Those people had said before that there were still more than a dozen people in their hideout, and none of them had firearms, so the people who went ahead with Wang Shuo, plus Jiang Li and his group, should be enough.
The man who stayed behind also said that their hideout was actually in the city, not far from here, so everyone planned to walk there to avoid alerting them.
Of course, you can't completely trust what that person says, since you don't really know how many people are inside. It's always better to be cautious.
The group followed the man who had stayed behind to the vicinity of their hideout. After confirming that this was the place, Gu Jin killed the man with a single strike before he could react.
Keeping him around is always a problem. What if he causes trouble when they go undercover? Besides, they won't let him live anymore.
Jiang Li saw Gu Jin take action and gave Gu Jin an approving look.
Wang Shuo, who was standing nearby, saw this but didn't say anything this time.
The place where those people were staying was inside a shop. The shop had two storefronts, and the wall between them had been removed. There was still the old signboard on it; it used to be a grain and oil shop.
No wonder they chose this place as their base; they probably survived by selling the products in the store at the beginning.
There should be more rooms behind the shop, but Jiang Li didn't see the women they had mentioned being kidnapped.
Jiang Li and Gu Jinran went to the back of the house and found that only the toilet at the back had a window. The rest of the house had no windows, so the only way to get in was through the front door or a window.
However, the toilet window was too small for someone like Gu Jin to fit through.
It's estimated that only Jiang Li and Fu Xiaxia can get in. Gu Jin certainly wouldn't let the two of them take the risk, and no one knows exactly how many people are inside.
So in the end, we decided to break through head-on, but that meant we had to finish the battle quickly.
From Jiang Li's perspective, they could see six people inside the shop; the others must be inside as well.
Six men were left outside to aim their guns at the people inside, while the others followed Jiang Li and the others and slowly approached the house from both sides.
As they approached the door, Gu Jin gave Wang Shuo a look, and Wang Shuo raised his hand and gestured to the six people hidden not far away.
They heard six people fall to the ground with a thud, accompanied by cries of pain. As the six men made their move, Jiang Li and his group quickly went inside and finished off the remaining victims.
The people inside came out as soon as they heard the noise, but they didn't have guns. They came out with knives and were immediately shot dead by Jiang Li and his men.
Overall, it was a one-sided crushing victory for Jiang Li and his team, with the people inside having no chance to fight back.
After no one else came out, the group began to go inside.
What came into view was a very short corridor with a room on each side. You could hear sounds coming from one of the rooms.
Gu Jin grabbed the gun and flung open the door, only to find two men inside, riding on top of two women, engaged in sexual activity.
Gu Jin quickly turned around and covered Jiang Li's eyes, and Shi Lin, who was standing next to her, also covered Fu Xiaxia's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Fu Xiaxia was walking a little behind when Shi Lin suddenly covered her eyes. She asked curiously, but didn't move away, letting Shi Lin cover her eyes, even though she was very curious about what it was.
Fang Qingxun glanced at Fu Xiaxia, whose eyes were covered by Shi Lin, but said nothing.
The people inside heard the door open, and they had also heard the commotion before. They assumed the people outside would handle it, so they didn't go out.
Moreover, Gu Jin and his team dealt with the situation very quickly. Before they could even react, the door was opened, and they tried to turn around and get out of bed, but before they could, Shi Yuan and Fang Qingxun each took them down with a gun.
After dealing with the two people inside, Gu Jin and Fang Qingxun turned around and closed the door. The people who had been at the door earlier had already turned around and left after seeing what was happening inside.
Besides the two women on the bed, there were three other women in the corner of the room, all of them naked, which is why everyone turned away.
Gu Jin spoke up, telling the people inside to get dressed and come out, while Wang Shuo and his men led others to open another room.
The contents of the room were enough to make one gasp in horror. There were several corpses inside, some of which had already been decomposed. Several members of Wang Shuo's team ran to the side and vomited when they saw this. Although Wang Shuo didn't vomit, his complexion was also not good.
Soon, the five women inside came out dressed, but their expressions were numb, as if all hope had been lost. They were unmoved even when Gu Jin and the others opened the door, and only showed a little reaction when the two were beaten to death.
When people saw the five of them, they couldn't help but feel pity. It was so pitiful that they were following such a bunch of beasts.
The scene in the room was so disgusting that Wang Shuo decided to burn it down.
Just as Wang Shuo's men were about to burn the place down, a woman nearby suddenly reacted.
"Could I burn this place down?"
Wang Shuo nodded and had someone give her a torch. The woman held the torch and set the house on fire, as if she could burn away the memories along with the place.
"Do you want to come and live with us at the base?"
Wang Shuo addressed the five women.
The women looked at each other, and finally it was the woman who had lit the fire who spoke up.
“We don’t plan to go to the base. We’ll rely on each other and survive together. Don’t worry, we won’t do the same things they did.”
The women knew that Wang Shuo and the others meant well, but they had lost confidence in getting along with others. Although they had been forced to eat two legs of a sheep before, and although it wasn't voluntary, it was something they had actually done. So they were even more unwilling to go to the base, but they would try their best to survive.
Wang Shuo wanted to say something, but Jiang Li stopped him. Everyone has their own choices. She sympathized with the five people and respected their choices. If she forced them to go to the base, they might feel even more uncomfortable.
It would be better to respect their choice, give them time to heal their wounds, and they will naturally go to the base when they want to.
Wang Shuo didn't say anything more. He left them some food and then left. The women packed their things, took the food Wang Shuo left behind, and left the city.
The journey went smoothly after that, without any further problems. They encountered other survivors along the way, but they were unwilling to return to the base with them.
Some people are like that; they're used to living freely and unrestrained outside. Once they go to the base, there are too many rules, and they don't want to be bound by them. They prefer this kind of life and prefer to be lone wolves.
The convoy drove back without incident until they arrived at the place where the people at the base had promised to pick them up.
Meanwhile, Wang Shuo remained safe and sound, and no one bothered him again, as if they had simply given up.
