Looking at the items that had been mostly moved, Li Yu pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Get in the car!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately stopped, looked at the two large trucks, and realized that driving those trucks would make too much noise.
So he immediately said, "Let's drive the electric car. Go slowly, don't go directly, don't get discovered. We'll stop nearby and walk over quietly."
"Drive slowly later!" Li Yu added.
They had been to this city many times since the apocalypse, and each time they found some new survivors. But this was the first time they had heard gunshots.
He had to find out who fired the shots, how many guns these people had, and why they fired was not important. What was important was their strength!
Li Yu did not allow any hidden dangers to appear around him; at the very least, he needed to have a clear understanding.
This trip was to figure out who fired the shots!
Li Yu and the others slowly drove the new energy vehicle. After just over a kilometer, Li Yu signaled to stop the car. The vehicle was too big of a target; it was better to walk.
Everyone got out of the car. The five construction workers also carried long knives and daggers; in addition, Li Yu brought Yang Tianlong, Zhao Dapao, and others. Since the apocalypse, Li Yu and them had developed a good tacit understanding. Many times, their thoughts could be understood with just a glance.
They slowly approached, with Li Yu at the forefront, keeping his footsteps to a minimum.
Before long, they arrived at the food wholesale market.
At the corner, Li Yu took a step forward, then immediately retreated.
The people behind him also stopped.
Li Yu held up two fingers, motioning for everyone to stop and not speak.
However, the few workers who were out with them for the first time seemed not to understand, their expressions filled with confusion.
Li Yu then put a finger to his mouth, signaling for silence.
Everyone understood.
Li Yu slowly peeked his head out, little by little. From his angle, he saw the backs of Song Min and the others.
And less than 20 meters from Song Min and the others was a group of men, 16 in total.
The men seemed to have captured a few girls.
And one of the men was holding a gun!
Besides that, no other firearms were seen.
Li Yu slowly pulled his head back and motioned for everyone to quietly retreat a few steps.
A question mark formed in Li Yu's mind: Song Min?
Why were these two groups fighting here?
His confusion slowly unraveled as the conversation between the two sides drifted over the empty street.
"That plump Xiao Pang, yes, you, put down the crossbow in your hand, or I'll shoot," Big Gold Tooth said.
Xiao Pang, next to Song Min, looked at Song Min, who nodded.
Xiao Pang sighed in exasperation and put down her crossbow.
Song Min saw Song Qi being stepped on the ground and realized he seemed to want to speak, so she shook her head.
Song Qi seemed to understand her as well; if their relationship was exposed, they would surely be blackmailed, making the situation even more difficult.
At this moment, Song Min saw Teacher Liu, who was captured by Big Gold Tooth, and felt some anger, but suddenly an idea seemed to come to her.
So she said, "Let them go!"
Unlike the two boys, Teacher Liu and the two girls had basically never met Song Min, so they didn't know that Song Min was actually Song Qi's older sister.
But the two boys often played with Song Qi, so they frequently saw Song Min.
Hearing Song Min's words.
Big Gold Tooth said with a smirk, "Let them go? Why? Do you think you have the strength to say that? How about you trade places with them? Hehe!"
The refined man and several other men next to him also echoed with laughter.
And at the street corner, Li Yu looked speechless.
Before the apocalypse, many men thought with their lower bodies more;
After the apocalypse, the evil of human nature was magnified to the extreme. Many men, with lust-filled brains, did not do proper work all day, only knowing that.
This was yet another drama centered around a single shudder.
Li Yu cursed in his heart: "I'm truly fed up!"
Just as his patience was running out, he suddenly heard the refined man say to Big Gold Tooth, "Brother Jin, we're really lucky this time, encountering so many women at once. Last time in Xiang County, I didn't even get enough!"
Xiang County!
Xiang County!
Xiang County!
Upon hearing this, Li Yu instantly turned his head to look at Zhao Dapao.
He was afraid that Zhao Dapao would become emotional and expose their position.
Zhao Dapao was trembling all over, gripping his gun tightly.
