Chapter 1908

“It’s not because of you.”

“Just now, news came from the base. Originally, He Ma and the others were supposed to arrive at our side this afternoon, but when they set off from the base this morning, they discovered a group of people. He Ma and the others flew over to patrol, and those people opened fire…..”

“The City Lord sent people to search, and while they found them, Ant thought Xiao Hei was dead and killed all those people.”

“They suspect those were people from the Northern Territory Federation, so the City Lord took photos and had Zhu Xiao bring them over for Liu Weimeng and the others to identify.”

Xiao Jun and Dong Tai were speechless upon hearing this news.

Dong Tai further exclaimed:

“That Northern Territory Federation truly won’t give up. They’re not only coming to our Oil City but also went to the Big Camphor Tree Base. It’s infuriating!”

Ju Tianrui squinted his eyes and said:

“According to the interrogation results, the Sima Family will likely cause trouble. If the people found at headquarters are also from the Northern Territory Federation’s Sima Family, it’s no surprise. But if those are people sent by the Federation’s Governor Yuan Zhi, that’s extremely unfavorable news for us. The people, they’ve all been killed.”

Dapao slapped the table and said:

“So what if we fear them!”

Then, regrettably said: “Why did Ant act so quickly, leaving me none behind? If only two were left alive, we could interrogate them and know everything…..”

Li Tie glanced at him, secretly thinking: Don’t think I don’t know what you’re really up to.

Pretending to interrogate for information is false; you just want to torture them for real.

The always silent Lao Yi suddenly spoke:

“Let’s wait a bit, by dusk Zhu Xiao and He Ma should arrive. Once they arrive, we can figure out exactly who those people are.”

“Hmm. Everyone stay calm. Headquarters said they have a plan; we just need to follow orders.” Li Tie said to everyone.

“Understood.” Everyone nodded.

…

Big Camphor Tree Base.

Since Zhu Xiao and the others left, Li Yu had convened a general meeting at the base.

This kind of meeting hadn’t been held in a long time.

Li Yu, with a grim expression, spoke to everyone:

“This time, it’s my responsibility, Uncle, it’s also your responsibility. The enemies have come right under our noses; if it weren’t for the timely discovery by He Ma and them, we likely wouldn’t have noticed those people. This shows how weak our base’s defenses are. I know we’re pulling back manpower from Satellite City due to solar radiation, but we must not let our guard down!”

Everyone remained silent.

Both Second Uncle and Uncle’s expressions were slightly uncomfortable.

This incident was a lesson.

Luckily, it didn’t lead to any major damage, or else they would regret it too late.

Li Yu glanced at everyone and continued to say:

“I’ve come up with a few solutions. First, Xiao Hang, communicate well with He Bing and the others, get them to upgrade and modify the drones to extend the flight distance. Now they can’t fly beyond five kilometers. Besides that, find ways to enhance the bombing capabilities and shooting abilities.”

Li Hang nodded, “Understood.”

Li Yu then looked at Uncle and He Chao and said:

“Second, Uncle, He Chao, you guys re-sift through the personnel these days, and make sure to utilize Satellite City. We must control the surrounding situation. Also, reinstate the previous daily patrol regulations. The solar radiation is intense, but if enemies can come this far, we need to overcome it.”

“And, today’s incident exposed a problem: our inadequate reaction capability. So, I think Uncle, you need to establish an emergency assault team that can fight at any moment, so that we won’t be caught off guard.”

…

Li Yu turned to Third Uncle and said:

“Third Uncle, the training within the base still needs your supervision. A lot of people lack the awareness, and this requires your education….”
