Chapter 716 A Huge Surprise

Big camphor tree base.

At the construction site of the Third Outer City, Lao Dong put forward many opinions on the electric truck that was being perfected, which benefited Zhang San and several others a lot.

By the time he finished speaking, nearly half an hour had passed.

During this period, Li Yu has been struggling with how the old director should handle it.

At present, Zhang San has initially proved his strength through the electric lift and this electric truck. Although he is not a top talent, he is still in urgent need of it in the base.

And Lao Dong is even more remarkable. With his qualifications and abilities, he can fully satisfy the core role of the person who wants to establish an electric power research institute.

But should this person start as a cooperator, or would it be more appropriate to let him directly enter the outer city.

If we just start with the cooperation staff, after all, we are not in the outfield. What if he runs away one day.

But if he is allowed to enter the outer city directly, how will Dongfeng and others deal with it.

Li Yu thought a lot during this period, and finally wanted to take one step at a time.

After Old Dong finished speaking, Li Gang also walked out of the urn.

"Brother, the second uncle and Ju Tianrui have already explained the general situation in our base to those people. They all want to stay." Li Gang approached Li Yu and whispered.

Li Yu nodded and then asked: "Do they know that they want to join us and start working as collaborators?"

Li Gang said: "They know that what Second Uncle means is that they are not familiar with this place now and have no transportation. He wants them to directly participate in the construction of the Third Outer City in exchange for food." And points, he asked what your opinion was."

This idea coincides with Li Yu's plan. So he said: "Okay, I understand, I'm done here, and I'll be back with this old director right away."

Li Gang did not leave, but followed Li Yu like Cannon.

"Old Dong, come here." Li Yu shouted towards Old Dong.

When the old director heard this, he immediately ran towards Li Yu.

"Mr. Li, please call me." Old Dong stood next to Li Yu with his face slightly arched and said.

"Let me tell you briefly about the rules of Da Zhangshu Base. The base is divided into four levels. The last level is cooperative personnel, followed by non-staff personnel, outer city personnel, and finally inner city personnel. Under normal circumstances, all You need to perform some tasks and make some contributions, such as collecting supplies, building materials, etc., in order to redeem food and upgrade points.

Most of the people on this construction site now are cooperators with the Da Zhangshu Base. By helping to build the third outer city, they get some food and points every day.

After upgrading to non-staff personnel, there will be a guaranteed amount of food every month. Even if the mission is not performed temporarily, it will be distributed every month, but you must completely obey the orders of the Da Zhangshu Base.

"

Li Yu introduced him to the situation of Da Zhangshu Base while taking him back to Wengcheng.

The old director was thoughtful, listening carefully to Li Yu's introduction, and nodding in agreement from time to time.

After Li Yu said this, they were almost at the gate.

Li Yu turned his head and said to Lao Dong: "What do you think? Do you want to stay?"

Lao Dong said without hesitation: "Of course, of course I want to stay."

There is no free lunch in the world. In this apocalyptic world, no one will give you precious food for no reason. There is a price to pay for anything you do.

Only by giving can you gain something.

If the Da Zhangshu Base gives them free food, although from the perspective of Lao Dong, he will be very happy, but he will also worry that if the Da Zhangshu Base can go far enough and keep raising people for free, sooner or later it will collapse.

However, the four levels Li Yu talked about with him actually solved this problem very well.

Food can be given to you, but you must give the Big Camphor Tree Base its due value.

I heard that Lao Dong agreed without hesitation.

Li Yu was in a good mood.

"Okay." Li Yu nodded to Lao Dong with a smile in his eyes.

When several people entered the Wengcheng, Li Yu saw the happy expressions on Dongfeng's and others' faces. It seemed that they were quite satisfied with their status as partners.

Although they lack food, what they want more is hope, the hope of seeing the future.

Even if they become partners, the Da Zhangshu Base will not directly give them food. Even if they don't find the supplies or don't pay, there will be no food. However, the Da Zhangshu base gave them hope.

It can be said that a big pie has been drawn, but many people have eaten this pie, including those who did not starve to death, as well as those who have transitioned from non-staff personnel to the outer city, and from the outer city to the inner city. That's the example.

Examples that really happened before our eyes.

When Li Yu walked into Wengcheng, his second uncle said to him: "I have roughly told them that they are willing to stay and cooperate with the Da Zhangshu Base."

"Yeah." Li Yu nodded.

Then he turned his head and said to Dongfeng and others: "Very good, you are welcome at Da Zhangshu Base. Let's do this. I will send someone to help you find a house nearby later. And you just arrived today, so take a rest first, and we will go directly tomorrow." You can go to the construction site and start working. You can take care of food for a day, and you can redeem certain points. Are there any questions?"

Dongfeng said with satisfaction: "No problem, no problem. Thank you."

If we ask, among Dongfeng and Wanbo, who is the most satisfied with the Dazhangshu Base after Ju Tianrui's explanation.

It is not Wanbo, nor Lao Dong, but Dongfeng.

He led a team of thousands of people, so he knows how much pressure there is, food pressure, pressure to resist zombies, and pressure in management.

