All those who were due to inspect had completed their inspection. As for the third uncle, they were supposed to return to the Da Zhangshu base together.
But due to the existence of Northwest, after talking with Li Yu, the third uncle planned to go to Oil City.
Leave the northern border to Lao Xie and Lao Yi to manage.
The military power in the northern border is not very strong. It is originally defined as an agricultural planting area and is responsible for producing food.
The matched personnel and weapons are all based on self-protection.
If you want to strengthen the defense here, you must dispatch manpower from Da Zhangshu Base and Oil City.
The power is too dispersed and easily defeated one by one.
Defense also needs to have focus and priority.
Oil City is right between the Da Zhangshu base and the northern border, and its location is quite critical.
Therefore, their strategy is that the priority level of protection is: Dazhangshu Base>Oil City>Northern Territory.
Compared with Oil City and the North, Oil City is obviously more important.
The military power in Oil City is stronger, and Third Uncle's on-site command in the past can better bring out the combat effectiveness of Oil City.
And even if the northwest really sends a large army to the north, they can just withdraw.
Let the northwest gang occupy the northern border, and use zombie attracting potion and heavy artillery bombardment to teach the northwest gang a lesson at night.
Food cultivation in the north will not be possible in a short time.
If the crops in the north reach the mature months at this time, the priority level in the north will be higher than it is now.
The third uncle asked Lao Xie and the others to reopen the underground tunnel originally left by Yuan Zhi in the northern city.
On the basis of sealing the exit a few kilometers away, the seal was reinforced again to make it more stable.
And at two-thirds of the corridor, we picked a suitable location and dug a few hundred meters in the other direction to find a suitable exit in a forest.
The reason for doing this is also considering that once people from the northwest are sent over, everyone in the north will not be able to escape in helicopters.
The personnel from the outer cities of the northern border have now joined the camp of Da Zhangshu Base and cannot just stay here and wait to die.
But more than 3,000 people cannot be taken away by the six helicopters left here in the north.
Opening up and transforming corridors became their solution.
The third uncle explained the matters in the north to Lao Xie and Lao Yi one by one.
In the basement of the city lord's mansion, the third uncle looked at the sealed entrance to the corridor.
"That's about it, have you written it down?"
Lao Xie smoothed his hair and said quickly:
"Minister, don't worry, we've written it all down."
"Now that the guard tower outside the northern border has been restored, we will definitely know if a strange convoy approaches."
The third uncle nodded, "If they really come to the north. The northwest is very powerful. Don't confront them head-on. The strategy will shift... We will come back sooner or later."
"Understood!" The two of them looked serious.
"Go up."
The third uncle took the two of them back to the ground. On the tarmac in the distance, the helicopter had been filled with fuel.
Li Yu was waiting in the shade of the eaves, holding his shoulders.
"City Lord, everything is ready and can take off at any time." Lao Bi was sweating profusely as he jogged over from the tarmac.
"Yeah." Li Yu glanced at the city lord's mansion and happened to see his third uncle and Lao Xie and Lao Yi walking out.
Li Yu smiled and waved to his third uncle, who raised his hand in response and walked over at the same time.
Guo Peng and others came to see him off.
Yang Tianlong looked at Zhu Xiao who was seeing him off and said, "Goodbye at the base."
People who share the same path naturally cherish each other.
The two of them have similar body types, they are both big and muscular, and their personalities are somewhat similar.
Although one is from the inner city and the other is from the outer city, it does not prevent them from becoming friends.
Zhu Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, but I don't know when I can return to the headquarters base."
"Sometimes I still envy you for being able to follow the city lord around."
Zhu Xiao is also a very impatient person and doesn't like to stay in one place for a long time.
But there was no other way. The mission was his and the orders were there, so he could only do this.
Yang Tianlong fell silent after hearing Zhu Xiao's words.
He didn't know how to answer Zhu Xiao's words.
Isn't that what people are like sometimes? They are always involuntarily restraining their inner desires for the sake of the future and three meals a day.
How many people can really do what they want to do?
And I happened to be lucky enough to join the Da Zhangshu Base early, so I had the best choice.
And most people don't have a choice.
Seeing Yang Tianlong's silence, Zhu Xiao smiled freely and said:
"Haha, actually I should be content. I have food, drink and a place to live. This is better than many survivors. Everything I have now is a luxury I only dreamed of a few years ago..."
"That's true." Yang Tianlong also smiled.
People will always have various desires that will never be satisfied.
But sometimes, paying more attention to the present and being content with what you have is better than anything else.
........
The third uncle walked to Li Yu and said, "Let's go."
The two of them walked to the tarmac together.
Beside them were Lao Xie, Lao Yi, Lao Bi and others.
