In Master Hu's bedroom, there is an old man and a young man.
The old one was lying on the hospital bed, and the younger one was sitting on a stool.
"grandfather."
A little boy of about ten years old was lying next to the hospital bed, holding Master Hu's palm with both hands.
Choking with sobs, he said: "Grandpa, you have to get better. You will get better, right?"
Master Hu looked at his only blood relative in the world, stretched out his thin and withered hand, touched the little boy's face, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Ah Zheng, don't cry. You are already a man. Grandpa will be gone in the future. You can't be as willful as before. Don't make trouble."
"From now on, you will follow Aunt Xiaoxue. Xiao Jun and Xiaoxue are good people and they should take good care of you. But if they dislike you, just be obedient... and live well."
Li Yizheng, with tears in his eyes, shook his head and said, "Aunt Xue is very good to me. They will not dislike me."
Master Hu sighed slightly, paused for a few seconds and then said.
"I mean, if, if Aunt Xiaoxue won't be like before, if Tang Ji, Uncle Zhou Xing, they won't be as good to you as they were before,... don't cry or make trouble, just be quiet
Stay in a corner, live well, and grow up well.
Okay?"
When Mr. Hu said these words, his heart was as sharp as a knife, and even his voice was trembling.
He understands that people in this world are subject to change, and he also understands how unreliable people's hearts are.
If Southern Paradise is handed over to Tang Ji or a few other subordinates, they can guarantee to take good care of their grandson while they are alive.
But what if he died, he didn't know.
He didn't dare to gamble either.
Because of this, he wanted to pave the way for his grandson's future.
At least let your grandson survive in this apocalypse.
If Southern Paradise is handed over to Da Zhangshu Base, as his grandson, Da Zhangshu Base will take care of it for the sake of other former Southern Paradise members who join.
Moreover, as his grandson, he also represented Southern Paradise and joined the Great Zhangshu Base. His grandson was able to attract the protection of his subordinates.
I don’t expect too much, I just want my grandson to live and grow up well.
Verbal promises and guarantees are meaningless, especially in this end of the world where trustworthiness is everywhere.
Only interests and restraints can make things a little more reliable.
Li Yizheng didn't seem to understand everything his grandfather said, but he still nodded and said:
"I don't understand much, but I remember what grandpa said."
"Okay, Ah Zheng is such a good boy."
Master Hu stroked Li Yizheng's head, feeling a little guilty in his heart.
If he hadn't doted on Azheng so much before, he might be more mature than he is now.
But he was only ten years old, and he didn't even turn ten until his birthday next month.
A child less than ten years old, let him understand the cruelty and danger of the world.
Mr. Tiger really couldn't bear it.
Tuk Tuk——
There was a knock on the door.
Master Hu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes slowly.
Taking a deep breath, he sat on the hospital bed and adjusted his mood.
"Azheng, go and help Grandpa open the door." Master Hu said.
Ah Zheng wiped away his tears, but his red eyes still betrayed him.
"good."
Li Yizheng got up, walked to the door and opened it.
"Uncle Tang Ji."
"Ah Zheng."
Tang Ji touched Azheng's head and felt soft when he saw Azheng's red eyes.
well........
I'm afraid that after Master Hu is gone, his grandson will be the most worried.
After entering the door, he walked to Master Hu's bedside and said cautiously:
"There is news from the Da Zhangshu Base. Xiao Jun and Ma Yingxue will be asked to pick you up tomorrow to take you to the Da Zhangshu Base Headquarters. Do we need to make any preparations here?"
When he heard that Da Zhangshu Base asked Ma Yingxue to pick him up, Mr. Hu's expression changed.
He hasn't told the people at Da Zhangshu Base about his condition yet, but he sent Xiao Jun and Ma Yingxue over to see if he already knew about it.
After all, although he didn't tell the people at Da Zhangshu Base, Chen Er knew about the situation and had seen him not long ago when he was transporting oil back to Southern Paradise.
After thinking for a while, he felt that it didn't matter whether the Da Zhangshu Base knew it or not.
What he is most concerned about is whether Da Zhangshu Base is willing to take over Southern Paradise.
Taking over a power may seem like a good thing, but it also requires responsibility.
Just like some companies before the end of the world are on the verge of bankruptcy, in order to continue to survive, they seek acquisitions by large companies, and the acquisition prices are ridiculously low.
This is because although these companies also have assets, they also have a lot of foreign debts.
Any company that comes to acquire it can inherit the company's assets and also inherit its foreign debts.
The same is true for Southern Paradise. Da Zhangshu Base can inherit the entire Southern Paradise's materials, personnel, and weapons.
However, we still have to feed these more than 3,000 people.
It is not easy to feed more than 3,000 good people.
Especially in this apocalyptic world with constant natural disasters, growing food is extremely difficult.
Master Hu wants to meet Li Yu, the city lord of Dazhangshu Base, in person to talk about this.
He must make a good deal with Li Yu. If he takes over Southern Paradise, he must take it all in and what kind of treatment conditions he will give.
Otherwise, if we just move the various materials stored in Southern Paradise over the years and select some of the three thousand people, the others will not care whether they live or die.
