Chapter 361 A False Alarm
Li Miao's figure disappeared silently into the shadows of the Xinhuo train team, like a wisp of smoke.
When he climbed back into the back of the Hummer, his back was soaked with cold sweat, and his heart was still pounding.
"Brother Dao... I'm back."
"Well done." Xu Si's voice rang in his mind, carrying a hint of approval.
Although the information obtained from this spying was limited, it was all useful.
Firstly, the opposing team is a joint team composed of two other teams, and their unity may not be as good as one might imagine.
Secondly, there is a pharmacist on the other side who may have some medicines that they can use.
Thirdly, Fu Wanhao is most likely not in the combat sequence. When the great power is imposed on him, Xu Si felt that no one could resist taking action.
……
As the opposing convoy began to commotion and assemble, Wang Hu and Shao Bing, who were on night watch for the Xinhuo convoy, were also alerted.
"Be on guard! Be on guard!" Shao Bing warned immediately.
The already alert fire truck crew, who were sleeping soundly, erupted into a frenzy within moments.
"What? The Marriott convoy is attacking?"
Almost the instant he stepped off the bus, Tashan transformed into a giant, seemingly poised to launch a fierce attack or defend against one.
Even faster than him, Su Su immediately used the Immortal Mist to ascend into the air.
Meanwhile, the humidity around the train convoy was rising at a visible rate, with countless water droplets seemingly suspended in mid-air. Chen Pei was clearly fully prepared.
Similarly, the Marriott caravan campsite was also in an uproar due to the strong reaction from the caravan.
The air on both sides of the valley seemed to freeze at that moment.
The campfires on both sides were relit, and the headlights of more than a dozen vehicles turned on at the same time, illuminating the entire open space as if it were daytime.
Those figures that were originally hidden in the darkness were now all exposed to the light—those holding guns, those gripping crossbows, and those with energy condensing in their palms, stood layer upon layer behind the defensive formation.
"Is this a sign of war?" Tashan's body had swelled to tens of meters tall, with six thick tentacles waving in the night wind, like a demon god crawling out of hell.
"Tashan, don't be impulsive. What's going on?" Fu Xiaojian was the calmest of them all. He stopped Tashan's charge as soon as he got out of the car and asked Wang Hu and Shao Bing.
His sense of crisis didn't trigger an alarm, so the situation might have been under control.
"The Marriott convoy suddenly gathered just now, and I thought they were going to launch an attack before dawn when our people were exhausted," Shao Bing explained.
Fu Xiaojian jumped onto the roof of the Mengshi vehicle and looked at the Marriott convoy, which was also on high alert, and felt that something was wrong.
Meanwhile, Xiao Luo and Li Miao, who had gotten into trouble, were both huddled inside the car, their bodies completely submerged below the windows.
If there were gaps under the car, they might have crawled underground.
Xu Si, atop Nirvana Peak, simply turned over and went back to sleep, as if everything that had happened had nothing to do with him.
The three instigators all chose to remain invisible at this moment.
"Don't move." Just then, Fu Wanhao stepped out of the RV.
He looked at the other side with a serious expression.
He didn't see Xu Si, but he did see a young man who seemed to recognize him.
His memory was excellent, and he confirmed Fu Xiaojian's identity almost instantly.
At the same time, he seemed to have a better grasp of something, and he didn't hide the smile on his lips.
"Giants? Leaping through the air? Turning into water? Not bad, not bad, all good prospects!" he said in a low voice.
Blade stood by, ready for battle, his face grave.
He is confident in his abilities.
However, the people on the other side were quite troublesome for him.
……
"Blade, let them all disperse," Fu Wanhao said.
"But..." Blade frowned.
"It must be a misunderstanding. Since it's a misunderstanding, we should be more magnanimous." Fu Wanhao waved his hand, not caring at all.
Blade paused for a moment, then turned and waved.
"Disband!"
Despite this, his military vigilance kept him at his post.
……
"Damn it, if you're going to fight, then fight! What are you dawdling for?" Tashan was a little impatient, his morning grumpiness was aroused.
"Looks like a fight isn't going to break out!" Taking the binoculars from Yang Fan, Fu Xiaojian could clearly see everything that was happening on the other side.
"What do you mean? They... aren't fighting anymore?" Tashan was actually a little disappointed.
The fact that several people in the team have been promoted in the past few days has been a great stimulus to him.
Especially since Xu Si had already reached Sequence 5 while he was still at Sequence 3, it made him somewhat anxious.
If this continues, there won't even be a chance for the knife to provide support.
Su Su hung in mid-air, her ethereal mist shimmering faintly in the night.
She didn't speak, but her golden eyes calmly swept across the opposite camp.
Those who had gathered were gradually retreating to their original positions, even lowering their gun barrels.
The water droplets around the camp gradually lost their ability to condense, turning into a fine mist that refracted tiny rainbows in the afterglow of the campfire.
"This is fucking..." Tashan scratched his head, and his massive body began to slowly shrink.
"I was all set to make a big splash!" Tashan's disappointment was hard to hide.
"It must be a misunderstanding. Everyone, don't be nervous. Let's go back to sleep!" Fu Xiaojian said through the convoy's loudspeaker as he got off the Mengshi.
Of course, it was also meant for the opposing team to hear.
"oh."
Everyone relaxed. To be honest, if a conflict really broke out, death would be inevitable.
"What's going on?" Jiao Jiao poked her head out of the chariot, her hair still messy and her eyes not fully open, but the fluorescent lights in her hands were already prepared.
"..."
Nobody paid any attention to her; everyone was still confused about what was going on!
In the back seat of the Hummer, Li Miao huddled in the seat, his head buried between his knees, his eyes cautiously peeking out.
Xiao Luo peeked half his head out from the side and whispered through telepathic communication, "Brother Miao, is it okay if we don't go out? Won't we be discovered?"
"I... I don't think so..." Li Miao's voice was full of uncertainty.
Ronaldinho fell silent.
The two of them huddled in the car, barely daring to breathe, like two guilty mice.
On the roof of the Nirvana chariot, Xu Si turned over, pulled his cloak up, and continued to sleep.
Yi Yi leaned on his shoulder, opened her eyes groggily, glanced at the lights and figures on both sides of the valley, and then buried her face in Xu Si's collar.
The noise on both sides of the valley gradually subsided.
Those who had been awakened returned to their places one after another, while a number of people sat around the campfire.
This disturbance made them unable to fall asleep again.
Fu Xiaojian looked at Xu Si on the roof of the Nirvana vehicle with a puzzled expression.
Normally, Xu Si would have noticed the anomaly and notified the entire convoy long ago.
Was he sleeping too soundly?
Fu Xiaojian didn't know that Xu Si wasn't sleeping too soundly, but rather that he was faking it so convincingly that even he himself believed it.
This farcical situation started hastily and ended hastily.
