In the past two days, Li Yu conducted an inventory of the base and told Bai Jie and the others to once again make an enhanced version of the zombie attracting potion.
Kong Shuang also gave Li Yu a list of some raw materials that needed to be used. After Li Yu read it, he copied the list to his second uncle and asked his second uncle to issue tasks for many cooperators and non-staff personnel to search.
One of the main tasks is to collect oil.
It's hard to find this stuff now, most of it has been looted.
Li Yu thought of the people from the oil village who came from the north recently. This was a coincidence.
Seizing oil and resolving key issues can be merged into one thing.
This day at noon.
Li Yu was in the duty room, looking at Li Yuan who was holding a bag of snacks like a little hamster, and said helplessly: "Yuanzi, look how fat you are. I even heard someone call you little white pig." , and eat.”
"Little white pig?" Li Yuan's eyes widened and he said angrily, "Who said that?"
Li Hang, who was watching the fun from the side, didn't mind it as a big deal and said to Li Yuan: "Hahaha, you are a flexible fat man."
Li Yuan stood up and hit Li Hang with his fist, his eyes bursting with anger.
"Li Hang, you are already a father, why are you still so unruly? Why are you acting like a child? Humph!"
Li Hang curled his lips and said mockingly: "Only children are greedy and eat snacks."
"Ahhh! Big brother, take care of the second brother. He says I am a flexible fat man."
Li Yuan collapsed. He had a round face with baby fat, but now he looked a little fatter.
"He's right." Li Yu said with a smile.
Li Yuan stamped her feet, looked at Li Yu and Li Hang and said, "I'm going to tell dad, you two are bullying me, you don't have the consciousness to be brothers at all!"
After saying that, he was about to walk out the door.
But after taking a few steps, he hurried back, picked up the snacks he had just placed on the table, and ran out.
"Hahaha." Li Yu laughed when he saw this scene.
Feeling inexplicably happy.
In the apocalypse, everyone becomes very realistic and shrewd in the cruel environment, thinking about how to survive every day.
Simple people cannot survive in this apocalypse.
But at the Da Zhangshu base, with the protection of Li Yu and others, Li Yuan was still able to maintain a little innocence, which made Li Yu feel that what he was doing was meaningful.
Li Yuan's innocence is not silly innocence, but her ability to lower her guard in front of family members like Li Yu.
She holds some power in the warehouse and has been doing a very good job.
Nowadays, she is called stingy, and she has very strict control over the entry and exit of many items.
Because Li Yuzheng saw her attitude towards doing things, he felt more confident and left her in charge.
Suddenly, a voice came from the intercom placed on the table: "I am Zhuzi, calling Da Zhangshu Base, Captain Li. They have returned from Guang City and have now arrived in Gan City."
Li Yu looked happy when he heard this.
He quickly replied: "Okay, I understand. I will follow up with them at any time."
Then he picked another channel, contacted the second uncle, the eldest uncle and others, and informed the third uncle that they were coming back soon.
Everyone was happy to know that Third Uncle and the others were coming back.
When they came back, it was announced that the steel collection mission was over.
The weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently. In May, the temperature reached 37 degrees.
At noon, it was approaching 40 degrees.
On the construction site, water mist was also turned on to cool down, otherwise everyone would easily suffer from heatstroke in the sun.
On the other side of the wall, it has almost been built, and all that is left is to put the finishing touches on it and build a watch room.
Li Yu walked out of the cool duty room, basking in the scorching sun, and went to the third outer city to check the gate again.
Sure enough, as Ding Jiu said, he hid all the wiring on the gate in the wall, making it completely invisible from the surface.
And after testing, the door switch is very sensitive.
And it is very strong. The door and the concrete wall fit tightly with almost no gaps.
Li Yu was waiting in the duty room after eating lunch.
I received news from the personnel stationed in Xincheng that Sanshu and the others had passed through Xincheng and would be able to reach the Da Zhangshu base in a few dozen minutes.
Time flies by like a white horse.
Forty minutes passed quietly.
The second uncle, the uncle, Li's father, Li's mother and others all came to the wall and stared at the road in the middle of the woods to welcome the third uncle and the others back.
boom--
Along with the roar of cars, trucks came into view.
At the front was the armored RV in which Uncle San and the others were riding, followed closely by the oil tanker driven by Xiao Jun and others.
Since they have to transport thousands of tons of steel at a time, they use a lot of vehicles. Therefore, Uncle San has to bring a tanker truck, otherwise just refueling will be a hassle.
The door opens.
The third uncle and others entered through the gate. A car loaded with steel was parked neatly.
Li Yu walked down the wall and saw his third uncle, whom he had not seen for more than 20 days.
"Third uncle." Li Yu said with a smile on his face as he looked at his third uncle getting out of the car.
The third uncle looked up and saw Li Yu and smiled: "Hahaha, I knew that when I came back this time, you must have come back from the Western League. How about it? Has the matter in the Western League been resolved? That potion What’s the effect?”
When Uncle San left the camphor tree base for the last time, Li Yu had not returned yet, so he didn't know much about Li Yu's follow-up to the Western Alliance.
