The sky is full of stars, the heat of the day has faded away, and the night breeze is gentle.
In the silent night sky, the roars of zombies came from under the wall from time to time, breaking the silence.
Li Yu leaned on the wall behind him and quietly looked at the plain outside the wall.
It was pitch black outside, without a single light.
"Brother, are we going back to Da Zhangshu base tomorrow?" Li Tie came up from the wall and said after seeing Li Yu.
Li Yu nodded slightly and said: "Well, we will go back tomorrow. But it is estimated that Ju Tianrui and the others will be able to reach Oil City at noon tomorrow. When he arrives, we will return to the base."
"Okay, then I'm going to refuel the helicopter first."
"By the way, can I try flying a helicopter on the way back? Uncle Ant taught me at the base last time, and I have practiced it many times." Li Tie asked with expectation on his face.
Li Yu thought about it and saw that Li Tie really wanted to try it. He definitely needed more practice to become more familiar with this thing.
When they were at the Da Zhangshu base, they often asked Lao Luo, Ant Jackal and others to get on the helicopter to teach them.
It’s just that in the past, it was all short-distance driving, and the furthest distance when flying a helicopter was only a few dozen kilometers around the base of Da Zhangshu.
"What did Uncle Ant say? Are you familiar with it?" Li Yu turned back to Li Tie and asked.
"I asked him, and he said that I have met the basic requirements. All that is left is experience and more practice." Li Tie said quickly.
After hearing that the ants said that Li Tie was fine, Li Yu naturally had no objection.
So he said: "Since he has no problem, I can do it too, then you can try it tomorrow."
"Okay!" Li Tie's tone was full of surprise.
"Then I'll go down. Brother, you should rest early." After Li Tie finished speaking, he walked under the wall.
When Li Tie left, there was only one person on duty left around Li Yu.
This person had been following Xiao Jun, and now he secretly looked towards Li Yu.
Li Yu noticed his gaze and had a smile on his face.
Walked over.
"Brother, how do you feel about being here in Oil City?" Li Yu walked over and said with a smile.
Hearing Li Yu call him brother, Pan Hai looked a little excited and said with some stumble: "Very good."
"Do you smoke?" Li Yu asked seemingly inexplicably.
"Ah? Smoke, but..."
Li Yu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, and threw the remaining half of the pack to Pan Hai, who was on duty next to him.
Tobacco, alcohol, and food are all hard currency in the apocalypse, and they can be exchanged with others.
Pan Hai took the cigarette in a panic. Although there was only half a pack left, he didn't dislike it at all. He even said excitedly: "Mr. Li, how good is this..."
"You're very good. You've worked hard on duty. Just take it and I'll go down first." After finishing speaking, Li Yu lit the cigarette in his hand and walked towards the wall.
"Thank you, Mr. Li." Pan Hai said quickly.
After Li Yu heard this, he waved to him without looking back and walked straight on.
Pan Hai's heart was surging, and his heart was very complicated. He admired Li Yu more and more as he watched Li Yu leave.
The man in front of him had a great reputation and had single-handedly built the Zhangshu Base. Whether he had heard it before or seen it while performing missions together, he felt that this Mr. Li was extremely powerful.
But such a powerful man.
As the absolute leader of Da Zhangshu Base, such a man.
But he was able to treat himself like this. He had the guts to die for his confidant, and his heart was filled with infinite emotion.
Everyone hopes that others can recognize and see themselves, even if they are just a little person.
Everyone needs to be respected and wants to be needed.
But the few simple words Li Yu just said to him gave him a strong sense of confidence.
As the top leader of the base, he said that I was very good!
Even if this is just a casual saying, it can make him happy for a long time.
This is not the first time that Li Yu has done this. Occasionally, he will chat with them and make jokes with them.
When I am happy, I will fight with them in a tug-of-war, and one person will challenge five people.
Invisibly, these people were conquered by Li Yu's personality charm and respected him more and more.
...
Southern paradise.
Chen Er led the convoy and hurried back to the base.
They almost failed to return before dark. The return journey was a battle against time, which was extremely thrilling.
Almost as soon as he entered the gate of the base, the captain on duty at the gate said to Chen Er: "After Master Hu asks you to come back, come over immediately."
Chen Er nodded when he heard this and said: "Understood, I'll go there right away."
Then he told Wu Li next to him: "Don't put the oil in the warehouse yet. Leave it in the parking lot for now and wait for me to come back later."
"good."
Chen Er got out of the car and walked towards the building where Master Hu was located.
soon.
Chen Er then came downstairs and temporarily handed over all the weapons downstairs before being taken upstairs by someone.
Tap tap tap——
"You're back?" Master Hu slowly turned his head, put down the water glass and glanced behind him.
"Master Tiger."
