Eye of the Wasteland

Chapter 14 Recruitment of Homeless Stronghold
At noon, the woman drove a jeep to the waiting Wu Yunhao and his grandfather and grandson.

After lowering the window of the driver's seat, the woman signaled to Wu Yunhao and his grandpa and grandson, "Get in the car."

"I just want to go back to the stronghold to get some things, so I'll send you there first by the way."

After Wu Yunhao heard the words, he got into the jeep with his grandpa and grandson who were very grateful.

After Wu Yunhao and his grandpa and grandson sat down, the woman slowly drove the jeep along the road.

Glancing at the three people in the back seat through the rearview mirror, the woman began to introduce herself: "My name is Chen Xiaojia."

At the same time, she introduced the thin man in the passenger seat: "This is the scout in our team, Ding Shiyang."

Hearing Chen Xiaojia's words, the old man hurriedly introduced himself with a smile: "My name is Qi Weimin, and this is my grandson Qi Beibei."

Wu Yunhao also introduced himself: "Wu Yunhao."

Taking another look at Wu Yunhao in the rearview mirror, Chen Xiaojia asked, "Wu Yunhao, what did you do before?"

"Just now I saw you fight with the captain of the town guard. You are very skilled. Which homeless team were you in before?"

Wu Yunhao replied with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, but I have never joined the homeless team. It turns out that I am just an ordinary homeless person who picks up casual jobs on weekdays."

"I offended some people in Jingdong City, so I planned to go to Fuyuan City to make a living. I didn't expect to meet a mutant on the way, and I was lucky enough to save my life."

Qi Weimin echoed with a smile: "Just like little brother Wu Yunhao, my grandson and I are also ordinary homeless people who pick up casual jobs."

As he said that, Qi Weimin turned to Qi Beibei who was at the side and said, "Xiao Bei, why don't you know how to be polite at all, call someone quickly."

Qi Beibei heard Qi Weimin's words, and said to Chen Xiaojia, Ding Shiyang and Wu Yunhao: "Hello sister, hello two brothers."

Perhaps because she was satisfied with the title of sister, Chen Xiaojia smiled and nodded at Qi Beibei.

Then, she continued to ask Wu Yunhao, Qi Weimin, and Qi Beibei's grandfather and grandson, "Although I decided to let you join, in the initial stage of the construction of the stronghold, everyone must contribute..."

Before Chen Xiaojia could finish speaking, Qi Weimin took a step forward with a smile and said, "I know this. Although I am old, I am more or less a mason, carpenter or electrician."

As he said that, Qi Weimin patted Qi Beibei's shoulder beside him: "My grandson follows me, and there are no major problems with ordinary masonry and carpentry skills."

Wu Yunhao said: "I don't have any skills. After the injury is healed, I can do any job. Anyway, I will follow the arrangement."

Although the injuries on his body healed very quickly, Wu Yunhao felt that he still needed to find a reliable homeless stronghold to settle down.

At the same time, he had to work as hard as possible in this homeless stronghold, so that he could save a sum of money to go to Fuyuan City to have a look at his right eye, and to check if he was infected with mutated human blood and suffered from radiation sickness.

Then, the unfamiliar people in the carriage fell into silence, but they couldn't think of anything to continue chatting with, so they just kept silent.

After the jeep continued to drive along the road for a while, Wu Yunhao saw through the window that he was going to the dilapidated village at the end of the wasteland.

Simple wooden fences were erected around the dilapidated village, and in front of the abandoned dilapidated houses, there were many figures carrying building materials in and out.

After the jeep passed the sentry post on the road at the entrance of the village, it soon stopped at the square opened by the village.

Following Chen Xiaojia and Ding Shiyang out of the car, Wu Yunhao, Qi Weimin and Qi Beibei beside him looked at the village being repaired by the homeless.

Judging from the damage to the buildings in the village, the village should have been abandoned not long after the Doomsday War.

Most of the buildings have only brick walls and dilapidated roofs, but with the concerted efforts of many homeless people, these dilapidated houses are being repaired one after another.

Leading Wu Yunhao, Qi Weimin, and Qi Beibei's grandfather and grandson to a two-story building that was being repaired, Chen Xiaojia motioned for a middle-aged man who was delivering a truckload of cement to come over.

When the middle-aged man saw Chen Xiaojia, he smiled honestly and nodded.

A homeless man was called to hand over the cart of cement to the other party, and the middle-aged man quickly came to Chen Xiaojia: "Captain Chen, what are your orders?"

Raising his finger to Wu Yunhao, Qi Weimin, and Qi Beibei behind him, Chen Xiaojia ordered, "These are the three newcomers to our base, and I will leave them to you."

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded when he heard the words, "Don't worry, Captain Chen, you can trust these three people to me."

Nodding to the man, Chen Xiaojia and Ding Shiyang turned around and left.

Watching Chen Xiaojia and Ding Shiyang go away, the middle-aged man turned his head and said to Wu Yunhao, Qi Weimin, and Qi Beibei who were in front of him, "Well, my name is Chang Lin. You can call me Lao Chang."

After Wu Yunhao, Qi Weimin, and Qi Beifang introduced themselves, the slightly honest middle-aged man pointed to the two-story building behind him and said, "We are now in charge of the maintenance of this two-story building."

Speaking of this, Chang Lin rubbed his hands with a smile: "Captain Chen said that when the stronghold develops in the later stage, we can make cement bricks and build houses by ourselves."

It was just a sentence that Chang Lin looked forward to, but it didn't resonate with Wu Yunhao, Qi Weimin, and Qi Beifang.

Seeing that the three of them just looked at him blankly, Chang Lin smiled a little embarrassedly: "It happens that we are short of manpower now, and the progress of the work will be faster if you have three more of you."

"Young man, if you are injured, help deliver the bricks needed on the second floor. Don't worry, don't open the wound."

"Master, it shouldn't be a problem for you to help build the wall, right?"

"Child, can you help your grandpa?"

After arranging tasks for the three of them, Chang Lin smiled and led Qi Weimin and Qi Beibei's grandfather and grandson towards the second floor.

Watching the three of them walk up the stairs, Wu Yunhao's mouth curled up into a smile.

The people here seem to be friendlier than those in other homeless towns.

Perhaps, settling down here is also a chance to start over?

Next, Wu Yunhao took out seven or eight bricks from the small cart on the first floor and built them together, then walked towards the second floor with his arms in his arms.

Forget it... Before thinking about so many things, let's finish the work first.

I hope this homeless stronghold can provide more food for the workers.
