Chapter 924 Don’t rush to be first when the water flows
Your province.
Copper market.
It was already dark. There were so many people in Li Yu's group, and they were driving more than 300 cars. There was no spacious place that could not accommodate them.
So when it was still an hour before dark, the third uncle looked for a suitable stopping point ahead.
I looked for some factories in towns and villages and some parks in the suburbs of cities, but I couldn't find anything suitable. Finally, I saw a branch campus of a college or university in the suburbs.
This college covers a relatively small area, separated by a road, with an area of more than 100 acres on the east and west sides. Such an area can fully accommodate so many vehicles.
For them, this area is just right. If it were too big, it would be troublesome for them to patrol at night.
Eastern College.
The vehicle drove into the gate of this school. The gate of this school is not big, only six or seven meters wide.
The door was open, the ground inside was covered with fallen leaves, and black plastic bags and other garbage were flying in the air.
Rumble——
The vehicle drove in and made a clicking sound as it passed the speed bump.
The entire school is not big, with only a dozen or so scattered buildings, and an artificial lake in the center. However, after being exposed to the sun for the past two days, the water level has become very low.
"Mr. Li, let's check the safety issues now." Ju Tianrui got off the infantry fighting vehicle, picked up the walkie-talkie and said to Li Yu.
"Okay, pay attention to safety." The RV slowed down and Li Yu said looking at the big green trees outside the window.
Afterwards, Ju Tianrui took dozens of combatants to those buildings to check whether there were any survivors or zombies inside, so as to avoid them suddenly appearing when everyone was resting at night.
The vehicle slowed down and stopped on the side of the road.
Li Yu got off the car and looked up to see that the school was in devastation. The walls of the building were covered with ivy. The walls seemed to be soaked in water due to heavy rains, and after being exposed to the weather, the walls were somewhat black and cracked.
The road was covered with sand and fallen leaves, adding to the desolation.
The other side.
Lao Luo took the combatants and some non-staff personnel such as Yu Ming to check the loopholes in the school wall.
This time nearly a hundred non-staff personnel came, and firearms and bullets were distributed to each of them.
Other collaborators do not have this.
Soon, it got dark.
In the school, the car lights illuminated the central area, and beside the car there were people squatting on the roadside to rest.
Thumb thump thump——
Li Yu looked up and looked at the place where the footsteps came from.
It was Ju Tianrui who went to the building to investigate safety issues.
"Mr. Li, we have already checked and found some zombies, and we have eliminated them all."
"Yeah." Li Yu nodded slightly.
"It's just that we found some bedding and clothing of some survivors, as well as some daily necessities on the third floor of Building B. From the looks of it, they must have left not long ago. I don't know if they will come back." Ju Tianrui continued.
said.
Li Yu thought for a while and said:
"It's okay. We'll stay one night and then leave. Just strengthen the security tonight. By the way, talk to Yu Mingming and Wenyang and let them participate in the duty tonight. The place is big here, the wall is not high, and the manpower on duty is
Not quite enough.”
Hearing what Li Yu said, Ju Tianrui breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he also felt that with just them defending, the pressure was indeed a bit high.
Nothing useful was found in this school, not even a stool.
After all, in the previous extremely cold weather, everything that could be burned was burned for warmth.
Li Yu and the others did not feel disappointed. After all, for them, they had gained enough from this trip.
I came here to stay for just one night.
Crackling~
The temperature at night is much lower than during the day, and the burning fire can not only provide lighting but also bring some warmth.
at the same time.
Big camphor tree base.
In the interrogation room in the inner city, the lights are bright.
There is an iron chair in the center, and a man sits on top.
The man was tied with iron chains, which locked his feet and hands. There were three locks on the iron chains, making it impossible to escape.
There was blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, his clothes were in tatters, and he looked a little miserable.
"Don't hit me. I've told you everything I know. And I haven't thought about what to do. I'm just holding a protest. I was also seduced by Qiu Yuanze and others into joining, so please spare me."
There were four or five people standing in front of him.
It was the second uncle, the eldest uncle, Li Hang and Ding Jiu.
"Second uncle, uncle, I feel like I won't be able to find out anything if I keep asking." Li Hang put the red-hot iron rod in his hand into the bucket.
