During this ti, these construction workers and Li Yu along with others have been eating and drinking together.
Like the communal pot als of the past, sharing food and drink.
Moreover, since these construction workers were initially rescued by Li Yu and his group, not only that, they also helped them find their families later.
And then they united together to successfully build Weng City, defended against the zombies, and went out together to kill people!
In other words, they had been through quite a lot together during this ti, and Li Yu had been continuously observing these people, and after this period of evaluation, at least up to now, Li Yu felt that they were quite honest and reliable.
And the latest incident where they killed Big Gold Teeth and others, also made them deeply understand Li Yu's ruthlessness, willingly being led by him.
Now, they had really integrated into the group.
....
The dinner that day was good.
Pork and cabbage stew with vermicelli, fried cabbage, iced spicy sour radish, and spicy dried fish.
Three buckets of rice.
Everyone was rather happy seeing today's als, especially the construction workers. Before the apocalypse, they never ate this well. After the apocalypse started, following Li Yu and his group, they were living like gods, although they had to go out each ti to help transport stuff, chop zombies, and... kill people.
And these als were all thanks to Li Yu's earlier preparations, hoarding various resources, and breeding nurous animals and plants in the base: chickens, ducks, fish, geese, shrimp, pigs, cattle, sheep...
Peach trees, pear trees, orange trees, apricot trees, apple trees, waterlon, sugarcane, starfruit, grapes, plum trees, mango trees...
Thinking about the few dozen tons of salt still in the warehouse, Li Yu felt a bit reassured.
Holding his bowl of rice, he walked outside and saw a field of water paddies in front of him.
It's March already...
The apocalypse had already burst forth nearly 5 months ago...
It's ti to plant early rice, now that the number of people at the base is increasing. Although there are still a lot of rice grains stored in the warehouse, these 4 acres were initially calculated based on the standards of 50~60 people.
Looking at the current situation, it might not be enough. Looking at the field in front of him, this small plain may only have 15 acres, but there are a hundred acres on two mountains.
Terraced fields!
Having decided, he then found Grandpa and discussed with him about marking out three acres in the mountain forest to make terraced fields.
Cultivating terraced fields is a big project.
Grandpa thought it was feasible, and then discussed the matter with everyone, and everyone followed the arrangent.
The internal cultivation matter was handed over to Grandpa and Grandpa to handle. The number of people in the base was increasing, and the available workforce was abundant.
The manpower was sufficient for this task.
After discussing this matter, Li Yu noticed Zhao Dapao by his side, who seed to be lost in thought, staring blankly out the window.
Li Yu sighed silently in his heart and went over to pat his shoulder.
Then he discussed another matter with everyone, about going into the city.
Li Yu's father and others were a bit worried about them, but recently, Zhao Dapao had been following Li Yu out, solving many problems. While at the base, whenever there were any issues, he would actively help,
indeed, he had integrated into this big family, and everyone treated him like family.
Therefore, with Li Yu's insistence, Yang Tianlong, Li Tie, and Li Gang, as his comrades in arms, also expressed their willingness to go together.
Zhao Dapao was very touched when he saw that everyone was not opposed to Li Yu's decision to go to the city.
Li Yu then discussed the upcoming arrangents with Second Uncle and others, and started planning the trip to the city with Zhao Dapao, Yang Tianlong and others.
At that mont, he suddenly rembered the two people who were detained in the small house when they returned.
It seed that they hadn't eaten yet...
But, it's not important.
Li Yu looked at the empty pots and bowls on the table, no food left, and thought about it, still taking two pieces of bread brought back from today's grocery store.
Then he took two cups of water, and together with Yang Tianlong and Zhao Dapao, walked over.
Outside the house was Third Uncle, who was also on this side during dinner.
He fully demonstrated the discipline of an old soldier, exceptionally strict.
Li Yu said, "Third Uncle, I have so questions to ask them. You go finish your al first."
Third Uncle nodded.
Li Yu opened the iron gate, went in, and saw two people collapsed on the ground, tied around a column with a rope.
He walked up, untied the rope, then removed the black cloth from both people's heads, and finally cut open the clear tape on their mouths.
Inhale....
Exhale....
The two n on the ground took a deep breath in and then deeply exhaled.
It seed like they were almost suffocated just now.
But it wasn't likely, as the black cloth still had gaps, and although their mouths were sealed, they could still breathe through their noses.
Li Yu handed over so bread to the two n and placed two cups of water.
The composed man and the young man had been hungry for a while, and Third Uncle was just eating outside; the delicious aroma had constantly wafted into their noses, overwhelmingly enticing.
Spicy dried fish, pork with cabbage and vermicelli stew.
Just when Li Yu and others opened the door earlier, the aroma beca even more intense into the room.
At this mont, when the two n saw the bread in front of them, they exchanged glances but dared not say anything and instead began to devour the food ravenously.
Watching the two n eat, Li Yu did not urge them.
He quietly waited for the two n to finish eating.
In less than two minutes, the bread was gone. Then they chugged down the water.
Finally, both n sighed deeply.
After seeing them finish, Li Yu started to inquire.
"Do you have guards each ti you return?" Li Yu asked.
The composed man replied upon hearing the question, "Yes, but only two at the entrance."
"Do they have guns?"
"No, I've only seen guns in the hands of Boss Zhang at the headquarters."
Hearing this, Li Yu's expression slightly narrowed as he said, "Is there a check each ti you enter?"
"No, the managent there is quite chaotic. It was more orderly when Officer Ma was around, but now it's a ss."
"Why are you telling this?"
The composed man lifted his head, looked straight into Li Yu's eyes, and said, "I've wanted to escape for a long ti, but my family is in their hands, and I can't run. I want to use your power to kill them so I can have a chance to save my family."
Li Yu looked into the eyes of this man, seeing no evasion, sowhat surprised. It seed like he was telling the truth.
This man was also earnest, straightforward in his words.
Li Yu liked sensible people like this one; if it was all beating around the bush, he definitely wouldn't believe their words.
Although not entirely convinced yet, at least this composed man seed sincere.
So, he said, "When the ti cos, you lead us there, and open the door. Understand?"
The composed man replied, "When do you plan to do it? Our headquarters isn't giving us much ti. If we don't return for a few days, they will definitely realize sothing is wrong."
Li Yu looked at Zhao Dapao beside him and said, "Very soon!"
He then stopped talking, tied the n's limbs again, and sealed their mouths with tape, but just when he was about to do it.
The young man nearby said, "Brother, can you not seal the mouth? I can hardly breathe. Plus, with another layer of black cloth, it's too stifling."
Li Yu nodded, poked a few holes in the tape for them to breathe, sealed their mouths again, and then........covered them with black cloth again.
