Zuo Mingdong saw that they had come, but he did not have time to chat. He just raised his chin and signaled for them to wait at the side. Zuo Mingdong only walked toward them after everything was arranged properly.

“When we set off in a while, your cars will follow me. There are a total of four cars leading us. The rest of them will follow behind us and walk slowly.”

Du Yue nodded and asked, “When are we leaving?”

“Well set off immediately. Our cars won’t drive too fast on this road. You’ll follow us slowly.” Zuo Mingdong gave her a walkie-talkie after he finished speaking. “It’s still the same as before. If there’s anything, use the walkie-talkie to communicate. 1’11 also give Shen Teng a walkie-talkie.”

After saying that, Zuo Mingdong walked toward Shen Teng’s car with the walkie-talkie. A minute later, Du Yue saw Zuo Mingdong leave Shen Teng’s car and quickly get into the leading car.

Seeing that the two cars in front were starting slowly, He Xing stepped on the accelerator and followed closely behind. Just as Zuo Mingdong had said, the car in front was driving very slowly, at most about 50 miles per hour. After all, it was dark outside and there were no street lamps on the road. They could only turn on the headlights, and the visibility was only a few meters. Naturally, they could not speed up.

After driving for a while, Zuo Mingdong contacted them through the walkie-talkie. “The coal mine we’re going to is about 10 hours away from our starting point. In order not to waste time, we’ll only stop for a 20-minute break three times in these ten hours. The journey is long. He Xing and Du Yue, you can take turns to drive. Shen Teng, you don’t have to worry about your car. When it’s time to stop and rest, I’ll send someone to take over for you.”

Although the journey was long, Zuo Mingdong had already arranged everything before they set off. Du Yue and the other two only had to follow them. It was actually very easy.

After the second stop, He Xing and Du Yue changed seats and Du Yue drove the rest of the way. He Xing did not remain idle in the pa.s.senger seat. From time to time, he would pick up his phone to check something or pick up the map to look at the next route.

The information that Du Yue had prepared was very complete. There was basically all kinds of information. She had marked some of the information in advance, but there was also a lot of unmarked information. If he wanted to find something, he could only slowly look for it. However, He Xing did not lack patience. He did not find it boring.

After the car drove for more than two hours, He Xing looked up and said to Du Yue, “I found relevant information about this coal mine. The information shows that this coal mine is rich in resources and the quality of the coal produced is excellent.” Hearing He Xing’s words, Du Yue was not excited at all.

It was impossible for a coal mine with such rich resources to be without an owner. There must have been an owner before the apocalypse, not to mention after the apocalypse when all kinds of resources were scarce. The coal mine became a money tree in everyone’s eyes. There were definitely many people who wanted to take the coal mine for themselves.

They did not know if the coal mine had been confiscated or if it still belonged to someone else. No matter what the situation was, it would be difficult for them to bring the coal back from here.

Although Du Yue thought of this, she was not too worried. Since Zuo Mingdong had decided to come here, he must have antic.i.p.ated all kinds of unexpected situations and thought of countermeasures. If things changed, they would just listen to Zuo Mingdong’s arrangements. Even if they really had to fight, they were not afraid.

After driving for more than two hours, Zuo Mingdong’s voice came from the walkie-talkie again. “Everyone, get ready. We’re about to reach the place.”

As soon as he finished speaking, He Xing took out the binoculars from his bag and looked ahead. From a distance, he could only see scattered lights in the distance. Just from the light, it was certain that there were people in the coal mine, and the number of people could not be underestimated.

10 minutes later, the four cars slowly stopped. They finally arrived at the entrance of the coal mine. However, a large iron gate at the entrance of the coal mine blocked their way. There was no one guarding the iron gate, but there was a small square hole in the iron gate. From the outside, they could see that there were people moving inside.

They had just parked the car when they heard a loud voice shouting from the gate. “Who are you?”

Zuo Mingdong rolled down half of the window and put the loudspeaker to his mouth as he answered, “We’re all from the first base. My name is Zuo Mingdong, the captain of the base. We came here to exchange some coal with you..”
