Oil City.

Dongtai was a little tired, and he really didn't know what to do when faced with this inexperienced child.

Both the soft and hard ones were on her, but she didn't let him speak again.

It's already three o'clock in the morning.

Even indoors, the cold air from outside comes in through the gaps in the doors and windows.

Looking at the child who was unconscious again, Dongtai sighed.

He couldn't bear it in his heart, but he was still ruthless for the sake of Oil City and the Da Zhangshu Base.

He said to Xiao He next to him: "Water him to wake him up!"

Wow!

A basin of cold water was poured on the young man's face.

Xiao Yuan woke up faintly, feeling burning pain all over his body. Those red whip marks were even more painful when they were touched by cold water.

"You'd better not waste your time, I can't say a word." Xiao Yuan said weakly.

Dongtai sighed and said:

"Why are you doing this? Even if you don't tell us, we will be able to figure out your origins later. There is no point in your struggling to support us.

Don’t you tell me that you think your family will not be harmed by them?”

Xiaoyuan pursed his lips but still did not speak.

Dongtai weakly put down the whip in his hand and threw it against the wall.

He said to Xiao He: "Help him take care of his wounds. Don't let him die. The headquarters will send someone over tomorrow."

Xiao He nodded and said: "Understood."

Xiaoyuan heard the "headquarters" they mentioned and remembered it in his mind.

Such a night seems ordinary to many people.

But it's a little special for some people.

For example, Ju Tianrui, Dongtai and others from Oil City, as well as Meng Ge and others who are more than ten kilometers away from Oil City.

One was wondering who sent this boy here, while Brother Meng and others from the expedition team were wondering how the boy was doing now and whether he had gained the trust of the people in the oil city.

.......

One night passed.

Early the next morning.

Big camphor tree base.

The first outer city.

Many people came out of the greenhouse and lined up to receive today's food subsidy.

Those who participated in the construction of the Fourth Outer City were able to enjoy two meal subsidies, but the subsidies for these two meals were counted in one day's work points.

Therefore, apart from the two-meal subsidy, there is very little food that can be obtained.

Many cooperators formed a long queue to receive food.

While receiving the food, some people were discussing below.

"Why are subsidies starting from the morning today? In the past, weren't they paid out at the same time after work? It's the first time that subsidies are paid out so early in the morning."

"It is said that it is to take care of the new arrivals. Many of them have been without food for several days. Didn't you see that some of the people who came in yesterday were so hungry that they could only breathe.

If they go to work in such a bad state, they probably won't be able to exert much energy.

Maybe the base took this into consideration and gave them food subsidies first so that they could have something to eat so that they would have the strength to start working later."

"Oh, when you say that, it makes sense."

"Stop chatting and move forward quickly, you two."

"Oh, let's go now."

...........

Sergeant Luo, who had been listening carefully just now, felt an indescribable emotion in his heart after hearing the words of the two old collaborators behind him.

This Da Zhangshu base is impersonal, right? There is human touch everywhere.

But you say they are humane, but you waited until now to save them.

However, he did understand one thing.

There is no free lunch in this world, and no one owes you anything.

Now that I can come in, get shelter, have tasks to do and food to eat, I have to be grateful to others.

Thinking of this, Master Luo touched his shriveled belly.

He also hasn't eaten for two days.

The food that Li Yu originally left with them had been consumed a few days ago.

Soon, it was his turn to receive food.

The food is very simple, just two pieces of steamed sweet potatoes and a cup of gruel.

The fragrant sweet potato smell went straight into his nostrils.

Swallowing, he took a small bite.

"Sweet, so sweet."

He ate in small bites, chewed it slowly in his mouth, and then swallowed it.

People who have been hungry know how to cherish food.

They enjoy the feeling of hot food passing through the esophagus and reaching the stomach. The feeling of the food being broken down and then providing them with strength is very obvious.

But everyone's habits are different.

Some people also eat the food in three or two bites after getting it, and then drink up the porridge and water in one go.

........

In the duty room.

There were several people sitting in front of Li Yu, Li Tie, Yang Tianlong, and Xiao Jun.

He told them the latest situation yesterday.

After Xiao Jun found out yesterday that he was asked to go to the Southern Paradise, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

I didn't feel sleepy when I woke up this morning, I just felt full of strength.

Li Yu glanced at the three of them and warned:

"Anyway, just these two things.

First, find out who the person from Oil City is and who sent him?

Second, pay a visit to Mr. Hu on my behalf, and at the same time observe whether it is the oil city they sent people to.

In addition, you must pay attention to safety. If you don't come out within three hours after entering the Southern Paradise, we will begin to attack the Southern Paradise.

If there is an emergency, you can threaten them with this."

The three of them nodded and said, "Understood!"

"Well, in addition, I asked Lao Yi to bring twenty-five combatants to assist you. Then you can go there by helicopter. The time has also been changed. Don't wait until the afternoon. You can pack up and prepare and set off."

"Okay, brother, let's get ready."

"City Lord."

"Go ahead."

The three people put on their helmets and left the duty room.

Lao Yi was already next to the helicopter at this time, inspecting and repairing the helicopter, and at the same time moving some fuel into the helicopter.

When the collaborators finished their food and headed from the First Outer City to the Fourth Outer City construction site one after another.

Li Tie and the others are also ready.

On the wall, Third Uncle, Li Yu, Second Uncle, Song Min and others looked at Li Tie and others who took off from the Wengcheng and waved.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The helicopter took off and then flew towards the Oil City.

At the construction site.

Collaborators working on the construction also saw helicopters in the sky.

"Where are these people sent from the base going?"

"I don't know, why do you care about all this? Let's just work honestly."
