Yugu Terrace was surrounded by a circle of iron railings with barbed wire on top, but the entire fence was not very high, only less than 2 meters.
Li Yu and his group were facing a lawn, and behind the lawn were about ten houses, not far from the iron railing. However, if they were to try to sneak over the railing, they would definitely be discovered, because the area in front was an open lawn with an unobstructed view.
Li Yu took out his binoculars, aimed them at Yugu Terrace, and began to observe:
Some people were cultivating the lawn, seemingly preparing to plant something. Suddenly, three people walked out of the largest house.
The person in front was dressed like an old farmer, with a dark face and a slight smile. However, whether it was due to his face shape or his mouth, he gave people the feeling of a smiling tiger.
Behind this middle-aged man, who resembled an old farmer, followed two men with a strong street vibe.
Li Yu waved, signaling for Mr. Wen Zhong to come over. He handed him the binoculars and asked, "Is Zhang Laoda the one with the dark complexion, right by the railing?"
Mr. Wen Zhong took the binoculars, looked carefully, and said, "Yes, yes, that's him. The two people behind him are his sworn brothers."
Li Yu asked, "Yesterday you said, besides Big Gold Tooth who went to Xiang County, who else went? Do you remember them all?"
Mr. Wen Zhong hesitated a bit, but finally nodded and said, "I remember, it was mainly those who used to work under Zhang Laoda."
Li Yu saw his hesitation but didn't ask further. It's better to kill by mistake than to let someone go.
In the apocalypse, there's no good or bad. For people like him, it's better to be a bad person themselves than to let others play the role of a bad person.
He then observed their defenses. There were two gates, one East and one West. The East was a large gate, constantly guarded by four people, but they only had long-handled weapons, no firearms. The West Gate was a small gate, guarded by two people.
He checked the time; it was already 10 o'clock. So he asked, "How do you usually eat lunch?"
Mr. Wen Zhong said, "They eat separately from us. Zhang Laoda has a dedicated chef to cook for them. We are distributed supplies based on our contributions from scavenging. Some people who don't contribute don't get to eat, while others trade for food. Some use their bodies, some use pre-apocalypse items..."
Li Yu nodded, then told everyone to eat something first. He wanted to launch an attack while Zhang Laoda's group was having lunch!
No one objected, so they began eating the portable food they had brought.
After eating, they rested for half an hour, then Li Yu and the others went downstairs and set off.
This time, they also drove one of Big Gold Tooth's previous cars. Li Yu was sitting inside the car, planning to enter through the West's small gate as per the plan. However, even the West's small gate had a guard booth, and the two guards had been staying inside the guard booth.
Li Yu untied Mr. Wen Zhong and the young man, then had Mr. Wen Zhong drive, the young man sit in the passenger seat, and Li Yu and Zhao Dapao sit in the back.
As the vehicle got closer, Li Yu's heart became calmer. After thinking for a moment, he took out two cartons of cigarettes from the trunk.
The vehicle stopped in front of the West Gate's pull-down gate, but even at the main entrance, the people inside the guard booth didn't seem to notice their arrival and still didn't come out. Li Yu was a bit puzzled. Could it be that no one was inside?
Li Yu glanced at Mr. Wen Zhong, who looked back and saw the warning in Li Yu's eyes, feeling the hard object on his back, and his heart trembled slightly.
Immediately, he rolled down the car window and shouted towards the guard booth, "Xie Ge (Brother Xie), Wang Ge, we're back. Please open the gate!"
After a while, a person slowly emerged from inside the guard booth, holding a bottle of beer, drinking as he walked out.
Seeing Mr. Wen Zhong in front of the car, he said grumpily, "How come you're the first one back? Where are Brother Jin and the others?"
Mr. Wen Zhong said, "Brother Jin, he found something interesting over there, you know, just like in Xiang County. He's enjoying himself so much he forgot to return, so he asked me to transport the supplies back first."
Upon hearing this, the man immediately felt that the beer in his hand was no longer satisfying. He complained, "Hey! Such good fortune, damn it, I should have gone with them..."
Then he glanced at Mr. Wen Zhong, his eyeballs rolling twice, and an arrogant expression appeared on his face. He said, "This isn't your first time going out, you know the rules, right?"
Mr. Wen Zhong then extended the two cartons of cigarettes Li Yu had just given him out of the car window, shaking them, and said, "I understand, I understand. This is my extra offering to you. You can pick and choose from the things in the back of the car later, but don't be too obvious. Brother Jin and the others have already counted them."
The man who came out of the guard booth instantly brightened when he saw the two cartons of cigarettes. He was an Old Smoker, and his stash had long been used up. Now, seeing the two cartons, he was immediately excited.
So he quickly ran over, took out the keys, and opened the large iron gate.
Seeing this, Mr. Wen Zhong quickly drove the car in. Li Yu and Zhao Dapao in the car exchanged glances; they were ready.
As soon as the car stopped, the man from the guard booth impatiently ran to the car, wanting to immediately get those two cartons of cigarettes. He had been craving them for a long time.
Originally, Li Yu and the others were still thinking about how to get the person from the guard booth to come out, preferably close to the car. They didn't expect that two cartons of cigarettes would attract him.
As the man stood in front of the car, Mr. Wen Zhong handed over the two cartons of cigarettes.
At the same time, Li Yu and Zhao Dapao opened the car doors and darted out.
Li Yu got out of the car and walked towards the man, less than 2 meters away.
The man had just gotten the cigarettes in his hand and was about to tear open the packaging. Hearing the car door move, he just raised his head and saw Li Yu walking towards him with a friendly smile on his face.
"He is...?" Before he could finish asking these two words, Li Yu precisely stabbed him in the neck with a knife.
"Gurgle gurgle..."
Blood instantly gushed from the man's neck. He looked at Li Yu with a terrified expression; he hadn't even reacted before Li Yu took him down with a single stab.
Li Yu covered his mouth, preventing him from making any sound, then held his body and slowly laid him on the ground.
At this moment, Zhao Dapao, after getting out of the right car door, ran directly towards the guard booth.
The guard booth door was open, and a fat man was sitting at a table, feasting. Hearing footsteps, he didn't even raise his head and said, "Old Wang, you can't shortchange me on my share."
Silence. Apparently, he heard no response. The fat man raised his head, and at this moment, Zhao Dapao was already behind him. As he looked up, Zhao Dapao plunged a knife into his neck, then firmly held the fat man's mouth, preventing him from making any sound.
The fat man seemed to not have fully recovered before he slowly lost his breath.
Outside the guard booth, Mr. Wen Zhong and the young man watched Li Yu ruthlessly and decisively deal with Lao Xie, the gatekeeper, feeling their scalps tingle.
