Chapter 800 Deep into the Bandit's Lair
The driver was beaten black and blue and was terrified.
Although I didn't see Vasily, I didn't want to look for him:
"That guy must have gotten into trouble and run away! If he weren't such a lecher, I wouldn't have gotten beaten up!"
Nikolai thought about it and realized it made sense.
I almost got ganged up on by someone's family, which would have ruined my reputation.
Fortunately, Lin Dong arrived, along with his friend Lu Yao; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to leave the room.
He was also angry with Vasily.
They carried the wine and left.
They came out and loaded them onto the truck.
Lu Yao beckoned Imana over and spoke first:
"Xiao Na, these are all my friends! We have a place to eat now."
Imana nodded blankly, a hint of panic on her face.
I dared not say another word.
Lu Yao, with his back to Lin Dong, winked at her. She understood immediately.
Although Imana has never left the mountains, she is quite smart.
Seeing Lu Yao acting like a brother with the enemy, there must be a reason. Just keep quiet and bear it.
No one could suspect a girl who looked shy.
Lin Dong asked, "Who is this girl?"
"My younger sister, a relative of the Lu family, is named Lu Xiaona. She is also a child from the mountains and has no relatives left."
Lin Dong understood.
At that moment, he thought of his younger brother.
He then inquired about Liu Hui with Lu Yao.
Lu Yao told Liu Hui about his current situation, and that he had unexpectedly become romantically involved with the nurse.
Lin Dong couldn't help but chuckle.
These three kids are great!
I've been wandering around for so many years and haven't even settled down, and you, kid, brought a nurse home while you were in the hospital? Fine, better than your brother!
Lin Dong drove a pickup truck to town; Alexander had asked him to come and buy some tobacco for him.
They were sold out by then, and he wanted to have a drink at the tavern before going back.
As a result, a fight broke out.
Nikolai asked Lin Dong:
"Lin, you can bring your brother and his woman back, but you need the boss's permission first."
Lin Dong nodded: "I understand the rules."
He invited Lu Yao and Imana into his pickup truck.
The car followed the truck carrying the liquor, and only then did Lu Yao ask Lin Dong why he didn't go to Myanmar but instead came to the Kingdom of Rakshasa in the north.
Lin Dong kept it brief, explaining in just a few words.
It turned out that after he dealt with Lu Fa's family that day, he originally intended to go south as Lu Yao had suggested.
However, the road closures are too strict.
It's actually much easier to travel north.
Lu Yao only remembered that Lin Dong had committed a crime in China in his previous life and then fled to Myanmar, but he overlooked the fact that the circumstances were different.
In his previous life, society was in chaos, and many people fled, so no one pursued Lin Dong alone.
But this time it didn't work. After killing Shi Shouyin, the police listed him as a key target for capture, making every step south extremely difficult.
Therefore, Lin Dong changed his route at the last minute, mainly because he needed to leave the country first.
Finally, they made their way to the country of Rakshasa.
It was during a fight with local thugs that he caught the eye of Alexander, the leader of a caravan.
They sent a young man named Yang Shaofeng, who was also from China, to bribe Lin Dong.
Lin Dong joined the group after passing his test.
Although Lin Dong didn't like being a robber, he had no other choice but to settle down here for the time being.
Because of his exceptional marksmanship, he was highly regarded by Alexander and Nicholas.
Knowing that Lin Dong came from China, they didn't let him participate in the robbery of the Oroqen this time.
Lin Dong was quite happy to meet Lu Yao.
This person, who is usually not talkative, chatted with Lu Yao non-stop throughout the journey.
When he ran out of things to say, he asked Lu Yao about domestic affairs and the Shi family's affairs.
Lu Yao knew that he was grateful to Old Master Shi, but he dared not say that he had helped Mei Ping capture Shi Mengyi and that he had already begun investigating Old Master Shi.
I just gave him a few perfunctory words.
Back in the country, Lin Dong might suspect that Lu Yao wasn't on his side.
But now that Lu Yao is in trouble and forced to rely on him, he has become even closer to Lu Yao.
