Chapter 302 (4,000 Words)

The next morning.

Lu Jiayi and his group quickly packed up, left the town, and headed towards their next destination.

In the RV.

"So you belong to a settlement called Ideal Town?"

"Yes, our base is in Atlanta, and we are here to search and rescue survivors."

Last night, Lu Jiayi invited several people to join them, and Carlos agreed without any hesitation.

In his opinion, the organization behind Lu Jiayi and his team must be very powerful, and the conversation in the car this morning made him even more convinced of this.

"Are there few survivors in your area? Why do you have to go out to search and rescue?"

Today, Emily no longer had the hostility she had last night, and she suddenly interrupted and asked a question.

"Yes, we are very short of people. The people in the base are too busy now, and we really need fresh blood."

Emily was stunned when she heard this, and then she muttered to herself in a low voice.

"I thought there were so many people, but it turns out it's just a small force."

However, everyone around laughed when they heard this, leaving Emily a little at a loss.

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

Rick also smiled and shook his head, and took the initiative to explain.

"Our base already has a population of more than a thousand people. The reason why Lu said he was too busy is because he is very busy with various tasks on a daily basis."

Carlos and his companions were stunned when they heard this, and Emily even began to stutter.

"Wha...what?! Thousands of people?"

Her beautiful big eyes kept scanning the crowd, but everyone she saw looked calm.

“Really…really!”

Not paying attention to the inexperienced expressions on their faces, Lu Jiayi waved his hand and changed the subject.

"Okay, you'll know the situation at the base when you get there. Let's talk about the situation nearby."

…

After a conversation, they found that these people did not know about the nearby survivor camp. However, Carlos had heard about a large settlement from other survivors, which was said to be organized by the military, but there was no news afterwards and he could not be sure whether it was true.

"Let's first screen the previous few places. We can check out the settlement where the army is stationed when we get close to it."

Half an hour later, the bus slowly approached the next destination. In fact, Lu Jiayi's method of locking the target was very simple, that is, the area with water source nearby.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that without a water source there are no conditions for becoming a settlement. After all, there is groundwater, but he still plans to check the area near the water source first.

Just as the bus was driving on the road, the body of the bus suddenly shook violently, and then the front of the bus suddenly tilted to the side of the road. The huge inertia caught everyone on the bus off guard, and they all tilted to the other side. Some people even hit the other side of the bus because they stood up.

Lu Jiayi was also shaken and his back hit the back of the sofa hard, but he didn't care about it. Instead, he quickly reached out to support Emily who fell towards him.

Emily only felt a sense of weightlessness, and her body was caught by Lu Jiayi opposite her. She was about to say thank you.

Boom!

A violent explosion sounded on the other side of the bus, and the shrapnel from the explosion hit the armor of the bus, making a crackling sound of metal collision.

"Enemy attack!"

Norton in the front roared, but turned the steering wheel in his hand quickly, trying to stabilize the car.

Just as Emily was about to feel thankful that she was caught, she felt her body become weightless again, and then she fell onto the soft sofa.

Lu Jiayi quickly took out the pistol from his waist, stood up immediately, and began to command the soldiers to defend in an orderly manner.

"Rick! You take ten people here, and the rest of you stay on my side. Glenn, you come with me to the roof of the car."

After quickly arranging some defensive matters, I felt the bus turn again and completely blocked the road.

Lu Jiayi finally saw the enemy. It turned out to be a military Hummer. The originally hollow roof of the Hummer was welded with steel plates, and even the tires were well protected. There were obviously several people in the car, as could be seen from the number of gun barrels sticking out of the shooting ports.

"Rick, bring up the armor-piercing bullets."

Click, after loading the bullets, Lu Jiayi looked coldly at the homemade armored vehicle opposite and sneered in his heart.

At this moment, a loudspeaker suddenly appeared on the roof of the car opposite, and then a somewhat distorted male voice came over.

"I'll give you one minute to hand over the supplies, or the next grenade will go straight for your car."

The other party's tone was extremely arrogant, and it was obvious that they often did this kind of thing, and had never encountered any tough opponents so far, which was why they behaved so high-profile.

