母蜂的复仇

“Yes!” Guan Sheng nodded slightly and ordered his men to pass on the message. After so many days, the convoy’s mobility was much stronger than before. In less than 20 minutes, everyone had received the order and assembled. The convoy set off again. In the last car, He Xing looked at Du Yue helplessly. “You’re too bold.”

Just like that, she released the cannonball. Du Yue did not argue. She only nodded. “I’m bold, but the power of this cannonball is really awesome! It exploded 30 meters away. The commotion it caused wasn’t earth-shaking, but the smoke was real. It was a pity that it was not obvious in the thick fog.”

Seeing Du Yue’s unsatisfied look, He Xing said, “There’s something even more powerful. It can be launched from the shoulder. If you’re interested, I can take out a few for you to try.” The light cannonball that Du Yue had just fired was similar to the fireworks barrel she had used when she was young, but the material was different. The tube was also thicker. The one He Xing was referring to was a cannon barrel that was much thicker than Du Yue’s waist.

!!

Du Yue thought about how she would look with a cannon on her shoulder and shook her head in the end. “No, that’s too precious. I don’t dare to think about it.” She felt that if He Xing was always by her side, she would not need to use such a powerful cannonball. The two of them chatted as they drove. They even ate some nuts and chocolate in the middle, so they did not feel tired.

Without stopping, the convoy finally arrived at the third base after dawn. The convoy was too long, and Du Yue and the others were at the back of the convoy, so Du Yue could not see the gate of the third base even though she had her glasses on. She did not feel anything when she was on the road, but now that they had really arrived, she could not help but be curious. The convoy was probably negotiating with the people from the third base. They did not move after they stopped.

After a sleepless night, Du Yue suddenly felt a little sleepy after the car stopped. He Xing turned to Du Yue. “You should sleep for a while. We’re here anyway, so there shouldn’t be any more problems.”

Du Yue’s eyes were half-closed as she grunted in agreement. “Set an alarm for one hour for me. I’ll be in charge of keeping watch later. You can rest.”

After Du Yue said this, her eyelids drooped down and she fell asleep. In her daze, Du Yue suddenly heard some movement. She subconsciously opened her eyes. Du Yue sat up and looked at the time. An hour and a half had passed, but He Xing had not set an alarm for her or called her.

Perhaps because she was really exhausted, Du Yue felt that the one-and-a-half hour of sleep only lasted for a moment. She did not feel anything at all. Her eyes were red and bloodshot because she had not slept enough. She rubbed her eyes and looked ahead. It turned out that the sound she had just heard was the sound of the cars in front of her starting to move.

He Xing stepped on the accelerator and followed the cars in front. Half an hour later, Du Yue finally saw the outer wall and the gate of the third base. Judging from the color and texture of the wall, it did not look like it had just been built. It seemed to have been here for a long time. “This should be an ancient city wall.” Du Yue asked, “Could it be that the third base is built in the old city district?”

There were many ancient buildings in Jingluo, and Du Yue knew this.

After all, it was a city with a rich cultural heritage. Although Du Yue had not been here before the apocalypse, she had learned about it from the internet and books. The Laocheng District was not as lively and prosperous as the modern metropolis. The houses were generally short buildings with all kinds of ancient buildings, which gave people a very different feeling.

Of course, the third base was built here not only because of the location’s historical heritage. As for the exact reason, Du Yue did not know for the time being.
