These people did not commit such heinous acts due to a lack of resources. It is highly likely that they were simply trying to satisfy their psychological perversions or were addicted to human flesh to satisfy their appetites.
"What a bunch of beasts!" Qi Xiaowei cursed angrily, clenching his fists as if he could feel the endless pain and fear that those thugs had brought to the people of Guangping City.
The surrounding militiamen also looked indignant. Most of them were ordinary people, and they naturally felt anger and sympathy when they heard about such a thing.
"Commander, you must do us justice!" the refugees pleaded in unison, their eyes filled with expectation and trust in Chen Yu.
"General, give the order! I'll lead my men to wipe out those beasts right now!" Qi Xiaowei said excitedly, his eyes gleaming with determination.
Chen Yu did not immediately agree to Qi Xiaowei's request. Instead, he looked at the refugees and asked, "Approximately how many of them are there? What is their firepower like?"
Chen Yu knew that the thugs who could maintain their rule even after driving an entire city to this point were no ordinary people. If they were to rush in without understanding the situation, it could cause unnecessary casualties, or even lead to their own annihilation.
Therefore, he needs more information to assess the situation and formulate a plan.
The refugees looked at each other blankly, clearly unaware of the specifics of the rioters.
After a long pause, a younger refugee mustered his courage, took a step forward, and said with a hint of uncertainty, "I don't know much. I've only heard from others that those rioters were originally prisoners in Guangping Prison. When the natural disaster struck, they rioted and seized control of the prison. Using it as a base, they quickly occupied major police stations and offices in Guangping City. So far, their main force numbers between 300 and 500 people, and they have firearms, including several machine guns and some grenades."
Chen Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this. If that was all there was to it, then this group of people was not a threat.
He then returned to the sled and used a reconnaissance satellite to survey Guangping City. Due to the darkness, the satellite's infrared imaging function was somewhat limited, but even so, Chen Yu was still able to roughly determine the areas where people were relatively concentrated, but there was no particularly large-scale gathering.
"Mr. Chen, with just these people, I'll take 500 'militiamen' and wipe them all out tonight," Qi Xiaowei said confidently.
Chen Yu originally wanted to wait until dawn to conduct a more thorough reconnaissance, but seeing Qi Xiaowei's confidence and considering that they still had to travel the next day, in order not to waste time, he took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Be careful, and don't act impulsively."
"Yes, sir!" Qi Xiaowei gave the order, then turned and got out of the car to deploy his troops.
