Chapter 1371 As steady as an old dog
Big camphor tree base, inner city.

Second Uncle returned from the outer city and walked on the main road of the inner city.

The trees on the roadside were crooked, so Ding Jiu led people to clear the fallen leaves and branches on the ground and straighten the trees.

The huge camphor tree in the center shines with its tender green leaves, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of grass.

The sunlight shines through the clouds onto the main road, emitting a series of dazzling lights.

This huge camphor tree is the most important symbol of their Big Camphor Tree Base and also the origin of the name of the Big Camphor Tree Base.

After the storm, many branches and leaves fell from the trees, and even two thick branches broke and fell down.

But this doesn't matter to this huge camphor tree.

"President." Ding Jiu, Wang Cheng and others greeted their second uncle after seeing him.

"Okay." Second Uncle walked hurriedly without stopping.

There are things in his mind, and he can make decisions on many things, but there are some things that he still needs to discuss with Li Yu.

I hurried to the villa area and just walked to the gate of the yard.

Several big wolfhounds at the door stood up, and then lay down after they saw that it was my second uncle.

The courtyard was in a mess, with the flowers and green plants originally planted scattered all over the ground.

Li Yu was cleaning with Li Yuan, Li's mother and others.

After the rainstorm, the entire camphor tree base was a bit messy.

Reinforce the greenhouse, repair the underground drainage canal, remove the mud, sand, branches and other debris in the drainage canal, and repair the broken surveillance camera.
Except for the factory staff, on-duty personnel, planting staff, etc., everyone else is dealing with the aftermath of the thunderstorm disaster.

Li Yu saw his second uncle coming in, put down the shovel in his hand, took off his gloves and said to Li Yuan: "You guys continue to work, I will talk to my second uncle for a while."

"Okay." Li Yuan glanced at his second uncle.

Greeted my second uncle.

"Xiao Yu, Yuanzi" Second Uncle's gaze shifted from the wolfhound and he also saw Li Yu and Li Yuan.

Li Yu brought his second uncle into the villa, but did not stay in the living room. Instead, he went directly to the rooftop terrace.

The dark and humid rainstorm lasted too long, and they didn't want to stay indoors and liked to bask in the sun outside.

"Sit down, second uncle." Li Yu poured a glass of water for his second uncle and then sat on the rattan chair.

He placed his hands on the back of his head and squinted at the sun.

He knew that his second uncle came to see him because he must have something to discuss.

It's too boring to stay indoors, so it's more comfortable to go to the terrace on the roof.

Second Uncle sat on the rattan chair and took a sip of water.

"Xiao Yu, I came to you because I have a few things to discuss with you."

"Second uncle, you say."

The second uncle put down the cup.
"He Bing and Lao Dong have already started producing the UV lamps. We estimate that 600 units will be produced in two days. Oil City estimates that 400 units will be needed. The headquarters base does not include the buffer city or the satellite city. The outer city wall alone will require 300 units."

"I think that Oil City has a large population and is more popular, so it is easier to attract wall-climbing zombies. Its defense is not as good as that of the headquarters base, so I want to satisfy Oil City first, and equip the rest to the outer city wall of the Camphor Tree Base. What do you think?"

Li Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this. What his second uncle said made sense.

Those wall-climbing zombies seem to be fewer in number now, but more powerful.

The mobile switch at the trading market is still a basic version, not as good as the switch at the headquarters base.

If the wall-climbing zombie is fast enough, it can still squeeze through the gap in the moving switch.

Although you can use the oil array, it consumes oil.

"Well, that's fine with me, but I think we should leave some of them out. Although the wall-climbing zombies are powerful, they are afraid of ultraviolet rays."

"By the way, Second Uncle, last time I told you to send someone to the northwest to take a look at this matter, who do you think would be the most suitable person to lead the team?"

Second Uncle adjusted his sitting position and leaned forward.

As for the candidate to lead the team, he thought of several people before looking for Li Yu.

Old Xie, Old Yi, Xiao Jun and Ju Tianrui Dongtai are all in the Oil City, and Old Xie will definitely go to the northern border next.

The thunderstorm has just passed, and Ju Tianrui and the others will definitely have to stay in the oil city for a while.

Apart from them, the only suitable people in the entire camphor tree base are Lao Lu, Lao Bi and Lao Luo.

