Since the few people were all within close range, only a step or two away. Third Uncle rushed toward the third person, who seemed to realize what was happening and tried to resist as he saw Third Uncle charging at him. Their weapons were set aside since they had just relieved themselves, and they hadn't picked them up yet.
Third Uncle moved forward and thrust his dagger into the man's neck without a moment's hesitation.
Then he pushed the body toward the fourth person, and while the fourth man was pushing the body away, Third Uncle's gaze sharpened as he saw the fifth person about to shout.
With his left hand, he drew another dagger and swung it with great force, piercing directly through the man's throat.
As he swung the dagger, he charged forward and slashed his blade at the last member of the Salvation Army.
However, this member of the Salvation Army seemed quite capable, reacting quickly. He pushed the body he was about to shove at Third Uncle; Third Uncle dodged swiftly, his right hand releasing the dagger, bringing it down swiftly.
Struck directly in the last member's abdomen.
The man clutched his stomach, about to crouch down to pick up a weapon, but Third Uncle had already approached, pulling the dagger from the man's abdomen with his right hand.
With his other hand firmly covering the man's mouth,
the dagger in his hand plunged again, at a rapid speed, striking nearly 5 times within a matter of seconds.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. These five Salvation Army members had no time to react before they were all taken down by Third Uncle with his dagger.
A gust of wind blew. Third Uncle laid down the body he was holding, pulled out the dagger, and wiped it on the victim's clothes, seemingly unbothered.
The reason he did not use firearms was to avoid attracting too many Salvation Army members at once. Before being discovered, he aimed to eliminate as many as possible.
Such narrow alleys in the County were his expertise.
Third Uncle took out his walkie-talkie, trying to communicate with Li Yu and the others, but still no sound came through. However, they had made some marks along the way and he believed they would see them. Considering the size of the County, it was possible that they might encounter the Salvation Army members who were dispersed.
Next, Third Uncle started his fierce rampage.
Continuously reaping necks.
This was already the 53rd person Third Uncle had killed with his knife, and the Salvation Army seemed to have noticed something.
Eventually, when bodies were discovered on the ground, a sharp siren sounded in the quiet County, a signal from the Salvation Army indicating they need to urgently regroup.
Meanwhile, Third Uncle had taken down two more men.
Hearing the siren, Third Uncle directly headed toward the sound. At that moment, his earpiece crackled with a voice: "Third Uncle, where are you? Where are you?"
"I'm on Fumin Road, they are sounding the siren, probably gathering. Hurry over," Third Uncle responded, then took off his earpiece and rushed toward the sound.
Now that people were arriving, it was time to fight openly. After all, these men were doomed.
Running, Third Uncle encountered members of the Salvation Army and took them down with his gun.
As gunshots rang out, the Salvation Army grew uncertain.
Third Uncle ran with incredible speed, managing to maintain shooting while on the run.
The sound of the horn was not far away, less than a kilometer. Upon arrival, Third Uncle looked ahead alone, nearly a hundred Salvation Army members formed a line across the street, filling it up.
The leader at the front, his rank likely above that of Group Leader Qian, with Qian standing behind him.
The leader looked at Third Uncle, who was radiating a murderous aura, and felt extremely shaken with anger. He just discovered someone targeting them, probably this very man! He's no ordinary person; in such a short time, he managed to kill so many of their people, and without making a sound, which indicated one thing: before their death, they had no ability to resist at all.
One can imagine how terrifying this man was.
The Salvation Army was somewhat quiet at this moment.
Known for terror, cold-blooded cruelty symbolized the Salvation Army; they were quiet now, especially shocked after just finding those bodies. Especially on that street, nearly 20 men were silently slaughtered.
Like a ghost, like the sickle of death, severing their throats.
These hundred-plus people, seeing Third Uncle covered in blood, felt as if they were seeing a demon, hair standing on end, shivers running down their spines.
"Who are you? Do you intend to be an enemy of the Salvation Army? Were those my men you killed just now!? Do you know the consequences of opposing the Salvation Army?" the leader shouted loudly.
In fact, he was also somewhat apprehensive, but as the third ranking officer of the Salvation Army, he needed to maintain dignity in front of others, especially since it had been several days since Xiao Mao and others hadn't returned. They hadn't transported the supplies back on time, which definitely indicated problems.
He came to solve the issues, it wouldn't make sense for him, as the current person in charge, to show cowardice now.
Third Uncle ignored him, looking at the Salvation Army before him, he wasn't panicked. He was only worried about someone escaping, which would be troublesome.
The sound of Third Uncle's gunfire just now, and the loud horn of the Salvation Army, meant that Li Yu and the others could receive the signal through the walkie-talkie, which indicated they weren't far away.
Let's just hold these people off for now.
It seemed that before Third Uncle could speak, the leader pulled out a handgun, as did Qian.
Seeing this, Third Uncle's thoughts flickered; though he wore a bulletproof vest and protective gear today, he wasn't far from these men.
Unfazed, he slightly lifted the automatic rifle in his hand.
For a moment, both sides were as tense as drawn bows.
The Salvation Army leader, having noticed the rifle in Third Uncle's hands already, now began to speculate whether Third Uncle was military personnel, and if there were other military forces?
But, hadn't the military been gone for a long time?
Hence he spoke, "Brother, we manage as we must now, after all, someone has to do the managing, right? Moreover, the Government is nowhere to be seen, so are the troops still around?"
Third Uncle glanced at this man; he knew that the man was probing, trying hard to ascertain his identity.
Suddenly, Third Uncle saw Li Yu and others faintly appearing behind the group of Salvation Army. Especially Li Yu, who popped his head out and pointed to his ear.
With a slight smile curling his lips, Third Uncle put on the earpiece.
"Third Uncle, chat with them for a bit longer, we've surrounded them, let no one escape. Three minutes will suffice," Li Yu's voice came through by his ear.
The Salvation Army personnel looked puzzled at Third Uncle, following his gaze towards the back, but saw nothing.
"Cough cough!" Third Uncle coughed dryly, catching the attention of the Salvation Army and others.
"I have a little donkey, but I never ride it; do you know why?" Third Uncle's face remained composed, as he started engaging the Salvation Army in a very serious tone.
