This night was eerily quiet.
On this grid of streets, there was not a soul in sight.
Spring had arrived, and the roadside trees had begun to sprout new buds, but no one noticed.
The occasional cry of a nightingale pierced the tranquil night.
Li Yu had been sleeping in the small room on the top floor when suddenly the door opened.
*Creak*~
The mont the door was pushed open, Li Yu sat up and looked at the person coming in; it was Dapao.
Seeing Li Yu sit up, Dapao thought he hadn't been sleeping at all, so he curiously asked, "Brother Yu, didn't you sleep?"
Li Yu waved his hand dismissively and didn't answer the question but instead looked at his watch, only to find it was already 2:45 AM.
Only 15 minutes left until they began their operation.
He then asked Dapao, "Is everyone ready?"
Dapao nodded and said, "Yes, everyone is ready."
Li Yu then walked out of the room and went up to the balcony.
He had actually slept, but once outside, he imdiately entered a state of alertness, never falling into deep sleep no matter how tired or sleepy he was.
Any slight rustle of leaves or grass would wake him; this state had been honed since before he was reborn.
Standing on the balcony, Li Yu took out a telescope and observed the situation at Safe City opposite.
At the gate, there were four or five people, but in the darkness of the night, they yawned, their eyesight blurred, looking into the empty night.
He felt sowhat reassured in his heart.
He picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, "South Gate, West Gate, East Gate, are you all ready?"
On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Third Uncle and two others, Lao Xie and Lao Lv, heard Li Yu's voice.
They each replied, "We're ready."
Li Yu then stopped talking and went to check the firearms—a necessary check before any battle to prevent accidents during combat.
Li Yu checked each magazine one by one; this ti, everyone carried ten magazines each, hundreds of bullets per person, enough to handle those on the opposite side.
The main entrance where Li Yu was had the most personnel, five people, but in other directions, only two people, and at the back door, just one.
According to information extracted from Hua Chuanlong, those civilians inside Safe City now,
should number about thirty or forty people led by Elder Wu, all ard but short on ammunition.
The group led by Ke Hanyu numbered around a hundred people, with about a dozen guns, also lacking ammunition.
The rest of the civilians, likely another four or five hundred, were unard.
Li Yu took out the previously sketched map of the interior of Safe City, under the lamp light, he looked at a few red circles drawn on the paper.
In the middle position was the villa district where Elder Wu and Ke Hanyu lived.
Further back were the ABC areas for civilians, according to their plan.
After dealing with the people at the entrance simultaneously, they would quickly move in; Li Yu, Lao Lv, and Lao Xie would handle the people in the villa district.
Although they were not many, they were the most dangerous since they were ard.
Third Uncle would lead others to attack the civilian area.
Even before Li Yu slept, they had communicated about how to enter.
Since Li Yu and his team were facing ard and fairly capable fighters, Third Uncle suggested keeping a low profile as much as possible.
The less likely they were to be discovered before reaching the villa district, the more they could maximize their night-ti attack advantage.
They had prepared very thoroughly; this ti, everyone brought silencers, and there were sniper rifles in the vehicle.
To ensure lower shooting difficulty and guarantee a fatal shot, Li Yu and his team needed to get even closer to those on duty at the main gate.
In other directions, facing only two or one person, the difficulty was relatively low.
But at the main gate, there were five people on duty.
In an attack like this, the enemy must not have any ti to react; otherwise, if anyone made a noise,
It would be very troubleso.
Li Yu looked at He Chao beside him and said, "We're moving out; the outside will be up to you guys. Later, you must ensure that no one escapes from the main gate; we need no survivors. Understand?"
He Chao repeated the command given by Li Yu.
Li Yu looked at He Chao and nodded.
He then led Li Gang and others to a small building opposite Safe City.
This place was less than 80 ters away from the entrance of Safe City, a distance that guaranteed accuracy.
Because Li Tie was injured, he wasn't brought along this ti. Li Yu, Dapao, Yang Tianlong, and Li Gang all had excellent marksmanship.
This ti out, even though Li Hang had improved his shooting skills through multiple trials, for an extra layer of security,
Li Yu had Lai Dongsheng and Li Hang aim at the sa person to cover if one of them missed, so the other could compensate.
When everyone was in position, Li Yu checked the ti.
2:59 AM.
Li Yu glanced back at Li Hang, who was maintaining his aim, relaxed yet focused, just as he had taught him.
He smiled, not saying a word.
Thirty seconds left.
Li Yu pulled out his walkie-talkie and said, "Thirty seconds countdown, fire together when the ti cos."
"Received."
"Received."
"Received."
He Chao and others, not far from Li Yu, were so nervous they could hardly speak.
Their eyes reflected an inexplicable excitent. Attack, yes!
It felt sowhat cool.
They could sense the danger, but this proactive assault on the enemy, attacking the enemy, made their adrenaline surge.
Previously, they had been struggling to survive in the apocalypse, avoiding trouble by fleeing from crowded places, where, in this apocalypse, humans were more terrifying than zombies.
But now, turning around, changing roles, becoming the ones others fear.
This great contrast excited them.
Although they were not the main force, being part of it gave them a feeling of being quite aweso.
In the darkness, their eyes glead.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
Li Yu silently counted down in his mind.
When he reached one, bullets flew out of the muzzles.
At the sa ti, five more bullets shot out.
Thud!
In Safe City, a man holding a gun, feeling sowhat cold, took two steps and was shot right in the forehead.
The person next to him just saw the scene and had not even reacted yet.
His head also received a bullet, taking his life instantly.
Thud~
Thud~
Thud~
The mont the two of them were shot, the other three guards at the gate were all hit, one of them was even hit by two bullets.
Li Yu looked at Li Hang and Lai Dongsheng and gave them a thumbs-up.
At the sa ti, similar scenes were unfolding at the East, West, and South Gates.
Li Yu waited on the spot for two seconds, then suddenly darted out. While running, he took out his walkie-talkie and spoke to the others in different directions: "Is everything OK in all directions?"
"Killed. Completed step one."
"Killed, completed step one."
"Killed, completed step one."
Li Yu said, "Good, proceed to step two. Lao Lu, Lao Xie, we'll et in the villa area. He Chao, you can move to the gate, secure it, keep up."
