So he said, "Let's talk business, don't fool around."

Bai Jie glanced at Xiao Lan, who was seriously researching, and slightly opened her white lab coat, revealing a patch of black.

Li Yu was baffled.

Damn, it's always impossible to imagine what's worn under such dignified clothes.

.......

......

Li Yu, though rarely riding horses, was practically ridden by one today.

He gracefully left the Research Room's lounge.

For some reason, the previous inner impatience and anger dissipated significantly, and he felt exceptionally calm.

Shaking his head with a bitter smile, he harshly mocked himself.

Just as he returned to the duty room, he saw vehicles of Uncle and others slowly driving in from the cement road between the woods.

The vehicles carried numerous supplies, some food left from last time, and some usable items collected from houses.

There was even a truckload of antiques.

These antiques, priceless before the Doomsday, may still hold value to some during the Doomsday.

But for most ordinary survivors, an ancient painting is less practical than a pack of instant noodles.

In Weng City.

"Uncle." Li Yu looked at the dusty Uncle in front of him.

Uncle smiled and said, "I heard from the personnel stationed abroad that our Third Outer City is almost built?"

Li Yu shook his head and said, "The Residential Buildings aren't finished yet, but the wall is built."

Uncle nodded and said, "That's quite fast, last time I left, it was only halfway done."

"How was this trip?" Li Yu asked.

Uncle smiled and said, "Very smooth, except a few cars had their tires punctured on the way, but we managed to hobble back."

"Punctured by someone?" Li Yu frowned and asked.

"Yes, we found nails on the road, intentionally placed there, but couldn't locate the culprits after half an hour of searching. We decided to return to the base first and deal with it later."

Li Yu's forehead remained furrowed.

Uncle noted his expression and said, "I suspect some survivors did it, trying to ambush us. But seeing our numbers, they resorted to sabotage. The perpetrators probably aren't very powerful."

Li Yu pondered this and set it aside for now.

Then he discussed the Motorcycle Gang situation with Uncle, explaining his plan to go tackle them in a few days with Third Uncle.

Uncle asked surprisedly, "In such a hurry? When are you planning to depart?"

Li Yu looked at He Chao and others organizing supplies nearby and said, "In the next two days, just waiting for your return before heading out."

Uncle was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Alright, don't worry about the base here, we've got it covered. Just focus on dealing with them."

Hearing Uncle's assurance, Li Yu smiled and said, "With you at the base, I'm definitely reassured."

"You brat." Uncle laughed and cursed.

They communicated for a while more, watching supplies categorized and placed accordingly.

Uncle returned to the Inner City to rest.

Driving long distances, especially on rough roads, is exhausting.

As evening fell.

Li Yu met with Third Uncle, Second Uncle, and others for a small meeting.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, I plan for us to head to Nanyang for the Motorcycle Gang the day after tomorrow," Li Yu said seriously.

Second Uncle asked, "That urgent? Is everything ready?"

Li Yu nodded and said, "Most items are settled, just a bit more organizing tomorrow and we're good."

Second Uncle thought for a moment then said, "To be safe, carry extra fuel to guarantee a round trip."

Third Uncle agreed, "I second that, be prepared for the worst. Even if we can't capture Oil City, we must ensure our return fuel sufficiency."

Li Yu nodded at their suggestions, "Alright, let's bring the fuel truck."

"Also, Third Uncle, about personnel for the mission, anything to add to Xiao Tie's plan?"

Third Uncle recalled the names from the list and said, "Are there too many people going?"

Li Yu shook his head and replied, "It's not excessive: two tanks, two armored vehicles, ten rocket launchers, ten mortars, including Luo, Ju Tianrui, in total just under one hundred and fifty people."

Despite input from Zhong Chuchu and new survivors, understanding of the Motorcycle Gang's strength is incomplete.

Currently, even their total number is unclear.

But at least knowing their location is enough for Li Yu for now.

Li Tie's plan involved Third Uncle and his teammates as the special forces squad to scout ahead of the main force.

Ahead was Li Yu with the main troops, including Ju Tianrui, Xiao Jun, Luo, Old Bi, and even the attending physician Liu Pengfei.
