Chapter 1398: Chapter 821: Amazement (Part 3)

Honest.

But when Li Yu heard this, his smile became even more pronounced.

As he traveled, he thought about how to handle Qingyang.

Or rather, what he could do to maximize his potential.

Qingyang obviously hadn’t developed a sense of dependency on the Big Camphor Tree Base, it seems recruiting him will take time.

For now, verifying the truth of Qingyang’s previous statements is most critical.

Ten minutes later, more than half of the vehicles in Weng City were gone.

Even the vehicles parked outside had been brought in.

Li Yuan and Second Uncle, who were tallying up the supplies, had smiles full of wrinkles.

So much, 200 tons of crude oil.

Three thousand weapons, a million bullets.

Given such a haul, those dozens of tons of grain seemed less important.

Dongfeng and Uncle Wan followed behind Old Lv.

Upon entering, they saw Qingyang Taoist.

"Qingyang?!"

"Dongfeng Layman, Wan Layman!"

Dongfeng’s face was full of surprise and excitement as he approached Qingyang.

"How come you’re here?"

Qingyang Taoist fiddled with his sleeve and said, "It’s a long story."

The two chatted briefly before pausing to look at Li Yu.

After all, Dongfeng had been called over by Li Yu, and it wouldn’t do to neglect him.

Li Yu thought for a moment; indeed, just witnessing the scene between them was enough to conclude Qingyang wasn’t lying—he truly knew Dongfeng.

Li Yu then casually asked, "Dongfeng, how long have you known Qingyang?"

Dongfeng frowned, pondered a bit, then said, "For quite a while, can’t remember the exact date. Later I followed his advice and came here."

Life in Doomsday is full of stimulating events every day, reflecting on events from half a year ago feels like ages ago.

Li Yu nodded, hesitated, and said, "Alright, Dongfeng, you’ve been a Cooperative Personnel for some time, take Qingyang over, you know each other, show him around, let him get familiar with our base." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

For now, since there’s no clear plan for Qingyang, let him be with people he knows.

And Dongfeng can introduce him around.

Dongfeng nodded and said, "Alright."

By then, the sun had set, and the sky was getting darker increasingly fast.

Seeing this, Li Yu decided not to keep them, saying to Dongfeng, "Alright, it’s getting dark, you two head back first."

Dongfeng pulled Qingyang away, Qingyang walked a few steps and suddenly bowed to Li Yu in gratitude.

As they left, their voices could still faintly be heard.

"Dongfeng, did all of you come over?"

".....No, just a few dozen people left. I’ll show you later." Dongfeng’s earlier joy seemed to fade.

.....

After they had left.

Li Yu rubbed his shoulders and then called out to Second Uncle, "Second Uncle, I’m leaving everything here to you."

Second Uncle said okay, then continued to bury his head in tallying.

The haul was really massive, just some rough counting earlier, now to store it in the warehouse they must categorize and place everything correctly, so it can be quickly found when needed.

They might be busy until dawn.

Li Yu yawned and, accompanied by Yutong, walked up to the walls.

Looking around the three outer cities from the perimeter, he saw the reinforced greenhouses.

The original greenhouses were built with relatively thick steel plates and bases poured with concrete.

In a typhoon, the whole framework wouldn’t be an issue, but the PVC panels might be.

The PNC sun panels were screwed to the steel plates, according to Ding Jiu, the main structure of the greenhouse could withstand winds above level 15; that’s quite remarkable.

The average greenhouse can typically withstand level 10 winds or higher.

Some coastal areas may withstand level 12 or 13 winds.

Being inland and in mountainous and hilly terrain, withstanding winds above level 15 is very robust.

And now, after being reinforced, it can withstand at least level 16 winds.

Of course, that’s Ding Jiu’s prediction; after all, he hasn’t seen typhoons over level 10 in inland Gansheng.

Generally, encountering level 7 or 8 winds already feels huge.

Li Yu was pleased seeing the reinforced greenhouses; clearly, Second Uncle and others listened to what he said.

Rushing back early wasn’t just to avoid the typhoon but also to check the base’s preparations.

Being prepared prevents damages.

Li Yu didn’t make a full circuit around the walls, only glanced at the three outer cities before returning to the Inner City.

These days, long-distance drives were extremely tiring.

Li Yu just wanted a good night’s sleep; he’d deal with things tomorrow.

...

In the First Outer City.

The hall was bustling.

This trip to Oil City, Old Bi, Luo, Xiao Jun, Ju Tianrui, and others went out, making the Residential Building much quieter.

And now, with their return, the Residential Building instantly regained its usual liveliness.

Hua Qian looked at Luo and asked, "Where’s Old Bi? Haven’t seen him."

Luo pointed outside, rubbing his damp hair, and said, "He’s still in Oil City, stationed there, will return in a month."

"Oh, really."

For these folks, returning to the Big Camphor Tree Base meant taking a shower first, a hot bath.

This was what they missed most while executing tasks outside.

With the heat, constantly sweating and feeling sticky, unable to bathe at night, over time, led to a rancid smell all over.

Luo wiped his hair, the central air conditioning in the hall blew cool air, making him shiver.

"Refreshing, finally a good night’s sleep," Luo said in his booming voice.

Hua Qian shook his head, stroked his white beard, and said, "Luo, you’re not young anymore, well into your thirties or forties, be careful, might catch a cold."

Luo touched his four-pack abs, chuckling, "I’ll be fine."
