Chapter 1351 An Unwelcome Encounter
Chapter 1351 An Unwelcome Encounter
"The weather is so fucking hot!" A rough voice cursed, "I've been out for a few days now, and I haven't even dried my clothes. This bowl of rice is really not for people to eat!"
Another person laughed softly: "Old Guan, this is not the first time for you to go this way. Why do you still have so many complaints? It is hard work in this line of work, but it pays a lot. Every time you pay money, you are always She's smiling!"
Guan Zhenxing muttered: "Nonsense, who is not happy when they get the money? But the money is too hard to earn, and it's really not worth the risk of being arrested!"
At this time, another voice with a strange accent said in a deep voice: "Guan Zhenxing, if you think it's not worth it, don't participate next time, just go back and be your coolie!"
Xiaguan Zhenxing was in a hurry, and stammered: "Boss, you know I didn't mean that, I..."
The other person also interceded for Guan Zhenxing: "Boss, you also know that Lao Guan just loves to complain, so don't take it to heart!"
Guan Zhenxing nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, boss, don't take it to heart!"
"Hmph, since you still want to eat this bowl of rice, then watch your mouth!" The person called the boss said in a strange tone: "There is a forest clearing ahead, rest there for an hour, put your clothes, shoes and socks Let’s go on the road after drying!”
Hearing the three people's voices getting closer and closer, Zhao Lei couldn't help but secretly sighed.
The so-called clearing in the forest must be the place where Zhao Lei dug the meteorite.Judging from the conversation just now, these people are definitely not kind people. If they know about the meteorite, it will be another trouble.
Zhao Lei was right. The three people, headed by the Thai Somchai, were doing smuggling.In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, they chose to travel through remote mountains and old forests.When meeting other people, in order not to reveal their whereabouts, they often act very aggressively.It was for this reason that Wang Jun and the others dared not cross the river before.
Just when Zhao Lei was secretly worried, Guan Zhenxing, who was walking in the front, had already come to the edge of the open space, and immediately said in surprise: "Hey, why is someone digging here?!"
This guy's attack immediately aroused the vigilance of the other two. The leading Thai man, Somchai, immediately drew out his machete, looked at the open space in front of him vigilantly, and gestured for the other two to split up and outflank him.
Zhao Lei beside the meteorite also knew that he had been discovered, so he climbed out of the pit helplessly and said to the other side with a smile, "How are you!"
Seeing that there were indeed people in the glade, the three of them became more vigilant, Somchai stared at Zhao Lei closely and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?!"
Zhao Lei was going to try to see if he could fool him, so he pretended to be harmless to humans and animals and said, "I'm a botanist, and I came here to collect plant samples."
"Botanist?" Guan Zhenxing looked at Zhao Lei suspiciously and said, "Even if you are collecting plant samples, what are you digging such a big hole for?!"
Zhao Lei took it for granted: "Of course it is to collect the roots of plants. To collect complete plant samples, this must be done."
Somchai didn't care what Zhao Lei was doing here, and asked him with a gloomy expression: "Are you alone? Going into the jungle alone is very dangerous!"
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Zhao Lei said cheerfully, "Anyway, I'll go back after only staying for a day. There won't be any danger."
Speaking of this, Zhao Lei also looked at Somchai and the others curiously, and asked seemingly casually, "Why are you here?"
Hearing that Zhao Lei said he was alone, Somchai and the others were secretly relieved.Several people secretly exchanged glances, Guan Zhenxing immediately said loudly: "Don't mind your own business, don't ask what you shouldn't, otherwise..."
When the guy said this, he deliberately showed the machete in his hand, and the threat was very obvious.
But Somchai was more direct, looking at Zhao Lei with pity and said: "Leave all the equipment, food and water, and get out!"
Zhao Lei was surprised: "Leave all these things, how can I get out?"
"Hehe, this is not something we need to worry about!" Guan Zhenxing approached Zhao Lei with a smirk and said, "Do as we say immediately, otherwise... don't blame me for being rude!"
Another smuggler, Zhang Tao, said coldly to Zhao Lei: "The hole you dug is quite big, it's more than enough to bury one person!"
In fact, the plan of Somchai and others is very clear, that is to snatch all of Zhao Lei's supplies, delay his progress in leaving the jungle, and prevent Zhao Lei from going to the police.
As for whether Zhao Lei, who lost his supplies, would die in the jungle, Somchai and the others never thought about it.In the eyes of these guys, as long as people are not killed by them, it has nothing to do with them.
Of course, if Zhao Lei doesn't obey Somchai and the others' orders, they don't mind teaching this so-called "botanist" a lesson by themselves.Anyway, this is a deep mountain and old forest where there are few people, and no one will know what happened.What's more, Zhao Lei has dug a big hole in advance, which is really convenient for Somchai and others.
Seeing Songchai and the others slowly crowding around, all looking malicious, Zhao Lei also lowered his face and said coldly: "If I were you, I would hurry up and get out with my things!"
Guan Zhenxing sneered and said, "You are quite fierce, do you know what we do?"
"I'm not interested in knowing." Zhao Lei said in a deep voice, "It's better not to offend the river. I don't want to kill people today!"
"You're still killing people, and I'm not afraid that Dafeng will flash his tongue if you say this!" Zhang Tao said mockingly: "Looking at your appearance, I'm afraid you haven't even killed a chicken before!"
"Haha, I think so too!" Guan Zhenxing was amused by these words, and laughed wantonly.
However, before this guy finished speaking, Zhao Lei rushed towards him quickly.
Guan Zhenxing only saw the figure flash by, and before he could react, he felt a pain in his wrist, and Zhao Lei had snatched the sharp machete from him.
Zhao Lei, with the machete in his hand, didn't stop at all, he rushed to the edge of the open space, aimed at a big tree with the mouth of a bowl, and chopped it down heavily.
The big tree was cut down neatly and fell slowly with a series of "clicks".The huge canopy hit the ground heavily, and the sound was astonishing.
Zhao Lei stood next to the felled tree, looked coldly at Somchai and the others and said, "I repeat, I don't want to kill anyone today!"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Lei was so powerful, and the faces of Somchai and others became very ugly.Although they have an advantage in numbers, they also know that once they make a move, their side has absolutely no hope of winning, and they will undoubtedly be chopped to the ground by Zhao Lei one by one.
"Don't, don't be impulsive!" Guan Zhenxing, who was still very arrogant just now, immediately gave up, and hurriedly said loudly to Zhao Lei: "Let's go now, let's go now!"
