Chapter 1362: There is still an evil star hidden in the northwest

Li Yu stopped, pulled out the chair he had just put back, and sat down.

He was very curious why Qing Yuan asked him to go to the northwest.

Qing Yuan crossed his legs, thought for a few seconds, and said:

"The city lord still remembers that little poem, there is a line in it that there is still a star of evil hidden in the northwest, and the song of peace has not been sung everywhere."

"The future challenges of the Dazhangshu Base may be in the northwest. If you want to break the situation, you need to go to the northwest in person."

As the lord of the Dazhangshu Base, Li Yu has gathered thousands of honors and disgraces in one person. He is extremely important to the Dazhangshu Base.

In theory, a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall, let alone he is the lord of a city.

If there is really a big enemy in the northwest as Qing Yuan said, then he can't take risks.

However, when Li Yu heard Qing Yuan suggest that he leave the Dazhangshu Base and go to the northwest, he was not only not dissatisfied, but also a little excited.

He has a crazy gene in his bones, likes adventure, likes excitement, and likes to fight at the forefront.

But due to his identity as the lord of the Dazhangshu Base, he is often well protected.

Even his second uncle and his eldest uncle tried their best to dissuade him from going to the front line.

"The enemy in the northwest? Where exactly is it? What strength is it?" Li Yu asked while sitting in a chair with narrowed eyes.

This Qing Yuan is a bit too magical. He can even calculate the enemy?

Qing Yuan shook his head and said:

"It may not be an enemy. It's just that the challenge of the future camphor tree base is in the northwest of the camphor tree base. The specific location is not clear, and the strength is even less clear."

He added another sentence.

"In fact, good and bad are interdependent. It is a challenge and may also be an opportunity."

This statement is too vague. The northwest direction of the camphor tree base covers too wide a range.

Later, he said that good and bad are interdependent. This is the fucking

thing he said.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" Li Yu asked patiently.

Although Qing Yuan's words were extremely vague, based on Qing Yuan's previous performance, Li Yu still attached great importance to what he said.

Besides, five years have passed since his rebirth. He no longer has the advantage of foresight. He must pay attention to this magical little Taoist priest who came to his door.

"No, City Lord." Qing Yuan bowed to Li Yu.

"Thank you, Taoist Qing Yuan. If there is anything later, you can go directly to He Chao and ask him to find me."

"Okay, you are polite, City Lord."

Li Yu smiled and nodded, then left the room.

Qing Yuan looked at Li Yu's back as he left and fell into deep thought.

The reason why he took the initiative to remind him was that he saw that Li Yu's horoscope was excellent and had a prosperous appearance.

At present, the end of the world is turbulent, and the horoscope that Li Yu carries is the hope to end this end of the world.

He saw these.

Therefore, he would take the initiative to remind him.

In fact, whether he said it or not, whether he did it or not, it might not change the result.

However, he was eating and drinking for free in the camphor tree base, so he had to do something to repay him.

Besides, his reunion with his junior brother was also thanks to this Lord Li. It is not right to accept a favor and not give it back.

After coming out of the residential building in the outer city, Li Yu was thinking over and over again about what Qing Yuan had just said.

"Northwest?"

"Do I have to go there in person to break the deadlock?"

"The premise of breaking the deadlock must be that you have encountered difficulties, otherwise how can you break the deadlock."

"What kind of challenges will there be in the northwest? Will it be people or zombies, or..."

No matter what, after this natural disaster is over, send someone to the northwest to find out if there are any large forces.

Let's go to the northwest first. The northwest is vast, with a total of five provinces.

It occupies 32% of the total land area.

This range is wide enough, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I don't know if I can find it.

While thinking, Li Yu unknowingly came to the outer city wall.

Since we have come here, we will go up the wall to see the zombie tide and take a look at the second uncle and others in the duty room.

The rain on the wall flowed along the drainage ditches on both sides.

Li Yu climbed the wall and saw a man standing on duty in the rain.

Tap tap -

Song Qi heard the footsteps behind him and turned around to look over here.

"City Lord? City Lord, you are here."

