After hanging up the phone, the rioters were less than 200 meters away from the main road in Zone 3.
Lu Yuan could even see the gleaming knives in their hands, clearly indicating that they were well-prepared this time.
At this moment, a teammate next to him said with a sob in his voice, "It's over! We're all doomed! A friend of mine from Zone 3 just told me that everyone in Zone 4 has been killed! More than fifty people have all been killed."
This statement immediately caused a huge uproar among the dozen or so people.
Lu Yuan glared at the other person and said angrily, "Shut up! What are you thinking about at a time like this!"
"Captain, what should we do? We can't possibly be a match for them!"
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and looked at the crowd in the distance, saying in a low voice, "Retreat! Don't contact them for now! Go home as soon as possible! Keep the gate secure! Notify everyone in the group chat: do not open the gate under any circumstances, no matter who comes!"
There was nothing Lu Yuan could do. He originally thought that with only a few dozen people, they would be easier to deal with, but he didn't expect that they had actually colluded with a large group of people in the city.
So Lu Yuan dialed Chen Ke's number again.
"Hurry back! Run as fast as you can, I'm keeping watch for you!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan took out his crossbow, aimed at the person in front, and pulled the trigger.
With a "whoosh," a gleaming crossbow bolt flew out, and the first person immediately fell to the ground, clutching his throat in pain and rolling around on the ground, blood splattering everywhere as if it were free. Several people nearby were immediately covered in blood.
The arrow caused the mob to pause slightly, and the leader immediately brandished his machete and shouted at Lu Yuan, "Kill him!"
The crowd erupted again and charged towards Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan could even feel his own heartbeat. He turned his head and saw that the team members who were just there had vanished without a trace after hearing his command, while Chen Ke and the others had already run to the supermarket.
Seeing the approaching crowd, Lu Yuan immediately shouted at them, "Get to the supermarket! Hide in the supermarket! I'll come back to rescue you! You must hold on!"
After speaking, Lu Yuan fired another arrow at the crowd with his crossbow. It's unclear which unlucky person this arrow hit, but it caused another wave of panic among the crowd. This arrow gave Chen Ke and the others a glimmer of hope.
So Lu Yuan didn't stop shooting arrows. He took out a third arrow and a fourth arrow from his pocket and fired them in quick succession, killing two more opponents.
The supermarket door suddenly made a muffled thud, and then Lu Yuan saw Song Heng, who was running too fast, crash into the iron gate because he couldn't stop. However, the other party didn't care about that and opened the door. More than ten team members filed in and then closed the door.
Seeing that they were safe, Lu Yuan quickly turned around and ran towards his home.
The two families, who had already heard the news at home, knew that the refugees were rushing over. They immediately checked all the traps again, and after confirming that there were no problems, they all stood in front of the door waiting for Lu Yuan to come home.
Having eaten the golden fruit, Lu Yuan's physical strength far surpassed that of ordinary people, and he quickly disappeared from the sight of the mob.
With a bang, Lu Yuan slammed the door shut. Panting, he looked at the concerned eyes of the people looking at him and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
"Xiao Yuan, how many people are there?" Father Lu asked nervously, holding a crossbow.
"It seems there are about forty or fifty people from Zone 3. Chen Ke and his group just found several hundred more at the crossroads."
"What? Hundreds of people! What are we going to do now? Oh dear! We absolutely can't go out again!" Xiaoshan's mother nervously wrung her hands.
While comforting her mother, Xiaoshan asked worriedly, "I wonder if the house will hold up!"
Lu Yuan looked at the large pit by the wall and felt a little more at ease.
"It's alright, our walls are very high, they won't be able to climb over without any tools."
Lu Yuan then checked the door again to make sure there were no problems before leading everyone upstairs.
Both the second and third floors have tall observation decks, which Lu Yuan deliberately designed. Although they are called observation decks, they are actually huge bay windows. However, because they extend far out, even if there are people downstairs, they can easily shoot from upstairs.
As for what was happening outside the gate, no one knew. However, they were guarding several large watchtowers, and if anyone rushed up, the people on the watchtowers could use them as targets to shoot them down.
Soon, Lu Yuan heard a commotion coming from the main road, followed by the sound of various iron tools and stones being used to bang on the iron gate. The supermarket was located at the entrance, making it the first place to come into contact with the rioters.
It's extremely dangerous there now, and Lu Yuan can't see what's going on there. He can only silently pray that Chen Ke and the others can hold on and that the gate is sturdy enough.
After all, if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold; if they all die, our own side will also suffer a severe blow.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan climbed to the third floor again and looked out. He saw that in addition to the people from Zone 2, a large group of people had indeed arrived. The number was unknown, but it seemed to be at least several hundred. They rushed into the nearby houses and began searching everywhere for food and valuables.
Holding binoculars, Lu Yuan clearly saw more than a dozen people smashing open the door of a house at the entrance of the village with stones. Inside lived Wang the Cripple. He wondered how tenacious this guy was, that he had managed to survive for so long.