But after listening to the four-level system of the Dazhangshu Base and some rules to be followed in the base, he suddenly realized.

Why did they have so many people at the beginning, but now only so many people are left.

Apart from factors such as geography and walls, there is another biggest problem, the problem of system.

To feed so many people, if they are evenly distributed, the pressure of food can crush them.

But if we follow the rules of the Dazhangshu Base, use the least food, attract more manpower, and do the biggest things.

Such a base can last and go further.

Dongfeng is very satisfied.

As long as he can survive, it doesn't matter if he starts from the cooperative personnel step by step.

Lao Dong also returned to his family at some point.

He thought that he and Dongfeng would go out together to find a house nearby, and then go to the construction site together to work in exchange for food.

To be honest, he was quite satisfied.

Li Yu looked at Dongfeng and said, "Your name is Dongfeng, right?"

"Yes."

"You used to be an artillery platoon leader in the Jiangnan Artillery Brigade?" Li Yu asked again.

"Yes, City Lord."

"Okay, good, then you should lead them to do a good job first. You have experience in artillery, which is very good." Li Yu said with a smile.

Dongfeng didn't know how to answer Li Yu, so he nodded.

Li Yu looked past Dongfeng and looked at Lao Dong behind him. After a little thought, he pulled his second uncle aside and talked about his ideas.

"Second uncle, Lao Dong, we must keep this person in our hands." Li Yu said slowly with a firm look in his eyes.

The second uncle turned his head, glanced at Dongfeng, pinched the walnut in his clothes, and said, "Xiaoyu, what do you think?"

"Let him enter the outer city directly as a special person. Also, let his family come in together."

The second uncle had expected it, and there was no surprise. After all, he knew how much Li Yu wanted a top power expert recently.

Now that he has been handed over, he naturally cannot leave.

"I have no problem, and it is just entering the outer city, and there is no need to vote through the inner city meeting. You can make the decision. The key is whether this old boss has the ability. This is the key point." The second uncle thought for a while and said so.

After hearing what the second uncle said, Li Yu told the second uncle about the scene he had just seen with the old boss at the construction site of the third outer city.

Upon hearing this, the second uncle was amazed and said, "It seems that this old boss is really capable, but what about Zhang San? How should he be dealt with? After all, he has at least made some contributions. He has made the elevator and is now working on the electric truck. He hasn't even entered the outer city yet."

Li Yu was mainly thinking about this question on the road just now, and he already had a rough answer.

"Now Zhang San is still busy at the construction site of the third outer city. After all, it is a construction site, and it is not very convenient to do research and modification. So, let Zhang San and his daughter come in.

Let Zhang San and this old boss work together with He Bing, Zhou Ran and Xiao Hang to study together."

The second uncle frowned, hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't this too fast? Will it make other partners feel unfair?"

Li Yu also frowned.

After a long time, his brows relaxed.

He patted his thigh.

He suddenly realized that with more people in the base, there were many more issues to consider.

It seemed a bit hesitant.

Always thinking about fairness and considering the mood and emotions of many partners and non-staff members.

However, whether it is before or during the apocalypse.

There is no absolute fairness.

This is a matter of mutual consent. If you have the ability, then you should show it.

Besides, the camphor tree base itself does not owe those partners and non-staff members.

To put it cruelly, as long as you do not enter the outer city, it is just a cooperative relationship.

Their life and death have nothing to do with the camphor tree base.

So, why should you care too much about their feelings when you do things yourself.

Li Yu shook his head and said to his second uncle with self-mockery: "Second uncle, we don't need to care too much about them. It's unfair. If they have the ability, they can show their ability. There is no absolute fairness."

The second uncle was shocked, and he also felt that he had been somewhat restricted recently.

Realizing this at this time, a few seconds later.

He said to Li Yu: "You are right."

Li Yu always remembered the reason why he built the camphor tree base.

Protect family and friends and live well in the apocalypse.

His ambition is not that big, and he cannot save the whole world.

Even if the camphor tree base becomes bigger and bigger in the future, this center point will not change.

If he has to sacrifice one of his family members or friends to help a hundred people.

Then he would rather let those hundred people die.

He is not so great that he would give away all his food to help others and let his family and friends starve.

He is also willing to help other people if he has enough spare time and strong enough abilities.

However, it is established without harming one's own interests.

He had seen too many tragic people in his previous life. He obviously didn't have such powerful abilities, but in the end he persisted and rescued more people. As a result, his family and friends died in the chaos.

As time goes by, in this apocalyptic world, no one remembers his kindness. On the contrary, due to profit factors, those who have been saved by him have turned against him.

Human nature is inherently evil, especially in this cruel and chaotic end of the world.

Therefore, although there are many people, it is difficult to manage and it is easy to look forward and backward.

But don't get too limited.

At this point, due to the recent expansion of the base, the feeling of being restrained by Li Yu, Er Shu and others has completely disappeared.

After the two agreed, they walked towards Dongfeng and the others.

Li Yu glanced at his second uncle, who motioned for him to speak.

