Chapter 115 Waiting
Xie Wenqiang didn't sleep much that night. First, he was always paying attention to the movements outside. Second, it was too cold. The hot water in the hot water bottle would not be hot after just a few hours. Even if he slept in a sleeping bag with several layers of cotton, Xie Wenqiang still felt cold. He felt like he would not wake up after falling asleep. Of course, he knew that was a psychological factor.
He kept looking at the darkness outside from the gap, listening to the whistling wind and snow. It seemed that he was the only one left in the world. The loneliness surged in his heart. Xie Wenqiang had the urge to go back, but he suppressed this feeling only when he thought of his wife and daughter.
Without a mobile phone to kill time, he could only count in his mind. After two hours, Xie Wenqiang fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long it has been. Xie Wenqiang grunted and wanted to get up, but he was blocked by the sleeping bag. He remembered that he had fallen asleep unconsciously.
Xie Wenqiang took out the flashlight, turned it on, and looked at the time on his watch. It was 7:05 in the morning. He didn't expect that he had slept for more than eight hours. The convoy should not have passed by, otherwise he would have been awakened long ago.
He took out the chocolate and ate it for breakfast. After eating two pieces and drinking a few sips of water, he was not so hungry anymore. Xie Wenqiang thought about whether to go back and tell his wife and daughter that he was safe. However, he thought that the convoy came when he was not there, so he would miss it. You know, he has no confidence to take his wife and daughter to the official base, otherwise why would he wait for the convoy so hard.
Persevere, Xie Wenqiang secretly encouraged himself in his heart.
Just as Xie Wenqiang was thinking about it, Zhang Henghui was saying goodbye to Xu Yunkong in the parking lot of the Fengshi official base.
Originally, Zhang Henghui wanted to take the convoy yesterday, but Xu Yunkong repeatedly invited him to his home to chat. Zhang Henghui thought that no matter what the Fengshi base had planned, Xu Yunkong still had no bad intentions towards him. If he refused again, he would not be able to be friends, so he had to agree.
Song Wenbao stayed in the convoy, and Zhang Henghui went to Xu Yunkong's home. In the evening, the two drank and chatted, just like eating supper at a food stall before the end of the world, but both knew that they could not go back to the past. Who knows whether Yuanxin Base and the official will become enemies in the future? Who can tell the future? After all, Gu Ming's Yuanxin Base can be regarded as a private armed force. If it was before the end of the world, it would have been destroyed by the official Xia country.
After staying for a night, after breakfast in the morning, Zhang Henghui said goodbye to Xu Yunkong and set off with the convoy after agreeing on the materials and time for the next transaction.
There were ten cars when they came, and five cars when they left. One car changed from three people to six people. Song Wenbao and Zhang Henghui were in the same car, chatting.
"Brother Hui, do you know what happened yesterday?"
"I heard from them."
"What do you think they want to do?"
"They should just want to find out about us."
"Don't want to turn against us, right?"
"It's not that they will turn against us just for those materials."
"That's right.
"Don't worry about it. I will report to the leader when I go back. "
"Got it."
The two of them didn't care what the official base of Feng City thought. After all, some things were not for them to decide. This was something the leader had to worry about.
"Minister Zhang, there are people in front."
The voice of the team members came from the cab. Zhang Henghui and Song Wenbao came out and saw lights flashing in front. Zhang Henghui thought for a while and took out the walkie-talkie and said.
"Stop the car and turn off the lights."
"Got it."
Zhang Henghui then told Song Wenbao.
"Wait a minute, you get out of the car and walk over. I'll go around to the back from the other side. Be careful."
"Okay, I got it. "
Song Wenbao knew what Zhang Henghui meant. This was safer and could prevent accidents. Who knew if this was a trap? They still had to be careful.
The two quickly dressed, took up their weapons, and got out of the car.
When Xie Wenqiang was about to give up, he saw the convoy coming from a distance. He opened the door of the carriage, jumped out of the car, turned on the flashlight, waved his hand a few times, and then saw the convoy stopped. Not long after, the lights of the convoy were turned off, and the distance became dark again.
Just when Xie Wenqiang was a little worried, he saw a light in the distance, which should be the light of the flashlight. He could only wait in the same place with a little anxiety.
Zhang Henghui waited for Song Wenbao to walk forward for a while before he set off from another direction. Although it was dark and he couldn't see anything three meters away, for him, the god of death, it was not a problem to move forward quickly in the dark. He went around Xie Wenqiang faster than Song Wenbao and was not far behind him. After observing carefully for a while, there was only one person, which should not be a bait trap.
"Who are you? What do you want to do? "
Song Wenbao walked to a place not far from Xie Wenqiang and stopped. Seeing that there was only one middle-aged man, he asked.
"Comrade, are you a policeman?"
Xie Wenqiang saw that Song Wenbao was dressed like a special police, so he asked excitedly.
"No."
"Oh, are you from the official base?"
Although a little disappointed, Xie Wenqiang still expected that the other party was from the official base. After all, some private bases don't need to go to know what kind of life the survivors live.
"No, we are from a private base, don't worry, the people in our base live very well, we are not lying, this time we go to Feng City to trade supplies with the official base. "
Perhaps seeing Xie Wenqiang's appearance, thinking of the days he and his sister had lived before, Song Wenbao still said these words very patiently, mainly to dispel the other party's concerns.
"Are you alone?"
At this time, Zhang Henghui's voice came from behind Xie Wenqiang, which scared Xie Wenqiang. He turned around and saw that it was a man dressed in the same way. He didn't know when the other party touched his back. Fortunately, the other party had no ill intentions, otherwise he would not know how to die. From this, it can be seen that they should have no ill intentions. As a businessman, Xie Wenqiang can still see this.
Xie Wenqiang told the two about his family's situation, and then expressed his hope to join the base. For the survivors who want to join the Yuanxin base, as long as they have no ulterior motives, the Yuanxin base welcomes them. Zhang Henghui naturally knows what to do. He asked Song Wenbao to go back and call people to help move all the supplies of Xie Wenqiang's family onto the truck.
There is strength in numbers. It took less than an hour to move all the supplies in Xie Wenqiang's storage room onto the truck, and then the convoy set off again.
Looking through the car window at the darkness outside, Long Xiaoqi seemed to be able to see her villa in the distance. She looked a little sad. If it weren't for the last resort, the Xia people would never leave their hometown.
"Don't be sad, look at our daughter."
Xie Wenqiang patted his wife's hand, comforted her, and let her see her daughter's expression.
Long Xiaoqi saw the curious look on her daughter's face as she looked at the unique cab. Her face was not as gloomy as before when she stayed in the basement. She looked much more lively.
The couple smiled at each other, knowing that the choice was not wrong. Since the end of the world, their daughter has been everything to them. For their daughter, no matter how difficult the future is, they have the confidence to get through it.
