Chapter 1581 - 894: Too Much Loot, Such Trouble_2
"Xiao Yu, the people you’ve had Lao Yi bring back have arrived. Right now, Bai Jie and Kong Shuang are probing their capabilities. I just eavesdropped a bit; these people aren’t impostors—they truly have some skills. But we’ll only know the exact results after Bai Jie and the others finish the assessment.""I think we should temporarily arrange for them to stay outside the base. Tonight, I’ll communicate with Kong Shuang and see what we can assign to these people."
Li Yu remained silent for a moment and then said:
"Hmm... Perhaps they should first try joining Bai Jie and An Ya’s work to see if they can truly be effective. If they can contribute and help us, we’ll give them ’Outer City’ status. If not, they’ll be ’Cooperative Personnel’."
Second Uncle, hearing Li Yu’s response, said:
"Alright, Xiao Yu, how are things on your side?"
Li Yu looked at the people around him and said, "The battle on this side of Kun City is over. And Lao Yi, has he set out?"
Second Uncle replied, "He’s already left—maybe it’s been about ten minutes."
....
At this moment, Lao Yi sneezed, looked at the scenery on the ground, and let out a long sigh.
He thought to himself:
Four more hours before I can return to Kun City, and I’m not sure how things are going for Director Li.
....
Big Camphor Tree Base.
Gradually, Bai Jie finished the assessments for Zhang Qiwu and the others. Throughout the assessment, Bai Jie and the team discovered these people were not impostors.
He Chao contacted Second Uncle, and he quickly came down.
Then, addressing Zhang Qiwu and the others, Second Uncle said, "We need to have internal discussions. For today, just rest outside, and He Chao will arrange something for you."
He Chao nodded and said, "Alright, everyone, follow me out shortly."
After returning their luggage, He Chao led them out of Weng City.
Watching their retreating figures, Second Uncle asked Ma Di, Bai Jie, and the others, "So, what do you think?"
Kong Shuang and Ma Di glanced at Bai Jie; although both had superior expertise, Bai Jie was the leader of the Research Room.
Bai Jie spoke, "Director, from initial contact, these people seem to be genuinely skilled. I think we should keep them."
Second Uncle looked at An Ya, Old Dong, and others, who all expressed similar opinions.
Having received their definitive responses, Second Uncle said, "Alright, let them help you starting tomorrow. Prepare for it—this will be the assessment phase. If they really prove helpful, I’ll make it official."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They were aware of Big Camphor Tree Base’s policy: as long as you have the ability and prove your worth through the assessment, the base won’t hold back.
Afterward, they dispersed.
Second Uncle, with a contemplative look, returned to the duty room.
After pondering for a while, he suddenly smiled.
......
Kun City.
Ju Tianrui and his team finished cleaning the battlefield, occasionally encountering some surviving con artists, binding them for interrogation.
The interrogation methods were crude; those who didn’t provide useful information were killed outright.
This time, they captured quite a few con artists, keeping them alive wasn’t useful.
Ju Tianrui reported the results to Li Yu.
"In total, we’ve seized 435 usable firearms, and several rounds of ammunition.
trucks of supplies, not including the scattered ones on the ground.
..."
Li Yu, hearing these results, felt a bit troubled. Although the supplies were somewhat useful, taking them was quite a hassle.
They were less than a hundred people, already having more than twenty vehicles.
Next, they had to undertake a long journey to the Lao Country area; these supplies would seriously affect their mobility.
Moreover, the supplies were a hodgepodge of various items.
Li Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Stick to the original plan. Let’s find a place to camp tonight, take these supplies, and deal with them tomorrow."
"Alright, Director Li, I’ll head down now." After finishing his report, Ju Tianrui left the RV directly.
At this moment, Third Uncle and the others returned on the helicopter.
They had been looking for a suitable camp spot for the night.
The southern outskirts of Kun City could also work, but too many con artists died there, creating a heavy stench of blood that might attract zombies at night—too dangerous.
Moreover, the locations chosen by these three forces were good, but had now been blown up by Li Yu’s group; the surrounding walls had collapsed, making them unsuitable as campsites.
Therefore, they needed to find a new suitable place.
The southern part of Kun City is quite close to Lao Country and Yue Country.
Continuing to drive south,
this also makes finding the Lao Country and Yue Country nests easier the next day.
"Xiao Yu." Once Third Uncle got off the helicopter, he immediately found Li Yu.
"How did it go, Third Uncle?"
"Not great, when we were flying south, we saw many Southeast Asians on the ground, increasingly more as we neared the south.
If we decide not to rest and head straight south, we might run into them."
Li Yu was silent; everyone had been fighting for a day and only stopped now at four in the afternoon.
If they continued south, they’d surely face numerous battles.
Besides, during the battle in Kun City, some con artists might have escaped, possibly informing their nests.
Li Yu’s eyes grew cold, and he said, "Then let’s continue south. With such a big ruckus now, why stop?"
Upon hearing this, Third Uncle quickly said, "I haven’t finished. Southeast Asians are fewer to the north of Kun City. We might consider heading north; in northern Kun City, there are several suitable spots to check out.
It’s already four in the afternoon; if we keep heading south, we’ll encounter many Southeast Asians. Although dealing with them isn’t difficult, it’ll delay finding a camp spot, and by night, we’ll be in trouble.
We’ve got so many people; without a secure campsite at night, we’ll face a zombie siege and be in real trouble."
Li Yu, hearing Third Uncle’s concerns, cooled down.
"Alright, let’s head to northern Kun City for an overnight rest and go south tomorrow," Li Yu said decisively.
Third Uncle, hearing this, sighed in relief.
Soon, Li Yu ordered Dapao to quickly deal with the prisoners.
Capturing dozens of them was too cumbersome.
They killed most, leaving only those with high cooperation levels.
With the prisoners dealt with, they drove north with Third Uncle in the helicopter leading the way.
There were numerous vehicles—dozens in their convoy heading north.
Along the way, they sporadically encountered some not-so-lucky Southeast Asian con artists who were violently dealt with by Li Yu’s team.
They also came across a few vehicles carrying Southeast Asian con artists to Kun City to transport supplies.
The rapid-fire cannon of the infantry fighting vehicle cleared the way unobstructed.
They no longer bothered with concealment; after all, the large conflict in Kun City made too much noise today.
It’s inevitable that information would get out.
Given the situation, Li Yu didn’t need to hide anything anymore.
We’re coming to kill you, and you should prepare for it.
If you run into us, you’re dead.
If not, you’re lucky.
Heading north might mean encountering fewer Southeast Asian con artists, but before reaching the excellent camp spot Third Uncle mentioned, they ran into a total of three groups.
Yet, what satisfied Li Yu was that by 5:40 PM, they successfully reached the location Third Uncle spoke of.
The place was large enough to accommodate all their people and vehicles, and the surrounding walls were high.
It’s a high-end private resort on a flattened mountaintop.
The area offers wide views perfect for guarding against attacks by Southeast Asian con artists.
Besides, two kilometers of road at the mountain’s base lead to a highway, making transport convenient.
Upon arrival, Ju Tianrui immediately began inspections, while Luo organized security.
Third Uncle had already arrived at the mountaintop and saw Li Yu get off.
He said, "Don’t worry, on my way here, I’ve already scouted from the air; around here, no trace of people was found."
Li Yu nodded and said, "Alright. Lao Yi should be arriving soon, not sure how things are going on his end."
