Li Yu was startled upon hearing the words. The Western Alliance!?
Again, the Western Alliance.
Just the word "alliance" gives a very powerful feeling.
Li Yu’s eyes flashed with cold light, and a boundless intent to kill burst forth from him as he asked, "Where are those people?"
Second Uncle’s face looked grim as he replied, "In Xin City."
Li Yu asked, "Do they know about our existence now?"
"I don’t know if they know about us now, but according to He Chao and that Yu Lei, they have dozens of people, and each one is armed with firearms."
Li Yu frowned and asked, "Have Yu Lei and He Chao come over."
Second Uncle greeted Li Haoran on the perimeter wall and called He Chao and Yu Lei over from the First outer city.
Li Yu looked at Yu Lei’s injured leg and stared at him, saying, "Why did they break your leg?"
Yu Lei painfully said, "Initially, we just went there to search for supplies, happened to find an auto repair shop, and were moving stuff when a few young men dressed in luxury brands burst in.
After we saw them and didn’t recognize them, we hurriedly moved the stuff, ready to leave.
However, one of the leading men stopped us and wouldn’t let us leave, claiming everything there was his.
I was furious and retorted.
As we forcefully moved the things, these people sent out a signal and a group of people in military uniforms appeared.
Seeing so many people, and many with guns, we had no choice but to comply, placed down the stuff, and were about to leave.
The most luxuriously dressed young man said he wanted to kill us.
Only to see among those in military uniforms, a leader, whom they referred to as ’Brother Jun’, didn’t heed his words.
But unexpectedly, that infuriated the young ’master’, and he angrily scolded those in military uniforms.
Later on, that young ’master’ came over directly and broke my leg with an iron rod..."
After Li Yu quietly listened, he looked at his already bandaged leg and said, "Hmm, heal well. Big Camphor Tree Base will avenge you."
Yu Lei said excitedly:
"Director Li, I appreciate your kindness, but those people seem to be military personnel, and that young master clearly has an extraordinary status.
They were inquiring about the forces on our side, but we said nothing. If you confront them now, this could stir up big trouble."
Li Yu looked at him surprised and after a moment of silence said:
"Since you’ve cooperated with Big Camphor Tree and I heard from Second Uncle that you’re close to meeting the contribution standards and becoming Extra Staff.
You are our people, and if anyone dares to bully our people, even if it is a tiger, I will slay it.
Don’t worry, just focus on healing. For the time being, your team will reside in the Second Outer City."
Seeing that he wanted to say more, Li Yu decisively said, "Just do as I say."
Then Li Haoran took him down.
Then, Li Yu saw that Luo and his team were quite exhausted from this trip.
And some were injured, having only received basic treatment yesterday.
So he said to Dapao and the others, "First take the injured to the medical room for treatment. Also, transport the medical equipment back to the base, bring everything back. Get some rest.
Oh, and Tianlong, stay behind to listen in."
After finishing, seeing that Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Uncle were still waiting on-site.
He then said to He Chao, "Everyone, let’s not talk about this in Weng City, say it in the duty room on the perimeter wall."
That duty room at the gate was the largest, spanning several dozen square meters.
Many times, Li Yu and Second Uncle held meetings there.
Entering the duty room.
Li Yu looked at He Chao and asked, "Where is Yu Lei from? When did he start cooperating with us?"
Before He Chao could reply, Second Uncle said, "I know this Yu Lei. They’re from Downwater Town, just one town away from us."
"Yes, I know his Third Uncle; I had dealings with his Third Uncle before the apocalypse."
Li Yu thought for a while and asked, "He Chao, how many people did you see there originally? And what was their composition? Explain in detail."
He Chao recalled, "We were also going there to search for materials, but we had just arrived when we saw a few vehicles.
I’m not sure if they saw us, but we saw 35 soldiers, then dressed in formal military uniforms.
Then it seemed they were collecting gasoline, on the other side, there were four or five younger men, just like Yu Lei said, these individuals were not in military uniforms but dressed pre-apocalypse style.
Seeing these men and those soldiers, there seemed to be some contradiction.
I saw one of the men cursing at a soldier, then I don’t know what happened, but that man stopped cursing.
Calculating the time, Yu Lei was probably discovered there just after we returned."
Pre-apocalypse style attire?
Isn’t that purely seeking death?
From He Chao and Yu Lei’s statements, those few young men wearing pre-apocalypse luxury clothing must have some background.
And then those in military uniforms must be soldiers.
Listening , it seems there were some contradictions between those soldiers and the young men.
