Lu Fan looked again carefully and found that none of the Lu family members were missing. It seemed that these soldiers were quite thoughtful.

He ignored their cries for mercy and was instead quite pleased with the soldiers' self-determination:

"That saves a lot of trouble. Just take all these people to prison and lock them up. If any of them dare to escape, you'll have to take their place."

"Yes, sir." The soldiers immediately escorted the Lu family members to Qingcheng Prison.

Lu Fan then looked at the team leader in front of him, who was wearing a logistics uniform.

"Logistics team leader, go arrange accommodations for these people. Li Yu, you and I will go to the equipment depot."

"Yes!" The team leader saluted. He hadn't expected to see everyone again. He hurriedly accepted the order and led Ma Yuanbai and the group of refugees away from the square.

Li Yu gave Fu Xiyao a reassuring look, and Fu Xiyao nodded, then took Xiao Hei's hand and followed the others away.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh." Lu Fan smiled and turned around, only to be surprised to find Wang Tianzhao still behind him.

"Why are you still here? Weren't you going to refuse to help?"

"Who said I wouldn't help? I'm just seeing what tempting offers you can make," Wang Tianzhao explained to himself.

Lu Fan was somewhat speechless, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned to Li Yu and said:

"Let's go to the armory first and upgrade our equipment."

"Okay." Li Yu nodded.

"Lieutenant," Lu Fan raised his voice, his eyes searching among the surrounding soldiers for the person in charge.

"Here!" The adjutant quickly stepped forward.

"Take us to the equipment depot," Lu Fan ordered.

"Yes, sir." The adjutant immediately saluted, then quickly turned and led the way toward the armory.

The small equipment depot is located underground in Qingcheng, with its entrance in a hidden place, the exact location of which only a few people know.

When Lu Fan and his group arrived, the person in charge and the soldiers in the equipment depot had already opened the door.

They were all standing neatly at the door, waiting; they clearly already knew about the change of control in Qingcheng.

"Welcome, City Lord!" the official and soldiers shouted in unison.

"Back to your post," Lu Fan said.

"Yes." Seeing that Lu Fan's purpose was not to come for them, the people returned to the equipment depot with peace of mind.

After passing through the heavy blast door, the group continued walking inside.

"This is a small shelter that has been converted. It is very sturdy and can withstand external disasters and attacks."

The adjutant gave a detailed introduction as they descended the stairs and entered the equipment depot.

The huge circular corridor leads in all directions, and the lights are exceptionally bright once you enter.

"That's the equipment area, the weapons area is over here, and the protective equipment area is on the left. The supplies area is at the end of the passage behind," the adjutant explained continuously.

“This won’t do. Not only is the place too small, but it doesn’t even have the reserves of a proper shelter.” Wang Tianzhao shook his head repeatedly, his face full of disdain.

Lu Fan pretended not to hear and quickly led Li Yu towards the equipment area.

The adjutant immediately opened the door to the equipment area, and the group went inside.

Li Yu looked up and saw rows of neatly arranged shelves inside, displaying various clothing and equipment.

Li Yu's eyes lit up when she saw these things.

"Get him a set that fits his build." Lu Fan pointed at Li Yu.

The adjutant glanced at Li Yu's figure, then immediately went to the shelf and quickly picked up the items one by one.

He quickly assembled a complete set of equipment that fit perfectly.

"Change into them now." Lu Fan frowned as he looked at the tattered clothes Li Yu was wearing.

This appearance is extremely deceptive and doesn't match Li Yu's actual strength at all.

Li Yu took the equipment: a pair of rainproof military boots, a tactical uniform, and a bulletproof vest.

He took out his belongings, casually tore off his worn-out clothes, and threw them aside.

Then he quickly changed into brand-new tactical uniforms and put on rainproof military boots, which fit him perfectly.

Then Li Yu couldn't wait to put on the bulletproof vest.

[Equipment Successfully]

[Bulletproof Vest LV1: Made of multiple layers of protective materials, it can absorb the kinetic energy of bullets or shrapnel, and can withstand most bullets and explosive fragments, providing significant protection.]

Defense +10, Damage Reduction 10%

"It really is protective gear!"

Before Li Yu could even feel happy, his gaze quickly fell upon the row of helmets in front of him.

"Can I have this?" Li Yu asked, pointing to the helmet.

Upon seeing this, the adjutant quickly picked up a helmet and handed it over.

Li Yu excitedly and quickly put the helmet on her head.

Lu Fan and Wang Tianzhao exchanged a glance, somewhat puzzled. Did Li Yu really need a bulletproof helmet given his shooting range? Even a gun couldn't shoot that far.

[Equipment Successfully]

[LV1 Bulletproof Helmet: Made of high-polymer materials and equipped with a fiberglass visor, it can absorb and dissipate the energy of bullets, effectively protecting the head.]

[Mental Defense +10, Mental Strength +10]

"Good stuff!" Li Yu lifted the visor on his helmet, seemingly not intending to take it off.

"Could you give me another set of clothes for a woman? She's about this tall," Li Yu gestured to her adjutant.

The adjutant looked at Lu Fan, who then nodded.

Seeing this, the adjutant went to the back and found a smaller set of tactical uniform and bulletproof vest.

"A helmet too?" the adjutant asked Li Yu.

"Yes," Li Yu replied.

The adjutant handed over the entire set of equipment again.

Li Yu took the equipment from the adjutant, packed it all up, and was finally satisfied.

Lu Fan suddenly gave an order to his adjutant:

“Send someone to fetch three thousand sets of camouflage uniforms and rubber boots and deliver them to those refugees.”

While it's impossible to send out that much equipment, sending out some camouflage uniforms is still feasible.

When Li Yu heard that Lu Fan was going to give clothes to the refugees, he did not refuse, since none of the people in his alliance had a decent piece of clothing.

Meanwhile, the adjutant outside quickly led the refugees to another huge makeshift shelter.

Unlike the previous one, this makeshift hospital was filled with beds, each separated by partitions, providing a little bit of privacy.

The soft blankets spread out on the bed, making you want to lie down.

Upon seeing the bed, the refugees' eyes widened, but they restrained their impulses and no one acted on their own. They all looked at Ma Yuanbai, waiting for his instructions.

Seeing the crowd's reaction, Ma Yuanbai felt a sense of relief; these refugees had finally learned to obey orders.

Every day when they received the algae sticks, Ma Yuanbai would constantly brainwash and train them.

Under the arrangement of Zhao Xiong, Sun Hao, and the others, the refugees rushed forward eagerly, having never slept in a bed before.

Inside the equipment depot.

Li Yu and his group had already entered the weapons area.

There was only one type of rifle inside, neatly arranged in rows.

There were also some daggers and iron bars on a shelf to the side.

“Young Master Lu Fan, this is just the nearest small equipment depot. These are all the weapons we have. Other heavy weapons are not stored here,” the adjutant explained softly from the side.
