Chapter 1216 Am I the kind of person who likes killing?

Southern Paradise.

Several helicopters landed slowly.

Master Hu, Li Yu and others got out of the helicopter.

After getting off the helicopter, Li Yu said to Li Tie and others:

"Fill up the fuel, and then we'll set off back to Oil City."

"Okay, brother." Li Tie nodded and went to refuel the helicopter.

When they came out this time, there were not many people on board the helicopter, so most of the space was used to store aviation kerosene.

Although there is still fuel in the helicopter, it is almost enough to fly back to Oil City, but for the sake of safety, it is safer to fill up the tank.

After hearing what Li Yu said, Master Hu smiled and invited:

"City Master Li, don't be so anxious. You can have another night's rest in the Southern Paradise tonight, and it will be the same when you return tomorrow."

"No need."

Li Yu shook his head and said:

"I'm back to Oil City this time. I'll probably go back to the Zhangshu Base Headquarters tomorrow or two days. Master Hu, didn't you always say you want to go and have a look? How about we come together?"

Hearing this, Master Hu smiled bitterly and said:

"Not for the time being. There are a lot of things going on right now. The trading bazaar we cooperate with has recently been delayed due to heavy rains. The transportation of raw materials has been delayed. I have to watch."

Master Hu's reason was quite legitimate, and Li Yu stopped trying to persuade him after hearing what he said.

It took more than ten minutes to refuel the helicopter, so Li Yu just watched and waited next to the helicopter.

Mr. Hu was also accompanying him. After all, Li Yu had such a high status. If he just ran up and ignored Li Yu, it would seem a bit ungrateful.

The two chatted while waiting for Li Tie and the others to refuel the helicopter.

Soon, ten minutes flew by.

"Brother, the fuel has been filled and you can set off at any time." Li Tie came over to report.

"Um."

Li Yu nodded slightly, then turned to Master Hu and said:

"Master Hu, I'll leave it to you to trade the raw materials at the bazaar. I'll leave first. See you next time."

With a smile on his face, Master Hu took the initiative to reach out and hold Li Yu's hand, feeling inexplicably and saying:

"City Lord Li, have a nice journey. I hope that after the trading market is built, it will become bigger and stronger!"

"That's for sure." Li Yu patted the back of Master Hu's hand, and then walked towards the helicopter.

Looking at Li Yu's leaving figure, Master Hu felt filled with emotions.

He felt old, and he didn't know how long he could lead Southern Paradise.

The waves of zombies one after another made them physically and mentally exhausted.

Maybe one day in the future, Southern Paradise can really no longer hold on, and at least there is this trading market as a retreat.

After a long period of contact, especially the experience of going to Naked Castle together, Mr. Hu had a deeper understanding of Li Yu.

Such a person would be very scary to become an enemy.

But if you become his friend or one of your own, you should feel very safe.

Thinking of this, Master Hu was in a daze, watching the helicopter fly higher and higher until it disappeared from the sky.

In the helicopter.

Li Yu saw that Li Tie seemed to be worried, so he asked:

"Tiezi, what's wrong with you?"

Li Tie came back to his senses when he heard Li Yu calling him.

"Huh? It's okay."

"Just counting how long we've been out."

Li Yu was slightly startled when he heard what he said. It seemed that it had been more than a month since he counted the days.

It’s been more than a month.

After coming out of the base, they first encountered a plane crash on the way to Oil City.

After running away in the virgin forest for several days, I met a group of survivors later.

After that, he went directly to the northern border and stayed in the northern border for more than half a month.

Clean up the zombies in the north and then take over the affiliated forces.

Plan the northern border, dispatch personnel from the Da Zhangshu Base to support it, and prepare to build it into a grain production base.

For more than a month, one incident after another has been passing through my mind.

It gives people a dream-like feeling.

The helicopter flew for less than two hours and arrived over Oil City.

Looking down from above the Oil City, you can see the entire trading market.

More than half of the foundation for the trading market wall has been built, and it is expected to be completed in a few days.

Once the foundation is done, the remaining walls can be poured directly with concrete, which will be faster.

Once the wall is built, foreign trade can almost begin.

Propaganda is necessary in all times, even in the last days.

It is still in the construction stage. Li Yu has asked all the people who go out to collect supplies to try their best to tell the survivors they meet what this trading market can do and that they are welcome to come here to trade.

Buzz buzz——

There are people everywhere on the construction site of the trading market.

