The third uncle was leading Haoran, Haoxian and Wang Dong on patrol on the outer wall of the northern border city.
Suddenly, he received a message from Lao Xie: "Minister, the city lord of the headquarters base has something to do with you. It seems to be urgent. Where are you now?"
The third uncle paused when he heard the voice on the intercom.
Then he pressed the intercom on his chest and said:
"Got it, come back now."
As he spoke, he said to Haoran Haoxian and the others behind him:
"You guys continue to patrol, follow the method I taught you before."
After saying that, he hurriedly climbed down from the outer city wall and walked towards the inner city.
Along the way, he was thinking about what would happen if Li Yu came to see him at this time.
Is there something wrong with that military base?
When he received the news that Li Yu had discovered the military base the day before yesterday, he was extremely happy to have harvested so many supplies.
If you can’t guess correctly, just don’t guess anymore.
soon.
He then arrived at the conference room above the city lord's palace in the inner city.
Originally there was a liaison office here, but they didn't have enough people, so we didn't use it at all.
The liaison office and meeting place were merged into one place.
"minister."
"minister."
There were two people, Lao Xie and Xiao Wu, in the conference room. Xiao Wu was dedicated to receiving news from the headquarters base next to the military radio station in case he missed it. As for Lao Xie, he happened to be here.
The third uncle nodded to the two of them and walked over.
Da Ma Jin Dao sat directly on the chair that Lao Xie gave up.
Putting on the headset, the third uncle said:
"I'm Li Hongqian, please answer when you receive it."
Li Yu, who was in the inner city of Da Zhangshu Base, heard this and said quickly:
"Third uncle, you are finally here. My second uncle is also here. My uncle is also in place at the Wu City military base. The four of us are having a private meeting."
When the third uncle heard the word "private", he immediately understood what Li Yu meant.
After looking on both sides, he said to Xiao Wu and Lao Xie: "You go ahead and do your work first."
Lao Xie and the two didn't waste any time and quickly left the conference room, closing the door of the conference room considerately.
When Yuan Zhi built the City Lord's Mansion, it was before the end of the world. He was very rich, so he spent a lot of money to build the City Lord's Mansion. Even the door of this conference room was made with heavy money and was very sealed.
There is no sound inside at all from the outside.
"Okay, tell me."
On the other side, the uncle was sitting in the helicopter, and he was the only one in the helicopter.
Li Yu heard that his third uncle was ready, so he said:
"Yesterday, Qingyuan divined a hexagram and wrote a little poem..."
"I came back in a hurry today and asked him about it. I learned that in about 20 days, there will be a thunderstorm natural disaster that will last from two months to six months; at the same time, there may be zombie mutations."
"We don't know exactly what the transformation will look like, but what we do know is that some zombies will become more powerful than before!"
"For this reason, my second uncle and I decided to prepare for the worst, but we have some differences."
"Second uncle advocates shrinking the front line, abandoning some unstable factors and personnel, and abandoning the northern border and those northern forces..."
"I think this is an opportunity, maybe I can give it a try..."
Li Yu used the most concise words to explain the cause and effect in one breath.
The third uncle and uncle did not interrupt him either.
Asking questions back and forth is the most time-consuming and inefficient.
As Li Yu told the story, the third uncle's mood gradually became depressed.
Thunderstorm natural disaster? Lasts for as long as two months to half a year. This is undoubtedly bad news.
Construction is in full swing here in the north, and the greenhouses are almost half-finished.
And a small number of these greenhouses have already grown crops.
There is also a zombie generator, which is now being prepared and assembled.
Greenhouses require a huge amount of electricity, relying solely on the oil supply from the Oil City. Not to mention supply and consumption issues, transportation alone is a big problem.
Therefore, truly pollution-free electric energy sources such as zombie generators are imperative.
This zombie generator was built in the underground warehouse of the northern city as decided by Li Yu.
Speaking of which, this warehouse was the original place where supplies were stored in the North, so it was relatively secretive.
For a time, the third uncle thought of many things in his mind.
"Second uncle and I have conflicting opinions, so I would like to ask uncle, third uncle, what are your opinions?"
call--
The third uncle frowned, not fully digesting it for a while.
