Thanks to the iron plate blocking it from behind, even though Captain Lü was hit by this shot, the wound wasn’t deep.
It was just stuck right by the bone, causing extreme pain.
Captain Lü’s hands trembled, and he nearly lost his grip on the steering wheel, but he used his willpower to hold onto it tightly.
However, the steering wheel still twisted and turned under the impact, nearly crashing into a roadside tree.
But he managed to steady the steering wheel in the end, sweat dripping down, some of it stinging his eyes.
Captain Lü simply shook his head from side to side.
Lao Xie, beside him, said with some concern, “Captain, are you alright? Or should I drive?”
Captain Lü looked in the rearview mirror and saw the car behind them sticking close, always maintaining a distance of about ten meters.
It seemed they wanted to follow and find the location of Li Yu and their base.
Captain Lü shook his head, a ruthless glint in his eyes, “No need, hurry up and make contact, can you reach Li Yu and them now?”
Lao Xie quickly picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand and called frantically.
This stretch of road was exceptionally difficult.
After firing one shot, the car behind them didn’t fire again, as if they were fishing.
But this feeling of being able to be shot at any moment, of being killed at any moment, this state, put immense pressure on Captain Lü and Lao Xie.
Less than a few minutes passed.
Finally, Li Yu’s voice came through the walkie-talkie, “What is it?”
The moment Lao Xie heard Li Yu’s voice, he almost cried.
In those few minutes just now, he had called nearly 20 times, and now he had finally made contact.
Because of his excitement, his words were a bit unclear.
But he quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, and then spoke quickly and accurately, “Li Yu, I’m Lao Xie, Captain Lü is driving, heading towards your base, should arrive in about 10 minutes.
There’s a group of people following us.
These are the strangers we mentioned before, a total of 8 people, with one to two guns.”
After hearing this, Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, then asked, “Alright, we’ll meet at the Gas Station later.”
He then threw the walkie-talkie aside and rang the alarm bell in the base.
As soon as the alarm sounded, the entire base entered a Level 3 alert state, and everyone, no matter what they were doing, had to be fully armed and defend the base immediately.
Da Pao and Yang Tianlong, among others, were the fastest, rushing over with submachine guns.
Yu Tong and a few others followed behind.
At this moment, Li Yu had already gotten into the car and driven the assault vehicle to the main gate, then stopped.
Yang Tianlong, Da Pao, Li Hang, Li Tie, Li Gang, Third Uncle, and Yu Tong, seeing Li Yu’s actions, immediately got into the car.
Li Yu hadn’t even said anything, but everyone was able to get into the car directly.
This was the team’s tacit understanding.
“Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, Haoran, you stay and guard the base.
If anyone comes, kill them on sight!”
Then he drove out.
The entire process took less than 3 minutes.
In the car, Li Yu concisely said, “Captain Lü is coming, and a group of people are following him.
We need to eliminate these people, no survivors.
They have guns!”
He then looked down at his watch and said, “Estimated 5 more minutes.”
The vehicle was moving very fast, at full throttle, roaring towards the Gas Station.
The Gas Station was not far, reached in less than 3 minutes.
Li Yu stopped the car directly in the middle of the road, parked sideways.
Then everyone got out and took cover on both sides of the Gas Station.
The instructions were clear.
Everyone knew time was short and didn’t ask for details.
They trusted Li Yu; sometimes, they just needed to listen to what he said, and afterward, Li Yu would naturally explain things to them.
Li Yu’s message was also very clear: there were enemies, they needed to be dealt with, they had guns, so leave no survivors, just kill them all.
Li Yu had always been gentle and considerate towards the people in the base, with great humanitarian care.
Therefore, many people in the base had always seen Li Yu as someone who took care of others, was kind, sincere, and wouldn’t let anyone suffer losses.
However, some people only realized after following Li Yu out that he had two sides.
They had just witnessed Li Yu’s ruthless side, which made them cherish their time in the base even more.
Because of such a stark contrast, they became even more convinced by Li Yu.
One must know that Li Yu’s actions were ultimately to protect the people in the base, so what reason did they have not to listen to him?
Everyone hid, making not a sound.
One minute passed.
Suddenly, a car engine roared from ahead; it was a pickup truck, its door already open.
Another car followed closely behind.
Everyone held their breath.
This pickup truck didn’t drive towards the armored vehicle but directly to the side of the Gas Station.
The pickup truck stopped.
Only then did everyone clearly see the two people in the car.
Captain Lü directly fell out of the car; the car door itself had been knocked off, so there was no obstruction.
The moment Captain Lü fell out, everyone saw a patch of crimson on his back.
Blood!
It looked like he had been shot.
No one moved, because the car behind them was also approaching.
Li Yu looked at the car in front of him, especially seeing someone in the car holding a gun, and narrowed his eyes.
He hadn’t ruled out the possibility that Captain Lü was setting him up, but Captain Lü had no motive for that.
Yet, there was still a possibility he was coerced?
However, he had just informed them, and he himself had been shot.
This once again confirmed that Captain Lü and his group were not lying.
In fact, Li Yu was not someone who easily trusted others.
Although Second Uncle often said that he tended to assume the worst intentions in people, wasn't Li Yu the same?
Whether Captain Lü and his group were telling the truth or not, it didn’t matter.
What mattered was that there was a stranger nearby, and they had a gun.
It was unclear whether they were friend or foe.
But they were a threat.
Li Yu never labeled himself as a good person, even though many in the base considered him one.
Perhaps he was a good person.
He was someone who sometimes didn’t consider good or evil too much; if someone threatened him, he would eliminate them.
Perhaps that could also be considered a good person.
The next second, the car behind stopped.
A group of people got out of the car.
These people all looked relatively sturdy; their complexions weren’t rosy and glowing, but they weren’t sallow either.
Seeing this, Li Yu knew that while they didn’t have much food, they certainly weren’t severely lacking.
A man in camouflage uniform, who was leading the group, got out of the car: “You’re Captain Lü, right? Why make things difficult? This is all a misunderstanding!”
The man’s face showed an expression of deep regret, and he then said, “You know, the people at the Official Building, really, we weren’t doing anything.
We just needed some information.
Xiao Hai said there’s a big base here, and we just wanted to come over and communicate.
Tell me, what are you doing?
Insisting on resisting.
You know, sigh, these are all misunderstandings.
We didn’t want to hurt you, and we didn’t want things to turn out like this.”