Many people on the ground raised their heads and looked at the helicopter in the sky, flying towards the Oil City.

"The city lord must have returned. I heard that they went to Southern Paradise. I don't know what they were doing there."

"It seems like there's trouble over there in Southern Paradise. I heard it from someone yesterday."

"You two, stop gossiping and hurry up!"

Around Oil City, the rain on the ground has dried up long ago. Oil City is located inland. It rained a few days ago in Southern Paradise, and it was still a heavy rain.

But it only rained lightly for half a day, which did not delay the construction progress too much.

As the helicopter lands.

Ju Tianrui felt relieved when he saw Li Yu walking out of the helicopter.

When he communicated with Xiao Jun on the radio two days ago, he learned that it had rained heavily over there, and he had been worried about it for the past few days.

"City Lord, you are finally back. Is Chen Er okay now?" Ju Tianrui walked up and asked.

Li Yu nodded and said, "It's okay."

"I just saw that it was going very fast. There seemed to be a lot more people. Where did these people come from?"

"Coming from the North."

Ju Tianrui opened the list in his hand and continued:

"The Iron Blood Gang, their gang leader's surname is He. His name is He Tian. He probably brought more than 300 people."

"There is also an ancient city force with more than two hundred people."

Li Yu remembered that he had called on the affiliated forces in the north to come to the trading market. Unexpectedly, four or five forces came one after another, totaling almost 1,300 people.

If we add the 800 people from Southern Paradise and the 500 reinforcements from Da Zhangshu Base, the total number of construction personnel here exceeds 2,600.

This number is very scary.

Like when the outer city was built at Dazhangshu Base, there were only a few hundred people.

After the fourth outer city was built subsequently, the number of people increased.

Li Yu thought for a while and asked:

"Will there be pressure on food?"

Ju Tianrui pointed to several trucks passing by and replied:

"Fortunately, the minister sent someone to transport another batch of food from the north. It should be enough to feed everyone in Oil City for three months."

Hundreds of tons of food were obtained from the north, enough to sustain them for a long time.

What's more, the Da Zhangshu Base is still producing a steady stream of food.

When the northern border is renovated and greenhouses are built, the food production there will be very impressive.

Overall, their current food reserves are enough to support the construction of the trading bazaar.

"Um."

Li Yu nodded and asked:

"Are there any problems with the construction of the trading market?"

"If there are no problems, I will return to Da Zhangshu Base tomorrow."

As he spoke, he walked towards the conference room.

Ju Tianrui quickly followed up, remembering something that happened yesterday, but he felt that it was not a big problem, but it was best to talk to the city lord.

So he said:

"There are no other problems. It's just that there are more people now, and these construction workers come from different places, so there is some friction between them."

"There was a fight yesterday. It was mainly between the people from our Da Zhangshu Base and the people sent from Southern Paradise. They got into a fight over a trivial matter."

Li Yu frowned, "How many people participated? Is there any bleeding? How did you deal with it?"

Three questions in a row.

Ju Tianrui quickly said:

"There are not many people. There are four support staff at our headquarters base, and there are five in Southern Paradise. There was no blood, but there was an argument, and then they collided with each other, and were finally pulled away by the patrol personnel."

"The root cause of the quarrel was mainly because Southern Paradise made a sarcastic comment, saying that the collaborators were all refugees with no status. They had quarreled before, and then they quarreled several times. Recently, the two sides got angry and started fighting."

"I was thinking that after all, Southern Paradise is here to help us, and I don't want to make our Da Zhangshu Base's treatment unfair and affect other construction personnel because of this kind of thing.

So I gave them both a fifty-high board. Let them go without food for a day. "

Li Yu felt that there was nothing wrong with it at first, but it was not until later that he felt that something was not right.

What's going on?

If you swallow your anger, you do it because your strength is inferior to others.

What is the style and magnanimity of a powerful force? Just to make your own people suffer?

What's more, it was not a conflict initiated by the collaborators.

Li Yu gently hammered the table in the conference room.

Although it was beaten gently, it still made a vibrating sound.

"Lao Ju, you have to understand one thing."

Li Yu took a long breath, looked directly at Ju Tianrui and said seriously:

"We are not asking them to support us and help us build a trading market."

"But!"

“They beg us to take them to play!”

"Whether it's the Southern Paradise or the affiliated forces in the North, when they come to build trading bazaars, we give them benefits."

Li Yu felt increasingly unhappy as he spoke.

