Everyone got into the car, then drove directly towards the East Gate.
The vehicle was very fast, much faster than a person running, but because these people had started running earlier, they were now two kilometers away, on the opposite side behind Glory Mansion!
Liberation City!
When Li Yu and the others came over before, they had seen a group of people, a faction led by Director Zhang.
And the place where this group of people were stationed was actually not far from Yugu Terrace, only about two kilometers away!
At this moment, the four guards who fled had already reached their side. Li Yu and the others had guns and a car; even if the four of them ran fast, they couldn't outrun the vehicle. So, they decided to divert the trouble, choosing to directly defect to Director Zhang's side, a place that claimed to shelter all survivors.
Originally, before Police Officer Ma died, the two sides were preparing to merge, but because of Zhang Laoda, this plan fell through. With Police Officer Ma's death, the two factions became increasingly tense.
The Government faction led by Director Zhang had a few police officers who had always suspected Zhang Laoda's involvement and wanted to investigate, so there was some friction with Zhang Laoda's side. However, before the apocalypse, Director Zhang was the director of the Government office, a much higher rank than these police officers. He had always advocated for upholding the responsibilities of the Government, uniting all forces that could be united, and facing the zombies together.
And some of those police officers were colleagues with Police Officer Ma before, then got separated due to the zombies, only meeting again later. Before Police Officer Ma could bring people to integrate with them, Police Officer Ma had already died.
Therefore, they had some complaints about Director Zhang's proposal of harmonious coexistence. They maintained a hostile attitude towards Zhang Laoda and others.
The Government group led by Director Zhang, under the banner of the Government, had been continuously recruiting people, and their influence was constantly expanding. But with the continuous expansion of their influence, internal conflicts also became increasingly obvious.
Firstly, there was the issue of supplies. The food for hundreds of people, in the early stages, there was indeed some food stockpiled, but later, food became increasingly scarce. Everyone started going out to find food, then distributed it according to labor. Some people would also try to shirk work, and some within the group would start fighting over food.
Secondly, there was the second problem: because the zombie outbreak was too sudden, many armies, being in dense environments, plus the continuous ten days of heavy rain at that time, the zombies' activity increased too much, and the zombie virus spread very quickly, leading to the complete annihilation of many armies.
And in this faction led by Director Zhang, there was a lack of sufficient armed forces. With just a few police officers and a few Government personnel managing hundreds of ordinary citizens, especially without any restrictions, all sorts of people flooded in, making the management pressure very high.
The four people who ran from Zhang Laoda's side had also reached the sphere of influence led by Director Zhang.
It seemed that the guards there didn't know how to handle it for a while, so they left two people, and another person went to call Director Zhang and others.
After Li Yu and others exited the East Gate of Yugu Terrace, they drove directly in the direction the four people had fled.
The vehicle sped.
Li Yu saw from the car that a middle-aged man in a white shirt seemed to have a few words with the four people at the gate, then opened the gate and let them in.
Just as these four people entered, Li Yu and the others' vehicle roared up, instantly stopping at the main gate of Liberation City. And the people guarding the gate looked at Li Yu and the others with full vigilance; for them, Li Yu and the others were all new faces.
At 2 PM, the sun was scorching the earth; the weather was at its hottest point of the day. But Li Yu's heart was filled with a chill.
He didn't want to cause so much trouble, but he didn't expect them to just let them in. Although these few people had only just entered, the guards at the gate and the man in the white shirt looked at them in the car with some caution and curiosity.
Li Yu got out of the car, holding a submachine gun. Li Tie, Yang Tianlong, and others also got out with firearms, and behind them were the workers, also holding crossbows and looking at them with killing intent!
At Liberation City, the people at the gate saw Li Yu holding a gun, their faces changed drastically. They immediately rang the alarm bell!
Clang, clang, clang ~
Metal colliding with metal produced a huge sound. This knocking sound instantly spread throughout Liberation City, lingering in the air for a long time. Immediately after, many people began to pour out from behind the gate. At the very front were four men in police uniforms, with pistols tucked into their waists, walking quickly!
Li Yu took the lead, walking directly towards the gate, while turning his head to ask Mr. Wen Zhong beside him, "Is that man in the white shirt Director Zhang?"
Mr. Wen Zhong nodded and said, "That's him. The few people behind him used to be with the Government as well. Now he's mainly in charge here."
Li Yu nodded. After just a few steps, he reached the main gate. Inside the main gate, a crowd had already gathered, and the white-shirted man at the head looked at Li Yu with a serious expression.
Li Yu narrowed his eyes, slightly raised his submachine gun, and said to them, "They killed my brother's family and stole things in Xiang County. A life for a life. Are you sure you want to protect them?"
Director Zhang was a bit confused when he heard Li Yu's words, especially seeing that Li Yu and the others were all holding guns, and they looked like real ones. His heart thumped.
"Friends, let's talk things over. Given the current situation, all of us humans should unite to fight against the zombies. Let's not fight among ourselves."
Then he looked at the four people beside him. What these few people had said just now wasn't like this. Moreover, he hadn't seen Li Yu and the others just now. If he had known Li Yu and the others had guns, perhaps he wouldn't have let them in.
After all, their strength wasn't enough to stop Li Yu and them!
Li Yu showed no reaction to Director Zhang's words.
Just at this difficult moment, the police officers arrived. When Director Zhang saw Captain Lü arrive with a few police officers, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But when Captain Lü saw Li Yu and the others, his expression became extremely grim. He could tell that Li Yu and the others had killed many people. Moreover, at present, although both sides had firearms, the firearms in Li Yu and the others' hands were much better than their small pistols!
Li Yu looked at the men in police uniforms, remembering what Mr. Wen Zhong had told him, and then said, "I'll say it one last time, they are Zhang Laoda's people. Are you sure you want to protect them?"
After speaking, he switched off the safety on his submachine gun, and Yang Tianlong and the others behind him did the same. It seemed that in the next second, if their answer didn't satisfy Li Yu, Li Yu would open fire!
The police officers, hearing this, immediately turned to look at Director Zhang. Director Zhang's expression showed struggle, while the police officers looked at Zhang Laoda's four people with some hatred.
They had wanted to find trouble with Zhang Laoda for a long time. They hadn't expected someone to do it for them first!
It was very satisfying.
Immediately, the police officers' gazes towards Li Yu and them became friendly.
So they walked towards the four people, seemingly wanting to drive them out.
These four people also panicked a bit. Just now, Director Zhang hadn't said that! Wasn't Director Zhang the one making decisions here?
The four people widened their eyes, looking at Director Zhang, as if saying: What about what you promised us just now? Their eyes were filled with expectation and pleading.
