Chapter 1006: Even if you reach for the stars in vain, your hands will not be full of mud.

Oil City.

In the interrogation room.

Da Pao, Xiao Jun and others gathered here, listening to Liu Weimeng's talk about the situation of the Northern Federation.

There was a lot in it that the kid had already told them.

While Liu Weimeng was telling the story, Dapao and the others would ask some questions from time to time, but Brother Meng would tell the truth as he just said.

Li Tie stared at Liu Weimeng and asked:

"So, the reason why you know about Oil City and Da Zhangshu Base is because some people escaped from our side and told you?"

Liu Wei nodded fiercely and said: "Yes, I also heard what others said. It seems that you are chasing them, and then they fled all the way north."

Li Tie and Cannon looked at each other, and they were now sure that based on the time those people had escaped and their descriptions, they should be the rebels among the new collaborators.

I didn’t expect this group of people to escape so far!

If it is really this group of people, they should have some knowledge about the Da Zhangshu Base.

Ju Tianrui continued to ask:

"Then Sima Xi you just mentioned is the one who sent you here. Does the Governor of the Northern Federation know about this? Or what is his attitude towards your coming?"

Brother Meng thought for a while and said, "I don't know either. Although Governor Yuan Zhi is clearly the leader of the Northern Federation, the Sima family does not listen to him. As far as I know, they still have some frictions secretly. "

Ju Tianrui nodded slightly, and then said, "Okay, continue talking."

"Okay, I just mentioned the specific location of the Northern Federation. It is in Yidu Town in the Northern Province. It is located in front of and behind Fangshan. There is a plain in front of it. They built the wall on the mountain in the back, and then there is a river running through it. .”

Just as he was talking, Li Tie next to him took out his mobile phone and was recording, while Dongtai was sitting on a stool, taking notes with a pen and paper.

"Circle it on the map, and then tell us the defense map." Li Tie took out the map and spread it on the table.

Xiao He and Xiao Wu untied the rope from Liu Weimeng's body and asked him to draw the defense map of the Northern Federation.

As they interrogate, it gets dark outside.

Big camphor tree base.

After Li Yu got the approval from his third uncle, he happened to be in the outer city, so he approached Lao Luo and asked him to register how many people here could fly helicopters.

Excluding Lao Yi who flew to Oil City, Li Tie and Cannon, plus Li Yu himself, his third uncle and four others, there are 8 people here.

In addition, 13 of the team members who originally followed Lao Yi also had extensive helicopter driving experience.

This means that there are twenty-one people in the entire base who can fly the helicopter alone.

This number has exceeded Li Yu's expectations.

And among these people, Uncle San can not only drive helicopters, they can drive other types of aircraft, from airplanes to tanks, armored vehicles, and excavators. They can do it all.

There are enough pilots at the moment, but there just aren't that many helicopters.

"Lin Changsheng, Gu Long. I give you the list of people who can fly helicopters. City Lord, what do you want this list for?" Lao Luo asked.

Li Yu looked at Lao Luo and suddenly thought that if they went to the Zhongshi Triangle Flying Base, if they really found the helicopter, it would most likely be damaged.

After all, it has been so long since the end of the world, and the helicopter has not been maintained and is easily damaged.

The two helicopters they found last time were broken. If the helicopter hadn't brought Lao Luo and the others over to repair the helicopter, they probably wouldn't have been able to do anything.

Although Uncle San and the others know a little bit about everything and can repair helicopters, if a major problem arises, they still rely on professional repairmen like Lao Luo and others.

Thinking of this, Li Yu said to Lao Luo:

"We are going to go out tomorrow. We have found a flight base. There may be helicopters there. We plan to fly over there tomorrow to have a look. Bring all the people under you who can repair helicopters and go there together!"

"Ah? Flight base? We'll fly there tomorrow. Is it so sudden?" Lao Luo was a little confused when he heard the news.

Why did I suddenly get a mission and not hear any news about it?

"Yes, tonight you quickly pack up the tools and equipment for repairing the helicopter, and then gather at No. 1 Urn City at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!" Li Yu said.

