The Second Camp
Chapter 2708 The Second Camp
The night in the Gobi Desert was simply a night of strong winds, blowing the tent and making a rustling sound. If the fixing pins had not been driven deep into the ground, the tent might have been blown away.
Moreover, in the middle of the night, a group of coyotes visited the camp. If the camp was not full of warriors who were not afraid of these coyotes, if it had been replaced by ordinary people, several people might have been killed.
Because of this, everyone except Chen Mo and Ouyang Ruoxi did not get a good rest at night. After all, in this environment, it is really a luxury to want to get a good rest. Even if you know that it is safe at night, the noise is too noisy and your ears can't get a good rest.
Of course, if some powerful people, such as Ouyang Nan and others, and those innate masters, can naturally use kung fu to adjust and weaken their facial features to achieve the purpose of quiet rest. Unfortunately, these people are thinking about the expedition to start tomorrow, so naturally they can't rest well.
When Chen Mo heard such a noisy noise at night, he cast a Silence Sound Talisman on himself and also released a Silence Sound Talisman in Ouyang Ruoxi's tent. So the two of them rested well. Of course, the bodyguard who followed Ouyang Ruoxi also rested well.
When they got up and washed in the morning, the three of them were very energetic, but the others were a little bit listless. Fortunately, they were all warriors, so even if they didn't sleep for a few days, it wasn't a big problem, they were just not used to it.
The morning in the Gobi Desert comes relatively early. It is already light at just over five o'clock. This is due to the time zone. The sun rises more than an hour earlier than in coastal cities.
Everyone was busy washing and eating breakfast, and there was not much noise.
An hour later, the whole team started to set off.
However, the arrangement of the departure team made Chen Mo feel that the Ouyang family was being deliberately targeted.
The destination is still several hundred kilometers away from the camp. However, due to the complicated road conditions, we have to drive forward first. It takes about a day, about eight to nine hours, to reach the next camp.
After that, we had no choice but to abandon the car and walk forward. After all, the road ahead was more complicated and there was no way to drive.
Moreover, due to the principle of confidentiality in this expedition, no helicopter was used. After all, if a helicopter is used in China, it needs to be reported in advance, which would easily expose this operation.
Especially the Special Management Bureau in the country is very alert to such hidden things in the martial arts world. The Special Management Bureau is a special agency for managing extraordinary people at home and abroad, so the actions of the family are naturally monitored by the Special Management Bureau.
If the several families in the northwest drove far from each other, it would be no problem for them to gather together quietly as long as they concealed themselves.
However, what Qian Ying and the others didn't know was that the Special Management Bureau had already noticed this action. Because when the Ouyang family members came here, they were attacked on both the highway and the national road, so the Special Management Bureau began to investigate the matter.
Fortunately, the helicopter that Ouyang Nan called was only arranged to be deployed to the city near the border of the Gobi Desert, and there were only about twenty people on board.
Therefore, the Special Management Bureau only paid attention to it and did not focus on Ouyang Nan. Most of their energy was put on several attacks. This was also the backup plan that Ouyang Nan had arranged. Although other families attacked the Ouyang family team, she was more cautious about the Special Management Bureau.
After all, if they attacked their team, they could just investigate who exactly attacked them and then retaliate. But if they wanted to attract the attention of the Special Management Bureau, they didn't believe that the Special Management Bureau would not interfere.
You know, the Special Management Bureau also needs people who can advance to the innate level. And there are many people who are at the tenth level of the acquired level in the Special Management Bureau. If they have the opportunity to advance to the innate level, they will naturally not miss it.
Therefore, both Ouyang Nan and other families in the team were wary of the Special Management Bureau.
It was also for this reason that after Ouyang Nan and Ouyang Min discussed it, they never mentioned the attack on them, and also kept Qian Ying and others in the dark about it.
Of course, Han Chengye and other senior members of the Han family knew about this, but they would not say it out loud. Otherwise, Ouyang Nan would naturally know which family attacked them.
The reason why Chen Mo saw that the Ouyang family was targeted was because the vanguard of the entire convoy was actually the Ouyang family. Of course, there was also a lead car arranged by the Qian family.
The first car was the Qian family's lead car, followed by the Ouyang family's vehicle. The Qian family's convoy followed behind the Ouyang family's convoy, followed by the Ma family and the Han family, and finally the Zhou family's convoy.
Chen Mo was naturally not clear about these convoys, but with the Ouyang family as the vanguard, anyone with eyes could see them.
"Is it appropriate for our Ouyang family to be arranged as the vanguard? Shouldn't the Qian family take the lead? They have a master of the third level of innateness." Chen Mo naturally knew the composition of the entire team. Ouyang Ruoxi told him about this matter after the meeting with Ouyang Nan and others last night.
However, Ouyang Ruoxi did not say that the Ouyang family's convoy took the lead this morning.
