He Xing opened his palm, and two pairs of glasses instantly appeared in his palm. “Put on the light-resistant sunglasses quickly.”
Du Yue did not hesitate and put on the glasses. After putting on the glasses, not only could she open her eyes easily, but she could also see everything clearly without being affected by the strong light.
Du Yue looked at the dozen cars in front of her. Through the windshield, she could vaguely see that each car was filled with people, and these people were all holding guns.
Not only that, but some of the cars even had sunroofs open. Someone had half of his body out of the sunroof and had a machine gun in front of him. Du Yue was carefully looking around when she heard a voice coming from the door again.
“It’s a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Captain Zuo, you came all the way to my place. Why are you in a hurry to leave after saying a few words? If 1 really let you leave just like that, others will think that I’m a heartless person. In my opinion, you should just rest here and wait for the rest of the troops to come.”
Zuo Mingdong was on guard, and his tone darkened. “What are you guys up to?”
“Captain Zuo, we just feel sorry for everyone who’s tired from the journey and want to invite everyone in for tea and a chat.”
Zuo Mingdong scoffed. “Inviting us in for tea? It’s likely that the tea inside isn’t ordinary tea but life-threatening tea!”
“Hahaha! As expected of the captain of the first base. You’re indeed a smart man. Since you’ve already seen through it, I won’t beat around the bush with you. To be honest, we brothers have been stationed here for so long. It can be said that we have all the mineral resources we need, but it just so happens that the food to fill our stomachs is really scarce. Captain Zuo, you must have brought a lot of food with you this time to exchange for coal, right?
“As long as you obediently hand over the food to us, I can consider sparing your lives. Captain Zuo, I admire your ability to do things. If you’re willing to cooperate with us, I can let you be our captain.”
This person was so arrogant that Du Yue could not help but roll her eyes after listening to him, let alone Zuo Mingdong. Du Yue pulled the handbrake and picked up the gun. Du Yue caressed the cold touch of the gun and could not help but joke, “I haven’t touched a gun for too long. I don’t know if 1 can still shoot accurately.”
He Xing smiled at her. “1 taught you how to shoot. Even if you haven’t used it for a long time, I believe you can still get a headshot every time. However, there’s one thing. If we fight later, you must protect yourself.”
“The same goes for you.”
As soon as they finished speaking, Zuo Mingdong, who was suppressing his anger, spoke into the walkie-talkie. “Everyone, get ready. I’ll fire the first shot later. You guys act according to the situation. It’s meaningless to fight with them. The most important thing is to seize every opportunity to escape from here.”
Everyone had survived the apocalypse, so no one would act rashly. After receiving Zuo Mingdong’s order, everyone agreed without hesitation.
Perhaps it was because Zuo Mingdong did not respond for a long time, the person shouting at the iron gate was getting impatient. “Captain Zuo, you’re not responding. Are you discussing with your men to escape from our encirclement? 1 advise you to be obedient. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being blind. Everyone, listen to my order. Attack! If you catch anyone alive, you’ll be heavily rewarded!”
The meaning of this person’s words was obvious. Killing them to silence them was not his ultimate goal. Capturing them as bait and luring the main force over was. He wanted to capture them alive so that he could have a bargaining chip when he negotiated with the rest of the troops.
Du Yue’s lips curled into a faint smile after hearing the man’s instructions. Since he asked his subordinates to capture them alive, his subordinates would definitely not dare to kill him. They would more or less have some scruples. Once they started to be overcautious, they would not be far from a crushing defeat.
Du Yue heard the sound of bullets cutting through the air. As the first shot was fired, everyone pulled their triggers almost instantly. The bullets hit the car, making a dull sound and sending sparks flying. Du Yue and He Xing had already put on bulletproof vests in advance. Not only that, but they also put on bulletproof masks and gloves to cover their entire bodies..