Li Yu nodded and said, "It's done. The effect of the potion is very good. In addition, a lot of useful things were brought back from there, but there were too few people who went there, and there were some useful supplies that were not brought back."
Uncle San hesitated and asked, "Then should I go again?"
Li Yu shook his head and said, "No, no, Uncle San, you have been running here for almost a month, and you haven't rested in the middle. Uncle San said he wanted to go. I promised him."
Uncle San glanced at Uncle San, then at Li Yu, nodded and said, "Okay, big brother."
Then he said with a smile on his face, "That's just right, I can rest for a while, this is great. Hahaha."
Uncle San also smiled.
Li Yu then asked, "Uncle San, did you encounter any problems on this trip? Did everything go well?"
Uncle San waved his hand and said, "Nothing, just some timid flies, but they didn't cause any problems. Ignore them."
Although Li Yu was a little curious about the "flies" Uncle San mentioned, he knew it was not a powerful force when he heard Uncle San say that, so he said, "Okay, Uncle San, why don't you go and rest first? Leave these things to us to sort out."
Uncle San nodded and looked at He Chao who came out of the first outer city.
Behind him, there was a black German Shepherd.
After the German Shepherd came out of the first outer city gate, it rushed towards Ant.
As soon as Ant got off the car, he saw Xiao Hei rushing over.
With surprise on his face, he ran towards Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei bumped into Ant's arms. The big dog had a great impact, but Ant just shook slightly and caught Xiao Hei steadily.
Xiao Hei stretched out his tongue and licked Ant's face. Ant smiled and touched Xiao Hei's dog head.
"Ant, Lao Qin, Xiao Jun, Jackal, please unload your equipment. You are exhausted on this journey. Go back and rest." Uncle San shouted to them.
On the other side, Cannon, Li Tie and others came to collect their weapons and ammunition, and put them on a car with labels. These things will be collected later.
He Chaoze and Second Uncle and others checked the steel. After the inspection, they transported the steel to the second outer city.
"Mr. Li." Several people came over. They were Guo Peng, Zhu Xiao, and Xiao Hu.
Li Yu turned his head and looked at them, with a smile on his face, saying: "You have worked hard. Let's do this. You haven't stopped for these few trips. You will exchange the corresponding food first. The results of the assessment will be reported to you tomorrow. You can have a good rest tonight."
"Okay." Hearing what Li Yu said, Zhu Xiao and others nodded quickly.
Sometimes, we are not afraid of working, but we are afraid that there will be no results after working.
Even if the result is not as good as what we expect, it is worse than waiting all the time.
But Li Yu has always been very direct and straightforward to them.
This made Zhu Xiao and others admire Li Yu even more.
Later, Li Yu watched his second uncle, Li Yuan, Lao Luo and others deal with the matter of exchanging Zhu Xiao and others' contribution points for food, and then he stopped caring about it.
He believed that his second uncle and Li Yuan could do these things well.
Perhaps Li Yuan had been with his second uncle for a long time, and now he was doing things in an orderly manner and paying great attention to details.
Li Yu watched his second uncle deal with the exchange over there. Lao Qin, Ant and others greeted him and then went into the outer city to rest.
Cannon, Li Tie and others were checking steel over there, and transporting and storing it.
After someone dealt with the matters here, Li Yu looked at his third uncle.
Seeing that his third uncle was about to walk into the inner city, he took a few steps to catch up with him.
"Third uncle."
"Hmm? Xiaoyu, is there anything else?" The third uncle asked curiously.
Li Yu looked at Zhu Xiao and others behind him, and said to his uncle: "I need to ask you about Zhu Xiao's assessment. Let's go in first and talk about it."
This matter should be avoided.
Uncle San nodded, and then the two of them passed through two doors in the city wall and entered the inner city.
Click!
After entering the inner city, Uncle San lit a cigarette and said: "These few trips, about their three groups, in general, are actually good."
Li Yu listened quietly, while walking side by side with Uncle San.
"Guo Peng did not conduct a thorough inspection when he was stationed at the Guangshi Steel Plant, which led to zombies coming in in the middle of the night, but this matter cannot be blamed on him."
"I heard about this from my second uncle, this is true, in addition to this matter, are there any other things?"
Uncle San continued: "At that time, he and Zhu Xiao followed Lao Qin and others to solve some minor problems, and the completion rate was good. In addition, along the way, the deployment of personnel was remarkable.
In addition, I see that a large part of the people in their group came from Jiefangcheng. This group of people was the first to cooperate with our base, and they have a high degree of recognition for the Dazhangshu base."
"As for Zhu Xiao, this guy is a militant. Last time, he volunteered to go there to solve some people, but he was not allowed to go. But how to say it, I like this guy's temper, and he is clear about gratitude and resentment. He is very respectful of you. As for his performance in this mission, he is also more obedient to orders."
"Group 2 Xiao Hu is a more stable person. When we were filling up water on the way, he took the initiative to take on this task. The water was added at the river. He actually came up with a way to fill up all the vehicles with water."
