NOVEL WEB Chapter 523: Ambush the Corpse Speaker
Rustle rustle——
A summer breeze came, brushing the grass, cooling and refreshing everyone present.
Under the scorching heat, everyone's mood had just found some relief.
Yet, no one moved.
Sweat dripped into Li Yu's eyes, causing some pain. He gently wiped it away with his arm, his gaze fixed on the road to the left.
They had been waiting here for almost half an hour.
Everyone grew somewhat impatient, but without Li Yu's command, no one dared to move prematurely.
Rumble rumble——
Suddenly, Li Yu, who was laying on a small hill, pressed his ear to the ground and immediately heard a rumbling sound.
He looked up, faintly hearing the roar of engines.
Just as he was about to grab the walkie-talkie to contact Yang Tianlong, who was nearest to the location,
Yang Tianlong's voice came through the headset: "Attention all, twenty vehicles are approaching our location, attention all."
Twenty vehicles!
Hiss!
Everyone gasped in cool air, surprised by the number of enemies.
Even if there were only four people in each vehicle, there would be eighty enemies.
Li Yu pondered for a moment, then spoke to Yang Tianlong:
"Confirm if among these people are those we saw last night. Also, check out their features, weapons, and equipment. Observe carefully."
Li Yu's tone was serious but not tense.
Even if there were many enemies, once they entered the encirclement, they couldn't escape.
They controlled the advantageous terrain and had appropriate equipment; Li Yu believed whether it was a hundred or two hundred people entering here,
they couldn't escape either.
Yang Tianlong looked towards the highway about 2 kilometers away using the telescope.
He hid in a large tree 20 meters away from the roadside, climbed up to 10 meters high, where he could see a great distance.
Back at Corpse Speaker's location.
Ma Jun cursed the driver frustratingly: "On such a hot day, I told you to lower the air conditioning, can't you understand me?"
"The boss, this is the lowest setting already; the car was previously soaked in a heavy rain, so it has aged quite a bit," the driver explained patiently under the scolding from Ma Jun.
"Why wouldn't you find a car that hasn't been soaked?" Ma Jun snapped.
The driver, feeling somewhat innocent, said, "Well, boss, you were the one who wanted this car because it looked more... imposing."
Ma Jun kicked the windshield furiously, cursing, "Damn it, I didn't know this car was water-soaked at that time."
Feeling it was futile to explain to him, in extreme helplessness,
he added, "Can't communicate with you, hey you, come sit here. Stop the car; I want to switch to the vehicle behind."
The squad leader, hearing his boss couldn't recall his name but knew he was being called as the boss had glanced at him a moment ago.
The driver reluctantly stopped the car, wiping the sweat from his forehead, the weather indeed being quite hot.
Thinking to himself that once back in Jinxian, he needed to switch to a different vehicle.
Ma Jun got out of the car and walked towards the car behind.
The people in this vehicle immediately gave up their seats, stating,
"Big brother, please have a seat, have some water."
Then, they handed Ma Jun a bottle of water.
After Ma Jun entered the rear vehicle, a breeze made him almost groan in comfort.
"Good, good, you lad, well done." Ma Jun took the water, looked at him appreciatively, and then sat in the middle.
The squad leader in the front vehicle took the seat Ma Jun had just vacated.
Sitting on the wet and still warm seat left by Ma Jun, the squad leader felt extremely uncomfortable.
So, he stood up, saw the sweat on the seat, looked around for something suitable to wipe it, and, gritting his teeth, wiped it with his sleeve.
...
On Yang Tianlong's side, he clearly saw their group stop the cars, the squad leader who was originally in the back moved to the front.
Through the telescope, Yang Tianlong clearly saw the face of the squad leader, who Li Tie had also seen through the drone in the air.
After confirming, Yang Tianlong immediately took out the walkie-talkie and said to everyone:
"I saw one of the people we encountered last night, they stopped the car, and someone got out from the co-driver's side and entered the back vehicle. I don't know what they're planning."
Li Yu, upon hearing this, pondered and said:
"Good, as long as it's confirmed it's them. Don't take any rash actions for now, just keep observing."
A few minutes later, Yang Tianlong saw the distant vehicles begin to move and reported:
"Attention all, the enemy's vehicles are moving now, they will arrive in about two minutes."
Rumble rumble——
The sound of the vehicles grew louder, and they were getting closer.
Everyone held their breaths, careful not to make any movements that could accidentally give away their position.
They had been lying in ambush for a long time and definitely couldn't afford to fail now.
Moreover, the enemy's numbers had exceeded their expectations.
One minute later, Yang Tianlong could see more clearly and said to everyone:
"Be careful, be careful, they have guns, they have guns!"
Li Yu's eyes flickered upon hearing this, realizing that the number of enemies and their possession of firearms were more than they had anticipated.
