Li Hang controlled the drone, maintaining a distance of 2 kilometers, looking down from high altitude.
Suddenly, Li Hang saw someone on top of an Official Building in a village street ahead!
He slowly lowered the drone, which made a buzzing sound.
This also attracted the person on the building, who looked at the drone with some panic and threw stones at it.
But due to the height, the person threw several stones without hitting the drone.
"Big brother, there's someone in the village street ahead. They're over at the Official Building. Look," Li Hang said, pointing at the control screen in his hand.
Although he couldn't see very clearly or make out the person's specific features, the person's actions clearly indicated that it was a real person!
Li Yu concentrated and looked, wondering to himself that they had been to this area many times before. "Let's go up and take a look."
Having made up his mind, Li Yu took out his walkie-talkie and said to Li Tie, "Tie Zi, stop at the Official Building in Pei Township later. We saw someone on the drone."
"Someone? Alright, I'll stop later," Li Tie replied.
Meanwhile, the person on the rooftop, after failing to hit the drone, immediately ran down from the roof.
"Captain Lü, there's a drone on the roof, it's been pointing at us," the person said.
"A drone?" Captain Lü frowned. "It's been a year since the apocalypse broke out, and people can still use drones?"
"Who on earth is it? We barely escaped the danger of the zombies and finally found a relatively safe place, which is this Official Building."
"Now there are people again?"
Captain Lü had a headache.
Just then, Lao Xie, who was on guard at the entrance, also ran over and said to Captain Lü, "There's a convoy coming to the entrance."
Captain Lü's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. "Call everyone, get your weapons."
At a time like this, coming over rashly and using a drone for reconnaissance, they didn't know if they were friends or foes, but no matter what, they had to be prepared for battle.
Before Captain Lü could even walk to the entrance, he saw Li Tie approaching him with a submachine gun.
Li Yu was behind, standing on the vehicle, looking at the building.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar person, Captain Lü?
He actually always had a good impression of Captain Lü.
When he went to hunt down the refugees, he wanted to eliminate future troubles, as these refugees had exposed the location of their base.
He had painstakingly managed and carefully operated it, and just this once, these refugees found out, and so many refugees would definitely spread the word.
Although the exposure of the base's location was inevitable, he still wanted to keep it hidden as much as possible.
He pursued them to Liberation City and didn't kill all the refugees, nor did he simply kill everyone in Liberation City, because he still had some conscience.
Liberation City insisted on taking in these refugees, and he wanted to see how Liberation City would eventually fall!
"Captain Lü? Long time no see," Li Yu said with a smile, with a hint of friendliness.
Captain Lü nodded at Li Tie, who was walking towards the front, as a greeting, and then heard Li Yu's voice.
He looked up and saw Li Yu looking at him with a friendly expression from below.
Captain Lü's expression was complex, a mix of shame, regret, and a hint of joy amidst these two emotions.
He regretted not taking Li Yu's advice seriously when Li Yu had warned them earlier.
And he had even taken in those refugees. Although the main reason was Director Zhang, Liberation City eventually collapsed and became what it was.
At that time, he should have been more firm and strongly opposed the refugees joining Liberation City.
There's no turning back in this world. Director Zhang had already paid the price with his life for what he did.
Being a good person in this apocalypse is sometimes so cruel; you die the fastest.
"Mr. Li, long time no see." Captain Lü wanted to ask if Li Yu's previous offer to let them join was still valid.
However, what happened in Liberation City was a harsh slap in his face.
Li Yu had clearly warned him.
In the end, it was his own doing. Looking at Liberation City from Li Yu's perspective:
Imagine, Li Yu wanted to deal with the refugees, Liberation City obstructed and took them in. Li Yu kindly warned them, but they completely ignored it.
Now they are like stray dogs, fleeing everywhere, and at this moment, they still hope that others can take them in.
Captain Lü thought of the people who had recently died, especially those close to him who had escaped from Liberation City. Face and such suddenly became unimportant.
Thinking that Li Yu had previously shown him some goodwill, he thought that perhaps Li Yu would allow him to join.
So, he bit the bullet and said, "Mr. Li, can we join you?"
He got straight to the point, saying what he most wanted to say first.
Li Yu looked at Captain Lü with some surprise upon hearing this. He didn't expect Captain Lü's thoughts to be so direct and change so quickly.
"What about your Liberation City? How is it now?" Li Yu didn't answer him immediately, but instead asked about the situation of Liberation City.
Hearing that Li Yu didn't answer directly, Captain Lü felt a bit disappointed. Upon hearing Li Yu's question, he replied sadly, "Liberation City is gone. We didn't listen to your advice back then; we shouldn't have let those refugees in. After the refugees came, it further intensified conflicts, and then riots broke out."
"What about the others? Where is Director Zhang?" Li Yu asked.
"Director Zhang was hit by a brick and fell unconscious. He didn't receive timely treatment later and died. The other people scattered everywhere, probably running to various places," Captain Lü said, as if his spine had been heavily hammered by an iron hammer, making him seem to shrink.
Li Hang heard this from behind, his expression triumphant, his face full of glee. If they had killed those refugees back then, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.
Not only did they obstruct them from dealing with these refugees, but they also didn't listen to the warnings given.
Heh heh, serves them right.
Li Tie, Li Gang, and others also sighed upon hearing this. They didn't expect these refugees to have caused Liberation City to collapse, like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Li Yu remained expressionless upon hearing what Captain Lü said, showing neither schadenfreude nor sympathy.
Whatever you do, and how you do it, you must bear all the consequences yourself.
Li Yu looked at Captain Lü in front of him. He used to admire him greatly; he was capable enough, just a bit indecisive.
Regarding the refugees in Liberation City, Captain Lü himself initially felt they shouldn't be let in, but he didn't insist.
What a pity.
As for whether to let him join the base, Li Yu fell into deep thought. For now, they were going to find the Military Base, which was of great importance. They absolutely couldn't let them know about it at the moment. Secondly, Captain Lü currently had four or five people who appeared to be his family members with him, which was inconvenient.
They couldn't join at the moment, but there could be another way. Outside the base, the presence of some people was also needed.
Li Yu pondered for a moment and said, "How about this: for now, you will be our auxiliary team. If you encounter problems, we will try our best to help you solve them. If other forces come, we will protect you."
"And you, you can help us gather information in the surrounding area and report any situations to us promptly."
"Let's arrange it this way for now. Are you willing?"
