The weather wasn't good, much like Li Yu's mood at the moment.
The sheer number of people also exceeded Li Yu's imagination.
The refugees were fierce; once this terrifying number of refugees broke into the base, all the food and supplies within the base would be plundered.
When people are on the verge of starvation, who would talk about morality or reason with you?
People die for wealth, birds die for food; this truth has been immutable since ancient times, and it has always been so.
Currently, the base's strength isn't great enough to accommodate so many people, nor can it rescue so many, but people become incredibly insane when hungry.
When they are insane, they can do anything.
Li Yu and his small number of people certainly couldn't manage tens of thousands of disaster victims.
Moreover, with a large number of refugees lacking clothes and food entering the city, acts of burning, killing, and looting would definitely occur.
Even more seriously, they might not only fail to rescue the victims but also put themselves in danger.
Therefore, in ancient times, when natural disasters occurred, it was like this.
Generally, local officials with a conscience might set up porridge stalls outside the city to help with disaster relief, but those with black hearts would directly send people to shoot arrows down at the city to drive the refugees away.
They would make them go to other places, and absolutely would not allow a large number of refugees to enter the city.
Furthermore, in ancient times, during natural disasters, even if officials were willing to let refugees into the city, the residents within the city would not agree. Tens of thousands of refugees lacking clothes and food entering the city would inevitably cause significant damage.
Although Li Yu felt a pang of pity, he had to do this.
If he showed kindness and let people in, there would be a high probability that the entire base would ultimately be reduced to ruins.
The firepower was fierce.
It was constantly firing, and the light machine gun's sweeping fire greatly increased the efficiency of killing.
In just under 10 seconds,
outside the wall, over several hundred people had already died under the guns of Li Yu and the others.
These people were initially crowded together, all gathered below the gate, and they were relatively far from the forest.
Except for some people already hidden in the forest, like Da Bei Tou and his group.
Therefore, to escape to the forest, there was still a distance of over 30 meters.
This distance was their death distance.
As they constantly rushed forward, Li Yu and the others first killed those closest to the forest.
This caused them to be caught between a rock and a hard place for a time. If they forced their way into the forest, they would be the first targets to be killed.
But, if they didn't force their way through and stayed behind, although they wouldn't be killed immediately, they would still die later!
In times of crisis, a person's choice is very important.
This choice
is life or death.
Some people who face death directly can, on the contrary, gain a glimmer of hope.
Some people who hesitate only face death.
In the past ten seconds or so,
over a hundred people escaped from below the wall.
“Close the gate!” Li Yu saw that it was almost time, so he shouted loudly to Li Tie and Yang Tianlong.
Thud!
The wall gate closed. There were still over a thousand people inside the wall.
Trapping the turtle in a jar.
Inside the Weng City, the crowd was bustling, a surging tide of people, some frantically banging on the iron gate.
Li Yu frowned tightly, his eyes as if they could devour people.
Bang bang bang
Bodies lay everywhere, densely packed, some even piled on top of each other.
They had all tried to crowd into the gate like sardines. This made it even easier for Li Yu and his group to kill them.
In this battle, Li Yu's actions were like a divine masterpiece.
He cleverly thought of opening the gate, luring the enemy into the Weng City, and then, at the perfect moment, ordered the gate closed.
Then, he reacted extremely quickly, telling everyone to first deal with the people outside the Weng City.
This series of actions happened in an extremely short amount of time. Many people still hadn't reacted, but they followed Li Yu's movements.
This chaotic battle, so far, has been 99% successful.
The remaining 1% is to deal with the people inside the Weng City.
The people inside the Weng City definitely couldn't escape.
Before the apocalypse, the wall Li Yu built was already over a meter thick, and later, after finding cement and rebar, he reinforced this wall again.
Through cast-in-place methods, a massive amount of rebar and cement was invested, and he had collected most of the cement from the surrounding counties.
At this time, the wall's thickness was already nearly 3 meters.
With such a thick wall, how could the people inside the Weng City open it with the long knives and spears in their hands?
The only way was to open the main gate leading into the base, but that gate cost nearly a million at the time.
An armored door!
Bullet protection was a minor issue; the only way it could possibly be broken was by using artillery shells.
But this gate was also reinforced with cement and rebar behind it, further strengthening its solidity, so whether artillery shells could open it was a question mark.
A Weng City over ten meters high, four stories tall, with smooth walls, how could they climb up?
At this moment, the people inside the Weng City were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, in despair.
Outside the wall.
Bodies covered the field.
Blood flowed
like a river.
Some people hadn't been killed yet but were severely wounded and unable to move their bodies at this point.
They lay on the ground, waiting for death, wailing continuously.
They also understood very well that after such a sudden and brutal slaughter of so many people, their pleas for mercy were essentially meaningless.
Because it was still death.
Li Yu had everyone divide into two groups: one group continued to kill the people still alive at the base of the wall.
The other group prepared to kill the people inside the Weng City; there were too many people in there, and he felt uneasy not killing some.
He definitely had to leave some people, but there were too many people right now, and he felt uncomfortable.
“Xiao Yu. Should we go out and pursue them?” Second Uncle looked at those who had escaped into the forest.
Li Yu narrowed his eyes, pondering for a long time.