So he said to Li Yu:
"Let me digest it first. Old Liu, you can tell me your thoughts first."
Wu City Military Base.
The uncle pinched the ear wire in his hand tightly, with shock in his eyes.
Like Third Uncle, he is still in the process of digesting and absorbing the shock.
"I, Xiaoyu, the amount of information you just said is too much. I need some time to digest it. Let me think about it later."
"Okay." Li Yu was not in a hurry and waited quietly for them to finish digesting.
Northern Territory.
The third uncle was deep in thought and involuntarily took out a packet of Huazi from his pocket.
Bada~
Sparks sizzled.
call--
As the smoke filled the air, the third uncle's face gradually blurred in the smoke, but his eyes gradually became sharp.
His brain was thinking crazily, considering various possibilities, and looking for the most perfect way to solve the current problem.
Time passed minute by minute.
Neither Li Yu nor the second uncle said anything to disrupt the third uncle's thinking.
Northern Territory.
Uncle San's cigarette gradually burned, and after finishing the cigarette.
The third uncle threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out with his foot as a habit.
The moment he saw the spark being trampled out, the third uncle's eyes flickered.
Then he took out another cigarette and continued to smoke.
"Second brother, Xiaoyu." Third uncle suddenly spoke, breaking the silence that lasted for five or six minutes.
Li Yu's originally raised legs suddenly lowered them.
"Third brother, tell me." The second uncle hurriedly walked over and said into the microphone.
He also wanted to know what Lao San was thinking.
The third uncle thought for a while and said:
"From what I hear, what Second Brother means is that we want to be alone, reduce food consumption and preserve our own people, and ignore other people and even the people in Southern Paradise;
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xiaoyu means to reveal that the thunderstorm natural disaster is coming, inform all survivors, and save as many people as possible."
"I don't know if I understand it this way. Is there any problem?"
"No." Li Yu and his second uncle replied in unison.
The third uncle took a deep breath and said:
"We will not discuss the specific implementation details first, but just talk about the core strategic direction."
"I personally agree with Xiaoyu's decision to save as many people as possible.
There are several reasons:
"1. There is no turning back once you have opened your bow. Since our Da Zhangshu base has chosen to go out and invested so much manpower and material resources, if we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to get it again in the future."
"Furthermore, if the trading market is suspended and Southern Paradise and others are left alone, even if they are lucky enough to survive this natural disaster, they will have some opinions on us."
"We want to retain more people for development. At this time, we have to consider gaining some people's hearts, otherwise we will not be able to convince the public."
The third uncle's voice echoed in the conference room.
Li Yu and his second uncle sat quietly on their chairs and listened without interrupting him.
The third uncle exhaled a puff of smoke and continued:
"2."
"If this natural disaster was really so horrific and we didn't warn them, many people would have died. Although I don't know how many survivors there are in the world, I'm afraid there won't be many."
"If we leave it alone, future trading markets will probably fail."
"3."
"The evil star in the northwest mentioned in Qingyuan's poem. The northwest is a good place in the apocalypse. It is a vast land with few people. Zombies like damp and dark places. The threat of zombies is less there."
"The drought in the northwest has strong sunlight and a small number of zombies, which is suitable for human development and survival. No one knows how far the force in the northwest has developed."
"If we don't increase our strength as soon as possible, although we are far apart and the probability of meeting each other is very low, but if something happens, I think from this perspective, we still need to increase our strength as soon as possible."
Uncle San’s words were very logical, and the three reasons were very clear.
Especially the third one, this reason was something Li Yu didn't even think about.
As the third uncle finished speaking, the uncle had almost finished his thoughts.
Through the helicopter's glass, he saw Lao Bi waving to him outside.
He also waved his hand.
Pressing the radio button, he said:
"My ideas are similar to Hongqian's."
"I think it would be a pity to give up now. Moreover, with so many firearms we have found, if they are only used by people in our inner and outer cities, we will never be able to use them all."
"Resources have not been converted into productivity. From this perspective, it is too wasteful."
In these five years, they have collected an extremely large amount of supplies, which would definitely be enough if they were only used for their own use.
