The first day was uneventful.
The second day was also uneventful.
The third day passed without incident, and even when more than half of the fourth day was over, there was still no trouble.
However, what "no trouble" means depends on the perspective. If encountering zombies or a few scattered bandits counts as trouble, then Gao Yuan and his group faced it every day.
But each time, they got through without any alarm or danger. Even when they encountered obstacles, they were able to resolve them relatively easily, without any crisis that would cause Zhao Qiang to worry.
So whether Zhao Qiang's sense of crisis was accurate or not was hard to say—he was concerned but might appear to be overreacting.
The car continued on its way, and just this morning, Gao Yuan and his company passed through Tashkent without encountering any particular danger. After passing Tashkent, the next major city would be Ashgabat, with several small and medium-sized cities along the way.
