Certainly, we can’t have so many luxuries.
After Xiao Han finished eating, Old Luo went up to Xiao Han with a hint of mystery.
"Uncle Luo, are you looking for for sothing?" Xiao Han asked with a puzzled face.
Old Luo looked around and spoke only after confirming that nobody was around: "Xiao Han, I’ve talked it over with Old Yi and Old Bi. The three of us are all your uncles, we’ve watched you grow up, and from now on we will all follow your unified command.
It’s just that there’s the issue of so of the grains at the Big Camphor Tree Base that I haven’t told them about yet. Also, I want to ask what your thoughts are about our future plans?"
Xiao Han felt sowhat bewildered; she had never thought about leading others to survive. It had always been others leading her.
Hearing this question, Xiao Han imdiately thought of the forr Bai Jie, the forr Li Yu—what would they do?
After thinking for a while, she suddenly realized, why think on her own when she could just join them?
Xiao Han had stayed at the base for a period of ti. No, it wasn’t just for a period of ti; it had been several months.
She had so understanding of the Big Camphor Tree Base, not to ntion when she joined, she had nothing and she was still able to join.
Moreover, after joining, her life was quite good.
Additionally, the strength of the base was very formidable.
Thinking to herself, Xiao Han thought that with a "bad guy" like Li Yu, as long as she followed him, she probably wouldn’t suffer any losses.
She also knew about so of the reforms that happened later at the Big Camphor Tree Base and felt that they were reasonable. There’s no such thing as a free lunch; one has to work to earn.
Xiao Han’s expression flickered for a mont, and then she said to Old Luo: "Uncle Luo, what’s your opinion?"
Old Luo checked again to make sure no one was behind him before he said, "Old Ye has passed away, Fang Tong and Xie Weishan, they also seem to have disappeared. It’ll definitely be difficult to retrieve the grains.
We still have enough food to last a while, but look around at the survivors. Old Ye was kind and principled, and he distributed grains to them. But you’ve also seen that these people don’t appreciate it and just run away with the food.
Even before, when we faced the Zombie Tide, they fled into the base and not only didn’t they help, they caused trouble.
After they’ve eaten their food, they will surely co to us, and if they want us to give them food, do we give it or not? If they try to rob us, do we kill them or not?
These people will eventually drag us down to death.
Population can be a help or a burden at tis, and given our current situation, we can’t afford this burden.
Moreover, our place, although it’s in the suburbs, is still too close to Yangcheng. When the Zombie Tide breaks out, the pressure is too great.
We must move!?"
Hearing Captain Luo say they needed to move, Xiao Han was slightly stirred and after thinking for a mont said: "Move to where?"
Captain Luo looked at Xiao Han with a aningful gaze, paused for a bit, and finally said: "Let’s head to the Big Camphor Tree Base."
Hearing Captain Luo say this, Xiao Han felt a surge of excitent in her heart—she hadn’t expected that Captain Luo’s thoughts would coincide with her own.
The Big Camphor Tree Base, she too had thought about it for a long ti, about how to better survive in this apocalypse. Eventually, she realized that the current ways of the Big Camphor Tree Base are the most correct.
Suppressing the excitent in her heart, Xiao Han said with an expressionless face: "Why go there? Although the Big Camphor Tree Base has approached us for cooperation, in this apocalyptic world, human hearts are unfathomable. What if we go there and they have malicious intentions?"
Although Xiao Han said this, her words had many loopholes, she obviously didn’t think so, but needed others to bring it up.
As expected, Captain Luo said: "If they really wanted to plot anything, they could have just killed us all at the very beginning, and then all the grains would belong to them, and they wouldn’t have to share with us.
Besides, harboring ulterior motives, in this apocalypse, the most important thing is food, and a safe shelter. Do we have anything they covet?
Xiao Han, you’ve stayed at the Big Camphor Tree Base, you should have a deeper understanding of this place than I do. Are you suggesting there’s a problem?"
Listening to Old Luo’s words, which were similar to what she thought, Xiao Han heard Captain Luo now take a more proactive stance, actively asking her opinion about the Big Camphor Tree Base.
