Chapter 167 Let’s Go Now
This heavy rain caused heavy losses to many groups struggling in the last days.
For the Salvation Army, it is even greater consumption of strength.
After the heavy rain, Li Yu wanted to set out as soon as possible to solve the hidden danger of the Salvation Army.
As far as he is concerned, since he has become an enemy, there is no retreat. He must find a way to deal with the enemy. This was the lesson he learned in the years before his rebirth.
On the third day after the heavy rain, Li Yu was ready to set off.
In the past few days, Li Yu also discussed with his second uncle and others. For this outing, there was only one goal to be achieved, which was to eliminate the Salvation Army.
The number of people in the base has reached nearly 70 people. Some plans made internally also require people to complete, including improving the walls.
In fact, Li Yu has also thought about expanding the base, but manpower is also a relatively big problem. At this stage, let's repair the fence first.
This time, Li Yu still brought Li Hang, Li Tie, Li Gang, Da Pao, Yang Tianlong, Lai Dongsheng, and Xiao Slutty, but also added some new people, including worker Ding Jiu, worker Wang Cheng, worker Xie Weishan, and Song Min , and two of her former employees, Xiaohan.
A group of 15 people, divided into three vehicles, set off early one morning.
There are still some people staying at the base, including the second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, uncle and others. Even though Li Yu took away 15 people, there were still more than 50 people left in the base.
In this way, Li Yu felt more at ease when he went to Nanshi.
According to Li Yu's plan, if there were no accidents on the way out this time, it would probably only take more than an hour to reach the location of the Salvation Army.
Quick victory.
Facing the morning light, three cars roared past on the national highway.
In June, the temperature was extremely hot. It was still in the morning, and the temperature had already exceeded 35 degrees. Everyone in the car was wearing some protective equipment. Under these protective equipment, they were vaguely sweating. .
Li Yu immediately turned on the air conditioner in the car. It was unwise to open the windows. He might encounter some occasional zombies along the way. If they came up, it would be troublesome.
So, it's better to be cautious.
in the car
"Brother, it's so damn hot here." Li Hang complained from the back seat, sweat dripping from his forehead.
Li Yu lowered the air conditioner in the car a few degrees and adjusted the position of the air outlet.
"This is just the beginning, and it may get hotter in the future." Li Yu replied calmly.
"No way." Li Hang wailed for a while.
In the car, as the air conditioner was turned on, waves of cool wind blew out, giving everyone some relief from their stuffy bodies.
Li Yu looked from inside the car to the outside. The scenery outside the car flashed by quickly like a marquee.
Everything he saw was green, but Li Yu knew clearly that the greenery would not last long.
In the subsequent high temperature and drought conditions, many plants will die. The reason why Li Yu chose to build the base there was because there was a pond between the two mountains.
Originally, the water level of the mountain pond was at one-third to one-half of the level all year round. Until the heavy rain a few days ago, the pond was filled up, with a total area of almost 10 acres.
This mountain pond was originally built relatively deep, with the deepest point being more than 20 meters, and its water storage capacity is extraordinary.
This water will not only be used for irrigation of late rice cultivation in the future, but also water from these mountain ponds will be used if the groundwater is used up in the future.
There are lush trees on both sides of the road. The heavy rains some time ago have made these plants grow a lot. No one has repaired the street trees on the roadside. The hanging branches and leaves occasionally scratch cars.
Some branches will scratch the car paint, but now no one cares about the appearance of the car. What is more important is whether the car is crash-resistant and powerful.
Along the way, Li Yu took the iPad navigation map and downloaded the national map offline before the end of the world. Every road can be clearly seen from the map.
You can also see the location of the Salvation Army factory on the map.
It is precisely because of this that Li Yu solved Brother Mao and others before, and when he learned the location of their headquarters, he killed them without hesitation.
They can find the location by themselves!
The little sloppy guy in the car has been learning how to use a gun for quite some time. As Cannon said, she is extremely talented. Now with a gun, the accuracy is no worse than that of Li Hang.
You know, last year, when the apocalypse first broke out, Li Hang had already used several of the guns he got.
The rest, Song Min and others, also conducted emergency training at the base these days. On the other hand, Ding Jiu and others, after following Li Yu out several times, have obtained the authority to use firearms, and are now familiar with using firearms.
The vehicle galloped all the way, heading towards Nanshi.
Li Yu and the others have basically never been in this direction since the end of the world. But looking at the map, the direction can be basically determined.
In addition, Uncle Lai followed his father and delivered goods everywhere, so he was familiar with several surrounding counties and cities.
Li Yu was thinking about something, suddenly. The vehicle at the front suddenly stopped.
They got a total of three vehicles, one explosion-proof vehicle and two off-road vehicles.
They were divided into three teams, and each had a walkie-talkie to contact them at any time.
Li Yu, Li Hang, Xiao Sloppy, Cannon, and Yang Tianlong. as a group.
Li Tie, Lai Dongsheng, Ding Jiu and others form a group.
Li Gang, Song Min and others are in a group.
Li Tie and Li Gang, cousins, have always been valued by Li Yu after they returned from the army. These two did not live up to Li Yu's expectations, and they were able to shoulder the burden at many critical times.
Li Yu's car was at the back, and Li Tie and Uncle Lai's car stopped suddenly at the front, and Li Yu was about to ask.
I heard Li Tie's voice from the walkie-talkie: "Brother, there are many big trees down ahead, about 30 meters away, let's stop first. What should we do?"
Hearing this, Li Yu looked left and right at both sides of the national highway. Nothing unusual was found.
So Li Hang was asked to pass the car sideways, side by side with Li Tie's car.
Through the windshield, Li Yu could clearly see that there were several tall street trees in front, which seemed to have been ravaged by the strong wind a few days ago, and there was a tree among them.
The top of the tree had been struck by lightning, and the bottom was a black and charred piece, which bent down in the middle and fell on the national road.
After looking at the trees, it didn't look like they were damaged by humans, so Li Yu got out of the car, and asked Lai Dongsheng and Da Pao to come down as well.
The three people stepped forward to check, while the others observed on the spot.
Li Yu walked to the side of the fallen trees and was relieved to see that these trees were clearly blown down by the wind.
It's just that these big trees are nearly 60 centimeters in diameter, and it is definitely impossible to move them by one person.
So Yang Tianlong and those workers were also asked to come down, and Li Tie and Li Hang were specially asked to observe the surrounding situation on both sides of the national highway. If there were any changes, everyone would have time to react.
With the efforts of everyone, after a while, these big trees were finally moved to the side of the national road.
In such a short period of time, moving away from a few big trees made everyone sweat.
Everyone walked to the car, Cannon wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Li Yu: "Brother Yu, it's only 8 o'clock in this terrible weather, why is the sun so big, it's too hot."
Li Yu raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the sun seemed bigger than usual.
"Let's go quickly. Let's get there as soon as possible." Li Yu said.
