Chapter 1896: Reinforcements Head North, Taoist Goes South_2

“Hmm, alright.”

Second Uncle had been flying back and forth three times since yesterday, and Li Yu thought he might be a bit tired.

Li Yu looked at Second Uncle and said, “Last night, I talked with Third Uncle and we felt that even though the base now has seven helicopters, we don’t know what the Northern Federation might do to us in the future. Oil City is quite far from the base, so both Third Uncle and I believe it’s necessary to have a helicopter stationed there long-term. This way, whether it’s for patrol or anything else, it’ll be much more convenient.”

After hearing this, Second Uncle thought carefully and said, “You have a point, I have no objections.”

Li Yu nodded and said, “Hmm, then let’s send a few pilots to deliver the helicopter there tomorrow, and also have it stay in Oil City for them to use.”

“Alright, have you selected the personnel?” Second Uncle asked.

Li Yu recalled that on the way back, those two people with He Ma were quite good.

So he said, “Yes, He Ma and that Hua Chen.”

“Additionally, to strengthen Oil City, let’s have Zhu Xiao and his team prepare to go there as well.”

“Okay,” Second Uncle replied.

…

Due to Weng City, where cooperative personnel and extra staff often come and go from the Fourth Outer City, Li Yu had Old Luo move the helicopters to the Second Outer City.

The maintenance factory in the Second Outer City is already very large, covering several acres.

Its height is also ten meters tall, so during natural disasters, helicopters are often parked here.

Constant exposure to wind, sun, and rain does cause some damage to the helicopters.

After returning to the base, Li Yu discussed some matters with Second Uncle and then returned to the Inner City.

As soon as he entered the Inner City, he saw Qingyang and Li Yuan walking towards the Outer City together.

“Big Brother.”

“City Lord.”

Li Yu looked at the two and waved his hand in response.

With Qingyang’s help, Grandpa’s health was well-maintained.

And since they often went in and out of the Inner City, Li Yu’s parents became increasingly familiar with Qingyang, especially Mrs. Li, who found Qingyang more and more pleasing.

Li Yu returned to the Inner City Villa District, still feeling a bit damp.

Just after getting off the helicopter, he had Old Bi and the others spray them with a water gun, after all, Li Yu and his team were returning from places teeming with nuclear radiation zombies.

Taking off the radiation protection clothing he’d worn for two days, Li Yu stood under the showerhead to rinse his body.

After taking a bath, he felt much lighter.

He held a water cup and slowly walked to the basement, selecting a movie to watch.

….

Outside, the sunlight was still intensely radiating, and the cooperative personnel and extra staff in the Fourth Outer City, after being briefly surprised by the helicopters in the sky, resumed their regular construction work.

Time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening.

The cooperative personnel, after a day’s work, returned to the First Outer City’s greenhouse.

Dai Jiusheng, seeing his son running towards him, had a soft look in his eyes.

Holding his son’s hand, Dai Jiusheng walked to Luo Gui’s group next door and said to Big Mei, “Sister Mei, thanks for your trouble today looking after my son. This is my small token of appreciation. Please accept it.”

Saying that, he shared half of the food he got today with Big Mei.

Big Mei repeatedly refused, saying, “There’s no need, no need. I was just taking a break, and Little Mang is very cute. I really like him.”

Dai Jiusheng insisted on giving her the food, but Big Mei refused again.

“We’re all old cooperative personnel, we’ve accumulated a bit. But you two just joined, so you should keep it. Also, save your points for exchanging food and don’t spend them yet…” Big Mei instructed Dai Jiusheng on how to save points.

Looking at this woman who wasn’t particularly remarkable in appearance, Dai Jiusheng felt a warm current in his heart.

How long had it been? How long since he had felt someone else’s kindness?

Too long, too long.

He listened attentively, occasionally raising his head to glance at Big Mei.

Sitting in the tent, Luo Gui took a steel basin to fetch some water from the First Outer City residential area, now sitting there drinking water.

The water in the residential area had been filtered by water purifiers, so it could be drunk without boiling.

“Brother Gui, do you think something’s going on between those two?” A member of the group whispered, sneaking a look.

After taking a couple of sips of water, Luo Gui glanced at Dai Jiusheng and Big Mei chatting in the distance.

He said, “This Dai Jiusheng is a good man and capable. I guess Big Mei has taken a liking to him.”

“Then why not just pull him into our team?” suggested the team member.

Luo Gui frowned, thought carefully, and then said, “Our group’s points are about to qualify for becoming extra staff. If we let him join, he’s just joined Big Camphor Tree Base, so his personal points are probably not high. If that’s the case, our team’s points would be pulled down.”

The team member also considered this issue but still said, “Brother Gui, I heard Dai Jiusheng used to be in the service, so he’s probably skilled. If he could join, it would definitely boost our team’s overall strength.”

Luo Gui thought he had a point, but letting Dai Jiusheng join would lower their average points, and for the sake of team unity, he needed to find an appropriate way to gain everyone’s acceptance.
