Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1405 You Go to the North (Blast 12000)

Lao Lu had been listening nearby, and the more he listened, the more he felt that this matter was different from the past.

He approached the cannon and asked seriously, "They all followed He Chao before. Is there really no problem with He Chao?"

"He Chao!"

Cannon hesitated for a few seconds and then said:

"My friend and I checked yesterday and found no problems. When we interrogated these people today, no one mentioned He Chao. It seems that they were doing this without telling He Chao."

"He Chao should also be kept in the dark."

"The people that He Chao brought in were basically all from Jiefang City. That group of people has now split into two major factions. One faction is mainly composed of Xu Zhen and others, who have closer ties with He Chao and have not encountered any problems."

"This group consists of Jia Tan, Zhang Shunzi and six others. After they fell out with Xu Zhen's group, they rarely interacted with each other."

Lao Lu nodded, "So that's how it is."

If what Dapao said is true, He Chao most likely didn't know what Zhang Shunzi and the others did, and he probably didn't participate in this matter.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Since you have sent the person here, I will continue the interrogation." Dapao looked at the various tools on the work table and picked out a sharp scalpel.

"Dingtian, help me hang Jia Tan on the cross."

Jia Tan struggled hard, his face full of fear.

He had heard about the brutality of Dapao's interrogation methods. Looking at Zhang Shunzi and others on the cross, he became so nervous that he peed his pants.

Dingtian was a little disgusted and hung him up and tied him to the cross.

Li Tie and Lao Lu next to them looked at each other, both of them feeling a little confused.

"I'm going to find the city lord. Do you want to come with me?" Li Tie asked Lao Lu.

"Let's go. That's what I meant."

The second outer city.

In the ultraviolet lamp factory, He Chao was directing the movement of ultraviolet lamps into a temporary warehouse.

"Manager He, the city lord is outside the factory and asks you to go out for a while." A worker hurried in and stood next to He Chao and said.

"The city lord is looking for me? Sure, I'll be there right away."

He Chao put down the loudspeaker and hurried out of the factory.

He was so busy every day that he had no time to rest. Until now, he had no idea what happened in the First Outer City.

The city lord must have come to him for something important.

As he pondered, he walked to the factory gate and saw the tall figure of the city lord.

He took small and quick steps and came to Li Yu's side.

"City Lord, are you looking for me?"

Li Yu was looking up at a tree not far away. There was a bird on the tree, feeding its chicks in the nest.

"coming."

"He Chao, you've been busy lately, haven't you?"

"It's okay. City Lord, is there anything you need to tell me?" He Chao asked with his hands behind his back and his head slightly lowered.

"The North is in need of someone to manage and lead various affairs. You go and take up the responsibility over there."

"what?"

He Chao was a little surprised when he heard this. It was too sudden and there was no sign at all.

To be honest, he was not very willing to go to a place so far away in the North.

After all, if he wanted to go to the North, he certainly couldn't bring his daughter with him, because he had some understanding of the situation in the North, and it was definitely not as safe as the Big Camphor Tree Base.

If I take my daughter there, she will be able to see him every day.

But who will teach my daughter? I can't take her to a place where conditions are inferior to those at the headquarters just because I miss her.

That's not love, that's selfishness.

"The northern border is now developing an agricultural planting area. Old Yi and his gang are good at fighting, but they are not very good at housekeeping. The minister can't stay there forever. He will have to come back after things stabilize in a few days."

"If I ask you to go to the North, would you be unwilling?"

Li Yu glanced at him indifferently, and his tone did not reveal any change in his emotions.

"No, no, I will do whatever the city lord tells me to do." He Chao explained quickly.

"But, when are we going?"

Li Yu did not answer him immediately and walked forward.

In the second outer city, in addition to greenhouses and some buildings, there are also some fruit trees. A lot of pasture is planted under the fruit trees. These pastures are used to raise cattle and sheep, and no space is wasted.

A few meters away from the fruit trees, there is an open-air stone seat.

Li Yu sat on the chair with his hands behind his head.

He Chao followed Li Yu over here and stood next to Li Yu, not daring to sit down.

"sit."

Li Yu said softly.

"no need."

"sit."

"Thank you, City Lord." When He Chao heard the City Lord say it for the second time, he didn't dare to say anything else and quickly sat down.

He sat upright, with his butt only sitting on one-third of the stone chair.

He kept thinking why the city lord suddenly asked him to go to the north.

Quiet, silent.

A cool summer breeze blew by, and a few leaves fell from a big tree not far away.

