Li Yu and the others were holding submachine guns, watching Luo Hu and his group clear out the area by the gate.
About ten minutes later, the debris at the gate had been completely cleared.
Sweat dripping from his forehead, Luo Hu trotted over and said, "Director Li, please take a look. Is this good enough now?
Are we getting in the vehicles directly?"
Li Yu couldn't help but laugh, "What are you thinking? Move aside."
Luo Hu's expression changed as he responded, "Didn't you just say if we cleared this area, you would let us join?"
"I never agreed to that. Move aside now," said Li Yu.
Seeing that Li Yu was not to be persuaded, Luo Hu hurriedly turned to Lao Lu beside him, "We all ca from Jiefang City, and we are truly struggling out here. Please, help appeal to Director Li on our behalf."
Lao Lu looked speechless. At Big Camphor Tree Base, everyone listens to Li Yu; why the hell should Li Yu listen to him? Besides, you, Luo Hu, even if you want to join, you need to show so attitude, right?
A direct threat?
You even closed the gate; I really don't understand why there are such people who are so brazen to make demands when they are without any bargaining chips?
Seeing Lao Lu not responding, Luo Hu beca more anxious and said quickly: "Lao Lu, you aren't being very fair here. I helped you in the past. During the resource distribution in Jiefang City, I did give so of it to you."
Lao Lu hadn't said anything just yet, but when Luo Hu brought up the past, he instantly beca aggravated. Originally, there were many groups in Jiefang City sent out to scout for resources.
Lao Lu's group was also supposed to go scouting, but because of the fair voting system proposed by Director Zhang, their responsibilities were divided to protect Jiefang City round the clock.
Because they were protecting the city, they rarely went out to scout for resources. The resources they needed for daily life had to be contributed by other group mbers.
This was the agreent they had made from the beginning: any group that went out to scout for resources had to share a portion with the community of Jiefang City and keep a portion for themselves.
The community share was then partly distributed to mbers like Lao Lu who were protecting Jiefang City, aning this portion was rightfully owed to them.
But as ti went on, the mbers of the exploration groups beca more greedy, contributing less and less resources.
All this was a result of the so-called "peaceful collective governance" proposed by Director Zhang in the beginning.
This Luo Hu, whenever he contributed resources, was always the one who owed the most, along with two other people. Every ti Lao Lu asked him for supplies, he had to ask several tis.
With a face as grim as iron, Lao Lu retorted, "The part you paid was according to the rules of Jiefang City at the ti. Moreover, how about you try fending off a Zombie Tide? Every ti there's a Zombie Tide, you guys are the first to run!"
Luo Hu wanted to say sothing more, but Li Yu had lost all patience upon hearing this. He was now focused on getting back to the base as soon as possible.
He had no will to listen to their pointless bickering.
Therefore, impatiently, he stated, "Move aside. This is the last ti I'm asking."
Hearing Li Yu's impatient tone and seeing the few people behind him injured by the blast, Luo Hu said:
"Since Director Li is unwilling to let us join, let's leave it at that.
Let's talk common sense—you've injured a few of our brothers with that blast. How should we settle this?
It's true that we were wrong for blocking your way at the gate.
But we only intended to get a chance to talk to you; there was no malice in it. Besides, we've cleared the place up.
So here's what we'll do, Director Li. We won't block your way anymore, but you have to answer for injuring our brothers."
Li Yu, hearing this, suddenly found it ridiculous, and turning his head to Li Hang and the others, he saw they, too, wore expressions of disbelief.
This world, there are many kinds of people.
But there are always so without a clue in their hearts.
To negotiate, for heaven's sake, you must have a bargaining chip!
What bargaining chip does Luo Hu have? Why such confidence?
Haven't been thrashed enough in this post-apocalyptic world, have you?
Li Yu deeply felt that it was a miracle Luo Hu had survived this long.
Li Yu asked, "The tiger's corpse, was it you guys who took it?"
Luo Hu replied, "What tiger?"
Taking a deep breath, Li Yu said, "You're really lucky."
After saying that, Li Yu shouted, "Scram, Lao Lu is here today, so I won't kill you."
Luo Hu stubbornly raised his neck and defiantly stared at Li Yu and his group: "Even in the post-apocalyptic world, you have to be reasonable.
If people stop being reasonable, ignoring morality and decency, then living like you are nothing but walking dead."
Dapao held his gun, raised it, and then rested it again; his facial expression looked like he had eaten shit.
Li Yu stopped talking, turned his head and said, "Fuck off."
With that, the submachine gun in his hand started popping.
Li Hang and Dapao, waiting behind, couldn't hold back any longer and fired their guns.
Bang, bang, bang, bangbang~
Seeing this, Lao Lu also began firing on these people.
"Kill them all, don't let a single one go," Li Yu shouted.
Dapao and Li Hang exchanged glances; this was how Big Brother used to be, right? They had just thought he had changed after he talked so much earlier.
To kill them all, that was Li Yu's style.
Those who didn't know their own strength, those who hadn't faced major setbacks, it was luck, not proof they were right.
There will always be soone to teach them a lesson.
Luo Hu's head burst open in an instant, and the rest of the people fell to the ground after being hit.
There were 12 people in total, including the two blown up by the hand grenade that Li Yu initially held; 12 bodies lay there.
Li Yu walked around and didn't see anyone else.
Finally, he shouted at Li Hang and Dapao who were still stabbing the bodies: "Fucking hell, stop stabbing, they're already dead like this, what the hell are you poking at?"
Wondering if it was his influence, Dapao and Li Hang were showing so psychopathic violence.
Get in the car.
No need to deal with these bodies anymore. After their heads were separated, they wouldn't turn into zombies.
After they left, the snow would naturally bury these bodies.
In the car, Li Hang wiped his long knife with a cloth and said,
"Bro, why were you talking nonsense with them just now? Could've just shot them directly, why didn't you kill them earlier? After all, they blocked the gate here.
It looked like they were waiting for us to get out of the car so they could ambush us, why were you planning on letting them go later?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yu casually responded, "The tiger's corpse, did you guys see it just now?"
When he said this, everyone seed to understand sothing, yet were still sowhat confused.
Seeing the puzzled looks, Li Yu explained, "At first, I didn't kill them partly because of Lao Lu's sake, to give them a chance to live."
Li Hang and Dapao both curled their lips, as if to say, 'Yeah, right.'
Li Yu continued, "On the other hand, since the tiger's corpse was missing, I initially guessed it was them, but they didn't admit it, so it was hard to tell if it was true.
One reason to let them go was to see if they had taken the tiger's corpse. If it wasn't them, then there might be other people around.
Another reason was to have all of them co out and clean up the gate so we could gather them together to deal with them later. It saves the trouble of any escaping fish."
"So that's how it is."
"I get it now."
"That's what I thought."
Li Yu gazed out the window at the snow, his eyes filled with contemplation: If it wasn't them, who had taken the tiger's corpse?