The attitude is very firm and does not accept any doubts.

Lao Luo had no choice but to say: "Okay, there are ten repairmen including me who can repair the helicopter. Do you want all of them to go?"

Li Yu calculated it and found that a full helicopter could only hold a maximum of thirty people.

But this is only a one-way trip. If you need to bring fuel and some maintenance equipment for the return journey, then a helicopter can only hold fifteen people.

If some heavy weapons and ammunition are added, even fewer people can be accommodated.

One helicopter is definitely not enough, so two helicopters can only be sent over.

Because I don’t know how many helicopters there are at the flight base, I try to send as many people there as possible.

But it was so difficult to find helicopters several times before, so Li Yu subconsciously thought that it would be good to find three helicopters this time.

So he said: "Let's do this. Tomorrow you bring all the repairmen, and then you find ten people who can fly helicopters to come together."

"Okay." Lao Luo nodded and replied.

Li Yu made some statistics in his mind. Tomorrow, including himself and his third uncle, plus the 20 people from Lao Luo's side, there would be a total of 25 people.

It should be enough. If it doesn't work, let the helicopter fly back to the base.

After discussing the matter, Li Yu left the outer city.

When he just walked into the inner city, he saw Yang Tianlong waiting for someone under the villa.

When Yang Tianlong saw Li Yu, his face lit up and he hurriedly came over: "Xiaoyu, I just heard Haoran say that there may be a mission tomorrow?"

Li Yu hesitated for a moment. Originally, he didn't want to take Yang Tianlong with him, but if he encountered nuclear-radiated zombies there, Yang Tianlong's combat power would be quite helpful.

So he nodded and said: "Yes, I will go to Zhongshi tomorrow. There is a flight base. I plan to go there and try my luck."

Yang Tianlong said: "Take me with you. The heavy rain lasted for so long a while ago, and the solar radiation has been so strong recently, so we have to stay indoors all the time. It's so boring."

Cannon and Tiezi have all gone to Oil City. You have to let me go for this operation. "

Li Yu saw this and said with a smile:

"You and Cannon and the others really just can't sit still. Look at the survivors outside. They wish they could stay in a safe room. If it weren't for the lack of food, they would definitely not go out if they could. Just you guys. , and always thinking about running out."

Yang Tianlong stretched and said: "It's good to stay at the base and rest, but you can't rest all the time. I always feel very boring after resting for a long time. I feel more energetic when I go out to do tasks, and when I come back to rest and sleep, you can't keep loosening up or loosening up." Well."

Seeing that he had said so, Li Yu followed him and said, "We will gather at No. 1 Wengcheng at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Okay!" After Yang Tianlong heard Li Yu's answer, his face immediately filled with a smile.

"Then I'll go get ready first." Yang Tianlong said to Li Yu.

Li Yu nodded and said, "Okay, you go."

Looking at Yang Tianlong's leaving figure, Li Yu smiled and shook his head, thinking to himself: These guys, they really can't stay idle!

Returning to the room, he checked his two pistols and automatic rifle, and then pressed the bullets into the magazine one by one.

Sudden.

There was a knock on the door.

"Brother! Gangzi is looking for you." Li Yuan's voice said.

When Li Yu heard that it was Li Gang who was looking for him, he immediately knew what he was about.

Yang Tianlong must have told Li Gang about this matter again.

Li Yu shook his head with a wry smile and murmured speechlessly: "No one can stay idle!"

Put down the gun and walked out.

Go down to the first floor, where Father Li and Mother Li are all there.

Li Hang was chatting with Li Gang, and the two looked a little excited while chatting.

"Brother, I'm going tomorrow too!" Li Hang said before Li Gang could speak.

Li Yu glared at him and cursed: "Shut up."

Then he said to Li Gang: "Gather in Wengcheng at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Before Li Gang could speak, he heard Li Yu agree.

He jumped three feet high with joy, and then raised his eyebrows at Li Hang, as if to say, little brother, the third brother can't help you.

After Li Gang got Li Yu's answer, he immediately ran out of the hall.

