Chapter 1529 - 874: Third Uncle’s Fury (Part 2)
Li Yu, after reincarnation, had an incredible memory and found it hard to forget things others had said.According to what Gao Ru had said at the time, it seemed that there were indeed several other forces within the Western Alliance, including a Liu Family and a Zhang Family, and the person who fled from the Zhang Family seemed to be called Zhang Rufen.
To judge whether these people in front of him were lying, he needed to confirm their names.
"What’s your name?" Li Yu looked at Zhang Rufen and asked.
Zhang Rufen was somewhat taken aback, wondering why he was suddenly being asked his name.
Did this have anything to do with what they said?
But he still replied truthfully, "Zhang Rufen."
Li Yu thought to himself, indeed!
Then he looked at Liu Cunyi, "And you?"
"Liu Cunyi." Liu Cunyi answered, bewildered, not quite understanding Li Yu’s purpose.
Hearing their answers, Li Yu had a sense of certainty.
The world is indeed miraculous, and such coincidences can happen.
But it was certain that Zhang Rufen and Liu Cunyi were likely not lying about what they just said.
A person’s name might coincidentally be repeated, but the probability of two people’s names matching is very low.
Thus, after pondering for a moment, Li Yu asked, "When did you last see those people?"
Liu Cunyi thought for a moment and said, "Two days ago, near An City in Gui Province, we saw them while hiding in the woods. We even saw another group—those people should be Yue Country monkeys...
Now it’s not just people from Lao Country’s Jinmu Group; there should also be Yue Country monkey people... Anyway, bandits from Southwest and Southeast Asia are roaming everywhere."
Liu Cunyi paused for a few seconds, seemingly recalling a terrifying scene on his face.
"We saw with our own eyes on the hillside that group of people loading several survivors onto cars, and then, astonishingly, they set up grills right there, cooked, and shared human flesh."
As he spoke, Liu Cunyi’s stomach acid suddenly rose, but given that they had little food left from Sanshan Village, he couldn’t bear to waste any food, so he forcefully held it back.
Eating people?
Li Yu was furious.
Li Yu usually wouldn’t bother with external matters unless they provoked him.
But if he encountered despicable, inhumane scum, he wouldn’t mind wasting a bullet.
Besides, if what these people were saying was true,
Then, once those scammers tasted successes, they’d surely head east.
Heading east on their path, sooner or later, they would threaten the existence of the Big Camphor Tree Base.
Whether it was due to seeing this unpleasant affair or for the interests of the Big Camphor Tree Base, Li Yu felt they needed to act to exterminate those scammers.
Afterward, Li Yu asked them for more details, once again verifying his suspicions. Li Yu felt fairly certain about Zhang Rufen and Liu Cunyi’s identities.
After questioning them, Li Yu turned his head and waved at Luo, signaling for him to come down, and then gestured towards the distant wall, indicating that Third Uncle and the others could reveal themselves.
As Luo and Third Uncle emerged from both sides, Ghost Head and others broke into a cold sweat.
So close.
So close to death, originally believing only Li Yu and two others were there, unexpectedly there were five people hidden in the dark.
If they had acted earlier, they’d likely be shot dead within seconds.
They narrowly escaped death!
Upon seeing Luo come down, Li Yu asked Luo to lead some people over to inspect their bags for any dangerous items, and if there were any, to remove them.
Although Liu Cunyi and Zhang Rufen’s words seemed likely to be truthful, even if they were given immediate reassurance of their benefactor, they would likely immediately submit.
Yet, caution prevails.
Until truly seeing those scammers from Lao Country, Li Yu needed to ensure these people wouldn’t jeopardize their safety.
All their firearms were taken by Li Yu, and cold weapons were also confiscated.
But after inspecting their bags, although there was some food inside, Li Yu didn’t touch it and returned it to them.
When Liu Cunyi and others obtained their recovered bags and discovered the food inside hadn’t been taken, they felt somewhat puzzled yet delighted.
In the post-apocalyptic world, the most precious thing was food.
Liu Cunyi couldn’t believe that these people in front of him weren’t coveting their food; although their firearms were taken, the gun didn’t have bullets anyway, akin to a useless stick.
In this situation, he thought it would be hard to find bullets, sometimes feeling that the gun was too heavy and a burden.
Not only was he pleasantly surprised, but even Ghost Head and others were surprised.
Liu Cunyi and others silently thanked Li Yu for his magnanimity in returning their food and bags.
Li Yu glanced at them and spoke:
"I sympathize with your plight, but right now, I can’t determine if you’re telling the truth. Later, I’ll send someone to investigate, and if we identify those scammers, confirm what you said is true, we’ll naturally let you go."
Liu Cunyi and Zhang Rufen looked at each other.
Their eyes full of disbelief, then simultaneously turned to Li Yu.
As if saying, just the few of you?
How is this different from sending yourselves to die?
Liu Cunyi hesitated, his face a bit awkward.
Li Yu, seeing his constipated expression, impatiently said.
"Speak!"
