The dawn is breaking.
Li Yu, still resting, heard Yang Tianlongâs voice in his earpiece.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, someone has arrived outside. Northeast of your location, about two kilometers away, next to the bank."
Upon hearing this, Li Yu quickly rolled over and got up.
He hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, "Is it Gao Ru and the others? How did they get here so quickly, did they travel overnight? That shouldnât be, traveling at night is practically suicide."
Li Yu was puzzled as he glanced at his watch; it was only seven oâclock, the sun had just come up.
People who have arrived at Juzi Island at this time must have been not far from here yesterday.
Confused, Yang Tianlong spoke again, "These people look like a nearby survivor team, but Iâm not sure, we need Hai Chao to come and identify them."
"Alright, have everyone get ready, but donât act rashly. Iâll have Hai Chao come over to identify them." Li Yu replied.
After speaking, he walked out of the room.
"Tiezi, bring Hai Chao over." Li Yu walked over to Li Tie and said.
Li Tie heard this and didnât ask why, immediately entering a side room.
Li Yu went to the balcony, holding the telescope toward the location Yang Tianlong mentioned.
Through the telescope, he saw a minibus slowly heading toward Juzi Island.
A cold light flashed in Li Yuâs eyes.
Footsteps sounded behind him; he turned his head to see Li Tie and Dapao bringing over a man, who turned out to be Hai Chao.
He had dark circles under his eyes, seemingly not having rested well yesterday.
Li Yu placed the telescope in front of him and said, "Take a look, is it your people, the ones you mentioned going to the Western Alliance headquarters, Gao Ru and the others."
Hai Chao had been highly tense all night, from yesterday morning till now he hadnât had a drop of water, his eyes were blurry, and his legs were weak.
Listening to the words of this killer before him, he didnât resist; from yesterday till today, he had been driven insane by the torture. If he didnât comply, the punishment Dapao gave him was excruciating.
He leaned forward to look in that direction.
A minibus covered in graffiti.
As the vehicle drew nearer, he was able to see some people inside.
One young-looking man with long hair, the tips dyed a garish purple, while the new growth was black.
Another wearing a white hat, with a lip piercing, dressed entirely in black.
...
They all looked fairly young, with a sense of rebellious youth.
But he didnât recognize any of them.
He pulled his head back, took his gaze away from the telescope, and said to Li Yu, "I donât recognize them, Iâve never seen them."
Li Yu continued looking at those people through the telescope.
As they got closer, he could clearly see their faces and outfits, a look he often saw before Doomsday but was seeing for the first time during Doomsday.
Compared to the people killed at Juzi Island yesterday, they seemed not to be the same group.
Besides, Gao Ru is Gan Shangâs brother-in-law, Gan Shang is already in his sixties, so Gao Ru should be in his thirties.
Moreover, Gao Ru and his group went out with over a dozen people, yet on this minibus, there were only six or seven.
"Itâs probably not them," Li Yu murmured.
Beside him, Dapao was also holding a telescope, watching the minibus head toward the Yingpan Road tunnel.
He said to Li Yu, "Brother Yu, what do we do? Theyâre going to Juzi Island, should we chase them away or deal with them?"
Dapao made a throat-slitting gesture.
Currently, no one knows where Gao Ru and the others are. If these people donât leave before Gao Ru returns, it will affect our plan.
"Donât chase them away; if we chase them away, theyâll notice us. Donât let them notice us. Letâs see if they leave on their own." Li Yu hesitated for a long while before making this decision.
He didnât want to kill them, but his repressed killing intent almost got the better of him.
Theyâre just passersby, it would be best if they left by themselves.
Li Yu thought to himself.
"Really hope they donât enter Juzi Island!" Li Yu thought internally.
But a minute later, Li Yu had to think differently.
The group disappeared from the Yingpan Road tunnel, instead of going straight through it, they entered Juzi Island.
The minibus appeared on Juzi Island.
Dapao said helplessly, "Brother Yu, theyâve discovered the situation at Juzi Island. Looks like they were headed there directly. I just saw, they didnât detour, they went straight there."
Li Tie was also a bit hesitant, worryingly said, "Bro, this is troublesome. If we let them go, theyâve already seen whatâs at Juzi Island. If they meet Gao Ru on the road, will it affect our plan?"
Dapao nodded in agreement, "Yeah, neither driving them away nor letting them roam there is a good idea. Itâs a bit of a problem."
....
Three Uncleâs voice came over the walkie-talkie, "Xiao Yu, a minibus has appeared on Juzi Island. It doesnât seem like itâs people from Gao Ruâs side."
Li Yu thought for a moment, holding the walkie-talkie said, "Just had Hai Chao come to identify them, itâs probably not Gao Ruâs people."
