On the steps outside the city lord's mansion, Lao Huang stood up suddenly and asked with disbelief:
"What? Let me manage the trading market, Lao Yi, are you kidding me?"
Lao Yi smiled and pulled his sleeves, and pulled Lao Huang back to the steps to sit down.
"I can still lie to you. At the headquarters base, Minister Li personally went out to recruit people and asked you to come by name."
Having said this, the smile on his face froze for a few seconds.
"Sigh... I originally wanted you to be able to manage the outer city of the North Territory legitimately, but I kept talking too much... and ended up being attracted by the minister."
"Forget it, you can pack it up tomorrow and a helicopter will be sent to take you there the day after tomorrow."
Lao Huang's expression is very complex.
I thought to myself: Damn it, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have told Lao Yi about my affairs. After mentioning it, everything was indeed out of control.
At first, I just asked for my own ideas, then gradually I was asked to help manage the outer city, and now I am actually being transferred to the Oil City to manage the trading market.
The greater the responsibility, the greater the pressure. If something happens, he will definitely be doomed.
It would be better to hang out here in the north, which would be quite nice.
"Can you not go?" Lao Huang asked after hesitating.
"Hey!?"
Lao Yi raised his eyebrows and stood up.
Pointing at Lao Huang's nose, he asked: "You really don't know what is good and what is good, you don't know what to do, you don't know how to advance or retreat, you don't know how to count, you don't understand..."
Hearing these words used by Lao Yi, Lao Huang instinctively said: "It doesn't seem to be used that way..."
Lao Yi glared at him and said in an unquestionable tone:
"This is an order from the headquarters base. If you don't go, how will I explain it? If you don't go, then you will completely break away from the identity of Da Zhangshu Base!"
"well....."
When Lao Huang heard about such serious consequences, he had no choice but to agree.
"Can I take Xiaoye with me? My grandson."
Lao Yi curled his lips and complained: "My surname is Ye, and your surname is Huang, why does he become your grandson?"
"His father is my adopted son, so isn't he my grandson?" Lao Huang said seriously.
Lao Yi thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, then you take him with you and set off early the day after tomorrow."
"Well..." Lao Huang did not refuse anymore.
However, he was thinking about what to tell the imperial concubine later.
The three of them: Xiaoye, Guifei, and myself, have always been in the same team.
Now that I have taken Xiaoye to Oil City, what should the imperial concubine do...
Seeing Lao Huang deep in thought, Lao Yi asked with a smile: "Are you worried about how to tell the concubine?"
"Huh? Yes. How do you know?" Lao Huang looked at Lao Yi in surprise.
Lao Yi said with a smile: "The imperial concubine also has other appointments. She has been arranged to serve as the captain of the 10th Brigade of the Civil Armed Forces Department and play a greater role in the northern border."
"There will be a meeting in the North Territory tomorrow. We will notify everyone at that time. We will also convey the core points of the meeting at the headquarters base."
...
Hearing what Lao Yi said, Lao Huang instantly felt less guilty.
Now that the imperial concubine has made other arrangements, their team of three will have to split up sooner or later.
Taking it apart now is actually not a bad thing.
They are all affiliated to the Great Zhangshu force, and there will always be opportunities to meet each other after separation.
Old Huang took a long breath and stood on the steps outside the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the bright moon with a glint in his eyes.
We've reached this point, and we can't hide it even if we want to.
Since you can't hide, then try your best to climb up in this apocalyptic world!
.......
The next day.
The meeting held in the north announced some resolutions of the central meeting of the headquarters, as well as some personnel appointment arrangements.
When the imperial concubine learned that she had been promoted to the position of captain of the 10th Brigade of the Civil Armed Forces Division, she was a little happy.
But when she learned that Lao Huang was leaving the north for Oil City, her mood quickly dropped.
For more than a year, he had fought side by side with Lao Huang and Xiaoye and experienced many things.
Now that we have to part ways, I feel a little reluctant to let go.
But she also knows that orders cannot be disobeyed.
After the meeting, Lao Huang found the imperial concubine.
"Congratulations, you can finally lead a team alone." Lao Huang smiled awkwardly.
A smile appeared on the corner of the imperial concubine's lips, "Congratulations to you too, you are going to the trading market to show off your talents."
