Chapter 106 - 98: Chase! (Three more updates)
Li Yu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, who resembled an old farmer, with a wary eye. He recalled the steady man mentioning that Zhang Lao Da might have a few guns.
His thoughts rapidly turned, considering whether there was any value in keeping Zhang Lao Da for later use.
Hmm, it doesn't seem so...
Today's purpose was to avenge Zhao Dapao, to slaughter all those who had been to Xiang County.
So, what was the point of keeping Zhang Lao Da?
None.
Then why keep him? To show off? To turn the tables later?
After clarity, Li Yu no longer hesitated.
The submachine gun in his hand, slightly raised.
Bang!
Zhang Lao Da's sanguine demeanour, his broad smiling face, frozen like a picture.
In the center of his forehead, a bullet hole the size of a peanut declaring his death.
Zhang Lao Da hadn't even managed to draw the handgun at his waist. According to his plan, he wanted to wait for Li Yu and the others to lower their guard before suddenly attacking and seizing the chance to escape.
But unexpectedly, Li Yu didn't play by usual rules, and without a single reply, he killed him!
Li Yu was also puzzled about something - why do characters in past TV shows and novels always wait for their enemies to finish talking, even giving them a chance to fight back?
Why not just kill them immediately?! Why procrastinate as if waiting for the New Year?
Under absolute firepower, all schemes and tricks are powerless.
In matters of life and death, any additional words are but last words.
Li Yu was a man of pure heart, yet very contradictory, leading him to tackle problems directly at their core.
With Zhang Lao Da dead, the people around were somewhat shocked, as if still processing the sudden event. Li Yu looked at the two men behind Zhang Lao Da, who carried a strong societal aura. The steady man had mentioned they were sworn brothers of Zhang Lao Da.
Seeing Li Yu killing Zhang Lao Da made these two men uneasy, slowly retreating and then subtly reaching behind their waists.
Bang! Bang!
Li Yu noticed their actions and shot them.
After two gunshots, these two men were also declared dead.
As these two died, the surrounding crowd began to stir. They originally thought they were just there for Zhang Lao Da and could stay calm, but now, the death of those two was like stirring up a hornets' nest.
Some people stood up, trying to flee, but Li Yu wouldn't allow it. Raising his hand, Zhao Dapao and others began firing.
Bang bang bang!
Sparks flew, bullets whizzed, and everyone in the chaos was shot dead by Li Yu and his group!
However, there were two people close to a window who, as soon as Li Yu started shooting, escaped through it.
Outside the window, workers from the base had been getting familiar with crossbows and now could aim with high accuracy within 20 meters.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Four crossbow arrows were shot.
One missed, but the remaining three hit their targets, two piercing the same person who died instantly, another hitting another person's thigh, who instantly fell to the ground. Ding Jiu and others quickly controlled him.
Inside the big house, Li Yu looked at the bodies strewn across the floor, his heart undisturbed. However, for Zhao Dapao, it seemed as if a cloud of depression had been swept away.
The steady man behind Li Yu was also somewhat astonished; he hadn't expected Li Yu and his men to be so resolute in killing Zhang Lao Da and the others.
"Have you checked everyone who went to Xiang County?" Li Yu looked towards the composed man and spoke slowly.
The composed man looked at the bodies on the ground, scrutinizing them one by one. After a minute, he seriously said, "It seems that two people are still missing, I don't know where they went."
"Take a closer look again!" Li Yu demanded, then he walked out of the house and saw Ding Jiu and others catching a man who had just escaped.
Upon seeing Li Yu come out, Ding Jiu and the others crowded around and said, "Director Li, please look at this, what should we do with this man?"
Li Yu glanced at the man and shouted back into the room, "Hey, did this one go to Xiang County?"
Hearing this, the composed man hurried out, looked at the man's face, and said, "Yes, it's him."
On the ground, the man who was shot in the thigh looked at the composed man and bitterly said, "You damn traitor, you definitely..."
Bang!
Li Yu solved it with one shot.
Li Yu was not very patient. He disliked people who were overly noisy and solved problems using the simplest methods, especially in this lawless post-apocalyptic world!
There was still one person left...
Li Yu looked around, the crowd that had been standing nearby hadn't left. Instead, more people came out from the other rooms.
They were attracted by the sound of the gunshot. There were men and women, old and young.
Especially after seeing Li Yu shoot the man, there were even some cheers among the crowd.
In the big house, Li Tieshou held several handguns, walking towards Li Yu and said, "Big brother, these were found on the bodies just now."
"Hmm? Search this house again." Li Yu took the handguns, weighed them in his hand, and said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Li Tie and Li Gang began to search the house.
Li Yu turned around and saw the composed man looking in a certain direction. There, a middle-aged woman and a boy around seven or eight years old were looking anxiously towards them.
"Your wife and son?" Li Yu asked.
The composed man's heart trembled, hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Yes."
"Find the last person, and you can go," Li Yu said darkly.
Suddenly, a loud noise of a gate sliding open was heard.
It was the East Gate, a few guards there had witnessed Li Yu shooting the man and had also just heard a burst of dense gunfire.
At this moment, they opened the gate and ran outside!
The composed man looked towards the direction of the East Gate; although it was quite far, he could still vaguely see a figure.
This person... was the last one who went to Xiang County!
So he raised his hand and pointed in that direction, saying, "Those four men, also previously under Boss Zhang, one of them has been to Xiang County!"
Li Yu saw these people had already fled the security booth early, and now, he could only see their figures from a distance.
So, he shouted towards the big house, "Tiezi, Gangzi, let's go!"
Then, he had some workers drive the vehicles over; they needed to chase after those men!
Inside the house, Li Tieshou was holding several magazines and a few small drones, rushing out excitedly and said to Li Yu, "Big brother, I found some good stuff, there are also a few large drones inside, but those run on fuel, some are hybrid-powered."
"Hurry and load them on the vehicle, we need to chase after them."
Seeing that the workers had already driven the vehicles over, Li Yu then said, "Forget it, we'll move the stuff later, we need to chase them first!"
Everyone hurriedly boarded the vehicles.
Li Yu looked at the composed man and told him to get on; they still needed him for now.
