Li Yu found it even stranger upon hearing.

Gasoline can be used for heating, lighting, and also as fuel for vehicles.

Grain and gasoline, both are extremely important in the Doomsday.

And yet they were burned just like that.

Under what circumstances would someone do such a thing?

Li Yu and Third Uncle had countless doubts in their hearts, and all the answers were in the hands of Gao Ru, who was in Dapao’s car.

Li Yu looked at the vehicles around them.

Aside from the two overturned pickup trucks, the remaining SUV and two trucks were not severely damaged.

So he said to Third Uncle, "Let’s take the trucks back, it would be a waste to leave them behind."

Third Uncle nodded and said, "Yes, indeed."

Then Li Yu returned to the car.

In the car.

Dapao said to Li Yu, "Brother Yu, where are we heading now? Should we go back to that building upstairs?"

Li Yu looked at the sky; the sun was setting.

Instead of staying in the city, they might as well head to the suburbs. He recalled the site they visited in the outskirts when they first arrived in Sha City a few days ago.

So he said, "Contact Li Gang and have him bring Hai Chao and the others down, and gather at the Chaozong Sect. Also, let everyone else gather there."

Dapao nodded, then took out a walkie-talkie to start contacting the scattered people.

The day was almost over, and traveling at night would be too dangerous, so they had to stay in Sha City for another night.

After explaining everything, Li Yu looked at the man tied to the chair.

He stepped forward and tore off the tape from Gao Ru’s mouth.

Looking at him coldly, he said, "You are Gao Ru, right?"

Gao Ru felt uneasy when he heard Li Yu mention Hai Chao.

How did Li Yu know Hai Chao’s name? Could it be that his guess was right and Juzi Island had already fallen?

His mind was in chaos, and he didn’t immediately answer Li Yu’s question.

Seeing his expression, Li Yu grew impatient and drew a dagger from his thigh.

The dagger gleamed with a chilling light.

Seeing Li Yu’s actions, Gao Ru immediately said, "Yes, I’m Gao Ru."

Li Yu nodded slightly and continued, "You came from the Western Alliance headquarters. What’s the situation over there? Weren’t you supposed to bring back food? Why did you return with two truckloads of rice husks? What happened at the Western Alliance headquarters?"

Gao Ru looked at Li Yu with some caution. His earlier suspicions were now fully confirmed.

Transporting food back from the Western Alliance headquarters was only known by those on Juzi Island like Gan Shang, and no outsiders could possibly know.

Now that Li Yu mentioned Hai Chao, Gao Ru was even more certain that these people had already taken over Juzi Island...

Thinking of this, Gao Ru was filled with anger.

He opened his mouth, trying to spit at Li Yu.

Li Yu was watching him closely and swung his dagger as Gao Ru opened his mouth.

Slap—

Gao Ru’s spit landed on the face of the subordinate sitting next to him.

His subordinate looked at Gao Ru with resentment, unable to wipe it off with his hands tied.

Li Yu was furious, but he knew there was still much information to extract from him, so he couldn’t kill him yet.

So he put the tape back on and covered Gao Ru’s head with a worn-out burlap sack.

Interrogation was not his strong suit, and he lacked the patience for it.

There were too many questions to ask, and he feared killing Gao Ru by accident.

So he said to Dapao, "You’ll interrogate him later, make sure to keep good records. Don’t be too gentle with your methods; he needs some tough treatment."

Dapao replied with a sinister smile, "Alright, I love doing this stuff."

Just then, he saw the person sitting next to Gao Ru trying to rub his face against the glass.

He shouted, "Don’t rub it, or if you get saliva on the glass, I’ll castrate you later."

The man was heartbroken and endured the stench of the saliva, closing his eyes.

However, with his eyes closed, his other senses became more acute.

He could feel the wetness of the saliva still dripping down.

Li Yu found this scene disgusting.

He picked up a dirty rag from the ground, wiped the man’s face, and threw it out of the car.

....

Meanwhile.

Having received the notification from Dapao, Li Gang started packing up, preparing to head downstairs.

After packing, he went to the small room.

Seeing Hai Chao and the others with sunken eyes, they seemed like they hadn’t eaten or slept for days.

He said to them, "Let’s go, your friends are here."

Hai Chao was puzzled when he heard it; he was so hungry that his brain was functioning slower.

They took everything from the building without leaving anything behind.

Ju Tianrui, Xiao Jun, and others also received Dapao’s notification, although they were quite a distance away.

Having just heard a few gunshots from afar and not yet approached, they received Dapao’s notification to gather at the Chaoyang Sect.

It seemed the battle was over.

They hadn’t even participated yet, but they could only head to the Chaoyang Sect in resignation.

At the Chaoyang Sect.

Li Yu, Yang Tianlong, Third Uncle, and others were waiting for Li Gang and Ju Tianrui.

Five minutes later.

Li Gang and others finally arrived with Hai Chao and the three of them.

Li Gang and the others noticed that Li Yu and the others now had two more trucks and asked with some confusion, "Big bro, what’s on these trucks?"

"Rice husks. I don’t know the specifics of how they got here, but let’s withdraw first. It’s getting late. Let’s hurry to Ma Town, the place where we first set up camp in Sha City."
