"Do you have any news about Da Dao and the others?" Yuan Zhi wiped his hands, turned his head and asked a man behind him.
"Governor, not yet, they should be on their way back," the man replied respectfully.
After Yuan Zhi wiped his hands, he picked up a fresh apple from the table and sat down on the retro Taishi chair in the middle of the hall.
"Let Yin Xi keep an eye on it. If you see the spies sent by the Sima family to the Da Zhangshu base come back, remember to report it."
"Hmm, I've already told Guard Chief Yin Xi that the expedition team sent by the Sima family has not returned yet."
Yuan Zhi threw the apple in his hand to the man next to him.
"Hayang, do you think this Da Zhangshu Base will cooperate with us?"
Fan Haiyang quickly took the apple thrown by the governor and said with thoughts in his eyes:
"No matter whether they are willing to cooperate with us now, the Sima family will definitely not let go of this piece of fat. When they can't resist the Sima family, they will naturally seek our help. By then, they can naturally take advantage of this big camphor tree base.
Take it.
But Governor, if we intervene in the affairs of the Da Zhangshu Base, the Sima family may have strong objections..."
Yuan Zhi nodded and thought for a long time before speaking:
"If you have different ideas, you won't conspire against each other. Once Sima Liang dies, there will be only those two little wolf cubs left, so it won't be a big worry.
Recently, you have been keeping an eye on the situation at the Sima family, and if there is any change, be sure to report it."
Fan Haiyang quickly bowed and said: "Understood!"
.......
Also in the inner city, in a building not far from them.
Sima Xi and Sima Dong came to a ward together.
Lying on the bed was a man who was very angry and had dark spots on his face.
At this time, this man who exuded a rotten atmosphere looked at Sima Xi and Sima Dong weakly and said:
"You... must unite... Dong'er, you are the eldest brother. You have to support our Sima family with your younger brother. Xi'er, you also... don't be petty and tempered. My body can support us."
It won't be long, the matter of the Da Zhangshu Base... is not the right time to take action now.
The right time, the right place, the right people, and the current situation does not account for any of the three..."
Although Sima Liang was terminally ill, after all, he was the person who single-handedly built the Sima family, and many elders in the Sima family believed in him.
It can be said that if Sima Liang had not died, it would not have been the turn of the two brothers Sima Dong to make the decision.
Now that Sima Liang's health is about to fail, many people in the Sima family have begun to take sides.
However, as long as Sima Liang lives for one day, no one can refute the orders he issued.
After Sima Dong heard his father's words, he quickly said: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my brother and support our Sima family."
"Okay, cough, cough, cough." Sima Liang had a smile on his face just now, but he coughed violently the next second.
Sima Dong quickly stepped forward to help pat his father's back and smoothen his breath.
for a long time.
Sima Liang finally recovered, and then glanced at the disfigured Sima Xi, his youngest son, with a trace of distress in his eyes.
well.......
"Xier, come here..."
.....
Big camphor tree base.
Night falls.
It gets dark very quickly in November.
After the sun goes down, the temperature drops sharply.
The lowest temperature at night is only four or five degrees. Compared with the highest temperature during the day, the temperature difference can reach forty degrees.
Duty room.
Li Yu hasn't left here yet. He wants to wait here for news about Zhu Xiao and the others heading north.
Zhu Xiao and the others set off from the base at three o'clock in the afternoon and headed for Oil City.
Calculating the time, it will be there in half an hour at most.
The appearance of the Northern Federation made him very afraid.
Although there is a zombie attracting potion in hand, it cannot be used casually.
What's more, the Northern Federation is the most powerful enemy they have ever encountered.
Tap tap tap——
There was a sound of footsteps outside the duty room.
The door was pushed open and it was Li Yuan, holding a thermal bag in his hand.
"Brother, mom asked me to bring you some food. You should eat something first." Li Yuan walked in and said to Li Yu.
Hearing what Li Yuan said, Li Yu, who was not hungry at first, suddenly became hungry.
With a smile on his face, he said to Li Yuan: "Okay, let's eat some."
Li Yuan took the insulated bag to the table and opened the bag to find several insulated boxes.
