I can't talk to Professor Su anymore. After hanging up the phone, Gao Qi let out a long sigh of relief.
Watching Gao Qi make a phone call and then a video call, the dozens of onlookers sighed at the same time. When they sighed, there was an indescribable sense of satisfaction and disappointment.
Niu Lidong said doubtfully, "Why did you stop after just a few sentences? I wanted to ask how my dad and the others are doing."
Gao Qi said apologetically, "I'm sorry, but it's really inconvenient this time. Professor Su just asked me about the situation here. If I didn't quickly change the topic and hang up the phone, I wouldn't be able to finish talking. Even if I ran out of battery, I wouldn't be able to."
"What do you mean?"
Gao Qi said faintly, "Professor Su thinks that without investigation, he has no right to speak. If he knows that I'm here, then he will definitely find out how the wasteland people live here and what their living conditions are like. Most importantly, if he knows that the people around me are all bandits, then he will definitely want to find out what happened, and then … you understand."
Niu Lidong said honestly, "I don't understand. What will Professor Su do?"
"Uh, I don't know what will happen to him, but I don't want to go against his teachings from the bottom of my heart. If he tells me that wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance. If he wants me to lead the wasteland people here to fight against oppression and save the slaves, then what will I do?"
Anna frowned, "Isn't that what you want to do?"
Gao Qi shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, I just want to achieve my goal. I don't want to be a great liberator. But if Professor Su asks me to do something, I can't refuse him. That way, at least I won't be as flexible. To be honest, I just don't want Professor Su to know what I'm doing."
To put it bluntly, Gao Qi was afraid that Professor Su would put moral shackles on him. Although he wasn't sure if Professor Su would do that, it was always right to nip the problem in the bud.
At this moment, Chuck looked at Gao Qi and said cautiously, "You're holding a phone, right? Can I have a look? I'm just … just taking a look. "
After Anna translated Chuck's words, Gao Qi was very surprised. He handed the phone to Chuck and even opened the screensaver so that Chuck could see the lit screen.
Chuck's breathing stopped. He looked at the screen of the phone, and then, as if he was holding a rare treasure, he carefully raised the phone and turned it in a circle, letting his subordinates see the bright screen of the phone.
Sounds similar to moans rose and fell one after another, followed by sounds of excitement, lament, or sad exclamations.
"Oh my God …"
"Oh, my God."
"This is a cell phone. Yes, this is a cell phone!"
When the phone in Chuck's hand turned black because the time was up, Chuck took a deep breath and said with a satisfied voice, "Thank you! Thank you very much. "
Gao Qi took the phone and said in surprise, "It's just a cell phone."
Chuck's eyes widened and he said with dissatisfaction, "What do you mean it's just a cell phone? This is a cell phone! This is … this is … this is the crystallization of civilization. This is the carrier of civilization. This thing can do anything. This is a sacred cell phone! "
The memory and worship of the lost industrial civilization and the era of information explosion were concentrated on the cell phone. Gao Qi understood.
"Okay, we can go now."
Gao Qi waved his hand and gave the order. The group of criminals who only saw Gao Qi's phone call now looked like they had witnessed an amazing miracle. Then, they excitedly discussed and started to get busy.
These criminals were in a different state of mind.
Since he had already made the call, Gao Qi thought that he might as well call Huang Fei.
It was daytime here, but it was still night in Chaoxi City. Gao Qi didn't remember when he called Professor Su, but he definitely understood now. However, he didn't care about waking Huang Fei up in the middle of the night.
The phone rang for a long time before Huang Fei finally picked it up. Then, with a heavy nasal voice and a little nervous, he said, "A Screwdriver, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing. I just want to make a call."
Huang Fei was immediately angry. He tried to lower his voice and said angrily, "Why did you call if there's nothing? It's the middle of the night. When I heard the phone ring, I was afraid that something had happened to you. It's the middle of the night. Are you crazy?"
"I'm just asking if there's anything on your side …"
"Nothing, go away! Next time, don't call me in the middle of the night. "
Huang Fei hung up without hesitation. Gao Qi shrugged awkwardly. Then, he said to Anna, "Uh, uh, forget it. Let's go."
The trouble with burning wood was that it had to be warmed up. In the time it took Gao Qi to make two calls, most of the cars were ready to go.
After getting in the car and closing the door, Gao Qi said to Chuck, who was acting as the driver, "Let's go."
After a few shakes, the car slowly started moving.
The road was still okay. The asphalt road was very smooth. However, there was a crack on the road that hadn't been maintained for many years. Some weeds and shrubs grew in the crack. The shrubs on both sides of the road occupied some of the width of the road. However, Chuck and the others had already cleaned the road before coming, so it was much easier for them to go back.
This was a really long trip. Gao Qi felt very comfortable. He asked Chuck, "How long will it take us to go back?"
"About three days. If we don't rest, two days should be enough."
"That long? That's not fast. "
Gao Qi thought for a moment and said, "So, how many people did you bring this time? What weapons did you bring?"
Chuck held the steering wheel with his left hand and waved his right hand. "Two hundred people, but most of the ability users came. Of course, they are all dead. In addition, we brought twelve M2 heavy machine guns, fourteen light machine guns, both 5.56mm and 7.62mm caliber. We also brought seven M72 rocket launchers, two AT4 rocket launchers, and two 81mm mortars."
Gao Qi frowned. "So few rocket launchers and mortars? How many shells do you have? "
"Five shells."
"Five shells? You only brought five shells? "
Chuck was a little embarrassed. "Actually, only five shells. These are all the shells and rockets we have. Uh … I said we lost most of the ammunition."
There were a lot of people, but this kind of firepower was not strong. Gao Qi frowned. "Then, do you have a lot of bullets?"
"We have more than a thousand 12.7mm bullets. These are all the large-caliber bullets."
Gao Qi sighed. "You brought twelve heavy machine guns, but only a little more than a thousand bullets?"
"It's mainly because the heavy machine gun can scare people when it's displayed. Well, we usually use heavy machine guns to scare people. Well, actually, we don't have many bullets left. I mean, we don't have many types of bullets left. In fact, our main firepower is the ability users, but now they've all been killed by you. Uh, I'm not complaining …"
Gao Qi waved his hand and said, "I understand, I understand. Well, we can't just rely on ability users. Do you know where we can get bullets?"
