The total number of people has reached more than one hundred and thirty.

This is almost a third of the total population of just over four hundred and fifty in the Inner and Outer City of the Big Camphor Tree Base.

Among these four hundred and fifty people, nearly a hundred are non-combat personnel, leaving only two hundred available for combat at any time.

However, even though these hundred people are not combat personnel, in exceptional times, they also possess certain combat capabilities, albeit with relatively low combat power.

People like An Ya, Meng Yu, and Zhou Weiguo are essential for maintaining the base's basic operations, and they cannot stop their work.

"Facing that biker gang, I think we should be more cautious, have more people, and be better prepared; it's really necessary," Li Yu said earnestly.

Second Uncle and Third Uncle were somewhat surprised; even when facing the Western Alliance, they hadn't seen such a serious expression on Li Yu's face.

In their opinion, could a biker gang really be stronger than the Western Alliance?

Since the development of the base, they had never suffered any losses, and the forces opposing the Big Camphor Tree Base had essentially been eliminated.

Time and again, their victories had created a feeling that the Big Camphor Tree Base's strength was very formidable and unmatched by any other force.

Li Yu continued, "Better safe than sorry. Let's not underestimate this biker gang. Their rapid rise and swift expansion aren't so simple."

Second Uncle, upon hearing this, felt alarm bells ringing in his heart.

"Xiao Yu is right. We shouldn't underestimate any enemy; we must treat every enemy cautiously," Second Uncle said with some reflection, realizing this lesson needed to be reminded by Xiao Yu.

They discussed a bit more and decided to set off the morning after next, communicating some detailed matters.

Then the meeting ended.

That night.

Li Yu sat alone outside on his balcony, handling his handgun.

Skillfully dismantling and reassembling the handgun.

The moon was bright, but the stars were sparse. The two mountains in the Inner City bathed in moonlight, becoming gentle and quiet. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The night breeze arose, and Li Yu returned to his room.

.......

May.

Xiaoman.

Small fullness, when objects just begin to reach abundance.

Auspicious: travel, marriage

Inauspicious: neglecting agriculture, raw and cold food.

Big Camphor Tree Base.

In Weng City.

Over thirty vehicles were parked densely.

The walls were lined with people.

Though they had already bid farewell in the Inner City, Father Li and Mrs. Li still came out to see Li Yu and the others off.

"Xiao Yu, I put some food in your caravan's fridge, and in the side cabinet, I prepared some beef jerky for you, and...," Mrs. Li rambled on, admonishing Li Yu to be careful.

Li Yu felt touched, and said softly, "I know, Mom."

Then he turned to Li Hang and Li Yuan, who were standing nearby, and said, "While I'm away, you need to take good care of everyone, got it?"

Li Hang seemed a bit unwilling and said, "Big brother, let me go with you. I've been at the base for so long."

"Next time, I'll take you out next time. Not this one," Li Yu refused.

Li Yuan looked at his brother and said, "Big brother, you be careful too."

Li Yu nodded.

...

On the other side, Third Aunt looked with some resentment at Third Uncle, Li Gang, and Li Tie.

"Going again, how long will you be away this time?" Third Aunt asked Third Uncle.

Third Uncle thought for a moment and said, "At least a week, at most a month."

"That long?" Third Aunt said a bit unhappily.

Adjusting Third Uncle's clothes, she pointed at Li Gang and Li Tie and told him, "I don't care about the rest, but if they get even a scratch, be prepared to kneel on the washboard when you get back."

Third Uncle chuckled bitterly, "Don't worry, they're in the same vehicle as Xiao Yu, nothing will happen."

He thought to himself: They're all men; getting hurt is completely normal. The washboard—it's not like I haven't used it before...

Third Aunt sighed and said gently, "I packed some fruit for you; it's on the car."

Third Uncle felt touched, stepped forward, and hugged Third Aunt, patting her head.

Third Aunt was momentarily stunned, her face quickly turning red, especially when she saw the Ant and others looking over.

She was so shy she wanted to crawl into a hole.

Pinching Third Uncle's waist, she said fiercely, "We're an old couple; how can you still be like this, it's so embarrassing."

Though she said that, the smile at the corner of her mouth couldn't be hidden.

Nearby Su Mei was also advising Li Gang, creating a warm scene.

As for Li Tie, he looked at Li Gang and his girlfriend Su Mei on one side, then at Yang Tianlong and Shang Xue'er, Song Min and Dapao on the right, then at Li Yu and Yutong, Yang Xiaozhu, and also looked at Lai Xiyue and Bai Jie watching Li Yu from afar.

Finally, he looked at his parents beside him.

He had never thought being single was a problem, but now he suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.

"Damn, I need to find a girlfriend too," Li Tie muttered to himself.

Looking around, I'm the only single dog around here.

We laugh and joke around usually, but it turns out I'm the clown.

At that moment, Li Tie felt a strong urge to find a girlfriend.

The farewell was brief.

Li Yu shouted to the crowd, "Set out!"

He then got into the Unimog, Dapao pressed the accelerator, driving out from the gate.

Following closely behind were vehicles driven by Luo and others, tanks and armored vehicles, with long, cold barrels that seemed intimidating.
