Chapter 82 Prepare to sneak in
That evening, everyone gathered for dinner again. Since the operation would begin the next day, Wang Hai had brought out some of his treasured supplies and prepared a nice meal. However, this time they ate separately. Zhao Liying, Han Xiaoling, and the Jin Linfei sisters sat at one table, while Li Chenglong and his group sat at another with Jin Hai and his group. Zhao Rui patted Wang Hai and said, "I didn't expect you guys to be so capable! You actually managed to take down Wu Xiaoyi's grain transport team and even managed to get Captain Li to sneak in." Wang Hai said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, I don't know that grain transport team."
Wang Bing nearly dropped his steamed bun: "What? How are we supposed to infiltrate the grain transport team?" Wang Hai glanced at his watch: "Based on our observations these past few days, Wu Xiaoyi's grain transport team regularly delivers grain to the city from the main road to the south at 6 AM every morning, with a convoy protecting them from both the front and rear. I figured you guys are so capable, you could definitely take them out, and then we could sneak in." Li Chenglong wasn't surprised: "Wang Bing, when you fight tomorrow, be careful to leave some survivors, and don't damage the vehicles, otherwise the city guards will notice." Jin Hai handed Li a detailed map of Jinlan City. Jackie Chan: "This was drawn by General Jin over a month ago. It's very detailed, with annotations for every little place. After you and Wang Hai enter the city, go directly to the Sith Casino in the outer city to find their boss, Liu Fu. He's a good friend of mine. He'll arrange a place for you to rest. Then you can go with Liu Fu to the central city to find Jin Hao. He's Wu Xiaoyi's staunch henchman. Liu Fu gives 60% of his income to Jin Hao every week. Because Wu Xiaoyi is inherently suspicious and changes locations almost every day, only by finding Jin Hao can you find Wu Xiaoyi."
With tomorrow's operation finalized, Li Chenglong asked one last question: "Uncle Jin, can we still use long-distance communication here, like radio or even video communication?" Uncle Jin shook his head: "Short distances won't work, but video calls between two adjacent states are still possible." Li Chenglong thought about it and agreed, because according to the trial introduction, this planet didn't have the concept of universe, so there was no way it could have satellites or anything like that. It was already 8 PM when they finished dinner. During the meal, Li Chenglong also brought out two cases of beer, the labels on each bottle already scraped off by him. Wang Hai and the others were overjoyed to see beer and thanked Li Chenglong profusely.
Li Chenglong concluded, "Alright, everyone get some rest. We'll get up at 5 a.m. tomorrow and arrive at the target location early to ambush them. What do you think, Wang Hai?" Wang Hai immediately replied, "That would be best. It takes us 25 minutes to ride horses to that grain transport route. We'll meet outside the building at 5:10 a.m. tomorrow."
Back in his room, Li Chenglong carefully considered his plan for tomorrow. It essentially consisted of three steps: first, take control of the grain transport team; second, find Jin Hao through Liu Fu; and finally, find Wu Xiaoyi and subdue them to seize control of the army and all power in Jinlan City. Li Chenglong checked the time; it was already 8:40 PM. Just as he was about to quickly wash up and go to bed, he suddenly remembered Jin Hai telling him that due to the recent hot weather, the wells they dug were almost dry. Water for cooking was sufficient, but there was definitely not enough for bathing.
Thinking of this, Li Chenglong first knocked on the door of Zhao Rui and Wang Bing's room. Inside, he placed a large bucket filled with 100L of warm water, two basins, a ladle, toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels, shampoo, and shower gel in their room, telling them to make do with their toiletries, but not to leave them lying around. Before leaving, Zhao Rui asked Li Chenglong for a few pieces of torn bread. After leaving Zhao Rui's room, Li Chenglong knocked on Zhao Liying's door. When Han Xiaoling opened it, he saw the Jin sisters, Jin Linfei and Jin Mengfei, there before he even entered. The four of them seemed to be playing some kind of game.
As soon as Zhao Liying saw Li Chenglong arrive, she quickly smiled and said, "Captain Li, this is a board game they're playing, it's quite fun, do you want to join in?" Li Chenglong waved his hand, "No need, there are so many girls here, it's a bit awkward for me, a man, to be here alone." After saying that, Li Chenglong immediately started taking out buckets. This time, because there were four girls in total, Li Chenglong took out two large buckets. Then he gave them some toiletries, but he had already secretly wiped off the labels from the shampoo and shower gel. As for the toothpaste, it was really difficult to remove the labels because the toothpaste packaging was too soft. Taking advantage of the Jin sisters' inattention, Li Chenglong secretly winked at Zhao Liying while holding the toothpaste, and Zhao Liying nodded to indicate that she understood.
Li Chenglong went to the bathroom to put away the buckets and basins. Since the two large buckets wouldn't fit, he placed one of them outside. He then handed the toothpaste to Zhao Liying for safekeeping before leaving. The Jin sisters were quite surprised to see so many buckets; they hadn't expected Li Chenglong to be so generous, providing so much water for everyone to bathe in, especially since they themselves hadn't bathed in a long time. Zhao Liying distributed smaller buckets, towels, shower gel, and shampoo to them, saying, "The bathroom definitely isn't big enough for all four of us. How about we take turns bathing, two at a time, and be careful not to bathe for too long."
"Yay!" Han Xiaoling cheered happily, then pulled Jin Mengfei into the bathroom. Zhao Liying smiled at Xiaoling, then looked at Jin Linfei who was staring at her and said, "Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?" Jin Linfei shook her head: "No, sister, are you Captain Li's wife?" "Ah?!" Zhao Liying exclaimed: "No, no, Captain Li and I are just superior and subordinate, or rather, colleagues." Jin Linfei sighed: "He's really good to you. Even my deceased father's attitude towards us has gotten worse and worse in the past two years since the zombie crisis broke out. Last year he even said that in order to strengthen the relationship between the two states, he was going to marry us off to his allies in other states. I saw how good he was to you, and since you two are close in age, I assumed you were his wife."
Zhao Liying shook her head: "No, but it's true that Captain Li is good to us." Then Zhao Liying and Jin Linfei chatted for a while longer. About twenty minutes later, Han Xiaoling and Jin Mengfei came out, each wrapped in a towel. Han Xiaoling said happily, "Sister Zhao, Linfei, you two go take a shower quickly." After Zhao Liying and Jin Linfei went inside, Jin Mengfei stared at Han Xiaoling and said, "Xiaoling, your skin is so good." Han Xiaoling, who was drying her hair, turned around and asked, "Really?" Jin Mengfei nodded: "Yes, I really observed you carefully when we showered together. Not only is your skin fair, but you don't even have a single mole or freckle, and your skin is so smooth!" As she spoke, Jin Mengfei moved closer to Han Xiaoling. The two soon started playfully teasing each other.
In fact, these are all effects of becoming awakened beings. Now, not only Han Xiaoling, but also Li Chenglong, Yun Lan, Zhao Liying, and Li Xue, who are also awakened beings, have all seen significant improvements in their appearance compared to before. For example, Zhao Liying, who is the oldest among them, would definitely be considered to be only eighteen or nineteen years old if no one knew her age.
