"What's the situation?" Li Yu sat directly on the platform in the center of the Weng City, looking lazy and relaxed.
Captain Lü didn't beat around the bush and said, "Our previous Liberation City was disbanded because of some squad leaders. These squad leaders took up a large amount of supplies, and then conflicts arose. The person I saw yesterday was one of those former squad leaders."
Swallowing his throat, Captain Lü continued, "He brought a group of people over and started searching over there. I don't know what they're looking for.
We originally wanted to follow them, but it was getting dark and we couldn't keep up. It's too dangerous at night, so I didn't come to report in time. That's why I came over first thing this morning when it got light."
"Did you see them when you came over just now?" Li Yu's eyes flickered with thought.
Since the last time he killed a thousand refugees, some people fled to Liberation City. Although some refugees were killed in Liberation City, most of them were still alive.
These refugees must know where their Military Base is, and it's possible they told the squad leader from Liberation City.
If this squad leader from Liberation City knows the location of the Military Base, then...
As Li Yu thought, the coldness in his eyes became more apparent.
It wasn't in vain that he had searched for firearms and ammunition in the Military Base early on; now he feared nothing.
It's just the current number of people...
70 people is still a bit few, but it's enough for now.
Too many people, not to mention management issues, just the pressure of logistics would be enough to give him a headache.
"How many people do you have over there?" Li Yu asked abruptly.
Captain Lü heard this and said with some surprise, "We still have 16 people. 12 men and 4 women."
As he spoke, he recalled that 30 people had escaped from Liberation City, and now there were only a dozen left.
He sighed.
He looked at Li Yu, who was wearing a tracksuit in front of him, and thought of how he had once warned him, but...
It was all in the past.
"You guys keep an eye out, hmm, keep a close watch for me. If there's any news, contact me anytime. I'll give you a walkie-talkie. You can contact me then," Li Yu said.
Immediately, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, took one, and gave the rest to Captain Lü. Captain Lü took them without refusing; he hadn't smoked in several weeks.
For an Old Smoker like him, this was a matter of life and death.
Exhaling slowly, Li Yu said through the smoke, "Is there enough food now?"
Every time Captain Lü heard this question, he felt a strange sensation, but he was also very grateful that Li Yu would proactively bring it up, so he said, "There's still some."
Li Yu saw his Second Uncle appear on the wall and said, "Second Uncle, please bring over two bags of potatoes and sweet potatoes. And, also a bag of corn."
Second Uncle had been standing on the wall for a while, and seeing Li Yu talking to them, he didn't go over to disturb them.
Second Uncle didn't know who these people were at first, but after Li Zhengping told him, he remembered. Li Yu had mentioned to him before that he admired Captain Lü very much and had even had contact with him later.
When he went out before, he had also greeted him, saying that if someone named Lü came, they could be received.
It must be them, Second Uncle just thought.
Hearing Li Yu talking to him, Second Uncle said, "Okay, I just asked Li Haoran to get them."
Second Uncle said as he came down.
Li Yu saw Second Uncle come down, so he introduced him to the three people next to him, "This is my Second Uncle. Second Uncle, these friends are from the former Liberation City and are now in the next town."
Captain Lü and the others immediately said, "Hello, Second Uncle."
Second Uncle saw that Captain Lü was only about five years younger than him, especially the older person next to him who also called him Second Uncle.
For a moment, being called Second Uncle felt a bit unaccustomed, but he quickly reacted: "Haha, hello everyone, my name is Li Hongcheng, just call me Old Cheng."
"Okay, Second Uncle," the three stood straight and said politely.
Second Uncle: "..."
For the three of them, it was really an awkward situation. In their communication with Li Yu, they always treated Li Yu with respect, as if they were peers.
Now, Second Uncle, who was a generation older than Li Yu, especially seeing how respectful Li Yu was to him, if they directly called him Old Cheng, wouldn't that make them a generation older than Li Yu?
Especially since they were still seeking help from Li Yu.
Li Yu didn't pay attention to these details, and then said, "They came because they found some strangers. Someone from their former Liberation City was with some strangers nearby, probably up to no good, so Captain Lü and his team came to warn us."
Second Uncle heard this, frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed, and with his arms crossed, he said to Captain Lü and the others, "Thank you, thank you for coming to tell us this. In this apocalypse, we must stick together."
Second Uncle's words made them feel as if they were basking in a spring breeze, especially seeing Second Uncle just handed them food, their hearts were even more filled with a better longing for Li Yu's Military Base.
This Military Base, it seems, everyone is a talent, and they speak so nicely, the three of them really love it here.
Alas...
If only they could join them, he then shook his head. They also knew very well that the direct absorption of people in Liberation City led to a series of problems that eventually erupted.
Now, to ask them to accept them, on what grounds?
After thinking about it, there really wasn't anything.
Li Yu looked at them, then told Li Haoran, "Give them some medicine."
In the apocalypse, medicine was scarce. They might need it.
The three of them looked at Li Yu gratefully. With the recent drop in temperature, one or two people in their team had caught a cold, and their fever wouldn't go down. What was more troublesome was the inflamed throat.
Sure enough, Li Yu gave them some common anti-inflammatory drugs, cold medicine, and some antibiotics.
It was so thoughtful. Captain Lü felt like he was seeing his own family when he saw Li Yu and his team.
Holding the items, Captain Lü's face was a bit flushed: "Mr. Li, we've taken too much from you, but we haven't contributed anything to you yet. This time we came to warn you, and we haven't even repaid your past kindness."
Li Yu waved his hand and said, "It's already very good that you came to report so early in the morning. Next, you continue to pay attention. If you find them again, report it to me in time. You don't need to worry about anything else; we will deal with them."
"The person who came from Liberation City and was able to bring people here most likely wants to find us. The purpose is unclear, whether they are friends or foes is also unclear, but it doesn't matter," Li Yu added, his tone filled with murderous intent.
His whole body's hostility instantly erupted. Murderous intent, this kind of thing, is clearly invisible.
But the three of them didn't know why, they could clearly feel that Li Yu had killed many people!
Thinking of some previous rumors, they heard from those fleeing refugees that more than a thousand people had died near the Military Base.
Captain Lü and the other two exchanged glances, their eyes filled with dread.
