Chapter 109 – A Two-Person Road Movie

Ning Fei quickly planned and executed his departure route.

He had originally considered leaving the group during the mission, but considering that those kids might waste extra time looking for him, or even report it to the Hui Chuan base, resulting in Ning Fei being found before he could get far, Ning Fei decided to act alone and leave the way he came.

Of course, the passing convoy was still arranged by Yu Zhou. Ning Fei had a level-three ability as a stepping stone, and most convoys welcomed him to hitch a ride. It was a good thing that he could earn money and have an extra bodyguard.

However, Ning Fei had to leave the base himself to meet up with the convoy. Therefore, on a dark and windy night, Ning Fei arrived at the entrance of the base.

Like other base personnel entering and exiting, he routinely swiped his identity chip. The guard at the gate glanced at the system and reminded him, “Hey buddy, the system is reporting a reminder. Your identity level requires you to report your entry and exit.”

Ning Fei had guessed this would happen, otherwise he wouldn’t have gone out so early in the night to prepare.

He was betting that the staff who were theoretically supposed to be on duty watching the system were actually slacking off. Because he knew some of the people who did this job, and they all said that everyone was slacking off on the night shift. Some were dozing off, some were concentrating on playing games, and some were even sneaking off to play cards. Moreover, the system would pop up many notices a day, so unless it was a top-level alarm, it would be at least broad daylight before the staff confirmed Ning Fei’s information about leaving the base gate.

“I know, anyway, it will automatically pop up a reminder to the background. Actually, my level is not high, and I still go out to do tasks all day long. Who has time to report back and forth every time? I always come back after being out for a short time, and no one has ever looked for me. I guess they don’t even look at it in the background,” Ning Fei said casually, took out a cigarette from his pocket, knocked out six in a row and handed them over. “I’m just going out to have some fun, you know. Recently, the base has been cracking down again, and can’t find a single hair, so I can only go out for a walk. I’ll be back when I’m done. Who wants to live outside with the conditions outside the base?”

As he spoke, the guards divided the cigarettes, and the one in front waved his hand, “Understood, understood, the number of people entering and leaving at night has increased these days. This matter has caused the base to want to be quieter, but it has increased the traffic at night…”

After saying a few jokes between men, Ning Fei was successfully released from the base.

He found a corner in the settlement area to stay for a few hours. When the sky was getting light, he set off to the rest stop where the trucks gathered to find the convoy he wanted to follow. This convoy was going to travel today and planned to leave by 7:30 at the latest, which was perfect for someone like Ning Fei who wanted to run away. It was just that the sky was still dark, and most of the drivers guarding the trucks were still sleeping, so naturally no large trucks would turn on their lights. In a large, dim parking lot, Ning Fei had to look closely to see the license plates, so he could only shuttle through these convoys, looking for the convoy he wanted to hitch a ride with.

Just as Ning Fei had looked at a little more than half of the trucks, he suddenly heard the sound of a vehicle approaching.

It was normal for vehicles to enter the parking lot, but the sound didn’t sound like a large truck, and someone was actually entering the rest area so early, so Ning Fei hid in the shadow of a large truck and peeked out.

Gradually approaching, it was actually an off-road vehicle… a Hummer!

When Ning Fei saw the familiar car model, he was stunned. When the car was only three or four meters away, Ning Fei was 100% sure that this was Duan Yunhong’s car!

Just as he was standing there in a daze, the Hummer stopped in front of him. The driver’s side window slowly lowered, revealing that familiar face. His gaze accurately found Ning Fei, and their eyes met, “Why are you hiding so far inside? Is someone chasing you?”

“…” Ning Fei was speechless for two seconds, and finally walked out from between the large trucks and stopped next to the car window, “What are you doing here?”

Duan Yunhong asked in return, “What do you think I’m doing here?”

“Are you here to personally catch me and take me back to Hui Chuan base?” Ning Fei put his hand on the car window, raised his eyebrows, “It can’t be to send me to Tian Yue, right?”

Duan Yunhong: “Why is it impossible?”

Ning Fei: “… Huh?”

He understood every word, but he didn’t seem to fully understand. He subconsciously asked, “What do you mean?”

“That’s what I mean.” Duan Yunhong gestured, “Get in the car.”

“No, wait a minute, are you serious?” Ning Fei’s expression finally became serious, “You’re going to Tian Yue? You alone?”

Duan Yunhong said, “It won’t be if I add you.”

“But why are you going? How did you get out?” Ning Fei still had many questions, “You’re the director of the research institute, Hui Chuan can’t just let you out so easily, right? Even if you’re going for academic exchange, it shouldn’t be just you…”

“Can’t you ask these questions after getting in?” Duan Yunhong raised his eyebrows, “When it’s time for most people to go to work, guess how many people will be looking for me or looking for you? Will they join forces to catch us?”

Ning Fei was silent for two seconds and confirmed, “Are you telling the truth? You won’t just step on the gas and send me back to Hui Chuan once I get in, right? If you really do that, you’ll taste the power of a level-three ability user plus bullets. You can also try the medicine from your research institute to see if it can cure penetrating injuries.”

Duan Yunhong glanced at him, “If you’re so cowardly, then don’t get in. I’m leaving. Wait until you get to Tian Yue and see if I’m there.”

