Chapter 211 203: For Your Own Good
"Does Captain Lv mean to hand over some people?"
After hearing Captain Lv's words, Director Zhang frantically gave him pointed looks.
Captain Lv saw Director Zhang's gestures and felt very helpless inside. In Jiefang City, he understood what Director Zhang wanted to do, which was indeed justifiable—Director Zhang wanted to unite more people together.
But the current situation was that internal management issues were increasing. Without him and a few old comrades supporting and deterring, Jiefang City would have been in chaos long ago.
And there were many times when he was cleaning up messes for Director Zhang.
Director Zhang isn't a bad person, but he is too idealistic.
Actually, Director Zhang should thank Li Yu. If it weren't for him solving the problem with Yugu Platform and dealing with the Salvation Army, Jiefang City would have been occupied by others long ago.
Upon hearing this, Li Yu's eyes carried a hint of profound meaning.
He spoke, "You want to protect them?"
His tone was calm, yet it carried an indescribable intent to kill.
Upon hearing this, Captain Lv shuddered and was just about to speak.
But then he heard Li Yu say, "Among them, there are eight led by a man with a large back head. They must die."
Li Yu had learned from the earlier situation at the Cross-river Bridge that there were a total of eight people led by the man with a large back head.
Li Yu said this because he didn't want to harm the people of Jiefang City, which had taken in all sorts of people in an attempt to build a human settlement to help everyone.
The intention was good, and the starting point was good. Director Zhang and Captain Lv weren't bad people. Although Director Zhang was somewhat blind to the situation, the fact that they were attempting such a task was brave nonetheless.
If it weren't for them, his aunt and the others might have encountered even greater problems at the beginning. So, in essence, he really didn't want to clash with them.
There is a time for revenge and a time for gratitude. Li Yu had a sense of balance in his heart.
Back then, they took in his aunt and the others, and he also left some things for Jiefang City, even indirectly helping them deal with Yugu Platform and the Salvation Army.
That could be considered repaying them, even exceeding the help they had given his aunt and the others at the beginning.
Nowadays, the population of Jiefang City was increasing, now totaling several hundred people. The recent addition of over a hundred people brought the count to nearly 600.
That so many people had survived to this point was a miracle, especially during this drought where there had been no rain for a month.
He guessed they were going to have a very, very difficult time.
Since they wanted to take in these refugees, let them see what it's like to support so many people, to care for a group accustomed to hunger, and witness the consequences.
After pondering for a moment, Captain Lv spoke, "Is this really necessary?"
Li Yu nodded with absolute certainty.
Captain Lv glanced at Director Zhang and said, "Fine. Follow me inside to take your people."
He gestured with his hand to have the gates opened.
In fact, they weren't worried about Li Yu and his people taking advantage while entering. With such a large gap in weapons, having more people was meaningless.
If Li Yu wanted to attack them, he wouldn't be standing so obviously at the gate waiting for them.
The gate slowly opened. Li Yu left three people behind to watch the vehicles.
The rest followed him inside.
Director Zhang looked as dejected as a defeated rooster, hanging his head as he followed behind. He wanted to save those people, but they lacked the strength.
Moreover, Li Yu's brazen entrance to take people away was akin to a slap in his face.
When Li Yu and his people entered, some of the refugees had already seen them.
They were now looking to flee in fear, but Captain Lv had been cautious; after these people had joined, he had some watch over them.
They needed to pass some days before they could fully trust them.
But just those people alone surely couldn't stop them. Just now, several refugees had run to the gates and eavesdropped on their conversation.
Now hastily returning to the crowd of refugees, they relayed the recent happenings.
"The people from that base outside have come knocking. They're only asking for Manager Zeng and his group. We can't let them get away," said the person who had just escaped back.
"Yes, yes, if it weren't for Manager Zeng, we wouldn't have foolishly run to them."
"It's all Manager Zeng's fault. He is the main culprit; we can't let him drag us down."
"Hand them over."
....
At that moment, everyone wanted to strike at General Zeng and his people.
Surrounded, the man with the crew cut looked at this motley crowd; indeed, they were a rabble.
He sighed, but wasn't willing to let himself be killed by Li Yu and the others just like that.
So he gave a cue with his eyes to several men nearby.
Taking advantage of the reduced number of people to the north, they dashed in that direction.
Eight men made a ferocious dash; the crowd couldn't stop them immediately, but eventually, two men were grabbed and held back. After being caught by the crowd, the crew cut turned his head for a look, then immediately ran.
Just as he was running out of the hall and heading to the side, Li Yu and his group happened to come over.
Seeing the man with the crew cut, Dapao raised the firearm in his hand, aimed, Bang!
A gunshot blew his head clean off.
The crew cut's head burst open like a watermelon.
Fragmented.
The few people behind him also paused momentarily.
The group of refugees behind them also fiercely captured these men, pressing them down.
Seeing this, Li Yu gave them a complicated look.
Then he walked forward to face the remaining seven men.
Around these refugees, some of the residents of Jiefang City had also come to join in the excitement.
The gunshot earlier had startled them as well.
Especially upon seeing Li Yu and his group wielding submachine guns, they felt fearful yet couldn't help their curiosity.
Seeing Li Yu and his group approaching, some recognized them, some did not; but now, seeing Director Zhang and Captain Lv following Li Yu, they felt reassured.
Li Yu walked up without any hesitation and plunged a knife into one of the men.
Li Hang, Li Tie, and the others also stabbed these men one by one.
The scene was exceptionally bloody.
The people from Jiefang City, witnessing their actions, were scared and started looking at Li Yu and his group with terror.
The tip of Li Yu's knife was still dripping with blood.
He looked at the group of refugees with a murderous aura, causing them to retreat rapidly.
Li Yu sheathed his knife and turned to leave.
Without a single unnecessary word.
Li Hang and the others followed him, walking towards the door.
This scene not only deterred the group of refugees but also shook the other residents of Jiefang City once again.
Director Zhang's face was ashen; he felt that Li Yu had severely slapped him across the face.
As Li Yu passed by Captain Lv, he paused, and then finally said: "Refugees will be refugees; take care of yourselves."
He was aware that among these refugees, there certainly were those with a taste for human flesh; such people had no bottom line left.
Moreover, with so many people, whether they could survive was a question mark.
After all, this hot, rainless weather might continue for a while.
Lack of food, lack of water, lack of morals.
So, having given the warning, whether they listened was up to them.
