Chapter 1910: This Jerk Is Really Bad! (2)

Li Yu pointed at Li Yuan with chopsticks, jokingly scolding, “You haven’t even gotten married yet, and you’re already taking sides. If there’s gratitude to be given, let him come thank me.”

Li Yuan, hearing Li Yu say this, was immediately a bit embarrassed and annoyed. Clutching her clothes tightly, she replied to Li Yu, “Big brother, what are you talking about… I’m leaving.”

With that said, she turned around and left the duty room.

Li Yu watched her leave, smiling without saying a word.

Looking at the food in front of him, he ate it all up in a matter of minutes like a whirlwind.

People who have experienced the pain of hunger know how to cherish food very well.

Not a single bit of food was left; he ate it all cleanly.

After finishing the meal, he made himself a pot of tea.

These old tea leaves were stockpiled before Doomsday.

This kind of tea brick isn’t expensive, lasts a long time, and you just cut off a piece each time you make tea. After drinking for years, there’s still a lot in storage.

With a sip of warm tea, his whole body felt more comfortable.

There are many joys in life, but satisfaction is precious.

Having a safe place for shelter, clothes to wear, and enough to eat—this condition is already better than most people in Doomsday.

After waiting in the duty room for a few more minutes, several people walked in from the wall.

Uncle, Old Lv, and Lao Xie entered together, followed by Wang Cheng and Qu Xing.

“Xiao Yu, the Satellite Cities have been redeployed. For now, they’ve been set up in the first, second, and third Satellite Cities. These are relatively close to the base, so we can handle any emergencies more easily,” said Uncle as he walked in to Li Yu.

Li Yu took a sip of tea and replied, “That’s enough. The fourth and fifth Satellite Cities are too far. There’s no need to deploy personnel there under the current natural disaster conditions.”

Uncle nodded and continued, “Additionally, the emergency strike team has been assembled, but I haven’t decided who should be the captain. Who do you think is suitable?”

Li Yu thought for a moment.

This position is relatively special. The role of the Assault Team is to be mobile and responsive in unexpected situations.

It definitely requires someone with extensive combat experience.

In the Outer City, Luo, Xiao Jun, Ju Tianrui, Old Bi, Lao Yi, even the Jackals, are all very suitable.

But right now Xiao Jun and Ju Tianrui are in Oil City and can’t return immediately.

On the other hand, this position is crucial, so it’s best if it’s filled by someone within Li Yu’s close family.

Among the uncles, Second Uncle and Third Uncle already have their tasks.

The Fourth Uncle isn’t good at fighting.

Second Uncle is also busy with factory matters.

So it seems like it has to be someone in his generation.

Currently, those over eighteen are Li Hang, Li Tie, Li Gang, Li Haoran, Li Haoxian, Li Zhengping, Li Yuan, and Liu Jinglue.

From these people, the most suitable are only three.

Li Hang, Li Tie, Li Gang.

The three of them have combat experience and fairly rich experiences.

However, Li Hang is currently working at the repair shop and hasn’t been there long, so it’s not suitable to pull him away.

Li Gang is easygoing, good for fighting but might struggle to manage a team.

With this in mind, Li Tie actually turns out to be the most suitable, given his calm nature and ability to advance or retreat appropriately.

But Li Tie is now in Oil City, and tomorrow he’ll head to Southern Paradise, so he might not be able to come back right away.

So he thought about it and said to Uncle, “Let’s set up a deputy captain first. Let Lao Xie take the role of deputy.”

Lao Xie used to be Old Lv’s deputy in the WJ team.

He has rich experience in team management and combat.

Back in the Inner City, because Uncle became the Defense Director and Old Lv became Uncle’s deputy, Lao Xie was in a somewhat awkward position.

Now with the formation of this Assault Team, it’s perfect to put Lao Xie in.

It would also be maximizing Lao Xie’s abilities.

Uncle nodded, somewhat puzzled, and asked, “Then who will be the captain?”

Li Yu looked around and said, “Let’s have Li Tie take the position. Now he’s still in Oil City, but when he returns, let him be the captain.”

“Xiao Tie, huh… Well, it seems fitting.” Uncle pondered for a moment, feeling it made sense.

After all, Li Tie also came from a military background and has performed exceptionally well in the past three years since Doomsday erupted.

He also has experience leading teams, so as the captain of the Assault Team, he wouldn’t lack capability.

Li Yu looked at Lao Xie, who was standing, and said, “Lao Xie, are you willing to be the deputy captain?”

Lao Xie, with a middle-aged balding head, didn’t have much hair on top, but his demeanor was always the type that didn’t fight for things. He immediately smiled and said, “Sure, very happy to.”

If he were to be made captain, he might hesitate.

But being deputy captain, that’s something he’s familiar with!

As a captain, the pressure is immense. It means being responsible for things, facing any situation or consequence.

He understands himself well; being a deputy captain poses no issues, but being captain is a bit too much pressure for him.

Seeing Lao Xie agree, Li Yu turned to Uncle and said, “How about this? Let Li Tie be the captain when he returns, and for now, let Lao Xie manage it.”

“Alright, I have no issues,” Uncle replied.

At this moment, the military radio’s light flashed.

Li Yu quickly got up and walked over.