Li Yu rubbed his hands and opened the thermos box. After seeing the food inside, he said, "Today's food is good. Where are the chopsticks?"
Li Yuan found it from the thermal bag and handed it to Li Yu.
Then he said: "Brother, you don't have to worry too much..."
Li Yu shook his head and said: "I'm not worried. Although the Northern Federation is powerful, we are not soft persimmons, so there is no need to be afraid of them.
What I am mainly thinking about now is that if the seven people who came today are not from the Northern Federation, it would be very difficult, which means that there is another force that we don't know is spying on us."
Li Yuan thought for a while and then said: "By the way, brother, Qingyang said that he wanted to find time to go to Sanqing Mountain, but he still couldn't find his two senior brothers. He wanted to go back to the mountain to see if he could meet them."
Li Yugang put a piece of scrambled eggs with chopsticks into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and said, "Yeah, that's fine. I'll ask Lao Luo to take him there tomorrow. The helicopter can fly there quickly, and we can get there in two hours."
"Thank you, brother!" Li Yuan smiled when he saw Li Yu agreeing.
Li Yu pointed at Li Yuan with his chopsticks and cursed with a smile: "You are not married yet, so you are turning your elbows outward. If you want to thank me, then let him thank me."
When Li Yuan heard what Li Yu said, he felt a little embarrassed. He tightened his clothes and said to Li Yu: "Brother, what are you talking about...I'm leaving."
After saying that, he turned around and left the duty room.
Li Yu looked at her leaving figure, smiled and said nothing.
Looking at the food in front of me, I was so overwhelmed that I ate it all in a few minutes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! People who have experienced the pain of hunger will know how to cherish food.
There was no food left, he ate it all.
After eating, he made himself a pot of tea.
These old teas were all hoarded before the end of the world.
This tea brick is not expensive and has a long shelf life. Just cut off one piece each time you make tea. After drinking it for several years, there is still a lot of reserves.
After taking a sip of warm tea, my whole body felt much more comfortable.
There are many blessings in life, but the most important thing is to be satisfied.
To have a safe place to shelter, to have clothes to wear, and to have enough to eat, these conditions are already more than what most people in the last days would have.
After waiting for a few more minutes in the duty room, several people walked in from the wall.
Uncle, Lao Lu and Lao Xie came in together, and behind them were Wang Cheng and Qu Xing.
"Xiaoyu, the satellite cities have been redeployed. For the time being, we will deploy the defenses in the first, second and third satellite cities. These satellite cities are relatively close to the base. We can better deal with any emergencies." As soon as the uncle walked in, he faced
Li Yu said.
Li Yu took a sip of tea and said, "That's enough. The fourth and fifth satellite cities are too far away. There is no need to deploy manpower over there during a natural disaster."
The uncle nodded and continued: "In addition, the personnel for forming the emergency assault team are already in place, but I haven't decided who should be appointed to the position of captain. Who do you think is more suitable?"
Li Yu thought for a while after hearing this.
This position is quite special. The role of the commando is to be able to react flexibly when encountering emergencies.
It definitely requires someone with more combat experience.
Lao Luo, Xiao Jun, Ju Tianrui, Lao Bi, Lao Yi, and even Jackal from the outer city are all suitable.
But right now, Xiao Jun and Ju Tianrui are in Oil City and won't be able to come back for a while.
On the other hand, this position is so important that it would be more appropriate to let Li Yu's immediate family members take the position.
Among the uncles, the second uncle and the third uncle all have something to do.
Fourth uncle is not good at fighting.
My second uncle is also busy with things at the factory.
It seems that there are only people of the same generation as him.
Currently, those over 18 years old include Li Hang, Li Tie, Li Gang, Li Haoran, Li Haoxian, Li Zhengping, Li Yuan, and Liu Jinglue.
If you choose among these people, there are actually only three people who are most suitable.
Li Hang, Li Tie, Li Gang.
All three of them have combat experience and are quite experienced.
However, Li Hang is currently working in the maintenance shop, and it hasn't been long since then, so it's not appropriate for him to step away.
Li Gang has a rather carefree personality, so it's okay for him to fight, but it would be difficult for him to manage a team.
