Chapter 131: Resupply (I)

The next day, at five in the morning, the sky had just turned bright.

The convoy started to warm up the engines of the large trucks. 15 minutes later, they set off again.

The convoy’s destination for the day was Pengzhou City, which was more than 500 kilometers away.

According to the planned schedule, the convoy would need to enter Pengzhou City for the first resupply before continuing on their journey on the third day.

Other than Chen Yiming and Fang Hongkun, everyone in the vehicle, including the driver, had blissful expressions on their faces.

Last night, Chen Yiming had generously shared the mutant beast meat from the black snake at the level of a warrior candidate.

It wasn’t just the people in charge of the transport team. Even the ordinary drivers and the people accompanying them ate a fair bit.

The amount of energy contained in a few tons of meat from the black snake was extremely large to those who were below the level of a warrior candidate. Even though there were hundreds of people in the convoy, they were not able to eat that much.

Those who had undergone three to five transformations would usually be full after eating a small piece of mutant beast meat.

In addition, for the rest of the journey, everyone could still enjoy the black snake meat.

In one of the large trucks, Zhang Dongjun held the steering wheel with both hands and stared at the road for possible potholes. Jia Weimin lowered his chair in the front passenger seat and lay down on it.

“This Mr. Chen seems to have appeared out of nowhere. I’ve never heard of his name before,” Jia Weimin suddenly said.

Zhang Dongjun’s gaze was still fixed on the road ahead as he casually replied, “From the looks of it, he’s only about 20 years old. He should be the youngest warrior in East Lake City.”

Jia Weimin sighed and continued, “That’s why I think it’s too unreal. A warrior around the age of 20 has never appeared in the history of East Lake City.”

Zhang Dongjun glanced to the side and said with a smile, “What’s there to sigh about? With someone like Mr. Chen who has such outstanding talent appearing in East Lake City, people like us can live a better life.”

When Jia Weimin heard this, he smiled. “That’s true. After all, it’s easy to find shade under a big tree.”

At the same time, Zhang Dongjun and Jia Weimin weren’t the only ones discussing Chen Yiming in the other trucks.

To them, a warrior around the age of 20 would definitely not stop at this stage in their cultivation path.

With the sudden appearance of such a genius in East Lake City, the panic brought about by the attack on the city by the alien bird creatures began to dissipate. Everyone had regained their confidence in living peacefully in East Lake City.

Along the way, everyone was in a good mood, and the convoy did not encounter any danger.

…

Longpo Town was still about 50 kilometers away from Pengzhou City. The convoy parked on the road beside the town and made some simple repairs. Then, they headed straight to Pengzhou City.

At this moment, groups of people were walking over from the direction of Pengzhou City.

Most of them had hurried expressions on their faces. They carried boxes in their hands and large bags on their backs. About 50 to 60 of them moved together in a group.

Many of them even brought their families with them, and they were accompanied by the elderly and young children.

Chen Yiming, Fang Hongkun, and a few other people in charge were resting on a rock by the roadside and witnessed everything.

“Something must have happened in Pengzhou City,” Fang Hongkun said in a low voice as he noticed something was amiss.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Yiming asked curiously.

“There’s a high chance that Pengzhou City has started a war at a space-travel passage near it,” Fang Hongkun replied.

Hearing this, Chen Yiming recalled the time when he was delivering food for his family.

East Lake City had started a war at the lake in the west, and countless refugees had sneaked into the city.

It was the complete opposite of the situation in front of him.

“Isn’t it safer to stay in the city when the war starts?” Chen Yiming asked doubtfully.

Fang Hongkun pointed at a person not far away and replied, “Look at that person’s clothes.”

Chen Yiming looked over and realized that the person was wearing a training robe. This meant that he wasn’t an ordinary person.

“Most of these people should be free citizens. They don’t live in a certain city permanently. Instead, they are constantly heading to cities where there are no wars,” Fang Hongkun explained.

A free citizen?

This was the first time Chen Yiming had heard of their existence.

On careful thought, these people’s way of survival did have some merit.

These people might have made some progress in their martial arts. If dozens of them traveled together, as long as they did not get close to the location of the space-travel passage or encounter the mutant beasts, there was a high chance that they could reach their destination city successfully.

Since there was a better option available, there was naturally no need for them to stay in a city where there was a war and fight the alien creatures from the otherworld.

At this moment, Fang Hongkun turned around and instructed Fan Ronghua, “Go and find out what exactly happened in Pengzhou City.”

“Got it.” Fan Ronghua nodded in agreement.

He took a few steps forward and stopped a group of people, then revealed his identity.

The free citizens would run away at the first sign of battle, so they were naturally not the most stubborn people. When they saw the convoy parked by the roadside, they did not dare to hide anything.

After Fan Ronghua received the news from these people, he did not immediately return. Instead, he continued to stop two more groups of people.

After corroborating the information from the three groups to ensure that it was accurate, he returned.

“Sir, Pengzhou City is indeed fighting a war at a space-travel passage nearby, but it was Pengzhou City that took the initiative to attack the otherworld,” Fan Ronghua reported.

“They can actually enter the space-travel passage and launch an offensive,” Chen Yiming said in surprise.

This was the first time he had heard of anyone taking the initiative to attack the otherworld.

On the other hand, East Lake City had been on the defensive for the past year.

“Thank you,” Fang Hongkun said in a low voice.

Chen Yiming didn’t understand the situation.

Since they dared to take the initiative to attack, it must mean that Pengzhou City was powerful enough.

No matter how one looked at it, it was much better than being attacked by the beast tide in East Lake City.

“Most of the three cities, East Lake City, Cloud Port City, and Nightwater City, were destroyed by the sudden attack of the alien bird creatures,” Fang Hongkun voiced his thoughts, “Pengzhou City might be planning to establish a long-term base in the otherworld to prevent similar attacks from happening.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Chen Yiming asked.

If the war was happening on the blue planet, no matter the outcome, the humans would be the ones suffering a larger loss.

After all, it was easy to destroy things but difficult to build them. The destructive power of the warrior realm was too strong, and the concrete buildings in the city were no different from paper in the face of such strength.

“It’s a good thing for Pengzhou City, but it might not be the same for us.” Fang Hongkun sighed.

“If Pengzhou City takes the initiative to attack the otherworld, the logistics pressure will definitely be huge. We have more than 100 large trucks, and the amount of fuel we need is not a small amount, especially at this critical time.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the people in charge changed drastically.

“Sir, we’re not here for personal matters. Would Pengzhou City dare to reject us directly?”

“Sir, if Pengzhou City does this, aren’t they afraid that other cities will treat them the same way in the future?”

Fang Hongkun shook his head and explained, “War has always taken precedence over other things. Since we are involved in post-war reconstruction work, they can easily find some excuse to get rid of us.”