"Southern Paradise, we promised to give them one-tenth of the market's subsequent profits, and even divided some areas for them to use alone. We also gave them fuel support, which is enough!"

"As for the affiliated forces like the Dawn Regiment, they were originally our affiliated forces. Being able to let them work and give them food is already a gift."

"You must always remember that when you do anything, you must first ensure that your own people don't suffer. The pattern and magnanimity are all empty. This is the end of the world. This thing cannot be used as food."

Ju Tianrui swallowed and his body stiffened.

This was the first time that he was taught such a positive lesson by Li Yu, not to mention being reprimanded.

Listening to what Li Yu said, he felt that what he said made sense, and he immediately understood the status of their Da Zhangshu base among these people.

A vivid example.

How can the elder brother go out to play and have the younger brother sit in the back while the elder brother drives the car?

Their Da Zhangshu base is the big brother, and Southern Paradise is the little brother. As for the affiliated forces in the north, they are even more humble than my younger brother.

Therefore, since those collaborators were not at fault, they should not be punished!

Even if they are just collaborators, in Li Yu's mind, they are much more important than people from Southern Paradise and affiliated forces.

"Then, City Lord, what should I do?"

Ju Tianrui remembered Li Yu's previous operations, so he said with some embarrassment:

"Kill the people in Southern Paradise!?"

He actually felt that killing was definitely not appropriate, but when he was at the base, Li Yu saw people fighting and killed them directly.

Li Yu rolled his eyes and said speechlessly:

“No, give Master Hu some face and let them handle it themselves.

You contact Mr. Hu later, tell him what happened, and then ask them to send someone to take it away. Just tell Mr. Hu that I already know about the matter and let Mr. Hu take care of it. "

Ju Tianrui was a little stunned when he heard this.

After all, with Li Yu's dominant position in the bilateral relationship, he told Master Hu through his own mouth that the city lord already knew about the matter and asked Master Hu to take the person away by himself.

This is Li Yu's representative of the Da Zhangshu Base to give Mr. Hu face.

If Mr. Hu handles it himself, he must also give Li Yu face.

It is the fault of those people in the Southern Paradise. If the result is not satisfactory to Li Yu, the consequences may affect the relationship between the two parties.

Subsequent cooperation will also create hidden dangers.

In order to satisfy Li Yu, Master Hu will definitely punish those people severely to show his attitude.

At the same time, letting Southern Paradise take the people away by itself can also allow the remaining Southern Paradise personnel involved in the construction to not arouse too much emotion.

Otherwise, people in Oil City will be killed directly, and it will cause a big disturbance, let alone building a trading market, and it may even cause a huge conflict.

Hearing what Li Yu said, Ju Tianrui breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not just about killing them directly.

It is too difficult to manage this many people.

He used to manage only a few hundred to less than a thousand people, but now due to the construction of the trading bazaar, the number of people he has to manage has reached 3,000.

This is so damn stressful.

"I understand, City Lord, I will contact Mr. Hu later." Ju Tianrui looked a little relaxed.

Li Yu looked at Ju Tianrui amusedly, "I'm not a killer, okay? I hate fighting and killing the most."

"Are you going to kill them because of me?"

Ju Tianrui nodded, then quickly shook his head and said:

"No, no, I know that the city lord, you must be wise and powerful, and you will definitely consider everything carefully."

Li Yu couldn't laugh or cry.

"Go away, you look a bit like that guy now, Zhang Rufeng. Your tone of voice when talking to that guy is similar to what you are talking about now. It's a lot of flattery."

Ju Tianrui scratched his head in embarrassment and said to Li Yu:

"Then I'm leaving."

"Get lost." Li Yu laughed and cursed.

"By the way, those cooperators did nothing wrong. Each of them was given a can of fruit and two sticks of starch sausage."

I found a lot of starch sausages with a long shelf life from the Northern Federation, which are very convenient for cooking or eating dry.

"Yes." Ju Tianrui turned around and said.

Right on the trading market construction site.

"Hey!"

Zhang Rufeng sneezed and murmured:

"Who is scolding me?"

Then he looked in the direction of Oil City, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

"Let's see if I can meet the City Lord tonight. I recently wrote a modern poem praising the City Lord. It would be great if I could recite it in front of him."

Life is not easy, hold on tight and avoid detours.

This is the path he has summarized over the years since Zhang Rufeng's last days.

From the beginning, I went to Sanshan Village to become a son-in-law.

Until now, although the journey has been bumpy, it has been smooth.
