Chapter 25: The Troublesome Situation Inside the Air Raid Shelter
Yuan Tu couldn't understand what Lu Yao and the others were saying, and for a moment he began to wonder where these three people came from.
However, he noticed the fat man's strange gaze and immediately became wary, frowning as he asked, "Are you trying to discard me after you've served your purpose? Are you planning to silence me here?"
Lu Yao's lips twitched slightly, and she shook her head, saying, "Don't think so badly of us. We didn't mean that."
"What does that mean?"
Yuan Tu pointed at Liu Qi and questioned, "What kind of look is that? It's like he's telling me to die!"
Lu Yao couldn't explain this.
After all, it really was Liu Qi who wanted to kill the other party.
After a moment of silence, Liu Qi sighed and said, "Dude, has he found out about my plan?"
Lu Yao nodded silently.
"Hey, this guy's pretty smart, not easy to fool. What do we do now? We can't just stay out here all night, can we?"
Liu Qi glanced around; the dim environment made him feel very uncomfortable.
He even suspected that he might be attacked by some random thing at night.
"There are people in this air-raid shelter now, and we have nowhere to go. Do you have any good ideas?" Lu Yao asked Yuan Tu for his opinion.
Yuan Tu shrugged and said, "You have guns, why don't you just shoot in?"
Should we penetrate?
You make it sound so simple, do you think bullets are free?
The gun in Lao Gao's hand only had this one magazine of bullets left. Once it was empty, the gun would really be useless.
Lu Yao's lips twitched, and he shook his head, saying, "You think bullets are free?"
Cherish bullets?
It seems these three guys are indeed no ordinary people.
Moreover, this gun is clearly not a homemade double-barreled gun, indicating that the other party must have a large force backing them up.
Could these three people have some secret plan they can't talk about here?
Just as Lu Yao hesitated, Lao Gao suddenly turned his gun around, pointing it directly at the air-raid shelter, and frowned, saying, "Someone is spying on us!"
"Someone's coming out!"
Yuan Tu also noticed something amiss and quickly offered a reminder.
The two were the first to notice that Liu Qi had searched around but couldn't find any handy weapons, so he simply grabbed a rock for self-defense.
Lu Yao didn't say anything, but spent one point to exchange for a high-powered flashlight.
The next moment, he pressed the button on the high-powered flashlight, and a blinding white beam shot out instantly, landing directly at the entrance of the air-raid shelter.
The sudden bright light caught everyone present off guard.
Yuan Tu frowned, somewhat puzzled as to where Lu Yao had gotten such a glowing thing.
Lao Gao and Liu Qi were the first to realize that Lu Yao had exchanged for a high-powered flashlight, but the effect was a bit too strong.
The entrance to the air-raid shelter.
A woman and two children were startled by the sudden bright light, gasping in surprise. Their vision went completely white, and they were instantly thrown into a panic.
It is important to know that people who have adapted to darkness may experience temporary blindness when suddenly exposed to bright light.
It's now!
"Old Gao!"
Lu Yao immediately reminded him, and then tossed the high-powered flashlight to Lao Gao.
The moment he caught the powerful flashlight, Lao Gao immediately rushed towards the entrance of the air-raid shelter.
At the same time, Lu Yao quickly pulled Liu Qi, signaling him to rush up with her.
After all, if they stayed here, and Yuan Tu, this superhuman, made a move, he and Liu Qi would definitely be in trouble. So, staying with Lao Gao was the safest option.
There's no other way out now; they have to find a way to fight it out inside the air-raid shelter.
Yuan Tu noticed Lu Yao and Liu Qi's actions and squinted slightly while standing still.
He still couldn't figure out where Lu Yao got that glowing thing from, since he knew very well that Lu Yao wasn't holding anything in his hand.
And he didn't have that in his car either.
It seems this guy is the most special one.
After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Tu immediately followed and chose to go with Lu Yao and the others.
He had no other choice.
He definitely wouldn't go to the place where stars gather; that place isn't suitable for him. Otherwise, he and Kuishan wouldn't have hidden in that small sandy town.
The appearance of Lu Yao here, along with the presence of the other two people, made him feel that he had to make a choice.
These three people are definitely not simple; following them might be a good choice.
After the group rushed into the air-raid shelter, Lao Gao had already pointed his gun at the short-haired woman's head, while the other two children were punching and kicking Lao Gao from the side.
"Let go of Sister Wang, you bad person!"
"Go ahead and try to arrest us, we're not afraid of you!"
The two children, a boy and a girl, had their eyes closed. Even though they hadn't gotten used to their sudden blindness, they knew that their older sister, Wang, was in danger.
Their shouts attracted the attention of those hiding inside the air-raid shelter.
One by one, children peeked out from inside. Seeing the short-haired woman being threatened, a group of children rushed over and began punching and kicking Lu Yao and the others without any regard for their safety.
This scene also surprised Lu Yao.
I thought there was some formidable superhuman hiding here.
I never expected it to be a group of children.
And it was led by a young woman; they were just a bunch of lambs.
"Hostage hostage!"
Yuan Tu followed him in and glanced at the scene before narrowing his eyes and saying, "There are actually nine hostages. If you include that woman, that makes ten. Looks like they snuck out."
Lu Yao now feels somewhat disgusted by the term "hostage".
After all, he was also a hostage, and one who was almost sold twice.
The woman also realized what was happening. Ignoring the discomfort in her eyes, she quickly shielded the children behind her and explained, "Please don't hurt the children. It's all my fault. I'm the one who brought them out. If you want to kill someone, kill me. Please, I beg you, they're innocent..."
Faced with this scene, Lao Gao was also at a loss.
The other party was a woman and a child, but as long as they weren't armed, they weren't dangerous lunatics.
He wouldn't shoot women and children with his gun immediately.
After a moment of silence, Lao Gao turned and asked, "What do we do now? They're not enemies; they're probably just hiding here. You decide how to handle it."
What should I do?
Lu Yao was also in a bit of a dilemma.
These are ten lives. If they all die because of something I said, then I'm probably not even human.
"Ten hostages—clearly they escaped from itinerant merchants. These merchants are no ordinary people; they have deep connections with some large settlements!"
Yuan Tu leaned against the side, squinting, and said, "These are ten major troubles, and of course, you yourself are one, and even the two beside you are!"
"If you're worried about trouble, just kill them all to silence them, and you'll all be safe."
"After all, with ten people staying here, besides your own supplies, you also have to support them, and you have to be careful of traveling merchants coming to your door. Those hunting dogs are no ordinary people..."
