisonous python.
The zombies rushing towards him were suddenly wrapped in vines and were directly swept into the air. The next moment, under the strangulation of the vines, the body was split into pieces and thrown to the side of the road.
In this scene, except for Yang Jian, everyone in the car was dumbfounded and could not speak.
