PDLP Chapter 68 Dawn is not easy, the road is even more difficult.
Chapter 68 Dawn is not easy, the road is even more difficult.
Its daybreak.
Light squeezed through the gaps in the woods, gradually lifting the shadows that had pressed the ground down the night before.
The fog hadn't completely dissipated; it lingered close to the ground, like a thin layer of smoke.
⸻
No one in the camp felt relieved.
On the contrary, I became more clear-headed.
⸻
Because everyone knows—
Last night was just the beginning.
⸻
Li Yuanshan squatted by the water and scooped up a handful of water to wash his face.
The water was very cold.
He shuddered.
⸻
"woke up."
He said something in a low voice.
It's like they're confirming that they're still alive.
⸻
He looked up at the woods.
The woods don't look so scary during the day.
⸻
But his heart sank even more.
⸻
"Where are those people from last night?"
This thought never left my mind.
⸻
He shook his hands and wiped the water on his clothes.
stand up.
⸻
My legs are still a little sore.
But it's not soft.
⸻
"I can still walk."
He mentally evaluated himself.
⸻
Not far away.
Chen He is already inspecting the team.
⸻
"Is everyone here?"
he asks.
⸻
"exist."
One of the guards responded.
⸻
"What about the injury?"
⸻
"Two people sustained minor injuries."
⸻
Chen He nodded.
⸻
That wave last night.
No one died.
⸻
In this situation, it's already considered a very good result.
⸻
But he didn't feel relaxed at all.
⸻
Because he knew—
The opponent didn't go all out.
⸻
"Today will be even harder."
He was already prepared.
⸻
Li Xuan stood on the slope.
Looking at the road in the distance.
⸻
The road is clearer during the day.
⸻
It's also longer.
⸻
He didn't turn around.
I only asked one question:
"Can the car move?"
⸻
Li Yuanshan walked over.
⸻
"able."
He said.
"The wheels are fine."
⸻
He paused for a moment.
He added another sentence:
"The goods are not missing either."
⸻
That sentence was said with a bit of force.
⸻
It's like he's cheering himself up.
⸻
Li Xuan nodded.
⸻
"Then let's go."
⸻
There are no extra arrangements.
⸻
They didn't wait.
⸻
The team resumed their journey.
⸻
This time.
No one was like they were when they first left Qingyun County.
⸻
No one spoke.
⸻
Even Li Yuanshan stopped mentioning the debt.
⸻
He sat by the car.
He was holding an account book in his hand.
⸻
But I just held it.
⸻
His eyes were always looking ahead.
⸻
"Wouldn't it be safer during the day?"
This thought suddenly popped into his mind.
⸻
But the next moment.
He denied it himself.
⸻
"They were able to come last night."
Why not during the day?
⸻
He gave a wry smile.
⸻
"I was too naive."
⸻
The group was not moving fast.
⸻
But it's very stable.
⸻
Chen He walked to the side.
⸻
I'm watching every step.
⸻
Woods, roadside, slope.
⸻
He glanced at any place where someone could hide.
⸻
After last night, his judgment became clearer.
⸻
This road—
It's not that no one is in charge.
⸻
There is someone "in charge".
⸻
And they—
They've been targeted.
⸻
"We won't just let this go."
He knew it very well.
⸻
"It's just a matter of time."
⸻
He glanced at Li Xuan.
⸻
The other side was always in front.
⸻
There was no turning back.
⸻
But that feeling of "knowing" has always been there.
⸻
"He figured it out earlier than I did."
Chen He admitted it to himself.
⸻
This relieved some of his stress.
⸻
But the responsibility is heavier now.
⸻
They walked for about a quarter of an hour.
⸻
The road ahead suddenly narrowed.
⸻
There are stone slopes on both sides.
⸻
There's only one road in the middle.
⸻
It can only accommodate two cars side by side.
⸻
"Broken Stone Mouth".
Chen He said in a low voice.
⸻
Upon hearing the name, Li Yuanshan felt a pang of anxiety.
⸻
"Is it the place you mentioned yesterday?"
⸻
Chen He nodded.
⸻
"One of the places most prone to accidents."
⸻
Li Yuanshan subconsciously swallowed.
⸻
He glanced at the slopes on both sides.
⸻
not tall.
But there are many stones.
⸻
"What if someone were to fall from above..."
⸻
He didn't finish his sentence.
⸻
I don't even dare to think about it anymore.
⸻
Li Xuan stopped.
⸻
The line also stopped.
⸻
He looked up and glanced at both sides.
⸻
The sunlight shone perfectly on the top of the hill.
⸻
visible.
⸻
But it's unclear.
⸻
"It smells."
He said in a low voice.
⸻
Chen He was taken aback.
⸻
"What does it taste like?"
