Embers Ad Infinitum

nts due to a lack of corresponding knowledge.

Although there was some sense of anticipation, Gauden didn’t let his guard down.
He immediately got his subordinates to urge the others to work as quickly as possible, transferring some of the supplies on the dock over and making preparations for an attack.

In the next second, the PA system sounded in the quiet night.
“Therefore, we have to remember that when facing things we don’t understand, we have to humbly seek guidance and put down the prejudices brought about by experience.
Do not be filled with conflicting emotions from the beginning.
Adopt an attitude of accepting everything and learn, understand, grasp, and accept…”

The slightly magnetic male voice echoed in the area and entered the ears of every smuggler.

As soon as the voice sounded, Gauden and the others entered their intended positions and waited for the enemy to appear.

However, no subsequent attacks happened.
Even the male voice on the radio calmed down after repeating the same words twice.

Everything was so quiet.

Gauden and the others looked at each other in confusion.
If not for the fact that they still hadn’t moved a majority of the goods, they definitely would’ve immediately evacuated the dock and distanced themselves from this strange matter.

But now, wealth gave them courage.

“Continue! Hurry!” Gauden left his hiding spot and hurried his subordinates.
Just as he said that, he saw two cars drive over one after another.

One was a gray-green jeep, and the other was a black SUV.

In the SUV, Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo were very nervous.
They felt that they were like children playing house by heading straight to Pier 1 without making any preparations.

They had no confidence at all and felt seriously insecure.

The bearded Gauden was just about to raise his submachine gun and summon his subordinates to respond to the attack when someone in the grayish-green jeep held a loudspeaker and shouted, “Friends!”

Yeah, they’re friends…
Gauden believed the statement.

His men believed it as well.

The two vehicles drove into Pier 1 one after another.

Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and the others acted very friendly and put away their weapons.

“Did the transaction go smoothly today?” Shang Jianyao stuck his head out the window and asked in a familiar manner.

“Not bad.” Gauden heaved a sigh of relief.
Since they were friends, the alarm could be lifted.

Shang Jianyao pointed at the ship at the dock.
“Didn’t you say that you’d give us a ride across the river?”

“Haha, I almost forgot.” Gauden pointed at the door to the ship’s belly.
“Go on in.”

He and his subordinates believed Shang Jianyao’s words without any doubt.

The two vehicles drove into the belly of the ship one after another.
There were many wooden crates stacked here, but there was still ample space.

Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo were stunned by the development.
They had all seen Awakened abilities, but they had never seen such ridiculous, exaggerated, and terrifying abilities!

If not for following them the entire time, they definitely would’ve thought that October Xue’s team had long known these smugglers and had even cooperated with them before.
They could obtain help simply by alerting them of the situation slightly beforehand.

Just a PA broadcast made everyone who heard the content choose to help us? Han Wanghuo managed to compose his chaotic thoughts with great difficulty.
He didn’t let the car deviate from the route and stopped inside and near the ship’s belly door.

From his point of view, this had already exceeded the category of superpowers.
It was almost akin to a myth left behind by the Old World.

At this moment, the two of them raised their judgment of October Xue’s team’s strength again.

Han Wanghuo felt that the other party was clearly much stronger than back in Redstone Collection—much, much stronger.

After a while, the loading of cargo was done.
The plank bridge in the ship’s belly was retracted, and the door closed.

With the whirring sound of machinery, the ship left Pier 1 and headed for the opposite shore of the Red River.
On the way, it encountered the patrolling First City coast guards.

The other party didn’t stop the ship.
Just as the two parties brushed past each other, they sent someone to shout, “If you can push the transactions back, do so.
The situation is a little tense now, so the higher-ups might send people over to inspect and supervise at any moment!”

The ship owner replied, “No problem.”

As time passed, a hidden dock surrounded by mounds and hills appeared diagonally ahead of the ship heading upstream.

Many torches were lit here, mixed with some electric lamps that illuminated the surrounding area.

At this moment, many cars and people were waiting at the dock.

The ship sailed over and stopped at the designated spot.

The door to the ship’s belly opened again, and the drawbridge was set up.

Upon seeing this, the ship owner and the smugglers’ leader on the deck heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, they heard a revving sound.
Right on the heels of that, a grayish-green jeep and a black SUV flew out of the ship’s belly and onto the shore.

They didn’t stop or slow down.
They slammed through the obstacles and crazily raced toward the mounds and hills.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Da! Da! Da!

After a few seconds, the smugglers remembered to fire.
However, the two cars had already pulled away.

Before the gunshots subsided, all that was left behind was their back figures that disappeared into the darkness.
