"No, it's that Cai State Ancient City. Third Uncle, do you think we should take the initiative to contact them?" Li Yu hesitated for a moment and said.

Third Uncle thought about it for a while, and after a while.

He opened his mouth and said: "I don't think it's necessary. It's a bit far from Oil City and their strength is not strong, so they won't pose a threat to us, and that place doesn't offer any benefits to us. It's better to maintain the status quo."

Li Yu nodded. He had no objection to Third Uncle's opinion.

Then he left the temporary conference room.

As he exited the conference room, he saw Luo and Xiao Jun surrounding Old Bi, listening to the experiences of this trip.

He smiled and shook his head, looking at the Oil City where many vehicles were parked, Li Yu thought quietly: Having left Big Camphor Tree Base for so long, it's about time to go back.

Just, everyone has been busy in the past week.

So Li Yu planned to let everyone rest for two days in Oil City before taking these things back.

After being busy, rare relaxation.

Li Yu sat on top of the RV, watching the sunset drop little by little. The sunset glow was very beautiful but extremely brief.

Suddenly, Li Yu sensed someone approaching. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

He turned his head and saw Zhong Chuchu walking towards him alone.

He immediately recalled the things he discussed with her a couple of days ago, asking her to give the people of Original Oil City a choice. Now she's coming over, probably to tell him the results.

"Director Li."

Li Yu jumped down from the roof of the RV and looked at Zhong Chuchu, saying: "What's up?"

Zhong Chuchu began to speak: "The two choices you asked me to present to them before, now we have the results.

A total of 87 people, 64 want to stay on this side in Oil City, and 23 want to go with us to Big Camphor Tree Base Headquarters in the south."

Zhong Chuchu's expression was somewhat complex as she said this.

Originally, she thought many people would go to the south together, but surprisingly, most people wanted to remain here.

Perhaps to them, staying in a familiar place is a better choice than going to a distant and unfamiliar place.

When Li Yu heard this, he pondered for two seconds. This result was somewhat different from what he expected.

Originally, he thought many people would follow to the south, but unexpectedly, more were staying here.

But in this way, it's better.

At least the pressure on Old Bi and the others stationed here will be lesser.

The Oil City's walls need to be repaired and heightened later on, and those who stay can be of help.

"Okay, I got it. Is there anything else?" Li Yu looked at Zhong Chuchu and asked.

"Well, according to the regulations of Big Camphor Tree Base, cooperative personnel can only exchange labor or materials for food. Earlier, during transportation, they took a two-meal portion of food, which is now finished. Do we have any tasks planned next?"

Zhong Chuchu hesitated for a moment, then spoke to Li Yu.

Upon hearing this, Li Yu realized that without Zhong Chuchu's reminder, he almost forgot about it.

Previously at Big Camphor Tree Base, he didn't need to consider this, it was naturally handled by Second Uncle.

He was able to keep the cooperative personnel consistently busy with tasks, ensuring they could exchange for food.

After Zhong Chuchu's reminder, Li Yu thought for a while and said: "Yes, we'll announce the tasks tomorrow. Just like at Big Camphor Tree Base, once completed, they can exchange for food. Don't worry."

Upon hearing Li Yu's response, Zhong Chuchu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She understands everyone, as long as they have something to eat and won't starve, it's normal to do some work.

After saying these, Zhong Chuchu mentioned to Li Yu and then left.

After she left, Li Yu immediately found Old Bi who was on duty at the wall.

"Director Li." Old Bi saw Li Yu coming over and quickly greeted him.

Li Yu didn't waste any words and got straight to the point:

"Old Bi, we'll be leaving this place for Big Camphor Tree Base in a few days. I'll leave thirty-five people to station here. Whatever you need, let me know as soon as possible. I'll try to meet your needs as best as I can.

Also, I just talked with Zhong Chuchu. Of those people taken from Motorcycle Gang to Original Oil City, over sixty have decided to stay.

These people will stay here as cooperative personnel from Big Camphor Tree Base to help operate refining equipment and repair the walls.

Everything follows the rules of Big Camphor Tree Base; labor or sourcing materials is exchanged for food.

The only difference is that these people live in Oil City.

I want to remind you to be cautious with these people. Even though Zhong Chuchu's endorsement and Big Camphor Tree Base Headquarters' deterrence exist, you're far away from Big Camphor Tree Base here, so be careful in everything!"

Li Yu said everything in one breath, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled out one, and threw the remaining pack directly to Old Bi.

Old Bi listened intently and after thinking for a long time.

He finally spoke: "Director Li, I have two requests."

Li Yu exhaled smoke, looked at him, and said: "Go on."

"First, give me five more people. For weapons, I want forty automatic rifles, forty handguns, twenty thousand rounds of ammunition, two heavy machine guns, two rocket launchers, two mortars. Also, I need those fixed anti-explosion suits, anti-explosion helmets to be equipped to me."
