In fact, the two sides didn't engage in a firefight upon meeting.
The main reason was the disparity in numbers. On Lu Xiang's side, there were only four people, three of whom were weaklings who had barely held guns before, let alone hit a fixed target.
This trip also revealed Song Lan's weaknesses to Lu Xiang - she couldn't drive or shoot.
As a Law Enforcer, these are essential skills. Lu Xiang planned to personally instruct Song Lan once they returned to District 17.
Considering that the truck Lyu Feng was driving was parked nearby, Lu Xiang didn't open fire voluntarily to avoid it getting blown up by a missile. She merely stood next to the bonfire, gun in hand, waiting for the regular troops of the Barrosa Group to surround them.
"Report to the commander, there are no ambushes around."
It wasn't long before the intelligence team had swept the area and reported back.
