Chapter 60: Departure!
The next morningβ
"Ye Chu, it's only six o'clock now, won't it be too early for us to go now?" Xie Lingchen was woken up by Ye Chu in his sleep and told him to go to the station of the Dingze caravan immediately.
"No, because there are too many of us, it is easy to attract attention, so let's hurry over while there are fewer people now." Ye Chu explained.
"Okay then, I'll contact the Dingze caravan first, and you wake up the children." As he spoke, Xie Lingchen quickly got up, picked up the communicator on the side and dialed the phone of the Dingze caravan.
Seven minutes later, Ye Chu also walked out of the various rooms, and said, "The children are already tidying up, how are you doing here?" β
"No problem, the Dingze caravan has contacted a separate car, let's just go over directly." Xie Lingchen nodded.
The two military off-road vehicles were full of people, turning around in the crowded neighborhood, and from time to time they scratched the goods on some roadside stalls, seeing that Ye Chu and the others did not stop to apologize, the owners of these roadside stalls immediately began to scold, Ye Chu and Xie Lingchen didn't care about this.
Twenty minutes later, Ye Chu and Xie Lingchen had already arrived at the temporary station of the Dingze caravan.
As soon as he arrived, the person who was in charge of receiving the companions yesterday immediately walked up.
"Despicable Grammond, the leader of this companion team, you can come to me for anything." Seeing Xie Lingchen bring so many children over, Graymond's eyelids couldn't help jumping, at first, Grammond thought that Xie Lingchen's friend was the same age as him.
Now, the only person who looks like Xie Lingchen's friend is the young man next to him.
"Hello, Mr. Greymond, this is my friend - Ye Yin!" Xie Lingchen knew that Ye Chu's identity was too sensitive, and Ye Chu himself didn't like to talk to outsiders, let alone let him play official with others.
Before he came, Ye Chu told Xie Lingchen that if he needed to introduce him to others, just say that his name was Ye Yin, and the name Ye Chu was equally sensitive, although Ye Chu was the Holy Son of the Human Race, but the name "Ye Chu" was not.
In such a place, there is hardly anyone who connects the two.
However, Ye Chu still chose to use a pseudonym with the attitude that more things are better than less.
"Luckily!" Grammond said with a slight smile.
Ye Chu didn't reply, but just smiled back.
"Mr. Greymond, where's the car we want?" Xie Lingchen asked bluntly.
"It's ready, please follow me."
Gray Meng led Ye Chu and the others to a corner, there was a medium-sized military truck, it was hidden, outsiders could not see the scene inside the car, and the people in the truck could see the scene outside the car through the window.
"The conditions in Fort Savia are too poor and the time is tight, so we can only get this car, I hope you forgive me." Gray said apologetically.
"No, Mr. Greymond, this is already good, thank you and your caravan for your help!"
Ye Chu beckoned Chen Yan and the children to get into the car, Xie Lingchen and Gray Meng chatted casually again, and after a while, Gray Meng found a reason to leave.
After everyone got into the car, Ye Chu said: "If there is nothing special, it's best not to go out from now on, I know it may be boring, but let's bear with it first, just get to Los Angeles." β
There were still ten minutes before eight o'clock in the morning, and Ye Chu and they could hear the shouts of some staff outside the car, and they gradually became lively.
At eight o'clock, the car started, and through the window, Ye Chu could see the convoy gradually driving out of Fort Savia.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In this way, the convoy drove safely for more than five hours, covered about one-fortieth of the distance, and initially entered the real wilderness.
After another two hours, Ye Chu and the others, who were napping, were awakened by a noisy shout.
"The captain has an order, all the members of the second group and the third group gather, and the second group and all the members of the third group gather! About 200 Steppenwolves have been found ahead, please go and exterminate them! β
Immediately after, Ye Chu saw more than two dozen heavily armed people walking out of a car, each of whom had a set of exoskeleton armor.
They are members of the second team, and generally speaking, it is the responsibility of the second team and the third team to clear the roadblocks that are dangerous below the S level.
As for the first team, they are only responsible for roadblocks that are more dangerous than the S-class.
As far as the current more than 200 Steppenwolves are concerned, they are at most an A-class.
A few minutes later, the entire convoy stopped, and more than 200 Steppenwolves could be clearly seen roaring!
Ye Chu watched with great interest as the members of the second team went out to fight, and he was looking forward to the Dingze caravan's method of fighting.
He wasn't worried at all that these Steppenwolves would break through the Dingze caravan, in fact, everyone here wasn't worried, the Dingze caravan could be famous in more than a dozen large cities, and the power was naturally not small.
