In the bamboo forest.

After the second uncle finished smoking a cigarette, he continued to smoke another.

His mouth kept twitching and his brows were furrowed tightly.

In the past few years, Li Yu was always able to make various preparations before a natural disaster struck.

Lead the Da Zhangshu base through the difficulties.

It wasn't until Qingyuan entered the Dazhangshu base that Li Yu would tell him some things about the natural disaster.

Then make various preparations.

Although the second uncle is still a little reluctant to believe such mysterious and mysterious things, Li Yu has been proven correct countless times in the past.

This forced him to believe, even if he didn't want to, he had to convince himself to believe it.

The difficulty of this disaster is far greater than before.

The second uncle was extremely anxious. From his continuous smoking, we could see how uneasy he was at this time.

too difficult!

It’s really difficult!

Today's Dazhangshu base is different from the past, it is not just a force of several hundred people.

After five years of accumulation, in the past year, especially in the past six months, the power of the Da Zhangshu Base has expanded tremendously.

The headquarters base alone, plus cooperation staff, has five to six thousand people.

Over in Oil City, there are hundreds of combat personnel including Xiao Jun, Ju Tianrui, and hundreds of non-staff personnel, as well as thousands of collaborators, nearly two thousand people.

If we include the affiliated forces in the North and the people sent by the Southern Paradise to support the construction, there are nearly 4,000 people.

If we include the people in the Southern Paradise base, there are a total of 6,000 people.

On the northern border, there are five to six hundred combat personnel plus non-staff personnel. If we include the cooperation personnel sent there a month ago, there are more than a thousand people.

If we include members of affiliated forces, there will be thousands of people.

The number of people they can now control and influence is nearly 20,000.

Unknowingly, the number of people in the Da Zhangshu base grew to an extremely terrifying number.

But with so many people, the pressure is huge.

The second uncle finally understood why those big forces perished in the first place.

Because there are too many people, more zombies will be attracted and the pressure will be greater.

Factors such as food problems, internal disunity leading to civil strife, etc. may all lead to the collapse of the forces in these end times.

The second uncle frowned and said:

"Xiaoyu, I think if we don't shrink the front, those who should give up will give up, and the trading market can be built again in the future."

"The most important thing is to eliminate all unstable factors and fully protect our own talents."

"I suggest that we simply let your third uncle lead people to evacuate the northern border, and the affiliated force members will not want to leave."

"In the trading bazaar in Oil City, disband the construction staff and let all the affiliated forces go back."

"We will do our best to protect the two places, Da Zhangshu Base and Oil City, and protect our own people. We don't care about the others!"

"how do you feel?"

The words just fell.

Li Yu put his hand that was touching the pillar of the pavilion down.

There was an extremely strong sense of confusion in my heart.

I have to say that this suggestion given by my second uncle is extremely tempting.

Give up the southern paradise, give up the trading bazaar, give up the affiliated forces in the north, and give up all unstable factors.

He naturally knew the meaning of this sentence, which was that except for the personnel at Da Zhangshu Base, he wanted nothing else, and he didn't care whether they lived or died.

It is true that following the second uncle's suggestion, concentrating the troops and reducing the protection area, the possibility of overcoming the difficulties will be much higher.

But.

Li Yu was a little unwilling.

It can be expected that many, many people will die in this apocalyptic disaster.

Even if they survive this disaster, it may be difficult to build the trading market again, because no one lacks sufficient manpower.

This means that they have returned to the state they were in two years ago.

As the Da Zhangshu base grows, Li Yu's ambitions also expand.

With Yutong's pregnancy, he had the next generation, and he wanted more.

He evolved from wanting to protect his family and live well in the apocalypse, to wanting to establish a huge force in this apocalypse, and even to gather manpower to end this apocalypse.

After working hard for so long, the second phase of the trading market is almost completed, and the agricultural planting base in Nuo Da in the north will also be abandoned.

To be honest, Li Yu was very unwilling.

Sighing heavily, Li Yu sat on the stone bench.

He took out a cigarette from the stone table, lit it, took a deep drag and said:

"Second uncle, I actually regret the massacre in the northern part of the city."

"So many people were killed, many of whom were innocent."

"But if I were asked to choose again, I would still do it, because if I don't slaughter it, I'm not sure if Yuan Zhi will do anything else later."

"Besides, when I ran into the inner city to threaten Yutong and the others, I got mad and killed them in anger."

The second uncle didn't quite understand why Li Yu talked about this matter. It was completely inconsistent with what he had just talked about.

But he did not interrupt Li Yu and listened quietly.

Li Yu continued:

"The Northern Territory, the trading market, I have put in a lot of effort, and the Northern Territory is hard to conquer.

The trading market has overcome all kinds of difficulties, manpower, materials, etc., and it is really difficult for me to accept that when we are almost ready to bear fruit, we have to give up."

The second uncle said sadly:

"I know, I've been to these places, I know how you feel."

Li Yu looked directly at his second uncle and suddenly asked:

"Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed!"

"In these troubled times, it may not be an opportunity!"

"If I really follow what you do, Uncle Er, we at Da Zhangshu will have regressed to two years ago, and we may always be huddled in these two places in the future."

"Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, I thought, if we can lead them through this disaster together.

And one week before the natural disaster, go through the oil city to remind all survivors you encounter, tell them about the natural disaster, and remind them to be prepared."

"This is the best publicity for the trading market. The survivors will definitely thank us for completely solving the trust problem. After the disaster, the trading market will welcome a large number of survivors."

"These people doing transactions there bring us huge profits, and we can also rely on them to gradually expand our power!"

When the second uncle heard this, his brows furrowed more and more tightly.

"You're crazy!"

"Remind other survivors that we don't have that obligation, let alone what if we have them, we can't feed them!"

Li Yu took a puff of cigarette and said:

"Who said I have to feed them?"

“The four-level system remains the same, and the points system will always be adhered to.

We will never give anyone a free lunch, and I’m not a Holy Mother, so why should I give them something if I don’t pay for it.”

"I just want them to remember Oil City, remember the name Oil City Trading Market, and become a place that all survivors want to join. But we still select people strictly."

"Second Uncle, I understand your concerns, but I can tell you that the Da Zhangshu Base will always be hidden behind Oil City. If the North and Oil City are in chaos, there must be no chaos here."

"The headquarters base is our base camp. There must be no mistakes or chaos."

"But I want to give Oil City and Trading Market a try. According to my idea, as long as we survive this natural disaster, the future of Oil City after the natural disaster is immeasurable."

In the past, Li Yu didn't dare to gamble or fight.

That's because he only has one big camphor tree base, and once it's captured by zombies, it's completely over.

His relatives are all here, so everything needs to be stable.

But Oil City and the North are so far away from the headquarters base.

For example, before the end of the world, when a person only had 10,000 yuan in his hand, he would not dare to spend 10,000 yuan to buy stocks because he only had 10,000 yuan. Even if he lost a few hundred yuan, he would feel distressed.
