Third Uncle smiled slightly upon hearing this.

Ju Tianrui came over and took out a map from a wooden long cylinder.

He handed it to Li Yu and said, "In the very center building, we also found this military map."

"What?" Third Uncle exclaimed in shock.

Even the cigarette butt in his hand trembled a bit. It was known that such maps were extremely precious in the military.

In urgent situations, such military maps were often destroyed immediately.

Li Yu didn't quite understand and asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Third Uncle's smile grew broader, and he said to Li Yu, "This kind of military map shows locations that are not marked on many civilian maps.

The main differences between civilian and military maps lie in two aspects.

The first difference: the level of detail varies.

Civilian maps are primarily used by the general public, who use maps usually to find roads to destinations in unfamiliar environments, so the requirements for maps aren't high as long as common geographical locations are marked for locating destinations.

However, military maps, used by military personnel, mainly serve to view geographical locations and terrains to familiarize themselves with the combat environment for strategic deployment. Compared with civilian maps, they are more detailed.

The second difference is the requirements for the creation process.

Since military bases and facilities are national secrets and can't be casually disclosed, civilian maps omit these locations.

So, on military maps, there are usually locations of military bases and facilities that normal people can't see.

Simply put, it's a treasure map for us."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu felt like a giant pie had fallen from the sky and hit him dizzy.

He hurriedly emptied his hands and unfurled the military map.

But as soon as he emptied it out, he discovered that the military map seemed to have been burned by fire, leaving it in tatters; only less than a quarter of it was intact, with many parts scorched with yellow and black marks.

The whole map was old-looking, and Li Yu could only carefully open it.

Next to him, Ju Tianrui explained, "This is how we found it. Perhaps when the apocalypse first erupted, the people in high positions here evacuated hastily and set it on fire before leaving, without completely burning it."

Third Uncle quickly approached, looked at the map, and then said to Li Yu, "No worries, it's still useful. At least some places can still be identified, we can fix it when we get back."

This map was so large that Li Yu opened less than a third of it.

Third Uncle stopped him: "Don't open it more, wait until we're back at Oil City to find a place without wind to fix it. Opening it now with the wind will make it worse."

"Oh, okay. It seems to be a national map." Li Yu said, looking at the words at the top of the map.

Third Uncle said with some regret, "Yes, it's national."

Then he turned to Ju Tianrui and asked, "Did you find anything else when you discovered this military map?"

Ju Tianrui shook his head and said, "No, when we entered that house, the map was hanging on the ground. We didn't realize it was a map until after stepping on it twice and Dong Tai noticed it when he looked down."

"....." Third Uncle looked at him speechlessly.

"After Dong Tai saw it, we were pressed for time, so we quickly picked it up as best as we could. We found a wooden cylinder for the map nearby, so we put it inside first." Ju Tianrui said with some embarrassment.

Third Uncle sighed and then said, "No worries, it's a fortunate discovery, we'll restore it once we take it back."

He then helped Li Yu gently place the map back into the cylindrical container.

Because the map was too large, it seemed to be the kind that hung on the wall, occupying an entire wall, so folding wasn't ideal; it was better to roll it up and put it in the cylinder.

Li Yu handed the cylinder to Third Uncle for safekeeping, then pointed to a helicopter not far away and said to Third Uncle, "That's the helicopter."

Third Uncle walked over, circled around the helicopter, nodding with satisfaction as he walked and said, "Not bad, not bad, the exterior looks fine."

He then looked up and saw five military trucks, two armored transports, and two infantry fighting vehicles nearby, eyes sparkling.

"The bombs and other supplies haven't been tallied yet, but they're mostly here." Li Yu explained.

"That's great." Third Uncle nodded, smiling at the supplies.

"By the way, where's the military radio? Let me take a look." Third Uncle suddenly asked.

Li Yu turned to Ju Tianrui, as the military radio was mainly for Ju Tianrui to find, he should have found four of them.

Ju Tianrui came over and said to them, "The military radios are on the truck; we've found four good ones. There are two near the window that got soaked with rain, severely damaged, but we brought them back as well."

Then he led the two towards the truck.

Looking at the green military radios in front, Li Yu didn't know how to use them, while Third Uncle stepped up to inspect them and said, "Charge them later and see if they work."

"Okay." Ju Tianrui nodded.

After getting off the truck, Third Uncle looked at the large sun and said to Li Yu, "Xiao Yu, the gains from this trip far exceed our expectations. I think we can head back now. Bringing all this stuff back sooner is better."

Li Yu agreed, so he called everyone to hurry onto the truck to return to Oil City.

However, Dapao stubbornly refused to get on the truck, he and Li Gang insisted on taking the helicopter back.

Seeing this, Li Yu had no choice but to let them board the helicopter.

Third Uncle and Old Qin also boarded the helicopter, which could accommodate 24 passengers and allow for some cargo.

So Li Yu instructed people to load items into the truck, including one military radio.

As the helicopter's rotor spun, it whipped up a gust of wind nearby.

Whirr, whirr, whirr—

The helicopter climbed into the sky, slowly disappearing from sight.

With this Mi-8 helicopter's flying speed, it can reach 260 kilometers per hour, from here to Zheng City is just 30 kilometers.

From here to Oil City is over 200 kilometers, it's estimated to take only one hour.

Yet, driving vehicles takes a good four or five hours.

No choice, roads in the apocalypse are hard to traverse, zombie outbreaks have long prevented maintenance, coupled with extreme heat and cold, causing roads to crack, then grow grass, if it weren't for roadside barriers, many parts wouldn't even be recognizable, nearly indistinguishable from dirt roads.

More importantly, these roads are extremely bumpy, driving on them feels like a roller coaster, bouncing up and down, and after a while, it makes one's backside and waist very uncomfortable.

"Alright then, let's go."

"By the way, Ju Tianrui, just as Third Uncle mentioned earlier, keep the military radio charged on the truck, they might arrive at Oil City earlier, you should monitor the radio for any incoming messages."

"Got it, Director Li." Ju Tianrui nodded and boarded the truck.

Li Yu looked at the trucks loaded with haul, the five military trucks filled with all kinds of military supplies and those small military pickups, they simply make one feel delighted.

In a great mood, Li Yu hummed a tune and got into the truck.

As the vehicle engines roared, amidst the rumbling, they drove south towards Oil City.

.......

About ten minutes after Li Yu and his crew left.

In the woods several hundred meters away, seven or eight figures suddenly appeared.

One man's eyes were filled with contemplation.

"How did they pull this off? Could they be from the military? I shouldn't....."

But no one responded to him.

And without staying long, they quickly left there as well.

Only the flattened grass remained, silently indicating others that someone had been here.
