Chapter 20: On the Verge of Breaking Out

As dusk approached, Gu Yi and Li Chu came to the lake again. While others were pumping water, they drove the boat into the center of the lake.

Li Chu watched the signals on his laptop begin to appear. The three signal devices he placed on the other side were working normally. Every step must be strictly controlled, because this is the only way they can escape if something goes wrong. .

Although the speed of the boat is not fast, it is much faster to cross this lake with a straight line distance of 7 kilometers than to go by the road.

After driving for a while, Gu Yi stopped the boat. Li Chu began to retrieve the data after the engine was working. Gu Yi checked it. Everyone was always meticulous about these details.

Only in this way can we find a breakthrough immediately when a problem occurs. They must test it every day. Although the three annunciators are normal, the temperature contrast between day and night is a bit large. Although some protection measures have been installed, Annunciators can still malfunction, especially on this ship.

"There is something abnormal about the work data."

As Gu Yi said that, he immediately took out the tools and started to disassemble the ship's engine, and then began to check it. Sure enough, it was caused by low temperature. There was a problem with the internal circuit of the engine. Now he had to find a way. The best The way is to apply a layer of grease to reduce the temperature difference.

After Gu Yi took care of it for a while, the two continued to drive the boat for a while. Seeing that the situation was much better than before, the two went back directly.

At this time, the water was also full, and many people were happily talking about some things at work today.

"Mr. Gu Yi, how is the water quality?"

"It's not very optimistic. There are still many disease-causing bacteria and microorganisms in the water."

They said they were investigating the water quality, and these people believed it without any doubt. The two took the opportunity to put some prepared dry food in a hidden bush beside the boat.

Soon the group returned to the camp. Many people started to light fires to cook. Some places had been connected to electricity. Many people gathered under the lights. The grassland was bright because many lights were on. It is the front headlight of the car, so it is very bright.

After returning to the tent, everyone began to talk about some of today's situations. Gene and Deguna first expressed their concerns because they had indeed reached the point where they could not communicate.

This inability to communicate is caused by Jed and the others, and the attitude of Jed's men is already very revealing.

"Let's leave as soon as possible, within a day or two."

Li Chu said and everyone else nodded. They planned to leave this grassland quietly and would leave directly while it was dark.

The temperature has started to warm up in the past few days. Although it is cold in the mountains, it is at least much better than the rainy days a while ago.

In the evening, Witte and Guyi kept vigil. They had resumed vigil since last night, because the situation was becoming more and more unpredictable. At first, they asked about collecting weapons, but many people were obviously not happy.

And in the past few days, many people have had obvious disputes over the harvest of crops, because the people who reclaimed the land feel that others are not qualified to get so much, while others feel that they are responsible for other parts, and there are Reason to take so much.

There have been more and more disputes like this in the past few days. Human beings do indeed look exactly the same to the eight people as before. It is obvious that at this time, they seem to obey Jean and the others because they can indeed learn from Jean and the others. They have gained a lot of benefits from the knowledge they have mastered, but secretly they still refuse to obey and are always doing some little tricks.

After two days of observation, Deguna found that some people had begun to form small groups. They worked together and ate together. In this way, the land would not be far from chaos. She really wanted to develop a place. Come on, unless you have subordinates who are relatively close to you, it will be difficult.

The sky was very bright at night, and you could even see the stars. Werther looked around. He didn't know what to do. In fact, he had recently researched a lot of new things and felt that this place was indeed very suitable as the last refuge of mankind. However, This will all be over soon.

"I don't think there's any need to think about it."

Gu Yi said, and Witte looked at Gu Yi in surprise.

"I'm surprised that such words would come out of your mouth."

Gu Yi smiled.

"People always have to see the reality clearly. This place is not far from collapse because we don't have absolute control. They have started to go their own way. The next step is the distribution of farmland. No one wants to suffer. "The people who came first naturally want more points, and the people who come later feel that they have put in a lot of effort and don't want to suffer, especially Jade and the others."

Vittor nodded. In the past few days, Jed and his gang have acted like managers of this place. They basically talked to others as if they were giving orders. Jed and his gang are the most stable gang here, so naturally there are many people. All listen to them.

At this time, bursts of laughter came from not far away, where Jade and the others lived. The two of them were around the tent where they lived. Guyi raised his head and looked at the starry sky.

"It would have been nice if this disaster hadn't happened."

Witte hummed, and the two of them looked around warily. It looked like they were taking a walk, but Jed and his men were indeed staring at them. After a while, the two returned to the tent and continued to stare at a small window. .

Jean and the others were already asleep, and the weapons were within their reach. Once anything happened, they would run away as soon as possible. Everything had been packed, even if the food might not be enough, But as long as there are mountains and forests, it is not difficult to find some food.

In the distance, you can see some silvery things, which are some materials reflecting light. But after a while, Gu Yi realized that something was wrong, because the reflection looked extremely abnormal. He immediately took out the telescope and adjusted it. It became night vision mode, and Gu Yi was soon shocked.

"Wake everyone up, we need to leave now."

Soon the others woke up and everyone carried their bags. Gu Yi could clearly see many people appearing at the end of the road. They were all moving forward cautiously. They were definitely coming from the city at the foot of the mountain. Come up.

Everyone had such a premonition a few days ago, but this premonition came true. It was about 5 kilometers away from the lake. They began to leave the tent one after another. Jean took a look at the wine collected that day, and there was no Taken away, armed and out of the tent.

At this time, accompanied by a burst of gunshots that echoed through the night sky, the eight people started running slowly.