“… Tsk. I’ll trust you once.” Ning Fei snorted and finally turned around from the front of the car and climbed into the passenger seat of the Hummer. As soon as he sat down, he took out his mobile phone, ready to send a message to the original convoy to say that he would not be traveling with them. Before he finished typing, he heard Duan Yunhong’s cold voice next to him, “Seatbelt.”

“What year is it, no one checks this… Okay, okay.”

Ning Fei fastened his seatbelt, deliberately making a “click” sound to Duan Yunhong, “Fastened, Director Duan, please check.”

Duan Yunhong didn’t answer at all. After confirming that the seatbelt was fastened, he directly started the vehicle and drove the Hummer out of the parking lot.

The morning sun was rising, and the chaotic wind blew through the windows, messing up hair and collars. Coupled with the rhythmic music, everything was like a road movie.

Unfortunately, the two people in the car were talking about serious matters – even their mobile phones were turned off.

“Now you can talk,” Ning Fei turned the music down a little and raised the window a little, so the wind noise was also reduced. “How did you get out? Don’t beat around the bush, just tell me if you reported it or not.”

Duan Yunhong really answered concisely: “I reported it.”

“How did you report it?”

“I just submitted an application on the system,” Duan Yunhong said lightly. “I said that several bottles of the new wound medicine developed and being tested by the research institute were missing, and I suspected that they were sent to other bases for research. I have a clue, so I have to set off overnight to investigate.”

Ning Fei: “…”

Ning Fei: “Are you hinting at me?”

Wasn’t it him who took the external spray Duan Yunhong gave him and stuffed a bottle to Zheng Liwen, so that he could take it back to Hui Chuan base for research to see if they could develop a “generic drug”. Although he didn’t say it, and Duan Yunhong didn’t ask, it was obvious that Duan Yunhong guessed his actions.

“What’s the difference if I hint or not?” Duan Yunhong replied, “Anyway, the medicine has already been sent to Tian Yue.”

“That’s true.” Ning Fei raked his hair that was messed up by the wind. “But your reason is too weak. Normally, even if you want to urgently chase after the medicine, you have to pull up a few combat teams to grab it, right? How can a research institute director personally come out, and still come alone? You’re even embarrassed to write this.”

Duan Yunhong calmly responded: “It’s just a formality. I approve all the action orders of the research institute.”

“Wow, self-produced and self-sold, right?” Ning Fei exclaimed, “Then you’re lawless in the research institute? A local tyrant!”

“The superiors can still hold me accountable,” Duan Yunhong replied. “It is estimated that the research institute will see my approval process during working hours, and then they will definitely look for me and report to the superiors. The calls to find me will not exceed two hours after work.”

Ning Fei asked a digression: “When will you turn on your phone?”

Duan Yunhong said: “In the afternoon, or in the evening. I have to go back, I can’t keep my phone off all the time.”

“Then I’ll turn it on after you turn it on.” Ning Fei said without thinking. “Hey, before the people from Hui Chuan contact you, won’t they think we eloped? Especially since I mentioned going back to Tian Yue before, others will definitely think I abducted you to Tian Yue, hahahaha…”

Duan Yunhong suddenly said: “Actually, the director of the ability user center looked for me, asking me to persuade you not to go to Tian Yue.”

“Ah?” Ning Fei was about to find something from his backpack for breakfast, and turned his head to look at him when he heard this, “Why didn’t you say it yesterday?”

“There’s nothing to say. I wouldn’t say it anyway, and you wouldn’t listen even if I said it.” Duan Yunhong paused and asked casually, “You didn’t turn on your phone either, won’t Yu Zhou look for you?”

“He’ll send a message and make a phone call, he won’t be anxious if there’s no reply. He’s so old, he’s not afraid of getting lost, right? Besides, I’ve already sent a message saying I’m not going with the convoy,” Ning Fei took out a sausage bread. “Speaking of which, I didn’t tell him you were going, I’ll give him a ‘surprise’ when the time comes, hahahaha!”

“He won’t lock me up and interrogate me…” Duan Yunhong said, but was stuck by the bread that was being fed to his mouth, and then moved his head back a little, “I don’t eat, I’ve already had breakfast.”

Ning Fei said “Oh” and didn’t persuade him, and took it back and ate it himself. After swallowing a bite, he asked again: “Then what is the purpose of your traveling thousands of miles to Tian Yue? Don’t tell me it’s just to see Yu Zhou? His face is really big enough.”

“One of the reasons.” Duan Yunhong didn’t even look at him, just looked at the lane in front of him. “I also want to see with my own eyes how far Tian Yue base has developed. The current Tian Yue must be different from the development in the original timeline. If I don’t go, I’ll be kept in the dark by you two. And Chen Yikun’s situation, I also have to confirm it myself.”

“Ha, okay, Director Duan wants to plan and make decisions, and wants to see it with his own eyes, then I can only welcome your ‘visit and guidance’.” Ning Fei paused and remembered something, “By the way, speaking of my hasty departure from Hui Chuan this time, I really have a little regret.”

“What regret?” Duan Yunhong asked, “Did you not take something?”

Ning Fei finished the bread in three strokes, and licked the bread crumbs on his fingertips, smiling at Duan Yunhong.

“It’s just that I couldn’t see Director Duan wearing a white coat with my own eyes, what a pity!”
