Chapter 140: 140, Baby

The dirt road was difficult to traverse, and all the vehicles jolted violently.

Actually, this area was already under the jurisdiction of City One, but since Taboo Land 002 was located in the remote mountains, no one bothered to build a road to such a perilous place.

Heading further south, they encountered no more ambushes from the wild people.

Perhaps the enemy initially believed that the drone swarm was sufficient to stop the Autumn Hunting Team, so no further preparations were made.

Or maybe they were so shocked by the display of power when Uncle Li Dong made his move that they withdrew the ambush ahead.

The method he used to destroy dozens of drones in an instant was nothing short of terrifying.

Qing Chen had no clear understanding of the power levels of Transcendents, but Xiao Gong and the others were more knowledgeable—this had to be the work of an A-Class.

Within the Autumn Hunting Team, Xiao Gong had completed the neuronal interfacing for the second batch of border drones.

More than a dozen drones were seen, half flying on both sides of the convoy, the other half heading towards more distant surroundings.

Soon, Xiao Gong reported via the intercom, “Miss Yino, there’s no enemy activity on either side, but 6 kilometers behind us, it seems the wild people have already regrouped and haven’t given up on hunting us down.”

Li Yinuo frowned—did the enemy continue their pursuit knowing there was an A-Class among them? Could one of the Fire Pit elders be nearby?

She asked, “How far is Jindai’s camp?”

“27 kilometers ahead,” Xiao Gong answered.

“Tell Wang Bingxu to keep all the fleets at full speed,” Li Yinuo said with a cold laugh. “We can relax only after we’ve passed the Jindai family camp.”

After speaking, she turned to Nan Gengchen, “Sweetheart, were you scared just now?”

Nan Gengchen didn’t respond.

Li Yinuo asked again, “Honey, are you still mad at me? It was an emergency situation earlier, and I didn’t mean to yell at you.”

Nan Gengchen’s face was beet red as he struggled to articulate a word.

But he wasn’t mad at Li Yinuo. Honestly, when he saw her rush to his side first thing during the crisis, his anger had already dissipated.

It was just that Li Yinuo was calling him that…right in front of Qing Chen.

It was practically no different from a public execution.

At the moment, among those present, only Uncle Li Dong knew that Qing Chen and Nan Gengchen knew each other. Qin Yiyi and Li Yinuo were unaware.

Seeing Nan Gengchen’s flushed face, Li Yinuo even lifted his shirttail with concern and asked, “You’re so pale—didn’t you get hurt earlier?!”

When she was checking, Nan Gengchen wanted to stop Li Yinuo, but the beautiful warrior pinned him in the truck bed and examined him for a long time without any resistance.

Uncle Li hesitated before asking, “Little girl, I heard you’ve recently become infatuated with handsome guys…”

Li Yinuo quickly sat up straight, “Please don’t listen to their nonsense. I know some people say I keep a pretty boy or something, but that’s actually fake. Xiao Nan and I truly love each other, and he’s the only one I love.”

“Oh,” Uncle Li nodded…

Qing Chen, meanwhile, was on the verge of bursting into laughter.

The look on Nan Gengchen’s face turned ashen at the sight of his expression.

Everyone else seems to die three times over, with fancy terms like ‘physiological death’ or being ‘forgotten by others’.

He, Nan Gengchen, was different. He’d experienced social death three times already…

…

In the distance, people could already see the outline of the campfire.

Those with good eyesight could even make out Jindai Yasuhito sitting next to his daughter by the campfire, talking about who knows what.

When the Autumn Hunting Fleet arrived, they saw that everyone from the Jindai family had come out, and some even brought out weapons and specialized countermeasures against drones.

It wasn’t the Jindai family’s fault, after all, anyone would feel uneasy if a bunch of people suddenly showed up at their campsite in the middle of the night, looking menacing.

However, Xiao Gong had already reached out to the Jindai’s communication system in advance, “This is the Autumn Hunting Team. The camp ahead need not worry, do not shoot, we are just passing by.”

As they passed by the campsite, Li Yinuo, sitting in the truck bed, smiled at Jindai Yasuhito: “Good evening, good night.”

As she spoke, the Autumn Hunting Team kicked up a huge cloud of dust as they brushed past the Jindai family campsite…

The gust of wind that followed knocked the tents inside the camp into disarray, flapping wildly, dimming the campfire for a moment.

Dressed in a kimono, Jindai Yasuhito’s garment flew up, exposing the bare hairy legs underneath…

“Dammit!” Jindai Yasuhito cursed at the backs of the Autumn Hunting Team.

Qing Chen understood that shout.

But at this moment, Jindai Yasuhito couldn’t understand why the Autumn Hunting Team was in such a rush to travel overnight.

A bodyguard in a black suit said, “Could they have encountered some danger?”

Jindai Yasuhito recalled, “Their vehicles didn’t have any new damage, they shouldn’t have come across danger.”

“Then perhaps they’re trying to find Qing Huai before us?” Suggested the young Jindai Ori.

Jindai Yasuhito shook his head, “According to the information I just received, the wild battalion of the Second Group Army had just left their unit a few days ago. By normal travel speed, we would arrive at the edge of Taboo Land #002 by tomorrow morning, while Qing Huai might only arrive by tomorrow afternoon. Therefore, let Li Yinuo go, we don’t need to rush for time.”

Suddenly, Jindai Ori, pulling on Jindai Yasuhito’s hand, pleaded, “Father, I heard Chen Leyou isn’t as good as the rumors say, just a mentally twisted scion of a conglomerate. Once you persuade Qing Huai, can I swap with Jindai Kongyin? Let her marry Chen Leyou, and I’ll marry Qing Huai!”

Jindai Yasuhito thought for a moment, “That’s not impossible, Qing Huai is indeed a bit better than the other conglomerate scions. However, it’s contingent on the waste in prison #18 dying first; only then will it be proper to change the marriage arrangement.”

As he said this, Jindai Yasuhito frowned, “Wait, that’s not right! We aren’t even on the Autumn Hunting Team’s necessary route toward Taboo Land #002. How could they know we were here? It can’t be a coincidence!”

Especially since Jindai Yasuhito had deliberately deviated from the route to avoid being noticed.

The next moment, someone suddenly noticed car lights shining from the north again.

The LED headlights mounted on the off-road vehicle were blinding, and the front row of vehicles had a strip of glaring searchlights mounted on their roofs, making it impossible to see who was coming head-on.

The quick-reacted bodyguard immediately ran to the side, dodging the glare of the headlights before he could see that a flag was positioned next to the engine hood of the approaching vehicle.

On the flag, there was faintly an image of a stone-surrounded Fire Pit, with the flames inside flickering as the vehicle moved.

The bodyguard began to bellow, “Wildermen, it’s the Fire Pit’s team, get in the car!”

At this point, Jindai Yasuhito felt murderous.

He thought, why the hell did Li Yinuo suddenly greet him with a smile—as it turns out, she actually led the Fire Pit’s team right to them!

If they were too slow, all of his Jindai people might end up dead in the wilderness!