Thinking about it this way, Li Tie is actually the most suitable, with a stable personality and a measured advance and retreat.
But Li Tie has gone to Oil City now, and will go to Southern Paradise tomorrow. He probably won't be back for a while.
So I thought about it and said to my uncle, "Let's do this. Let's set up a deputy captain first, and let Lao Xie be the deputy captain."
When Lao Xie was in the WJ team, he was Lao Lu's deputy.
Team management and combat experience are very rich.
At that time, in the inner city, because his uncle was the chief of defense and Lao Lu was his deputy, Lao Xie was always in a rather awkward position.
Now that this commando team is established, Lao Xie can be put into it.
It can be regarded as maximizing Lao Xie's ability.
The uncle nodded and asked with some confusion: "Then who should take up the position of captain?"
Li Yu looked at everyone and said, "Let Li Tie take the position. He is still in Oil City. When he comes back, let him take this position."
"Xiao Tie... Well, it's quite appropriate." The uncle thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense.
After all, Li Tie also came from the army and has performed extremely well in the three years since the apocalypse broke out.
I also have experience in leading a team. As the leader of a commando team, I will not be lacking in ability.
Li Yu looked at Lao Xie who was standing and said, "Lao Xie, are you willing to make you the deputy captain?"
Lao Xie is a middle-aged Mediterranean man with few hairs on his head, but his character has always been that of a non-competitor. A smile immediately appeared on his face and he said: "Sure, I'm very happy."
If he were asked to be the captain, he might hesitate.
But let him be the vice-captain, something he is familiar with!
Being a captain is very stressful, which means that you need to resist, and you need to bear any situation or consequences.
He knows himself very well, and there is no problem being the vice-captain, but being the captain is too much pressure for him.
Seeing that Lao Xie agreed, Li Yu said to his uncle: "How about this? When Li Tie comes back, let him be the captain, and let Lao Xie take care of it for now."
"Okay, I have no problem." The uncle replied.
At this moment, the military radio lights flashed.
Li Yu quickly got up and walked over.
Picked it up and immediately said:
"This is Dazhangshu Base, I am Li Yu, please speak."
sizzling
There was a sound of electricity.
Then Li Tie's voice sounded.
"Brother, we showed the photos that Zhu Xiao and the others brought here to the spies from the Northern Federation. They said that the group of people who ran near the headquarters today are also from the Northern Federation.
However, they are not in the same group.
The group of people captured near Oil City were an expedition team formed by the Sima family of the Northern Federation, and those who came to the headquarters today were members of the Governor of the Northern Federation.
Liu Weimeng said that he recognized one of them as Da Dao, and he seemed to be a more important person than Governor Yuan Zhi."
As he spoke, he looked at the cannon standing next to him.
With a regretful expression on Cannon's face, he couldn't help but kick him.
"People from the Northern Federation?" Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
If they don't recognize this, it means that another force that they don't know about has appeared.
But if they were from the Northern Federation, it would be no surprise.
However, Li Yu frowned again.
"You just said that he was not from the Sima family, but from Yuan Zhi, the governor of the Northern Territory? Who is that? It's the Liu Shimeng you captured."
"Liu Weimeng."
"Yes, that's him. Didn't he say that Yuan Zhi, the governor of the Northern Federation, never plunders other forces and advocates win-win cooperation with other forces? This guy sneaked into the base without even saying hello. This is reasonable.
?!"
When Li Tie heard this, he didn't know how to answer his elder brother for a moment.
When he just showed Zhu Xiao's photo to Liu Weimeng for confirmation, he was also a little curious.
Why is it that the Governor Yuan Zhi that Liu Weimeng and the others talked about earlier said and did completely different things?
cooperate?
There is such a thing as sneaking into someone's house, and then they find you, and you just shoot.
What is this attitude?
Could it be that I put a gun in your mouth and said that I want to cooperate?
What a shame!
Li Yu's mood suddenly became bad, and the good impression of Yuan Zhi, the governor of the Northern Territory Federation, suddenly deteriorated to the extreme.
I really thought you were that kind of great person who saves the world and shines all over you, but I didn't expect you are not much different from that Sima family.