⸻
Li Xuan offered no explanation.
⸻
I only glanced at the top of the hill.
⸻
"Someone has lived here."
⸻
Chen He's heart sank.
⸻
He took a closer look as well.
⸻
can not tell.
⸻
But he had no doubts.
⸻
Is it still there?
⸻
Li Xuan thought for a moment.
⸻
"have."
⸻
this sentence.
⸻
The air suddenly felt a little tighter.
⸻
Li Yuanshan's hand clenched unconsciously.
⸻
"Should we still leave?"
⸻
He couldn't help but ask.
⸻
Li Xuan did not answer.
⸻
He glanced at the road.
⸻
I glanced at the slope again.
⸻
A few breaths later.
⸻
"Walk."
⸻
Chen He was taken aback.
⸻
"Should we just leave?"
⸻
Li Xuan nodded.
⸻
"Slow down."
⸻
"Don't stop."
⸻
Chen He frowned.
⸻
"If they move..."
⸻
"Let them move."
⸻
Li Xuan spoke in a very flat tone.
⸻
"We can't stop here."
⸻
These words silenced Chen He.
⸻
He is very clear.
⸻
This is the "dead spot".
⸻
Stopping means waiting.
⸻
Leaving at least gives us the initiative.
⸻
"it is good."
He nodded.
⸻
"Tighten the formation."
⸻
"Spread out a little bit."
⸻
The guards quickly adjusted.
⸻
Li Yuanshan was also pushed a little towards the center.
⸻
He did not resist.
⸻
He just took a deep breath.
⸻
"here we go again."
⸻
This time.
It's not night.
⸻
It's daytime.
⸻
But I feel—
same.
⸻
Even clearer.
⸻
The team began to enter the Broken Rock Pass.
⸻
The wheels rolled over the stone ground.
The sound became louder.
⸻
"Cluck—cluck—"
⸻
Every sound made my heart tighten.
⸻
Li Yuanshan looked up.
⸻
Looking at the top of the slope.
⸻
The sunlight was blinding.
⸻
I can't see anything clearly.
⸻
But he knew—
There are people there.
⸻
"Don't look."
The guard beside him said in a low voice.
⸻
"The more I look at it, the more confused I get."
⸻
Li Yuanshan nodded.
⸻
But I couldn't help but take another look.
⸻
My heart is pounding, one beat at a time.
⸻
Very heavy.
⸻
Li Xuan walked at the front.
⸻
They didn't stop walking.
⸻
It didn't speed up either.
⸻
He's calculating.
⸻
distance.
time.
angle.
⸻
and also--
The other party's patience.
⸻
"They won't have to wait long."
He made his own judgment.
⸻
"Because we're already inside."
⸻
step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
⸻
The team has reached the middle of the line.
⸻
The most dangerous position.
⸻
The wind suddenly stopped for a moment.
⸻
Li Xuan's eyes darkened.
⸻
"They're here."
⸻
The next moment—
⸻
boom!
⸻
A stone rolled down from above!
⸻
Smash it straight into the middle of the line!
⸻
"Disperse!"
Chen He shouted!
⸻
The guards separated instantly!
⸻
boom!
⸻
The stone hit the ground!
⸻
Gravel flew everywhere!
⸻
Li Yuanshan was so shocked that he took a step back!
⸻
Almost fell!
⸻
He gritted his teeth and held on!
⸻
Before I could even react—
⸻
The second one!
The third one!
⸻
They rolled down one after another!
⸻
"Don't panic!"
Chen He shouted!
⸻
But the sound was drowned out by the impact!
⸻
Li Xuan has already made his move.
⸻
He didn't hide.
⸻
But -
look up!
⸻
Lock onto the top of the slope!
⸻
next moment--
⸻
"above!"
⸻
He whispered!
⸻
The guard instinctively looked up!
⸻
The shadow moved!
⸻
Several figures slid down the slope!
⸻
Rush straight in!
⸻
It's not a test.
⸻
Yes--
截！
⸻
Li Yuanshan's heart skipped a beat!
⸻
"They're here!"
⸻
He gripped the knife tightly!
⸻
This time.
⸻
He did not back down.
⸻
Just staring straight ahead.
⸻
Stand firm.
⸻
"Block it!"
Chen He has already charged forward!
⸻
The knife is drawn!
⸻
Greet the first person!
⸻
fighting--
A sudden burst of power!
⸻
And this time...
⸻
There was no probing.
⸻
only--
A hard-fought battle.
⸻
Li Xuan stood at the very front.
⸻
His gaze turned completely cold.
⸻
"This wave."
⸻
He thought to himself.
⸻
"That's their answer."
⸻
The stone is still rolling.
People have already pressed down.
⸻
Broken Stone Mouth.
⸻
It has completely turned into a battlefield.
