Chapter 689 The Demise of Longhu
Wu Shuang was stunned, not quite understanding. She looked up at the vast white expanse in the distance, frowned, and said, "What did you say!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao said, "Someone attacked Longhu."
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, thick smoke suddenly rose in the distance from Longhu, followed by a violent explosion. Wu Shuang's eyes widened as he saw his distant residence destroyed, and the snowflakes falling from the sky were scattered in disarray.
The explosion occurred in a residence housing at least fifty people. Wu Shuang was at a loss as to what to do.
She glanced at the zombies still surging behind her and the attacked residence in the distance, and suddenly understood what was going on.
She hurriedly grabbed Su Yuanqing's walkie-talkie and said, "Everyone, pay attention! Longhu has been attacked. Get ready..."
Bang!
Another explosion rang out, coming from the direction of the armory. Suddenly, Wu Shuang heard screams coming from afar; there were many people, seemingly fleeing for their lives.
And indeed it was true. A short while later, she saw many figures appear in the snow in the distance. It seemed that someone was chasing them. Gunshots suddenly rang out, catching them off guard.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao quickly turned around and went to Wu Shuang's side, saying, "Let's go! Let's go quickly!"
Wu Shuang gritted her teeth and looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao, "No, I can't leave, I have to go and save them."
Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned. "Save them? How can you save them? Since they came to attack, they must have made thorough preparations. The zombies here are probably just a distraction. Let's run, or it will be too late."
It was indeed getting too late. The attackers had already begun advancing from the south to the north, thick black smoke billowing along the way, and explosions echoing everywhere. Virtually every inhabited area had been destroyed. The fact that they knew so much about the living conditions in Longhu suggests that there was an inside agent within Longhu contacting the outside world.
Today's attack was probably premeditated.
The sudden heavy snow, the zombies at the breach, and the sudden attack—everything seemed to have been planned in advance.
Wu Shuang looked at the people driving over from not far away, and felt extremely angry. She wanted to rush over and kill them all, but she knew that even if she rushed over, it would be useless and she would only die under their guns.
Their blatant attack on Longhu must have been premeditated.
Now, all Wu Shuang can probably do is escape with the rest of his men.
Jiang Xiaoxiao said, "Let's leave quickly. There's no use for us staying here now. We must survive to have a chance to take revenge!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the thick smoke rising from her distant home, her heart aching. Many of her friends lived there, and now that the place had been bombed, they must all be dead. Even if they weren't, they were probably suffering terribly.
If you want to take revenge, you must survive. If you are captured, you will only face death. At that time, you will not even have a chance to fight back, let alone take revenge.
Wu Shuang understood this principle perfectly well, but she was unwilling to accept it. Seeing so many people die before her eyes was unbearable. This place she had worked so hard to conquer, was she really going to hand it over to someone else? The people living in Longhu hadn't left because they trusted her, but now she was leading them down a dead end.
"Let's go quickly!" Seeing the attackers getting closer and closer in the distance, Jiang Xiaoxiao pulled Wu Shuang away immediately.
Wu Shuang understood that he couldn't change anything now, so he could only follow in Jiang Xiaoxiao's footsteps and lead the remaining people away from Longhu.
They ignored the zombies at the breach and ran straight up the mountain. Their priority now was to escape; revenge could wait until they survived.
They were only on a small earthen slope. Once on top, Wu Shuang looked down and saw the attackers slaughtering the people in Longhu. Longhu's armory had already been destroyed, so even if some people were carrying weapons, it was useless; the attackers were too overwhelming, and they couldn't fight back.
Wu Shuang gritted her teeth, turned her head, and followed Jiang Xiaoxiao, quickly leaving.
Beside her, besides Su Yuanqing, were several other people carrying weapons. They didn't seem to want to resist, after all, they only had one life, and it was better to cherish it.
I climbed to the top of the earthen slope and then ran down the steps. There was another explosion behind me, a very loud explosion. I guess they must have blown up the house next to the gap.
But there was no one inside, so blowing it up wouldn't do any good.
...
Two hours later, Wu Shuang and Jiang Xiaoxiao found a safe place and hid inside.
Wu Shuang brought them here. After entering, they found that there was water, food, and weapons.
Looking at the scene before her, Jiang Xiaoxiao asked in surprise, "What's going on here? How can there be so many resources?"
Wu Shuang said, "This is Longhu's last resort. A long time ago, I was afraid something would happen to Longhu, so I found a secluded place and set up several safe zones. Many people know about this. If they are still alive, they should bring people to the safe zones. We can rest here for the next few days and think about how to take back Longhu."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt it was a bit unreal and frowned, asking, "Take back Longhu? You still want to go back?"
Wu Shuang said, "Otherwise what?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao was taken aback and didn't know what to say.
Wu Shuang said, "Longhu is my only home now. I will not allow these people to ruin Longhu like this. I must fight my way back."
Jiang Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "Can you calm down first? Do you think we can handle going back like this with just the few of us?"
Wu Shuang said, "I'm very calm now. If you're not willing to come back with me, that's fine. I can go by myself. I don't need your help."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt like she was listening to a dream. "Are you crazy?!"
Wu Shuang said, "I'm not crazy. I just don't want to see Longhu fall into someone else's hands. You don't need to say anything more. If you don't want to, you don't have to say so much."
Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned, "But I can't just watch you go to your death! Lu Xiaonan has already gone back to Jiajiang to find someone. I think he'll be back soon. You can wait until he comes back before you make your move!"
Wu Shuang said, "I don't know when he will come back, and I don't know if he can bring people over. Actually, I didn't have high hopes for him going to Jiajiang to borrow people. In addition, with the heavy snow blocking the roads, I don't even know if he can come back on his own, let alone bring people over."