Li Hang looked at Li Yu unhappily, his eyes obviously unconvinced.

"Xiaoyu, where are you going tomorrow? It's too dangerous to be exposed to such strong solar radiation." Mother Li said with some worry.

Li Yu said, "Well, let's go to Central City to do some tasks. We'll take a helicopter there. It'll be quick."

It took a few minutes to finally calm my mother down.

Li Yu looked at Li Hang sitting next to him, glanced at him, and said to him:

"You come up with me!"

"Oh!" Li Hang was a little unconvinced. Since the expansion of the Zhangshu base, his chances of going out with Li Yu have become less and less.

Li Yu put him in various positions to hone his skills. At first, he went out to perform combat missions and worked with Lao Luo and other combatants.

Then, together with He Chao, he managed many collaborators and non-staff personnel.

When he got to the back, he was asked to go on duty with Uncle Lu and others.

Recently, he was asked to go to the maintenance factory in the Second Outer City to learn something with the mechanical experts and electrical experts.

Basically, he rotated through the more important jobs in the base, which also allowed him to get to know all the people in the base.

After all, there are not just dozens of people in the base now. Excluding cooperation staff and non-staff personnel, there are also hundreds of people in the inner and outer cities.

Li Hang followed Li Yu to the top floor.

Rooftop sun room.

Li Yu opened the glass door of the sun room, and the night wind outside blew in.

The heat of the day was blown away.

Li Yu sat on a wicker chair.

Watching Li Hang slowly walk up.

"Close the door!" Li Yu said.

"oh."

Li Hang turned around silently and closed the door through which he entered.

Seeing that he seemed a little unconvinced, Li Yu took out a pack of cigarettes from his body.

Shake out a cigarette and light it with a lighter.

Bada——

Hiss. Huh.

Li Yu put his hands behind the chair and let his body assume a relaxed posture.

Li Hang looked at Li Yu with some fear, perhaps due to bloodline suppression.

He has been afraid of his elder brother since he was a child, and even more so after the apocalypse.

Li Yu just looked at him.

Look at him quietly.

Li Hang was a little embarrassed by what he saw, and quickly said: "I won't go, I won't go."

Halfway through the cigarette, Li Yu said dullly: "Do you know why I won't let you go?"

Li Hang thought for a while and said, "Because I am a father, and also for my safety."

Li Yu was noncommittal to his answer.

After a few seconds, he said, "It's more than that."

"Have you ever thought about what would happen to Da Zhangshu Base if I died?" Li Yu asked lightly.

A light word.

But like a thunderous thunder, Li Hang was stunned and speechless.

He had never thought about it. He had always been used to having his elder brother Li Yu standing in front of him. He had never thought about what would happen if his elder brother died!

He didn't dare to think about it, and he had never thought about it this way.

The eldest brother has always been the strongest existence in his mind.

"Here, here, brother, are you feeling unwell somewhere?" Li Hang thought Li Yu was sick.

Li Yu replied: "No, I am in good health, to be precise, very good. Answer the question I just asked, suppose I die, what will happen to the Da Zhangshu Base?"

Li Hang felt relieved when he heard Li Yu say that there was nothing wrong with his health.

Then he started thinking about why Li Yu asked him this question, and thought about what would happen to the base if such a thing really happened.

As he thought about it, sweat broke out on his forehead and he was very nervous.

At the Da Zhangshu Base, Li Yu is the soul of the base.

Most people in the inner and outer cities have accepted Li Yu's favor. Song Min, Lao Lu, Ding Jiu, Lao Luo, Lao Bi, Ju Tianrui, Xiao Jun and even He Bing in the outer city, especially He Chao, are the eldest brother. Absolutely loyal.

No one in the entire base can replace Li Yu's position.

If the eldest brother really dies, what will happen to the base?

Third uncle, yes! If Uncle San is here, he can control the field.

It's just that some people probably don't listen to Third Uncle's control.

In addition, the third uncle is basically in charge of external operations. Like the uncle, Lao Lu, who came from the police, might be more biased towards the uncle?

