Chen Yu was both amused and exasperated by Lin Lele and Qiao Meng's betrayal of their teammates, but he didn't have time to dwell on it now.

After a moment of silence, he picked up the walkie-talkie and replied, "Okay, just take care of yourselves, leave the rest to me."

"Okay, sir, you can go now. Over."

"Mr. Chen Yu, you must be careful."

Lin Lele and Qiao Meng's voices rang out at the same time.

Chen Yu rubbed his forehead and ignored the two of them.

He contacted Lei Tao and the others again via walkie-talkie, repeating what he had said before, telling them to hold on as long as possible, and that he would come as soon as possible.

Lei Tao received Chen Yu's instructions and relayed them to the group of "militiamen." Upon hearing this, the men felt reassured and gripped their pistols tightly, using the makeshift snow trenches they had just dug as cover, ready to fire at any moment.

Soon, the other vehicle stopped not far away.

A group of uniformed men quickly jumped off the sleds, armed with assault rifles, and without a word, began scanning the three trucks.

Seeing this, Lei Tao's eyes widened in shock, and he quickly stopped the group of "militiamen" who wanted to fight back.

Are you kidding me? They're carrying assault rifles. To them, the pistols they're carrying are no different from toy guns. Charging in now would be suicide, wouldn't it?

Fortunately, the people in the truck had already been transferred, and the enemy's shooting had not caused any casualties on their side.

At this moment, all he could do was pray that Chen Yu would arrive quickly to provide reinforcements.

After the shooting, the people on the other side carefully inspected the trucks. Then a burly man jogged back to the convoy, came to a car that was completely covered by steel plates, and reported to the people inside: "Director Yu, no one's here."

"Find them, find them for me! They can't have gone far! Damn it, they actually dared to extend their reach into my territory!" the man in the car roared.

"Yes!" the burly man replied.

He then ordered his men to begin searching the snowfield.

Seeing this, Lei Tao knew that things couldn't continue like this, so he hardened his heart and said to the "militiamen" around him, "You all stay put, I'll go and negotiate with them first."

After saying that, he carefully circled around to an open area not far from the opposite side of the snow trench.

Suddenly, a beam of light shone on him.

Lei Tao quickly raised his hands and shouted, "Don't shoot! I'm a law-abiding citizen!"

Seeing this, a burly man raised his hand to stop his men and said coldly, "Tell me, where are your accomplices?"

"Accomplices? Sir, what do you mean? I don't have any accomplices!" Lei Tao pretended to be stupid.

"Bang!" A bullet struck him directly in the shoulder.

"Ah~" Lei Tao screamed, clutching his shoulder.

"I'm giving you one last chance. Tell me, where are the thugs who were with you?"

"I...I'm innocent, sir! I was just passing by..."

"Damn it, you're asking for it!" the burly man said, about to shoot Lei Tao dead.

However, at this moment, the person in the car spoke up: "Stop! Xiao Li, we are legitimate police officers serving the people. How can you act so rudely?"

Then he said to Lei Tao, "Young man, don't be afraid. We are not bad people. However, there is a group of roaming rebels causing trouble in this area, so it is not peaceful."

"Hehe, but you don't need to worry. We have wiped out several of the rebels' strongholds. I believe they will be brought to justice soon."

At this point, Director Yu said to the burly man, "Xiao Li, tell our 'lawful citizen' about our achievements in suppressing bandits."

Xiao Li seemed to understand Director Yu's deeper meaning. He revealed a mocking smile and said, "Listen carefully. Today, we have destroyed three bandit strongholds, including Dongping Town, Dehui Town, and Qianlin Town, and wiped out a total of 8,713 bandits."

Upon hearing this, Lei Tao's heart tightened, and his pupils instantly turned red. His hometown was "Qianlin Town." After the "Joint Defense Team's" rampage, there were only less than 3,000 survivors in the town. The situation in the other two towns was similar. Did the other side mean that they would slaughter all three towns?

"Huh? Young man, are you feeling unwell? You look terrible." Director Yu asked, feigning surprise.

"I'll kill you beasts!" Lei Tao could no longer suppress his anger and drew his gun to fire.

However, the other side was prepared and immediately opened fire on Lei Tao upon seeing his movements.

"Da da da~"

Fortunately, Lei Tao reacted quickly. He lay down and rolled over, landing behind a snowdrift, which gave him a brief chance to catch his breath.

At the same time, the "militia" inside the snow trenches heard the commotion and opened fire without hesitation.

A major battle is imminent.

Because most of the people on Yu Ju's side had been focused on Lei Tao, they hadn't noticed the militiamen hiding in the snow trenches behind them. Caught off guard by this sudden attack, more than 10 people were killed on the spot.

"A bunch of troublemakers, they've finally shown up! Brothers, kill them all, leave no one alive!" Director Yu roared from inside the car.

"Bang bang bang~"

"Da da da~"

Gunfire erupted from both sides across the snowy plains.

Although the militia initially had the advantage due to their first-strike advantage, the disparity in firepower between the two sides quickly became apparent.

Faced with the overwhelming firepower of the opposing side, they were so badly beaten that they dared not even show their faces. Within minutes, nearly half of the "militia" had been killed or wounded.

On the other hand, Yu Ju's side faced absolutely no pressure. Apart from the initial 13 people who were ambushed and killed, no one else was injured.

However, everyone only has one life, and they didn't dare to rush forward for the time being. In their minds, with their superior firepower, they would wipe out the enemy sooner or later, so why take the risk?

However, while they thought that way, Director Yu, sitting in the steel-plated vehicle, didn't think so. He immediately roared, "Damn it, do you think my bullets are free? A bunch of useless trash, even with such excellent weapons, you still cower like turtles. Hurry up and rush over to wipe them out!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked bitter, but they had no choice but to grit their teeth and approach the "militia" step by step.

Just then, a flash of fire suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

Yu Ju's men looked up, their faces filled with horror.