"Old Huang, I have always felt that your abilities can actually play a greater role. Now that the base has seen you and given you a platform to display your abilities, you must seize the opportunity."
"I will have to rely on you from now on, hahaha."
Lao Huang shook his head, "Actually, I don't really want to go."
"Ah? Why?" The imperial concubine looked confused.
In fact, she has never been able to understand that Lao Huang, a man who is obviously so smart and capable, has to hide his clumsiness.
Lao Huang thought of the past and sighed:
"The world is fair. The more you get, the more you get, and the corresponding costs and risks you have to pay."
"I am not young anymore, and my only dream is to live peacefully and steadily, without being too tired, not too busy, and not having too many twists and turns."
"Managing the trading market is not that simple."
"If you can manage it well, that's what you should do. If you can't manage it well, you'll have to bear a lot of responsibility."
The imperial concubine stretched out her right hand and waved her fist.
"Others may not be able to do it, but you, Lao Huang, can definitely do it."
Lao Huang looked at the imperial concubine and suddenly said:
"You should pay more attention to yourself when you are in the northern border. The people in the outer city are relatively stable now, but if there is an invasion from foreign enemies, they may not be so obedient."
"Um."
The imperial concubine nodded seriously, "Okay."
...
The next day, Lao Huang and Xiao Ye took the helicopter piloted by Chang Sheng and headed to Oil City.
In oil city.
Because the zombie generator is put into use, the trading market has no power restrictions at night.
The business district has become very lively and prosperous, and the transaction volume has increased a lot in the past few days.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
On the main road of the trading market.
A motorcade was heading towards the gate of the trading market.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Zhengping, who was sitting on the armored vehicle, was full of excitement. He looked at Lao Qin sitting next to him and said:
"Uncle Qin, I still want to thank you for being willing to come out with me. If you didn't come with me, I might not have the chance to go to Southern Paradise this time."
Lao Qin waved his hand and said with a smile:
"There's nothing to be thankful for. I'm just a soy sauce guy. Let's go have a look and take a spin."
Li Zhengping knew Lao Qin's abilities very well, and he also knew his limitations after honing his skills in the trading market.
Too young and too little experience.
So he said politely to Lao Qin:
"Uncle Qin, if I do something wrong in the following process, just say it, I am still young and I don't understand many things."
Hearing what Li Zhengping said, Lao Qin was very pleased.
He is afraid of people who are headstrong and conceited.
Li Zhengping is willing to listen to the advice, and at least he can ensure that the handover work to Southern Paradise will not cause too many twists and turns.
"After leaving the trading market, I will give you my first suggestion."
Lao Qin pointed to the explosion-proof vehicle in front and said:
"Any convoy needs an outpost. The outpost can see the road conditions ahead of the convoy in advance, including whether there are enemies, zombies and other messy things."
"If the outpost finds that the road ahead is blocked, it can contact the convoy in time without taking the wrong route."
"good."
Li Zhengping followed the good example and asked:
"Then which vehicles should serve as outposts, and how far away from the convoy do the outposts need to be?"
Lao Qin thought for a while and said:
"It takes at least half an hour, that's twenty-five kilometers."
"Just let the two explosion-proof vehicles in front be at the front. They are more maneuverable."
"Okay." Li Zhengping nodded and replied.
Soon, the convoy drove to Wengcheng.
Liu Jinglue, who was originally responsible for the registration work in Wengcheng, was promoted to the position of deputy director of internal affairs, so the registration work here was handed over to Cao Le.
Cao Le has been a member of Dazhangshu Base for three or four years and is a serious old man of Dazhangshu Base.
Before the end of the world, he was a veteran who had been in the army for eight years and was discharged. However, he joined the army when he was 18 years old and was discharged after he was 26 years old.
Later, I went to a lathe factory within the system and worked under Lao Qin.
Seeing Lao Qin in the motorcade, he quickly stood up and greeted Lao Qin.
Lao Qin smiled and waved to him.
Your own fleet needs to be inspected when it comes in, but basically doesn't need to be inspected when it goes out.
Stayed briefly for two minutes,
I simply made a registration to go out to perform the mission. After filling in the registration information with the number of people going out, the number of vehicles, and some necessary information about the mission destination, the convoy was released.