Xiao Han shook her head and said with reminiscence: "No problems found. Although sotis, I have seen Li Yu indeed commit so killings, so cruelty, but when he is inside the base, especially toward his own people in the base, he is very good.
Even though they may not have a grand spirit of universality and tend to keep a low profile most of the ti, this characteristic seems to be an advantage in this apocalyptic world.
..."
Old Luo listened and kept nodding, indeed, he also had several encounters with Li Yu and it was consistent with what Xiao Han said.
The decisive actions of Li Yu in the ti of Luo Tianyan left a deep impression on him.
After Xiao Han finished speaking, Old Luo asked again: "We have all been to the Big Zhang Base, Xiao Liu and i Xiao Ding also went, it’s just that Old Bi and Old Yi haven’t gone. With this in mind, we need to think of a way to convince them."
Xiao Han said: "There’s no need to convince them; they will go together."
"Why?" Old Luo looked at Xiao Han, sowhat surprised.
"Do we have a better place to go? When we run out of food, what will we eat?" Xiao Han countered.
Thinking about it, indeed there was no better place to go.
So, I discussed with Xiao Shi in detail about so specific matters regarding the evacuation.
....
Far in the north, hundreds of kiloters away at the Big Camphor Tree Base, at this mont in Mountain Pond.
Boating and fishing.
A gentle breeze blowing, willow catkins filling the sky.
Li Yu sneezed on the boat.
Achoo~
"Who’s talking bad about behind my back again," said Li Yu.
Li Yuan said with a smile, "Big brother, you must have done sothing naughty again to be on soone’s mind."
"Cheeky girl," Li Yu retorted with a laugh.
The boat was small, with a table set in the center and six or seven people sitting on both sides.
Yutong, Li Yuan, Li Haoxian, the optimistic Xiao Han, Lai Xiyue, Yang Xiaozhu, and Li Yu.
On the table, there was rice wine and so sunflower seeds and boiled peanuts.
Besides the rice wine, the other two items were not rare. Many areas in the base had been reclaid for crop cultivation, and often along the roadsides, plants with practical uses were grown.
For example, along the banks of the rivers, soybeans and peanuts were planted—these high-protein crops.
"A pair of kings."
"A pair of twos. Hahaha, you’re done!"
"The joker! The bomb!"
"Hahaha."
Li Yu and Li Yuan were playing landlord. Li Yuan was happy because she got a pair of twos, never expecting Li Yu’s joker bomb to blow her mind.
"You lost; no welching," Li Yu said with a chuckle.
Li Yuan made a sour face and, according to the punishnt agreed upon by everyone, she had to do her part.
Li Yu drank a cup of rice wine, said, "Haoxian, take over for ," and then stepped out of the cabin.
Boating on the lake with willow catkins fluttering along the shore.
A fishing rod dangled on the lake, connecting to the water’s surface.
Two green mountains reflected in the lake showed the image of four mountains.
The blue sky and white clouds, the chirping of birds, the fragrance of flowers wafting through the air.
Li Yu took a deep breath, contemplating the peacefulness of the tis.
This kind of apocalypse was what one could call an apocalypse.
Others suffer, I enjoy; others freeze, I stay warm.
Others starve, I pick and choose; others are in danger, I’m safe.
This is what they call an apocalypse, really.
If one just struggled to live on miserably, what would be the difference from being dead?
As long as one can ensure enough safety, as long as we are stable and strong, what’s wrong with living a better life?
Whenever there’s rampant killing outside, what I think about is being able to relax after returning to the base.
Li Yu looked distantly at the surrounding wall, his eyes narrowing slightly.
The larger the team, the more people there are, the more difficult managent becos.
In this apocalypse, human nature is the least reliable, but interests are believable.
The power of the gun, is always trustworthy.
....
Dozens of kiloters away from the Big Camphor Tree Base.
Third Uncle and the fully ard group, carrying light machine guns, set off toward the Northern Prison with an imposing aura.
