Chapter 1750 - 955: Crowds Surging, Faces of the Multitude

Two weeks ago, Li Yu had already issued some orders, so now many tasks were leaving them to conduct final inspections.

Li Yu, rushing from the Inner City, entered Weng City and immediately saw He Bing, Jackals, and others disembarking from the helicopter.

Seeing them, Li Yu stepped forward and asked He Bing:

"Have the Mobile Switch Blades over at the Oil City been installed?"

Upon hearing this familiar voice, He Bing quickly turned his head to see it was Li Yu and promptly replied:

"Rest assured, they’ve all been installed, tested twice with no issues, and I’ve prepared them for potential problems, which they can handle."

Li Yu felt much relieved hearing this.

After all, the Big Camphor Tree Base was bigger and stronger than the Oil City.

"What about Xiao Jun and the others? Haven’t they arrived yet?" Li Yu asked again.

"They should be almost here; they’re just behind us."

"Alright, you all have worked hard on this trip; hurry and go rest."

He Bing nodded, then after a thorough inspection, he and Jackals entered the First Outer City.

But once they entered the First Outer City, they keenly noticed that everyone seemed busy.

Some were busy moving instruments, equipment, and materials out of the bunkers, while others were repeatedly checking the wind barriers beside the greenhouses...

"What’s this?" He Bing, seeing the scene, felt puzzled.

Just at this moment, Old Bi emerged from a building, saw He Bing and Jackals had returned.

With a smile on his face, he shouted, "Hey! You guys finally came back. I made a bet with Old Qin that you’d return today, and he said it’d be tomorrow. Looks like I won this time."

Jackals hurriedly stepped forward, a bit confused, and asked:

"What’s going on? On the way back to the base, we also saw people at the Satellite City packing things into cars."

Old Bi pointed to the duty room on the wall and said:

"I don’t know either; these are orders from the City Lord and Internal Affairs Director. I’ve got matters to attend to, talk to you later."

Having said that, he walked through the group toward Weng City.

"Old Qin, what are you busy with?" Jackals quickly asked.

"Director Li asked me to go out to protect and support Zhou Weiguo, who is responsible for breeding in the Inner City. They need to go out to gather some grass. Can’t talk much; they’re waiting for me; it’ll be awkward if I’m late."

While speaking, he quickened his steps towards Weng City.

He Bing and Jackals exchanged a glance, with some speculation in their eyes.

From the sudden deployment to install Mobile Switch Blades, with tight deadlines, to what they saw along the way, it’s clearly an indication of something big about to happen.

He Bing and Jackals, with minds filled with concerns, walked into the buildings of the Outer City.

.....

The wind that started last night hasn’t stopped until noon today.

The sky and ground are presenting more and more strange phenomena.

The insects in the forest have also fallen silent.

Inside the Inner City, Li Hang led Xiao Han and others to open the gates of the Mountain Pond reservoir. During the water release, they were astonished to see some fish jumping out of the water, then heavily crashing back onto the surface.

Wave after wave of wind blew, causing unease among people.

Outside the walls of the Big Camphor Tree Base, the sound of cars roaring could be heard.

Leading was an infantry fighting vehicle, followed by dozens of cars, including several tankers.

Li Yu saw them from atop the wall and ordered to open the gates of Weng City.

Xiao Jun was somewhat excited, after over a month, they finally returned to the Big Camphor Tree Base.

This return not only included those like Xiao Jun returning from the Oil City, but also Zhou Tian from the Transfer Station; they’ve returned together.

Zhou Tian and company had stayed at the Transfer Station even longer. Now standing under the walls of the Big Camphor Tree Base, there was a bewildering sense of change.

As the vehicles entered Weng City, Li Yu, Second Uncle, and others descended from the walls.

Squeak—

The vehicles came to a halt, with Xiao Jun and others disembarking.

"Director Li, Defense Director, Internal Affairs Director," Xiao Jun greeted the three.

"Mission accomplished. We’ve finally brought back the oil, and those two trucks are filled with supplies exchanged with Southern Paradise, including medicines, salts, sugars..." Xiao Jun introduced one by one.

The team in the back listened and cooperatively opened the truck compartments, showing them fully loaded with supplies.

Li Yu, looking at the oil, medicines, and salts, nodded with satisfaction.

With a smile, he said, "Great, great. Where’s Zhou Tian? Didn’t he come back with you?"

Xiao Jun quickly shouted toward the convoy behind, "Lao Zhou, Director Li is calling you."

A person emerged from behind the cars; it was Zhou Tian, who had been tanned.

"Director Li."

Li Yu looked at him, smiling, and said, "It’s good to have you back. Alright, leave this to us; travel has been hard on you. Once checked, go take a rest."

With that, Uncle and Li Yuan began processing this batch of supplies.

"Director Li, I have something to report to you."

"Hmm? What is it?"

Xiao Jun took out the phone the base had issued him, opened it and flipped it to a photo, revealing a zombie.

A glowing zombie, clearly exposed to nuclear radiation.

"We saw it along National Highway 319 in the southern part of Xiu County, and there’s just this one. And look at the hands of this zombie."
