Chapter 237 The Longevity Convoy
The happiest people in the car team were none other than Dou Dou, Dou Bao, Yao Yao, and a group of other children.
This place is simply their best playground.
They had always been sensible enough to suppress their true nature, but now they relaxed and lay down on the soft grass, laughing and rolling around.
Joyful laughter dispelled the fatigue of the journey.
Little Luo stood among the adults like a little adult, wanting to play but too shy to do so.
Compared to Jiao Jiao, he seemed too precocious and too sensible.
"Let's gather more firewood! There probably isn't much firewood left on the grassland!" Fu Xiaojian said.
Countless dead trees lined the roadside along the way, so they didn't need to worry about firewood, but the grassland was clearly different.
Although it was an endless green field, there wasn't a single tree in sight.
After a brief moment of excitement, everyone went about their own business, and even the little ones, including Yao Yao, went with the others to gather firewood.
"DouDou, has YaYa found anything?" Fu Xiaojian asked DouDou, who was preparing to go gather firewood.
"Huh? Let me ask?" After a few seconds, DouDou's voice came, tinged with confusion.
"Uncle Fu, Ya Ya said... there seems to be smoke over there."
cigarette?
Fu Xiaojian and Xu Si exchanged a glance.
Where there is smoke, there are likely people, namely a convoy.
"What about the distance?" Fu Xiaojian pressed.
It's still early, and if the distance is right, they might be able to meet before dark. Since they're migrating across the grasslands, they must know something about the grasslands.
"It's quite far, and Ya Ya can't quite say exactly how far," Dou Dou replied.
Fu Xiaojian remained silent. "A crow can arrive in the blink of an eye, but they can't!"
"Keep the crows away from you, or you'll scare them away!" Fu Xiaojian said.
In addition, the team also needs to change its driving strategy.
Fu Xiaojian issued the order: "Everyone! Another convoy has been suspected."
"Stand within a 500-meter radius of the convoy, focus on gathering firewood, and head out again in half an hour to see if you can meet them!"
"Yes!" Everyone was stunned for a moment, feeling that good news was coming one after another.
"Old Xu, why don't you fly over on your sword and go scout it out? You can decide for yourself whether they're friend or foe!" Fu Xiaojian said to Xu Si.
Ya Ya is indecisive, so Xu Si is the most suitable person to do this kind of thing.
If it's just about gathering information, half an hour is enough for Xu Si to make a round trip on his sword.
"Okay," Xu Si replied readily.
The Sword of Punishment hovered beside him, and with a slight thought, the sword light lifted his body, silently rising into the air.
Ascending to a height of 100 meters, the view suddenly opens up.
Beneath your feet stretches an endless green wave that reaches the horizon and meets the low-hanging clouds.
A gentle breeze bends the grass low, creating long, continuous green ripples that are breathtakingly beautiful.
Xu Si's crimson star-like eyes peered into the distance, searching in the direction indicated by the crow.
He quickly located his target, which he estimated to be more than 20 kilometers away in a straight line.
However, he did not see the convoy, only a thin, straight column of grayish-white smoke rising from the grassland, which was particularly clear in the afternoon.
Xu Si landed first and informed Fu Xiaojian of the general situation before flying off on his sword towards the smoke pillar.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a small pond when we got closer.
Beside the pond was a heavily guarded convoy.
At a glance, there were at least five or six vehicles, forming a loosely organized camp that was ready for battle.
Their targets were naturally the crows circling in the sky and the suddenly appearing Xu Si.
Xu Si did not approach rashly.
He hovered high in the sky, pushing his star pulse perception to its limit, like an invisible net gently spreading out in that direction.
The team was small, with about a dozen people, and even fewer Sequence Extraordinaries, only four, the strongest of whom was only Sequence 3.
This made Xu Si look at him with new respect.
For a team of this size to survive to this day, there must be a reason why this Sequence 3 is so popular!
"It is indeed a person." Xu Si felt somewhat relieved.
He adjusted his direction, deliberately revealing his figure, and flew towards the convoy on his sword at a slow speed.
Maintain a distance that allows the other party to detect you through their reconnaissance methods, but without appearing too abrupt or hostile.
As the distance closed, the view below became clearer.
The convoy consisted of five vehicles: two modified off-road vehicles, a medium-sized van, a pickup truck, and a white campervan towing a trailer.
So it looks like there are six cars.
The five vehicles were arranged in a fan shape, with their front ends facing outwards, forming a simple defensive formation.
The vehicles were in similar condition to those in their convoy, covered in dust and scratches, with obvious signs of repair.
Xu Si's approach clearly attracted the other party's attention.
Leading the group was a bald, burly man who frowned as he stared at the man and bird in the sky.
However, Xu Si was not interested in this person, as he was only a Sequence 2. Xu Si was interested in a young man, who was also the only Sequence 3 in the team.
Xu Si descended to a distance of several dozen meters from them, so that they wouldn't be so wary.
He did not approach any further, and the two remained in a standoff for about a minute.
The bald, burly man seemed somewhat embarrassed, because Xu Si wasn't looking at him, but rather at the young man.
The young man stopped hiding and stepped forward to negotiate.
"Is this bird yours? Or one from your convoy?" The man didn't offer any pleasantries, show weakness, or show hostility.
Instead, he asked a question that he was more concerned about.
Because the large bird did not attack them or Xu Si.
There's only one explanation: it's a bird that serves humans.
The strange coexisting with humans was something he had never seen before.
That's why he asked that question.
After all, that guy looked weird.
"It's part of our team!" Xu Si clearly knew what the young man was expecting, so he didn't disappoint him.
"Could I ask how it was tamed?" The young man's eyes visibly lit up upon hearing this.
But he quickly regained his composure and suppressed his emotions, though he couldn't help glancing once more at the ferocious three-headed, six-eyed figure high in the sky.
"Sequence." Xu Si's answer was ambiguous. He had no intention of revealing Dou Dou's contract secret, and instead asked.
"How long have you been on this grassland? Our caravan is not far away and we'd like to make some trade with you. Is that alright?" Xu Si said.
"Indeed, any sequence is possible!"
"Let me introduce you to the Changsheng Motorcade – a Land Cruiser. As for a transaction, we'd naturally welcome it!"
"Besides, we've been on the grasslands for over ten days!" the young man said.
There was not a trace of wariness in his tone, as if he were recounting a story of reuniting with an old friend.
"Please wait a moment, our convoy will stop on the other side of the pond."
Xu Si glanced at the convoy members behind Lu Xun and made a decision in his mind.
Most of them looked tired from their long journey, and their eyes held a wary but not overly aggressive look; they did not appear to be vicious criminals.
Without further delay, Xu Si flew away on his sword.
Let Fu Xiaojian handle the specific negotiations!
This kind of situation always made him feel very embarrassed!
Perhaps he is just like that dog meat that can't be served at the banquet!