The grass rustled and stretched out like green waves.

It makes people feel relaxed and happy after seeing it.

He Chao knew that the city lord had his reasons for asking him to go to the northern border, and now it seemed that he really had to go.

I guess we won’t be able to see the beautiful scenery of this headquarters base in the future.

I'm thinking about all sorts of random things in my mind.

"Let me tell you something."

"Mayor, please tell me." He Chao knew that Li Yu was going to tell him why he did this.

"A few days ago, someone reported that Jia Tan used his position to withhold food from his cooperating personnel in order to collect benefits."

"Zhang Shunzi and Yan Chan complained that the base did not promote them to inner city personnel, which was misleading."

Swish!
When He Chao heard this, his face changed drastically and he stood up immediately.

"City Lord, I don't know about this."

Li Yu glanced at him and pointed to the stone chair, "Sit down."

"Oh, okay. City Lord, I really don't know about this. I don't interact with them at all. After accepting the various affairs in the outer city, I am too busy every day to think about other things."

He sat on the stone chair, but he felt uncomfortable no matter how he sat, especially since the city lord was sitting in the same row next to him, which made him even more nervous.

Li Yu, who was sitting next to him, pulled out a piece of grass and broke it in half.

Said softly:

"You should also know what happened yesterday. We started with the inner city staff and found no problems."

"but."

Li Yu's tone suddenly changed and became a little weird.

"Today, we checked the people in the outer city who were secretly investigating Zhang Shunzi and Jia Tan. Da Pao found guns in Zhang Shunzi's room! They were hiding guns! After Da Pao interrogated them, we found out that they were planning a rebellion and even made a plan."

"Ah???" He Chao stood up again after hearing that.

With a look of panic, he lost his voice in shock and anger:
"How dare they! How dare they do this!? City Lord, I don't know about this, you must believe me."

He Chao knew what kind of person the city lord was. The city lord was always thoughtful and careful in doing things. Since he said so, then it must be true.

Moreover, he had some understanding of Dapao's interrogation. Under such cruel interrogation methods, no one dared to lie.

Li Yu ignored him and continued talking to himself.

"Zhang Shunzi and his men did this because they disagreed with the system of the Dazhangshu base. They were not satisfied with being just an outer city staff and felt that they could not see the hope of becoming an inner city staff, so they planned to overthrow the inner city.

They secretly prepared guns and tentatively tried to persuade people to join them to accumulate strength.

It's just that this plan was uncovered just as it was beginning. Zhang Shunzi originally wanted to win over Wang Cheng, but was reported by Wang Cheng."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he glanced at He Chao.

"Sit down."

He Chao's facial expression was extremely complicated, and the emotions in his heart were extremely complicated.

Guilt, anxiety, grievance, sadness, and more importantly, anger.

After all, Zhang Shunzi and his men were also from the outer city. They followed me before they joined the camphor tree base, but I couldn't find out that they had the intention of rebellion. They were even secretly operating, but I didn't know it at all! Dereliction of duty!

He was worried that the city lord would not trust him, and combined with the fact that the city lord had just asked him to go to the north,

Isn't that an overseas assignment? In his opinion, this was clearly a sign of distrust of him.

The sadness and grievance he felt was because he had no intention of rebelling. On the contrary, he was extremely loyal to Li Yu. What could be worse than someone you are loyal to but he doesn't believe in your pain?

And the anger was caused by what Zhang Shunzi and his men did!

"City Lord, I can't sit down. Can you please let me stand? It will be more comfortable for me if I stand."

He Chao had a mixture of tears and laughter on his face as he pleaded with Li Yu.

Li Yu saw that he was indeed a little restless, that was what happened when he was too excited.

"City Lord, you must believe me. I, He Chao, have no other thoughts. I told you that when you saved me and my daughter, my life was yours."

He Chao continued excitedly: "If I have two minds, I am."

"If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you by digging out my heart."

"Hahahahaha."

Li Yu was suddenly amused by his behavior.

"You are so old and have managed the outer city for such a long time, and you are doing a good job. Why are you saying such childish and ridiculous things? Keep your voice down, or people will hear you and laugh at you."

No matter how experienced a person is or how steady he is in his dealings with others, once his emotions reach an extreme, all his experience and knowledge will disappear and he will speak like a child.

When He Chao heard Li Yu talking with a smile, his nervous mood immediately relaxed a lot.

He also realized how ridiculous what he had just said was and calmed down.

A gentleman will die for his friend. The feeling of being misunderstood and not understood is extremely painful.