"Well, how was it? Did it succeed?" Master Hu looked at him with a trace of expectation in his eyes.
"Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission and reached cooperation with Oil City, and we traded the medicines we brought here with them."
"However, their exchange ratio was a bit low. One truck of medicine we brought was only exchanged for six trucks of 48 tons of oil."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Master Hu's eyes, but it was nothing.
Just ask: "What's their attitude? When is the next transaction?"
Chen Er opened his mouth and said:
"The second transaction started a week later. It's just that in addition to medicines, they also hope that we can use the salt and sugar we have in exchange for them. We will also discuss the specific exchange ratio with them at that time."
"Well, although the exchange ratio is a bit low, and the oil exchanged this time is only 48 tons, it is enough. With this oil, the energy crisis problem in the base can be alleviated.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! You have worked hard on this trip, go down and rest early."
After finishing speaking, he seemed to remember something and added another sentence:
"By the way, have you met Feng Wei and the others? They didn't cause any damage, right?"
Chen Er quickly said:
"I just wanted to report this to you. After we set off from the base, we ran non-stop to the Oil City.
Fortunately, Feng Wei and the others were one step behind us, and when I was communicating with Oil City, they came over and were blocked by Wu Li and the others."
"Besides, Oil City has taken action."
Master Hu was a little surprised, frowned and asked: "Oil City took action, how did they take action?"
Thinking of the power of those two shells, the panic in Chen Er's eyes did not dissipate.
"Five or six kilometers apart, they should have used heavy weapons such as howitzers. Two shells accurately hit Feng Wei and the others, leaving no trace of their bodies.
If it weren't for their help, Feng Wei and the others would probably have escaped."
"Heavy weapons were used at that time. On the surface, they were helping us attack Feng Wei, but they were actually a demonstration against us. What happened next?"
Mr. Hu's eyes burned and he asked.
"Later, they asked me to enter the oil city to discuss cooperation.
Mr. Hu, your prediction is good. There is indeed another force behind Oil City. That force is called Da Zhangshu Base, which should be in the south. The leader of the headquarters base is named Li, and others call him Mr. Li."
"Also, Mr. Li is very young, but he gives me a feeling, well... how should I put it, a very dangerous feeling."
"By the way, when we were waiting for the transaction, we also saw them driving a helicopter into the Oil City. Mr. Hu, do you remember that some of us saw the helicopter in the sky before? I suspect it is their people, they
Maybe you already know about us."
........
Master Hu listened to Chen Er's report, his brows furrowed tightly and he fell into deep thought.
"It's not simple. Oil City is indeed not simple. This is what we saw. Did you enter Oil City and see what was going on inside?" Master Hu murmured.
Chen Er, who went from standing to sitting next to Mr. Hu, said:
"I went in, but they just asked me to negotiate in a shed near the gate, and I couldn't see what was going on inside."
Master Hu squinted his eyes and nodded:
"It's normal. Everyone is on guard against each other these days. But since they can agree to cooperate with us and have agreed on the time for the next transaction, at least for now it seems that they have no ill intentions towards us."
"Chen Er, you should lead the team there next time. You must have a good relationship with Oil City and never offend them. There can't be any mistakes in the current Southern Paradise..."
Master Hu's tone showed fatigue.
There are so many people in Southern Paradise, internal and external troubles, and constant troubles that make him worry endlessly.
Chen Er saw Master Hu's fatigue and sighed in his heart.
After a while, Chen Er thought about what Mr. Li specifically said when he finally left.
These words were also something he thought about for a long time but could not figure out.
So he said to Mr. Hu: "Master Hu, the boss behind Oil City, Mr. Li, specially said a few words to me when I left. I never figured it out."
"What?" Mr. Hu became more and more curious about Mr. Li.
I am curious about where the big camphor tree base behind Oil City is, how powerful it is, and how many people there are.
I am also curious about why such a powerful force is a young man, and what kind of supernatural powers this young man has.
"He said that there was someone behind Feng Wei, and suggested that we should check the people around us carefully. Sometimes, if we keep breaking the news, it will lead to chaos. However, Scar was with you at the time, so there is no way he could report the news."
When Mr. Hu heard these words, his expression suddenly changed.
The teacup in my hand was not even steady at this moment.
Bang!
Fall down.
Seeing Master Hu's reaction to what he said, Chen Er had a trace of thought in his eyes.
This Mr. Tiger must know something that he doesn't know, otherwise why would he be so gloomy?
In his memory, Mr. Hu was extremely stable and had never been so rude before.
Mr. Hu must know some inside story.
So, Chen Er hesitated for a while, and finally decided to say what was in his heart.
"Master Hu, I feel that Mr. Li is a little worried that our side is not stable. I also think he is right. We need to make them believe in us. Otherwise, they may end up at odds because of such doubts.