Once out of the trading market.
Li Zhengping immediately asked the drone team to take turns taking the drones into the air. Li Yu's high-altitude bird's-eye view allowed him to maintain an understanding of the ground situation.
At the same time, two explosion-proof vehicles were dispatched as outposts, driving ahead first to explore the road.
Then, everyone in the team was reminded again to keep the distance between the teams and stay vigilant.
After Commander Yang was attacked on the road last time, a motorcycle team was added to the convoy.
It is to flexibly support the front and rear of the team.
After Xingyunliushui finished doing this, he looked at Lao Qin and asked:
"Uncle Qin, what else do you need to add?"
Lao Qin smiled and said: "Not yet, but..."
"When we get to Southern Paradise, you have to pay attention to some issues during the handover.
First, reconcile the account book. Didn’t the minister give you the supply form in the Southern Paradise? It is said that Master Hu gave it to the city lord, and the city lord gave it to the minister. After we get there, we will reconcile the account book as soon as possible..."
.......
Li Zhengping pricked up his ears and listened carefully, secretly writing down the things Lao Qin mentioned in his mind.
.......
Big camphor tree base.
morning.
It's hot and the cicadas are chirping early in the morning.
The screaming is annoying.
There is something special about this day,
Li Yu took the top brass of the base and many combatants to the Heroes Monument in the Fourth Outer City.
This is the burial day for Xie Wen and Huang Zheng, who were attacked and killed a week ago when Lieutenant Commander Yang was leading a grain transport team on the road to Oil City.
On this mountain, there stands a tall stone tablet.
On the stone tablet, Longwu Silver Snake writes several big characters: Monument to the Great Camphor Tree Heroes!
Under the large characters, dozens of names were written.
Among these names, there are not only people from inner and outer cities, but also people from inner and outer cities.
Some of them are still non-staff members and have been listed because of their great contributions.
At this time, two new names were added to the stone tablet: Xie Wen and Huang Zheng.
There was a man standing on the right side of Ju Tianrui. This man's eyes were red and he was looking at the urn that was placed in the tomb.
This person is none other than Huang Zheng.
He and Huang Zheng have the same surname but different first names. They used to perform tasks in the same team.
Huang Zheng used to be his subordinate, brother, and buddy.
Later, when Zhongshi Yang went north to transport combatants who were inexperienced and capable of fighting, he sent Huang Zheng there.
Both of them are bald, and Xiao Jun and the others used to make jokes all the time.
It is said that they are twin brothers, both have bald heads, and their names are pronounced the same.
The two of them have very similar temperaments, and they are kind of like each other.
The other side.
Lao Lu's face was also full of grief. Xie Wen was a member of his team that had been with him for nearly ten years.
When he thought about Xie Wen's death, he felt a little uncomfortable.
The car overturned and he was stabbed several times. Before he died, he still held on to the enemy's trouser legs to prevent him from running away.
The atmosphere is solemn and solemn.
There were hundreds of people present, all wearing black combat uniforms.
There was a sad expression on his face.
Li Yu looked solemn and said to everyone:
"Xie Wen and Huang Zheng were attacked by enemies while transporting grain a week ago and died!"
"They defend the dignity of the camphor tree with their lives, defend our precious food with their lives, and protect the camphor tree with their lives!"
"They are heroes, the heroes of Da Zhangshu Base, and their names will remain in our hearts forever."
"salute!"
Li Yu shouted.
Then he took the lead in saluting the two tombstones.
Whoosh!
Hundreds of people behind him saluted in unison.
Salute to those two tombstones and dozens of tombstones next to them.
These people protect the Da Zhangshu base with their lives.
Be a real hero!
This monument has been established at the Da Zhangshu Base for three years.
More and more names appear on the monument.
Liu Duoduo died protecting the base during the natural disaster...
Each living life has now become a name.
However, Da Zhangshu Base treats the families and relatives of these heroes very favorably.
For non-staff personnel who die for the base and make significant contributions, their immediate family members can be directly promoted to out-of-city personnel.
Without significant contribution, immediate family members of cooperating personnel can also be promoted to non-staff.
After people from the inner and outer cities sacrificed their lives, their families were given even more preferential treatment.
