The journey ho.
In the dawn, the convoy slowly erged from the mountain forest.
They siphoned off the fuel from Gan Hu and his n’s vehicles and took it away, along with twenty cars that were in relatively good condition.
On the bus, two hospital beds held Xiao Cui and Kuizi.
The bullet in Xiao Cui’s calf had been removed by Liu Pengfei, and after treatnt, the wound was in good condition.
But as for Kuizi, all eight of his fingers, except for the two thumbs, had their front third severed and were too late to be reattached.
They could only stop the bleeding, prevent infection, and administered so dication.
With a part of his fingers lost, even after recovery, life would not be as convenient as before.
But at least he could still live normally and do things, although holding objects would no longer be as easy as before.
For Kuizi, he was content, having narrowly escaped with his life was worth it.
The vehicles quickly reached Gan City.
Then, after driving for about ten minutes, they arrived at the station where Deng Ben was based.
Under the tallest building nearby, Deng Ben and his companions had already been waiting for so ti.
Li Yu asked soone to stop the car, opened the door, and chatted with Deng Ben for a few monts before leaving the place.
During this ti, Bai Wenyang’s group also stayed here. Initially, they wanted to join Li Yu and others to kill the enemy and save Kuizi and Xiao Cui.
However, considering that they were not skilled in firearms and couldn’t help much, they were asked not to go with them.
Unexpectedly, they stayed there waiting for their return.
Bai Wenyang and his team got on the bus. Upon seeing Kuizi and Xiao Cui still alive albeit injured, they were emotional.
He felt sowhat guilty, but he knew that even if he returned in that situation, it would be aningless.
Kuizi and Xiao Cui, on the other hand, comforted Bai Wenyang, telling him not to think too much about it.
.......
After bidding farewell to Deng Ben, the vehicle did not stop along the way, heading straight to Big Camphor Tree Base.
The group had stayed up all night, physically and ntally exhausted, longing to return to Big Camphor Tree Base to have a good sleep.
As Qingming Festival approaches, the weather beca increasingly sultry and damp.
Fortunately, it didn’t rain the previous night, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy for them.
Li Yu had thought about solving the enemies in Gan City and retreating to Big Camphor Tree Base overnight.
But during the dayti, it took them two to three hours, let alone at night.
Plus, with zombies moving at night, if they were surrounded while on the road, the cars in front might be fine, but those at the back, like the ones driven by Ju Tianrui, were electric and poorly protected, easily stopped by zombies.
Li Yu did not want to be blocked by zombies on the road at midnight; the risk was too high.
After dealing with the enemies, Li Yu was in quite a good mood.
Driving with the windows down, feeling the wind, it was quite a pleasant journey.
......
At Big Camphor Tree Base.
Since Li Yu inford Second Uncle and others about the resolution of the Western Alliance’s intrusion, the alert level was lowered a notch early in the morning.
The nurous extra and cooperative staff hiding in the first outer city were allowed to return and continue building the third outer city.
The Western Alliance incident had delayed the construction progress of the base.
Even the steel remaining in Guang City hadn’t been transported in ti.
The construction of the third outer city was also paused for a day.
This morning, the work resud.
By now, 90% of the third outer city’s groundwork is complete, expected to be fully finished in three to four days.
This progress is pretty fast.
The patrol teams originally stationed around Big Camphor Tree Base also resud the transportation of construction materials.
.......
At ten in the morning.
Li Yu and the others arrived at Big Camphor Tree Base.
Entering Weng City, Second Uncle and Uncle ca down to greet them.
Li Yu briefly recounted the past events to the two, then asked Uncle to gather people to collect the firearms and seized weapons.
Seeing Liu Pengfei and others carry down Kuizi and Xiao Cui, after so thought, he walked over.
Earlier today, Li Yu also talked to both of them and understood what they went through yesterday in detail.
No matter what, these two made a significant contribution.
At least they didn’t reveal any information about Big Camphor Tree Base to the enemy.
For this alone, they deserved a reward from Li Yu.
Furthermore, they were cooperative personnel.
A good reward would serve as an exemplary role among the other cooperative personnel.
This would surely enhance the recognition and loyalty of many cooperative and extra staff towards Big Camphor Tree Base.
Li Yu walked up to the two and said to Kuizi and Xiao Cui, "You are injured now, for the ti being, stay in the base to heal. You did very well this ti. Given your contribution, I offer you two choices.
The first option is that you two can directly join the outer city of Big Camphor Tree Base. The second option is that all mbers of your group can be listed as extra staff, and you two will receive double the food rations each month."
Hearing this, the two were torn.
Frankly, when they saw Group Leader Bai Wenyang leave, they felt sowhat upset.
But they also understood that even if the leader stayed, it would be the sa outco for everyone.
Moreover, after seeing a haggard Bai Wenyang at Deng Ben’s, they realized sothing.
