Watching the safe zone team flee quickly, Fu Xiyao was filled with disbelief.
"Why didn't they fight back? Why did they run away? They could have won!" Fu Xiyao asked, puzzled.
The group in the safe zone numbered at least several thousand people, yet they were being chased and forced to flee in a sorry state by more than forty scavengers.
"It's just that I cherish my life." Li Yu's words summed up the answer.
The people in the safe zone are afraid of dying, even though there are many of them.
Once a real fight breaks out, it's actually just the guards fighting.
Once the guards retreated, they had to retreat as well.
Because he had successfully dealt with Zhang Chao, Li Yu's lips curled up slightly.
A huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.
Getting rid of Zhang Chao, the troublemaker, is like removing a thorn in his side.
Seeing the scavengers ahead continuing their attack, Li Yu moved forward again.
"This situation is becoming increasingly favorable to scavengers."
Led by Zhang Biao, the team in the safe zone hastily withdrew, leaving behind a scene of chaos.
In order to run faster, several heavy boxes were even thrown away, and one horse was left unridden.
"Look, they've abandoned the supplies."
"Spotted, give chase." The tall man continued to give his orders methodically.
These scavenger teams all appeared remarkably calm and obeyed their commands without question.
They came here primarily for revenge, not simply to plunder supplies.
Moreover, having learned a painful lesson from the previous explosion of supplies, the scavenger team was now more cautious about the supplies.
Although on the surface they are continuing their attack.
However, they themselves knew that with their strength of only a few dozen people, it was impossible to wipe out a safe zone team of several thousand people.
Moreover, if they are pushed too hard, and the other side fights back desperately, they will surely die.
The scavenger team followed for several more kilometers.
Only after confirming that the team in the safe zone had indeed escaped did they return to clean up the battlefield and distribute the spoils.
After all, even if they didn't take all the spoils and supplies, the refugees who arrived later would take them.
The tall man squatted down beside the box, carefully inspected it, and then spoke:
"Safety!"
After a careful inspection, he found no hidden bombs or other dangerous items among the supplies.
All the scavengers breathed a sigh of relief.
This trip wasn't a complete waste.
Li Yu rushed over with Fu Xiyao, also wanting to see if there was anything useful, since he had also contributed to the battle.
As soon as Li Yu approached, he was completely drawn to the abandoned horse.
It wasn't that the horse was particularly handsome, but rather that it was happily munching on a severed limb on the ground.
They seem to be enjoying their food.
"The horse is eating meat!"
Li Yu stared at the horse in disbelief; its mouth was stained red with blood.
"Don't horses eat grass?" Fu Xiyao asked, her eyes widening in surprise.
From the knowledge she acquired growing up, horses were always herbivores.
"No wonder." Li Yu suddenly realized.
He had been wondering how the horses in the safe zone were kept alive and fed when there was now a vast expanse of water everywhere, with virtually no dry grass and even very little grass at all.
Now, Li Yu's doubts have finally been resolved.
It seems these horses have completely evolved into omnivores, even eating meat.
"Someone's coming."
The lookout turned and reported to the tall man.
The scavengers gathered there also turned their heads to look with curiosity.
Li Yu and Fu Xiyao were slowly approaching.
"It's him!"
"It's that sharpshooter."
Upon seeing the iconic black bow in Li Yu's hand, all the scavengers instantly guessed his identity.
Without Li Yu's secret help, they wouldn't have been able to achieve such a smooth victory.
The tall man stood up, first raising his hand high to indicate that he was not carrying a weapon, and then gesturing to Li Yu to talk.
Li Yu returned the same gesture, and the tall man then walked over alone.
The tall man stopped when he was about ten meters away, which was a tacit rule among scavengers.
"I am their temporary team leader, my name is Chen Lai."
"Li Yu".
"Thanks to your help, we can let you choose these supplies first," Chen Lai said, demonstrating his sincerity.
After all, Li Yu's bow and arrows posed a significant threat, and he didn't want to have a conflict with Li Yu over these things.
If he weren't the temporary team leader, he wouldn't have had to consider the feelings of over forty people.
Even if I give all these things to Li Yu, it wouldn't be a bad idea to make friends.
"Thank you." Li Yu didn't refuse and went straight forward to make her selections.
"Let him take it first," Chen Lai ordered the forty-odd people.
No one had any objections to this. Although none of them had ever met Li Yu, his archery skills were already quite famous among the refugees.
Li Yu looked around at the supplies in the box, and to be honest, he didn't like any of them.
Because it contains mostly flashy but impractical things.
There was even a box filled with plates.
Why would we need to go through all that trouble to move this thing here?
When Li Yu saw the raincoat in another box, she thought of the uniform raincoats worn by the people in the safe zone, which seemed to be quite waterproof.
"I need two raincoats." Li Yu took two raincoats directly from the box.
“I want that horse too.” Li Yu pointed to the horse that was still eating meat.
