70: Chapter 70 Arrival: The Crew is Shocked!

Qingcheng, the outdoor filming location for 'The Wandering Earth'.

After a six-hour long-distance journey, Xu Hao and his party finally arrived.

Sitting in the jeep with Zhu Deze, he could see the 'The Wandering Earth' film crew from a distance.

As the grand convoy slowly approached the set, the dull roar of the armored vehicles and the beast-like engine sounds of the Doomsday Vehicles immediately caught the attention of the crew members.

They turned their heads in unison, spotting the perfectly aligned convoy kicking up clouds of dust in its wake.

The crew members were instantly stunned!

"What's going on? Why is there a convoy coming to our set?"

Someone cried out in surprise.

It was too sudden; they hadn't received any notification at all.

This convoy had entered the 'The Wandering Earth' filming set without warning.

From the looks of it, it was a fleet of large heavy trucks, as the roar of their engines could be heard from far away.

"Wait! This... this is a military convoy!!"

A sharp-eyed staff member shouted upon seeing the armored vehicle at the front and the olive-drab transport trucks behind it.

Why would a military convoy be heading toward their film set?

Everyone was filled with doubt, falling into a state of self-questioning.

It didn't seem like they had done anything illegal since 'The Wandering Earth' started filming, right?

Even if they had, it wouldn't warrant the Dragon Kingdom military taking direct action, would it?

For a moment, the crew members were curious, wanting to know what this convoy was for.

At the same time, they were extremely nervous, worried that the convoy had come with ill intentions to cause trouble.

Director Guo Fan, who was currently reviewing the script, was also drawn in by the convoy.

He took off his headphones, put down the script, and looked into the distance at the convoy.

Guo Fan was initially surprised—why would a military convoy suddenly appear here?

Then, he seemed to remember something, and his brow twitched.

"Hiss..."

He took a sharp breath, suddenly understanding what was happening.

"This is the 'small convoy' Chairman Xu mentioned? This is a damn small convoy?!"

Yesterday, he had told Xu Hao that 'The Wandering Earth' was about to begin outdoor filming.

Xu Hao had assured him that he would personally send a small convoy to deliver the props.

Now, seeing this suddenly appearing, grand-scale convoy, he immediately realized this was Xu Hao's fleet.

However, this convoy was led by military armored vehicles, with more armored vehicles bringing up the rear.

The entire team was guarded by armed soldiers of the military.

And he called this an ordinary small convoy?

If someone said they were going to expand the national borders, he wouldn't even doubt it!

While he was dazed, the convoy arrived before the crew. The lead armored vehicle pulled to the side, making way for the jeep behind it.

Xu Hao stepped down from the jeep.

Seeing Guo Fan, Xu Hao said with a smile:

"Director Guo, I've brought the props to you!"

Xu Hao walked forward and shook hands with Guo Fan.

Hearing his words, Guo Fan was speechless.

Guo Fan: "???"

Guo Fan thought to himself: "Are you delivering props or an armed escort?"

Nevertheless, he politely shook Xu Hao's hand and offered a warm greeting: "You've worked hard, Chairman Xu!"

He looked past Xu Hao and saw Zhu Deze standing behind him. Feeling his imposing aura and cold expression, Guo Fan didn't dare say what was on his mind.

He was secretly amazed:

"Even though this man isn't in uniform, he clearly looks like someone who has been on a battlefield. His aura is completely different from an ordinary person's."

At the same time, he thought to himself again.

The importance the Dragon Kingdom authorities placed on Xu Hao was truly extraordinary.

They actually dispatched so many soldiers to personally escort him.

Furthermore, Xu Hao had such a powerful person protecting him by his side.

It was evident that Xu Hao's weight in the eyes of the Dragon Kingdom authorities was already out of the ordinary.

Guo Fan took a secret deep breath, composed himself, and smiled at Xu Hao:

"Chairman Xu, you've traveled a long way. Thank you for your trouble!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Xu Hao, Actor Wu Jing also walked up from the back of the set and greeted Xu Hao warmly.

"Chairman Xu, long time no see, I've missed you!"

Actor Wu Jing laughed and gave Xu Hao a brief hug.

Intentionally or not, he locked eyes with Zhu Deze, who was standing behind Xu Hao.

Looking at the other man's sharp gaze, Actor Wu Jing was surprised.

That familiar aura made him realize instantly:

This man is a martial artist, and a very formidable one at that!

Without going through life-and-death combat, one wouldn't have that kind of aggressive, almost tangible killing intent.

Actor Wu Jing had spent time in the military before, so he could clearly feel the aura of a soldier.

Involuntarily, he regarded Xu Hao with even more importance.

To have the Dragon Kingdom authorities send someone like this to provide close protection, Xu Hao's status was likely even more significant than he had imagined.

The thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Actor Wu Jing suppressed his shock and remained silent.

However, he then thought about the massive convoy and the importance the military placed on Xu Hao and these props.

His heart suddenly bloomed with joy.

If that were the case, these film props were entities personally recognized by the Dragon Kingdom military.

Quality-wise, they were absolutely guaranteed.

The props used for 'The Wandering Earth' were on the same level as the military's.

Wouldn't the resulting film effects be explosive?!

Thinking of this, Actor Wu Jing couldn't wait to start filming immediately.

Every time he recalled the feeling of personally experiencing the Doomsday Vehicle at Xu's Heavy Industry, his blood boiled with excitement.

While filming the indoor scenes, he had been thinking about driving the Doomsday Vehicle again for the outdoor shots.

After longing for it day and night, it was finally about to come true!

Xu Hao reminisced with Director Guo and Actor Wu Jing for a while.

Actor Wu Jing, unable to wait any longer, finally asked Xu Hao:

"Engineer Xu, how about we take a look at the film props?"

Actor Wu Jing had a smile on his face, his eyes filled with unconcealable anticipation.

Director Guo beside him was the same; he had been looking forward to this batch of props for several months.

Now that they had finally arrived, he could no longer suppress the anticipation in his heart.

Xu Hao took in the expressions on their faces, couldn't help but chuckle, and nodded.

"Let's go! Let's see the props!"

Xu Hao took the lead and walked toward the convoy.

Zhu Deze followed closely behind him.

Director Guo and Actor Wu Jing's eyes sharpened slightly, and they hurriedly followed.

Once they all arrived in front of the convoy, Xu Hao nodded to Zhu Deze.

Seeing this, Zhu Deze waved his hand and ordered:

"Unveil the cloths, open the bays!"

As his voice fell.

Instantly, two soldiers stepped down from each vehicle.

They were solemn, their movements swift and their steps synchronized.

With agile speed, they climbed onto the edges of the Doomsday Vehicles and unfastened the buckles of the olive-drab tarps.

Then, they jumped down and simultaneously pulled back the cloths.

In an instant.

The Doomsday Vehicles were all displayed before the film crew.

The sound of sharp breaths being drawn echoed across the scene:

"Hiss..."

Everyone's eyes widened, their faces filled with shock.

They stared blankly at the ten Doomsday Vehicles, speechless for a long time before finally bursting out with exclamations:

"Holy shit! These are damn props?!"
