Chapter 62: Thieves

Seeing that none of his teammates showed any fear, Ruan Weisong smiled slightly and added, "That’s it. You guys can go and prepare your supplies. We will leave in five minutes."

Hearing this, Yin Kaiming and the others said in unison, "Yes, Captain."

As the others dispersed to make preparations, Ruan Weisong scanned the surroundings again. After a moment of searching, he muttered in confusion, "Is that just my imagination?"

Unable to find the answer he wanted, Ruan Weisong shook his head to clear his mind, then packed up the map and checked his weapons and ammunition.

Meanwhile, hiding behind an abandoned car, Liu Yun observed him and thought, ’Erm... This beloved son of the Heavenly Dao doesn’t look very reliable...’

Unaware that someone thought he was unreliable, Ruan Weisong and his team finally finished their preparations.

Walking toward Lian Tianci, Ruan Weisong said, "Captain Lian, we are ready. How about your team?"

Lian Tianci strapped his gun to his thigh, then replied, "We are ready. We can leave now."

"Alright." Ruan Weisong replied, then walked back to his team while Lian Tianci boarded his armored car.

Two minutes later, everyone had boarded the armored cars.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ruan Weisong signaled to Lian Tianci, then calmly ordered, "Move out."

Following his command, the man sitting behind the steering wheel pressed the accelerator.

Leading the convoy, Ruan Weisong’s black armored car crashed into the abandoned cars blocking the road.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As he cleared the way for those behind, the black armored car disappeared into the distance, leaving dust floating in the air.

Seeing the convoy getting farther away, Liu Yun suddenly realized one big problem.

Grabbing her hair in frustration, she screamed inwardly, ’Grass! I forgot that I don’t have a car!’

Squatting behind her, Gu Zhenwei pointed at the disappearing convoy and said, "Younger Sister Liu, they already left."

Hearing this, Liu Yun composed herself. Turning to look at Gu Zhenwei, she asked, "Elder Brother Gu, can you drive?"

"Mhm. Why? Do you want me to drive a car?"

"Yes."

"..." Gu Zhenwei paused for a second, then stated the truth, "Younger Sister Liu, we don’t have a car."

Grinning at him, Liu Yun pointed at the military armored cars parked nearby and asked, "Aren’t those cars?"

Realizing what she wanted to do, Lan Zuancheng grabbed her wrist and said seriously, "Those cars are owned by the military. As soon as we touch them, we’ll be arrested."

Patting his hand, Liu Yun confidently said, "Don’t worry. With me here, they won’t notice us."

Not knowing what she was planning, Lan Zuancheng asked doubtfully, "Do you have a plan?"

Liu Yun grinned, then replied, "I’ll count to three, and we’ll run to that armored car."

Following her line of sight, Gu Zhenwei and Lan Zuancheng saw a soldier who had just gotten out of the armored car. Seeing that the key was still inside the car, they turned to Liu Yun, then nodded.

Getting their answer, Liu Yun counted, "3... 2... 1!"

The moment her words fell, the three of them rushed toward the armored car.

On the way, Liu Yun opened her inventory and took out an Invisible Talisman.

As soon as she reached the armored car, she rushed inside. When she saw Gu Zhenwei and Lan Zuancheng also getting into the car, she quickly stuck the talisman onto the car’s roof.

A second later, the Invisible Talisman disappeared, and the armored car became invisible.

Grabbing the driver’s seat, she urgently said, "Elder Brother Gu, drive!"

Seeing that nobody had noticed them, Gu Zhenwei gritted his teeth, turned on the engine, then pressed the accelerator.

As the armored car drove away, a few soldiers heard the sound of the engine. However, when they looked up, they didn’t see anything out of place.

Thinking that they were too tired and had heard it wrong, they closed their eyes and continued to sleep.

Inside the car, Liu Yun let out a sigh of relief and fell back against the backrest. Patting her chest, she grinned and said, "Huff... Stealing cars is really not a job for someone like me."

Sitting behind the wheel, Gu Zhenwei laughed. "Younger Sister Liu, you are really brave!"

As the two of them laughed, Lan Zuancheng suddenly said, "This is so strange."

Glancing at him, Gu Zhenwei curiously asked, "What’s strange?"

Looking at his slow-witted brother, he helplessly asked, "Don’t you think it’s strange that nobody discovered us when we stole the car?"

Reminded by him, Gu Zhenwei turned serious. After a brief moment of silence, he doubtfully replied, "Maybe this car’s engine didn’t make any noise?"

What Gu Zhenwei said was not wrong.

Every military vehicle had been modified to reduce its engine noise because zombies and mutants possessed exceptionally sharp hearing.

Thinking that what he said was logical, Lan Zuancheng muttered, "... You are right."

While the two of them were talking, Liu Yun was holding her breath. Seeing that Lan Zuancheng agreed with Gu Zhenwei’s explanation, she secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Wiping her sweaty palms on her pants, she thought, ’This Elder Brother Lan is too observant and smart. I must be more careful in the future.’

Twenty minutes later, Gu Zhenwei saw a road junction. Glancing at Liu Yun through the rearview mirror, he asked, "Younger Sister Liu, which way should I go?"

Being asked by him, Liu Yun called out to the System.

’System, help me track Ruan Weisong’s location.’

A second later, the System’s mechanical voice rang in her mind.

[Tracking target: Ruan Weisong. Tracking in progress...]

Ding!

[Tracking successfully. Player, you can check the map.]

With that, Liu Yun opened the map and saw that the green line was pointing to the right. She said, "Go to the right."

"Got it," Gu Zhenwei replied, then turned the car to the right.

While they were on their way, Liu Yun noticed that a few golden dots had appeared on the map.

Feeling curious, she asked, ’System, what are these golden dots?’