We work together."
Master Hu was silent, closing his eyes and not speaking.
A long time passed.
Mr. Hu then said: "You go down first. Don't put the exchanged oil in the energy warehouse. Put it in the basement of No. 2 first."
Chen Er nodded when he heard this and said, "Okay, Mr. Hu, I'll go down first."
"Um."
On the way down, Chen Er felt something was wrong the more he thought about it.
In the base, there are grain warehouses, energy warehouses, weapons warehouses, and of course other warehouses, but these three warehouses are the most important warehouses in Southern Paradise.
Master Hu is in charge of the grain warehouse and weapons warehouse, but the energy warehouse is in Scar's hands.
Could this have anything to do with Scar?
No, Scar never left Master Hu's residence at that time.
Whoosh!
The people around him, could it be said that the people around Master Hu reported the news?
You know, those people around Master Hu are the ones who have been with Master Hu for the longest time.
Recalling that Mr. Hu had lost his composure just now, Chen Er became more convinced of his suspicions.
.......
After Chen Er left, Mr. Hu sat alone on the spacious third floor balcony.
After a long time, Master Hu called out to Zhou Xing who was standing in the distance.
"Zhou Xing, how long have you been following me?" Master Hu asked.
Zhou Xing was a little confused, but when faced with Master Hu's question, he answered truthfully: "It's been five years, I've been following you since before the zombie outbreak."
"Five years have passed so quickly. What do you think of Scar?" Master Hu leaned forward slightly and put his hands under the table.
Mr. Hu looked straight at Zhou Xing, as if trying to discern something from his face.
Upon hearing this question, Zhou Xing's eyes were full of disgust.
"Scar, although he is the founder of our Southern Paradise, I always feel that he is not sincere. Mr. Hu, I am too talkative. I think there is something fishy about the problems that Scar had last time.
..."
Master Hu looked at him quietly. If he could sit in his position, he could at least look at a person accurately.
The reason why he called Zhou Xing over immediately was that Master Hu could not accept that the person who betrayed him the most was Zhou Xing.
He saved Zhou Xing's life, and Zhou Xing also saved him several times.
Although he is a bodyguard of Master Hu, he is also the captain of the largest team under Master Hu.
He is also his most capable subordinate.
However, if Feng Wei was able to learn the news in advance and escape, Zhou Xing was the first to be questioned.
After all, Zhou Xing was asked to personally lead the team to ambush Feng Wei.
If Zhou Xing rebelled and deliberately let Feng Wei go, it was possible. After all, what Zhou Xing said when he came back was only one-sided.
When Zhou Xing suddenly asked Master Hu, if there was something wrong in his heart, he would definitely be panicked for a moment.
But what instantly appeared in Zhou Xing's eyes was disgust, or disgust from the bottom of his heart, so at least he knew that it wasn't Zhou Xing's problem.
Think back to what Chen Er said just now.
He naturally knew some of the little tricks Scar had done, but he didn't kill him and gave Scar a chance.
Scar also expressed his position truthfully that day, even strongly criticizing Feng Wei, and even said that he would personally deal with Feng Wei.
But now it seems that although Scar did not leave that day, he was still with Master Hu. What if someone reported the news?
Mr. Hu felt a little relieved, now he could at least rule out Zhou Xing.
There were five people following him, and he kept thinking about who these five people might be.
But he couldn't be sure, he could only confirm Zhou Xing first.
He suddenly said: "You can check later to see if any of them left here when Scar stayed at my place that day."
"You mean? Hiss!" Zhou Xing's eyes burst out with murderous intent, and he instantly understood what Mr. Hu meant.
It was impossible for Feng Wei to know the news somehow. Apart from Chen Er, only Mr. Hu himself and a few people around Mr. Hu that day knew about the conversation between Mr. Hu and Scar.
Zhou Xing looked at the guards outside the door, his eyes a little ugly.
"Could it be A Bing?" Zhou Xing said as the images of those people flashed through his mind.
"Go and ask, and everything will become clear who left at that time. Remember, move quickly. After you find out, ask him for all the information he knows." Mr. Hu's eyes were sharp.
"Okay, I understand." Zhou Xing nodded heavily, then stood up and walked towards the balcony door.
Master Hu let out a long breath.
Then he took his hand out from under the table, picked up a cup again, and poured himself a cup of tea.
Under the table, there was a gun stuck, pointing in the direction where Zhou Xing was just now.
If Zhou Xing had lost his composure just now, Master Hu would have exposed it directly.
And, he won't hesitate to shoot.
Even though Zhou Xing has been with him for five years.
Even though Zhou Xing saved his life.
However, a traitor is a traitor, and he will shoot no matter what his reasons are.
