Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Vigilance Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Vigilance At that ti, although everyone in the cars was talking, they did not let down their guard. Except for the driver, everyone was watching outside, and their guns were ready for combat at any mont.
They stopped for the night earlier today, not waiting until dusk. When Gu Pan and the others parked their vehicles, they honked the horn a few tis, and Doctor Chen’s car ahead also ca to a halt.
Dinner was simple, just boiled noodles, but there was at and vegetables too. Although not fresh, their nutrition had always been well balanced.
While eating, there were always people patrolling, keeping a close watch on the supplies.
Those gathered around the fire for dinner chatted idly, even bringing up the weather.
Cheng Yang looked at the sky and said, “Now that the temperature has returned to normal, could the apocalypse be coming to an end?”
Squad Leader Fang shook his head, “If the country is still sending us to the base, it ans the apocalypse isn’t over. Otherwise, they should be dispatching people to different areas to organize reconstruction.”
Gu Pan agreed, “Right, the state must know more than we do, and there’s definitely a reason they’re sending us.”
Chen Shaonan furrowed his brows, “Does that an there could still be disasters ahead? We’ve been through extre cold, plagues, and extre heat, so what could be next?”
This topic imdiately made everyone tense. Yes, what other disasters might there be?
Chen Lang pondered deeply, “Earthquakes, typhoons, floods?”
Gu Pan said, “Even perpetual day or night isn’t out of the realm of possibility.” She was also slowly giving everyone so advance hints.
Feng Zhekai added, “Then there’s acid rain, tornadoes, pest infestations, and so on. Speaking of which, we really don’t know how to prepare for them.”
Lu Ruisheng said, “Then let’s prepare for each type of disaster. It’s best if they don’t occur, but if they do, we should be able to protect ourselves.”
Everyone agreed and began to discuss the matter.
After the sky turned dark, Squad Leader Fang, Fang Lanlan, and Guo Gang went out for reconnaissance, while Lu Ruisheng stayed to defend the supplies with the rest of the group. ng ng hid quietly inside a car.
Half an hour later, Squad Leader Fang returned.
He found Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, “We have a tail behind us, about two kiloters away, three vehicles, they’re already getting ready for action.”
A while later, Guo Gang ca back as well, “They’ve started to set up roadblocks ahead, they’re definitely targeting us.”
Then Fang Lanlan also ca back, “There’s a sniper on the hillside to the left, aiming this way.”
Hearing this, everyone understood that this was definitely no coincidence; it was a trap. Since the enemy was already preparing to ambush them, they would have to engage in battle.
Thankfully, they had the upper hand for now. Otherwise, a team with a sniper would be quite intimidating, and they would be in danger.
Lu Ruisheng said, “Panpan and I will take care of the sniper first, then Brother Guo will lead Teacher Chen and Teacher Duan to lay mines and set up defenses on the road behind. Squad Leader Fang will take the rest and guard the supplies.”
Fang Lanlan said, “The sniper is very professional, and there’s a spotter with him. If we don’t take out both at the sa ti, they could alert their comrades. Also, the sniper’s position is in a tree. If they spot you from the tree while you’re beneath it, there’s nowhere to hide; it’s very risky and hard to escape.”
Gu Pan assured, “Don’t worry, we have a plan. If it really doesn’t work, we’ll co back and figure out a strategy. We won’t compromise our safety.”
Squad Leader Fang said, “Alright, let’s go with that plan then. Be careful.”
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng acknowledged and headed toward the spot Fang Lanlan had ntioned.
At the foot of the hill, they used infrared to scan the area and found the sniper’s position still up in the trees. However, the heads of the two people were obscured by branches and leaves. Except for directly in front, it was impossible to ensure a simultaneous headshot from any other position; and if they were in front, the enemy would spot them instantly, which was even more dangerous.
Gu Pan said, “I’ll sneak up there while you set up the rifle for here. I have Space to ensure my safety. Once we find the right mont, let’s take them both out together.”
Lu Ruisheng admitted that this was the best plan and the best coordination, “Okay, we’ll synchronize with a whistle. Just be sure to stay safe.”
Gu Pan nodded, “Mm, don’t worry, I won’t leave you to live out your days alone.” Having said that, she sprinted towards the tree, of course, approaching from behind the person.
When she got close to the tree, where there was no more cover, she walked two steps, entered Space, and then peeked through the gaps, moving forward only when it was safe.
Until she was right under the tree, she remained quietly in Space, listening to the noises outside.
The lead sniper said from above, “This is really a big job – a whole truckload of supplies. With this haul, we’ll definitely have enough for a year.”
The assistant sniper asked, “Really? We’ve hit the jackpot this ti. I didn’t expect Doctor Chen to be such a good actor.”
Listening to the two n talk, Gu Pan confird that these people were in cahoots with Doctor Chen.
She circled around the tree, found the best position, appeared suddenly, and deliberately made a noise to draw the attention of the two n in the tree.
They hadn’t seen anyone just a mont ago, but suddenly a person appeared out of nowhere, and they were both stunned.
Gu Pan didn’t want these two to live, so she decided to scare them, making them panic so it would be easier to take them out without making a sound.
She waved at the n, then entered Space again.
One man in the tree asked the other, “Did you see a woman just now?”
The other nodded vigorously, “I did, I did. She didn’t seem like the won after the apocalypse. No, brother, that’s got to be a ghost, definitely a ghost. We’ve encountered a ghost.”
The one who asked first shuddered with fear, almost falling out of the tree, “I also think it’s a ghost. What do we do? If we go back now, the boss will definitely kill us, but I guess we’ll get killed by the ghost here, right?”
“I thought the ghost just now seed quite friendly; it doesn’t look like it could kill anyone, right?”
“Friendly ghosts? The good ones would’ve been reincarnated by now. A young woman who beca a ghost probably died of a broken heart. She didn’t commit suicide, did she? I’ve heard that the ghosts of people who commit suicide are fierce.”
“Brother, I’m scared. What do we do?”
“I’m scared too. I’m most afraid of ghosts.”
Gu Pan was speechless with frustration, thinking to herself that with the snipers being afraid of ghosts, even in an apocalyptic era where humans are scarier than ghosts, they still feared the supernatural. What had their elders filled their heads with as children?
But this was good for her; it made her task of dealing with them much easier. She appeared suddenly, found the right spot, then blew two whistles, signaling that she was targeting the person on the left. She quickly fired her gun, and at the sa ti, Lu Ruisheng also fired. Both n in the tree were headshotted instantly.
The two n probably never imagined they would die so suddenly, and because of their fear of ghosts at that. Who would believe such a story? But that was the fact.
Lu Ruisheng ran over, “Are you okay?”
Gu Pan nodded, “Mm, I’m fine.”
Having said that, the two confiscated the firearms and then looked through binoculars to see that the enemy had started moving closer to their position, so they quickly made their way down the hill as well.
Back at the bottom of the hill, they inford the others that the snipers were taken care of, and then they planned to find a closer sniper spot. Unlike their enemies, they didn’t have to find a place too far within their own territory, one that was suitable without fear of being discovered by their own people.
