Besides Ju Tianrui, we definitely need to bring so others along.
Who would be suitable to take with us?
By default, Li Yu would naturally choose Dapao and his group, as they have been with him the longest, with undeniable loyalty.
But wanting sothing different, Li Yu thought of Luo, Old Qin, and others, but quickly dismissed this idea.
Old Qin and the others are currently helping build the greenhouse frawork, and they can’t stop now.
It seems more appropriate to bring Li Gang, Dapao, and Old Lv.
With Third Uncle overseeing the base, everything will be foolproof.
Having figured it all out, Li Yu sped up eating, finishing his al in just a few bites.
.....
Early the next morning, Li Yu rose early.
After exercising at six o’clock for half an hour, he finished.
He then woke Li Tie and asked him to inform Dapao and the others to co for a eting at the wall monitoring room.
Then he had breakfast and headed to the wall monitoring room.
Upon arriving, he used the walkie-talkie to notify Ju Tianrui to join the eting.
Coincidentally, Ju Tianrui and the others were busy hunting zombies in the previous days, so they hadn’t done any tasks far from the base.
Therefore, Ju Tianrui and his group were still in the houses over by the country road.
Ju Tianrui ca over with Dong Tai and Xiao Jun, and after being inspected by Uncle and the others at the gate, they went up to the wall monitoring room.
At that ti, Dapao and Yang Tianlong were in the monitoring room, bleary-eyed and yawning, seemingly called over just after waking up.
"Didn’t keep you waiting too long, right?" Ju Tianrui asked sowhat embarrassedly, as he was still asleep when Li Yu contacted him via walkie-talkie.
From getting up to arriving at the wall monitoring room, it only took six minutes.
Li Yu shook his head and said to Ju Tianrui, "No, you got here pretty fast. They just arrived as well."
"I’m eting you for a task I need to discuss. You’ve all t Zhu Xiao, the extra staff at our base."
Old Lv nodded and said, "I know him, the human butcher, a pretty sturdy guy."
Li Yu continued, "Yes, that’s him. Right now, we’re building a greenhouse at the base, but we’re short of sunshine panels, as you all know.
We’ve visited several local factories for related materials, but most are severely damaged and unusable. There is a relevant industrial park in the neighboring city, Shishi.
I was planning to go and look for it, but as soon as Zhu Xiao’s team received the mission to search for sunshine panels, they headed there.
On the way, they encountered a gang of bandits, leading to a fierce conflict. Zhu Xiao got slashed, and two others died. I plan to wipe out these bandits.
Do you want to join us?"
This was said in an inquiring tone, mainly directed at Ju Tianrui and his team.
If it were Dapao they were addressing, it wouldn’t be in a questioning tone at all.
Instead, it would be, "Let’s go, it’s ti to cut them down."
Dapao, Li Gang, and their group wouldn’t ask who to cut or how.
They would say, "Okay, when do we depart?"
...
As expected.
Dapao indeed reacted just as Li Yu had predicted.
"What’s there to be willing or unwilling about? When do we start? Is it today? I’ll prepare the mortar right away." Since using the mortar last ti, he has grown increasingly fond of such heavy weaponry.
There’s no other reason, he simply enjoys the feeling.
Li Tie and Li Gang both nodded.
Yang Tianlong also said, "Daring to rob our people, we must trouble them in return. Xiao Yu, just tell us when to go."
Old Lv also nodded slightly and said, "Director Li, of course, we’re willing. But how’s Zhu Xiao doing now? If he’s up for it, it’d be better if he accompanies us to lead the way for revenge."
Li Yu heard their willingness and then stared intently at Ju Tianrui.
Ju Tianrui exchanged glances with Xiao Jun and, without any hesitation, said, "Sure, we can leave anyti."
Ju Tianrui is very different from before, starting from when he left Juzi Island and saw the attitude of refugees toward them.
Later, during the natural disaster and in the Second Outer City, there were a few extra staff mbers living safely in the Outer City, yet inciting trouble, until they were killed by Li Yu. Because of this incident, Ju Tianrui gained a deeper understanding of human nature and increasingly agreed with Li Yu’s ways.
Seeing the completely different atmosphere at Big Camphor Tree Base compared to Juzi Island, caused a significant shift in his perspective.
If you were to summarize Li Yu and Big Camphor Tree Base’s style in a sentence, it would be:
Soft inside, hard outside.
This aligns perfectly with Ju Tianrui’s disposition.
Li Yu, hearing Ju Tianrui’s imdiate response, smiled in satisfaction.
Then he addressed Old Lv’s comnt, saying, "Zhu Xiao, last night I had him stay temporarily in the First Outer City. His physique is great, and after dealing with his wounds, he’s now full of energy. He was eager to join us for revenge."
Old Lv nodded upon hearing this.
Seeing none of them had any objections, Li Yu took out the walkie-talkie and spoke to He Chao in the First Outer City, "Old He, bring Zhu Xiao from the Outer City to the monitoring room."
"Okay, Director Li." Just a few seconds passed before He Chao responded.
Five minutes later.
He Chao was followed by a towering man over two ters tall.
A formidable appearance and robust muscles that stood out even in thick clothing.
His face showed no trace of being slashed, just a sowhat sullen look.
The two brothers who followed him had been through life and death together with him.
Now just like that, they were dead, leaving him with a frustrated breath.
If it hadn’t been for other teammates holding him back, he would’ve insisted on fighting those people to the end.
At that ti, after all, they had the numbers, otherwise...
Sigh....
Thinking about this, Zhu Xiao felt a blockage in his chest.