Gu Yi felt relieved now. He really did too much to test the boat and inspect the engine today, otherwise they would have been left out in the lake if something went wrong tonight.

Gunshots began to ring out fiercely. Many people woke up as if from a dream. Many people were holding weapons. Chaos began.

Jed held the gun angrily and looked at the people who were coming up on the road. He didn't expect that what Jean and the others said came true. Soon Jed led all his men to the jar house, because it was the only place here. Being able to cover for them, the entire grassland became chaotic, and some people ran away directly.

Jade knew very well that the only person who could do such a thing was Alan Hillman.

Soon the two parties came into contact, and the other party directly shouted.

"Put down your weapons. If you surrender, your lives will be spared."

Many people no longer resisted, because the people who came up were much better in terms of numbers and firepower. At this time, motorcycles with flashing lights started to move.

"Hand over those scientists and you will live."

Someone shouted next. After Jade hesitated, he gave up the resistance. After a while, under the light, Jade saw Allen.

"Long time no see, old friend."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Allen said with a smile.

"I just hope to invite those eight scientists to go to our city to help build it."

Soon Alan led Jed to Gene's tent. Jed was dumbfounded after entering. Gene and the others inside had already been empty. Thinking of the fact that Gene and the others were testing something by the lake these days. Jed immediately understood the matter about the ship. At the same time, he also realized that they should have a better place to go.

"Where did they go?"

Jade closed his eyes, thought for a moment and then said.

"By the lake, they would go through the center of the lake and then escape."

Immediately, Allen hurriedly arranged for people to ride motorcycles and drive cars towards the lake. Even if he chased him in such a dark night, it would be too difficult to chase him on the grassland, but the lake was a shortcut.

Soon there were people who usually went to fill up the water and were willing to lead the way. They knew where Gene and the others would go.

At this time, Gene and the others were still running hard. The eight of them were running very fast, and they found that their bodies were very relaxed, and there was no sense of weakness in running with a heavy load.

There was still less than 2 kilometers to go. The eight people looked at the sky behind them. It seemed that the situation had calmed down. However, the situation was not good because they saw many lights appearing on the grassland. The enemy had obviously brought motorcycles. The vehicle is the best means of transportation on the grassland.

"We're going to have to change our plans a little bit."

Deguna immediately spoke, and sure enough, the motorcycles began to approach after a while. Deguna and Jean moved to the left and right. The moment several motorcycles approached, the sniper rifles in their hands opened fire. Several shots were fired. After the gunfire, seven people fell off the motorcycle. They quickly grabbed the motorcycle and accelerated towards the lake.

But it was obvious that there were many people outside, and they probably wanted to surround them and start searching.

After arriving at the lake, Jean and the others quickly put their things on the boat, then started the boat directly and entered the lake smoothly. However, Gu Yi, who was driving the boat, did not go towards the other side of the lake, but towards the other side of the lake. We went to a place with dense trees on the left side of the lake.

The boat slowly sailed into the water plants, and quickly took cover. They could not be seen in the grass at all. Although it was a little wet and cold, it was best for the eight people to hide like this until tomorrow.

Because the ship was transporting some things, they were not as fast as cars, and the number of motorcycles on the other side was at least 100. There was an area without vegetation in the mountains, which was difficult for them to cross. of.

Moreover, the other party's cars also started to move out. They would be betrayed 100%. Sure enough, Deguna, who was holding a telescope after a while, saw several cars stopped at the water point 1 kilometer away from them.

Seven or eight motorcycles had already passed behind them. It seemed that these guys who were attacking had spent a lot of money to catch them. After thinking about it, the eight of them understood that it should be that guy Sanggu.

When the sky just got light, Allen got off a jeep and looked at the gray stone ground in front of him. There was a forest a few hundred meters away from here. There were his own people around, and he didn't find any clues.

Sang Gu was annoyed and stood aside, and Jed also felt a little incredible. Maybe they had a premonition of something last night, or saw something before, so they left early.

Allen looked around. It was impossible for them to chase into the forest. If they went in, they might not be able to get out.

However, Allen felt that they didn't run far at this time. They ran on foot. Although they killed 7 of them and seized the motorcycles in the middle, those motorcycles did not come here, but went to the lake. Allen looked at the calm lake. The lake was very large, and there were many places around with dense water plants.

"Maybe they are still here."

Allen laughed. The guys were really smart. Allen had to admire this, but what surprised Allen the most was that he saw the situation last night. He really couldn't let them go. Allen immediately asked his men to search along the lake.

"How about we work together and run this place, Mr. Jed Angus?"

Jed thought for a moment and nodded.

"Aren't you going back to the city?"

Alan shook his head.

"There will be nothing if we go back. We must build the land here."

Alan stretched out his hand and Jed held it. Then Alan gestured to return the weapon to Jed.

Jed was tangled at this time. He really thought wrong about Gene and the others. The bottle of wine confiscated that day was still there. It turned out that he thought too much. He hoped that time could go back. Even if he found Gene and the others now, I'm afraid they would definitely resist and would not surrender.

This land could not be built without them.

After a few hours, someone came to report that they had found the boat on the lake, which was empty.

Alan and Jide rode their motorcycles separately and arrived at the place soon. The grass had been cut, but it could be seen that everything on the boat was empty.

They also found three flashing lights in some places. Allen took a look and thought they were probably signal transmitters. He looked at the grassland on the left and sighed.

"We missed the best time to chase them. They are really too smart. I hope we can have a good talk with them if we meet them in the future."