It has even achieved its own self-sufficient supply of food.
People are like this, desires will always exist.
When you have a bicycle, you will want an electric car. When you have an electric car, you will want a car. When you have a car, you will want to change to a new brand.
OK.
But there is a prerequisite, that is, you have the ability and the opportunity.
If it were placed at the Da Zhangshu Base four years ago, I would naturally not dare to have this idea.
But now they have grown bigger and stronger.
Headquarters base, in the conference room.
The second uncle heard that both the eldest uncle and the third uncle agreed with Li Yu's idea.
He sighed and said:
"Okay, since you two support Xiaoyu's decision and I can't be stubborn, this direction will be decided for the time being."
"Now let's talk about the details. I think I can tell all the survivors about the natural disaster."
"It's just that I think the northern border is too big to defend. Why don't you, Third Brother, return to Oil City with a large force? In addition, if the affiliated forces in the northern border are willing to follow, they can follow. If they are not willing, let them stay in the northern border.
.”
"Just like the satellite city around the headquarters base when natural disasters occurred, what do you think about handing over the satellite city to the newly arrived collaborators?"
When Li Yu heard what his second uncle said, he thought for a while and said:
"Third uncle, you have stayed in the north for a long time and know it relatively well. I want to hear your opinion."
In the north, the third uncle sat on his seat and put out the cigarette butt.
After taking three cigarettes in a row, his throat felt a little uncomfortable, so he stopped smoking.
"Second brother, you have a point. The northern border covers a very large area. Although the walls are tall, there are not many people here, and many of them are agricultural planters."
"But the greenhouse here has been half-built, and the zombie generator is also being assembled."
"What's more important is that the transportation of materials here has returned to the headquarters base and Oil City. There is still a batch of materials that have not been transported. In addition, there are some industrial equipment that cannot be disassembled..."
"And if we hand this whole thing over to the affiliated forces in the north, we don't know what trouble they will make."
"After all, this place is different from the original headquarters satellite base. There are still many useful things here, and they can't be taken away."
The third uncle paused here and saw that no one answered his words.
So he continued:
"It is naturally a good thing to move the northern border to Oil City, and it is right to concentrate our troops to protect Oil City.
But do you have any solutions to the problems I just mentioned?"
The problems mentioned by Uncle San do exist.
Li Yu frowned and asked:
“How is the zombie generator installation going in the North?”
The third uncle opened his mouth and replied:
"The equipment is half-assembled. I caught a few zombies and tested it. It works normally."
Li Yu continued to ask: "If all the personnel in the northern border are allowed to retreat and bring with them the supplies that have been ordered before, how long will it take to complete?"
The third uncle made an estimate and replied: "One week."
"One week is probably enough, but ten days is definitely enough."
The second uncle stood up and said to the third uncle:
"Third brother, since the zombie generator hasn't been assembled yet, let's just get rid of those zombies and seal the zombie generator in the secret passage under the city lord's palace."
"As for the industrial equipment that cannot be moved, leave it there. It is quite troublesome to move it around. Besides, these things are not edible, and those affiliated forces in the north cannot use them."
"In addition, we strictly prohibit them from entering the inner city and just let them stay in the outer city."
"I've seen the inner city gate. It's very strong. It's difficult to climb up even the 50- to 60-meter wall. Even if they really violate the ban and try every means to enter the inner city, they probably won't be able to do anything."
"After all, those things are inedible."
Li Yu nodded next to his second uncle and said:
"What the second uncle said makes sense. What do you think, the third uncle?"
The third uncle pondered for a long time, he was not a nagging person, and what the second brother said was not unreasonable.
So he said, "Okay, that's it."
Li Yu's face straightened up and he said to his third uncle:
"Then let's move forward quickly and transport the last batch of supplies from the north back to Oil City and Da Zhangshu Base."
Third uncle asked:
"Then when will the people in the affiliated forces in the north be notified?"
Li Yu thought for a while and then said: "It is May 5th now, there are still twenty-five days before the natural disaster, so let's inform them in the last ten days. Third uncle, you only need to return to the headquarters base before the last week."
"Okay." The third uncle nodded and had no objection to this.