"I don't care about other people's opinions. I care about what you, the city lord, think." "Ahem."

Li Yu waved his hands, feeling a little strange after hearing this.

It's so corny.

"I trust you, so I let you go to the North."

“After all, Zhang Shunzi, Jia Tan and others followed you in the past. Now that they have made this kind of mistake, it is easy for others to think of you. In short, it is you who have been dragged down by them.

People will definitely have opinions about you, talk about you, and even target you."

"You are not stable in your position as the outer city supervisor. I know you don't care, but I think it would be more beneficial for you to go to the North."

"Stay out of the spotlight and stay in the North for a year or two. When the limelight has died down, I will let you come back."

Li Yu's words made He Chao feel like he was struck by lightning.

He originally thought that the city lord no longer trusted him, so he sent him to the North, but in fact it was to protect him.

If an ordinary person sat in Li Yu's position, he would definitely be suspicious.

Whenever there is a problem with his subordinates, he would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.

There is a high possibility that I will be completely dragged down and even die.

But at this time, Li Yu was thinking about how to protect himself.

thump!
He Chao knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, feeling extremely guilty.

He shouldn't doubt that the city lord didn't trust him. He could always trust the city lord.

"City Lord, I was just thinking that I shouldn't have trusted you, City Lord. I didn't expect you to think so deeply."

"I am the supervisor of the outer city. It would be fine if I didn't manage them well. City Lord, not only did you not punish me, but you also considered so much for me. I, He Chaojiu, am in great danger."

Li Yu saw him kneeling on the ground and looked towards the factory.

There were already two or three people at the factory gate looking at this place curiously. When Li Yu looked over, they immediately ran into the factory.

"What a shame! Hurry up and get up, He Chao!"

Li Yu was both angry and amused. What the hell was going on?

Miscellaneous.

He Chao wiped his tears and snot, stood up, looked at Li Yu with red eyes and said:

"Thank you, Lord City. I will listen to you."

"Who do you think can take your place?" Li Yu asked.

He Chao is gone, but there must be someone in the outer city to coordinate these matters.

Otherwise it's a mess.

When He Chao heard Li Yu asking him to recommend a candidate, he thought for a while and then said:

"Mr. Zhou is more suitable, Mr. Yi is also OK, Mr. Yi has a softer personality and can balance management.

In addition, there are many combatants in the outer city, and the two of them have high prestige among the combatants, so they should be able to suppress them."

"In addition, Song Min is also suitable. She has management experience and a decisive work style. She is also a veteran of the base and is familiar to everyone."

Li Yu nodded. The candidates recommended by He Chao made some sense.

"Yeah. I understand."

"Let me think about it. You should be ready for the handover. Once you have decided on the candidate, you can hand over the work to that person."

"Okay, City Lord." He Chao rubbed his itchy eyes.

They had almost finished chatting and Li Yu had nothing more to say, so he got up and left.

He Chao followed Li Yu and walked towards the inner city.

Twenty kilometers away from the Dazhangshu Base, Li Gang and the Dazhangshu Base commandos drove an off-road vehicle along National Highway 319.

After a few days of repairs, National Highway 319 has become much smoother.

Although it cannot be compared with the period before the end of the world, there is still a big difference compared to before the repair.

At least you don't have to drive and it's like riding a roller coaster, where your butt is almost broken in two.

Soon, they encountered a road construction team.

Wang Cheng from the road construction team saw Li Gang and his team's convoy, glanced at Lu Liping beside him, and quickly shouted to the road workers: "Stop the road construction."

Then he said to Lu Liping: "Someone has arrived at the base. Let's go over and say hello."

"What's there to say hello to? They won't stop." Lu Liping said with a pout.

I thought to myself: It's really hard to communicate with this royal city. They're so stubborn. I have to find a new target to win over.

Li Gang saw Wang Cheng and Lu Liping in front of him through the car window, and said to the people behind him: "Follow my orders later, and move quickly. He has a gun in his hand."

As an outer city personnel, Lu Liping can be equipped with a submachine gun when he goes out to perform missions.

The entire road construction team stopped and retreated to both sides waiting for Li Gang and his convoy to pass.

Recently, there are more and more vehicles traveling back and forth, so Wang Cheng plans to change it into two roads: odd and even. This way, it will not delay road construction or the normal passage of transport vehicles.

Looking at the two cars slowly approaching, Lu Liping looked at the vehicles with a smile.

He could recognize that this was a combat vehicle in the base, which was different from the vehicles used by the cooperative personnel.

soon.

