"The key is, he’s too self-disciplined, exercising every day. This truly commands respect."
Deng Ben listened, staring in the direction Li Yu left, his eyes showing the sa admiration as Lao Xie.
It’s not scary to have soone stronger than you; what’s scary is soone stronger, yet more disciplined and diligent.
This can give people a sense of despair.
This is also the charm of Li Yu’s personality.
He’s tough on others, but even tougher on himself.
"By the way, Deng Ben, don’t call Captain Xie anymore. We’re not in Jiefang City, and I’m not a vice-captain anymore," Lao Xie reminded him.
Deng Ben nodded and said, "Then I’ll call you Brother Xie."
Lao Xie grinned and said, "Just call Lao Xie like everyone else. No need for formalities. Alright, I won’t chat with you anymore. I have to go to the wall for my shift soon, better wash up, we’ll talk later."
Deng Ben knew the priorities, so he nodded and said, "Alright, go ahead, we’ll talk later."
Lao Xie returned to his room, and Deng Ben, seeing the sun rise, took his daughter into the room.
....
After his workout, Li Yu saw Yutong still asleep in bed.
He pulled the fallen blanket back over Yutong.
Glancing at the ti, 6:35.
Then he headed to the bathroom for a quick shower.
Returning to the room, he dressed up in clothes, protective gear, bullet-proof vest.
Magazines, dagger, handgun, assault rifle, hand grenades.
Finally, picking up the helt, he glanced at the still sleeping Yutong, reluctant to disturb her, so he quietly pushed the door open and went out.
Just as he stepped out, he saw Li Tie, Li Gang, and Third Uncle coming out from another villa.
Everyone walked together to the dining hall to start breakfast.
Gradually, in the dining hall, Dapao, Yang Tianlong, Wang Cheng, and others all arrived.
According to the plan Li Yu had originally devised, Uncle and Second Uncle, Li Haoran, Li Haoxian, Ding Jiu, Lai Dongsheng, and Old Lv among them would stay in the base to protect its safety.
He Chao and his team resud their guard in Xin City, including deploying people to the post in the County.
He Bing and others studied the progress of the Zombie Generator.
This ti for those going out, in the Inner City, apart from Li Yu and his team, there were also Lao Luo and Old Qin from the Outer City.
In total, the people going out from both the Inner and Outer City exceeded 40 people.
Including Xiao Jun, Ju Tianrui and others, there were over a hundred people.
A hundred people, one armored vehicle, three RVs, five large trucks.
Twenty-five new energy vehicles.
To ensure the extended range of the new energy vehicles, they specifically prepared two large trucks to carry the vehicle batteries for replacent on demand.
......
When Li Yu arrived at the Outer City’s wall, he happened to see Ju Tianrui and his crew walking over from outside the wall.
They lined up in formation, walking straight to the exterior of Weng City.
Li Yu had Lao Xie open the door.
After they ca in, Li Yu saw Lao Luo and Old Qin were also ready.
Last night, Li Tie had already distributed the mortars into several vehicles.
And the rapid-fire cannon equipped on the armored vehicle was all put inside.
Ju Tianrui and his crew were a bit surprised seeing the long barrel on the armored vehicle.
Xiao Jun couldn’t help but ask Li Yu, "Is there a need to use all of this? Could this be overkill?"
Li Yu shook his head and said, "No, didn’t you say Juzi Island is a river island? If it’s unsuitable for a close-range assault, just bombard it from afar with artillery."
Looking at the nearby Dapao, Li Yu smiled and said, "Not using you to bombard, but using this cannon!"
"Brother Yu, I know, no need to explain," Dapao replied helplessly to Li Yu.
Lao Luo got on the armored vehicle, followed by Lao Zhou and the others.
Ju Tianrui approached Li Yu and said, "Director Li, yesterday you told to walk over here without a car. How are we getting there?"
Li Yu pointed to a row of new energy vehicles on a flat ground in the First outer city, "Drive those, they’re quiet and have a decent range. Take them."
Seeing these new energy vehicles, Ju Tianrui’s eyes lit up, realizing it’s a good idea.
In this world where gasoline and diesel are hard to find due to the Doomsday, which has been ongoing for almost two years.
These new energy vehicles make for good transportation.
So, he turned to his group and said, "Brothers, get in the cars."
Li Yu watched as Ju Tianrui and their group got in the cars, his thoughts unknown.
He hadn’t restocked Ju Tianrui’s bullets.
But he asked Ju Tianrui how many bullets they had left.
Not many remaining.
Actually, before, when Xiao Jun and He Chao went to the steel mill, Li Yu had given them so bullets.
Later, Xiao Jun also reported to Li Yu about the bullet consumption situation.
A few were left, which Li Yu did not take back.
This ti going out, Xiao Jun naturally would distribute the bullets to others, not needing Li Yu to give them more.
When Ju Tianrui and his crew entered the Outer City, they handed over their firearms.
And Xiao Jun had completed many tasks before.
Even in this situation, Li Yu remained very cautious.
Ju Tianrui’s people, plus Xiao Jun’s, amounted to quite a large group, over dozens of people.
One couldn’t help but be cautious.
Therefore, Li Yu intentionally controlled their combat effectiveness.
What can be done if bullets are not enough?
Li Yu wanted their bullets to be insufficient.
This ti, it’s not about a close-range attrition battle, but long-range artillery fire, and then close-range follow-ups.
Everyone got in the vehicles.
Li Yu sat in the Unimog RV.
This vehicle had been extensively modified again by He Bing, with its surface reinforced with 7cm steel plates, matching the protection of an armored vehicle.
"Let’s go!" Li Yu took the radio and spoke to everyone.
The gates opened, and the convoy rolled out.
Heading towards the highway, grandly moving under the morning sun.
