Chapter 41: Play Unconventionally
Beep....
The loudspeaker emitted tremendous noise, and Li Yu fixed it onto the roof of the car.
Then the car slowly moved forward, followed closely by a group of zombies.
He rolled up the window, temporarily reducing the volume of the loudspeaker's noise,
And instructed Li Tie, who was driving, to keep an eye out for whether the zombies could keep up from behind.
After arranging all of this, Li Yu let out a long breath. He then picked up the walkie-talkie and asked Second Uncle, "Second Uncle, Second Uncle, have all the zombies left from your side?"
Second Uncle, who was standing in the Observation Tower staring into the distance, jolted when he heard Li Yu's voice.
He pressed the walkie-talkie immediately and replied, "They've all left. How is everything on your side, Xiao Yu?"
"We just found five people; they must be the ones who attracted the zombies. Killed four of them, and there's one left, haven't interrogated him yet. We're driving now, trying to lure the zombies to a further place."
"Xiao Yu, just now in the woods, I think I saw the Village Chief's son, the one who used to hang out with those hoodlums," Second Uncle said gravely.
Hearing this, Li Yu's heart stirred, and he cast a ghostly glance at the bald man who was shouting in pain on the back seat.
The bald man's hands were tied up with rope.
The woman and the young man sitting behind the bald man stared at him with a fixed gaze; they seemed like they couldn't wait to devour him, but they didn't dare to make a move without Li Yu's permission.
Li Yu continued to inquire, "Anything else?"
Second Uncle thought for a moment and looking at the trail of blood up ahead, he said, "Apart from those few you dealt with, there should be others. I spotted them 20 minutes ago.
I shot one of them with a crossbow. Then they escaped from the woods near the base; looks like there were about four of them."
When Li Yu heard this, he had a rough estimate in mind and continued to ask, "Did you use guns?"
Second Uncle replied, "No, why?"
Li Yu stated, "They probably don't know we have guns. These guys earlier charged at us foolishly and we dealt with them using guns."
...
Li Yu turned around and looked at the bald man with a cold gaze.
The bald man had been eavesdropping on the conversation between Li Yu and the others,
Although Li Yu noticed the bald man was listening, he didn't really mind.
The bald man, seeing that Li Yu was watching him, felt his heart thumping, his eyes shifting as if he was thinking of something.
Suddenly, he began to cry out in pain saying his leg hurt.
Li Yu didn't say anything but kept staring straight at the bald man.
10 seconds passed,
The bald man felt extremely uncomfortable under Li Yu's gaze.
He could only plead weakly, "Big brother, you're the big brother, let me go. It was just an accident, oh, right, it was just an accident. We just happened to be passing by, really, we were just passing."
Li Yu saw the bald man stubbornly denying everything, unyielding like a cornered duck.
He laughed at that moment; he enjoyed tough guys the most.
Pulling out a dagger, he directly stabbed into the bald man's thigh!
Pulled it out!
Pshhht!
The dagger went a full 5 centimeters into the bald man's thigh!
"Ah!..."
The bald man lowered his head, wanting to cover his leg, but his hands were tied, so he could only press down on the wound with his elbow.
The bald man had never encountered someone so out of the ordinary, not even asking any questions!
Why did he start getting physical just like that!
No respect for martial ethics!
The bald man was in so much pain that he was almost in tears when he saw Li Yu about to stab his other thigh.
He quickly shouted, "Big brother, big brother, you ask, and I'll tell. Hisss..." The bald man seemed to exert great effort to speak, but the wound on his leg made him twitch in pain.
Seeing this, Li Yu immediately stopped smiling,
and asked slowly, "Where are you guys from, how many of you are there? What weapons do you have? Why did you come to our base? How did you find out about it?...." He rattled off a series of questions.
The bald man was a bit stunned and said to Li Yu in a daze, "Big brother, ask one by one, please. I can't remember all that!"
Hearing this, Li Yu laughed again; he always liked those who didn't listen.
He stabbed again, this time into the other leg!
"Ah! Big brother, I-I-I-I..." The bald man cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face.
And the woman and the boy standing by, who seemed to want to laugh at the scene,
but sensing that the atmosphere was not right for laughter, held it in with great effort.
"Answer," Li Yu said succinctly. And then he stared fixedly at the bald man.
The bald man's body trembled slightly. Although he wasn't a good person either, he had never seen someone so brutal, so he began to spill everything he knew.
"Big brother, we're from a debt collection company. This time there are ten of us. After the apocalypse broke out, our boss led us in the county, uh. Now we should have a few dozen people, I guess, but I don't remember exactly. No no, no guns, we only have knives and iron rods."
The bald man continued in fits and starts, "Big brother, and then one day, a guy came to our boss and said that there's a place with a lot of supplies and that it's also very safe. So our boss was tempted and sent us to check it out. Hisss..."
The bald man winced from the pain in his leg, drawing in a breath of cool air.
"Who made you attract the zombies here?" Li Yu asked.
"Big brother, it, it was that guy, who must be from your village," the bald man replied.
Li Yu was a bit angry. The son of the Village Chief was no good either; he shouldn't have let him off the hook at the beginning!
"Why did you split up, and did you specify a time and place to rendezvous?" Li Yu stared piercingly at the bald man as if he could tell from his expression whether he was lying.
"Big brother, I, they went over there to attract the zombies, and we, we were supposed to wait for them here. As for meeting up, we agreed to do so at the gas station at the intersection of the national highway and the expressway. The, the time should be 15:00 this afternoon. Which is in 2 hours."
Li Yu thought about the gas station, which was about 4 kilometers away.
After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Where do you usually stay?"
The bald man hesitated and his gaze towards Li Yu drifted, but he still replied, "Big brother, we are at the top floor of the Tianhua Building."
Li Yu then looked at the woman and the boy behind him and asked, "Is what he just said true?"
The boy looked at the woman and took the initiative to say, "He lied to you. I heard them say the meeting time was 14:00. And they don't stay in the Tianhua Building; they stay in Lotus Mall! Mmm, the rest seems correct, though."
Hearing this, Li Yu looked at the bald man somewhat amusedly.
Yang Tianlong had been listening to their conversation, and after hearing the boy's answer,
he punched the bald man in the chest, which immediately left the bald man breathless.
Sweat dripped drop by drop from his forehead.
Li Yu, looking at the bald man, stabbed at the bald man's arm again and asked, "Do you have anything else to add?"
The bald man laughed, "Just kill me!" His eyes were surprisingly defiant.
Li Yu had no choice but to oblige!
He motioned Li Gang to shuffle inside.
Then with a kick, he sent the bald man flying out.
Bang! The bald man rolled off the car.
Li Yu was always decisive and swift in his actions.
As soon as he realized there was no more information to extract, it was time to dispatch the bald man.
The bald man rolled on the ground a couple of times and was ultimately devoured by a horde of zombies.
