At this moment, it was already 11:40 AM.
Ever since Li Yu entered N City, he had Li Hang slow down the car.
Moving forward slowly, he looked at the map; the Salvation Army headquarters was already not far, less than 300 meters away.
So, Li Yu had Li Hang find a relatively hidden spot to park the car.
This hidden spot was next to a few small roadside grocery stores, where several large trees grew exceptionally lush, especially with some evergreen plants beside them that had grown over 3 meters tall after heavy rains, making them incredibly dense.
It was a very concealed location.
With the vehicle parked, Li Yu and the others got out directly and walked towards the Salvation Army headquarters.
They walked slowly, maintaining a triangular formation.
And the last person in line kept an eye on the movements behind them.
Looking at the map, there was actually a row of civilian houses opposite the Salvation Army.
These houses were not tall.
But they were very close to the Salvation Army.
According to Li Yu and the others' usual habit, they would first observe the enemy's situation before taking action.
"Big Brother, let's go to this house; we won't have to go around, and it'll be harder to be discovered," Li Tie said, pointing to a house on the map.
Li Yu nodded, and then the group slowly walked another nearly 100 meters.
To avoid being discovered, everyone tried to find obstacles to move through.
A few minutes later.
The house Li Tie pointed to was right in front of them.
This house was a three-story civilian house, with several other houses beside it.
This house was directly opposite the factory that served as the Salvation Army headquarters.
Among the row of houses opposite, this one was at the very edge.
Li Yu looked at everyone behind him; there was no fear on their faces, and he could even see a hint of excitement in their eyes.
"Go!" Li Yu said softly.
The group quietly walked towards that house.
Meanwhile, at the Salvation Army, a refined man stood beside the Salvation Army Leader, reporting some information: "Brother Dian already took people there this morning. They should have arrived by now."
The Salvation Army Leader nodded, saying with some confusion, "We sent so many people. What exactly is going on? I should have gone with them this time. Sigh! What's Minister Zhang up to again today? I heard them arguing downstairs just now."
"Minister Zhang, he's set up a gambling game over there. Uh, it's two people fighting, and whoever loses pays some supplies."
"Supplies? What supplies do they still have?" the Salvation Army Leader asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Uh, just some women's items, and cigarettes. And some… meat," the refined man said.
The Salvation Army Leader hummed, then reminded him, "Later, go down and tell them not to let too many people die, understood?"
The refined man nodded and agreed, "Understood, Leader."
Leaving the Salvation Army aside, let's look at the outermost house outside the factory.
The outer layer of this house had developed some black spots, and some of the putty powder previously brushed on the wall had peeled off.
Behind this house, Li Yu and the others crossed the small fence of the house, then walked towards the back door.
The back door was tightly locked.
Li Yu took the muzzle of his gun and directly smashed it against the lock, which was instantly knocked off.
Li Yu and the others entered in single file.
Inside the house, everyone began to check their equipment again.
"Tie Zi, you and Da Pao go to the third floor to see what's happening with the Salvation Army," Li Yu said.
"Everyone else, rest where you are, eat something. We'll act soon," Li Yu said, turning back to the group as he and Li Tie went upstairs to observe.
This house must have been uninhabited for a long time; not only since the apocalypse, but judging by the dust inside, it looked like it hadn't been lived in for at least several years.
The group didn't bother to clean; they simply wiped a clean spot on the ground where they could sit and began to eat.
Li Yu, meanwhile, went up to the third floor with Li Tie.
On the rooftop, Li Yu and his team took out their binoculars and carefully observed the situation at the Salvation Army across the way.
Through their binoculars, they could clearly see two guard booths, one on the left and one on the right, at the main gate of the factory opposite.
This gate seemed to be made of steel, tall and large.
Although there were some gaps in the middle, seeing the thick bars indicated that the gate was very sturdy.
There were nearly 10 people in total at the two guard booths, 5 on each side.
Li Yu saw that the people on both sides seemed to be gathered together, as if something interesting was happening.
Li Yu adjusted the focus of his binoculars, magnified the view, and saw that these people were playing poker.
These people were all shirtless; the weather was too hot, and no one wanted to wear too many clothes.
Seeing how lightly dressed these people were, Li Tie felt a bit hot himself.
This time, everyone was fully armed, wearing protective knee pads and other gear.
Li Yu squatted on the rooftop again, observing for a moment, and saw that these people still hadn't eaten anything.
He was feeling a bit puzzled when he heard a cheer.
Frowning, he looked over and saw a large group of people gathered behind the guard booth.
Then, everyone lifted a person and walked towards one of the rooms.
The person being carried was covered in blood and motionless.
Li Yu was somewhat curious.
In this scorching weather, Li Yu also found it a bit unbearable, so he took out his water bottle and took two s sips.
Then he took out some simple dry rations he had brought today and began to gnaw on them.
Li Yu was very patient.
Although he was in a hurry to deal with the Salvation Army today, every time he attacked an enemy, if he could understand the enemy better, the higher the probability of success.
At this moment, Li Yu, squatting outside the factory, thought about the Salvation Army's recent actions and felt some doubt.
Da Pao, next to him, was even more confused.
He was eating while looking through his binoculars at the opposite side, saying, "Yu Ge, what do you think they're doing? Why are they carrying someone? Oh, holy crap!"
"Holy crap, holy crap!" Da Pao's hand, holding the binoculars, suddenly trembled.
He seemed to have seen something disgusting and quickly put the binoculars down.
"Yuck~ gulp~ yuck~ gulp."
He wanted to spit out the food in his mouth, but in the apocalypse, food was too precious to waste.
So he swallowed it back down.
But perhaps the scene he had witnessed was truly too disgusting; Da Pao's face turned red, and his mouth made gurgling sounds.
Li Yu was eating when he heard Da Pao's question and didn't know how to answer, but Da Pao's subsequent actions made him even more curious about what had just happened to the Salvation Army.
He quickly picked up the binoculars and looked.
After a long moment, Li Yu put the binoculars down; the food in his hand no longer seemed so appetizing.
However, they would need physical strength for what was to come, so he had to eat.
Li Yu, expressionless, swallowed the dry rations one by one.
He was like an emotionless machine.
He had seen that scene before his rebirth.
Actually, it wasn't a very strange phenomenon.
But seeing it again, he couldn't help but feel angry.
