Chapter 1676 - 928: Thorough Investigation to the End, Whistleblowing Storm!
Inside and outside the Satellite City.
Hundreds of corpses, blood everywhere.
Old Bi and others drove the pickup truck out of the Satellite City and then loaded these bodies onto the truck.
It’s already dusk now, and the corpses must be cleaned up quickly, or else they will attract many zombies tonight.
These corpses were thrown onto the truck like garbage, then transported to a ditch seven or eight kilometers away.
While Old Bi and the others cleaned up, the cooperative personnel inside and outside the Fifth Satellite City, whether old or recently from the Southwest, were in a state of panic, caught in endless fear.
...
Inside the prefab house.
Xiao Ye looked out with a face full of horror, watching Old Bi and the others handle the bodies on the ground.
"This, this, luckily we didn’t go out, were they just killed directly?" Xiao Ye was in disbelief.
Beside him, Noble Consort also found it hard to believe.
"Old Huang, you were right, this is considered an all-out cleaning, isn’t it?"
Old Huang shook his head, pointing outside at those who were escorted in, those stripped bare, and Gongsun Jing taken down from the wall.
"It’s not over yet; next, Big Camphor Tree Base’s attitude towards cooperative personnel may undergo huge changes.
However, for us, it’s actually a good thing. The bigger the impact this time, the more point contribution we might gain.
If the point contribution is large enough, we could become extra staff."
Hearing Old Huang say this, Noble Consort and Xiao Ye had stars in their eyes as they looked at him.
Being able to become extra staff means being able to receive a small amount of food every month.
Though the quantity is small, it is still a safeguard, ensuring they won’t starve to death.
After all, going out to collect materials as cooperative personnel is not stable.
Sometimes they find what Big Camphor Tree Base needs, but many times they don’t, and not finding means no points, hence no food exchange.
Around the Fifth Satellite City, those from the Southwest who didn’t join this protest activity were already in chaos.
"Killing, killing people, do you think we might be next? Will they deal with us afterward?!"
"What’s with the wild thoughts, we’re not part of that riot; don’t worry, it’s fine."
"Is it really fine? That guy surnamed Qiu asked for me a few times, although I refused every time, but I don’t know if this will affect..."
"..."
"When did he ask you? How come I didn’t know?"
"About a week ago, I didn’t take it seriously and forgot."
"Let’s keep some distance for a while recently..."
...
People’s minds vary; among them, some cooperative personnel were scared and decided to pack up and run away before night falls.
But it’s already four or five in the afternoon, even if they run, they won’t get far.
Inside the Satellite City.
Zzzzzz——
Uncle suddenly heard the sound of static coming from the walkie-talkie.
"This is Li Yu, Guo Peng, I’m 20 kilometers away from the Fifth Satellite City, can reach you in 15 minutes."
Guo Peng naturally also received the message from the walkie-talkie, hesitatingly glanced at the Defense Director, debating whether to report what had just happened.
Seeing him like this, Uncle said, "I’ll respond; you handle the corpses outside quickly."
"Okay." Guo Peng breathed a sigh of relief and left Uncle’s side to move the Satellite City’s corpses away.
Uncle slowly picked up the walkie-talkie:
"Xiao Yu, it’s me."
Li Yu recognized Uncle’s voice upon hearing it, glanced at his watch, calculated the protest activity, it should be almost over.
So he asked:
"Uncle, is the protest activity resolved?"
Upon hearing the words, Uncle remained silent for a few seconds and did not immediately answer.
Feeling something was amiss, Li Yu pressed further: "Uncle? Did something happen?"
Uncle finally began to speak slowly:
"Accidents occurred; some cooperative personnel secretly hid guns, two were injured, He Chao is seriously injured, life and death unknown, Xiao Hang took them to Big Camphor Tree Base for treatment."
"What?" Li Yu exclaimed in shock.
He never expected there would be casualties in this protest activity.
After all, whether equipment or experience, they had an overwhelming advantage.
Particularly hearing He Chao’s serious injury, Li Yu was outraged.
He Chao was the first among all Outer City personnel to qualify to enter the Inner City, and he was most loyal to Li Yu.
"At the time, he was shielding Li Hang from gunfire, and was accidentally shot in the back." Uncle thought for a moment, deciding it was appropriate to tell Li Yu.
Upon hearing this sentence, Li Yu tightly gripped the cup in his hand.
Crack—
The steel material cup in his hand was instantly squeezed into a clump, stunning Li Tie and others nearby who heard the sound.
This steel material, how much strength does it take to squeeze it into a clump?
"What about those cooperative personnel involved in the protest? Are they all dead?" Li Yu asked through gritted teeth.
Uncle replied:
"No, there are about ten people left; originally, Old Bi wanted to kill them all, but was stopped by Li Hang."
"Not all dead? Good!"
Li Yu looked at the increasingly familiar scenery outside the window and spoke:
"We’re about to arrive, Uncle, let’s leave it at that."