The red-hot iron rod made a squeaking sound when it touched the cold water.
The second uncle and the eldest uncle nodded, and then walked out of the interrogation room together.
After walking out of the interrogation room, the uncle looked at the man guarding the door, Zhongshi Yang, and said, "Watch him, don't let him escape."
This Zhongshi Yang was the team member who joined early in the morning with Lao Lu and others.
Last year, he got together with Song Min's optimistic Xiaohan, who recently became pregnant. He and Xiaohan planned to have the child.
Whether it is before the apocalypse or after the apocalypse, giving birth to a child is something that requires courage.
However, in order to increase the loyalty of people in the inner and outer cities, the Da Zhangshu Base also encourages childbirth for future considerations.
Today, within the inner and outer city of Dazhangshu Base.
In addition to Li Hang, five or six children have been born in the inner and outer cities recently in the past two years.
This is their hope for the future, reproduction, and far-reaching significance.
........
I heard my uncle’s instructions.
Commander Yang nodded seriously and said, "Okay, Chief of Defense."
Then he turned around and entered the interrogation room. After checking that there were no problems with He Zhi's handcuffs and chains, he wrapped He Zhi with tape and finally put a sack bag over his head.
After doing all this, he sat down a few meters away from He Zhi, picked up a tea cup and drank water.
He is very satisfied with his current life. He did not have a wife before the end of the world. Instead, he has a daughter-in-law during the end of the world. This daughter-in-law is several years younger than him.
And now I have a child.
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh.
"very nice."
...
But it was said that the second uncle and others came to the inner city conference room after leaving the interrogation room.
The second uncle held a piece of paper in his hand, which contained the information he had just recorded, including dozens of names he had confessed.
The uncle looked at the three of them with bright eyes and spoke first:
"They will take action in the morning of tomorrow. Xiaoyu and the others will not be able to arrive until the evening of the day after tomorrow at the earliest. If we cannot wait for them, we must be prepared. The only time left for us now is tomorrow."
The second uncle picked up the paper in his hand and looked at it repeatedly.
Then he spoke:
"Hundreds of people, haha! If we hadn't known the news in advance, they would have caused some trouble. Then let's follow Xiaoyu's method. There won't be so many opportunities for them. Those who will cause trouble will then
Kill them all."
When Li Hang heard this, his eyes were a little angry and he said murderously:
"These people are really dissatisfied. It's good that we didn't drive them away, but they still want to cause trouble. It's not a pity to die!"
The uncle was silent for a while, put his hands on his lower back, and seemed to accidentally touch the pistol tied to his waist.
"Well, let me bring some people there tomorrow. There are only about twenty people from the outer city on Guo Peng's side. All the non-staff personnel have been sent out. There is no way to trust other collaborators."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hang said:
"Uncle, let me go with you."
Before the uncle could refuse, the second uncle said:
"no."
"Why? I followed my brother on a mission before, and there was no problem. I made up for all the firearms training in the base."
The second uncle and the eldest uncle looked at each other. The reason they asked Li Hang not to go out was naturally not because of Li Hang's fighting ability.
After all, when the Da Zhangshu Base was first established, Li Hang had been following Li Yu, fighting with real swords and guns, and he had rich practical experience.
However, since Li Hang got married and had a child, Li Hang inexplicably rarely went out on missions and rarely participated in risky affairs.
Li Hang is only in his twenties and is young and energetic. He also wants to follow his brother Li Yu like Li Tie and others, to contribute to the Da Zhangshu base and go out to perform tasks.
Although it is dangerous, it is thrilling and exciting. Being able to do things together with a group of brothers naturally interests him more than staying in the base every day.
He has been at the base for a long time. Since Li Kaitai was born, he has never left the Zhangshu Base.
People are always like this. If they are busy or in a dangerous and difficult situation, they will want to rest.
But if you stay in a comfortable state, you will want to go out and have a adventure.
"Second uncle, uncle, just let me go, I can help." Li Hang said again.
The tone was full of expectation.
The second uncle and the first uncle looked at each other to communicate. In fact, they were mainly worried about an accident. After all, Li Hang had just become a father.
The second uncle sighed and said, "Okay, uncle, just ask Xiaohang to go with him."