It felt like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
When Lu Yao had a spare moment, he quietly whispered something in Imana's ear:
"Watch my signals and don't say a word no matter what happens."
Imana nodded.
I felt uneasy.
I know Lu Yao might have approached these people to save them, but can he really go deep into the heart of these demons?
The car left the town and headed towards the Nether Valley.
From the edge of town, head east.
We walked for about an hour through the rugged, winding forest path.
There are many forks in the road, and it is very easy to get lost if you are not familiar with the route.
After a while, a vast, empty valley appeared ahead.
The car drove down the hillside road, spiraling downwards.
Lin Dong pointed to the sections below that resembled livestock pens and explained to Lu Yao:
"There are seven different colored flags here. The yellow flag marks the location of our Alexandria caravan. There's a big gathering tonight. Caravans from all over will come here to trade."
According to Lin Dong, this is the Sikhote-Alin mountain range, which has eight main peaks and is the source of the Ussuri River.
Hidden within these mountains are at least dozens of caravans.
Hidden within these mountains are at least dozens of caravans.
The Alexander caravan was just one of the smaller caravans with limited influence.
Those people who were killed in the tavern earlier were all members of the "Blue Ridge" Joseph's caravan.
If the news gets out, Joseph will definitely not let it go.
However, he dared not easily engage in a mutually destructive conflict with Alexander.
Most negotiations will take place.
There might be some members of Joseph's caravan at tonight's gathering.
By the time the car turned down the western slope into the valley, the sun was already setting.
On the hillside on the Shandong side, there are a few scattered wooden houses.
White smoke slowly rose from the chimney.
Behind the house is a large forest, which can be seen from a distance.
At the foot of the hillside, several tents were pitched, some made of felt and others of cowhide.
Several trucks covered with tarpaulins were parked crookedly to the side.
Some horses were not wearing saddles and were tied to hitching posts to eat hay.
There was a smell of burning pine wood mixed with the smell of horse manure in the air.
"arrive."
Lin Dong turned off the engine of the pickup truck and jumped out.
Lu Yao got out of the car. Back in his hometown, the snow on the ground had already melted, but the temperature here was obviously lower, and the snow on the ground was very thick, showing no signs of melting.
The people coming and going were dressed lightly, seemingly more resistant to the cold than the people of Jiapigou.
Lu Yaoxi glanced around and saw that the place looked like a temporary logging site.
Several men wearing only animal skin vests were roasting something around a campfire when they heard the car and turned to look.
Upon seeing Lin Dong, one of the young Asian men shouted:
"Brother Lin is back!"
Lin Dong beckoned him over and introduced him to Lu Yao.
The man was about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, with stubble on his cheeks. He was wearing a half-new officer's wool overcoat, unbuttoned, revealing a dark gray turtleneck sweater underneath.
He was also from Northeast China, a ruthless man with several lives on his hands, named Yang Shaofeng.
He is also a rough and enthusiastic person.
Nikolai had already jumped down and was shouting for people to bring more wine.
Several burly men with blond hair crawled out of the tent and came over to help carry the wine.
A burly man sniffed the air: "Smells delicious!"
You need to unscrew the bucket lid.
Nikolai slapped the back of his hand:
"Don't move! This wine is for tonight's celebration; you can't just drink it!"
This is why Nikolai, as the second-in-command, insisted on going to town to make purchases.
Although they were a caravan, they weren't given unlimited amounts of alcohol.
The taverns and some businesses in the town were under the protection of the local military, so they didn't dare to rob them.
Otherwise, if things get too tense, it won't be easy to get along.
Lin Dong led Lu Yao and Imana up the hillside.
Imana clutched Lu Yao's clothes, lowered her head, and stared at the ground, not daring to look around.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone peeling a raw radish with a knife over the campfire, making a "crunch crunch" sound as they ate it.
As soon as Lu Yao got out of the car, he looked around.
In front of a wooden house built against the mountainside, a man was walking back and forth with a gun in his hand.
The door was secured with a large padlock.
Based on his experience, that place was either an ammunition depot or a prisoner-of-war facility.
