Liberation City.
The gate remained, and some people were still on guard at the entrance.
Just opposite them, Li Yu and his group, in three vehicles, lined up in a row. The people inside got out, all holding guns.
Li Yu stood at the very front, gazing at Liberation City. This was his second time coming to this place.
His state of mind coming here this time was completely different from before.
Now, he came with the intention of killing Da Bei Tou.
In his belief, he must protect his family. His family was his courage and confidence to persevere until the end in this apocalypse.
Since someone had set their sights on the base, that person had to be dealt with.
If the other refugees were coerced by Da Bei Tou, perhaps a way out could be given, but Da Bei Tou, the mastermind, must be eliminated.
At the main gate of Liberation City, the dozen or so guards saw Li Yu and his group glaring menacingly, so they hurried to report the situation to Director Zhang.
At this moment, Li Yu was not in a hurry to enter Liberation City. Rushing in directly could easily injure other people.
He only killed those who deserved to die; he tried not to kill those who didn't.
He wanted to see how Director Zhang would handle this matter.
After waiting at the entrance for about 3 minutes, Director Zhang walked out wearing a white shirt. The white shirt was a bit yellowed but still unwashed, which showed how severe the water shortage was.
Director Zhang's large belly had shrunk considerably, but in Li Yu and his group's eyes, the mini version of Director Zhang remained calm.
However, when Director Zhang saw Li Yu and his group standing outside the gate, holding firearms, less than 30 meters away from them, his expression instantly turned a little flustered. They still didn't understand why Li Yu and his group had come looking for them.
He forced a smile, a fake one, and said to Li Yu and the others, “Mr. Li, what brings you here?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he gave a look to the person next to him, signaling the others to quickly find Captain Lü and the others. If Li Yu and his group intended to attack them, they would have no chance of winning at all, but having Captain Lü and the others nearby would make him feel more secure.
Yes, that's right, a sense of security.
Director Zhang suddenly realized this point, and a chill ran through him, a strange thought emerging in his heart.
He shook his head and focused his gaze on Li Yu and his group.
Li Yu looked at Director Zhang from a distance and said in a calm tone, “A group of people came in yesterday. Those people wanted to seize our base.”
His words paused, and Director Zhang pondered, suddenly looking at the buildings in the middle area behind him.
This area was allocated to those people who joined them yesterday.
What Mr. Li said, it couldn't be this group of people, could it?
Li Yu continued, “Those people have now joined you.”
After saying that, he didn't say what Director Zhang and his group should do but just watched them quietly.
In the silence, this sense of oppression was extremely strong.
It seemed to carry a silent suppression, and under this suppression, Director Zhang's heart sank.
It's over.
What to do?
A hint of panic flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure. Deny it?
That's not realistic. With so many people, if he said they weren't the ones, it would simply be openly deceiving Li Yu and his group. Moreover, Li Yu and his group had already come to their door, so they must have confirmed that those people had entered Liberation City.
It seems Mr. Li and his group know these people have joined Liberation City.
It's just that he doesn't know how Mr. Li and his group want to resolve this. This accusatory posture definitely means they want them to hand over this group of people.
If they don't hand over this group of people, it will definitely implicate him. What if he doesn't hand over this group of people? The moment this thought emerged in his mind, it was quickly extinguished.
After all, he had boasted before that he would take in anyone into Liberation City, and yesterday he had also bragged that once they came to Liberation City, they would be a family. There would be no need to worry about being harmed by others anymore.
If he handed over all these people, where would his credibility be, where would his face be?
These thoughts flashed through his mind in just a few seconds.
Seeing Li Yu looking at him, he forced another smile and said, “Mr. Li, it’s like this, it’s the apocalypse now, and everyone is having a hard time, aren’t they? Look, can you, for my sake, just let it go?”
His tone was consultative, with a hint of flattery.
He was very clear that this Li Yu was a killing god, who had previously annihilated everyone at Yugu Terrace.
He was not someone to be trifled with.
Li Yu raised an eyebrow at the words, noncommittal.
Li Yu didn't speak, but Li Hang and Li Tie next to him were a bit restless. Under Li Yu's influence, these people had become somewhat bloodthirsty.
These unruly people were used to fighting at the slightest disagreement.
After Li Hang and Li Tie and the others heard Director Zhang's words, they subtly raised their guns.
Director Zhang saw their movement, and his eyes narrowed slightly, while a person next to him, seeing this, gently pulled at him.
Just then, Captain Lü walked over.
Li Yu had a relatively good impression of Captain Lü. Although he was kind, he wasn't blindly kind.
Director Zhang caught a glimpse of Captain Lü appearing from the corner of his eye and breathed a slight sigh of relief, as if he had gained some confidence.
But when Captain Lü saw Li Yu and his group appear, he inwardly thought it was bad. Although they also had a few handguns, they had consumed a large amount of bullets in these recent battles.
They were not like Li Yu and his group, who had acquired weapons from two complete armories, with countless bullets.
They were only equipped with a small amount of bullets. As the apocalypse dragged on, they basically stopped using firearms later on. Guns were only used as a threatening weapon.
They could be shown, but rarely used.
He was secretly anxious, so he proactively stepped forward and said, “Mr. Li, what is this?”
Li Yu saw Captain Lü ask, and before he could speak, Li Hang next to him said, “Some people entered your base yesterday. Those people attacked our base a few days ago. Hand them over.”
Li Yu glanced at Li Hang, who shrank his head.
Li Yu didn't stop Li Hang. In the current situation, it was actually better for Li Hang to speak.
Captain Lü heard this and felt a little anxious. Remembering the people who entered Liberation City yesterday, he instantly understood, and his mind raced, saying, “Mr. Li, we can understand your current feelings, but with so many people, we can't hand them all over to you at once; it would cause internal chaos.”
As he spoke, he also turned his head to look at the building behind him.
Captain Lü was also an experienced police officer before, having seen all sorts of people. He actually had quite a few reservations about those who joined Liberation City yesterday. After all, in this kind of weather, feeding so many people was a very troublesome matter. Now, they couldn't even feed themselves.
And yet they still took in these people.
Sigh.
Director Zhang immediately became anxious when he heard Captain Lü's meaning.
