NOVEL WEB Chapter 425: Li Yu's Decision!
...
Five kilometers away from Luo Tianyan, a long convoy was zigzagging around.
In Xin City, there are many mountains and forests, but within the city, surrounding the rivers, there are some plains.
And behind Rock Mountain, the mountains are not high, so.
Five kilometers away from Rock Mountain, Black Snake and his group, who had just come from the prison and rushed to this vicinity.
After a loud noise just now, they heard it too.
Upon hearing the explosion, Black Snake quickly asked those around him, "Where did that sound come from? Did you all hear it?"
The people around all looked in the direction of Luo Tianyan.
It was really too loud.
A man with a shrill voice raised his tone and said, "Boss, it seems to be over there."
Black Snake looked in that direction and beckoned everyone, "Little wolves, let's go check it out over there."
The people hurriedly got into their vehicles, with some who had just gotten out to pee shaking off and running to the vehicles.
They knew their boss's temper, which was very bad.
With the boss in such an agitated mood now, if anyone slacked off, they could very well lose their lives.
After the prison group got into their vehicles, they started them up and headed in that direction.
...
Dozens of kilometers away from Xin City.
Big Camphor Tree Base.
Outer City.
Li Yu and Second Uncle, Yang Tianlong, and others were looking at He Chao with a serious expression.
Li Yu's face was stern, having just received word today that a troop had arrived in Xin City, looking like they were soldiers.
Li Yu was considering taking a look when He Chao and the others came running over, informing him that there was another group.
35 vehicles had come from National Highway 318, some of the people wearing prison uniforms.
They had guns!
Both groups had guns!
Li Yu frowned and suddenly remembered that a few days ago, after entering the base, they dug up the enemy of their aunt, Old Wang.
Old Wang had said that the prison was in the north.
His mind stirring, Li Yu asked, "That group, did anyone see a one-eyed man with a tattoo on his throat, a tattoo of a black snake on his bald head?"
He Chao quickly nodded and said, "Shunzi said he saw someone like that; he even made a point of mentioning it to me."
Li Yu exchanged glances with Second Uncle and the others nearby, not expecting to encounter them here.
This man was the murderer of their uncle, extracted through intense interrogation from Old Wang's mouth.
Li Yu had been planning to make a distant expedition to find the people of that prison; he hadn't expected them to come to him instead.
However, why would two groups come suddenly? There must be something fishy going on.
After thinking, Li Yu said to Second Uncle, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. It was okay for that well-equipped squad to come, but now the prison group from the north,
if it's definitely them, they must have trekked hundreds of kilometers to get here. To expend such effort, they must be plotting something.
Although we don't know everything yet, we must go out and strike."
Second Uncle, frowning, said, "It's just that they have quite a few people; we need to be cautious."
Li Yu nodded and said, "Of course."
Suddenly, he looked at He Chao and asked, "Do we have people following them now?"
Li Yu was not afraid of their numbers but worried they might escape.
He Chao quickly said, "There are people following them, and we have a way to contact them. They will make marks for us."
Li Yu looked at He Chao with satisfaction, as his work had become increasingly meticulous and well-considered.
Given the current situation, finding them was imperative, and it was better to know about them sooner.
Having confirmed the enemy's presence and being in a situation where we were hidden and they were exposed gave us an advantage.
First, we needed to understand what exactly these people were up to, then we could adapt to the situation accordingly.
Li Yu also considered the authenticity of what He Chao said.
First, He Chao's only relative was inside the base's Inner City, and the privileges Li Yu offered him were probably the best he could enjoy at the moment.
He had sufficient respect and a certain level of authority, allowing him to command some people outside the base. He had no motive to deceive Li Yu.
Second, He Chao was a man who valued relationships. If his previous behavior had been an act, then his acting skills were incredibly convincing.
Thinking this, Li Yu said to Second Uncle, "The situation is urgent; we must act quickly. If they escape, it will be very troublesome to locate them again."
Second Uncle hesitated, fully aware of how good this opportunity was, yet he remained concerned.
After thinking it over, he said, "We can go, but we should still leave some people at the base.
Sigh, but with fewer people going, I worry about your safety. It's difficult to decide how to allocate our manpower."
Li Yu turned to Second Uncle and said, "We shouldn't have too many people. So, Third Uncle, Old Lü, Old Xie, and your team members,
as well as Li Gang, Dapao, Yang Tianlong, Song Min, the twenty-eight of us.
Leave over a hundred people inside the Inner City. The Outer City...
Hmm..."
Li Yu paused, then suddenly looked at He Chao and said, "He Chao, you take about ten people, and the remaining twenty or so stay in the Outer City."
Li Yu continued, "Nearly forty people, that should be enough. Let's first go have a look at the situation.
Also, He Chao, those collaborators who have reached Level One, have them monitor the situation at any time.
Well, never mind, tell them to gather. This is also an opportunity for them to earn points, have them assemble. I have plans."
He Chao nodded in acknowledgment.
After the order was given, everyone began to prepare.
The base's efficiency was evident: once a final decision was made, even Second Uncle wouldn't hesitate and simply proceeded with the actions as decided.
If one always considers every aspect, it could lead to missed opportunities and result in accomplishing nothing.
Dapao and Yang Tianlong, among others, followed Third Uncle to the underground arsenal to collect guns and equipment.
Although there were fixed firearms on the perimeter walls, this time they needed to be fully prepared.
Thirty-five vehicles. This number weighed heavily on Li Yu's mind.
Even if each vehicle only carried three people, that added up to a hundred and five people.
A hundred-plus convicts in prison uniforms were a tough issue to tackle.
At the moment, Li Yu's greatest advantage was the high-quality equipment, abundant ammunition and firepower, as well as weapons like the rocket launcher.
Besides, with people like Old Lü, who came from the Armed Police, and veterans like Dapao, along with Third Uncle, known as the King of Soldiers, they had formidable combat strength.
Now knowing that the prisoners too had guns, based on what Shunzi reported, they spotted over twenty guns.
It was a cause for vigilance!
Li Yu thought for a moment, then instructed everyone to gear up with bullet-proof vests, anti-explosion suits, and bullet-proof helmets.
He turned and looked at He Chao and his team, telling them to also take their equipment.
Since returning from Safe City, Li Yu had gradually provided He Chao and his team with some firepower equipment.
Later, they were trained to shoot, and now the personnel patrolling along National Highway 319 were all capable of using firearms and were armed at all times.