In the past five years, Song Qi has grown from a young boy to a tall and mature young man.

From his eyebrows and eyes, it can be seen that he has some similarities with Song Min.

"Yeah, yes." Li Yu smiled and nodded.

Song Qi looked at Li Yu with admiration, "Okay, City Lord, go slowly, the ground is slippery."

The duty room is just ahead.

As an important duty room of the big camphor tree base, this is always where the most people gather.

Walking into the No. 1 duty room, the No. 1 duty room has been upgraded and rebuilt many times, and the area has increased a lot.

And all kinds of items and equipment inside are available.

The map of the oil city, the map of the big camphor tree base, the map of Gan City, and the map of the whole country are all posted on the wall.

Second Uncle usually works here. Sometimes he is too lazy to go to the canteen at noon, so he eats here.

There are even several camp beds here, so he can lie down and rest at night.

Squeak——

Li Yu pushed open the door of the duty room, and there were more than a dozen people busy inside.

The operator sitting in front of the wireless long-wave radio station, looking at the surveillance camera

Second Uncle stood by the wall, staring at the map of the oil city in a daze.

"City Lord."

"City Lord."

Li Yu smiled and waved to them, "You are busy, so don't worry about me."

Hearing the voices of He An and others, the second uncle turned his head and looked towards the door.

"Xiaoyu, you're here."

"Second uncle, you are staring at the map in a daze, what are you thinking about?"

"It's been raining heavily. Your third uncle gave Lao Xie the Type III potion yesterday to take out for use. I don't know when this thunderstorm natural disaster will end."

When the second uncle said this, his eyebrows were filled with sadness.

Like Li Yu, he is also worried about Oil City.

Based on the current situation, Oil City may be able to last longer, but the trading market can only last another month and a half at most.

One and a half months later, the thunderstorm disaster did not end, and the trading market was over.

All the hard work we have put into it has been in vain. The future development of the Da Zhangshu Base will be even more difficult.

Li Yu just came over from Qingyuan and made a divination from Qingyuan, which was about this matter.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally said:

"It should be soon."

"oh?"

The second uncle glanced at Li Yu with some doubts. He was not a fool and understood that Li Yu's words were definitely not without purpose.

There must be something he doesn't know that makes Li Yu think so.

"What Qingyuan said?"

"It's not that clear." Li Yu replied calmly.

"oh."

The second uncle was dubious. Even now, the second uncle is still reluctant to believe the results of Qingyuan's divination.

But the divination was correct these several times. This irrefutable fact made him a little confused.

"There's one more thing."

"What?" The second uncle looked at Li Yu doubtfully.

Li Yu pointed to the small compartment in the duty room, which was used to store weapons and ammunition.

The second uncle instantly understood what Li Yu meant, which meant that he didn't want others to hear it.

The two walked into the cubicle.

"Qingyuan said that the future challenge to the Zhangshu Base will come from the northwest, but he did not make it clear whether this challenge was from a certain force or something else."

"He said the key to breaking the situation is for me to go to the northwest in person."

Li Yu probably told his second uncle what Qingyuan said.

The second uncle frowned when he heard half of it, especially when he heard that Li Yu was asked to go to the northwest in person.

"What Qingyuan said is too vague."

"Xiaoyu, you can't go. Not to mention that the northwest is vast. If you want to find it, how? How long will it take? If this challenge really refers to a powerful force, run there in person in case you encounter it. what to do?"

"This Qingyuan! It's true!"

The second uncle was a little wary and had already begun to guess whether Qingyuan had something up his sleeve.

That's how he is, always thinking the worst about people's minds.

Li Yu saw his second uncle so excited and said with a wry smile:

"Second uncle, please don't get excited yet."

"I didn't say I was going now, or as soon as the thunderstorm was over. The northwest is so big, there's no point running around like a headless fly."

"I definitely won't go there right away, but I don't think Qingyuan is the kind of person who talks nonsense. There must be a reason for him to say that."

"So, I want to wait for the thunderstorm disaster and send a group of people to the northwest to explore the best. If you can't find it, there is nothing you can do."

When the second uncle heard what Li Yu said, he understood.

