Chapter 96 Departure to Huangzhou
The next morning, when it was just getting light, the residents of Yellowstone City had already organized themselves spontaneously and started working according to the division of labor to which they were already accustomed.

It has to be said that in this post-apocalyptic wasteland world, people who can form settlements and survive in settlements are still quite proactive.

Without explicit orders, they would find their own ways to find food, collect fuel, and prepare supplies for the winter.

All Chen Jian needed to do was to collect the excess ammunition and oversized weapons that had been distributed and centrally manage them in the place that was originally called a church and is now called a village activity center.

He had thought that recovering the ammunition and weapons would be quite difficult, but in fact the whole process went smoothly.

This is not only because the villagers already have weapons sufficient for self-defense, but more importantly, it is because they know that these things are meant for everyone to use.

It is temporarily taken back just to ensure that it can be taken out when it is needed more.

Seeing that order in Huangshi City had been basically restored, Chen Jian began to implement his next plan.

Before the "Allied Forces" delegation arrives, he will lead a team to the Huangzhou ruins to find the lair of the monster called "Mongol", and then see if he can discover something new by following the clues left in the monster's stomach.

After packing up all the equipment, Xie Liu and Li Shi stayed at home in Huangshi City, while he took Shen Yue and others, drove two cat cars, and drove along the S412 highway towards Huangzhou City.

His plan was to take G106 near Daqiaogang, then cross the Ehuang Yangtze River Bridge to Huangzhou City, and then go straight to the monster's lair according to the location marked by the yellow fish.

But when he got there, he discovered that the key bridge on the route had been broken.

"What's going on? The drone reconnaissance images from a few days ago clearly showed that the bridge was in good condition."

Chen Jian raised his telescope and looked at the bridge that was broken in the middle not far away, then asked:
"Lei Jie, did you pass by here yesterday when you returned to Hanshui? Was the bridge here intact at that time?"

Lei Jie shook his head and replied:
"We were on the G70 and didn't pay attention to the situation here."

"But to be honest, the collapse of the bridge deck is not a rare thing, right? This thing is hundreds of years old, so it's normal for it to collapse."

"It's normal for a collapse to happen at any time, but it's unusual for us to have it happen to us."

Chen Jian frowned slightly, turned to look at Zeng Yi and asked:
"Is it possible that a monster passed by and collapsed the bridge?"

"It's possible, but there's no evidence."

Zeng Yi put down the worn-out telescope in his hand and replied:

"If it was crushed by a monster, then it should have fallen into the water, right? Friction is inevitable."

"But Captain, look, there is no blood on the broken part of the bridge, and there are no shells or scales left that are commonly seen on monsters."

"It really seems like the bridge collapsed naturally. But to be honest, it's just a coincidence."

"I have seen many collapsed bridges since I was a child, but I have only seen one bridge that was fine a few days ago and collapsed a few days later. I saw it in the north."

"I think this is still a bit strange. It's best to stay alert."

"clear."

Zeng Yi's judgment was basically consistent with Chen Jian's own thoughts, so he decisively ordered:

"Stay alert, avoid this area, continue upstream, and cross the river at the Chibi Sandbar."

"Lei Jie, install the propeller of the cat car."

"We launched into the water at Bafang Bay and landed at the shore of Chibi Bridge Village."

"clear."

Several people immediately changed direction and continued to move north along the highway beside the river which was not completely covered by vegetation.

Lei Jie installed the propeller, and the two cat cars were launched into the water together, heading east along the wide river.

".Is it true that this car will not sink?"

After wiping the water droplets that splashed onto his face, Zeng Yi asked hesitantly.

“It basically won’t sink.”

Shen Yue replied seriously:
"It doesn't matter if it sinks. We have time to breathe. Don't you have time?"

"."

Zeng Yi was speechless, while Lei Jie beside him comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, with just the three of us, we haven't even reached the design load-bearing limit of this thing. Even if Li Shi is added, it will float."

"Enjoy the scenery of Chibi. I never had the chance to see it before, and I didn't expect that my first visit would be at a time like this."

"Chibi?"

Zeng Yi looked puzzled. Lei Jie wanted to recite a poem to him, but after thinking for a long time he couldn't remember the first line. So he could only recite two lines, "The halberd is broken and sunk in the sand, but the iron has not been corroded" and "Xiao Qiao is just married." These lines were totally irrelevant and Zeng Yi was even more confused.

Fortunately, Lei Jie is still quite authoritative in terms of technology.

It took more than half an hour for the two cat cars to successfully cross the nearly two-kilometer-long river and land on the shore of Chibi Bridge Village.

No extra instructions were needed and the four of them deployed on the spot.

The drone took off, Shen Yue and He Shuo went forward to conduct reconnaissance, while Chen Jian and Lei Jie set up support weapons, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

After making sure the surrounding environment was stable, the team regrouped.

At this moment, Zeng Yi's face unconsciously revealed a strange expression.

Although he had seen Chen Jian and others fighting many times, and even fought alongside them many times.

But every time he saw them cooperating with each other tacitly and executing various tactics skillfully, he couldn't help but be fascinated.

He actually wanted to ask to what extent he would be qualified to learn the knowledge and skills they had mastered.

But he also felt that such a request, or even the question itself, was a bit presumptuous.

So he had no choice but to shut up and continue forward behind the others.

But unexpectedly, he did not ask any questions, but Chen Jian took the initiative to speak.

"Zeng Yi, don't you think you can't keep up with our cooperation now?"

Zeng Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously and said:
"Yes, but I haven't learned these things. If necessary, I can cooperate with you in other ways."

“The other way around is not necessarily right.”

Chen Jian shook his head and then said:

"After you go back this time, let He Shuo give you a tactical lesson."

"Learning to shoot a gun is only the first step. Learning how to use a gun is the beginning."

"As Holy Bloods, you may have strong physical fitness, but you have also seen that if there are four of us working together and with sufficient firepower, we are not afraid of any frontal attack."

"So, you have to improve your abilities as soon as possible."

"Only if you learn to cooperate can you save your brute force."

"understand!"

Zeng Yi nodded excitedly, and said with a rare stutter:

"Actually, I wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but I didn't think it was appropriate."
-
It’s really inappropriate, right?

I was originally an outsider and had only been a member of this organization for less than a month.

They were willing to share equipment, teach me how to use it, and even gave me the opportunity to train. This was already a huge trust in me.

You know, I have never been treated like this when I was training in the Temple of the Holy Blood.

There, only the strong are worthy of enjoying resources, and only the strong are worthy of learning skills.

The first thing the weak should consider is how to survive by instinct.
Zeng Yi looked at Chen Jian, who seemed a little puzzled.

"What do you mean inappropriate?"

Zeng Yi didn't know how to answer, so Chen Jian waved his hand and continued:
“There is nothing inappropriate.”

"We are all family. Since you want to learn, we will teach you."