So Li Yu said to Old Dong: "Old Dong, Da Zhangshu Base needs talents like you, so we have specially approved that you can bypass the status of collaborators and non-staff personnel and directly join the status of personnel from outer cities. Of course, Your family can also come in. I hope you can do a good job and achieve great results."

As soon as this statement came out.

Old Dong was confused. Not only was he confused, Ju Tianrui and others were also a little shocked.

But when I think about it carefully, it seems natural.

When I first came in, I came in faster than some of the outside collaborators.

There are many non-staff personnel and even collaborators who have come into contact with the Da Zhangshu Base earlier than myself.

In this Da Zhangshu base, if there are no people with special skills, they can only do tasks well and slowly accumulate contribution points.

But if you have some ability, it is normal to be faster.

This is the same before the end of the world.

Why some people who are younger than you can be your leader? Except for some people who rely on connections, most people are because they have enough ability.

In this world, you still have to look at your true abilities.

After Liu Youguang and others heard what Li Yu said, they looked at Lao Dong with some envy.

In their eyes, Lao Dong has ascended to the sky.

After a while, Lao Dong woke up from this huge surprise. His wife and children beside him all looked excited.

Happiness comes too suddenly.

Old Dong looked at Dongfeng with some hesitation. Anyway, they had supported each other along the way, and he actually wanted to continue to be with Dongfeng and the others.

But to be with Dongfeng and the others, we must start with the collaborators. If we want to enter the outer city, we don't know how long it will take.

And food is not guaranteed.

You must know that after Li Yu's description just now, he is already very clear about the difference in treatment enjoyed by cooperators of the Da Zhangshu Base and those from outside the city.

He was very torn, and now he agreed directly. It looked like he had abandoned Dongfeng and the others, which didn't look good.

However, when he saw his wife and children, his desire to join the outer city completely tilted away.

Dongfeng was also surprised when he saw Lao Dong hesitate.

Feeling slightly relieved, I thought about it and said to Old Dong: "Old Dong, take advantage of such a good opportunity and don't be stressed. Besides, we will work hard to complete the task in the future and we will always come in again."

Although Liu Youguang is envious, his relationship with Lao Dong's family is really good.

He also opened his mouth to persuade: "Yes, Old Dong, if I had such a good opportunity, I would agree directly. Why are you hesitating?"

Wan Bo, who was beside him, also said with a smile: "Old Dong, you can go ahead."

Others also tried to persuade him.

These people have gone through many hardships and have a good relationship with each other. Unlike some teams in the apocalypse, there is not much intrigue in their team. On the contrary, the atmosphere is pretty good. They were even bitten and hacked by zombies during that important period. Even though his hand was broken, they still didn't abandon him.

Perhaps it is for this reason that they have been able to persist until now.

Seeing everyone saying this, Lao Dong became even more hesitant.

Seeing this situation, Li Yu was a little surprised that the team atmosphere among them was so good.

This is very rare to see in the last days.

He didn't rush the old director. Although he was needed in the base, he didn't have to ask for it.

He has made a good offer, and the specific decision depends on him.

for a long time.

Old Dong raised his head, bowed to Dongfeng and others, and said solemnly: "I, Old Dong, thank you, Boss Dongfeng, for taking care of me along the way."

Dongfeng saw him like this and knew that he had made his choice. Although I was happy for him, I was still a little reluctant inside.

So he pretended to be generous and said: "It's okay, you can take your family with you."

Other Wan Bo and others also spoke one after another.

Old Dong took a breath and said to Li Yu: "Mr. Li, I am willing to join."

Li Yu nodded lightly and said to the old Dong: "It's not about life and death. One of the tasks I'll give you later is also around the construction of the third outer city. Let's see if adjustments can be made in terms of electricity. You can still do it later. Meet.”

After hearing this, the old director said: "I understand, I will definitely do a good job."

Li Yu waved his hand and said to Dongfeng and others: "Okay, then I will let someone take you to find a place to live."

"He Chao." Li Yu shouted.

He Chao hurried over from the gate of the city wall.

"Take them outside and find an uninhabited house. They know Sha Wenji's group, right? Let Sha Wenji take them later." Li Yu said.

He Chao looked at Dongfeng and others and took a look.

Then he said to Li Yu: "I understand. I'll take them there now."

"Well, go ahead." Li Yu said to Dongfeng again: "Just follow him."

At this time, Li Tie and others also took the things that Dongfeng and others handed over and handed them over.

Li Yu said to Ju Tianrui again: "Take Lao Dong and his family to find a place to sleep in the first outer city and introduce them to him."

"Lao Dong, you rest first. I'll tell you about the next task later." Li Yu said to Lao Dong again.

"Okay." Lao Dong nodded.

Soon, Lao Dong said goodbye to Dongfeng and others, and He Chao took Dongfeng and others to the outside of the city wall.

Lao Dong's family also carried their luggage and followed Ju Tianrui and others to the first outer city.

After they all left, Li Yu remembered that there was another Zhang San, so he said to his second uncle: "Second uncle, talk to Zhang San. I remember that Zhang San has a daughter. You can let him bring his daughter in."

The second uncle said that it was no problem.

After dealing with all this, Li Yu walked towards the first outer city.

Asking for monthly tickets
