Chapter 1429 Sincerity, regardless of everything!

The next day.

Li Yu had been in the North Territory for four days.

All the inspections had been completed. As for Uncle San, they were supposed to return to the Dazhangshu Base together.

But due to the existence of the Northwest, after talking with Li Yu, Uncle San planned to go to Oil City.

The North Territory was handed over to Lao Xie and Lao Yi for management.

The military force in the North Territory was not strong. It was originally defined as an agricultural planting area responsible for producing food.

The personnel and weapons matched were based on self-protection considerations.

If the defense force here is to be strengthened, it is necessary to dispatch personnel from the Dazhangshu Base and Oil City.

The force is too dispersed and it is easy to be defeated one by one.

Defense also needs to have focus and priority.

Oil City is right between the Dazhangshu Base and the North Territory, and its location is relatively critical.

So their strategy is that the priority of defense is: Dazhangshu Base\u003e Oil City\u003e North Territory.

Compared with Oil City and North Territory, Oil City is obviously more important.

The military force in the Oil City is stronger, and Uncle San's on-site command can better exert the combat effectiveness of the Oil City.

And even if the Northwest really sends a large army to the Northland, they will just withdraw directly.

Let the Northwest people occupy the Northland, and use zombie attracting potions and heavy artillery bombardment at night to teach the Northwest people a lesson.

The grain planting in the Northland cannot be planted in a short time.

If the crops in the Northland are ripe at this time, the priority level of the Northland will be higher than it is now.

The underground tunnel left by Yuan Zhi in the inner city of the Northland was reopened by Uncle San and Lao Xie and others later.

On the basis of sealing the exit a few kilometers away, it was reinforced again to make it more stable.

And at the two-thirds position of the tunnel, choose a suitable location to dig a few hundred meters in another direction and find a suitable exit in a forest.

The reason for doing this is also to consider that once the Northwest sends people over, not all people in the Northland can escape by helicopter.

The people in the outer city of the North, they have now joined the camp of the camphor tree base, and they can't just stay here and wait for death.

But more than 3,000 people cannot be taken away by the six helicopters left in the North.

Opening and renovating the corridor has become their way of dealing with it.

Uncle San explained the things in the North to Lao Xie and Lao Yi one by one.

In the basement of the City Lord's Mansion, Uncle San looked at the sealed entrance of the corridor.

"That's about it, did you write it down?"

Lao Xie smoothed his hair and said quickly:

"Minister, don't worry, we wrote it down."

"Now that the sentry tower outside the North has been restored, we will definitely know if a strange convoy approaches."

Uncle San nodded, "If they really come to the North. The northwest is powerful, don't confront them head-on, strategic shift. We will come back sooner or later."

"Understood!" The two looked serious.

"Go up."

Uncle San took the two back to the ground, and the helicopter was full of fuel in the helipad in the distance.

Li Yu was waiting in the shade of the eaves, hugging his shoulders.

"City Lord, everything is ready, ready to take off at any time." Old Bi was sweating all over, jogging from the helipad.

"Yeah." Li Yu glanced at the City Lord's Mansion, and just saw Uncle San walking out with Old Xie and Old Yi.

Li Yu smiled and waved to Uncle San, who raised his hand in response and walked over at the same time.

Guo Peng and others came to see him off.

Yang Tianlong looked at Zhu Xiao who was seeing him off and said, "Goodbye, base."

People of the same kind naturally appreciate each other.

The two of them are similar in body shape, both of them are big and muscular, and their personalities are somewhat similar.

Although one is from the inner city and the other is from the outer city, it does not prevent them from being friends.

Zhu Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, but I don't know when I can return to the headquarters base."

"Sometimes I still envy you for being able to run around with the city lord."

Zhu Xiao is also an impatient person and doesn't like to stay in one place for a long time.

But there is no way, the mission is in hand, the order is there, he can only do this.

Yang Tianlong was silent after hearing Zhu Xiao's words.

He didn't know how to answer Zhu Xiao's words.

Sometimes, isn't that what people are like? They are always forced to restrain their inner desires for the future and for three meals a day.

How many people can really do what they want to do?

And I happened to be lucky and joined the camphor tree base early, so I had a choice.

Most people don't have a choice.

Seeing Yang Tianlong silent, Zhu Xiao laughed freely:

"Haha, in fact, I should be content. I have food, drink and a place to live. This is better than many survivors. Everything now is a luxury a few years ago."

"That's right." Yang Tianlong also laughed.

People always have all kinds of desires and will never be satisfied.

But sometimes, it is better to pay more attention to the present and be content than anything else.

Uncle San walked to Li Yu and said, "Let's go."

