Chapter 708 Energy Crisis [Subscribe and Vote]

He Chao, Lao Lu and others counted the steel on the truck one by one. Li Yuan collected the guns issued to Zhu Xiao and Guo Peng and registered the bullets they used.

Gongsun Jing also took the initiative to hand in the guns that her uncle had given her for temporary use, and explained the cause and effect.

The second uncle also increased the corresponding points for Zhu Xiao and his team based on this action. According to this action, the points are almost enough to enter the outer city, but they still need to pass the assessment.

In addition, exchange some food.

Since it was mainly the uncle and Lao Qin who led the team, the exchanged food was reduced a lot, and then deducted the part that Zhu Xiao and his team borrowed before.

More than 500 tons of steel, the amount of food that can be exchanged has been greatly reduced, but it is still a good number. With these grains, Zhu Xiao and his team don’t have to worry about food for at least a month.

After all this was done, the sky gradually darkened.

Li Yu learned from his uncle that there were still many steels in Guangshi that had not been transported back.

Now there is no manpower in the base, so Li Yu plans to let Zhu Xiao and his team continue to transport the steel back.

So, Li Yu found Zhu Xiao and Guo Peng.

"You performed very well this time. There are still some steel materials in Guangshi that need to be transported back. You can go there together then. Let's do this. You go back and rest first and wait for notification at any time."

Zhu Xiao and Guo Peng nodded repeatedly. In fact, in their eyes, this trip was too profitable.

Although they encountered some other forces, they were all solved by Uncle San and his men.

They were mainly responsible for some transportation work.

As the sky gradually darkened, they took the food and drove their own vehicles parked in the base out of the base and returned to the house next to the rural road.

They were looking forward to joining the camphor tree base in a real sense after the mission was completed.

As for the fact that they saw that the ant could enter the outer city, although they felt a little sour, they knew that it was not an ordinary person.

They could kill hundreds of people together with Uncle Lao Qin.

Such people cannot be compared.

If people similar to themselves entered the outer city, they might not dare to say anything, but they might have complaints in their hearts.

It's like, if someone is slightly stronger than you, you may be jealous and dissatisfied, but if this person is much stronger than you, then you will feel balanced.

There are fewer people in the city.

Lao Lu and his team transported the steel back to the inner city, to the outdoor warehouse.

Uncle San and Aunt San have returned to the inner city.

At this time, only Li Yu, Uncle Er and He Chao are left in the city.

Although He Chao can enter the inner city at any time, he rarely goes in.

Generally, he only goes in occasionally when he is looking for his daughter.

Most of the time, he stays in the outer city and is responsible for managing some details in the outer city.

For He Chao, he has joined the camphor tree base for a long time.

From leading a group of people, struggling on the edge of life and death.

Later, he was rescued by Li Yu, assigned tasks to him, and entered the outer city step by step.

Then his daughter is now in the inner city, living a good life, safe and stable.

He has nothing else to ask for in this life, he just wants to repay Li Yu well.

He is a stubborn person. Li Yu gave him everything he needed, so he will repay Li Yu with the greatest strength.

Under such circumstances, Li Yu slowly felt his attitude and determination, so he slowly let him manage some things in the outer city.

In addition, his daughter was in the inner city, so it can be said that He Chao handed over his biggest weakness to Li Yu.

He Chao looked at the outer city and said to Li Yu: "Mr. Li, that teammate of Uncle San has gone in. Should I arrange two people to watch him?"

Li Yu shook his head when he heard this.

Strangely enough, this He Chao especially understood Li Yu's thoughts and considered some details very well.

"Uncle Qin is in the same room with him. It's okay. After all, he is still Uncle San's teammate. It's okay. You just need to watch him at any time. Don't give him a feeling of being monitored." Li Yu said.

In fact, in his heart, there is another layer of consideration.

In the outer city, there are surveillance cameras in the corridor, and people in the inner city monitoring room can see them at any time.

In addition, there are no weapons in the outer city, and nothing can be done.

The 20-30-meter wall cannot be climbed.

There are people on duty on the wall, and they can see the situation at any time.

In this case, nothing will happen.

Li Yu thought this way, which was actually a bit sinister.

However, after all, for Li Yu, Ant was just a person he had just met today, although he was a teammate of Uncle San, and he had a trust endorsement.

It was not that he did not trust Uncle San, but that people could easily change after being in the apocalypse for so long.

No matter how careful you are, it is necessary.

Uncle Er was listening nearby. After hearing the conversation between He Chao and Li Yu and Li Yu's decision, he did not say anything, but he made up his mind that he would sleep in the duty room tonight.

Night fell.

Smoke curled up.

After Uncle San returned to the inner city, he immediately ran to the greenhouse to pick a few ripe cucumbers.

These days outside, he had already eaten all the fruits he brought.

Wash the cucumbers, chew them while walking towards the dining room.

In the afternoon, Aunt Zhou learned that Uncle San and his friends had returned, so she made the dishes look better.

Killed eggplant, cold bamboo shoots, braised duck, stir-fried green beans

Four dishes, one soup.

In the end times, this is already a luxurious dinner.

Lao Lu pushed the food to his second uncle, Li Haoran and others who were on duty on the wall, as well as Ant and Lao Qin in the outer city.

It was Li Yu who decided to send the food to the two of them.

This was also a way to welcome Ant.

Under normal circumstances, the meals in the inner and outer cities were separated. In the outer city, He Chao found a former team member's wife and asked her to cook with a few people.

The standard meals were much worse than those in the inner city.

In addition to the fixed amount of staple food per person per day, the amount of vegetables was also limited.