The vehicle drove to Wangcheng and Lu Liping's side.

Crunch!

The car stopped suddenly and stopped right next to Lu Liping.

Lu Liping looked at Li Gang in the car with a puzzled look on his face.

slam-la-

The car door was suddenly opened, and more than a dozen commandos walked out.

They quickly surrounded Lu Liping and Li Gang got out of the car.

Lu Liping looked confused and nervously gripped the gun hanging on his chest.

Li Gang saw him put his hand on the gunshot wound and said coldly:
"If I were you, I'd take my hands off the gun."

Swish!
More than a dozen fighters moved in unison and aimed at Lu Liping. If Lu Liping made any move, they could shoot him into a sieve.

Seeing this, Wang Cheng nearby quickly moved away.

"Wangcheng..you."

"Captain Li Gang, what do you mean? I didn't do anything, and you let someone point a gun at me. That's not good," said Lu Liping. Under the threat of the gun, he raised his hands high, not daring to touch the gun in his arms.

"Take away his gun!" Li Gang is different from Li Tie. He talks much less and he won't use his mouth to solve problems that can be solved with fists.

As the three combatants approached, Lu Liping swallowed nervously, his brain racing.

Did the shoe fall off and the crime was exposed?
How to do?
run?
How to run? Where can I run to?
Resist? He was sure that if he dared to put his hands down, the fighters on the other side would definitely shoot him.

I can't resist at all!

It’s better to lower your head for now, see what’s going on, and think of a way to escape on the way.

The main reason was that Li Gang and his companions got off the car too suddenly, and he was not prepared at all, which put him in an extremely passive situation.

Two fighters stepped forward and quickly subdued Lu Liping, while another fighter took off his gun, magazine, and even his bulletproof vest.

And tied him up with ropes.

Lu Liping struggled hard, saying, "Don't be like this, we are all family, you have to tell me why? Why are you arresting me?"

"Don't move, be quiet!" The combatants would not tolerate him and tightened the rope.

"Shut his mouth." Li Gang waved his hand impatiently as he saw him complaining.

It's sizzling!

The fighters sealed his mouth with tape and put a black hood on him.

Lu Liping felt extremely frustrated and had no idea what was going on. He couldn't help but think of the possibility that their plan of rebellion had been discovered by someone.
That's impossible, they are hiding so well and they have just started!

The combat personnel escorted him to the car. Before getting in, Li Gang glanced at Wang Cheng and nodded.

Boom boom boom!
The vehicle started and drove towards the large camphor tree base.

After they left, the partners who had just been standing next to them started talking about it.

"Old Zhang, what kind of drama is this? It was someone from our Dazhangshu base who just captured Lu Liping? One's own people against one's own people?"

"Didn't you see it? I think Lu Liping deserves to be punished. He looks down on us partners all day long. He's just like Zhang Shunzi."

“It feels like something big is about to happen.”

"Who cares? What does it have to do with a road builder like me?"

Wang Cheng saw that these partners were chatting, so he shouted to them:

"Stop talking and start repairing the road."

Many partners carried tools and drove rollers back to the center, and the mechanical sounds rang out again.

Wang Cheng felt relieved as he watched the vehicles going away.

These ungrateful people deserve to be punished.

Big camphor tree base.

Li Yu brought He Chao to the interrogation room in the inner city.

The temperature outside was nearly 40 degrees Celsius at noon, but I don’t know if it was because the interrogation room was underground or because too many people died here. After Li Yu entered the interrogation room, he could clearly feel that the temperature inside was much lower than outside.

"Brother, I just looked for you everywhere but couldn't find you. Where did you go?" Li Tie asked when he saw Li Yu coming in.

The next second, he saw He Chao behind Li Yu.

"Manager He, you are here too." Li Tie's tone sounded a little strange.

Hearing Li Tie's words, Dapao, who was holding a scalpel, stopped, wiped the blood off his face, and looked at He Chao.

Lao Lu and other people in the interrogation room also looked at He Chao.

There is something indescribable about the expressions.

He Chao naturally felt this look and pinched the corner of his clothes awkwardly.

Maybe Dapao and the others also looked at him that way yesterday, but He Chao didn't feel it yesterday.

After He Chao learned about the situation today, he could feel it instantly.

No wonder the city lord said that it would be best for me to go to the north.

If I stayed at the big camphor tree base, I would inevitably be implicated in the mistakes made by Jia Tan and the others, and I wouldn't be able to explain myself clearly.

Ugh.
