Especially those outside the base.
When he was reborn, Li Yu had warned himself not to trust anyone other than his family!
So even now, even though those workers have joined for so long, they still don't have the right to carry guns.
That's precisely why.
He was willing to give them a little bit of trust only after they had been tested by time and various events.
Even if he gave them trust, he would still have countermeasures planned in his mind, preparing for the worst, so that he would have a way to deal with any situation that arose.
Li Yu thought, it would be better to let Song Min and the others help block some of the escaping people on the periphery.
This way, since Song Min and the others would always be there, there would be no possibility of them reporting back.
And they could also be useful; perhaps they could really help when the time came.
After Li Yu made up his mind, he said, "Good! You all come with us, and we'll arrange everything then."
Song Min had originally thought Li Yu would refuse, so hearing his answer left her momentarily stunned.
But very quickly, Song Min was overjoyed; to be able to participate in such a satisfying event as dealing with the Salvation Army, wouldn't that be wonderful?
So she happily smiled and said, "Alright, we'll listen to your command."
Li Yu nodded and looked at the people next to Song Min one by one.
There was a much thinner Xiao Pang, whose build still faintly showed she used to be chubby, now looking at Li Yu with curiosity.
A lively and cheerful young girl looked at Li Yu with adoration, her smile as bright as a flower.
A half-grown teenager, with a very youthful face but not short in stature; next to the 183cm Li Yu, he was only less than half a head shorter, now looking at Li Yu with fervent admiration.
He had just been secretly listening to Li Yu and Song Min's conversation, and now he seemed eager to try.
Do all people named Song like fighting this much? Li Yu wondered.
Teacher Liu, with long black straight hair, her gentle face now showed much more resolute eyes.
Turning his head, he briefly explained the plan to Li Tie and the others behind him.
Everyone had no objections.
Within the base, during discussions, people like Second Uncle would offer some opinions.
But when it came to what specific actions to take outside, everyone usually listened to Li Yu.
The group took a very short time to formulate a plan.
They decided on a spot on that road, not far from a bend.
This location was perfect: to the right was a vast expanse of farmland, and to the left was a cliff approximately 4 meters high, which had been excavated when the road was built.
Right at this bend, Li Yu and his team could hide on top of the cliff, gaining a geographical advantage.
From above, it would be very convenient to shoot, especially since it was at a bend.
If they ran to the right, they would have to cross nearly 200 meters of vast farmland.
Running across open farmland with no cover would undoubtedly make them a clear target!
Moreover, with the current rain, the long-abandoned farmland was muddy and difficult to traverse.
Next, they needed to figure out a way to make them stop!
Song Min volunteered, offering to go ahead and block them, pretending to want to discuss something with the Salvation Army.
Li Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise at her words; blocking the road certainly carried some risk.
Ultimately, Li Yu refused.
While danger was one aspect, Li Yu was more concerned that they absolutely could not be allowed to escape!
Finally, they found a large truck on the roadside, but it was out of gas!
Trouble!
Today, Li Yu and the others had come out in a new energy vehicle, so they had no gas!
They searched other vehicles nearby for a while and finally managed to get a little bit of gas.
They barely managed to drive the large truck to the center of the bend in the road, and then scattered some nails behind it.
Li Yu and his team often carried nails when they went out.
According to Li Yu's plan, four people would be positioned on the cliff side, ready to shoot from above.
One person would be positioned at the front and one at the back of the road to block both ends.
Another person would be in the mountain forest behind the farmland, where Song Min and the others were also located.
Everything was ready, just waiting for the Salvation Army and their group to arrive.
Speaking of Mao Ge's group, after arriving in the county center, they successively collected protection fees from two teams.
One of the teams did not pay enough protection fees, and according to the Salvation Army's rules, they killed someone to establish their authority!
After killing one person and securing the small group's guarantee, Mao Ge and his men swaggered away.
Along the way, they felt extremely exhilarated.
Not a single person could fight! Ha!
As time passed in the apocalypse, the Salvation Army grew larger and larger.
And Mao Ge, who was a good-for-nothing before the apocalypse, looked down upon by many, nearly thirty years old, with no wife, no money, and no job.
After the apocalypse arrived, he struggled to survive for a period until he encountered the Salvation Army.
Watching the Salvation Army grow bit by bit, 'Stinky Hair' became Xiao Mao, and then from Xiao Mao, he became Mao Ge.
Now, he was considered a small leader, although he only had just over twenty subordinates.
This time, he was also in charge of transporting the protection fees.
As he slowly did well, he would climb higher and higher!
Then he could even become a team leader.
Hehehe.
Thinking of this, Mao Ge dangled his feet on the car's windshield, comfortably reclining his seat, opening the window, and smoking a cigarette.
The wind smoked half, Mao Ge smoked half.
He once heard someone say this was a kind of loneliness.
Mao Ge also wanted to show off!
The first time he saw this phrase, he felt an overwhelming aura of showing off.
Now, with over twenty subordinates, he should let them see Mao Ge's demeanor!
Taking a deep drag, Mao Ge's few simple, flowing strands of hair on his head were blown by the wind.
Although Mao Ge didn't have much hair, he was very vain, and these remaining strands were his last stubbornness.
The convoy slowly moved forward, Mao Ge was in a joyful mood, and cigarettes in his hand were one after another.
Mao Ge, with the wind blowing on him, squinted his eyes, looking at the green mountains, clear waters, blue sky, and white clouds before him.
He looked at a small bend ahead, which resembled an elephant's trunk.
His heart was filled with countless emotions, as if he had to recite a poem or two to express his inner joy.
"Facing this scene, it truly is beautiful mountains and clear waters!"
Mao Ge pondered for a moment, then finally began to recite:
"A thousand miles of orioles sing, green reflects red, a water village and mountain town with wine flags in the wind."
"Uh... When mountains and rivers end, there seems no road, but then willows darken and flowers bloom in another village."
"Good!"
"Hehehe! When it comes to writing poetry, you still have to rely on Mao Ge!"
The car was turning, when suddenly!
Screech!
The vehicle slammed on the brakes.
Mao Ge was jolted forward, his head violently hitting the car window!
This instantly infuriated Mao Ge; his pleasant mood from moments ago suddenly soured.
He had just been reciting poetry, feeling good, and now he was hit?
Mao Ge touched his head, brought his hand to his eyes, and a strand of hair was clearly in his hand.
He probably got caught somewhere just now, and this hair was directly snapped.
He thought the pain from hitting the car window was due to the impact, but now it seemed more likely that his hair was caught!
Hair, to Mao Ge, was life itself!
Mao Ge was enraged!
An extremely frantic expression appeared on his face, and his aura seemed ready to fight someone to the death!
"Damn, crap..."
Before Mao Ge could finish cursing.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out!
It directly shattered the car window, blowing the head off the driver who was just being cursed at!
Brain matter, mixed with blood, splattered all over Mao Ge's face.