Then he might as well not give Da Zhangshu a base.
"Well, I understand."
Mr. Hu continued:
"Tomorrow, you can come with me and bring the inventory of supplies for our Southern Paradise that I asked you to prepare before."
"Okay, Master Hu." Tang Ji's eyes flickered when he heard Master Hu say that he wanted to take away the supply list of Southern Paradise.
"Master Hu, then I'm going to prepare."
"Um."
Master Hu nodded slightly and looked at Li Yizheng beside the bed, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Azheng, you and grandpa will go there together tomorrow."
Ah Zheng raised his head and asked doubtfully:
"Are you going to the Da Zhangshu base that grandpa mentioned?"
"Yes, that's right there."
Mr. Hu's eyes were incomprehensible, and he was a little curious about the Da Zhangshu base that he had never been to before.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A base with such powerful strength can even make a sub-base, Oil City, so indestructible.
What's more, it's their headquarters base.
I really don’t know what the Dazhangshu base will look like. Being able to take a look at it before I die is a relief.
He once wanted to build a strong and indestructible fortress city that all survivors yearned for.
But reality gave him a hard blow.
Continuous natural disasters, food crisis...
He couldn't save himself, let alone save others. He had no choice but to close the city gate and could only watch the survivors who had fled outside the city slowly die.
"Go and have a look..." Mr. Hu whispered, as if he was talking to others, but also as if he was talking to himself.
...
After Tang Ji went downstairs, Zhou Xing, who had just pinched Dr. Zhang and questioned him in front of Master Hu, ran all the way and came over.
"Old Tang, Old Tang..."
"Oh, don't leave, Old Tang, just wait."
Zhou Xing stopped Tang Ji,
"Old Tang, why does Mr. Tiger want to go to Da Zhangshu Base?"
Tang Ji glanced at Zhou Xing and said calmly: "Because Mr. Hu is going to meet City Lord Li at Da Zhangshu Base."
"Yes, that's the problem. Now that Mr. Hu's body is like this, why do you want to go see City Lord Li at this time?"
Zhou Xing looked at Tang Ji carefully, touched his chin and said:
"Did Master Hu just tell you anything?"
Tang Ji looked calm, shook his head and said, "Tomorrow Ma Yingxue and Xiao Jun will come to take Mr. Hu to the Da Zhangshu base."
"Gone?"
"Gone."
week
"
"If this is the case, it is too unreasonable. All the foundation we have built with great difficulty will be handed over to the people at Da Zhangshu Base."
"Yes, the Da Zhangshu base is a big tree. It is easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree. The life of brothers may be easier, but that is only possible. What if the Da Zhangshu base is demolished and killed..."
.....
Faced with what Zhou Xing said, Tang Ji said nothing.
Mr. Hu just told him to prepare all the material registration books for Southern Paradise and bring them there tomorrow. From this action, a lot of things have actually been revealed.
Tang Ji knew it well.
But in the past two days, not only Zhou Xing was looking for him, but also Mi Wen, Wu Li, and Zhang Tianfu.
The purpose of looking for him is actually very simple. I want to get information from him and find out who Master Tiger plans to replace as the master of the Southern Paradise.
These people were very active, and one by one they came to Master Hu to express their sadness.
Maybe they really have feelings for Mr. Hu, but they show it too exaggeratedly.
In fact, Zhou Xing almost killed Dr. Zhang just now.
only,
The madman who everyone thought was most likely to succeed Mr. Hu, but there was no movement.
The lunatic has the best qualifications in Southern Paradise, although since Scar's failed rebellion,
In order to avoid suspicion, the madman took the initiative to hand over all his power and team, and retreated to focus on agricultural planting.
Later, I also learned about the camphor tree base and built an indoor plantation.
If the lunatic comes forward this time and says he wants to take over Southern Paradise, there will probably be many people supporting him.
However, the madman did not come forward.
........
.........
evening.
The madman limped to Master Hu's hospital bed.
He went straight into Master Hu's room without knocking on the door.
The two looked at each other.
The lunatic walked over lamely, poured a glass of water for Master Hu, and placed it on his bedside.
"You really don't want to be the city lord of Southern Paradise?"
After a while, Master Hu asked.
The madman shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"It's inappropriate. I'm a stinky lame, and I'm tired of being a bastard city lord."
Mr. Hu suddenly sighed, "When we first established the Southern Paradise, I never thought that such a day would come."
The madman patted his arm and said, "Master Hu, we are not young anymore, so we should be more open-minded."
"What I'm thinking now is very simple. If you hand over the Southern Paradise to the Da Zhangshu Base, then I'll go with you. I'll just go to the underground agricultural plantation and see how they do it."
Master Hu stared blankly at the madman for a while.
"madman."
"Um?"
"After I leave, help me take a good look at Azheng."
"I can't guarantee that."
As soon as these words came out, Master Hu felt a chill in his heart.
The next second, I heard the madman continue:
"I don't have a few more years to live. Anyway, I will protect Azheng before I die. I will treat Azheng as my grandson."
