Chapter 307: Early Preparation (29)
North of Xincheng, National Highway 319.
Big camphor tree base.
During the last dinner party, Lao Xie and the others were all surprised by the big camphor tree in the center of the base. They joked that we should just call it the big camphor tree base.
Later, Li Yu thought about it and felt it was pretty good, so he called it that.
Under the warm sun, except for the staff on duty, no one else came out. They either stayed in their rooms or in the underground planting base.
Li Yu got up early in the morning. The weather is really cold now. The temperature is more than 20 degrees below zero. If you can't go out, don't go out.
Huhuhu~
In the underground gym, Li Yu, who had just run seven kilometers, got off the treadmill, wiped his sweat with a towel, and drank slowly.
"Brother, my second uncle just came to find you." Li Yuan stood on the stairs and said to Li Yu.
"Okay, got it." Li Yu went directly to the bathroom next to the gym and took a hot shower.
After taking a shower, Li Yu dried his hair and put on thick clothes, from thermal underwear to a jacket and finally a coat outside.
Putting on a black woolen hat, Li Yu walked out of the house.
My second uncle is on duty today. Even when he is not on duty, he often stays at the gate.
In the duty room, the door opened wide, and Li Yu came in with cold air.
Li Yu quickly closed the door: "Second uncle, you are looking for me."
Just as he was talking, he saw his third uncle sitting there, and added: "Third uncle."
The second uncle stood up and moved a stool next to Li Yu for him to sit on.
"Your third uncle and I were also talking about something today, which was the Mr. Wang who escaped when you were in Heyuan before." The second uncle said.
"Well, I know. There's nothing we can do about it. Mr. Wang ran too fast after all. It's so cold now that it's hard for us to go out and look for him." Li Yu thought for a while and said.
The second uncle nodded, and he continued: "Yes, I just told your third uncle about this matter. Your third uncle said before that Mr. Wang was almost found at that time, and a bunch of zombies came out from behind, so he had to retreat. ”
"What your third uncle means is that you want to go out there and look for some time. There are hidden dangers, and I believe you feel uncomfortable too." The second uncle sighed and said.
Li Yu's expression wasn't very good either. This Mr. Wang was stuck in his throat like a fish bone. He was able to prepare to run away in advance. He was so cautious and planned. It can be seen that Mr. Wang is an extremely difficult person to deal with.
Moreover, Mr. Wang probably knew their approximate location. Now that the ground was dark and the sky was clear, this feeling made everyone very uncomfortable.
"Well, I've thought about this too, but the weather is so cold now. It's still too dangerous for you, Uncle San, to go out." Li Yu said with a sigh.
Since December, the temperature has continued to drop, just like November. Now it has reached minus 25 degrees, and can even reach minus 30 degrees at night.
Once the temperature reaches minus 35 degrees, ordinary cars are easily frozen and cannot be started without preheating.
What's more, the distance is so far, hundreds of kilometers, the journey is long, and after such a long time, finding this person is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it takes a lot of effort.
The second uncle also said: "I was also trying to persuade your third uncle just now. It's such a cold day, such a long distance, and such a long time has passed. There's really no need to go out and look for it now. It's better to wait until the weather warms up to go out and take a look. But that's it. Damn, it’s been so long.”
Li Yu breathed a long sigh of relief: "Then let's wait and see what happens. Right now we still have to strengthen ourselves."
Since Lao Xie and others joined, their overall strength has become much stronger, and they also have so many firearms and ammunition.
But facing various unknown threats, alarm bells rang in Li Yu's minds.
The base has grown from more than 20 people and a few guns at the beginning to more than 90 people now, and more than 80 people can fight with guns.
In Li Yu's memory, even in the apocalypse a few years later, this was already a small and medium-sized team. With all of them armed with guns, they were already considered a powerful force!
In his memory, many larger forces collapsed after experiencing natural disasters such as heavy rains, droughts, and snowstorms, as well as zombie attacks, coupled with the food crisis. Spread into small groups.
But even so, long-term plans must be made. Now that the staff expansion has reached a bottleneck, it is not good to blindly recruit people who do not know the details.
So without increasing the number, we can only improve the quality of personnel.
So Li Yu started a new round of personnel quality plan in the training base. Although the temperature is so low now, it is still very warm indoors. There is even a specific area open to everyone for fighting training.
The other side.
Eastern city fringe.
Safe city.
After two days of inquiring, Mr. Wang has almost figured out the details of this safe city.
As the man with missing teeth I met a few days ago said:
The strongest one here is Wu Jianguo. The people who led the original troops have the smallest number, less than fifty people, but they have the most guns and the strongest strength!
Then there is another gang of gangsters, with hundreds of people and more than twenty people, who have been secretly fighting Wu Jianguo.
There is another group of people led by a business owner. They also have more than a dozen guns and the most supplies. They are between the black forces and Wu Jianguo.
The last force has the largest number of people, more than a thousand people, and is composed of various small groups of ordinary survivors. They are considered to be a group for warmth, but they are not harmonious internally and are the weakest.
Among these forces, Wu Jianguo is in charge of the control of the entire base, but in this, many times, the black forces headed by Hua Chuanlong and Ke Hanyu sometimes get together, which gives Wu Jianguo a headache.
The forces of the four parties occasionally have some friction and undercurrents.
But they are well controlled. Although there have been several bloody incidents, there has been no large-scale conflict and struggle.
As the weakest party, the survivor alliance forces often play the role of being ignored.
Mr. Wang has only heard these for the time being. For these news, he has consumed two packs of biscuits.
"The fourth party force must not be considered. It is too weak and there is no need to join." Mr. Wang thought.
"Although Wu Jianguo and his team are the most powerful, do I have a chance if I join them?"
"If I join this black power team headed by Hua Chuanlong, what can I bring to them?"
"What can I use to attract them?"
At any time, if you want to get a position or achieve a goal, you must figure out what the other party wants, and then use benefits to drive them to cooperate with you, so that the other party can get what he wants while also satisfying your needs.
Mr. Wang was thinking alone in the room on the second floor.