"All in all, judging from these few trips, the people in the three groups have actually been cooperating with our base for a long time. I don't think there is anything wrong with letting them enter the outer city. Of course, the final decision rests with you , after all, you may have other considerations.”
After saying that, the third uncle put out the cigarette butt that he had finished smoking.
Li Yu nodded thoughtfully and said, "I have the same idea as you, and I am ready to let them join the outer city."
"Yeah." The third uncle didn't say anything.
After two seconds, he asked: "What are other people's opinions?"
Li Yu said: "I talked with my dad, and he thought we could let the three of them in. My eldest uncle and second uncle also thought so, but my second uncle thought at first that we still need to conduct another assessment and do a few more tasks. "
The third uncle smiled bitterly and said: "Haha, the second brother is more cautious, which is good. But Zhu Xiao and Guo Peng have done so many tasks and have been assessed for so long, so they are almost done."
Li Yu said: "Yes, there is no point in taking another assessment. Now the outer city should also inject some fresh blood."
"By the way, there are a lot of them. Is there any problem with the food pressure?"
Li Yu shook his head and said: "No problem. Even if we don't count the planting area in the third outer city, the current planting is more than enough."
"That's good." Third Uncle nodded.
While the two were talking, they had reached the residential area unknowingly.
Li Yu stopped, thought for a while and said: "A while ago, a group of people came from the north, from Nanyang. They said that a motorcycle gang appeared there. They specialize in plundering materials from other forces. Come here The group of people at the base came here on the run.”
The third uncle listened carefully. He suddenly didn't know the purpose of Li Yu's words.
"Then, what do you think?" Third Uncle asked.
Based on his understanding of Li Yu, his nephew has always been very rational and result-oriented.
You won't do something without a reason. If you do something, there must be a reason behind it.
For example, before the natural disaster, Li Yu made various preparations for people. After the natural disaster broke out, because Li Yu made preparations in advance, the loss of the base was minimized.
Therefore, in the third uncle's opinion, there must be some reason why Li Yu raised this matter now.
Li Yu was silent for a few seconds and said: "Oil, we are short of oil. The oil city in Nanyang has a complete set of equipment for refining oil, and it can continuously produce oil far away. We need oil."
The third uncle was a little surprised. He naturally knew the importance of oil, but it was still quite far from the Da Zhangshu Base to Nanyang.
If you have this time, you might as well go to Gan Province to search, you can always find some oil fields.
The third uncle thought about it and couldn't understand it for a while.
So he said: "You mean, you want to deal with the motorcycle gang over there? Put the oil city in our hands?"
Li Yu said: "It's one thing whether you have it or not, but that motorcycle gang is developing very fast, and I'm a little worried."
"However, this matter is not urgent. Yesterday, some people who fled from the north were also driven away by the motorcycle gangs.
Now, let’s build the third outer city first.
I just want to talk to my third uncle about this matter first. "
"Okay." Third uncle nodded.
The two were silent for a few seconds.
The third uncle said: "Well, I'll go back and eat something first. I almost vomited after eating solid food all the way."
Li Yu smiled and said: "Uncle Third, there are ripe watermelons in the underground plantation. Do you want to eat them?"
When the third uncle heard this, his eyes brightened.
On such a hot day, it is simply a pleasure to eat a refreshing watermelon.
So he nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I'll pick it right away. You go ahead and get busy while I pick the watermelons."
After saying that, the third uncle walked towards the underground plantation.
Li Yu shook his head with a smile.
"Uncle San is still like that, he especially likes to eat fruits."
The next day.
Early in the morning, Zhu Xiao, Guo Peng and others arrived at the Da Zhangshu base.
You can tell by the dark circles under their eyes that they haven't slept all night.
Behind them, there are many non-staff members and collaborators from other groups.
They had already heard the news that Zhu Xiao and the others were very likely to be upgraded and become members of the outer city.
Some people who were originally going to the construction site in the Third Outer City simply came over to join in the fun.
Some teams that were originally going to collect supplies outside were no longer in a hurry to go out to perform tasks, but came here to take a look.
Li Yu was a little surprised to see so many people.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems normal.
After all, for many collaborators and non-staff members, it is their expectation to enter the outer city and live a better life.
Moreover, in addition to He Chao and the others, Lao Luo, Ju Tianrui and others who joined later actually accumulated points very quickly because they completed important tasks very well.
Like non-staff members from other groups, this is the first time they have entered the outer city.
This is an exciting time.
Even if it's not them now, as long as you see others succeed, it will seem like you have succeeded too, which will at least generate a certain amount of motivation.
Li Yu is happy to see the success.
Second uncle, third uncle and others are all there.
Since there were too many people, they were allowed to enter the city.
Zhu Xiao and his friends were actually a little nervous when they saw so many people following them. They were also worried that if the people from the other two groups entered but their own group could not, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?
But everyone was watching, and it was difficult to dissuade them, so they had no choice but to accept it.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Li Yu saw that Zhu Xiao, Guo Peng, Xiao Hu and others looked nervous, and smiled and said to them: "Haha, don't be nervous."