The two walked to the apron together.

Next to them followed Lao Xie, Lao Yi, Lao Bi and others.

Uncle San had explained everything that needed to be explained, and there was no more nonsense. He got on the helicopter, and a few minutes later, eight helicopters took off.

Li Yu brought over five helicopters, and the remaining three helicopters were "sent" from the northwest.

So much so that this time the helicopter left the northern border, there were many vacant positions.

Food is not produced in the north, and there is nothing to bring.

As for fuel, we don’t even have enough in the north.

However, this time we returned to Oil City, there were a few more people.

Among them are the third uncle, the ant, the jackal, and the judge.

Xu Zhi and Liu Hong were also taken to Oil City together. It no longer made much sense for them to stay in the north.

If a large army is sent from the northwest, the garrison troops in the north will be withdrawn directly.

But if Northwest sends a large army to Oil City, Oil City will not be able to retreat.

There are many people in Oil City, and the trading market that was built with great difficulty will be in vain if everyone in Oil City withdraws.

On the helicopter, the judge asked the ant doubtfully:

"There is also a branch base. I thought it was just in the north."

Ant smiled and said, "Actually, there are three places."

"The headquarters base is in Gan City. The northern border and the Oil City we are going to next are actually branch bases, which were gradually developed later."

"Oh." The judge was a little surprised.

"Is the headquarters base called Da Zhangshu Base? I have heard you mention this name in the past two days."

"Yes."

"Why is it called Da Zhangshu Base?"

"Because there is a huge camphor tree that is hundreds of years old in the center of the camphor tree base."

"Haha, the name is really random."

The judge was happy and a little emotional at the same time.

He didn't expect that in this apocalyptic world, the captain and Li Yu would be able to establish such a large force.

But he was genuinely happy.

The more power you have, the more initiative and choice you have.

Especially in this apocalypse.

Oil City. What will it look like?

The judge had some expectations in his heart.

Gan City.

A row of motorcades sped away from National Highway 319.

These are Xiao Jun and others who returned to Da Zhangshu Base after a night's rest at Wu City Military Base.

They came back with 3,000 tons of oil extracted from Oil City.

Petroleum has many uses, not just refining gasoline and diesel.

Petroleum can be used in many fields.

First of all, petrochemical industry:

Petroleum can be separated and processed to produce many chemicals, such as plastics, coatings, cosmetics, synthetic fibers, etc.

Second point, smelting fuel oil:

Petroleum can be refined into various fuel oils, such as gasoline, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas, etc., which provides convenience for people's transportation and life.

The third point is the pharmaceutical industry:

Devices and products produced from petroleum have important applications in the medical industry, such as as disinfectants in operating rooms and raw materials for the production of pharmaceuticals.

Fourth point, food industry:

Additives produced from petroleum can improve the aroma, taste and nutritional content of food, such as food flavorings, preservatives, etc.

After the scale of Da Zhangshu Base has grown, there are now more than a dozen factories in the base.

Involving food processing plants, plastic products factories, and daily chemical products factories.

These factories all need raw materials such as oil.

There are still thirty kilometers away from the Da Zhangshu base.

More than ten kilometers away is Satellite City No. 1 of Da Zhangshu Base.

As we approached the base of Da Zhangshu, the road became much smoother and not as bumpy as before.

On the roads here, because the base is building a buffer city that requires a lot of construction raw materials, a lot of partners will need to go out to search and transport them back.

There are too many vehicles and it is not conducive to transportation if the road is bumpy.

So we simply repaired the main roads around the Da Zhangshu Base.

In the center of the convoy, inside an armored vehicle.

In addition to the larger windows on the front of the armored vehicle, the windows on the body of the armored vehicle are very small, and there are alloy railings blocking them.

Ma Yingxue sat on the far right side of the armored vehicle, looking at the scenery outside.

"How long until we arrive?"

Xiao Jun had heard Ma Yingxue's question more than a dozen times on the road.

Hearing it again at this time, he smiled and said: "About half an hour."

Ma Yingxue nodded. For Ma Yingxue, the Da Zhangshu Base felt more like going to her husband's home.

Oil City looks more like a place where Xiao Jun works.

On the way back to the Da Zhangshu base, her mood was a bit like that of a young daughter-in-law who went to her husband's house for the first time before the end of the world and then met her parents-in-law and his relatives.

She had never been to Da Zhangshu Base, but she had heard Xiao Jun say before that Da Zhangshu Base was more suitable for life than Oil City, like a paradise.

It has been five or six years since the end of the world, and I have been fighting and living a life of fear.

