Chapter 124 - 122 Ambush
They were all acquaintances; the journey was filled with light-hearted chit-chat and laughter, making it very relaxing.
Xinghai Base was quite far; it took three days of driving to get there, which was quite exhausting. That’s why they arranged for a big bus equipped with several beds so people could rest when tired. The drivers also rotated in three shifts to avoid fatigue driving.
On the second day, they were already far from their own base. Li Pan had brought plenty of food, vegetables, and fruits, ensuring there was no issue with the supply—all of which were delicious meals Gu Ye had prepared in advance.
That evening they switched drivers to continue on the journey, as the injured waiting at Xinghai Base needed treatment, and they couldn’t rest. The only option was to keep driving towards their destination without stopping for breaks.
Li Pan was sleepy, so she lay down on the bed and fell asleep. The mobile signal was not very reliable once they left the base, often fluctuating, and sometimes even phone calls would get interrupted. There wasn’t much else to do but sleep.
Just as she was dozing off, a loud explosion jolted the car into an abrupt stop and a sharp turn, causing everyone on the beds to fly up and hit the vehicle’s walls.
"Ouch!"
"What’s happening?"
"Danger."
The driver, wiping the blood from his face, loudly warned everyone.
