Big camphor tree base.

Inner city.

Silent and peaceful.

The birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. In the Shantang Reservoir, a few birds flew across the water and flew back to the fruit branches by the river with splashes of water.

The flowers on the fruit trees were in full bloom, and buds sprouted from the branches.

Late spring, May, spring and summer make people sleepy and tired.

By the reservoir.

There is a fishing rod propped up on the wooden railing on the shore.

A dragonfly sits motionless on a fishing rod.

The wind is gentle and the cicadas are chirping.

The air is a bit stuffy, but a gust of wind makes people feel comfortable.

Li Yu sat on a simple canvas chair with a backrest, quietly watching the fish float float up and down.

Next to him lay three wolfdogs, lying on their sides as if they were lying in pieces.

Three wolfdogs were lying in a row, looking quite happy.

Sudden.

The fish bobber that had been floating up and down suddenly sank.

Li Yu sat up and tightened his grip on the fishing rod in his hand.

The dragonfly above flew away in no time.

He didn't pull up the fishing rod in a hurry, but held on to the bracelet and tightened it.

After a minute or two, when he felt almost the same, he slowly pulled back.

He did not use dead force, but used vitality.

From the moment he pulled it, he could feel that it was a big fish, at least weighing more than ten kilograms.

If you had just pulled it up with brute force, the fishing line would most likely collapse, causing the fish to escape.

After a minute or two of pulling, he felt that the fish's physical strength was almost exhausted.

Then he slowly pulled back.

As the line continued to be reeled in, the fish floated on the surface of the water.

It is indeed a big fish.

A large grass carp weighing more than ten kilograms.

Grass carp is suitable for cutting into pieces, fried and eaten, or boiled.

Of course, it also tastes good grilled.

Crucian carp, for example, is most suitable for making soup because its fish oil, calcium and colloid are easily dissolved and taste delicious.

As the big fish was brought closer to the lake shore by him, he held the fishing rod in his left hand and quickly took out the fishing net with his right hand, and grabbed the big grass carp up.

Put down the fishing rod.

He took out a pair of pliers and picked up the big grass carp.

"Brother, here it is!" Li Gang took out a belt scale for measuring weight and handed it to Li Yu.

Li Yu held this huge grass carp and took a look at the weight marked on it.

"Eighteen pounds and six taels, not bad!"

Li Yu put down the fish with a smile and threw it back into the net bag used to hold the fish.

Obviously there was more than just this fish in the net bag. As Li Yu pulled it up, there were seven or eight big fish in it.

Li Yu's fishing skills have improved by leaps and bounds recently, and patience is very important.

This fishing is just like dealing with the enemy. You need to take a long-term view, be patient enough, pull back and forth, consume the enemy's strength, and then look at the timing to hit the target with one hit.

"Not bad, Xiaoyu, how many fish have you caught?" the second uncle's voice came from behind.

"I'm so busy right now because of your leisurely attitude. But you will still enjoy it..."

Hearing his second uncle’s complaints, Li Yu chuckled and said:

"Those who are capable work hard! Those who are capable work hard! Second uncle, you are the best!"

As he spoke, he hung the bait on the hook, flicked it hard, and flung the fishing line away.

It sounded like Li Yu was talking to him in a coaxing tone.

The second uncle laughed and cursed:

"You brat, I'm really..."

Pointing at Li Yu, he shook his head and smiled.

After Li Yu finished throwing the fishhook, he stood up and asked Li Gang to watch for him.

He knew that when his second uncle came to see him in person, he must have something important to discuss with him.

Otherwise, you can explain it clearly over the intercom without having to come face to face.

"Second uncle, you are so busy, why do you come to see me?"

Li Yu wiped his hands, then took out a bottle of lemonade from the box at the back and took two sips.

There are some ice cubes in the insulator, so this bottle of lemonade is a little cold.

It just relieves the hot and stuffy feeling.

The second uncle squatted down and wanted to touch the heads of the three wolf dogs, but he was almost bitten.

Woof woof woof——

Several wolf dogs barked at the second uncle.

Upon seeing this, Li Yu quickly shouted: "Shut up!"

Wuwuwu——

The three wolf dogs retreated to Li Yu and whimpered, and Li Yu had to touch their heads.

The original smile on the second uncle's face was awkward.

He said with emotion: "I am so familiar with these three wolf dogs, and they still bark, really... I only recognize you."

This kind of wolfdog will only recognize one master in its life.

As he spoke, his expression became slightly more positive.

He said with a somewhat serious tone:

"Xiaoyu, I came here mainly to discuss something with you."

"Say, second uncle." Li Yu had already guessed that his second uncle had something important to discuss with him, so he was not surprised.

"Do you know the total number of people in Oil City and Trading Market?" asked the second uncle.

"Thirty thousand?" Li Yu asked.

The second uncle shook his head and said: "This is the data from the day before yesterday. Today it has exceeded 40,000!"

"Forty thousand!"

The second uncle frowned and sat down on another pony.

He said with a somewhat sad tone:

“I was worried at first that if the Oil City Trading Market was built and no one came, it would be a waste of energy. I didn’t expect the publicity to be so effective.

In just a few days, the number of people has skyrocketed, and the number of new people added every day has no downward trend."

"More than 50,000, I think it's a very simple thing."

Li Yu frowned when he heard this.

You must know that at the beginning, the Northern Federation only had a few tens of thousands of people, not 100,000.

Besides, the northern border is such a big place.

"I didn't expect so many people to come. I'll close the city gate later depending on the situation. The more people there are, the more popular it will be, and the more zombies it will attract!" Li Yu said, rubbing his eyebrows.

When the second uncle heard this, he nodded solemnly and said:

"right."

"I came to you just to talk about this matter. Oil City is located in the Central Plains. Originally, that place had the largest population before the apocalypse, so the number of zombies will be even greater during the apocalypse."

"Our Da Zhangshu base headquarters only has a few thousand people. It has three floors of mobile knives, a forty-eight-meter wall, and so many heavy artillery weapons. It is located in a remote place, and we have cleared away the zombies around it several times.
