Two days later, Captain Tao and his group finally arrived at Xin City.
He Chao was somewhat happy today because he found what Li Yu and his group needed in a certain place, and this item could replace quite a lot of food.
Just as he was about to drive away, a convoy suddenly appeared in front.
He had never seen the people in this convoy before.
He had been collecting information in Xin City these days and had a general understanding of many of the survivors.
But he had never seen this group of people before.
He didn't want to cause trouble, so he voluntarily moved aside to let the vehicles in front pass.
However, Captain Tao and his group stopped directly in the middle of the road.
Bang!
Captain Tao got out of the car, followed by four or five people, all holding weapons.
Seeing this, He Chao quickly signaled his brothers to pick up their weapons; he didn't want to cause trouble, but having survived until now, he wasn't afraid of it either.
Captain Tao walked along, smiling broadly as he loudly said, "Friend, do you know how to get to Tianhua Town?"
He Chao heard this and knew that Da Zhangshu Base was in Tianhua Town, but these people clearly looked like strangers, so why would they suddenly ask about Tianhua Town?
The only people who knew that Li Yu's base was in Tianhua Town were those who came from Liberation City, but there weren't many of them.
Moreover, if they were from Liberation City, he basically knew all of them.
He Chao asked cautiously, "I do, where are you headed?"
Captain Tao smiled and said, "We heard that there's a place in Tianhua Town where we can exchange for food. So we also want to exchange for some food."
He Chao looked at their vehicles, somewhat suspicious. This news was known by very few people, and the exchange of goods had only just begun these past few days.
With suspicion in his heart, he outwardly smiled and said, "That's right, but have you brought enough things to exchange?"
Captain Tao said with a grin, "We've already prepared them. Are you also going to Tianhua Town? Can you take us with you?"
He Chao initially wanted to refuse, but then suddenly thought that if he didn't tell them now, what if these people found other people from Liberation City, they would tell them anyway.
Not knowing their purpose, it would be better to directly take them to Mr. Li's side.
Let Mr. Li's side know what's going on in advance.
And with just these people, he felt that this group definitely couldn't cause any impact on Da Zhangshu Base.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, it just so happens that we're also going today. You can follow behind."
Captain Tao was delighted to hear this and said, "Thank you so much, thank you, friend."
He Chao waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.
Captain Tao and his group got into their vehicles and followed He Chao and his group's vehicles.
They sped along the road.
In less than an hour, they arrived outside Da Zhangshu Base.
Captain Tao and his group were in the woods, not yet having entered, standing by and waiting.
He Chao turned around and said, "That's it up ahead. We'll go in first."
Captain Tao smiled and said, "Okay, you go ahead. We'll go in after you."
Captain Tao and his group stood outside, looking at the tall wall, their eyes filled with shock.
After watching He Chao and his group enter, Captain Tao got into the car and kicked a bound person.
If He Chao were here, he would definitely recognize that this person was another individual who had come from Liberation City.
Coincidentally, after Captain Tao and his group arrived in Xin City, the first person they encountered was this individual.
Then, under their interrogation, they extracted some information about Da Zhangshu Base.
However, this bound person was not a good person either; he concealed the strength of Da Zhangshu Base. He knew that this group meant no good to Li Yu and his group, so he let them go and try their luck, letting them suffer some losses.
"Tell me, is this the place?" Captain Tao lifted the person, pointing to the wall in the distance.
"Wuwuwu."
Seeing this, Captain Tao untied the cloth binding his mouth.
"Hoo, it's here. No, no, no, I just got untied, why are you tying me up again?"
After Captain Tao heard the answer he wanted, he tied the person up again.
Hua Chuanxiong looked at the base and said, "Should we go in?"
Captain Tao thought for a moment, his eyes flickering. It was now largely confirmed that this place indeed had a lot of grain, but the strength of this place was still unclear.
"Go in."
Inside Da Zhangshu Base.
He Chao was still bringing some people over to exchange for supplies.
However, as soon as he entered, He Chao insisted on seeing Li Yu.
He was very anxious.
The second uncle, who was in charge of managing this, had a headache.
Later, He Chao simply said, "There's a group of people outside, strangers I've never seen, who have been inquiring about your information.
I don't know where they found out that you can exchange for supplies, but these people are definitely not the original people from Liberation City.
They're still outside now, and they might come over to exchange for supplies with you later."
Upon hearing this, the second uncle frowned slightly and quickly used the walkie-talkie to call Li Yu.
After explaining the situation to Li Yu, Li Yu immediately took it seriously and quickly asked He Chao about the situation of these people outside.
Currently, only a few familiar people from Liberation City, whom Lao Lü and his group all knew, were exchanging supplies, and only these few people knew about it.
How could these strangers possibly know!
For people like He Chao who wanted to exchange for supplies, the fewer people who knew, the better, because there was a monthly limit on the amount of grain Li Yu and his group exchanged.
The more people who knew, wouldn't that mean they might potentially get less grain?
This concerned their vital interests: food! The interest of survival.
No one was willing to share their interests with others.
Li Yu went up to the wall, looking behind the woods.
He vaguely saw some figures.
He came down from the wall and thought for a moment.
Strangers, inquiring about information, and even daring to come directly to the base.
All these factors made Li Yu feel a sense of crisis.
For Li Yu, he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one person who harbored ill intentions towards them.
So he said to He Chao, "You did very well. You're sure all of them are here, right?"
He Chao nodded and said, "When I saw them, they were just these people. I don't know about others."
Li Yu nodded and said, "Good."
Then he turned to Li Yuan and said, "Give them an extra 10 catties of rice."
Seeing the joyful He Chao, Li Yu said,
"You are very good. I hope that if you see any strangers outside or encounter any situation, you will tell me at any time. I will not treat you unfairly."
He Chao nodded heavily and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li."
Li Yu left and then found Third Uncle, telling Third Uncle, Da Pao, Song Min, Li Tie, Li Gang, Li Haoran, Li Haoxian, Optimistic Xiao Han, Song Qi, and others to go out through the back door and surround them in the woods.
Although they said they wanted to come in, what if not everyone came in, and those behind wanted to run away?
He then gave He Chao a few more instructions, telling He Chao to go out and let those people in.
Li Yu wanted to see if they dared to come in.
If they didn't come in, he was prepared to go out and find them.
