Chapter 1858: 6,000 People at the Big Camphor Tree Base

Chapter 1858: Chapter 997: 6,000 People at the Big Camphor Tree Base

It’s already night.

Li Yu returned to the villa to rest.

Today, many people came from the four satellite cities. Except for the Fourth Satellite City, which is relatively far away, people from the other three satellite cities have already arrived at the Big Camphor Tree Base.

Tomorrow, they will join the construction project of the Fourth Outer City, and by then, the construction speed of the Fourth Outer City can be doubled.

Li Yu slowly brushed his teeth and walked to the window to close it.

During the day, to block the intense solar radiation outside, he generally kept the window closed and the curtains drawn.

At night, he would open the window to get some air.

However, since he was getting ready to sleep, he naturally had to close the window again.

Squeak—

After closing the window, he continued brushing his teeth.

He went to the washbasin, spit out the toothpaste foam, and rinsed with water.

At this moment, the walkie-talkie on the table suddenly rang.

“Xiao Yu, there’s a major discovery at Oil City. The child brought back from Oil City today was sent by a powerful force, and according to what the child said, that force is very strong. We might be under surveillance!”

It was Uncle’s voice.

Li Yu rinsed his mouth, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said, “Got it, I’m on my way.”

After speaking, he put on a coat, slung a gun over his shoulder, and walked towards the duty room.

Coming out of the villa, he saw Second Uncle also coming out from another villa.

“Second Uncle.”

Seeing Li Yu, Second Uncle said, “Who do you think it could be? Why would they send a child to investigate?”

As they talked, they walked towards the duty room.

Li Yu thought for a moment and said:

“I’m not sure who it is, but it probably isn’t a force from the Southern Paradise area. Plus, a few of those who defected a while ago escaped, so it might be their doing.”

“Sigh… It’s really difficult to have any peace.” Second Uncle remarked as he adjusted his coat.

Li Yu nodded and quickened his pace with Second Uncle towards the duty room.

Speculating further now would be meaningless; only by asking the people from Oil City could they be sure.

Before long.

The two reached the duty room.

Inside the duty room, along with Uncle, there were Old Lv, Old Qin, and Li Zhengping.

Their expressions were somewhat serious as they sat around the military radio.

Li Yu walked over and picked up another headset, listening to Uncle communicate with Ju Tianrui.

“Haven’t you found out where he came from?” Uncle asked.

Ju Tianrui replied:

“Not yet; from the interrogation, we only know these two things: 1. He wasn’t here by accident, rather he was sent in, but the purpose is still unknown.

2. The force that sent him is very powerful, according to him.”

Li Yu lifted the headset a bit, moved closer to the microphone, and said:

“This is Li Yu. When you found him, did you see anyone else?”

Upon hearing Li Yu’s voice, Ju Tianrui quickly responded:

“City Lord, it’s like this. Yesterday, we happened to be trading with the Southern Paradise, and after the trade, Dong Tai discovered the child on the wall, then used a drone to track him, but the distance was too far, and the child escaped into the dense forest.

Today, the child came over on his own and knelt on the ground as if seeking our help, and then fainted. We tied him up and brought him in for questioning.

He concocted a story and background, attempting to gain our sympathy, which we saw through.

Zuo Ruxue used a gentle approach and managed to extract some information from him, but the child is very clever, and now no matter how we interrogate him, he won’t say anything more.

She believes the child might have been threatened to come here, which indicates that anyone capable of using family to coerce a child is likely not good news.

…..

Ju Tianrui said a lot, and Li Yu listened quietly until he finished.

After pondering for a long while.

Li Yu spoke:

“Alright, continue the questioning, and see if you can extract more information from him. Also, increase the alert, and if anything happens, inform the Big Camphor Tree Base immediately.”

“Additionally, I’ll send people over tomorrow to help you. There’s no need to worry too much; our Big Camphor Tree Base fears no one!”

Li Yu’s words were confident and uplifting.

Especially for Ju Tianrui and the others, nearly a thousand kilometers away from the Big Camphor Tree Base, who have no idea who the enemy is or whether the enemy is indeed as powerful as the child claims.

After hearing Li Yu’s words, Ju Tianrui felt reassured.

He replied, “Understood, we’ll be waiting for them tomorrow.”

“Alright.”

Li Yu put the headset down.

Ended the communication.

Looking at everyone in the duty room, he asked, “What do you all think about this?”

Old Lv, a bit worried, said, “Could it be people from Southern Paradise trying to probe us?”

“Highly unlikely,” Old Qin said. “Apparently, Southern Paradise had a traitor recently who tried to sabotage our cooperation with them. In the end, they were blasted to pieces by heavy artillery.”

“They know our strength, and we are aware of theirs, so I don’t think they’d have any designs against us.”

Second Uncle nodded and said:

“Indeed, but if it’s not them, then who? Also, it’s just speculation right now. I’m more concerned about whether there will be any risks in sending Xiao Jun and the others over at this time.”