Ant looked at the food in front of him and looked at Lao Qin in surprise.

"Do you usually have this standard meal?"

Lao Qin shook his head and said with a smile: "It's usually much worse, but at least I can eat enough. Today, I'm taking advantage of your blessing, so I can eat something good."

"Taking advantage of my blessing?" Ant asked in confusion.

"Yeah." Lao Qin wiped his hands and began to feast.

The ant thought about it and soon figured it out. He realized that this might be a way to welcome him.

A warm current surged in his heart inexplicably.

He hadn't eaten this kind of food for a long time.

In the most difficult times, he and Xiao Hei and a cockroach shared the food.

Looking at Xiao Hei, who was drooling, the ant scraped out some food, took out a bowl from his backpack, put the food in the bowl, and handed it to Xiao Hei.

In his heart, Xiao Hei was no different from his family.

In this long apocalypse, Xiao Hei accompanied him through the most difficult times.

Seeing the ant like this, Lao Qin also put the duck bones he had left in Xiao Hei's bowl.

He tried to touch its dog head, and Xiao Hei rarely raised his head to bite him.

After these few days of contact, Xiao Hei gradually felt the relationship between Lao Qin and Uncle San and the ant, and he didn't look at them with that kind of vigilant eyes.

"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold later." Lao Qin looked at the ant and reminded.

Ant swallowed his saliva, and the aroma from his nose reminded him of the days before the end of the world.

He picked up a piece of duck meat and put it in his mouth.

It was soft and tender, and the taste of ginger and duck meat made his taste buds release more saliva.

Delicious!

His eyes lit up, and then he picked up the bamboo shoots with chopsticks, which were crisp and refreshing.

Killed eggplant, spicy and delicious.

With a big mouthful of rice, he felt satisfied.

This meal was better than all the meals he had eaten in his memory.

This was the most delicious meal, no one else.

"It's so delicious! The food made by this chef is really delicious." He ate faster and faster, and finally wolfed it down, but he was afraid that he would eat too fast and not taste the delicious food, so he slowed down his eating speed and said.

Opposite him, Lao Qin had finished eating, and was touching his stomach over there, looking at Ant with a comfortable face.

Clang!

Xiao Hei finished the meal in the bowl, lay on the ground, and slowly chewed the bones that fell down.

A pair of dog eyes narrowed slightly, very humane and giving people a very enjoyable feeling.

"This dog is very smart." Lao Qin looked at Xiao Hei and said with a smile.

Ant had finished eating at this time, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lao Qin: "Yes, Xiao Hei is very smart. He helped me kill crows before."

Speaking of Xiao Hei, Ant suddenly felt proud and boasted about Xiao Hei to Lao Qin.

Xiao Hei glanced at the ant and gnawed bones over there.

After the meal.

Uncle San found Li Yu.

The two took a walk on the mountain trail in the inner city to digest their food.

The street lights illuminated the road.

Some of the trees around died, but some fell down, twisted and grew, and lived tenaciously.

There was also a big banyan tree, which seemed to be blown up by the wind. After the natural disaster, it grew diagonally.

These strange-shaped trees look like a sense of design, adding a touch of style to the mountain road.

The two chatted while smoking.

"There are more than 10,000 tons of steel left. Now that there is less and less steel outside, we must transport it back. Xiaoyu, the day after tomorrow, I will lead the team out again." Uncle San slowly exhaled smoke and said.

Under the lights at night, the sound of insects rang out.

But it did not make people feel upset, but made people feel much calmer.

A gust of evening wind blew, making a rustling sound.

Li Yu thought for a while and said: "More than 10,000 tons, one truck loads 40 tons. There are a total of 45 trucks in our base. 10 trucks will be left to transport various large mud, sand and stone materials. The remaining 35 trucks are still not enough."

Suddenly thinking of the many non-staff and cooperative personnel, maybe some people can be sent to transport them back.

However, they also have some vehicles, but they are of different sizes. Some people have trucks, and some people have vans. The loading capacity cannot be calculated.

Li Yu continued, "How about this, 35 heavy trucks, and then Zhu Xiao, Guo Peng and others go together, let them take their own cars, and I will let Xiao Hu from the second group of non-staff personnel take their cars, Xiao Hu's group's cars are all large trucks, which can carry more.

In addition, in addition to Lao Qin, I will let Xiao Jun take ten people to go with you? I just heard from you, Third Uncle, that there are other forces in Guangshi, so it is safer to take a few more people. Xiao Jun and others have served in the army, so you can use them more easily."

Uncle San stopped when he heard what Li Yu said, turned around and looked at the lights in the base.

He felt a sense of happiness.

This is his home, a paradise for them in the end times.

"Okay, just decide. It will probably take less than seven or eight trips to transport it back. Most of the people in Zhu Xiao and Guo Peng's group can drive, and Xiao Jun will also find some people who can drive. In this way, we can get 60 or 70 cars at a time, which will be much faster." Uncle San nodded and said.

The evening breeze was gentle.

Uncle San continued: "But, in this way, the fuel consumption is very high. The 200 tons of diesel stockpiled before will consume a lot of it in one trip."

Li Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle San, there is no 200 tons, that was a long time ago. Now there is only 138 tons."

138 tons of diesel, that is, 276,000 kilograms of diesel.

Li Yu spoke again: "Recently, I found a person among the cooperating personnel, named Zhang San, who is a three-electric system engineer. Recently, he has made an electric truck. Although it is pieced together, it at least proves that it is feasible, and it is still in the stage of fine transformation.

Wait for the future, take your time, it would be great if it can be electrified by then."

"Good!" Uncle San's eyes lit up.
