Chapter 121: Chase
Originally, Chen Mu's budget for this trip was about three days, but now it's only been half a day, and he has already gained quite a lot. Although he still doesn't know what's inside this container truck, from a hasty glance earlier, he could see that the entire container is almost filled with things.
Considering that the Zhongyi had specially dispatched two experts to guard it, these things were definitely not simple. However, Chen Mu couldn't understand why, if the contents of this truck were so important, they didn't place it in the middle of the convoy but left it at the rear, providing an opportunity for Chen Mu and the others.
In his haste, Chen Mu glanced back at the battlefield. He could see that the people from Zhongyi and Qingbei were getting farther and farther away, almost becoming invisible.
Wei Dalei was actually not exerting much effort to drive this truck; it was still much faster than the others. But Chen Mu was worried that there might be valuable items inside, so he reduced the speed.
Moreover, there were still two living people inside, and he hoped to get information about Zhongyi from them.
"Are we going back now?" Lu Shanshan was quite worried about encountering danger when she first set out, but she had no choice but to agree when Chen Mu personally asked her to come along. However, now that they had just gotten into the excitement, she felt reluctant to leave.
But now, with such a large group, they had become a conspicuous target, and it's possible that Zhongyi's people were already searching for them all over the world.
"If you feel unsatisfied, we can come out again next time. After all, we are going to establish an external team. Even if you're not a regular member, as long as you're interested, you can apply to join us on future trips," Chen Mu said.
"That sounds interesting," Xue Xu agreed.
Chen Mu was about to speak when he heard He Ying say, "They're coming after us."
Everyone turned around and saw more than a dozen people chasing them from behind.
Wei Dalei heard the voices and hurried to accelerate, but Chen Mu stopped him, saying, "We can't run away; that will only expose our base."
"What should we do then?"
"Fight."
"Are they from Zhongyi?" He Ying tightly gripped the short sword in her hand.
"It seems so."
"Did they deal with Qingbei's people?"
"It seems like they knew about Qingbei's ambush early on, so they set up an ambush themselves. They just don't know if Song Yu and the others managed to escape."
It had only been a few minutes since Chen Mu and the others left the canteen, and if Zhongyi had already dealt with Qingbei's people, there was indeed a possibility that they could catch up along the way.
However, judging from the number of pursuers, even if Zhongyi achieved victory in the battle against Qingbei, they suffered significant losses. There were not many who could continue to fight.
With the small group of people they had, Chen Mu wasn't too worried.
While they hesitated, Wei Dalei's third grenade arrived as scheduled.
One person quickly rushed out from the crowd, raising both hands in the air.
Chen Mu remembered that this person was the one who had played a defensive role in the battle against Qingbei, capable of creating an air barrier.
But obviously, this person's ability wasn't particularly strong, and after the previous battle, they had expended a lot of mental energy. The grenade pierced through the air barrier, though its speed did slow down momentarily, it couldn't be completely stopped.
The grenade hit the ground.
And this time, Wei Dalei threw it a bit too hard. It was supposed to pass over the crowd, but because of the air barrier, it ended up detonating right in the middle of the group.
Hardly anyone could escape from that explosion.
The person who created the air barrier was the first to be hit. The grenade fell almost straight behind him and exploded. Five or six steel balls shot into his body, fortunately missing vital areas like the back of his head.
However, his back was covered in blood, and whether he could survive would depend on his luck.
Seeing that Wei Dalei's three grenades were successful, Chen Mu didn't want to prolong the fight. He didn't want to engage in decapitating his enemies, as it was too risky and he didn't want to take unnecessary chances. Besides, the opponents couldn't clearly see their appearances.
"Give me two more, Boss," Chen Mu requested.
"That's enough; don't waste them. The Squad Leader worked hard to make these," Wei Dalei replied.
These grenades were specially made according to Chen Mu's specifications, and it indeed required a lot of effort from Dong Junwei to control the explosion within a fixed range.
Just like with Chen Mu's ability, the most challenging aspect of infusing energy by Dong Junwei was precise control. It was easy to deplete her mental energy if she wasn't careful. Accurately controlling the input to ensure that all the grenades had the same level of power required extensive practice.
On this trip, Chen Mu carried a total of twelve enhanced grenades, specifically for dealing with such unexpected situations.
Now, it seemed that the effect was quite good.
