Chapter 140: Move with crooked thoughts

As night fell, the temperature dropped a bit more.

The hot water in everyone’s thermoses was depleted.

Those closer to the outside could no longer bear it.

From his innermost clothing, a bottle of liquor was produced.

He asked the leader,

“Village Chief, I really can’t stand it anymore. Can I have a sip of liquor to warm myself up?”

As he spoke, the other people closer to the outside also had the same idea.

Their faces were indistinguishable, and the person referred to as the Village Chief didn’t dare to turn on any lights at this moment.

He was afraid of being discovered and having all their efforts go to waste.

After some thought, he realized it was indeed difficult for them, so he could only agree to his request.

“Alright, warming yourselves up with a bit is fine, but don’t drink too much.”

“You need to remember, you’ll be doing something soon. If anyone drinks too much and causes any trouble…”

“You know the consequences without me having to say them.”

Having received the Village Chief’s permission, these people didn’t dare to drink much.

After drinking about two liang (100g) worth, they put the remaining liquor back into their clothes.

Enduring like this, the group finally made it to eleven o’clock at night.

The people they notified arrived near the village entrance with trailers equipped with anti-slip measures and contacted them.

If Liang Yu were to see these people, he would surely laugh.

It truly fit the identity of modern people.

In an era when industrialized products like automobiles were not yet widespread, these trailers were pulled by cattle and horses.

Even now, cattle and horses are still pulling them.

However, these cattle and horses are not the same as the ones from before.

Inside the house, the Village Chief’s phone lit up.

After reading the message, the Village Chief immediately told everyone to get up.

He patted the person beside him and raised his voice slightly.

“Everyone up! Get ready.”

“Our people have arrived with the trailers.”

Upon hearing this, everyone reminded each other.

The Village Chief saw that everyone had stood up, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Last time, someone had waited for so long without moving that he froze to death.

For such a person, although everyone felt some reluctance, in order to survive, they could only use him as daily rations.

Fortunately, the same thing didn’t happen this time.

This was also one of the reasons they were allowed to drink.

“Let’s go, everyone, be quiet.”

“The other party might be asleep, but we can’t be careless.”

“After all, if the other party just moves a finger, we’ll all be dead.”

These dozen or so people moved like thieves, slowly fumbling their way forward in the darkness.

They didn’t dare to turn on any lights, nor did they dare to make any loud noises.

Under these conditions, they finally met up with the arrivals.

At this point, none of the group noticed the extra snowman beside them.

Adding the nine people with the three trailers, they now totaled twenty-four people.

After meeting, the Village Chief reiterated the precautions to them.

Then he looked at the three trailers.

“Remember, each trailer takes seven bipedal sheep, no more!”

“We only have twenty minutes. If time is up, retreat regardless of whether the quantity is enough.”

At this moment, someone grumbled a few words.

“It’s so late, the Village Chief is too cautious.”

“What’s wrong with taking a little more?”

“I think we can even pry open the car door there, go in, and kill the other party.”

“The supplies in the car, and all of this, are ours.”

Although the voice was very low, the Village Chief could still hear it.

He just didn’t say much; he had indeed thought of doing that.

However, as the Village Chief, the one who led them out,

He had a responsibility to bring these people back safely, only then could he face their families.

Suddenly, a slap resounded.

It startled everyone.

In such a silent environment, the sound was exceptionally clear.

The one who slapped the grumbling person was his cousin.

He was still a bit defiant about his cousin’s slap.

“Brother, why did you hit me? Was I wrong?”

However, seeing that he still didn’t realize his mistake, the other party intended to strike again.

This time, the Village Chief stopped him.

“Alright, let’s talk about these things when we get back.”

“He doesn’t understand; you can just tell him when you have time.”

The man’s cousin finally gave up.

But they didn’t know that the other party had come with his means of livelihood.

He wouldn’t let go of this opportunity.

When this group of people arrived at the village head, they looked at the brightly lit RV less than a hundred meters away.

They looked on with great envy.

Those with good eyesight noticed that there was no one in the driver’s seat.

They told this news to the Village Chief.

And the person who had just suggested prying open Liang Yu’s RV door, upon hearing this, immediately knew his chance had come.

He quietly slipped away to the back.

With so many people in such a dark environment, no one would notice him.

As long as he didn’t make a sound, no one would discover him.

And that was indeed the case.

These people completely failed to notice his departing figure.

They were all busy lifting the trailers to move them forward at this time.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to continue pulling.

It was just that the pulling sound was a bit loud.

They could carry the empty trailers forward, and dragging them when leaving was fine, but they had to leave quickly.

This was the Village Chief’s requirement.

When they arrived at the village entrance, someone suddenly noticed a figure beside Liang Yu’s vehicle.

He immediately told the Village Chief.

The Village Chief almost exclaimed, but fortunately, he suppressed it.

These twenty or so people looked at the figure, feeling a strange sense of familiarity.

It was then that the other party’s cousin realized his younger cousin was missing.

At this, everyone finally knew who that person was.

The Village Chief was still worried that the other party would trigger the vehicle’s alarm, so he gritted his teeth and decided to have everyone go up and carry.

He had only one requirement: be fast and gentle!!

The twenty or so people immediately went forward to carry the bipedal sheep, including the Village Chief himself, who also participated in the carrying instead of just supervising.

However, as they walked up, that person had already reached Liang Yu’s car door.

After entering Sentry Mode, the vehicle detected an unregistered stranger and immediately activated its defensive measures.

And this person took out a single hook and tension wrench, aiming for the keyhole on the car door and thrusting it in.

However, what he found strange was that this keyhole was different from those on previous vehicles.

He didn’t find a pressure point, and the next moment, he felt the temperature in his hand continuously rising.

Then he smelled a burning odor, and then the single hook and tension wrench burned through his gloves.

It directly scalded his fingers.

But he didn’t have a chance to scream; the moment of contact transmitted not only high temperature but also a powerful electric current.

This was also the reason why the single hook and tension wrench instantly became scorching hot.

The other party just collapsed.

The sound of him falling was very sudden, making the hearts of the group who had just picked up things jump to their throats.

The other party looked at the fallen person and cursed inwardly.

They understood the seriousness of the situation; they had already prepared for the worst.

Immediately, without many words, everyone quickened their pace.

On the other side, inside the RV, Liang Yu, who was resting, already knew the situation when they entered the pile of bipedal sheep corpses.

He was waiting, waiting until everyone had entered inside.

And he ignored the person prying the car door.

If the other party could truly pry open an unlocked car door…
