At the entrance of the Official Building, Da Pao and Yang Tianlong escorted the undershirt man towards the armored vehicle.
Suddenly, Da Pao seemed to remember something and asked Lao Xie, "Do you have any burlap sacks or relatively thin clothes here?"
Lao Xie didn't immediately understand what he meant, so Da Pao pointed at the undershirt man. Lao Xie instantly understood, then took off his socks from his shoes and handed them to Da Pao. Da Pao looked at him with disgust and didn't take them.
Lao Xie rummaged through a pile of luggage but didn't find anything suitable. Finally, he saw a fertilizer bag by the roadside, took out a knife, and cut it twice to form a hood-like shape.
He then stepped forward and stuffed the freshly removed, warm socks into the undershirt man's mouth.
The undershirt man looked at the socks, which were faintly steaming and radiating heat, and struggled desperately: "I don't want it, I don't want it, ah wuu..."
It was stuffed full.
Immediately, Lao Xie put the cut fertilizer bag over the undershirt man's head. It wasn't a good fit, so he took it off and trimmed it twice more with the knife.
It was just right.
The fertilizer bag had "Booming Sky Cannon Fertilizer" written on it, positioned perfectly over the undershirt man's head, completely blocking his eyes, with only a small hole left for him to breathe.
Da Pao laughed when he saw it: "Lao Xie, you're a true talent!"
Tianlong walked by and said speechlessly, "Is this really necessary?"
Da Pao scratched his head and said, "It's just a habit, hehe."
Lao Xie: "..."
It's a habit.
Captain Lü and his team's vehicles were driven out. There were three cars in total, all in good condition.
However, the pickup truck they had recently found was no longer necessary to take, so they left it there.
Everyone got into the cars and drove to the entrance.
Beep beep beep!
The horn honked twice, and a person walked over from the opposite side.
It was Third Uncle.
Third Uncle walked like an old farmer. His steps seemed slow, but his speed was not.
In the car, Lao Xie and the others looked at Third Uncle as if he were a divine being.
Third Uncle habitually touched his nose, said nothing, and got into the armored vehicle, sitting in front of the undershirt man.
"Let's go," Li Yu said from another car, seeing Third Uncle get in, and patted Li Tie, who was driving in front of him.
The vehicles started, their roars heading towards the Military Base.
Under the sunlight, the vehicles moved quickly.
Lao Xie and the others in the car watched the rapidly receding roadside trees and rows of houses, their hearts filled with emotion.
Their constantly wandering hearts seemed to have found a harbor.
"Lao Xie, is the Captain really okay?" a slightly younger team member asked. Since he had just joined the police station, he had made quite a few mistakes, but Captain Lü had always been good to him, patiently guiding him.
He hoped Captain Lü would be fine.
Lao Xie pondered for a moment, looking out the window, and said glumly, "The Captain was shot in the shoulder, but the wound isn't deep. He should... be fine. We're going there now, and we'll see Captain Lü soon."
"Mm."
No one spoke. Time flew by, and they arrived at the Military Base's main gate in twenty minutes.
It wasn't Lao Xie's first time here. The first time he came, he was surprised and couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the tall wall.
But for the others, especially those who came with Lao Xie, they looked at the tall wall and saw that people could even stand on it, which showed how thick the wall was.
From the car, everyone looked at this wall, unable to see its end, unable to imagine how big this Military Base was, and unable to imagine what it looked like inside.
This wall looked very sturdy, full of a sense of security.
Second Uncle, who was on the Military Base wall, had already received news from Li Yu and the others. At this moment, he opened the main gate directly, allowing Li Yu and the others' vehicles to enter.
The main gate slowly opened, and the vehicles entered.
After entering the Weng City, the vehicles stopped. Xiao Wu, next to Lao Xie, asked, "Lao Xie, is this Li Yu's Military Base? Why is it so empty around here?"
Lao Xie pointed to another door behind them and said, "This should only be a part of it. The living area should be inside."
Xiao Wu said with surprise, "How big is this Military Base?"
Lao Xie said, "I haven't been inside either. They have a rule here that after coming in from the outside, you have to stay in this place for about ten minutes. You'll see for yourself when we go in later."
"Alright."
Not only Xiao Wu, but all the others who were entering for the first time were infinitely curious about this Military Base. Li Yu and his team had such good equipment and were so formidable; perhaps the inside of the Military Base was also very different.
Just what they saw outside the Military Base wall had already exceeded their imagination. They couldn't imagine that in this apocalypse, besides some Military Bases, where else could be built so securely.
"Everyone wait here for a moment; we'll go in shortly," Li Yu said, getting out of the car and addressing the people behind him.
Excluding Captain Lü, a total of fourteen people entered this time. Originally there were two more, but they died at the hands of the He Park group.
Among the fourteen people, four were women, including two children, one team member's wife, and one female team member.
The others included two family members of team members.
Previously, there were 8 male team members, plus Captain Lü, making a total of less than 10 people.
Next to Yu Tong sat a woman, who was the only female team member among Captain Lü's group.
Throughout the journey, although they hadn't spoken, Yu Tong felt a sense of compatible aura with this woman.
And this female team member had the same feeling towards Yu Tong. Although she hadn't seen Yu Tong take action just now, she felt from her aura that she was not a simple person.
"You're in, you're in, you can rest assured now," Yu Tong said first, speaking to the female team member next to her.
"Mm," the female team member nodded, a slight smile curving her lips in a gesture of goodwill.
Yu Tong also smiled and said, "My name is Du Yu Tong, you can just call me Yu Tong."
The female team member also smiled and said, "My name is Shang Xue'er, you can just call me Xue'er."
"Okay, Xue'er."
Li Yu had not directly stated that he would accept Captain Lü and his people. Although his current actions pretty much indicated everything, within the Military Base, Li Yu's decision was the final one.
Until Li Yu directly clarified it, no one else would explicitly state everything.
However, everyone actually knew in their hearts that allowing them to enter, and allowing them to enter so openly, meant that Li Yu had already accepted them.
Generally, there were only two types of people who entered the Military Base: one type was those about to be killed, and the other type was those about to become his own people.
Everyone stayed in the Weng City for about ten minutes, then walked into the Military Base.
The vehicles without cargo were parked there. Two of the cars still had some luggage belonging to Captain Lü and the others, so they were driven inside together.
Among the items carried were the corn and sweet potatoes that had just been given to Captain Lü and his team today.
Lao Xie looked at these few bags with a complicated expression, his heart filled with emotion.
