"Mr. Lu, why...why did you come out?"
Lu Yuan pointed to the direction of the tunnel, then to the location of the armored vehicle, and then gestured with his lips to indicate that the other party should go there.
"Go back and talk to me, I can't hear you here!"
Then, Lu Yuan patted the people working in the tunnel again.
When they felt someone calling them from behind, they wiped the rain off their faces and turned around, only to see that the person standing behind them was not their teammate, but Lu Yuan.
Their faces showed panic, and they held all sorts of tools in their hands, looking somewhat lost.
Lu Yuan pointed again to the armored vehicle in the distance.
"Get on the bus, everyone!"
So Lu Yuan led these people into the back of the armored vehicle.
The car door opened, and several people walked in one after another.
Lu Yuan shone his flashlight inside and found that there was no one in the car, only a few of them.
Closing the armored vehicle's door immediately reduced the noise outside, allowing Lu Yuan to hear their conversation clearly.
"What are you all doing here, sneaking around like this? Which camp are you from? Who sent you?"
The group exchanged glances, seemingly discussing how to respond.
Lu Yuan gently picked up the dagger and picked at his fingernails.
These people knew that Lu Yuan was extremely strong, and even if they joined forces, they might not be a match for him.
"Stop your scheming and tell me what's going on, or I won't mind interrogating you myself!"
Several people sitting in their seats swallowed hard in unison.
The man sitting in the center pondered for a long time before speaking.
"We...we're just here to survey the terrain; we're Zhou Tong's men!"
Upon hearing his words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"Zhou Tong's men? I know most of Zhou Tong's men, but how come I've never seen any of you before?"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, a look of panic flashed across the faces of the group.
Lu Yuan knew, of course, that these people were lying, and he looked at them coldly.
"I'm giving you one more chance. Are you going to tell the truth, or am I going to force you to? You're smart people, you should know what to do!"
The group fell silent, heads bowed as if deep in thought.
Suddenly, Lu Yuan saw someone put their hands behind their back, as if they were groping for something.
Lu Yuan looked in that direction and saw a cold glint in the other person's eyes.
Then, he roared and pulled a pistol from behind his back.
However, before the other party could even fire his pistol, Lu Yuan threw the dagger at him.
With a soft "thud," the dagger pierced the man's chest precisely. A look of despair flashed in the man's eyes, and as blood continued to flow, the light in his eyes slowly turned gray. Finally, he clutched his chest, let out a miserable scream, and breathed his last.
"Looks like you're still not being honest. Fine, since you're not going to cooperate, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan gently patted the shoulder of the person next to him.
The other person felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body began to tremble. He looked at Lu Yuan, shaking, and then his mental defenses collapsed.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, please don't kill me! I'll tell you everything! We're under Guo Jialiang's command. We're facing a severe food shortage, and to survive, we heard you had some grain, so we thought of borrowing some from you!"
"Borrow grain? You really have the nerve to say that? If you really wanted to borrow grain, why didn't you come through the main gate? Were you planning to come to my house through the tunnels? Or were you planning to launch a surprise attack and become bandits?"
Upon hearing this, the other person was so frightened that they immediately knelt down on the ground.
The armored vehicle wasn't very spacious, and the other person was kneeling on the ground, but his head was hitting Lu Yuan's knee.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I was wrong. Please spare our lives, we promise we'll never do it again!"
A cold glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes: "You just said that Guo Jialiang sent you here?"
"No...no, it's because Guo Jialiang provided us with this clue that we came here!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly.
He had heard of Guo Jialiang before. Guo was originally the director of a machinery factory, but he was forced to negotiate with Chen Zhongzheng because their fortress had some problems.
However, Chen Zhongzheng directly refused the other party and gave him a way to survive. The other party followed his method and led a group of people to rescue the fortress.
He succeeded and then took the opportunity to build his own new fortress, becoming the highest authority within it.
"It seems this Guo Jialiang is no ordinary person; his methods are so ruthless! I have to find a way to bring him down, otherwise, Guo Jialiang will definitely cause some serious trouble!"
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yuan looked at the trembling people.
"Alright, I have no intention of killing you, but you may be spared the death penalty, but you will not escape punishment. Since you want to deal with me, you will have to pay the price!"
"Letting you all go back peacefully like this is not my style, nor can I do it! You decide for yourselves. Here's a dagger. Will I make the decision for you, or will you do it yourselves?"
