After Zuo Mingdong replied, there was no response from the other side. Du Yue could not help but feel puzzled. Could it be that they could not make a decision on their own, so they went to discuss it with the manager? However, even if they wanted to discuss with the manager, they should have informed them. It was rude not to say anything.

Du Yue was puzzled, but she suddenly heard Zuo Mingdong deliberately lowering his voice. “Something is wrong here. Be careful. Don’t miss any signs of movement. If there’s any sudden incident, don’t care about anything and run. Remember to protect yourself.” Zuo Mingdong’s tone was serious and nervous. Du Yue and He Xing naturally raised their vigilance after hearing it.

He Xing replied, “Alright, we’ll be careful. You guys have to be careful too.”

He Xing put down the walkie-talkie and heard Shen Teng’s voice coming from the walkie-talkie. “Roger that. Everyone, be careful.”

Although Shen Teng’s answer was simple, he was already prepared to face an emergency. While they were holding their breaths and concentrating, someone suddenly responded from behind the iron gate.

“I went to greet the leader just now. The leader said that we welcome friends from afar to exchange resources with us. Have you been on the road for a long time? I’ll open the gate for you. Come in and rest first. After that, we’ll discuss the matter of exchanging coal.”

As soon as the person inside finished speaking, the iron gate slowly opened. It was very quiet in the vicinity. Other than the occasional noise of the wind blowing, the only sound was the sound of the iron gate opening. Du Yue picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction of the big iron gate. There were two street lamps erected in front of the big iron gate, but the lighting was not ideal. It could only illuminate the area one or two meters in front of the gate. Anyone who looked through the binoculars would only see the dim yellow light at the gate and the darkness around them.

However, Du Yue was different. Her binoculars had night vision, so she could clearly see the scene in front of the door. At this moment, there were a few men in military green uniforms at the door. Just by looking at their clothes, they really looked like military personnel before the apocalypse. However, Du Yue was keenly aware that something was wrong. Their every move when they walked and stood was very strange.

The expressions on their faces were also extremely fierce. Their facial features were still pleasing to the eye, but they gave off a sinister feeling.

They were all staring at the convoy. Their eyes reminded Du Yue of wolves hiding in the dark forest, and they emitted a strange green light. Du Yue put down the binoculars in her hand. “These people are looking at us. Look at their eyes. It doesn’t seem like they’re welcoming us in as guests. They’re more like tigers and leopards waiting to hunt.”

When Du Yue looked at the gate through the binoculars, He Xing was also looking in that direction. After hearing Du Yue’s words, He Xing nodded in agreement. “You’re right. I’m afraid they’ve already prepared a trap for us. If we really go in, I’m afraid we’ll be caught like turtles in a jar.”

Although all of them carried firearms in their cars and they were not people to be trifled with, the other party won in numbers. The world inside was completely unfamiliar to them. It was not easy for them to come out safely.

Du Yue turned around and asked him, “Do you want to say something to Zuo Mingdong?”

He Xing waved his hand. “There’s no need for that. Captain Zuo definitely knows more about the behavior of military personnel than we do. Even if his binoculars don’t have night vision, he’ll definitely be able to notice something wrong. Let’s wait for him first.”

Du Yue nodded and waited quietly. Not long after, Zuo Mingdong’s voice sounded. “There’s no need. The four of us are here to take a look at the situation first. There are still a large number of troops waiting behind. Since you’ve agreed to exchange, we’ll go back and inform them first. Then, we’ll come over together.” 𝗳𝐫𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝗯𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

After Zuo Mingdong finished speaking to the person behind the gate through the loudspeaker, he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie. “All vehicles, turn around and return the way you came!”

“Roger!” The other three cars replied in unison, and the four cars turned around at the same time.

Just as the drivers of the four cars were about to start the engines, more than a dozen cars suddenly drove out of the darkness and surrounded them tightly.

The headlights of these cars were all turned on, and they were all aimed at the four cars in the encirclement. Everyone in the car closed their eyes..
