"What Qing Yuan said?"

"It's not that clear." Li Yu replied calmly.

"oh."

The second uncle was dubious. Even now, the second uncle is still reluctant to believe the results of Qingyuan's divination.

But the divination was correct these several times. This irrefutable fact made him a little confused.

"There's one more thing."

"What?" The second uncle looked at Li Yu doubtfully.

Li Yu pointed to the small compartment in the duty room, which was used to store weapons and ammunition.

The second uncle instantly understood what Li Yu meant, which meant that he didn't want others to hear it.

The two walked into the cubicle.

"Qingyuan said that the future challenge to the Zhangshu Base will come from the northwest, but he did not make it clear whether this challenge was from a certain force or something else."

"He said the key to breaking the situation is for me to go to the northwest in person."

.....

Li Yu probably told his second uncle what Qing Yuan said.

The second uncle frowned when he heard half of it, especially when he heard that Li Yu was asked to go to the northwest in person.

"This Qingyuan...what he said is too vague."

"Xiaoyu, you can't go. Not to mention that the northwest is vast. If you want to find it, how will it be found? How long will it take? If this challenge really refers to a powerful force, run there in person in case you encounter it.

what to do?"

"This Qingyuan! It's true!"

The second uncle was a little wary and had already begun to wonder if Qingyuan had something up his sleeve.

That's how he is, always thinking the worst about people's minds.

Seeing how excited his second uncle was, Li Yu smiled bitterly and said:

"Second uncle, please don't get excited yet."

"I didn't say I was going now, or as soon as the thunderstorm was over. The northwest is so big, there's no point running around like a headless fly."

"I definitely won't go there right away, but I don't think Qingyuan is the kind of person who talks nonsense. There must be a reason for him to say that."

"So, I want to wait for the thunderstorm and natural disaster to send a group of people to the northwest to explore the place. They can find the best one. If they can't find it, there is nothing they can do."

When the second uncle heard what Li Yu said, he understood.

"You mean, whether it's there or not, send someone over to check it out first? Just where to look for it? The northwest is so big?"

"Let's search all the way there, just let it happen. To search such a big place requires a lot of manpower. We don't have that many manpower. Even if we do, there is no need to waste too much manpower on this. At most, we can send a small team there.

.

If you can find it, look for it; if you can’t find it, come back.”

"If a shotgun is fired into the sky, whether it will hit or not depends entirely on luck?" The second uncle used a metaphor to describe Li Yu's words.

"Um...that's pretty much what it means."

After hearing this, the second uncle smacked his lips and said, "Okay, it just so happens that we can let the team explore the situation in the other northwest. It has been so long since the end of the world, and we have never heard any news from the northwest, nor have we heard anything from the northwest.

Survivors who came over.”

"So, this is why I sent someone there."

To expand your base, you must gradually understand the overall environment.

Find out what large forces are around you.

The development of Dazhangshu Base has always been relatively conservative and has never launched malicious attacks on the outside.

Usually it's because stranger forces are greedy and don't care about their lives, so they will fight back.

This world is dominated by the weak and the strong, and there is no need for any reason for the struggle between forces.

Partners like Southern Paradise that can form a strategic alliance are rare.

If other forces had the strength of Da Zhangshu Base, they would definitely annex Southern Paradise directly. Master Hu and the leadership of Southern Paradise would be killed, supplies would be robbed, and the rest would either surrender or be used as slaves.

But Da Zhangshu Base did not do this. Instead, it used the method of bundling interests to play with this little brother.

But unknowingly, as the cooperation between Southern Paradise and Oil City becomes more and more in-depth, there is actually some trend of integration.

Apart from anything else, Southern Paradise has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the trading market, and the sunk costs are huge. If it wants to participate in the management here in the future, it will definitely have to invest more...

Moreover, Mr. Hu is already older. If Mr. Hu dies, who can control Southern Paradise...

Ma Yingxue is Mr. Hu's adopted daughter and is based in Oil City.

.....

"Then I agree. Just send a small team there. I agree."

"But, who would be more suitable to lead the team there? The northwest is not close to us. This mission is probably going to take a long time..."

"Second uncle." Li Yu suddenly had an idea in his head.

"Um."

"You said, why don't we just issue the mission directly? Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men. After the natural disaster, we can simply issue the mission to explore the northwest at the Da Zhangshu base and trading market.

As long as we collect information about the forces in the northwest, we will give you a major reward!"

When the second uncle heard this, he coughed and said:

"Well, scattered survivors can't participate at all. They can't go that far, and they don't have fuel and energy."

"For the medium and large forces, you have the ability to cross such a long distance, but we don't know what's going on in the northwest, so we can't give them a destination.

In other words, for them, the past may be empty-handed, and this possibility is very high.

Besides, the cost of the past trip must have been quite high.”

"Not to mention the food consumed on the road, the various complicated road conditions and dangers encountered on the road are enough to make them retreat."

"It's difficult to travel thousands of kilometers just for such an unclear goal."

After hearing his second uncle's analysis, Li Yu felt that it made sense.

Touching his chin, the slightly raised stubble was a bit prickly.

"So, this matter can only be done by our own people?"

"I think it is."

The second uncle continued:

"It would be more efficient if those survivors help us search the northwest, but the northwest is too big. Even if dozens of teams go there, it will be a drop in the bucket.

On the contrary, with so many people running over, if there really is a powerful force in the northwest and captures these survivors...

Then wouldn’t we be exposed?”

"It is impossible to rely on these survivors who have received the mission. They are willing to pay the price of their lives and not tell any news about Da Zhangshu Base or Oil City. People are realistic."

"Um."

Li Yu quite agrees with this point.

If the northwest that Qingyuan mentioned is really a powerful force, then it is best not to let them know about the existence of the Zhangshu Base.

Whoever knows the other party first will have more initiative.

I would rather not find the other person than let the other person know about me.

"What the second uncle said makes sense, then let's send our own people there to search." Li Yu nodded.

"I came here to talk to you about this matter. As for the candidate, let's wait until the natural disaster passes."

"Okay." The second uncle had no objection.
