For a moment, they didn't know what to do with these remaining members of the "joint defense team".

They were like that, and so were the militia.

After all, "not killing surrendered soldiers" has been a tradition of righteous armies in the Great Xia Dynasty since ancient times. If they still kill the surrendered soldiers on the spot, it would be too unethical.

"Old Lei, what should we do with these people?" a militia captain asked Lei Tao.

Lei Tao pondered for a moment and said, "Let's take them under control first and make a decision when the commander arrives."

Just then, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out.

Hearing the sound, everyone looked up at the sky and saw a rotary-wing drone.

"What's going on? Why aren't the remaining bandits being killed?" Chen Yu's voice came through the loudspeaker on the drone.

"Commander, they have surrendered. We are wondering if we should have you come and judge them before imposing any punishment?" Lei Tao shouted loudly at the drone.

"Trial? What did those people they killed do wrong? Did these bandits ever give them even the slightest chance? You must remember, repaying injustice with justice is a traditional virtue of our Great Xia!" Chen Yu said in a deep voice.

"Commander, what do you mean...?" Lei Tao asked tentatively.

"Execute them on the spot, leave no one alive," Chen Yu said calmly.

"Yes, sir!" the militiamen replied.

He then pulled out his sidearm and aimed it at the heads of the "joint defense team members" on the snow.

Bang bang bang...

Next, the "militiamen" carefully checked all the "joint defense team members" who had fallen to the ground, and those who were not quite dead were immediately shot.

After confirming that all the "joint defense team members" were dead, they put their guns away.

In fact, when the opponent has lost the ability to resist, they can use a knife or other "environmentally friendly" weapons to deal with them. After all, the current situation is so dire that bullets are becoming increasingly scarce.

However, Chen Yu had specifically instructed them that they were a righteous army and civilized people, and that they should not use such primitive and bloody methods to kill the enemy unless absolutely necessary.

The reason Chen Yu gave them such a seemingly unreasonable order was actually to try to prevent his men from suffering post-traumatic stress disorder or from developing a change in mentality through constant killing, turning them into bloodthirsty killers.

After all, even professionally trained soldiers might not be able to cope psychologically after killing too many people, let alone ordinary civilians.

In fact, his initial idea was simply to use these "militiamen" to do things for him temporarily.

Even though he's a temporary worker, he can't shirk his responsibilities, can he? He's not a heartless capitalist.

As for wasting bullets?

If he's afraid of wasting bullets, then they'll always be short of bullets.

The only way to solve the problem is to find a way to open-source resources and obtain a continuous supply of bullets.
