Noon sun, blazing brightly.
Third Uncle and others left through the back door of the base and took a detour directly towards the front entrance.
They were well-equipped, holding rifles and submachine guns.
"Li Yu, we've already come out, and we're now heading towards the front," Third Uncle said to Li Yu via walkie-talkie.
Li Yu glanced at He Chao and others walking towards the gate and then whispered,
"Okay, be careful. I've just instructed He Chao and the others to let those strangers into Weng City after they go out.
When the time comes, go check the wooded area to see if there is anyone there. If there are people, capture them directly."
Third Uncle replied calmly, "Okay, rest assured. We'll get there in three minutes."
After He Chao left the base of Weng City, he restrained the joy on his face, looked towards the woods, and slowly drove in that direction.
Upon seeing He Chao and the others coming out, Captain Tao and his men hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How was it, all went smoothly? How many people were inside, did they ask you anything?"
He Chao gave Captain Tao a meaningful look and said, "You'll see if you go in."
With that, he didn't mention anything else and drove away.
After waiting for He Chao and others to leave, Captain Tao looked at the wall in front of him thoughtfully.
He was confident that he hadn't exposed any issues, but he was still worried—what if he couldn't get out once he went in?
As he was pondering, Mr. Wang suddenly said from behind,
"When you guys go in, I won't go. If they see me, it might ruin your plans."
Captain Tao turned around and looked at him sternly,
"You didn't mention they had built such a high wall here. Haven't you been telling the truth?"
Mr. Wang was startled and quickly said, "Everything I said was true; look, I told you they had a lot of food, and you saw they have enough to exchange goods with others."
Captain Tao was half-convinced and then spoke to Hua Chuanxiong and others in the following vehicle,
"We'll go in together later. If it looks like they don't allow many people in, just the four of us will enter; you, me, Old Sun, and leave Old Zhou behind. Let's the four of us go in and see."
Hua Chuanxiong nodded and said, "Okay, everyone else stays here to keep an eye on Mr. Wang and the captive we brought."
Captain Tao thought for a moment and then added, "Let's not bring guns, out of bullets anyway. It wouldn't be good if they saw them and we had to explain."
Without any objections from the others, they drove slowly towards the surrounding wall.
After capturing someone from Jiefang City yesterday and learning that Big Camphor Tree Base could exchange materials,
They collected around the area for half a day, finding a daily goods factory and obtaining about twenty boxes of bathing supplies such as soap and shampoo.
Three vehicles, four people slowly approached the base.
They had just emerged from the woods and were noticed by Li Yu and his men.
Second Uncle and Li Yu exchanged glances.
Second Uncle, standing on the wall with a megaphone, shouted, "Who are you?"
Hearing Second Uncle, Captain Tao quickly rolled down his window and shouted, "Hello, we are here to exchange materials."
Second Uncle continued to inquire, "How come I haven't seen you before?"
Captain Tao, with a ready answer, replied, "We are from the neighboring County, and we heard that food could be exchanged here, so we came over. Can we really exchange here?"
Second Uncle did not respond immediately.
Meanwhile, Li Yu heard from Third Uncle from the side, "Found 12 people in the woods, no, 14 people, and two of them are tied up. Something seems off."
Li Yu thought for a second and said, "See if there is anyone you recognize?"
Third Uncle took out his telescope, carefully observing each person, and said, "No, but those two in the car who are tied up, their faces are obscured."
Li Yu replied, "Okay, after we let them in, you start your move and capture all of them."
Captain Tao and others waited under the wall for nearly two minutes, but still did not receive any response, and were wondering if something had gone wrong.
Second Uncle said to Captain Tao and the others below the wall, "Sorry, you need to hand over your weapons at the entrance. After all, we haven't met before. Hope you can understand."
Captain Tao was cursing inside. Just a moment ago, he thought there were some issues exposed, but fortunately.
So he pleasingly said, "No problem, we understand."
The vehicles slowly entered the gate.
After entering the gate, they realized that it was empty inside. Tens of meters away from them, there was another door, and what was behind it was not visible.
Once all three of their vehicles had entered Weng City, Li Yu took out a walkie-talkie and said to Third Uncle, "Everyone is in, you can take action now."
"Received," Third Uncle replied.
The gate slowly closed, and the final thud of the door shutting gave Captain Tao and others a sense of foreboding.
Seven or eight people slowly descended from the wall, each holding firearms.
And on top of the wall, another six or seven people appeared, all holding rifles.
Seeing this scene, Captain Tao's pupils slightly constricted.
He had not seen so many people on the wall just now, and they had no firearms either.
Suddenly, he had a bad feeling.
What Mr. Wang had said about this group having only a few handguns was completely deceptive.
He even saw someone holding an 85 sniper rifle, was this a joke?
Once he got out, he would definitely settle the score with this old Wang. Too deceitful.
Watching as they were slowly surrounded, Captain Tao was scared to death inside, but on the surface, he smiled and said, "We are here to make an exchange.
We brought over twenty boxes of daily bathing supplies, not sure how much grain we can exchange here?"
Li Yu, holding a gun and subtly pointing it at Captain Tao and the others, said, "Alright, get off the vehicle first, we'll move the goods, weigh them, and then settle up with you."
Being pointed at by firearms, Captain Tao cursed Mr. Wang eight hundred times in his heart, all those dark muzzles pointing at him, it was terrifying.
So, he slowly got off the vehicle, the four of them lined up.
Standing in front of the car.
Just then, gunfire suddenly came from outside the wall.
Upon hearing the gunfire, Captain Tao and others felt a sense of dread.
So they looked towards Li Yu and his group, becoming more vigilant.
Shifting their bodies, they slowly moved back towards the vehicle.
A gunshot rang out, hitting a leg, and he fell to the ground.
Li Yu smiled and said, "Good boy, don't move."
After he finished speaking, Li Yu's earpiece transmitted Third Uncle's voice:
"There's a big problem. Among the two people tied up inside, one is Mr. Wang who had escaped from Harmony Garden before, and the other is a person who escaped from Jiefang City."
Hearing this, Li Yu looked at Captain Tao and his group with an even brighter smile.
