After a few minutes, Luo Yuan had arrived at the military base, atop his lizard.
As their return had long been informed, the surrounding army patrol showed no sign of unease, but from time to time, the soldier would stare towards their direction, keeping vigil.
The lieutenant picked up the walkie-talkie and started to establish contact.
A moment later, two heavy cranes towing an empty container each, appeared from the military base, followed by an SUV. The containers were set down, and behind it were seven to eight engineers donning safety helmets, alighting the SUV. One of them walked towards Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan pacified the stressed lizard as he dismounted. He briskly walked a few steps forward to greet the engineer.
