Chapter 1911: This Bastard Is Truly Wicked!

He picked it up and immediately said:

“This is Big Camphor Tree Base, I’m Li Yu, go ahead.”

Buzz buzz buzz—

A burst of static.

Right after, Li Tie’s voice came through.

“Big Bro, we showed the photos of Zhu Xiao and the others to those Spies from the Northern Territory Federation. They said the group that ran near the headquarters today are also people from the Northern Territory Federation. Only, they’re not the same faction. The group we caught near Oil City are an expedition team formed by the Sima Family of the Northern Territory Federation, while the ones who came to the headquarters today are people under the Northern Territory Federation’s Governor. Also, this guy Liu Weimeng says he recognized one of them, called Da Dao, and that he seems to be one of Governor Yuan Zhi’s more important people.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Dapao standing next to him.

Dapao had a face full of regret, and he couldn’t help but kick him once.

“People from the Northern Territory Federation?” Li Yu let out a breath.

If they didn’t recognize them, that would mean yet another completely unknown force had appeared.

But if they were from the Northern Territory Federation, then it was nothing new.

However, Li Yu’s brows furrowed again.

“You just said they’re not from the Sima Family, but from Northern Territory Federation Governor Yuan Zhi’s side? That guy, the one you caught, that Liu-something-meng.”

“Liu Weimeng.”

“Right, him. Didn’t he say that Northern Territory Federation’s Governor Yuan Zhi never robs other forces, and advocates ‘win–win cooperation’ with them? And now the bastard sneaks into our base without even saying hello—how the hell is that reasonable?!”

Hearing this, Li Tie had no idea how to answer his big brother for a moment.

When he’d just shown Zhu Xiao’s photo to Liu Weimeng for confirmation, he’d been curious too.

How come that Governor Yuan Zhi they’d been talking about before, what he says and what he does are completely different?

Cooperation?

Since when does “cooperation” mean sneaking into someone’s house, and when they spot you, you open fire right away?

What kind of attitude is that?

What, are you gonna shove the gun in their mouth and then say, “let’s cooperate”?

What a dickhead!

Li Yu’s mood instantly soured; the good impression he’d had of Northern Territory Federation Governor Yuan Zhi plummeted straight to rock bottom.

He’d actually thought the bastard really was one of those great figures who save mankind, glowing all over like some holy light—turns out he’s not much different from that Sima Family.

Li Tie could tell Li Yu wasn’t in the best mood, so he asked, “Big Bro, what do we do next? Do we counterattack?”

Hearing that, Li Yu quickly calmed down.

Getting angry is one thing, but you still have to keep a cool head.

The solar radiation is about to end, and after that we’ll be hit by an extreme cold snow disaster. Charging over there now would basically be suicide.

On one hand, if we send people to scout and they’re discovered, they’ll probably end up as miserable as the people the Northern Territory Federation sent out. And if they’re captured alive, that’s basically us handing over some Big Camphor Tree Base intel on a silver platter.

Li Yu never dares to gamble on human nature.

People put themselves first or heaven and earth destroy them.

He does not believe the people he sends out could absolutely refuse to divulge anything.

Unless they’re top-tier combat elites like Third Uncle and his crew.

But Li Yu just can’t bring himself to send those people out.

On the other hand, the extreme cold snow disaster is coming soon, and anyone who goes might not make it back.

Plus, from what they’ve gotten out of Liu Weimeng and his group, they already know quite a bit about the Northern Territory Federation.

Given Li Yu’s usual style, it’s either wipe them out in one brutal sweep, or sit tight and wait for the right moment.

Honestly, this Northern Territory Federation has left Li Yu very disappointed.

If possible, if Governor Yuan Zhi really was as good as Liu Weimeng said, he’d actually be willing to cooperate for the future of humanity.

But that dickhead went and secretly sent people to break into their house.

Right now Li Yu wants nothing more than to kill him.

Still, killing all the ones he sent this time does at least let him vent some anger.

Plus, neither of these two incidents caused any casualties on their side, so Li Yu decided to let it go for now.

“Big Bro, you still there? Can you hear me now?” Li Tie hadn’t heard Li Yu respond and thought the signal had dropped, so he hurriedly spoke up.

Li Yu pulled his thoughts back, thought for a moment, then said:

“I hear you. Don’t make any rash moves for now. Tell that Ju Tianrui to reinforce the defensive strength of Oil City, and dig some underground air-defense Bunkers if appropriate. Also, in a couple of days, I’ll send a Helicopter over.”

Hearing that, Li Tie asked suspiciously, “Huh? We already have two Helicopters over here in Oil City.”

Li Yu said:

“The oil in Oil City hasn’t been transported for months, and with land transport on a large scale, the current weather’s not suitable. We can only move it by air. Even though once you deduct fuel consumption, the amount of oil you can move in one trip isn’t that big, the speed is good! Also, it’s a good chance to get them familiar with flying the Helicopter—think of it as Helicopter pilot special training.”

Li Tie thought about it and said:

“Big Bro, you think the Northern Territory Federation will send people again? Then we can use this to track their movements?”

Li Yu’s mouth twitched.

Of course that was part of his thinking too.

Now that Li Tie had guessed, he didn’t bother hiding it and said:

“Yeah, something like that. Anyway, flying back and forth has plenty of benefits. The food reserves over in Oil City must be running low, right?”

“Oh yeah, remind that Ju Tianrui that nighttime temperatures are dropping—make sure they do a good job on anti-freeze measures. Do you still have thick quilts over there?”

Hearing that, Li Tie quickly said, “We do. As for anti-freeze quilts, I’m not sure. I’ll go ask him later.”

Li Yu thought for a bit, then said:

“Do you still remember that extreme cold blizzard from the winter before last?”

Li Tie recalled for a while, remembering that winter when if your fingers weren’t in gloves, a few minutes outside and you’d lose all feeling. One hit with a stick and you could literally smash a finger off.

That winter was brutally cold.

Cold right into your bones.

That was when the Zombies’ skin turned white.

“I remember!” Li Tie said with a shiver.

Li Yu went on: “Tell Ju Tianrui to get ready for winter. The temperature keeps dropping at night. The base’s weather expert says it might keep going down after this.”

“Weather expert?” Li Tie was a bit baffled.

He seemed to remember the base didn’t have that kind of specialist.

And the Doomsday climate can’t be explained with normal logic anyway.

“Yeah, a weather expert. Among those high-caliber talents we brought back from the Southwest, there was a meteorologist. That’s not the point. The point is, make sure you’re prepared for extreme cold. Tell Ju Tianrui clearly that you cannot be careless about this. Also, quilts and some gloves—our factory at the base has produced a batch. I’ll have the Helicopter deliver them when the time comes.”

Li Yu laid everything out one by one and said it all in a serious tone.

“Got it.” Li Tie answered, looking at Ju Tianrui sitting beside him.