The third uncle had already explained clearly everything he needed to explain, and without any unnecessary nonsense, he got on the helicopter. After a few minutes, the eight helicopters took off.
Li Yu brought over five helicopters, and the remaining three helicopters were "sent" from the northwest.
So much so that this time the helicopter left the northern border, there were many vacant positions.
Food is not produced in the north, and there is nothing to bring with you.
As for fuel, we don’t even have enough in the north.
However, this trip back to Oil City, there were a few more people.
Among them were Uncle San, Ant Jackal...and the Judge.
Xu Zhi and Liu Hong were also taken to Oil City together. It no longer made much sense for them to stay in the north.
If a large army is sent from the northwest, the garrison troops in the north will be withdrawn directly.
But if Northwest sends a large army to Oil City, Oil City will not be able to retreat.

Eastward flow.
On the helicopter, the judge asked the ant doubtfully:
"There is also a branch base. I thought it was just in the north."
Ant smiled and said, "Actually, there are three places."
"The headquarters base is in Gan City. The northern border and the Oil City we are going to next are actually branch bases, which were gradually developed later."
"Oh." The judge was a little surprised.
"Is the headquarters base called Da Zhangshu Base? I have heard you mention this name in the past two days."
"Yes."
"Why is it called Da Zhangshu Base?"
"Because there is a huge, hundreds-of-year-old camphor tree in the center of the Big Camphor Tree Base."
"Haha, the name is really random."
The judge was happy and a little emotional at the same time.
He did not expect that in this apocalyptic world, the captain and Li Yu would be able to establish such a large force.
But he was sincerely happy.
The stronger the power you have, the more initiative and choice you have.
Especially in this apocalypse.
Oil City...what will it look like?
The judge had some expectations in his heart.
.......
Gan City.
A row of motorcades sped away from National Highway 319.
These are Xiao Jun and others who returned to Da Zhangshu Base after a night's rest at the Wu City Military Base.
They came back with 3,000 tons of oil extracted from Oil City.
Petroleum has many uses, not just refining gasoline and diesel.
Petroleum can be used in many fields.
First of all, the petrochemical industry:
Petroleum can be separated and processed to produce many chemicals, such as plastics, coatings, cosmetics, synthetic fibers, etc.
Second point, smelting fuel oil:
Petroleum can be refined into various fuel oils, such as gasoline, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas, etc., which provides convenience for people's transportation and life.
The third point is the pharmaceutical industry:
Devices and products produced from petroleum have important applications in the medical industry, such as as disinfectants in operating rooms, raw materials for the production of pharmaceuticals, etc.
The fourth point, food industry:
Additives produced from petroleum can improve the aroma, taste and nutritional content of food, such as food flavorings, preservatives, etc.
After the scale of Da Zhangshu Base has grown, there are now more than a dozen factories in the base.
These factories all need raw materials such as oil.
There are still thirty kilometers away from Dazhangshu Base.
More than ten kilometers away is Satellite City No. 1 of Da Zhangshu Base.
As we approached the base of Da Zhangshu, the road became much smoother and not as bumpy as before.
For the roads here, because the base is building a buffer city that requires a lot of construction raw materials, a lot of partners will need to go out to search and transport them back.
There are too many vehicles, and if the road is bumpy, it will not be conducive to transportation.
So we simply repaired the main roads around the Da Zhangshu base.
In the center of the convoy, inside an armored vehicle.
In addition to the larger windows on the front of the armored vehicle, the windows on the body are very small and blocked by alloy railings.
Ma Yingxue sat on the far right side of the armored vehicle, looking at the scenery outside.
"How long until we arrive?"
Xiao Jun had heard this question from Ma Yingxue more than a dozen times on the road.
Hearing this again, he smiled and said, "About half an hour."
Ma Yingxue nodded. For Ma Yingxue, Da Zhangshu Base felt more like going to her husband's home.
Oil City looks more like the place where Xiao Jun works.
On the way back to the Da Zhangshu Base, her mood was a bit like that of a young daughter-in-law who went to her husband's house for the first time before the end of the world and then met her parents-in-law and his relatives.
She had never been to Da Zhangshu Base, but she had heard Xiao Jun say before that Da Zhangshu Base was more suitable for life than Oil City and was like a paradise.
It has been five or six years since the end of the world, and I have been fighting and living a life of fear.
Everyone living in the last days has a Garden of Eden in their hearts.
There are no zombies, no natural disasters, no dangers...
"How long has it been since you came back here?" Ma Yingxue suddenly turned her head and asked, smiling like a flower.
"How long..."
Xiao Jun looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar roads outside, and felt filled with emotion for a moment.
The significance of the Da Zhangshu base in his mind is extremely unique.