Of course, if Lao Qin Jackal and the others are willing to lead the team, it would naturally be the most suitable.

But they have always followed the third brother, so they probably wouldn't be willing to lead the team alone.

There are too many uncertainties on the journey to the northwest.

The journey is difficult and dangerous, and an experienced person must be present to lead the team. Otherwise, if they run into trouble, the entire army may be easily wiped out.

The decisions made by a good captain when encountering difficulties are very important and may determine the life and death of a team.

"Xiao Yu, I think Lao Bi or Lao Luo are suitable. They both have experience in leading teams, and they both came from the military, so they have stronger combat effectiveness."

"Besides them, you can ask Lao Qin and Ant, they are also suitable candidates."

"Uncle Qin and the others will definitely not agree."

Li Yu shook his head and said:

"Lao Qin and Uncle Ant like to follow Uncle San. Let them lead the team alone. Although they may agree to it out of Uncle San's face, there is no need to let them do things they don't want to do."

"As for Lao Bi and Lao Luo, I think they are both quite suitable. Besides, it seems that Second Uncle misunderstood my meaning."

"Oh?" The second uncle was a little confused.

Li Yu saw that his second uncle didn't seem to understand what he meant, so he explained:

"We have helicopters. Isn't the longest range 2200 kilometers? Let them fly the helicopter to search around this area first."

The second uncle slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot about this matter. I kept thinking about sending people to search from the ground."

"But."

Uncle frowned again and asked, "The northwest is so far away, what about the fuel problem when returning?"

Li Yu waved his hand and said:

"As for the return, we can refer to the previous method and store fuel in the cabin. At most, a helicopter will not need to carry so many people and so much supplies.

Even four or five people can sit in a helicopter, carrying a small amount of supplies, and the remaining space can be used to store fuel."

Most of the helicopters they seized had a range of less than one thousand kilometers. This method was used before the helicopters were modified to increase their range.

It's very troublesome, but very effective.

"That's fine. But don't we need to send only helicopters and people on the ground?" Second Uncle pondered.

Li Yu had also thought about this question.

Although the view from a helicopter is wide when it is high in the sky, it is not as clear as from the ground, so it is easy to miss something.

Moreover, the maximum speed of a helicopter flying over 300 kilometers is only kilometers per hour, making it impossible to make a round trip on the same day.

It is quite dangerous to dock in an unfamiliar place at night.

"No more sending."

After much thought, Li Yu still felt that it was unnecessary to send ground troops.

There is no shortage of helicopters at the Dazhangshu base now, and it would be a waste to have dozens of helicopters parked at the base.

It would be better to let Lao Luo and his team fly out in a helicopter. Even if they can't find the so-called Northwest Evil Star, they can at least get to know the forces within two thousand kilometers.

It is equivalent to finding out the distribution of various forces in the end times.

The Dazhangshu Base has come this far. Now that it is ready to open up to the outside world, it must not remain complacent. Only by going out can we understand what the current world situation is like.

"Yeah." Uncle nodded. He sighed, yes, they have helicopters.

In fact, the strength of the Dazhangshu base is already very strong.

He was a little worried at first. According to what Li Yu said, sending a helicopter at high altitude would definitely be easily discovered and exposed.

In the past, the Camphor Tree Base had always adopted a conservative attitude, and except for dealing with the enemy, it was never easily exposed to other survivors.

After living in seclusion for four or five years, I got used to it and my mindset didn't change immediately.

I still feel that the big camphor tree base is very weak.

But when the second uncle re-examined the strength of the big camphor tree base at this moment, he found that the big camphor tree base had grown into a powerful force without realizing it.

Once upon a time, when the Dazhangshu base was just established, there were only dozens of people in the entire base.

He couldn't even imagine that Dazhangshu could develop into three places: the North Territory, the Oil City, and the headquarters base, and directly manage thousands of people. If the affiliated forces in the North Territory were included, the number would be nearly 20,000.

A large force that can indirectly influence hundreds of thousands of people.

It has various heavy weapons, including tanks, armored vehicles, heavy artillery, and helicopters.

I suddenly remembered a sentence: Who else!

Li Yu saw his second uncle in a daze and said:
"Second uncle."

"Hmm?" Second Uncle raised his head.

"In addition, the large camphor tree base logo on the helicopters needs to be removed with spray paint, and a radio station needs to be installed on each helicopter to maintain communication."

