Listening to his subordinates, they all talked about going up to handle those people.
The boss with the hat cursed, "Damn, didn't you see those people have guns?"
The first one who spoke also chimed in, "We have guns too, and our supplies are running low. If we don't get some more soon, we won't last much longer."
"Being able to see through a bait and unhesitatingly shoot to kill, do you think these folks are simple targets? Supplies, supplies, one must live to get them! Idiots!"
Then, he watched the slowly departing vehicles and told everyone, "Get in the cars, follow behind, keep a good distance and don't alert them."
A flash of ferocity crossed his eyes as he said:
"As for supplies, they will be ours eventually! Know the enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated. Let's first figure out who they are."
Seeing Li Yu and his crew's vehicles had left, he emerged from around the corner and got into a vehicle.
He shouted to those behind, "What are you waiting for? Get in the car and follow them. Can't you understand? Or are you disobeying my orders?"
The crowd recalled the fate of a comrade who had not followed orders and shuddered.
Then they got into their cars.
The vehicles started, following far behind Li Yu and his crew.
After Li Yu and his crew had left, the vehicle that had been at the very back was now at the front.
Yang Tianlong asked, "Xiao Yu, what just happened? I just heard two gunshots; where are we heading now?"
Li Yu stared straight into the rearview mirror and said:
"I suspect there's an ambush ahead; keep driving straight for now. Don't ask where to. Just move forward. The other vehicles should follow. I'll keep observing."
Yang Tianlong, hearing about the potential ambush ahead, said no more and followed Li Yu's direction to continue straight.
Li Yu looked into the rearview mirror and said to everyone in the car, "Everyone keep watch, see if there are any vehicles following us from behind."
The vehicles traveled some distance, but still, no pursuers were seen.
A few hundred meters away from them, a group of people followed behind.
But cleverly, they weren't directly following the same road.
Instead, they took a different road, perfectly avoiding Li Yu and his team's line of sight.
"Heh heh, boss, you really are something. They definitely wouldn't expect that we aren't directly following them but taking another road," said a skinny subordinate.
His face was sallow, with sunken eye sockets and dark skin.
The boss with the hat, hearing the flattery, looked quite smug. When it came to intelligence, he had always been proud.
"Follow my lead and learn well."
In the car, Luo and the others looked for a long time, but didn't see any vehicles following them.
Even Dapao, who had particularly good eyesight, looked for a long time and saw no movement.
So, with some doubt, he asked, "Brother Yu, are we overthinking this?"
Li Yu had no such doubts.
He had seen the expression on that woman's face, had heard her say thank you.
There was definitely an ambush over there.
But, could it be that his two shots had scared off the ambushers, making them afraid to follow?
For a moment, Li Yu also doubted whether or not there were vehicles trailing them.
Right now, going to the hospital to move equipment and finding a safe refuge were the most important things.
But the nagging sense of danger in his heart made him very uncomfortable.
He did not fear an enemy in plain sight; it was the hidden enemies that concerned him.
If those people suddenly appeared and attacked them while they were moving the equipment, it would be troublesome.
"Could there really be no one following?" Li Yu murmured.
However, that area was close to the First People's Hospital and the Sixth People's Hospital, where the necessary equipment was.
If they went back now, it would be too close to the previous location and very likely they would encounter those people.
Now the enemy was unseen and they were exposed, a disadvantaged position.
So he turned to Dapao and said, "Take another look, is there any other hospital listed by Meng Yu where we could get those supplies?"
Dapao looked for a while and then said, "Brother Yu, there are some, but they are not fully equipped; we might have to run around several hospitals to gather everything.
The First People's Hospital and the Sixth People's Hospital are adjacent and have the most complete equipment.
If we don't go to this place, I estimate we would need to spend a lot more time. Probably an extra two days."
Li Yu fell silent for a while.
He didn't want to take too many risks, as every life at the base was valuable. Unless necessary, he did not want to clash with others.
But the route to get the equipment was going to take an extra two days.
In this densely populated city full of zombies, waiting two extra days undeniably increased the risk exponentially.
Li Yu was torn about returning, but the location of the enemy was unknown.
Li Yu noticed the roads on both sides.
There was a large shopping mall covered in glass.
Through the reflection, another road was mirrored.
In a fleeting moment, Li Yu saw several moving vehicles.
Thinking it was an illusion, Li Yu's vehicle then passed another tall building.
Li Yu clearly saw on the glass of the high rise another road with several vehicles in motion.
"Finally, I've found you!" Li Yu's mouth curled into a smile.
He felt a sense of relief deep inside.
