"Brother Wang, watch out!"
With a warning, just as Li Shu was about to pull the trigger, a bullet, seemingly from nowhere, pierced through his arm.
Li Shu screamed and clutched his injured wrist, dropping the pistol that was in his hand.
The man who was leaving was startled by the noise and turned around. He saw Li Shu convulsing and groaning in pain, and then he saw the pistol lying on the ground. What else could he not understand?
The others also saw Li Shu's ruthlessness, and indignantly went up and each kicked Li Shu.
"Damn it, you still resort to dirty tricks after I'm not working with you anymore? You bastard, you're a real piece of work!"
"Exactly! You want us to kill people? Why don't you just die yourself!"
"Brother Wang, let's go together and just leave this bastard here."
The group left together, taking Li Shu's pistol with them, leaving Li Shu grimacing in pain.
A strange noise came from behind. Before Li Shu could even see what was behind him, he was hit and passed out.
Shi Yuan dragged Li Shu along, and Li Shu's body rubbed against the ground all the way. When Shi Lin saw that Li Shu was about to wake up from the pain, he would hit him again.
Only after dragging Li Shu to the edge of the cliff did Shi Yuan tie him up and leave him to the side, holding the rope that was controlling Li Shu in one hand.
This time, with few people around, Li Shu woke up in about ten minutes. Before he even opened his eyes and saw anyone, he started cursing.
"Damn it! That hurts like hell! That bastard ambushed me! He smashed my skull open!"
As soon as Li Shu opened his eyes, he saw the people he had just tricked standing opposite him by the light of his headlamp, while he himself was tightly bound.
"Gentlemen, let's talk this out. Why are you tying me up? There must be some misunderstanding."
Li Shu writhed a few times before giving up the struggle, and smiled obsequiously at the people in front of him.
"Misunderstand?"
Jiang Li scoffed at the man who was still being stubborn.
Li Shu immediately endured the pain all over his body and surged forward a bit.
"What you've heard are all my boss's ideas. You think I, as his henchman, can only do what he's told?"
Fu Xiaxia took out a piece of beef jerky from her bag, stuffed it into her mouth and ate it with relish. Seeing the man's longing eyes and the way he kept swallowing his saliva, she smiled with satisfaction at him.
"Tell me about your boss. If you do well, I'll reward you with a bag of pork jerky."
After Fu Xiaxia finished speaking, she took out an open packet of pork jerky from her bag and waved it at Li Shu.
Li Shu stared intently at the pork jerky, drool dripping down his face.
"I'll talk to you, but could you let me try a little first?"
Fu Xiaxia's expression turned cold, and she stuffed the packaging bag back into her bag.
Seeing this, Li Shu pretended to be troubled and looked at Gu Jin and the others.
"It's not that I don't want to talk, I'm just too hungry. Maybe once I've eaten, I'll have the strength to speak."
Jiang Li pulled out a pistol and aimed it at Li Shu's head.
"Stop talking nonsense. You have no right to negotiate. Speak if you can, otherwise die."
Li Shu glared at Jiang Li with hatred, wanting to be stubborn but afraid of dying, so he could only swallow back his saliva with a face full of resentment.
"We're just a small base, maybe not even a base. Our boss occupies a large factory building, and we, a few hundred people, are crammed into it."
Normally, we rely on finding supplies outside to exchange for food and drink at the base. Recently, due to the polar night, we haven't been able to find supplies for a long time, so we thought we'd chop some firewood to exchange for supplies at the base.
After saying this, Li Shu looked at Jiang Li with a face full of longing.
"Can I have a taste now?"
Jiang Li just stared at Li Shu without saying a word, and didn't put the pistol away.
Li Shu could only continue speaking with resentment, until he had nothing more to say before he continued to look pitifully at the jerky in Fu Xiaxia's hand.
Jiang Li, Gu Jin, and the others had a general understanding of the situation, so they naturally wouldn't "make things difficult" for Li Shu.
With a "bang," the bullet struck Li Shu squarely in the center of his forehead, leaving him with his eyes wide open in death, unable to close them in peace.
After confirming that Li Shu was completely dead, Gu Jin kicked him off the cliff before the others turned and left, preparing to meet their boss under the cover of night.
At this moment, the men who had just escaped back to their camp dared not openly walk in, fearing that their boss would discover they had secretly returned and give them a beating.
They all tiptoed to a secluded corner to hide, and only managed to relax a little when intense drowsiness overcame them, half-asleep and ready to rest.
Sun Yingcheng, who was the leader the others had just mentioned, waited and waited in the dimly lit tent for Li Shu to return, but he didn't see him. Frustrated, he threw out several dirty pillows.
"Idiot! You can't even handle one thing properly! You brought so many people and so many lights, and you still haven't come back!"
After venting his anger, Sun Yingcheng sheepishly ran over, picked up the pillow, carefully dusted it off, and put it back in its original place.
Sun Yingcheng's patience had completely worn off by waiting for Li Shu and others. He carefully extinguished the candle, which was no longer than a finger, and crawled into a thin, dirty blanket whose original color was no longer recognizable. He then fell fast asleep, using the pillow he had just thrown away as his head.
Jiang Li and Gu Jin, along with the others, had already put on their night vision goggles and were waiting there. Because they had previously observed from the shadows, they knew which tent the so-called leader Li Shu had mentioned was in.
After the faint light coming from outside the tent disappeared, the group tiptoed to the front of the tent.
Gu Jin slipped inside and used a stun gun to knock out the snoring Sun Yingcheng. She tied him up tightly and stuffed his own stinky socks into his mouth.
Then, carrying the unconscious Sun Yingcheng, he threw him next to the man previously called Brother Wang, and then hid in the shadows and used a small pebble to wake the dazed man.
After making sure he discovered Sun Yingcheng, Jiang Li and Gu Jin left without paying any attention to what happened afterward.
Of the other three bases, S City is the closest to the first base. Although it is the closest, even if you drive non-stop before the apocalypse, it would still take one or two days, and that's with the highway on.
It was polar night again, and they had to take a detour and couldn't use the highway, so Jiang Li and his group were moving slowly and leisurely, not in a hurry at all. By the time they were almost at S City, more than a month had passed.
They stopped to rest as usual that day, and Jiang Li noticed that it didn't seem so dark anymore.
"Gu Jin, do you see that the sky isn't as dark as it used to be?"
Gu Jin looked up following Jiang Li's words, and the others also looked up at the sky.
Now that you mention it, it does seem less dark.
Gu Jin looked up at the night sky and said.
"It seems so, there are more stars than before."
Fu Xiaxia said that the best place during the polar night is the starry sky. This kind of starry sky is truly unprecedented. She has been enjoying the "night view" every day during this period.
"It's definitely different now."
Shi Lin said.