Li Tie heard that Li Yu was not in a good mood, so he asked: "Brother, what should we do next? Do we want to fight back?"
Li Yu calmed down quickly after hearing this.
Be angry, but be rational.
The solar radiation is about to pass, and the extremely cold ice and snow disaster will come next. Running over at this time is tantamount to courting death.
On the one hand, if the people sent to investigate are discovered, the fate will be as miserable as the people sent by the Northern Federation, and if they are captured alive, it will be equivalent to voluntarily sending some information about the Da Zhangshu Base.
Li Yu never dared to test human nature.
People who don't do it for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth.
He didn't think that the people he sent out could tell absolutely nothing.
Unless they are top combat talents like Uncle San and others.
But Li Yu was not willing to let them out at all.
On the other hand, the extreme cold and snow disaster is coming soon, and you may not be able to come back.
Moreover, they have now learned a lot of information about the Northern Federation by recruiting Liu Weimeng and his gang.
According to Li Yu's urine, he could either kill them all directly or wait for the opportunity.
To be honest, this Northern Federation made Li Yu very disappointed.
If possible, if Governor Yuan Zhi is really as good as Liu Weimeng said, he would actually be willing to cooperate together for the future of mankind.
But this idiot secretly sent people to steal the house.
Li Yu now wants to kill him.
But now that he has killed all the people sent, it can be regarded as a bad breath.
In addition, there were no casualties in these two times, so Li Yu just let it go.
"Brother, are you still there? Can you hear me now?" Li Tie never heard Li Yu's answer and thought he had lost the signal, so he said hurriedly.
Li Yu pulled his thoughts back, thought for a while and said:
"I heard it, don't act rashly for now, tell Ju Tianrui to strengthen the defense force of Oil City and dig some underground air defense bunkers appropriately.
In addition, I will send a helicopter over in two days."
Hearing this, Li Tie asked with some confusion: "Ah? There are already two helicopters here in Oil City?"
Li Yu opened his mouth and said:
"No one has been sent to transport the oil in the oil city for several months, and the current weather is not suitable for large-scale land transportation.
It can only be transported by air.
Although deducting the past fuel, the amount of oil that can be transported in one trip is not much, but the speed is fast!
In addition, it just allows them to become proficient in helicopters, which can be regarded as special helicopter piloting training."
Li Tie thought for a while and said:
"Brother, do you think the Northern Federation will still send people here? And through this method, their whereabouts can be detected?"
Li Yu's mouth twitched.
Naturally, he also had this consideration.
Now that Li Tie had guessed it, he stopped hiding it and said:
"Well, more or less. Anyway, flying back and forth has a lot of benefits. There shouldn't be much food reserves left in Oil City, right?"
"By the way, remind Ju Tianrui that the temperature is cooling down at night and take anti-freezing measures. Do you still have the thick bedding over there?"
Hearing what Li Yu said, Li Tie quickly said: "Yes, antifreeze bedding. I'm not sure about it. I'll ask him later."
Li Yu thought for a while and said:
"Do you still remember the blizzard and extreme cold the winter before last?"
Li Tie recalled that winter, when his fingers were left outside for a few minutes without gloves, they could only freeze to the point of unconsciousness. A hit with a stick could break the fingers directly.
That winter was very cold.
Cold to the core.
It was also at that time that the zombie's skin turned white.
"Remember!" Li Tie said tremblingly.
Li Yu continued: "Let Ju Tianrui prepare for the winter. The temperature will continue to drop at night. The meteorological experts in the base said that the temperature may continue to drop in the future."
"Meteorological expert?" Li Tie was a little confused.
He seemed to remember that there were no relevant experts in the base.
Moreover, the climate in the apocalypse cannot be understood according to common sense.
"Yes, meteorological experts. Among the high-quality talents brought back from Southwest China, there is a meteorological expert."
"This is not important. What is important is that you should be prepared for the extreme cold and be sure to tell Ju Tianrui that this matter cannot be taken carelessly.
In addition, the factory here at the base has produced some quilts and some gloves, and I will have them delivered by helicopter when the time comes."
Li Yu explained one thing clearly and said seriously.
"Okay." Li Tie looked at Ju Tianrui sitting next to him and replied.