The uncle heard that Uncle Li Yu agreed. Originally, he was a little loose after seeing Li Hang say it twice, so he agreed at this time.
He said, "Okay, Xiaohang, then you go with me tomorrow."
The second uncle looked at the two of them and said:
"Since they plan to cause trouble outside the fifth satellite city, don't alert them. Just arrive there before tomorrow evening. After entering the fifth satellite city, try not to let anyone see you."
The uncle thought for a while and said:
"Well, it just so happens that it's time to deliver food to the satellite city. We will hide in the transport truck and drive directly to the building downstairs of the satellite city. We will hide in the building."
.....
Everyone discussed about going out to support Guo Peng tomorrow, and then contacted Guo Peng about the next arrangements, asking him to be prepared to respond tomorrow.
After the discussion, the second uncle and the first uncle left one after another.
Only Ding Jiu and Li Hang were left.
Ding Jiu, who had made no comment during the whole process just now, saw that Li Hang was about to return to his residence and quickly called out: "Xiao Hang."
"father in law."
Under the streetlight, Ding Jiu said with concern: "Xiaohang, you must pay attention to safety tomorrow. In addition, you have to tell Qingqing over there."
"I understand, don't worry." Li Hang smiled and said easily.
The two of them walked together and returned to the residential area.
...........
In oil city.
Xiao Jun, Dongtai, Zuo Ruxue and others were sitting in the conference room.
"So what the headquarters is saying now is, let us wait first?" Dongtai said with some worry.
"Yes, Mr. Li and the others will be back soon, and they will just deliver supplies to us then." Xiao Jun nodded and said.
Zuo Ruxue frowned slightly, looked at the map spread out on the table, and said:
"It's less than 500 kilometers from Southern Paradise to Oil City and can be reached in one day. Although they seem to be very sincere, we have to be on guard."
"Those nearby cooperation personnel have already told them that if they see an unfamiliar convoy outside, please contact us immediately."
Xiao Jun sat down, placed his palms flat on the table, and then tapped the table with his index finger.
"Well, don't worry too much. I've been to Southern Paradise before with Mr. Li and his friends, and it's not too powerful. As long as there are heavy artillery and mortars, Oil City can definitely be saved."
Dongtai and Zuo Ruxue, who were next to them, felt much relieved when they heard what Xiao Jun said.
Zuo Ruxue stood up, and then said: "Okay, then I will go out and process the produced oil. Recently, there are fewer and fewer oil tanks containing oil. It is not an option to keep hoarding it here. I hope the base will send people soon.
Come and receive it."
"Okay, I will report this matter to the base tomorrow."
"Hmm, then I'll go out first."
...
Zuo Ruxue left the conference room and was stunned for a moment when she saw the stars in the sky.
Unknowingly, she has been coming to Oil City from the Da Zhangshu Base for some time. She is here with her people, learning how to extract oil and process the oil from the original partners in Oil City.
differentiation.
In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed.
It has been almost two years since she joined the Da Zhangshu base, and she was promoted from a cooperative staff member to a non-staff member.
The non-staff staff in the same period as her, such as Xiao Hu and Guo Peng, have long since become outside city staff.
Even Zhu Xiao, who joined later than her, now became an outsider.
She understands that everything is based on contribution points.
The sisters she leads are physically worse than men.
However, they worked steadily, step by step, little by little, and finally got a good opportunity to come to the oil city to help.
As non-staff members, they gained more trust from Xiao Jun and others than those who worked with the original oil city.
Speaking of Xiao Jun, Xiao Jun came to the Zhangshu Base later than Zuo Ruxue.
Back then, when Xiao Jun was still living outside the wall, Zuo Ruxue had dealt with him.
Unexpectedly, everyone she met entered the outer city faster than her.
But she didn't have anything to say. After all, Xiao Jun and the others were strong in combat and had made many great contributions.
Recently in Oil City, due to the shortage of manpower, Xiao Jun handed over some internal affairs to Zuo Ruxue.
Zuo Ruxue was careful and conscientious and handled the things she was told in an orderly manner. Xiao Jun was quite impressed by her.
"The running water does not compete to be first, but it competes to keep flowing. Take your time." Zuo Ruxue looked at the starry sky, lowered her head and murmured.
Taking advantage of the lights in the oil city, we slowly walked towards the oil well.
