Chapter 275: I’ve Met You Again
After suffering two losses in a row, being tricked again would have been embarrassingly naive. So, Gu Fan and his group decided to give up the game, acknowledging they were no match for the other side. Finally, professionals like Su Hui and Zhuo Hang demonstrated their expertise by quickly noticing they were being followed. Their strategy was to abandon their vehicle and all their supplies, carry only the essential items with them, travel light, and shake off Lin Xi’s group using the bustle of the crowds on the streets.
They then rented a minivan, everyone squeezed in, and they set off again.
Su Hui knew that their vehicle was already known to their adversaries, and they would encounter hindrances wherever they went—even if they stayed still, they could still be attacked. Therefore, they had to switch to a vehicle that the enemies didn’t recognize.
This strategy worked effectively. Gu Fan and his crew encountered no obstacles during their journey. At the same time, they tried their best to make up for the two days they’d wasted, even though it was quite challenging.
Three days later, they finally arrived at the town nearest to the Yuxueyun Mountain and began to stock up on supplies to prepare for their expedition.
Gu Fan was worried that if Lin Xi had been relentlessly hindering them because they were on the right track, then Lin Xi could well be heading towards Yuxueyun Mountain too. As this was the town closest to the mountain, it was highly probable that Lin Xi may have been passing through and left someone to keep watch.
On Gu Fan’s suggestion, everyone put on hats and masks. Given the colder climate near Yuxueyun Mountain, wearing these items was common practice, and an excellent way to disguise their identities so that they wouldn’t be recognized by Lin Xi’s group.
With time ticking away, the group selected and bought vital items before quickly setting off on the road again to avoid any further delay.
