Chapter 1859: Big Camphor Tree Base—6,000 People! (2)

Chapter 1859: Chapter 997: Big Camphor Tree Base—6,000 People! (2)

Li Yu thought for a moment and spoke:

“Precisely because of this, we should go over and let Xiao Jun and the others see how Mr. Hu and his people react.”

“Hmm, but what if it’s them? Wouldn’t Xiao Jun and the others be in danger?” Uncle asked.

Li Yu’s eyes turned cold, and he replied:

“In the apocalypse, everything is dangerous. If they dare to make a move on Xiao Jun and Tiezi, I’ll make sure the entire Southern Paradise pays the price!”

When the others heard Li Yu’s words, their hair stood on end.

They could sense that Li Yu wasn’t joking.

Especially Old Qin, who had previously gone to Southeast Asia with Li Yu to wipe out scammers.

He was well aware that Big Camphor Tree had that capability.

Although the base did not have many people, the Zombie Attraction Potion was truly a monster; its effects were extremely powerful when used in the rain. Even in dry conditions, when combined with heavy artillery or helicopter bombs, it could blast a gap in the enemy’s walls.

With such strength, and Li Yu really dared to do such things.

Back then in Southeast Asia, they directly or indirectly killed tens of thousands of scammers, didn’t they?

The crowd was shaken by Li Yu’s stance, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

After a long time…

Li Yu broke the silence.

“Everyone, get some rest early. Our base has grown to this point, and this isn’t the first time we’ve encountered enemies eyeing us.

Moreover, we haven’t figured out the situation yet. Don’t panic, everything will proceed according to the original plan.”

“Okay.”

“Okay.”

“Okay.”

…..

The previously anxious crowd, at this moment, seemed to have found their backbone.

Li Yu is right; if it’s an enemy, then we’ll kill them.

If not, then we’ll live in peace.

Big Camphor Tree Base has never feared anyone.

Even though they don’t even know who the force is now, or how strong it is!

After Li Yu finished speaking, he left the duty room and walked along the wall.

Since he had come to the duty room, he might as well go and see the new cooperative personnel in the first outer city.

But he didn’t plan to go down for a look, because if he did, it could take over an hour to get away from there.

It would be enough to just look from beside the wall.

The night air was a bit cold.

It was just ten degrees a while ago; now, the temperature had dropped to just a few degrees.

After all, it’s winter. Although the sunlight during the day is intense and the temperature is higher, the nights are like a regular winter.

Li Yu pondered silently, who exactly was the child caught near Oil City sent by?

Limited by his previous vision of the world, he had never been to the north.

So he didn’t know much about the situation in the north.

But he remembered these five years of natural disasters, and the current strong solar activity causing geomagnetic storms and radiation.

The geomagnetic storm had passed, but the solar radiation would last for a while longer, and once the radiation subsides, a severe cold snap is expected.

He couldn’t understand why some forces always thought about invading others in such harsh conditions.

Can’t they just develop steadily and honestly?

In a world where the weak are prey to the strong, he doesn’t want to bully the weak, but he must become stronger because he doesn’t want to be powerless when attacked by enemies.

He walked to the wall at the first outer city.

He saw Yang Zhongshi and Yu Wei among a few others, watching over the situation by the greenhouses.

“City Lord.”

“City Lord.”

“City Lord.”

The few of them quickly greeted Li Yu.

Li Yu had a smile on his face and spoke to them:

“Are you cold, brothers?”

Yu Wei pulled open his collar to show the thermal underwear beneath his anorak and said:

“Not cold, the base issued this thermal underwear, it’s super warm.”

“Yeah, very warm.”

Li Yu laughed and said, “Good, good, that’s fine. Did the newcomers at the greenhouse cause any trouble today?”

Yang Zhongshi replied, “No, they’ve all been well-behaved. We’re keeping an eye on things here.”

Li Yu, satisfied, said, “Good job, brothers, you’ve worked hard.”

“It’s nothing, City Lord, you’ve worked hard too.”

“Haha, then I’ll be off, brothers.”

….

All along, Li Yu has referred to the people at the base as brothers, and some as uncles.

His warm demeanor and kind words have left a great impression on the people at the base, making him incredibly popular.

Returning to the villa area.

Li Yu lay quietly in bed, pondering which force sent that child.

He thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out which force it could be.

He then turned his thoughts to the current strength of the base.

With continuous development, the Big Camphor Tree Base’s inner city now housed more than two hundred people, with another five hundred in the outer city, making a total of eight hundred.

There are several hundred extra staff, and including both new and old cooperative personnel, there are four to five thousand people.

The total population is roughly around six thousand.

Big Camphor Tree Base has always focused on quality, not quantity.

Because more people require more food.

So they have always ensured that food can satisfy the current population before considering expanding.

But there’s a hallmark: whether it’s a natural disaster or a zombie outbreak, Big Camphor Tree Base’s population has consistently grown.

Stability! That’s the hallmark of Big Camphor Tree Base.

Compared to the former Western Alliance, where the population reached tens of thousands at its peak, who could have expected the inability to sustain so many people led to riots within the city?

Coupled with a prolonged natural disaster, basic food cultivation was halted, exacerbating the chaos. The zombie tide surged in, and with internal and external troubles, the population plummeted like a cliff.

Li Yu originally thought there wouldn’t be any large forces, given how severe the natural disasters were.

But the child they encountered in Oil City served as a wake-up call.

Although he is a reborn person with the advantage of prophecy, if he’s not careful, he could die too.

He’s always felt a slight sense of superiority.

But this unknown enemy has made him feel a little threatened.

“I need to become even stronger!” he thought to himself.

This time, the solar radiation is particularly strong. He had planned to wait for the natural disasters to pass before starting to utilize the military map to seek out some military supplies.

But this unknown force gave him a sense of crisis.

It seems time to advance the search plans on the military map.

The military map is tantamount to a treasure map in the apocalypse.

However, there’s no need to be overly tense.

Because they possess a nuclear weapon of the apocalypse: the Zombie Attraction Potion.

This Zombie Attraction Potion was a creation of Ma Di and Bai Jie, who spent two years researching it during that project.

With this thing around, there’s less to worry about.

However, conventional weapons feel somewhat lacking.

Especially helicopters, with still only three operational, they sometimes are simply not enough.

With the severely damaged roads on the ground, vehicles move too slowly.

Having more helicopters would make their operations much more convenient.

As he thought about this, Li Yu fell asleep.

…

Outside Southern Paradise.

In the darkness.

A small fire flickered.

“We now have a basic understanding that this Southern Paradise inherits a small part of the original Jinling Automobile Factory’s resources, capable of limited sugar and salt production. The total population inside the city is between two thousand and two and a half thousand.

The leader is called Mr. Hu, and he holds an absolute leadership position. There are no other forces inside….”

Wensheng reported everything he learned to Dadao.

The man who looked strong and robust was called Dadao.

He was the leader of their team.

After hearing the report, Dadao spoke:

“Alright, seems like these days have been fruitful. Record this information well so we can report it back to the Governor when we return.

We’ve been here for two or three days now; it’s time to investigate that Oil City.

Once we’re done in Oil City, we still have to check out the Big Camphor Tree Base behind it.

Furthermore.

Sima Xi, the second son of Sima Liang, has also formed an expedition team to come here. Let’s let them go ahead to scout things out. I bet they’ve headed to Oil City too by now.

Tomorrow, we should return to that Oil City.”

“Okay.”

“Okay.”

“Okay.”

They were only a handful of people, but they were elites of the Northern Territory Federation.

This mission was personally assigned by the Governor, making them very cautious.