The members of the second team didn't wait for Steppenwolf to rush too close, they directly took the initiative to attack Steppenwolf's team!
Ye Chu couldn't help but exclaim, he was thinking about what he would do if he was the commander, but there was one thing that he directly ruled out, that is, to take the initiative.
Whether it is a persistent battle or a protracted battle, the final result must be that they win, but it is different to take the initiative to attack, it is difficult to guarantee a certain victory, Ye Chu is even more looking forward to it.
I saw that the members of the second team did not choose to withstand the impact of the first wave of Steppenwolf, they jumped directly, because of the assistance of exoskeleton armor, which made them jump five or six meters in one jump!
Stepping on the backs of these brutes, the members of the second team came to the "belly" of this Steppenwolf unit!
As soon as he landed, no one hesitated, and pulling out his melee weapon was a "mess" cut.
At this time, the Steppenwolves in front of them seemed to have given up on the second team, and they rushed straight towards the convoy.
At this time, three teams appeared, and there were about fifty people in the three teams, twenty of whom held a large iron shield in their hands, and more than twenty people held a jet-black submachine gun in their hands!
The remaining dozen or so people were bombardiers, and they had some bombs and explosives in their pockets, which were extremely powerful.
About a hundred Steppenwolf rushed towards the three teams, and the twenty or so people with big shields did not change their faces and erected the big shields on the path of Steppenwolf.
The twenty or so men with guns were in the second column, shooting between the gaps in the shields.
And the last bombardier is all at the end.
When the distance was about the same, the dozen or so bombardiers riveted their bombs and threw the bombs in their hands with all their might, and the forward of the Steppenwolf troops was severely hit, and the impact force was reduced a lot, and the people who erected large shields in front of them to resist the impact also reduced a lot of pressure.
Ten minutes later, the battlefield completely turned into a one-sided slaughter, and seventy or eighty people were killed without a single death to more than two hundred Steppenwolf.
The convoy ignited again, and the smell of blood floating in the area would quickly spread, making it difficult to attract some more powerful presence to continue.
Convoys don't march at night, and in the wasteland, the dangers of the night and the dangers of the day are two completely different levels!
Most carnivores sleep during the day and hunt at night, and the night does not inconvenience them in any way, and amazingly, the night gives them greater strength.
The convoy camped on the spot, set up tents in a few hours, and picked up the branches used to make a fire, the brothers of the Dingze caravan talked and laughed, but Ye Chu was not interested, he was always vigilant, for this kind of activity, there was a real danger in the place where the fire could not illuminate.
There is a demon in any shadow, it's just a difference in strength......
From time to time, a few wolf howls could be heard, but Ye Chu knew that these were not real threats, the real threats were high-level mutant beasts, they were not only strong in strength, but also had a certain amount of intelligence.
"Well, let's have a bite to eat!" Xie Lingchen handed Ye Chu a lunch box.
Ye Chu was not polite, and directly took the lunch box, people are iron rice and steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry!
"Ye Chu, have you thought about the future?" Xie Lingchen asked suddenly.
"Of course I've thought about it, as a Terran Holy Son, I have a lot to think about, and I have to plan my schedule for every day in the future!" Ye Chu replied as a matter of course.
"Then I ask you, if you put aside your identity as a holy son, have you ever thought about your future?"
This time, Ye Chu fell into deep thought, and two minutes later, he said: "Then I may only have an ordinary life, but when you say this, I find that aside from the identity of the Holy Son of the Human Race, I am just an ordinary person!" β
"Yes, we were born ordinary......" Xie Lingchen looked at the starry sky and said in a trance.
"Why did you suddenly ask such an esoteric question?" Ye Chu asked.
"It just occurred to me that if it weren't for you to help me, the future for me and my children would be dark, or rather...... There is no future left! β
"And now, we have a goal, we have a future, we know what to do next, everything is so orderly, I can't believe it!" Xie Lingchen sighed.
"Hehe, I can't believe it now? I don't think you will faint directly when you return to the Holy Star with me in the future! β
"Hahaha......" The two laughed heartily.
Thankfully, this night was safe and sound!
The next day, it was still eight o'clock in the morning, and after packing up the things, the convoy began to set off.
The size of the Dingze caravan is medium-sized, but its combat power is comparable to those ordinary large caravans, so although there are constantly short-eyed beasts to provoke along the way, there are no losses.

Call~
This is the sixtieth chapter of "The Grand Picture", and it's almost 180,000 words, and I know that my update speed and this number of words are a scum compared to those big guys.
But, that's already pretty good for me, really, I can't believe I can write so much (though some of it is watery)!
I still don't want to give up, even if I keep going on a single machine, I will finish my first book!!
