"Damn it, trouble." Douglas came over and took a look. "Military radio. These guys have backup, we need to run fast!"
"Get in the car quick!" Elijah gestured with his hand. "We've been marked."
Platoon Leader Wang's face was a mask of embarrassment. Needless to say, the reason everyone was put on alert was only one thing: his precious son.
But that was not something easy to say.
Several people got into the car, then made a slanting move to return to the road.
Going back the same way was obviously an easy way to get caught by anyone who might come after them.
However, this detour took them far off course.
As they continued to circle around sand dunes, eventually, drivers Douglas and Elijah lost track of how far they were from the highway.
With no choice, they stopped the car, transferred the fuel they found from those guys' cars into their own vehicle, and rested in the car's shadow, eating to replenish their energy.
