At this moment, Lu Yuan was planning to conduct another round of checks on the people in Zone 3. After all, there were fewer and fewer people now, so checking them wasn't too difficult. The higher-ups required unified management, and as for the person in charge, which was himself, there were no rewards, just some verbal commendations. Lu Yuan could only chuckle.
Just as Lu Yuan arrived at several stores near the supermarket and was about to knock on the doors, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of people appearing in the barren rice paddies. The group was carrying various weapons and was rushing towards the direction of Zone 3.
Lu Yuan immediately realized something was wrong. He took out the miniature binoculars hanging around his neck and looked in that direction. He was immediately filled with panic. He saw about forty or fifty men rushing towards him menacingly. Lu Yuan immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
"Damn it! They finally came!"
However, Lu Yuan thought about it again and felt that something was wrong. This group of people did not come from the fork in the road, but from the direction of Zone 5. Zone 2 is right in front of Zone 5, so obviously these people came from there.
Without much thought, Lu Yuan immediately dialed Chen Ke's number.
"Lu Yuan, what's up? Do you need me to call? Did you find another mouse?"
Chen Ke's voice was lazy, as if he hadn't noticed anything unusual.
But Lu Yuan was extremely anxious. He hurriedly said into the phone, "Don't stay there, come back right now! Someone is heading towards Zone Three!"
"What? Someone's come to Zone 3? How many people?" Chen Ke's lazy voice vanished, her volume rising several decibels, a hint of fear in her voice.
"There are probably forty or fifty people! You hurry and bring your men back, I'll organize the rest of you to get ready! We absolutely cannot let them break in, or we'll be in big trouble!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan rushed to an abandoned house and found a rusty iron pot and a spatula.
After a series of loud bangs, Lu Yuan shouted at the top of his lungs, "Attention everyone! The refugees are here! Don't stay in your homes! All security personnel, come out here with your weapons!"
He kept shouting loudly in Zone 3, and sure enough, everyone was awakened by Lu Yuan's voice in no time. As soon as they heard that refugees had arrived, every household began to close their doors tightly, and the security team members quickly rushed out of their homes with their weapons.
To ensure the combat effectiveness of the security regiment, Lu Yuan specially used the surplus steel in the factory to process a batch of weapons.
The crowd gathered around Lu Yuan to examine the people rushing towards them from afar. Immediately, several of them felt their legs tremble and wanted to run away.
After counting the number of people, Chen Ke had taken more than ten people with her, leaving Lu Yuan with only twelve people left. They all looked pale and sickly. Seeing their condition, Lu Yuan felt a chill in his heart. The fear in their eyes indicated that they had no fighting ability left. If the enemy really attacked all at once, the dozen or so of them would be no match for them.
At this time, Chen Ke had not yet returned, and even if they did, they would be no match for them.
This battle cannot be lost. If we lose, everyone in District 3 will suffer. In fact, Lu Yuan could have escaped home to hide, but he knew he couldn't. If he ran away, and everyone stayed home, the refugees would go from house to house smashing and looting, and no family would be able to escape this calamity.
Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine as he touched his pocket. He hadn't brought his gun, as he was afraid that displaying it would attract attention, so he had kept it at home. He only had a crossbow and five arrows with him, which were his last means of survival. At this moment, the refugees were getting closer and closer, and it was obviously too late to run home.
Gripping the iron rod in his hand, Lu Yuan glanced at the crowd and said, "Let's go and deal with them first! Keep your distance and avoid any conflict for now."
The team members nodded indifferently, but none of them moved an inch.
Looking at the state and reactions of the group, Lu Yuan sighed. What a bunch of useless teammates!
So Lu Yuan rushed into the rice paddy and shouted at them, "What are you doing? Go back right now! This is Zone Three! You can't come any closer!"
Upon hearing this, the opposing group not only did not stop, but instead accelerated, as if they were about to rush forward.
Lu Yuan knew that the other party would not listen to him at all; clearly, they were prepared this time.
Then Lu Yuan began to warn them: "Go back now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan took out a crossbow from his pocket, nocked an arrow, and aimed at the person in front.
The other party was clearly startled by the crossbow in Lu Yuan's hand, and slowed down their pace.
"Don't even think about it! Surrender obediently and hand over all the food, or we will slaughter everyone in your District Three!"
"We've killed everyone in Sector Four! If you cooperate, we might spare your lives; otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
The other party also started shouting at Lu Yuan.
As Lu Yuan watched the approaching crowd, he felt a little flustered. Just then, Chen Ke called.
"Lu Yuan, something terrible has happened! Hundreds of refugees are coming! They're heading straight for us from the fork in the road!"
"What? Hundreds of people?"
Then Lu Yuan looked at the people in the distance and immediately realized that this was another organized riot.
"Damn it! They're obviously in cahoots! They just said everyone in Sector Four has been wiped out! I don't know if it's true! You guys need to come back right now!"