Rick's face turned pale, and he also picked up the microphone. His tone became a little angry, but he was still very calm. He didn't say anything sarcastic. He just gave a few warnings, and then motioned to the people around him to go to the back to get their weapons, as that was the space where heavy weapons were stored.

The other party was still shouting, and Rick just kept repeating what he had just said, but the people in the car kept taking out their grenade launchers from the back, and Glenn on the roof was ready to set up a heavy machine gun at any time.

At this time, there were several people squatting in the back of the Hummer opposite, all holding guns and aiming at the bus intently. The interior of the car had obviously been modified, and several adults stood in a row without looking crowded at all.

In the front passenger seat, a bearded man wearing sunglasses was sitting there with a cigar in his mouth and a calm look on his face. The whole car was filled with a pungent smell of tobacco, but it was obvious that the others didn't care.

The bearded man looked at his watch and said without turning his head.

"Time's up, fire."

Hearing this, several people in the back row pulled the trigger without hesitation. There was a burst of gunfire for a while, and the bearded man calmly picked up a pair of headphones from his side and put them on his head. Intense rock music floated out of the headphones, and the bearded man soon half closed his eyes and began to shake his head.

On the bus, Carlos' eyes widened and his finger trembled slightly as he pointed at the Hummer in front that was raining bullets.

"These bastards were the ones who attacked us. They killed more than a dozen of us!"

Galawa, who was always silent, clenched his fists at this moment, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be about to burst out in the next second. If these flames could kill people, he believed that those people on the opposite side would be turned into ashes in an instant by his anger.

Emily climbed up from the sofa and shrank back into it again, looking at the metal monster outside with fear. She was afraid that the bus could not handle it, so what would be waiting for her next?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shouted loudly.

"Why don't you shoot? If you don't shoot, they will rush over!"

Gary hugged his daughter and sat there without saying a word, but his shaking legs clearly expressed that he was not at peace at the moment.

Just when the newcomers were feeling angry or frightened, a loud noise suddenly came from above their heads.

Bang!

The sound of gunfire was like an order, and the ten-man team facing the Hummer also opened fire.

The Hummer that was slowly approaching them was stunned by the sudden powerful firepower. The bearded man in the passenger seat also felt something was wrong. He subconsciously raised his head and looked to the side, only to see a scene that he would never forget in his life.

The driver's upper body exploded like a bursting watermelon.

The walls of the carriage were instantly dyed a bright red, and the strong smell of gunpowder in the car was covered by a disgusting smell of blood.

The Hummer lost control instantly, and the driver stepped on the accelerator reflexively, and the car rushed diagonally forward.

The bearded man reacted very quickly. He reached out to grab the steering wheel and forced the front of the car to straighten out. He realized that things seemed to be out of control. There were steel plates installed on the outside of their car, which ordinary bullets could not penetrate. However, what happened to the driver was happening right in front of him.

The other side has armor-piercing bullets!

The bearded man thought of this almost instantly, and cursed in his heart that he had finally led the team out, but ended up running into a group of guys whose firepower was no less than theirs.

At the moment when the Hummer lost control, another bullet went through the front. There was originally only a small window on the driver's side in front of the windshield. At this time, there was a bang, and a hole as thick as a wrist appeared again on the thick steel plate in front.

The bearded man could no longer remain calm, his back and forehead were covered with a dense layer of cold sweat. At that moment, he was secretly glad that the car lost control for a moment, otherwise the bullet would have hit his chest.

However, his will to survive made him dare not hesitate. He turned the steering wheel again, and the front of the Hummer tilted again. Unexpectedly, another bullet penetrated the steel plate in front. But this time they were not so lucky. A person in the back seat was directly exploded like the driver just now, and the car was covered with a layer of bright red again.

Each of them now looked like a demon that had just crawled out of a pool of blood, but there was not ferocity in everyone's eyes, but fear. Several people looked at each other and rushed towards the car door at the same time, but they bumped into each other, causing chaos in the car for a while.

The bearded man leaned over, holding the steering wheel tightly in his hands. The Hummer rushed to the side of the road at high speed and soon crashed into a big tree.

The bearded man jumped out of the car door just before the car hit the tree.

"Ah~fuck!"