His eyes seemed to spit fire, and he gritted his teeth. His face was as furious as a lion.
But, he did not make a sound.
Li Yu sighed and gently patted Zhao Dapao.
He knew that when Zhao Dapao returned to Xiang County, he saw his family brutally murdered. He had asked many people there and only then learned that it was a group of outsiders who had come.
Since Zhao Dapao joined the base, whenever Li Yu took everyone out, he would ask any survivors they encountered if they had been to Xiang County or if anyone had seen people go to Xiang County.
But there had been no news, no news of Zhao Dapao's enemies, until now.
At this moment, he finally heard it. Although he couldn't be 100% sure, based on the conversation of that group of people just now, there was a very high probability that it was them!
Li Yu had once promised Zhao Dapao that he would help him find traces of his enemies and help him get revenge, and Li Yu had been doing so all along.
And now, he finally saw a trace!
On the other side.
Song Min's face changed between light and dark, struggling with what Big Gold Tooth and the others said.
Those people opposite had guns! Although she also had a crossbow, it certainly wasn't as fast as their guns.
Moreover, the people opposite were all adult men. If they were to fight, her side would definitely suffer more.
She could save her younger brother, but she couldn't risk the lives of her sisters. Her sisters trusted her so much; even now, with the opponents having guns, no one retreated, as if they would all go to their deaths to save someone if she gave the command.
Her sisters trusted her, and the less they feared death, the more she had to consider their safety.
A look of struggle appeared on her face, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Her mind raced, thinking about how to break this situation.
Meanwhile, Big Gold Tooth, seeing Song Min and the others making no move, felt his contempt grow stronger.
He looked at the man who had escaped back, spat, and said, "Them? They killed Jiezi, hahaha, you must be joking! Look at them now, they don't even dare to fart!
Women,
They are just... Heh heh, I can do whatever I want with them...
Later, I'll do that... And then you all..."
The man who had escaped back also looked at Song Min and the others with some confusion. He also seemed not to understand why the previously decisive woman was now so quiet and hesitant.
And the women next to Song Min, hearing their words, their faces flushed with anger, wanting to rush forward and kill them.
But Song Jie hadn't spoken yet.
So the sisters next to her began to speak, "Song Jie, we're not afraid, it's just a gun, isn't it? At worst, we die, but before I die, I'll bite off a piece of their flesh."
"Song Jie, let's go, these scumbags are doing this again! We must castrate them!"
"Song Jie, I didn't plan to keep living anyway. I don't want to hold back this breath."
"Song Jie, I'm not afraid, we've always been sisters, and we always will be!"
"Song Jie, I've figured it out. A person lives for one breath. I must prove that we are no worse than these stinking men. In this apocalypse, we women can also live very well!"
"Song Jie! I want to kill them!"
"Die!"
Several women, while speaking, slowly moved forward.
No one showed fear, no one was terrified, no one was scared.
There was only a kind of unwavering resolve!
There was only the indomitable roar from deep within their hearts. They were unwilling, unwilling to accept gender inequality, unwilling to be regarded by men merely as tools for that matter!
Unwilling, they were unwilling!
It was as if they were confined by an earthly cage, unable to breathe, their bodies whipped to a bloody pulp, an invisible force pressing down on them, preventing them from looking up!
It was like an invisible rope of traditional customs, binding their necks, constantly pulling, making them unable to breathe at all.
They! They wanted these men to never dare to belittle them again!
They! They wanted to use their lives to roar out to this world, to fight with all their might:
Women are just as strong! Women should not be treated as tools!
The hot, dry weather in the sky already made people irritable. Even more, the muggy hot air made people feel suffocated and unable to breathe.
Some zombie corpses, or decaying bodies, were unremarkable in this dilapidated street.
But the stench they emitted made one want to vomit.
These women walked with firm steps, their eyes resolute, without a hint of fear or any sign of retreat.
Seeing her sisters like this, Song Min's eyes reddened, and she bit her lower lip so hard that it bled, not caring at all.
Looking at these sisters, the emotion of being touched surged through her like waves, making her want to cry out loud!
But she held it back.