Everyone living in the last days has a Garden of Eden in their hearts.

There are no zombies, no natural disasters, no dangers there

"How long has it been since you came back here?" Ma Yingxue suddenly turned her head and asked, smiling like a flower.

"How long?"

Xiao Jun looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar roads outside, and felt filled with emotion for a while.

The significance of the Da Zhangshu base in his heart is extremely unique.

When he came to Da Zhangshu Base from Chengzizhoutou, the shock it brought him was unparalleled.

The time he spent at the Da Zhangshu base was the most peaceful and stable day he had spent since the outbreak of the apocalypse.

In the Great Zhangshu Base, it seemed that the end of the world had nothing to do with me. It seemed that when I returned there, I would be completely safe without having to worry about any danger.

Like a bird returning to its nest, like a fish returning to the sea.

Even though he went to Oil City and had a respected status in Oil City, he still could not change the importance of the Da Zhangshu Base in his heart.

Xiao Jun thought for a while and said: "More than 300 days, almost a year."

Since the establishment of Oil City, he followed Ju Tianrui there a few months later. He came back once on the way, stayed briefly for a few days, and then left.

And Ju Tianrui really had never returned here more than a year ago.

Xiao Jun actually joined the Da Zhangshu Base earlier than Ju Tianrui.

Ju Tianrui joined later.

Moreover, when Xiao Jun came out of Chengzizhou Head, he was in a desperate situation. He joined under that situation and had a much deeper feeling for the Da Zhangshu Base than Ju Tianrui.

"It's been a year. It's been a long time. We didn't know each other at that time." Ma Yingxue opened her mouth and said in surprise.

"Yeah, it's been a long time, and I don't know what the Da Zhangshu Base has become like." Xiao Jun sighed with a sigh in his tone.

Although he had heard brief descriptions from people like Lao Luo and others who came to Oil City on missions, he couldn't imagine it.

Ma Yingxue tilted her head and suddenly asked:

"You said before that the headquarters base allocated us a wedding room. Is it true or false?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jun rubbed her head and said with a smile:

"Of course it's real, and it's a house in the inner city."

"I haven't lived in that house yet. When I left last time, I was an outer city employee, and now I have become an inner city employee."

Xiao Jun's eyes were full of smiles, with some indescribable joy.

He wanted to show Ma Yingxue all the good things and share everything he had with Ma Yingxue.

Ma Yingxue's eyes were filled with longing, but also a little tangled, and she asked Xiao Jun:

"What about me? Can I enter the inner city?"

"able!"

Xiao Jun replied without hesitation:

"According to the points system of Da Zhangshu Base, points can be transferred to family members. My points are enough for you to become a member of the inner city. And if you join the inner city, you can bring your family members."

"What's more..."

Xiao Jun said teasingly:

"The city lord approved it and personally agreed to let me pursue you. The city lord specially asked someone to choose this wedding house for me."

Ma Yingxue knew what Xiao Jun meant. At that time, the relationship between Oil City and Southern Paradise was not as stable as it is now.

Among the two forces, Ma Yingxue had a unique status in Nanfang Paradise, and Xiao Jun was the number two figure in the Oil City at that time.

The combination between the two people needs to be very cautious and involves the considerations of the two forces.

What if one of them is a spy sent by another force?

If you do something secretly, you will be in a lot of trouble!

Ma Yingxue knows this, but as a woman, she is somewhat emotional.

So he asked mischievously: "Then what would you do if the city lord didn't allow you to be with me at that time?"

Xiao Jun frowned, this question was a bit emotionally hurtful.

Looking back on that time, he actually thought about this issue as well.

Very confused, Ma Yingxue was the first person he liked in his life.

But his identity in Oil City is very subtle. If he is with Ma Yingxue, he secretly delivers oil to Southern Paradise, or uses his rights to give more oil in the oil transaction with Southern Paradise.

Even if he was discovered, given his status in the oil city, no one would dare to say anything.

But that would lose the interests of Oil City.

When he was struggling, he found his cousin, the jackal.

Jackal's advice to him was to trust the city lord.

He went, and as Jackal expected, Li Yu encouraged him to marry Ma Yingxue.

Upon hearing Ma Yingxue's question, Xiao Jun solemnly said:

"I believe in the city lord, so there are no ifs."

Seeing how serious Xiao Jun was, Ma Yingxue quickly softened her voice and said, "You don't have to be so serious, I understand."

"Actually, I was confused at the time, but later I figured it out."

"What have you figured out?" Xiao Jun asked.

Ma Yingxue looked at Xiao Jun seriously and said:

"I like you, even if my adoptive father stops me, I will be with you."
