The next morning, at the break of dawn.
Cheng Youquan and the other two packed their things and went downstairs to meet Old Chen.
This trip was completely spontaneous, and they hadn't prepared any outdoor adventure gear.
They only brought a change of clothes, as if they were going on a casual trip.
So, even though they had done some frantic buying the night before, they didn't acquire much useful gear, mostly just food and water.
But this wasn't a significant issue.
After all, Old Chen didn't expect them to venture too deep this time.
At most, they were just going to drive around the outer area and would return by afternoon, like a day trip to the suburbs for some fishing.
"It's not early anymore. By the time we get there, it'll probably be past ten o'clock. Let's get going."
Old Chen rolled down the car window, gesturing for the three to get in.
He was driving a large SUV, quite suitable for this trip.
