Life is like this: one second you think the world is beautiful, the next second it slaps you to wake you up.
When Captain Lü and his team were joyfully returning to the Official Building in the small town next door, carrying the food and medicine Li Yu had given them, reality dealt them a harsh blow.
As Captain Lü and his team were about to reach the Official Building, they suddenly felt something was amiss. Although they weren't many, they had people on alert on the rooftop.
They didn't see Gan Yuanping, who was on duty today, which made them feel a premonition of danger. So, they told Xiao Zeng, who was driving, to slow down the car.
Captain Lü's many years of police experience made a sense of unease flash in his heart.
It was too quiet.
This feeling made Captain Lü very strange and uncomfortable. So, he directly told Xiao Zeng to stop the car, and then they proceeded on foot.
"Lao Xie, let's go check it out. Uh, Xiao Zeng, don't get out of the car." Captain Lü's voice was a bit low, but because they were close, both Lao Xie could hear him clearly.
Lao Xie got out of the car, holding the corn in his arms. After thinking for a moment and seeing Captain Lü's serious expression, he immediately put it back in the car and picked up his weapon.
He slowly walked to Captain Lü's side: "Captain, what's up? We're almost home. What's going on?"
Captain Lü put his right hand to his mouth and shushed him, signaling him to be quiet.
Suddenly, a gunshot!
Bang!
Xiao Zeng, who was in the car, had his head directly blown off.
His brains splattered directly onto the windshield.
Someone!
Enemy!
A car suddenly rushed up from behind, and another bullet sprayed over, but Captain Lü happened to duck down, narrowly escaping death.
After ducking down, he rolled to the main entrance.
Immediately, Captain Lü saw a scene that made his eyes split with rage: he saw that two of the dozen people left in the base had been killed, and the others had their mouths tightly bound, unable to make a sound.
Behind them were six or seven other people, one holding a gun, the others holding knives, all looking at him mockingly.
Among them was one person, the one with the Slanting Bangs.
It was the team leader who had escaped from Liberation City.
Beasts!
Especially when he saw his daughter, her small body and big eyes looking at him. Her expression, which had been one of despair, now showed joy, but her hands were tied, and she was kneeling on the ground, wanting to run towards him, but she couldn't move at all.
At this moment, a volcanic rage surged within Captain Lü.
He wanted to kill these people!
These companions in front of him had all gone through various ups and downs together, from being police officers together to surviving the apocalypse together and escaping together.
Those two fallen brothers were his own brothers!
He wished he could rush forward at this moment and deal with them.
However, the firearms they had had already been used up during a previous zombie siege.
The firearms in their hands could only serve as kindling sticks now.
What to do?
What to do?
However, the enemy would not give him time to think. After failing to hit him with the previous shot, those people now walked over with knives.
Lao Xie, who was usually cheerful, unreliable, and even a bit of an old rascal, now, in a panic, rushed over and directly pulled Captain Lü towards the pickup truck.
The enemies behind them were surprised to see that Captain Lü and the others didn't stop, but instead were going to run away.
From the looks of it just now, this Captain Lü had family inside.
"Drive into them, don't let them escape!" Zhong Ge said among the group.
"Alright." One of the people next to him immediately drove towards them. The car they were driving clearly looked much sturdier than the small pickup truck.
Lao Xie pulled Captain Lü, and they quickly reached the pickup truck. He quickly and skillfully pushed Xiao Zeng's body out of the car.
He quickly said, "There's no point in us staying here. Let's go find Mr. Li and the others quickly."
Captain Lü then woke up as if from a dream, regaining his rationality.
This wasn't a TV show; staying to be a hero was meaningless. Under their inferior firepower, they could play with you however they wanted.
Even if you said, "Let them go, I'll tell you whatever you want."
Would they let you go?
Don't be naive; this is the apocalypse, an apocalypse where morality has collapsed.
They had seen people who broke their promises more than once, people who agreed and then went back on their word more than once.
At this time, this world had no credibility left.
Once caught, death was the greatest possibility.
Instead of begging them, being humiliated, and finally killed, it was better to quickly find someone to help.
Inform them!
After Captain Lü sobered up, he quickly got into the car and found that the car was still running.
Xiao Zeng had been driving the car just now when he was shot dead.
Just as Captain Lü started the vehicle and had just gotten in, before he could even close the car door—
Bang!
The car behind directly hit the rear of the small pickup, which then lurched forward, and the car window was directly flung off.
Lao Xie and Captain Lü in the car were slammed backward, then slammed forward, both feeling disoriented from the impact.
But Captain Lü gritted his teeth, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and floored the accelerator. The vehicle shot out like a rocket.
"Keep up with them! Chase!" Zhong Ge said from behind.
"Lao Lü, we can't do anything here. Let's go find Mr. Li and the others now. With their strength, they can definitely deal with them." Lao Xie said.
Captain Lü felt complicated upon hearing this. These people coming after them must have some unknown secrets.
It was highly likely they were looking for the location of Li Yu and their base.
Although the refugees knew the general location of Li Yu's base, the terrain there was complex and winding. It would be difficult to find it based on just a few verbal descriptions. Moreover, those refugees were too busy fleeing for their lives at the time, and only a small portion of them remembered the exact address.
To be honest, if Li Yu hadn't explained it in detail after meeting them, Captain Lü and his team really wouldn't have found it.
And from the looks of it, this Slanting Bangs and his group probably got a rough idea of the location from the refugees but weren't clear on the exact spot.
No use thinking about these things.
What's done is done. If it weren't for Li Yu and their help, they would have starved to death long ago.
The vehicle behind followed closely, but with Captain Lü's desperate driving, flooring the accelerator like a rocket, although the speed also increased, the person driving Zhong Ge's car was clearly more afraid of death.
They just kept their distance, trailing behind.
"Lao Xie, do we still have the walkie-talkie Mr. Li gave us? We can't directly lead them to the base. You'll use the walkie-talkie to tell them in advance and let them prepare!" Captain Lü said.
"Okay." Lao Xie didn't waste words, immediately took out the walkie-talkie, and waited to drive a bit further before trying to contact Li Yu and his team.
Suddenly.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out! The bullet passed directly through the pickup's seat from behind, hitting Captain Lü in the shoulder.
Captain Lü grunted!
