The vehicles stopped before reaching the intersection. They were all large trucks. Soon after, a group of armed men stood guard in front of the first vehicle, and a large group of people, nearly a hundred in number, got out.
They were forced by the armed group to the dead end, forming a dense human wall. A person with a megaphone stood behind the human wall and began to shout.
"Young Master Mo, you and your guards ran very fast, but these unarmed people who came out with you were just abandoned like that. It's truly disheartening to think about!"
Li Ke noticed some movement in a small alley not far away, as if someone wanted to go out but was stopped.
The side that had broken the road quickly responded: "Fu Hua, you ungrateful bastards! You eat our food and drink our water, and now you dare to ambush us! Remember this, our patriarch will not let you get away with this. We've already sent someone back to inform you. If you know what's good for you, release our men now and get out of here, or you'll be wiped out!"
The person on the other side of the blocked road didn't respond immediately, seemingly trying to determine if it was true or false. After a short while, a rough voice rang out: "Stop trying to fool me, you bastard! There's no turning back now that the arrow has been released. I've already chased you all this way, what are you afraid of! You little brats from the Mo family, if you have any guts, come out and surrender! Otherwise, I'll send these people to their west and make them your guides!"
This time, it was the Mo family who remained silent. Li Ke originally intended to go down quietly to meet up with Xiao Guang, but with the current tense plot development, she couldn't bear to leave.
Hearing the shouts from the other side, Mo Cheng tried to stand up several times, but was pressed down by Mo Zuo, the captain of the guards beside him: "Sit still. You don't need to get involved in this. Your job is to stay put and save your life."
Mo Cheng felt a tightness in his chest: "Uncle Mo, what if they really kill those civilians? I'm the one who brought them here. If they die because of me, I won't be able to live either!"
"What? Those thousand lives matter, but the lives of the hundred-odd of us don't? If anything really happens to you, we can only atone with our deaths, none of us will survive!" Mo Zuo replied coldly.
Seeing Mo Cheng sitting there in distress, no longer speaking, he instructed the person beside him, "Keep shouting, try to buy some time, and think of a solution."
Upon hearing the order, the person who had spoken raised the megaphone again: "Fu Hua, aren't you a soldier? Why are you pointing your gun at those innocent civilians? What's the difference between your actions and those heartless beasts?"
"If you're so capable, let's fight knife to knife and gun to gun. Don't use ordinary people's lives as leverage! Only a beastly bastard would be so vicious and shameless!"
