Mao Ge's emotions were complicated and wary after learning that Li Yu and his group had guns.
He saw that things were almost packed up, and they still needed to collect protection fees from several other gangs in the county town later.
So he shouted to the Salvation Army members behind him, "Get ready to depart!"
The two male students beside him looked ingratiating and asked Mao Ge, "Mao Ge, where are we sitting?"
Mao Ge was thinking about something and impatiently looked at the car behind them, saying, "You two, take that car."
The two male students saw the people in that car looking annoyed. They wanted to say something, but seeing that Mao Ge had something on his mind and was unlikely to pay attention to them, they stopped speaking.
They silently got into that car.
Li Yu watched the Salvation Army members leave from a distance. Li Tie and the others beside him were getting anxious. Based on their understanding of Li Yu, he would likely have just gone directly and eliminated all of the Salvation Army.
From Li Yu's current perspective, he was contemplating other issues.
1. He didn't know enough about the Salvation Army. He didn't know their strength, how many people they had, or if they had guns.
2. He didn't know their purpose. So far, they hadn't directly encountered them or had any direct conflicts. Also, what did they want to do by coming here?
Li Yu was not a reckless person, although he often seemed to kill people before.
However, the reasons he killed before were either because they had offended him, or they posed a threat to Li Yu and his group, and Li Yu and his group could deal with them.
Seeing the Salvation Army leave, Song Min and her group were somewhat disheartened and dejected.
Li Yu and his group waited for a while until the Salvation Army had completely gone far away. Only then did they emerge from their hiding place, followed by Li Tie and the others.
They slowly drove towards Song Min's direction.
Song Min was lowering her head in annoyance, wondering what to do next. So much food was gone, and the Salvation Army would come again next month. How would they provide that food?
This group of Salvation Army was like leeches, constantly sucking their blood until they completely died. But they had no strength to resist. Thinking of this, Song Min felt distressed; this matter was truly a headache.
Everyone was looking down, so much so that they didn't notice Li Yu's vehicle even when it was 20 meters away, until it got closer.
The lively and cheerful young girl under Song Min's command just happened to look up and see it.
She recognized Li Yu's car. New energy vehicles were simply too useful in the apocalypse. They had no engine sound, drove fast, and most importantly, didn't make much noise.
"Song Jie, look!" the lively young girl shouted excitedly.
Song Min looked up and immediately saw Li Yu's vehicle, which was very familiar. She felt a bit excited because Li Yu and his group had helped them so much before, whether it was rescuing them from the clutches of evil at the very beginning, or providing them with food several times later, and then resolving the situation with Mao Ge's group, helping Song Min save her brother.
All of this made Song Min and the others have a great impression of Li Yu. They also very much wanted to join Li Yu's team, but Li Yu had never spoken about it.
As the leader, Song Min also didn't know how to bring it up, so they maintained a relationship similar to friends.
Every time there was any disturbance in the county town, Song Min would tell Li Yu everything in detail when he and his group came to the county town. Li Yu would also appropriately exchange some items with Song Min and her group.
The vehicle slowly stopped in front of Song Min and her group. The lively and cheerful young girl ran directly to Li Yu's vehicle, waiting with a happy smile for Li Yu and his group to get out.
Li Yu got out of the car, his expression somewhat serious. He saw Song Min and walked over in a few steps.
"Are you all right? What did that group of Salvation Army come here for? What's been happening recently?" Li Yu didn't waste words or exchange pleasantries. During this time, after interacting with Song Min, Li Yu would also proactively ask Song Min about things happening around them.
Song Min, hearing this, also didn't waste too many words. After understanding Li Yu during this time, she knew he was a very efficient and decisive person.
"We're okay. After the Salvation Army came here, they killed everyone in one group and forced us to hand over food on time. If we didn't obey, we would be killed." Song Min said this, her eyes blazing with extreme anger.
"They somehow found out about your existence, probably from other groups in the county town. They knew about your existence and have been looking for you. They also asked us just now, and we said we didn't know," Song Min said.
When Li Yu heard this, his heart sank. It seemed that this Salvation Army could not be dealt with amicably.
"Also, they kept asking where you were just now. You know, we really didn't know, so we didn't say anything," Song Min said quickly, seeing Li Yu's expression suddenly become terrifying.
Li Yu was noncommittal.
As if remembering something, Song Min quickly spoke again, "That group of people came with more than twenty people today. And here, those two male students from before, you remember them, right? They were the first two people you met when you rescued us that time."
"They have now defected to the Salvation Army. Also, they told them about you having guns. That Salvation Army's, the small person in charge who came today, was quite wary after hearing you had guns," Song Min finished recounting everything that had just happened in one breath.
Li Yu immediately remembered the two male students Song Min mentioned. Those two men were the fastest to run, abandoning their classmates and teacher.
After hearing what Song Min said, Li Yu had a clear idea.
The Salvation Army must die!
"Is there anything else? Where did the Salvation Army go now?" Li Yu asked again.
Song Min turned her head, gestured towards the direction of the county town center, and said, "They went into the county town to collect protection fees from other teams."
"Every time they come, they come from that road," Song Min pointed to the distant National Highway.
A cold glint flashed in Li Yu's eyes, and a ruthless intent surged within him. He took a deep breath.
Since they came and even plotted against them, they shouldn't expect to leave.
Song Min shivered when she saw the cold glint in Li Yu's eyes. Every time she saw that expression on Li Yu, it meant he was going to kill someone.
As for who he was going to kill? In this situation, it must be the Salvation Army. Song Min was also very happy to see Li Yu and his group do this. In fact, if they weren't too weak, they would have wanted to fight the Salvation Army themselves.
After thinking for a moment, Song Min still spoke, "Do you need help?"
Li Yu looked at the woman in front of him. From the very beginning when he saw her, she was cutting human flesh with a knife, to later leading her sisters to survive difficultly in the apocalypse. It was indeed not easy.
Now she even wanted to proactively help.
Not bad. He was just about to say he didn't need help.
But then he thought, no!
How did Song Min know what they were going to do?!
Although Li Yu hadn't told anyone about his intention to kill. However, it shouldn't be hard to guess, after all, Li Yu asked them for information about the Salvation Army and where they came from. But he couldn't help but start thinking: What if Song Min, or someone under Song Min, went to report them?
Song Min was unlikely, but what about the people under her?
In the apocalypse, Li Yu did not hesitate to assume the worst of others.
