"Shall we fire?"

The guard standing nearby looked extremely nervous and asked in a trembling voice.

His hands were already gripping his weapon tightly, ready for battle at any moment.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Biao decisively reached out to stop him.

Zhang Biao knew that once the gunfire started, it would mean that he and the shelter were going to war.

He genuinely didn't want any conflict with the refuge.

But if the shelter continues to press its advantage, he will be forced to fight back.

At the same time, Zhang Biao was also very clear that most of the weapons in his Zhang family's team were mid-range weapons.

If you let the other party get too close, it will be too late for him to retaliate.

At that point, the powerful cannons would lose their intended purpose.

He had to make a decision before the other person got close.

Seeing the patrol team continue to approach, Zhang Biao decided to issue a warning first.

If the other side insists on starting a war with their safe zone, he will have no choice but to open fire in retaliation.

"Archers, take your positions," Zhang Biao said, gesturing with his hand.

Several guards carrying black bows quickly stepped forward.

Zhang Biao didn't even order his guards to fire warning shots, fearing that the sound of gunfire would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Shoot arrows in front of them to stop them and warn them!" Zhang Biao quickly ordered, determined not to let the enemy get any closer.

The guards drew their bows and fired a volley of black arrows in unison.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Several sharp sounds of air being cut rang out.

A volley of black arrows struck the ground not far in front of the patrol team with deadly accuracy.

"Whoa!"

The patrol captain quickly raised his hand to signal, and all the patrolmen tightened the reins, bringing the camels to a stop.

Despite the warnings about the safe zone, the patrol captain showed no fear and instead lightly jumped off the camel.

He stepped forward, squatted down, pulled out one of the black arrows, and carefully compared it with the black arrow that had killed the executor.

From the materials and the craftsmanship of making the arrows to even the markings engraved on the arrow tails, they are exactly the same.

Moreover, the direction of the arrow was exactly the same; the black arrow that killed the executive officer was indeed shot from the direction of this safe zone.

The evidence in our hands is sufficient to prove that it was people from this safe zone who shot the shelter's executive officer.

The patrol captain's eyes were as cold as ice as he glanced at the cannon beside Zhang Biao in the distance, and the guns that the Zhang family guards were holding tightly.

"How many years has it been?" the patrol captain muttered to himself.

For many years, no one has dared to attack the shelter.

The patrol captain couldn't help but reminisce about the past.

Even when he was just a greenhorn, no one dared to mess with the shelter.

This was the first time in all his years as patrol captain that he had encountered such blatant and open provocation.

The people in the safe zone are actually going to wage war against their shelter.

I really don't know who gave them the guts.

"Take one more step forward, and we'll fire!" Zhang Biao shouted hoarsely from afar, threateningly.

Although it was a threat, it was also Zhang Biao showing weakness; he didn't really want to fire.

The patrol captain, however, showed no fear. Instead, he calmly returned to the camel and resolutely gave the order:

"Charge! Catch the killer!"

The patrol team riding camels behind them charged forward without hesitation once again.

Zhang Biao's face instantly turned icy cold, and he thought to himself, "You forced me to do this."

"Fire!"

At Zhang Biao's command, all the guards opened fire simultaneously, and the cannon instantly fired a shell.

"Put-put-put!"

"boom!"

Several patrolmen were blown to pieces on the spot, and the horrific scene was shocking.

"They've rebelled!"

The patrol captain was instantly enraged, never expecting the other side to actually open fire.

He hurriedly drew his sidearm, activated his superpower, and his speed increased dramatically, propelling him to the forefront.

The patrol captain kept firing at the guards.

In an instant, the sounds of gunfire and cannons rose and fell in waves.

Li Yu and Fu Xiyao, who had just escaped, also heard the loud noise behind them.

Li Yu looked back and saw dazzling flames flashing in the direction of Zhang Biao's team.

It looks like a fierce battle is taking place there.

"Run, Xiao Hei!" Li Yu quickly patted Xiao Hei's head repeatedly.

He didn't want to get involved in this chaos.

Li Yu and Fu Xiyao clung tightly to Xiao Hei's back.

The gunfire behind us grew increasingly intense, and the raging flames illuminated half the sky.

The little black hooves seemed to fly, making it run even faster.

Although he couldn't see the specifics of the battle, Li Yu felt that the people in the shelter were definitely not incompetent.

The patrolmen in the shelter are all powerful Awakened, and most of them were selected through a talent pool. They are not people that the guards of the Black Mountain Safe Zone can easily deal with.

Little Black darted swiftly through the rain and soon reached the high ground west of the shelter.

Fu Xiyao sensed her surroundings and confirmed that no one was chasing them; it seemed that no one had discovered them yet.

Standing on the western high ground, Li Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief; he really liked this place.

The location is high up with a wide view and no obstructions, making it ideal for him to use his special abilities.

After setting up the makeshift rain shelter, Li Yu began to organize the arrows, as the increasing number of arrows made them inconvenient to carry.

Thinking of this, Li Yu finally remembered something.

He hurriedly took out the quiver he had traded with Black Rat and tried to equip it to the empty equipment slot.