"You mean, whether it's there or not, send someone over there first to have a look? But where to look for it? It's so big in the northwest?"

"Let's search all the way there, just let it happen. To search such a big place requires a lot of manpower. We don't have that many manpower. Even if we do, there is no need to waste too much manpower on this. At most, we can send a small team there. .

If you can find it, look for it; if you can’t find it, come back. "

"Shooting a shotgun into the sky, does it all depend on luck?" The second uncle used a metaphor to describe Li Yu's words.

"Well, that's pretty much it."

After hearing this, the second uncle smacked his lips and said, "Okay, it just so happens that we can let the team explore the situation in the other northwest. It has been so long since the end of the world, and we have never heard any news from the northwest, nor have we heard anything from the northwest. Survivors who came over.”

"So, this is why I sent someone there."

To expand the base, you must slowly understand the overall environment.

Find out what large forces are around.

The development of Dazhangshu Base has always been relatively conservative and has never launched malicious attacks on the outside.

Usually it's the unfamiliar forces that are greedy and risk their lives that provoke them, and they will fight back.

This world is dominated by the weak and the strong, and there is no need for any reason for the struggle between forces.

Partners like Southern Paradise that can form strategic alliances are rare.

If other forces had the strength of Da Zhangshu Base, they would definitely annex Southern Paradise directly. Master Hu and the leadership of Southern Paradise would be killed, supplies would be robbed, and the rest would either surrender or be used as slaves.

But Da Zhangshu Base did not do this. Instead, it used the method of bundling interests to play with this little brother.

But unknowingly, as the cooperation between Southern Paradise and Oil City becomes more and more in-depth, there is actually a trend of integration.

Apart from anything else, South Paradise has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the trading market, and the sunk cost is very high. In the future, they will also participate in the management here, and they will definitely have to invest more.

And Tiger Master is old. If Tiger Master dies, who can control South Paradise?

Ma Yingxue is Tiger Master's adopted daughter and lives in Oil City.

"Then I agree, just send a small team over, I agree."

"But who is more suitable to lead the team? The northwest is not close to us, and this mission will probably take a long time."

"Second Uncle." Li Yu suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"Hmm."

"You said, why don't we just issue the task directly? A big reward will attract brave men. After the natural disaster, we can simply issue the task of exploring the northwest at the camphor tree base and the trading market.

As long as we collect information about the forces in the northwest, we will give a big reward!"

After hearing this, the second uncle coughed and said:

"Well, the scattered survivors can't participate at all. They can't go that far and don't have fuel and energy."

"Medium and large forces, you have the ability to cross such a long distance, but we don't know what the situation in the northwest is, and we can't give them a destination.

In other words, for them, they may return empty-handed, and this possibility is very high.

In addition, the cost of a trip there must be not small."

"Not to mention the food consumed on the road, just say that they encounter various complex road conditions and dangers on the road, which is enough to make them retreat."

"It's difficult to travel thousands of kilometers just for such an unclear goal."

After hearing the analysis of the second uncle, Li Yu felt that there was some truth.

Touching his chin, the slightly raised stubble was a bit prickly.

"So, this matter can only be done by our own people?"

"I think so."

The second uncle continued:

"It will be more efficient to have those survivors help us search in the northwest, but the northwest is too big, even if dozens of teams go there, it will be like a drop in the bucket.

On the contrary, if so many people run over, what if there is really a powerful force in the northwest and captures these survivors?

Will we not be exposed?"

"It is impossible to rely on these survivors who have received the task and are willing to pay the price of their lives without telling any news about the big camphor tree base or the oil city. People are realistic."

"Yeah."

Li Yu quite agrees with this point.

If the northwest that Qing Yuan said is really a powerful force, then it is best not to let them know the existence of the big camphor tree base.

Whoever knows the other party first will have more initiative.

It is better not to find the other party than to let the other party know about themselves.

"What the second uncle said makes sense, so let's send our own people to search." Li Yu nodded.

"I came to you to talk about this matter. As for the selection, let's wait until the natural disaster is over before we talk about it."

"Okay." The second uncle had no objection.