"This was formulated by them when my aunt attended the meeting last night." Ouyang Ruoxi paused and then said, "This kind of thing is out in the open. The reason for this is that our Ouyang family does not have a congenital master, so we have to do more work. And when we arrive at the destination, it is our Ouyang family that will lead the way."
Ouyang Ruoxi didn't think this matter was important. After all, in the eyes of the innate masters, all the families with low strength had to do more. If you want to gain something, you must pay something. But she didn't care too much about this arrangement, just because Chen Mo was around, which was why she didn't tell Chen Mo last night. "Oh? The Ouyang family?" Chen Mo asked.
"No, at that time, we and the Han family will take turns moving forward. Since the Zhou family is a southwestern family, they will be responsible for covering the rear. Moreover, their family also needs innate masters to sit in the middle together with the innate masters of the Qian family. Once an emergency occurs, they must provide immediate support." Ouyang Ruoxi said.
After hearing this, Chen Mo didn't say anything else. Weakness is the original sin, and it is the same everywhere. So as long as he reveals his strength, the Ouyang family will naturally be at the bottom like the Han family.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ouyang Ruoxi also introduced the situation in the convoy to Chen Mo, and pointed out the Qian family, Ma family, Han family, and Zhou family one by one.
These families all have their own family leaders, and yesterday, in order to unify management, the lead vehicle of each family was asked to put a small triangular flag with the family name on it, so that the vehicles behind could keep up.
Of course, the vehicles in each family fleet are distinguished by small triangular flags of various colors, so as to ensure that they will not fall behind or cut in line during the driving process.
Chen Mo did not use his spiritual sense, but just took a quick glance with his eyes and was able to see that the leading car had a red pennant, while the cars of the Ouyang family behind it had now all had yellow pennants.
Now, there are innate masters in the convoy. In order not to arouse the vigilance of those people, it is better to use less spiritual sense.
Of course, Chen Mo believed that even if he used his spiritual sense, it would only make these innate masters feel it, but they would not be able to find him.
If I were stronger and reached the high level of the foundation building stage, that is, the eighth level or above, then when I used my spiritual sense, these innate masters wouldn't even be able to feel it. But now my strength is only the fifth level of the foundation building stage, and I still need to practice.
After sighing, Chen Mo pulled Ouyang Ruoxi and asked, "Have you put on the soft armor I gave you? And did you bring the elixir and other things?"
"Yes, I brought them all." Ouyang Ruoxi nodded, feeling sweet in her heart. He cared about her, so she was naturally very happy.
Chen Mo nodded and said, "That's good. These pills can save lives. You can give them to your family members. If they are insufficient or lacking, ask me for them immediately. I also brought some pills with me."
"Okay!" Ouyang Ruoxi smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
After all members of the convoy had packed up, the leading car shouted, "Let's go!" and then drove out first, leading the way.
Ouyang Nan's car followed behind, and the motorcades of other Ouyang family members also followed one by one. Chen Mo was naturally the last one, following behind the Ouyang family's motorcade.
Now, he is just an unknown person, and he and Ouyang Ruoxi, who is nominally Ouyang Nan's assistant, are in a car following behind the Ouyang family's motorcade.
As for the tents in the camp, naturally someone was tidying them up. These were some auxiliary personnel arranged by the Qian family, who were responsible for some logistical work in the camp.
And ahead, there is a camp that has been prepared long ago, waiting for the arrival of the entire convoy.
Since there were basically no roads and the entire convoy was traveling on the Gobi Desert, the speed of the convoy was not fast, basically only about 40 to 50 kilometers per hour. Sometimes they even had to slow down to pass some bumpy and difficult areas.
There were even cases where vehicles got stuck in the sand during driving. Fortunately, everyone was a warrior and could lift a wheel with one hand, so there was no need to worry about vehicle rescue.
The convoy overcame many difficulties and stumbled along the way but did not stop. It took about nine hours and finally arrived at the second camp under the cover of night.
The whole way was following the mountains. There were many gullies and bumps, and some roads were difficult to pass, so we had to lift the car to get through.
The road where the entire convoy was traveling could be said to be a no-man's land. If it weren't for the leading vehicle, anyone coming in would probably be confused.
Moreover, both the mobile phone and the direction device have lost their due role here. Fortunately, there is satellite navigation, although it will be interfered with from time to time, it is still not a problem.
Chen Mo drove behind, feeling a little speechless. How did the Qian family find the target of the expedition? They were able to find it despite the complicated road conditions. They were really stubborn.
When I talked about this with Ouyang Ruoxi, she was equally confused.
She even picked up the intercom used by the Ouyang family's motorcade and discussed the issue with Ouyang Nan, but she had no clue. And they couldn't ask the Qian family, because the target area was a secret to the Qian family, and it would be hard to find it without them.
