Director Zhang opened his mouth, intending to speak, but upon seeing the actions of the other police officers, he instantly clamped his mouth shut tight.
He wasn't foolish. He had already clashed with Captain Lv over the matter with Boss Zhang. Although he was ranked higher than them, the world had changed; it was the apocalypse now. Most of their compliance towards him was due to the retention of so pre-apocalyptic professional attributes.
Now it seed they were determined to drive these four individuals out and hand them over to Li Yu and the others to deal with.
Having realized this, Director Zhang simply ignored the pleading gazes of these four and remained silent.
Under the prodding of the officers, the four were reluctant to leave, dragging their feet. Captain Lv pulled out his handgun, pointed it at them, and said without any courtesy, "Get out!" He believed those associated with Boss Zhang had caused Old Ma's death, and now, expecting him to save them was nothing but a dream.
If it weren't for Director Zhang's intervention, these few officers would have already gone after Boss Zhang!
Now, having soone willingly eliminate Boss Zhang, they couldn't be happier.
The four despaired at the sight of Captain Lv drawing his gun. They could only move bit by bit.
One foot had already stepped outside the door.
They turned back to glance at the officers and then towards where Li Yu was, a flicker of struggle in their eyes. They seed to want to plead with Li Yu once more.
But Li Yu and his companions didn't give them any chance to speak.
As soon as they stepped out of the door, Li Yu fired two shots, and Zhao Dapao also fired two shots.
Four gunshots rang out.
Then, four bodies fell to the ground.
Li Yu's face was all seriousness, as if nothing had happened just now. He refrained from intruding and killing because he didn't want trouble; after all, there were over three hundred people on his side.
However, not wanting trouble didn't an he was afraid of trouble. In this apocalypse, absolute firepower ant absolute authority.
If they dared to try to save these four individuals, Li Yu wouldn't mind storming in.
This was the real apocalypse. These were also Li Yu's true thoughts. Perhaps, in this apocalypse, many glimrs of humanity would shine, but Li Yu wasn't a great man or soone ant to change humanity's fate as a transcendent being.
He was just an ordinary person, capable of malice, emboldened by the apocalypse, harboring inner evil; but he could also be kind and didn't wish to witness so tragic events.
However, if anyone threatened him or tried to hinder him, and he had the power, then he would unhesitatingly take care of so people.
These four t their end right at the gateway. Director Zhang looked uncomfortable, as he thought Li Yu and the others would at least take the four away and deal with them off the record.
But now, right at the gateway. These four had begged him to save them, but not only did he fail to protect them, he actually let Li Yu and the others kill them outright at the door!
Director Zhang felt like he couldn't save face, as if a slap had left his face tingling with a fiery pain.
However, Captain Lv, the police officer standing next to him, flashed a hint of admiration in his eyes upon seeing Li Yu decisively kill those four people.
Decisive, strong, and with a hatred for evil.
Captain Lv looked appreciatively at Li Yu and his companions. Although they appeared sowhat ruthless, it was clear from looking at Zhao Dapao and the others that they had all served as soldiers.
Considering his own side, Captain Lv thought, although there were more than three hundred people, only a few knew how to handle guns. There were many people, but very few who were actually capable of combat. So he said, "Fellow friends, I've also been a soldier, we're comrades-in-arms. Look, now that the apocalypse has arrived, we should all unite. That way, our strength will increase, and we won't be overrun by zombies. Would you be willing to join us?"
Indeed, in this group, the original rule was: anyone can join, regardless of age, gender, or where they had wandered from. It was precisely because of this that, although their team was large, there were only a few with real combat abilities…
As soon as Captain Lv finished speaking, Director Zhang's eyes lit up next to him. Right, if they could attract them to join, then their own strength would greatly increase. But he then imdiately considered: what if these people staged a coup? With that thought, he fell into contemplation.
Li Yu had been listening to Captain Lv's words all along, and didn't think much of them at first, but by the end, he felt like laughing. Join them? Join them to share in the hard tis?
Looking at the people who were gathering around because of the noise, though these individuals seed a bit better in spirit than those under Boss Zhang, they still looked malnourished, thin, and pallid.
After the apocalypse erupted, many fields, even many storage facilities, had been overwheld by the catastrophe. In the absence of production, everyone had to go out to scavenge, but as ti went on, supplies beca scarcer and harder to gather, leading them to venture further and further afield.
Li Yu shook his head and straightforwardly rejected their offer.
In his past life, Li Yu had joined a number of groups, large and small. When the apocalypse initially broke out, it wasn't so bad—people's natures hadn't deteriorated too much—but later, even within groups, there were hierarchies.
Those without strength could only fall to the lowest rank, Level One, and in extraordinary circumstances, they might even be tasked with drawing away the zombies. After joining several different groups, Li Yu eventually decided to beco a lone wolf.
Because although it's much riskier to be alone in the apocalypse, in those groups, you can't trust anyone. You have to be cautious of everyone around you, and it's more exhausting than being alone in the wild.
When Captain Lv saw Li Yu shake his head, he wasn't too surprised. After all, given their strength, Li Yu and his crew certainly wouldn't fare worse in the apocalypse than others.
Behind Captain Lv, there were so ordinary civilians who looked at Li Yu and his companions with fear in their eyes.
Li Yu didn't want to interact too much with them and was ready to leave.
He cast one final glance at them before heading towards the vehicle.
Zhao Dapao looked down at the four bodies on the ground. It was as if he had accomplished sothing significant and suddenly relaxed, appearing a bit out of it, but so part of him made him follow Li Yu towards the car.
The others didn't speak either. Seeing Li Yu's movents, they also headed towards the car.
Director Zhang felt a bit regretful watching Li Yu and the others prepare to leave, but even more so, he was relieved. After all, Li Yu's presence had been too intimidating, and he was not very talkative, giving the impression that he would be difficult to get along with.
With so vigilance in his heart, he watched as Li Yu and his group boarded their vehicle. They had eliminated the powerful Boss Zhang, so this group was frightening indeed.
anwhile, in Jiefang City, not everyone had been attracted to the gate by the bell. So people, for various reasons, did not go to join the commotion.
At the mont, there was a middle-aged man, burning with a high fever and fallen into a coma. There was a terrible knife wound on his chest, which seed to be quite old, and lacking Anti-inflammatory Drugs, the wound had begun to fester and pus.
Next to him, a woman was taking care of him, holding a wet towel to place on the middle-aged man's forehead.
