When driver Li Bo heard He Yuzhu's request, he rejected it outright.

"No, this truck is collectively owned. It is used to transport timber in our factory, not to solicit customers."

He Yuzhu heard this and immediately opened his chips.

"Comrade, we are not asking you to help us for free. We will pay you. How about 30 yuan plus 20 food coupons to give us a ride?"

When the truck driver Li Bo heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, and his tone became kinder.

"Is that so? All right, that's no problem, get in the car."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Yuzhu called on the accompanying personnel to get in the car.

Since domestic transportation was not very developed at that time, there were very few cement roads or asphalt roads. They were all gravel roads or yellow mud roads. It took a whole day and night to drive from Bingcheng to Mohe County to get here.

The journey was extremely miserable for He Yuzhu and others sitting in the back of the car. It was truly a bumpy ride, but fortunately He Yuzhu and others were military men with strong physical fitness and endurance. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to bear it.

After arriving in Mohe County, He Yuzhu paid Li Bo food coupons and cash as agreed.

Seeing He Yuzhu so straightforward, Li Bo immediately asked,

"Comrade, you guys seem so mysterious, are you here to poach?"

He Yuzhu shook his head immediately after hearing this.

"Comrade, ask what you should ask, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Be careful of what you say.

Also, do you know any transportation to Arctic Town?

He Yuzhu's words made Li Bo realize that he had another business coming. He immediately said, "Comrade, please forgive me for being so nosy. If you want to go to Beiji Town, you have to take my car. Currently, there is no bus or fixed route from here to Beiji Town. Only our trucks can go there."

He Yuzhu understood what Li Bo meant. He just wanted to make money from them.

He smiled and immediately asked him,

"Comrade, please name a price. If it's suitable, we can continue to take your car to the Arctic Town."

When Li Bo heard what He Yuzhu said, he knew that this business had potential, and he immediately raised five fingers.

"50 yuan, 50 food coupons."

He Yuzhu laughed on the spot when he heard this.

"Hahaha, brother, you're asking for too much, why don't you just go and rob it?"

Li Bo was not moved at all by He Yuzhu's sarcasm, and said calmly,

"Comrade, I am not bragging. In the entire Mohe County, there is probably no one else who can take you to Beiji Town except me. And the roads there are all mountainous and difficult to travel. I think my price is already very reasonable."

He Yuzhu knew that this guy was deliberately trying to extort money from him, so he immediately opened his coat and revealed the pistol at his waist.

"Brother, what is this?"

When Li Bo saw the pistol on He Yuzhu's waist, he was stunned. He had guessed that this group of people were poachers, but after seeing the pistol, he immediately denied his previous idea because poachers all carried shotguns, and it was obvious that this group of people had some special mission.

He immediately changed his words and said, "Comrade, I'll take a small loss, 20 yuan, 20 food coupons."

He Yuzhu was not going to indulge him, so he immediately told him his bargaining chip.

"Comrade, I can only give you 10 yuan and 10 food coupons at most. If you don't agree, you should know the consequences."

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, the members of the action team behind him reached for their waists intentionally or unintentionally.

This made the driver Li Bo a little scared. He now regretted why he took the initiative to provoke these plague gods.

It was difficult for him to refuse now, so he had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, let's do as you say and let's go now."

He Yuzhu then sat in the passenger seat and kept a close eye on Li Bo, fearing that he might do something tricky.

As the truck started slowly, it drove directly away from Mohe City and headed towards the Arctic Town.

Along the way, it was just as Li Bo said, this mountain road was extremely difficult to walk on, because there were lush virgin forests on both sides. They were currently in the Greater Khingan Range, which was a paradise for wild animals.

He Yuzhu was still quite curious about how Li Bo used the bus for personal purposes, so he immediately asked,

"I say, Li Bo, you are using your logging truck privately, aren't you afraid of taking responsibility?"

In response to He Yuzhu's question, Li Bo simply replied,

"What are you afraid of? The director of the lumberyard is my brother. Who dares to cause trouble to me?"

When He Yuzhu heard the news, he was stunned. He really didn't expect that nepotism has become so serious now.

...................................

After another half day's drive, He Yuzhu and his party finally arrived at Beiji Town, which is located beside the Heishui River. After crossing the Heishui River, they would reach the territory of the Su State.

He Yuzhu's destination for this trip is a mountain in the Greater Khingan Range.

After they got off the bus, He Yuzhu stuffed the agreed food coupons and money into Li Bo's pocket.

Li Bo was a little surprised to see the 20 yuan and 20 food coupons stuffed into his pocket.

"Comrade, did you give too much?"

He Yuzhu heard this and shook his head.

"That's right. I didn't give you too much. I'd also like you to come back to Beiji Town to pick us up in three days. Of course, the price will be double this time. Is that a problem?"

Li Bo was naturally overjoyed when he heard what He Yuzhu said. He was very sure that this group of people must be here to do something big.

But since the other party is unwilling to say, I won't be foolish enough to ask. It would only cause unnecessary trouble and even fatal disaster, which would not be worth it.

Then he immediately assured He Yuzhu: "Comrade, don't worry, I will pick you up at the entrance of Beiji Town on time in three days. We will meet there then."

He Yuzhu nodded upon hearing this.

'Okay, it's a deal then.'

Then Li Bo drove the truck back along the same route.

He Yuzhu looked at the truck going away, his eyes became deep, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.

He and other members of the action team moved all the supplies unloaded from the truck to a hotel in the town and rented a room there.

Then he began to stroll around the Arctic Town, pretending to be a foreign tourist wandering around, but in fact he was observing the terrain layout here.

He could see the border town of the Soviet State on the other side of the Heishui River from a distance. It was brightly lit, and from time to time he could see some soldiers armed with live ammunition patrolling.
