At this moment, Ye Cheng and his team had stopped ten meters away from us, using their vehicles to block our firepower as well.

For a moment, we were at a stalemate.

"I didn't bring much ammunition when I came out, this is all I have." Su Mu pulled a pistol from his back waist and handed it to me.

After I took the weapons, I glanced at the weapons in the hands of the three men; without exception, they were all pistols. I sighed, expressing my helplessness. I figured they must not have expected this to happen, so they weren't fully prepared.

Du Xu looked at me and asked, "Why did you come here?"

I said, "After you left, I went to find Ye Cheng and found out that the three people he arrested earlier were just a decoy to lure you out. I wanted to catch up with you to warn you not to go back to Jiajiang, but I was too late, and they still caught up with me."

Zhong Jianzhou asked, "What do we do now?"

Su Mu gritted his teeth and roared, "What else can we do but fight them!"

I quickly stopped him and looked up at Ye Cheng and the others across the street. I found that they were standing still and seemed very wary.

That's true. They don't know our firepower situation here, so they certainly wouldn't dare to act rashly.

But dragging this out isn't a solution. If we wait too long and they realize we're not resisting, they'll definitely try to surround us, and then we won't have a chance to survive.

I said, "Don't rush, let's try to negotiate with them! If we try to force them, we have no chance of winning."

Su Mu stared at me. "How can we negotiate under these circumstances?"

I said, "Say it like this, just like I said..."

After hearing this, Su Mu didn't care whether it would work or not and shouted, "Hey, Ye Cheng over there! What do you mean by this? Why did you suddenly attack us like this? We don't think we have any grudge against you!"

Upon hearing Su Mu's shout, Ye Cheng said, "Alright, stop pretending. I know you're from Jiajiang. If you don't want to die, surrender and come back with us. Maybe then you'll have a chance to live. If you insist on resisting, you'll only face death!"

Upon hearing this, Su Mu frowned and looked at me, saying, "We're doomed. This bastard knows who we are. What do we do now?"

Du Xu asked in surprise, "But that doesn't make sense. How did he know who we are?"

I said, "Now is not the time to dwell on this. Let's think about how to get out of this situation!"

Zhong Jianzhou said with a wry smile, "I feel like we can't leave."

I didn't know what to say. My face was serious as I stared at Ye Cheng across from me. It seemed he didn't know I was there.

Immediately afterwards, I said a few words to Su Mu.

Su Mu shouted again, "Can we talk this over? Since you know who we are, can you spare our lives? As for the terms of the trade, that's easy to discuss. Just tell me what you want!"

Ye Cheng said, "Alright, you want to make a deal, right? Okay, then tell me first, what is the purpose of your visit to Central Town?"

Su Mu said, "We didn't mean anything by it. We just heard from the raiders that there's a place called Central Town, which seems to have a lot of good stuff, so we decided to come and take a look. We didn't mean anything by it."

Ye Cheng said, "I don't believe it. I'll give you one more chance. If you don't tell the truth, you're as good as dead!"

I looked at Su Mu and asked, "What exactly are you planning to do in Central Town?"

Su Mu said, "I really didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to come and take a look."

I rolled my eyes.

Su Mu hurriedly shouted, "No, no, no, I'm telling the truth, I really didn't mean anything by it, let's go to the central town..."

Before he could finish speaking, gunfire erupted from Ye Cheng and his men.

"Holy shit!" Su Mu cursed.

I'm also helpless. We're basically in a dead end now. If we don't fight back, we'll definitely be the ones who die.

Du Xu then said, "I checked, and they still have ten people in total. The four of us are going to fight ten of them, and ten of them have better firepower than us. We have absolutely no chance of winning."

Zhong Jianzhou said, "Why don't we surrender? Maybe we can still survive?"

I said, "We won't survive. I know Ye Cheng very well. Once he catches us, he definitely won't let us live."

Su Mu seemed a little irritated, "At worst, I'll fight them to the death!"

I said, "They can risk their lives, but we can't just go looking for death."

As I was saying this, I glanced under the car and was immediately stunned. Then I lay down, tilted my head, and saw the feet of Ye Cheng and the other ten men.

I said, "Everyone lie down. See their feet? Shoot them straight at their feet. I don't believe we can't kill them!"

Su Mu and Du Xu climbed down, while Zhong Jianzhou, having no space, stood behind us to keep an eye on Ye Cheng and the others.

At that moment, gunshots rang out from Ye Cheng and his men.

The moment they fired, the three of us immediately opened fire.

After the gunshots rang out, screams and groans came from the people around Ye Cheng, and they all fell to the ground. We followed suit, and whenever we saw someone fall to the ground, we would shoot them in the head.

In the ensuing chaos of gunfire, five people from Ye Cheng's side died instantly.

As for the other five people, including Ye Cheng himself, they hid back in their car. At the same time, Ye Cheng seemed to have learned his lesson and simply stuck his gun under the car and fired wildly at us.

Du Xu screamed in agony, and I saw that his arm had been pierced by a bullet.

I quickly tore a strip of cloth from my own clothes and used it to bandage his wound to stop the bleeding.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

Du Xu gritted his teeth and said, "I won't die."

I said, "This can't go on, we..."

I was only halfway through my sentence when Su Mu ran right past us.

"Hey, Su Mu, what are you doing!"

"Cover me!" Su Mu told us.

Then I saw Su Mu run towards the dead bodies in the middle of the road, and at the same time fire a few shots at Ye Cheng, who was trying to pop his head out.

"Cover him!" I said, and quickly opened fire on Ye Cheng and his group.

Ye Cheng and his men were instantly suppressed by our firepower.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Mu picked up a number of guns from the ground, then backed away, firing as he went.

When he returned, he said with a smile, "We have guns now!"

I was speechless. His reckless actions could have easily killed him, but at least there was no danger and no guns like these days.

With a gun, we can finally fight Ye Cheng and his gang. Hopefully, it will go smoothly. If we can kill Ye Cheng directly, things should be much simpler afterward.

However, just as we were wondering, a gunshot suddenly rang out from behind me, in the bushes by the roadside.

Bang!

The gunshot was loud, and the bullet came flying in an instant.

While Zhong Jianzhou, who was standing next to me, was still in a daze, a bullet pierced through his chest...
