Chapter 1548: Chapter 882: Two Months’ Worth of Provisions
After leaving Weng City, Li Yu went straight up the wall.
Just as he got up the wall, he saw Second Uncle coming out of the duty room.
"Second Uncle."
Second Uncle nodded upon seeing Li Yu, with an expression that was not surprised, as he already knew Li Yu would return.
So, he opened the door to the duty room and let Li Yu come in.
The two of them sat down on chairs, and Song Min and Li Haoxian, who were in the duty room, saw that they had something to discuss, so they got up and left the room.
"Xiao Yu, your Third Uncle has already told me the situation. My main concern is that there might be some movement over at Southern Paradise. I’m thinking, should we send more personnel to Oil City?" Second Uncle sat down and poured a glass of water for Li Yu before speaking.
Li Yu shook his head and said, "I don’t think it’s necessary. I believe the arrangements over at Xiao Jun’s side are sufficient. Besides, Old Bi and the others have just returned from Oil City, and the forces can’t be spread any thinner. If there’s a situation at Oil City, we have helicopters, and it takes just over four hours to fly directly from Gui Province."
Second Uncle understood that Li Yu had already made up his mind.
There was no point in saying more, so he dropped the matter.
Then Second Uncle started discussing other affairs of the base with Li Yu, allowing Li Yu to understand and make a final decision.
After the communication, Li Yu hurried back to the Inner City.
He needed to get hold of the fortified Zombie Attraction Potion. Currently, the entire base only had four bottles of this potion, and it took two weeks to produce.
After rushing into the Inner City.
He took Li Yuan and Yutong into the underground warehouse, and then into the armory, to the innermost room.
This room’s key was only possessed by Li Yu. He took the key from his person and opened the door.
He then retrieved a safe from a secure cabinet.
Li Yu opened the safe with a code, seeing three intact bottles of the fortified Zombie Attraction Potion inside.
He hesitated about whether to take them all, but ultimately decided to take them all. If there were any left, he could bring them back.
Carrying the safe, Li Yu walked out of the door, with Yutong and Li Yuan watching him at the entrance.
"Big brother, are you leaving immediately? Why not stay at the base for the night and go tomorrow?" Li Yuan asked upon seeing Li Yu holding the safe.
Yutong didn’t speak, but her eyes were filled with concern.
Li Yu turned and closed the door, then smiled at the two of them and said:
"Time is tight; I must hurry back. Third Uncle is shorthanded, and I need to return to help quickly."
Yutong’s eyes showed a bit of disappointment, but she only expressed her emotions through her eyes.
Li Yu gently hugged Yutong, then glanced at Li Yuan, and said to them: "I’m going now."
"Hey, wait a moment." Yutong handed Li Yu a carryable thermal box.
"I thought you might leave immediately, so Auntie told me to give this to you."
Li Yu opened the thermal box and saw it was filled with his favorite foods, clearly made by his mother.
He smiled and nodded, then left the warehouse.
After returning to the Outer City, Li Yu ran to the Third Outer City, to where Zhou Ran and Lao Zhou were modifying the missile vehicles, urging them to finish quickly.
Then he found the busy Ju Tianrui to understand the preparation status.
"Director Li, we expect to depart by tomorrow morning. As planned, there will be a total of six infantry combat vehicles, two missile vehicles, and three tanker trucks, plus four armored transport vehicles for ammunition and food." Ju Tianrui reported to Li Yu.
For mobility reasons, they did not bring tanks.
However, the infantry fighting vehicles also have cannons, equipped with high-speed machine cannons that can effectively shoot over several kilometers, fully meeting their needs.
The missile vehicles are equipped with heavy artillery that can achieve long-range strikes, with shelling ranges reaching tens of kilometers.
Armored transport vehicles can not only transport ammunition and food but also troops.
These vehicles all share a common feature: they are tough and durable!
Ordinary machine-gun fire can’t cause much damage to these vehicles.
Li Yu saw people busily loading supplies and munitions onto the vehicles and reminded: "Ensure enough food to last everyone for two months. Make sure not to overlook this."
Ju Tianrui nodded, "I’ve calculated everything. I reported to the Captain before you returned."
"Good, also add a communication vehicle. Our base should have military radios; bring them tomorrow when you come."
"Alright."
Just as Ju Tianrui was speaking, Li Tie and others came over carrying tactical backpacks, looking ready.
Seeing that they were prepared, Li Yu said to Ju Tianrui: "Where’s Dong Tai, have him bring a few people along with us. The helicopter should have enough space to carry some people."
Ju Tianrui nodded and shouted into the distance, "Dong Tai..."
....
Li Yu returned to Weng City and saw that Jackal was not around. After asking Lao Yi, who was refueling the helicopter, he found out that Jackal had gone to see his son Xiao Yong.
So he used the walkie-talkie to contact Jackal: "Uncle Jackal, we’re ready to set off."
Jackal, who was in the First Outer City, heard Li Yu’s voice and patted Xiao Yong’s head, saying: "Xiao Yong, listen to your sister Yutong and Li Yuan while you’re at the base. I’m going on a mission."