The huge inertia made him roll several times on the ground, and finally he hit another tree. The severe pain made him cry out in pain, but he still gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, but he felt a tearing pain in his back, and he could only struggle on the spot for a while.

Lu Jiayi coldly put down the gun in his hand and jumped into the car.

"Rick, bring a few people with me out."

The battle came suddenly and ended extremely quickly. While Emily was still daydreaming, the battle was over.

She saw Lu Jiayi and a few others rushing out of the car quickly, and she muttered to herself in a daze.

"Is this the end?"

Carlos looked at the unrecognizable Hummer with red eyes, and followed it in impulsively. When he passed the car door, he picked up a fallen machete from the ground.

After getting out of the car, several people quickly rushed to the back of the Hummer. As Lu Jiayi made a few gestures, several people quickly squatted on the ground, pointing their guns at the doors on both sides.

Lu Jiayi leaned over to look around on both sides and soon discovered that the passenger door was open. A man in dark clothes was lying in the woods not far away, seemingly trying to crawl forward.

Three, two, one!

Crash.

The doors on both sides of the car were suddenly opened, and the tragic scene inside the car came into view.

Because there were no safety measures, several people rushed to the door at the moment of the collision, causing the two people in the front seat to become meat cushions. One person's head was buried in the backrest of the front row, and the other person's body was bent into a strange angle, and it seemed that he was dead.

The other three were slightly better, but they were still lying there in agony, groaning in pain.

Rick and his men quickly controlled the three people and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Jiayi walked towards the man in the woods.

The bearded man heard the noise behind him and knew that he was doomed this time. He tightened the gun in his hand and pretended to be exhausted and lay on the ground, gasping for breath. His body rose and fell with his breathing. From behind, he looked like he was seriously injured and was about to die.

"Okay, stop pretending. I know you're not dead."

Lu Jiayi warned the other party coldly, and the gun in his hand made a loading sound. The meaning was simple: if you pretend again, I will help you get rid of it.

The bearded man cursed inwardly, hid the hand holding the gun behind his back as if for support, and half-sat up with difficulty.

"Put your hands up."

Lu Jiayi urged him without giving him any chance, with the muzzle of the gun pointed steadily at his forehead.

I don’t know if it was because of the pain or the tension, but the bearded man’s forehead was covered with sweat, and the dirt all over his body made him look extremely disheveled.

The hand behind him trembled slightly, and the gun fell to the ground. The metal fell on the soft soil without making any sound, and then he slowly raised his hands.

Looking at the bearded man's expression, Lu Jiayi knew everything clearly. He just said he was injured and acted like he was dying, but now he is fine just because a gun is pointed at him. Everyone knows that this guy has bad intentions.

He slowly walked to the side, intending to check behind the bearded man. Just after taking two steps, he saw that the expression on the other's face became extremely unnatural, and his right hand was slightly lowered.

He was secretly alert in his heart, but he didn't stop. The moment he took the third step, the bearded man sank his right hand suddenly and his body rolled to the side. When he turned over and faced Lu Jiayi again, he had a pistol in his hand.

Bang!

Ahhh~

The next second, the bearded man covered the hand holding the gun and let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

Lu Jiayi took a step forward and kicked the gun that fell to the ground away. Then he leaned over to search and made sure that the other party had no other weapons before slowly standing up.

"Lu, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

Rick's somewhat nervous voice was heard, and he ran over here. He didn't feel relieved until he saw Lu Jiayi standing there safely.

Five minutes later.

The four guys were placed side by side on the side of the Hummer. With more than a dozen guns pointed at them, they had lost their arrogance and just sat there with their heads down, half dead.

Only the bearded man still raised his head. Although the severe pain in his hand made him gasp for breath, he still spoke to Lu Jiayi in a firm tone.

"You'd better let us go, otherwise our organization will find you soon, and then you won't be able to escape!"

"Oh? Really? Then can you explain why this thing was found next to your seat?"

PS: The epidemic situation here has become more serious recently. I am no longer looking forward to evacuation. I will just upload as much as I write in the future. I will try to upload as much as possible because I have maintained a minimum of 4,000 words per day in the past few months, which has resulted in me having almost no free time. Recently, due to the epidemic situation, my wife is emotionally unstable, so I will not write at home and concentrate on accompanying the children.
