Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 345 - 337: Rumble Rumble Rumble
Electronic wholesale market entrance.
Li Yu's gaze became slightly stern as he seriously asked, "Did you see anyone else when you just came in?"
Old Xie and Shang Xue'er, who had been outside all the while, both indicated that they did not see anyone.
Upon hearing this, Li Yu didn't probe further. Regardless of whether there were people or not, the current priority was to return to the base.
Taking advantage of the snow-free moment, they hurried back. The incident that occurred during the journey here had left Yang Tianlong injured, his arm swollen, and the wound needed to be treated as soon as possible.
With this in mind, Li Yu directly said, "Everyone be careful and keep an eye on your surroundings. Dapao, Old Xie, drive the vehicles. Let's head back the way we came."
"Okay."
"Okay."
Two vehicles, one after the other, slowly left the electronic wholesale market.
Just as they were descending the slope away from the electronic wholesale market, everyone noticed that the front gate was blocked by some objects.
The gate was originally height and width restricted.
But previously, when Li Yu and his team arrived, they had already dismantled the restrictions at this place.
Now, the passage was blocked again with various items and some trees and stones.
Everyone leaned on the windows to observe the surroundings but still saw no one.
Dapao turned his head towards Li Yu and said, "Brother Yu, shall I get out and clear it?
Our car has a snow plow attached to the front, and although it's feasible to push through directly, when we return we'll still need to plow snow. If it gets knocked askew, it will be difficult to repair."
Li Yu looked around, his expression cold as he said, "Don't get out. We can't be sure of the situation yet. Let's observe for now."
He then took out a walkie-talkie and spoke to Old Xie in the vehicle behind, "You guys don't get out either; wait in the back.
Everyone prepare your firearms, get ready for combat."
After Li Yu finished speaking, he had Shang Xue'er and Yang Tianlong move aside, then opened the sunroof leading to the roof of the vehicle.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
With the sunroof open, the cold outside air blew inside.
Li Yu equipped his helmet and then climbed up.
However, he did not fully expose his body outside, observed the surroundings for a while and seeing no one, yet a faint sense of crisis arose in his heart.
This sense of crisis came from the gate they were facing, cluttered and filled with miscellaneous objects.
Perhaps someone was hiding there.
Li Yu thought for a moment, an idea came to him, and he spoke to Dapao below, "Drive a bit closer to that gate, a distance of about ten meters should do."
Upon hearing this, Dapao didn't dawdle, directly driving the car forward a certain distance, stopping right in front of the gate.
From a distance of about ten meters, they could see the objects at the gate more clearly.
The stones they had moved earlier, along with the height-limiting iron poles, were piled up on the snow. They would definitely need to get out and clear it if they wanted to pass.
Li Yu estimated the distance and took out several grenades from his waist, a gear not dared to be used before on the road, as they were worried about causing an avalanche while passing through the mountains and forests.
Even though he hadn't used them before, avalanches had been triggered.
The location they were currently at was relatively flat.
Inside the vehicle, Yang Tianlong saw Li Yu's movements and immediately understood what he was going to do: "Young Li, are you going to blow it up?"
"Um. Let's try."
Li Yu did not hesitate, pulled the pin of the grenade, waited for two seconds, then threw it with force towards the gate ten meters away.
Before the explosion, Li Yu pulled out another grenade, mimicking the previous action, and threw two more over.
Boom~
Boom~
Boom~
The three loud sounds startled Old Xie and the others in the rear vehicle.
Right after that, a series of wailing cries came from the front.
"My legs, my legs."
"It hurts, my eyes, I'm blind, I'm blind."
"TMD... why did they just bomb us directly?"
Li Yu, in the car, heard the voices and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Old Lü, Dapao, Li Hang, the four of us prepare to get out of the car. Shang Xue'er, you take the steering wheel."
After the four got out of the car, they saw the chaos at the gate ahead, made worse by the bombing of three hand grenades.
Yet, right in the middle, it had been cleared, revealing four or five blood-soaked people near the gate.
At the very front, two people were blown to death, and beside them lay two steel knives.
Seeing Li Yu and his group approach, several uninjured people appeared from both sides, as they were farther away from that gate.
At this time, those people came out apprehensively, saying to Li Yu and his group:
"Director Li, Old Lü, we had no choice, we just wanted to join you. It took us a lot of effort to catch up with you. We were afraid you would run off, so we made this desperate move.
We really mean no harm, it was wrong of us to block your way, but we just wanted a chance to seek your help."
Li Yu, upon hearing this, raised his eyebrows—acquaintances?
But he seemed to have no memory of the man in front. So he turned to look at Old Lü: "Do you recognize them?"
Old Lü stepped forward two steps, took a careful look at the man and those beside him.
Finally, he recognized them, their appearance had changed drastically!
Except for their heights, their entire facial structures had thinned drastically, and their complexions had also turned purple-black from the cold.
Stepping next to Li Yu, he spoke in a low voice: "I just remembered, they are also from Jiefang City. The leader used to be the head of one of our resource-searching teams, named Luo Hu.
When Jiefang City disbanded, it was these people who were the main culprits. However, we didn't see them in the end because all of us were scattered."
Li Yu roughly understood upon hearing this.
They were the people from Jiefang City at that time, he remembered Xie Liuhai vividly too.
Honestly, he didn't have a high opinion of anyone from Jiefang City back then besides Old Lü and a few others.
The man leading the opposite group, noticing Old Lü whispering something into Li Yu's ear, spoke with a fawning expression:
"Old Lü, we were both from Jiefang City, remember? I even spoke up for you back then. Look, it's so cold now, see if we can join Director Li's team.
Director Li, we sincerely want to join your team, actually blocking your way was not my idea, it was all Old Zhang's idea."
Li Yu asked, "Who is Old Zhang?"
Luo Hu pointed directly at a body lying on the ground, saying: "That's him. Director Li, you bombed well, killed him. Served him right."
Li Yu looked at the demeanor of this man, restraining from shooting him.
He glanced at the cluttered gate ahead; to leave, they'd still need to clear it.
So Li Yu commanded: "Clean up the gate."
Luo Hu, somewhat excited, asked: "If we clean it up, will you let us join?"
Li Yu didn't respond, but aimed his gun at them instead. Behind him, Li Hang and Dapao also aimed their guns at the group in front.
Luo Hu quickly appeased, "We'll clear it, we'll clear it, don't get agitated."
So he called over the remaining six or seven people to clear the debris.
Some injured individuals murmured in soft tones: "Brother Hu, if we clean this up and they don't take us, what then?"
Luo Hu pondered before responding: "Old Lü and Old Xie are known to us, seeing Old Lü's position, he seems highly valued by Director Li.
We'll find a way, if Old Lü can join, why can't we?
If all else fails, we'll humble ourselves further. Once we join, we'll find an opportunity to turn the tables."
Li Yu watched them mutter among themselves, paying no mind as long as they cleared the debris.
Behind him, Dapao and Li Hang exchanged glances, immediately understanding each other's concerns.
These people were not to be trusted, they feared Li Yu might actually take them in after the clean-up.
Li Hang started to speak but paused, appearing to recall something, then reassured himself.
