Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 211 Peeping
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Zhu Yiming got into the driver's seat, adjusted the seat, and even sat down a little harder to feel the seat's rebound.

Ou Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking to himself, "Is it really that serious?"

Zhu Yiming started the engine and gently pressed the accelerator. The engine emitted a muffled roar, and the heavy truck drove onto the highway, heading south.

Ouyang, in the passenger seat, rested his chin on his arm, watching the snow scene receding outside the window, his mood surprisingly calm.

Ever since leaving White Maple Town, he had been on edge, and only now could he finally relax.

The snow on the road was very thick, and you could hear the sound of the tires crunching over the snow even through the car body.

Zhu Yiming, for some reason, chuckled smugly: "I made the right choice, didn't I? With snow this deep, only trucks can get through; an SUV would definitely get stuck!"

"Come on, give me a break." Ou Yang mercilessly exposed him. "You just got lucky by sheer chance."

"Hey, hey, how can it be just luck? This is skill, do you understand skill?" Zhu Yiming was incredibly strong-willed and unfazed. "Hey, by the way, which way do we go? Should I just keep driving straight ahead?"

"Keep going," Ou Yang said. "Just turn right at the first fork in the road."

"And the second one?" Zhu Yiming asked in surprise.

Ouyang shifted to a more comfortable position: "Ask me again later."

Baifeng Town is located in the northwest of Xiongzhou. After being abducted by the people of New Eden and put on a plane, they flew northwest for a period of time. It can be determined that the three people are currently located in the southwest of Shizhou.

If his judgment is correct, the distance between the highway in front of him and the border of Xiongzhou is not far. At the first fork in the road ahead, turning left leads to Xiongzhou, while turning right leads to Luozhou.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, Ouyang has been stuck in Xiongzhou for most of the time. He doesn't want to have anything to do with that godforsaken place anymore, and he doesn't want to get close to the dangerous state border, so he only has two choices.

One option is to head east, cross Lion State into Frog State, and then turn south to Xin'ao'erliang.

Secondly, head west, then take the Mule Road straight south, heading directly towards Xiushi Stew.

If it were springtime and flowers were in bloom, going to Lion Island to find a boat would be the best option. But it is still winter now, and the water is frozen and navigable. Even if we go through Lion Island and then Frog Island, we may not be able to find a thawed river.

This detour covered hundreds of kilometers, but didn't bring us much closer to our destination.

Traveling through Mule State is different; it allows you to cross at least two states and complete one-third of the entire journey!

Yes, there will definitely be a lot of trouble on land, unlike the easy journey by water, but Ouyang doesn't want to wait any longer, and neither do Zhu Yiming and Jiang Yuwei.

As for whether it's troublesome or not, we'll deal with whatever comes our way and take it one step at a time.

Thousands of miles away, Cape Cavill, Bay.

This is a military base located in the middle of nowhere, not on any map, and never appearing in any public documents.

The buildings on the surface are pitiful and look nothing like a military base, but underground it is as vast and complex as an anthill, where thousands of US troops work.

At exactly six o'clock, Lieutenant Stevens entered the intelligence center on time, carrying two cups of freshly brewed coffee.

He handed one of the glasses to his colleague on night duty: "Good morning, Louis!"

"Good morning!" Louis took the coffee, took a sip, and stood up to stretch his stiff body.

Stevens sat down and pulled his chair forward a bit: "Has something happened?"

“No, everything is normal.” Louis yawned, rubbed his eyes, and walked out. “It’s up to you.” “OK!” Stevens agreed, raised his hand to hold the mouse, and the images on the screen kept changing as he clicked. One image was a tropical landscape, the next it was rolling yellow sand, and the next it was a vast snowfield.

Just as I was about to take a sip of my coffee, I suddenly saw a speeding truck on the newly switched screen.

More accurately, the front of the car!
Stevens immediately put down his coffee, zoomed in on the screen to examine it closely, then suddenly pushed off the ground, his chair sliding backward rapidly. He grabbed his phone and dialed a number: "Hello, Boss, this is Stevens!"

A stern voice came through the receiver: "You'd better have something serious to say."

Stevens quickly replied, "Boss, the satellite detected a truck that drove out of Green Lake Base not long ago!"

"What?" The voice on the other end of the line immediately became serious. "Are you sure?"

“Confirmed,” Stevens said. “I’ve checked. The road is covered in snow. There are only signs of leaving the base, not signs of entering. It’s certain that the car didn’t drive in from the outside!”

"Anything else discovered?"

Stevens: "I checked yesterday's records and found three people active at Green Lake Base, all wearing winter combat uniforms, possibly base guards."

"Guards? There couldn't possibly be any guards left." The tone on the other end of the line was resolute. "Which direction did they go?"

“South.” Stevens licked his lips, recalling the operation that took place early yesterday morning.

There are so many satellites in outer space, and countless eyes are watching the United States. It is no exaggeration to say that no matter what actions the US takes, the relevant information will spread throughout the world in the shortest possible time.

If it weren't for the blizzard sweeping through Lion State and obscuring the satellite's view, our side would never have been able to send paratroopers to destroy the Green Lake base.

A few who slip through the net won't amount to much, but since the higher-ups demand that none be left behind, we must nip them in the bud.

The voice on the other end of the line was slightly lower: "Send me the details."

“Yes, sir!” Stevens quickly agreed, hanging up the phone and letting out a long sigh of relief.

He has fulfilled his responsibilities, and the rest is no longer his concern.

Deep within the base, Lieutenant General Williams glanced at the target and forwarded the detailed information to the operations department: "Dispatch a combat detachment, disguise them, and eliminate the target as quickly as possible. Do not allow the target to make contact with Austin's people!"

Just seconds later, a combat unit within Lion State confirmed the order.

West Coast, Bat Island, Pandebo Base Information Center.

A communication from Cape Cavie caught the attention of the officer on duty, who immediately reported the deciphered information to Colonel Eros, the center's supervisor.

The deciphered information was incomplete, and Colonel Eros couldn't discern anything particularly special about it, but the order still greatly intrigued him: "An operation against a non-military target? Interesting!"

He stroked the short stubble on his chin and said with a wicked grin, "So, in the name of Cape Kavi, can we cancel the previous combat orders, or change the annihilation to protection?"

"No problem at all."

"Very good, let's do it that way... Also, I don't think Cape Kavi will be that boring. Check the target's detailed information, and be quick!"

"Yes sir!"
