So Lin Xian didn’t say much more and directly said
"If you take the highway and turn west at the Yunzhou Mountains, the cold air should be delayed a bit, but it probably won’t be much better, so I suggest you depart as early as possible and don’t linger."
Under the blizzard, even the Infinity with its Ice-breaking Shield couldn’t say it could make it through smoothly, so needless to say for these convoys, the time left for everyone to rest is not much.
The cold wind was blowing, and the entire Hengshan Pass was rapidly cooling down, with the temperature already close to 0 degrees.
Luo Yang nodded: "We’re planning to depart 2 hours before dawn; based on the travel direction and speed, dawn will be around 11:25 AM tomorrow, but it might get dark earlier at 6:20 PM."
Wu Zhenhai furrowed his brows: "Less than 7 hours left."
"The further north we go, this time will shorten even more. The Phoenix Society at the Xilan City station has already sent out a notification; they will completely withdraw from Xilan City in 4 days. According to our traveling speed, we must reach Xilin City within 3 days to have enough time to rendezvous with the Phoenix Society at Xilan City." Li Yi calculated clearly: "Considering the large-scale snowstorm, we really don’t have much time."
"Alright." Lin Xian stood up at this moment: "Everyone is exhausted tonight; the Power of Fear from those monsters might have caused some mental effects on the team, not to mention the black smoke poison from the Insect Tide, so I suggest you rotate shifts to guard and sleep, and distribute enough water and food tonight to stabilize the team’s atmosphere."
Lin Xian was concerned not only about the aftermath of the Power of Fear but also about the large-scale extermination of monsters and Abnormal Bodies. More or less, the hundreds of people present have been invaded by the black smoke. The Infinity has the Hell Black Chrysanthemum to convert energy and the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube to shield against fear invasion, but these convoys don’t, so if they don’t recuperate properly, mutations might happen.
But if handled well, these convoy members who have experienced fierce battles might secretly gain significant evolutionary improvements.
At this moment, Lin Xian pressed the communicator to arrange something, and soon, Da Lou and several partners from the Infinity carried over a few boxes of ammunition.
With a bang, they were placed outside the canopy.
"Captain Lin, what’s this?" Liao Ming was a bit stunned at this scene.
"Ammunition." Lin Xian took a deep breath: "You’ve basically exhausted your ammunition base tonight, and it might be tough to find supply points along the way. Besides, we have surpluses on our vehicles, so I’ll spare you some; otherwise, if you run into trouble tomorrow, you won’t be able to handle it."
Lin Xian and the members of the Infinity convoy were somewhat surprised; he originally thought that in the most desperate time facing the Insect Tide, these convoys would dash away, but unexpectedly, they nearly used up all their ammunition and closed ranks to lean on the Infinity.
This was completely a fight to the death; in this situation, Lin Xian couldn’t help feeling a bit emotional. He had known these convoys for only a few hours, but everyone indeed fought as if they were on the same boat, which deeply touched him.
So considering this, he allocated some of his vehicles’ original ammunition for their supplies, anyway, he could manufacture them in a few hours.
But for these hundreds of people’s large convoys, even traveling through several towns might not gather a few ammunition bases.
Currently, most ammunition supplies come from the Federation and Phoenix Society’s institutions’ outputs and some original industrial towns and military bases’ stockpiles. Relying solely on searching would find nothing, so convoys like Hu Lushou, who facilitate resource summaries and flows in this apocalypse, are rare. After all, it’s not just about having a cunning business mind; without strong team abilities, surviving till now and moving between large bases would be impossible.
"No, no, no, Captain Lin, this won’t do." Li Yi suddenly stood up, his lips dry, and said: "You saved so many of us, and we haven’t shown our gratitude, how could we accept your supplies?"
"Yes, we are not that kind of people!" Liang Lei looked at the supply boxes and was instantly dumbfounded.
Those new weapons and large amounts of ammunition were brand new and clean; they could trade for a lot of food outside, yet they were just given away.
"Captain Lin, this won’t work..." Liao Ming quickly said.
"Brother Lin." Luo Yang also stood up in a panic: "We..."
"No need to say more." Lin Xian said emphatically: "You all know the team’s current situation, if you could fight the Insect Tide for 5 more minutes now, I’ll take them back."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Lin Xian’s words hit the nail on the head. Now, let alone fighting for five minutes, gathering a base of ammunition for the entire team was difficult.
"Everyone is like me, carrying the burden of many lives on their shoulders. At this time, there’s no need for courtesy, staying alive takes precedence. If you want to thank me, we can talk about it if we meet in Xilan; joining the larger forces will ease everyone’s mind, right?" Lin Xian directly said.
Wu Zhenhai looked at Lin Xian with a complex expression, took a deep breath, stood up, and said
"Alright, Brother Lin, we’ll accept your help. I’ve been in the military for many years and don’t like to be pretentious, but I also don’t like taking things empty-handed." With that, he looked at Liao Ming: "Old Liao, bring that thing over, Brother Lin’s side has so many Superpower Users, they might find it
