Some people wanted to get closer to the wall again, hoping to see more clearly.
After all, it was normal for someone to think they were hallucinating when a giant wall suddenly appeared in the middle of nowhere.
A man with a buzz cut walked straight out of the forest and headed towards the wall.
"Stop! Don't go out there," a man behind him suddenly whispered.
The man with the buzz cut didn't want to bother with him, thinking, 'Who are you to tell me what to do?'
Seeing that the man with the buzz cut ignored him, another tattooed man stepped forward, grabbed the man with the buzz cut, and pulled him back towards the forest.
On the wall, Li Yu in the watchtower seemed to hear something; his hearing had always been quite good.
He turned his head, looking in one direction, and saw a few figures flash by.
But the figures moved very quickly and disappeared in an instant.
"Someone? More than one person," Li Yu's eyes narrowed. He also wondered if he had seen incorrectly. However, being cautious, he picked up the walkie-talkie.
He spoke to his aunt, Yu Tong, who was on duty in the monitoring room: "Yu Tong, check camera 35. See if there was anyone there two minutes ago."
"Okay," Yu Tong immediately replied.
With so many cameras, it was normal not to see something immediately, but the cameras also maintained their recording function.
Yu Tong, Xiao Lata, was sitting nearby, setting out lunch, and hearing what Li Yu had just said, she asked with some surprise, "Yu Ge, was there someone?"
Li Yu said with uncertainty, "I'm not sure; I didn't see clearly just now. Let Yu Tong check the camera."
Xiao Lata Yu Tong put down the food in her hand, her gaze fixed on the outside of the base. After watching for a while, she took out binoculars and looked further away.
But due to the obstruction of the forest, she couldn't see very clearly.
Less than 30 seconds later.
Yu Tong replied, "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, there are people, people! There are many people! I just saw seven people, but they appeared for a moment and then left. Just now, someone seemed to be coming towards our base, but they were pulled back by someone else."
Li Yu remained calm after hearing this.
He pressed the walkie-talkie in his hand and spoke to his second uncle, who was having lunch in the base: "Second Uncle, we have a situation. Call Second Uncle, Third Uncle, First Uncle, Yang Tianlong, and the others over. Urgent matter! Bring your guns. Also, notify everyone else that the base is entering Level 3 alert status."
Since someone was able to find this place, it was unclear how many people there were; perhaps only these seven, but it was also possible there were many. This feeling of uncertainty made him very uncomfortable.
When the enemy's strength is unclear, it is best to imagine them as more powerful.
His second uncle was eating when he heard what Li Yu said and didn't ask anything.
He immediately put down his food and then informed everyone of the situation.
He called his third uncle and others, grabbed their guns, and ran towards the wall. Before leaving, he didn't forget to bring his share of the food.
Man is iron, rice is steel. One meal missed, and you're starving.
Moreover, in the apocalypse, wasting food was an extremely foolish thing to do.
Everyone ran to the watchtower. The watchtower was connected to the wall, and since it couldn't accommodate so many people, some were on the wall.
"Xiao Yu, what's going on?" his second uncle asked.
"Someone's here. I just saw a few figures, and later confirmed with Yu Tong. She told me that seven or eight people appeared outside our base just now," Li Yu said seriously, his eyes full of sternness.
"Someone?" Yang Tianlong said from beside him.
"Well, let's prepare early then. We don't know how many people they've brought. We need to strengthen our defenses. Our base wall is too long," his second uncle said with a slight frown, his voice cold.
"I was just thinking the same thing. The back gate is guarded by Hao Xian and Hao Ran today. Xiao Hang, you go check on them later," Li Yu said.
"Currently, our base wall is maintained with 4 people on duty, two guarding the watchtower, and two patrolling the wall. Given the current situation, I think we should increase that by four times."
"16 people, maintaining this number on the wall, all carrying submachine guns and rifles. 2 people per group, 4 groups in fixed positions, and 4 groups continuously patrolling the wall.
Also, move all the light machine guns and ammunition at the main gate up. And grenades. Move them all up.
Furthermore, add two more people to the monitoring room. Report any situation immediately."
Li Yu methodically arranged everything that needed to be done.
No one objected; countless past decisions had proven Li Yu's correctness.
"Should we go out and look for them?" his second uncle thought for a moment and asked.
Everyone pondered, and Li Yu also thought for a moment, but ultimately decided against it. They didn't know the enemy's situation, whether they had guns, or how many there were.
If they went out rashly, what if they were picked off one by one?
Hearing Li Yu's arrangements, everyone began to act according to their assigned tasks.
On the other side, the tattooed man was pulling the man with the buzz cut back.
Some people behind still wanted to rush to the wall, but they were stopped by a dozen or so people. This group was the one from Poyang Lake: the Squad Leader, Second Brother, and Fourth Brother.
"Squad Leader, what should we do?" Fourth Brother asked.
"Let's wait and see if we can get a share," the Squad Leader said.
The group who found the base returned to the main force. Da Bei Tou, the mature man, saw them return and asked, "Well, did you find it?"
The tattooed man said, "We found it. When we went over, they were just cooking, and it smelled incredibly good. They also have a super long wall, about 12 meters high."
"How many people?"
"For now, we only saw two people. I guess they probably haven't discovered us," the tattooed man said.
"Hmm, you did very well." The mature man seemed to remember something and said to the others, "Do you want to eat? If you do, then don't go over there. Can you climb over that wall?"
Many people, after hearing Da Bei Tou's words, suppressed their small urges. They indeed wanted to go over. But after seeing that wall, many of their ideas were dispelled.
How to break in was a big problem.
The Squad Leader felt extremely uncomfortable. It was precisely because their defenses were insufficient that they were breached by these refugees.
Sigh.
Da Bei Tou, the mature man, asked, "Did you clearly see what weapons they have?"
The tattooed man said, "I just saw crossbows. And spears."
Da Bei Tou, the mature man, let out a sigh of relief, then seemed to remember something else and said, "Do they look like soldiers? Or something similar."
"Probably not, it was a man and a woman."
"A man and a woman, huh. Hmm."
Da Bei Tou, the mature man, looked at the brother and sister crouching nearby. An idea emerged in his mind.
Since they had met before...
Since it was difficult to force their way through the wall...
Then, letting this brother and sister go to ask for help, if they could open the gate, might be an opportunity.
Having made up his mind, Da Bei Tou, the mature man, put on that kind and warm smile and looked at them: "Would you two be willing to do a good deed?"