"Two helicopters form a group. This way, even if one helicopter has an accident or is attacked by an unknown force on the ground, the other helicopter can still contact the headquarters base."

"This way we can send people over to rescue."

The second uncle came back to his senses.

He looked at Li Yu with some amazement.

In the end times, it is not the time when you are weak that is the most dangerous.

It is most dangerous when one's self-confidence swells and one thinks oneself is the most powerful.

Blind confidence will lead to lack of caution. One wrong step will lead to all the wrong steps.

After reviewing the strength of the big camphor tree base just now, he felt a little proud.

I didn't expect Xiaoyu to remain as calm and cautious as ever, and even think of these details that are easily overlooked.

Xiaoyu is really steady!

"Xiao Yu, you've thought it through very carefully." The second uncle said sincerely.

"That's all I can think of for now. Second uncle, you're more thoughtful than me. See if you have anything to add later."

"I" felt a little embarrassed, and felt even more ashamed when I heard Li Yu say that.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll think about it later."

Li Yu nodded, "Second Uncle, do you have anything else to discuss with me?"

"Do we need to continue digging the bunker in the base?"

Li Yu hesitated for a few seconds after hearing this. When the news about the discovery of wall-climbing zombies in Oil City first came out, they talked about building a new bunker and expanding the underground area.

But I didn’t expect that the problem of wall-climbing zombies was solved so quickly.

"Build it, but don't allocate too many people. There are a lot of things to do right now, and they all require people. I think we need to increase the planting area, both in the North and at the headquarters base."

“The focus at this stage is to expand the planting area and build the buffer city.

The trading market is over there in Oil City. Ask Ju Tianrui to maintain and manage it well."

"Okay." Uncle nodded.

"There's nothing else to do. Xiaoyu, I'll go ahead and make the arrangements first."

After saying that, my second uncle stood up and walked downstairs.

Li Yu stood up and saw him off, and walked his second uncle out of the yard.

The courtyard became much cleaner and tidier after being tidied up by Li Yuan and his team.

Li Yu stretched and looked at the sun hanging in the sky.

I sighed and said, it’s so comfortable to have sunshine.

The warm sunshine shines on my body, making me feel warm.

After a morning of sun exposure, much of the water on the ground evaporated.

The lake under the cliff to the right of the big camphor tree base is sparkling under the sunlight.

There was silence.

There are still zombies in the lake, which will take time to clean up later.

There are still thousands of zombies left in the entire buffer city, and they can be dealt with slowly later.

Second Uncle found Lao Luo and Lao Bi and told them about the plan he had discussed with Li Yu to send them to the northwest.

The two were a little confused because the destination was not clearly stated. Were they just going to wander around aimlessly?

In response to their doubts, the second uncle explained:
"The core mission is to find out the various forces. It would be best to go to the northwest to have a look."

"Plan your route map and try not to overlap your routes."

Lao Luo thought for a moment and asked, "Does that mean we should look for other forces and then report to you?"

"Both near and far, right?"

The second uncle reiterated: "Northwest, mainly northwest, the main direction of your search is northwest. If you see other forces on the way, you must register them."

"There are five provinces in the northwest. Start by looking for the places that are easy to get to."

The five northwestern provinces are Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and Xinjiang.

The new location is too far away from the big camphor tree base, and it is very likely that we will not be able to return if we go there.

After hearing about this task, Lao Luo and Lao Bi felt it was a bit tricky.

Flying a helicopter over extremely long distances puts a huge strain on the body.

Moreover, with such a long distance, it is impossible to go back and forth on the same day.

Most importantly, they must stop on the road to refuel the helicopter. The time during refueling is the most vulnerable time.

If someone launches a sneak attack, they can be easily surrounded.

This requires them to find a safer place to dock.

But in these last days, danger is everywhere.

Carrying so much helicopter fuel means that not too many people can sit in the helicopter.

There is no ground support.

This task is very arduous.

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements, President. When should we set off?" Lao Luo hesitated for a few seconds and then agreed.

When Lao Bi saw that Lao Luo agreed, he quickly said:
"President, I will obey your instructions as well."

When Second Uncle saw that they all agreed, a smile appeared on his face.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you two. As for the departure time, let's wait for two days. You can also use these two days to plan the route, maintain the helicopter, and prepare the fuel and supplies for departure."

"Yes." The two nodded.
