Chapter 183 - 175: Annihilated the Salvation Army!
Standing by the shore, Song Min had been watching the surface of the river, originally planning to shoot the moment he surfaced.
But after the man got up, he never looked her way. Perfect, she thought, just wait for him to rise from the water, the more of his body showed, the bigger the target for her to shoot.
The leader of the Salvation Army's expression changed quickly upon seeing Song Min.
He thought about drawing his handgun, but it had somehow been lost while swimming.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
The moment he reached out his hand, Song Min shot.
Firing a full burst.
The distance was close, and the bullets mercilessly hit his chest, head, thighs, and other places.
The leader of the Salvation Army had no chance to resist. He was sent off by these bullets.
His face still held a trace of shock.
Splash!
The leader of the Salvation Army fell backward directly and sank.
A few seconds later, the body floated up and began to drift downstream with the river.
At the same time, Li Gang had just arrived.
He saw the body that had floated to the surface, waded through the water to it, and saw that the leader of the Salvation Army's entire body had been riddled with bullets, dead beyond dead.
So he dragged the body back toward the shore.
Li Gang was dragging the legs of the Salvation Army's leader, and under the force of gravity, the head was directly immersed in water.
Not long after, the body of the Salvation Army's leader was dragged to the shore. Xiao Han and the others had also returned, looking somewhat downcast. They had followed the river for kilometers but found no trace, so they had no choice but to come back.
Suddenly, they saw the body Li Gang was dragging. Wasn't this the leader of the Salvation Army?
This...
They pondered for a moment, then suddenly understood why Song Min had turned back earlier.
"Sister Song, how did you think of that?" Xiao Han asked Song Min cheerfully.
Song Min waved her hand. She wasn't in the mood to answer these questions and said to Li Gang, "What do you think we should do next?"
Li Gang looked at the things on the ground and at several others killed by the leader of the Salvation Army, then said, "Go back, continue searching for the rest of them."
Their mission this time was very clear, to eliminate the Salvation Army!
The group put away the things brought out by the Salvation Army under a large tree and ran toward the factory buildings.
...
Li Yu and his team attacked from three directions: the Main Gate, East Gate, and West Gate.
In this factory, there was a cafeteria towards the main gate direction, with a house next to it; beside the house, there were three long factory buildings to the west;
To the east, there were three buildings for accommodation. In the central area, there was an open space with two basketball courts and some table tennis tables.
There were also a few scattered buildings.
Li Yu entered from the main gate, first encountering the cafeteria, then running in the direction of the factory buildings. Li Gang and his team came in from the East Gate, fighting their way to the back door.
Li Tie and others entered from the West Gate and now saw Li Yu and his men fighting in the factory buildings.
The two groups met, and the way was littered with bodies.
The factory buildings were spacious and very close to the cafeteria; often they would stay in the factory buildings for leisure and rest.
Li Yu had cleared the people in one of the factory buildings. When he came out, he saw many of the Salvation Army like headless flies, fleeing the factory buildings.
Li Yu said to Li Tie, "You go and search the other factory buildings again, I'll handle these!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed over and joined with Dapao and others, firing at those running out of the factory buildings.
Originally, Li Yu and his men had surrounded the area in an attacking posture, killing Salvation Army members along the way. Many were forced to run towards the center, some directly into the factory buildings, while others headed towards the back door.
But in the back door direction, Li Gang and his men had just finished off the leader of the Salvation Army and reached the back door.
Right after dealing with the leader of the Salvation Army, Li Gang faced dozens of Salvation Army members carrying big and small bags, and some, carrying nothing and even shirtless.
Li Gang and his men didn't hesitate and opened fire.
Another group fell.
This is a massacre!
On the other side, Li Yu, holding a submachine gun, watched the formerly domineering and menacing Salvation Army being annihilated by bullets one by one.
His heart was undisturbed.
Bullets tore through bodies, splattering scarlet blood on the pristine white walls.
It was as if blossoms of plum were blooming.
Li Tie, leading Ding Jiu and others, rushed towards the factory building. Before entering, they threw several hand grenades. Amidst the booming sounds, heart-wrenching wails ensued.
Bang bang bang!
There was a sustained period of gunfire.
Li Gang killed his way to the central area, shooting anyone he encountered.
At this point, the squads led by Li Yu, Li Gang, and Li Tie converged in the center.
Li Gang caught his breath at the sight of the bodies strewn across the square and inside the factory; he thought he had killed enough but hadn't expected so many here.
"Big brother, we killed the leader of the Salvation Army, by the shore," said Li Gang.
Li Yu nodded, seeing the surroundings gradually quiet down. It was already 3 p.m., and it was still extremely hot.
"Continue in two squads and search again. Leave no survivors! Finish the search in one hour," Li Yu ordered.
"Let's move quickly," Li Yu looked at the many bullet holes on the distant wall behind the square, adding further instructions.
The group started to move.
They began searching every building, each floor, every room in the entire factory.
And they kept close; in unfamiliar environments, small team tactics prevented surprise attacks.
Occasional sporadic gunshots were heard from the factory—hidden people being found.
Li Yu had said before coming, no survivors; so any pleas for mercy, any resistance, was met with a bullet.
.....
An hour later...
The sun was setting.
"Big brother, I just found some good stuff in a building! Look what's this?" Li Tie, accompanied by Ding Jiu and a few workers, carried large bundles.
Inside were cigarettes, imported ham, and some red wine...
And all sorts of high-end food.
This made Li Gang, who just entered the dining hall, feel regretful.
Earlier, as he led Song Min and others searching the dining hall, they discovered clean bodies laid out on chopping boards.
Beside them, something was being steamed...
When they realized what had happened,
Song Min and the others behind him vomited.
Once again, their search uncovered members of the Salvation Army, and their glances grew colder, and their actions, more ruthless.
Li Yu and Dapao and the others fell silent at the sight of the food.
Clearly, there was so much food, yet it wasn't shared with everyone.
Their leader preferred to let his men eat each other rather than distribute some food to them.
This... perhaps this is what the apocalypse is.
There is no right or wrong in what the leader of the Salvation Army did.
But, whether it's Dapao or Song Min and the others, they momentarily thought of Li Yu's approach:
At the base, everyone eats the same food, the type and amount are basically the same.
This instantly made them feel they were following the right person.
Without comparison, there is no hurt. Without comparison, one doesn't know how fortunate they are.
This also made their resolve to follow Li Yu,
even more firm!