When he arrived at Da Zhangshu Base from Chengzizhoutou, the shock it brought him was unparalleled.
The time he spent at the Da Zhangshu Base was the most peaceful and stable time he had spent since the outbreak of the apocalypse.
In the Da Zhangshu base, it seemed that the end of the world had nothing to do with me. It seemed that when I returned there, I would be completely safe without having to worry about any danger.
Like a bird returning to its nest, like a fish returning to the sea.
Even though he went to Oil City and gained a respected position in Oil City, it still could not change the importance of the Da Zhangshu Base in his heart.
Xiao Jun thought for a while and said: "More than 300 days, almost a year."
Since the establishment of Oil City, he followed Ju Tianrui there a few months later. He came back once on the way, stayed briefly for a few days, and then left.
Ju Tianrui has really never returned here more than a year ago.
Xiao Jun actually joined the Da Zhangshu Base earlier than Ju Tianrui.
Ju Tianrui joined later.
Moreover, when Xiao Jun came out of Chengzizhou Head, he was in a desperate situation. He joined under those circumstances and had a much deeper affection for the Da Zhangshu Base than Ju Tianrui.
"It's been a year. It's been a long time. We didn't know each other at that time." Ma Yingxue opened her mouth and said with some surprise.
"Yeah, it's been a long time, and I don't know what the Da Zhangshu base has become like." Xiao Jun sighed with a sigh in his tone.
Although he had heard brief descriptions from Lao Luo and others who came to Oil City on missions, he couldn't imagine it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ma Yingxue tilted her head and suddenly asked:
"You said before that the headquarters base allocated us a wedding room. Is it true or false?"
Hearing this, Xiao Jun rubbed her head and said with a smile:
"Of course it's real, and it's a house in the inner city..."
"I haven't lived in that house yet. When I left last time, I was an outer-city employee, but now I have become an inner-city employee."
Xiao Jun's eyes were full of smiles, with some indescribable joy.
He wanted to show Ma Yingxue all the good things and share everything he had with Ma Yingxue.
Ma Yingxue's eyes were filled with longing, but also a little tangled, and she asked Xiao Jun:
"What about me? Can I enter the inner city?"
"able!"
Xiao Jun replied without hesitation:
"According to the points system of Da Zhangshu Base, points can be transferred to family members. My points are enough for you to become a member of the inner city. And if you join the inner city, you can bring your family members with you."
"What's more..."
Xiao Jun said teasingly:
"The city lord approved it and personally agreed to let me pursue you. The city lord specially asked someone to choose this wedding house for me."
Ma Yingxue knew what Xiao Jun meant. At that time, the relationship between Oil City and Southern Paradise was not as stable as it is now.
Among the two forces, Ma Yingxue had a unique status in Nanfang Paradise, and Xiao Jun was the number two figure in the Oil City at that time.
The combination between the two people needs to be very cautious and involves the considerations of the two forces.
What if one of them is a spy sent by another force?
If you do something secretly, you will be in a lot of trouble!
Ma Yingxue knows this, but as a woman, she is somewhat emotional.
So he asked mischievously: "Then what would you do if the city lord didn't allow you to be with me at that time?"
Xiao Jun frowned, this question was a bit hurtful...
Looking back at that time, he actually thought about this issue.
He was very confused, Ma Yingxue was the first person he liked in his life.
But his identity in Oil City is very subtle. If he and Ma Yingxue were together, he would secretly deliver oil to Southern Paradise, or use his rights to provide more oil in the oil transaction with Southern Paradise.
Even if he was discovered, given his status in the oil city, no one would dare to say anything.
But that would harm the interests of Oil City.
When he was struggling, he found his cousin, also known as Jackal.
Jackal's advice to him was to trust the city lord.
So he went, and as Jackal expected, Li Yu encouraged him to marry Ma Yingxue.
Upon hearing Ma Yingxue's question, Xiao Jun solemnly said:
"I believe in the city lord, so there are no ifs."
Seeing how serious Xiao Jun was, Ma Yingxue quickly softened her voice and said, "You don't have to be so serious. I understand your feelings."
"Actually, I was confused at the time, but later I figured it out."
"What have you figured out?" Xiao Jun asked.
Ma Yingxue looked at Xiao Jun seriously and said:
"I like you, even if my adoptive father stops me, I will still be with you."
"I liked you the first time I saw you. I know that I can't hold anyone else in my heart."
Xiao Jun's body shook slightly, and he was moved, and infinite tenderness surged in his heart.
There is no way for me to be with Ma Yingxue at all costs, and I will consider the pros and cons.
I will be worried about what the city lord thinks of me...
But she...is able to do it regardless of everything!