So, who will He Chao prefer?

Just as he was thinking, Li Yu suddenly said:

“If I die, if we want to keep the base from collapsing, there must be someone who can act as a connection point and bring everyone together.

People's desire for power is endless. Although our base is currently very united, we must prepare for the worst. "

"If the third uncle takes my place, given his temperament, he probably won't be willing to do it. As for the second uncle, he doesn't have much combat experience, and some combatants may be dissatisfied with him.

Among the younger generations, only you, Tie Zi, and Gang Zi are suitable. "

"But, if I really die, my uncle and uncle will definitely not want Tiezi and others to be leaders.

Because they are not directly related by blood.

So, it’s only you, and it can only be you.

Only you can link them, and if I die, you will inherit all my connections. He Chao and the others will definitely listen to you. "

"So, if I go out, you can't go out. One of us must ensure adequate safety!"

Li Yu broke it all apart, crushed it into pieces, and told Li Hang bit by bit.

Li Hang has grown a lot in the past two years and is no longer weak in terms of combat power.

Moreover, he also does a good job in managing non-staff personnel and collaborators.

Li Hang's expression was stern as he listened to Li Yu tell him this.

There were waves in my heart.

It turns out that the eldest brother was motivated by this consideration.

It turns out that the eldest brother has such profound thoughts.

Even consider the worst-case scenario and tell him what to do.

He felt that his three views had been reshaped, and he was observing everything with a more penetrating gaze, as if he were observing everything from the perspective of a bystander.

Li Yu talked a lot and smoked two cigarettes.

After finishing speaking, Li Yu leaned on the chair and quietly watched Li Hang slowly digest.

He understands his brother. He is innocent but lacks a little bit of mind.

It’s not considered beautiful jade, nor is it considered rotten wood, it can only be regarded as a middle-class appearance.

A long time passed, I don't know if it was one minute or ten minutes.

There seemed to be something extra in Li Hang's eyes.

The look in Li Yu's eyes was a little different.

The mood is a bit complicated, with mixed feelings.

He said to Li Yu: "Brother, I understand!"

Then he lowered his head again, slowly recalling what Li Yu just said.

Li Yu looked at him and hesitated for a moment whether to tell him about the secret passage in the basement. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

It's not that I don't believe in Li Hang, but it's not that time yet.

Seeing Li Hang lost in thought, Li Yu stood up.

He gently patted Li Hang on the shoulder, and then walked down the top floor, leaving Li Hang alone to think.

Return to the room.

Li Yu wiped the gun and put all the bullets in the magazine.

The moonlight outside is bright, and you can see everything in the room without turning on the lights. Although it is a little blurry, you can at least see clearly that the stool is a stool and the table is a table.

Li Yu put the gun away and touched a dagger on his underwear.

This knife is always with him even when he sleeps.

When He Yutong and the others were shy, they made jokes before.

Ask him why he has two knives.

Later, when Li Yu was embarrassed, he put the knife on the table.

I don't know what I'm thinking about, I just keep my mind empty, I just control my body with my consciousness to wash myself, and then I sit on the stool on the balcony.

The moonlight outside the house was miserable and absurd.

"November, it's been three years since the apocalypse broke out!"

Li Yu murmured to himself.

Then he looked at the bright moonlight and was in a daze.

During the day, the solar radiation is so intense that it is impossible to look directly at the sun.

I have been keeping my head down for a long time, and it is a good experience to occasionally look up at the sky.

Many people have never raised their heads and have always lowered their heads to do things. They have never seen the bright stars.

There are also some people who keep raising their heads to see the stars and the sea, but never lower their heads to seriously see where they are and how to go.

After being reborn, he kept his head down. Gradually there were more people, and he raised his head to look at the sky.

In this world of moral decay, it is extremely difficult to create a place that exists like a Garden of Eden.

In fact, he might die accidentally at some point.

However, he always felt that he had to work hard for something.

There must always be some goals and dreams.

Reach for the stars,

Even if the effort is in vain,

Don’t have your hands full of mud.
