The repair of the wall, the lower part has already been completed, now it's being raised on the original foundation.

After going down, the two settled down, busy with their respective tasks.

By noon, they had half an hour to rest.

No food was distributed to them at noon, usually it was given together at the end of the day.

So they each sat by the wall to rest.

They all came from different places, so during rest, they formed groups of threes or twos.

Wan Nian naturally found Bao along with a few others, and sat near the gate by the wall.

The nearest people to them were five or six meters away.

The five lined up in a row, Wan Nian said somewhat hoarsely: "Get some water, didn't they get a few buckets?"

Bao tossed the bottle in his hand over and said: "Here!"

Wan Nian nodded and then drank a few sips.

Bao took out the dry food he saved these days from his pocket, whispered to the others: "Eat it all, then we'll have strength to work in the afternoon."

Upon hearing this, the others no longer ate stingily like before, splitting a cake into two meals.

They ate the dry food in big bites, which caught the attention of some other cooperative personnel nearby.

A middle-aged woman who looked somewhat robust, sporting short hair, spoke to Wan Nian:

"Wan Nian, eating so much at once won't help you manage your days well. You expect food to be distributed again today afternoon, right? I'd say you should still save some food for emergencies."

Upon hearing this, Wan Nian looked up at the middle-aged woman not far away.

He recognized her; they were from the same village.

So he smiled and said: "Aunt Zhao, I'm really too hungry. If I don't eat enough, I can't withstand the activity in the afternoon."

Aunt Zhao shook her head without voicing her thoughts.

Don't know how to take it easy....

If one idles for another day, there's another day of food, and it feels quite good.

Seeing Aunt Zhao staying silent, Wan Nian no longer felt like chatting with her.

"Take this time to rest, and in the afternoon, don't work as if you're fools, save some energy, wait for the opportunity, and watch my signal."

"Okay."

"Okay."

.....

Time slowly passed, and soon the rest period was over, and they resumed their repair work in the afternoon.

Sitting in the meeting room, Li Yu inexplicably felt something was amiss.

This sensation was like someone was constantly blowing wind on the back of your head.

Li Yu frowned slightly; since his rebirth, his sense of danger, honed in his past life, had significantly improved.

But this kind of ambiguous and uncomfortable feeling was the first of its kind, unlike the usually intense sixth sense.

"Did I sleep wrong?" Li Yu touched the back of his head, feeling a chill.

But after tilting his neck left and right, everything felt smooth, so it probably wasn't sleeping wrong.

He sat in the chair thinking for a long time but couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Forget it, if it can't be figured out, take it as it comes. I can't foresee what might happen though."

Li Yu mumbled to himself, tilting his head.

By four-thirty in the afternoon, it would be another half hour before food was distributed to numerous cooperative personnel.

Li Yu stood up and walked toward the wall.

Whether at the Big Camphor Tree Base or here in Oil City, he seemed to have an obsession with walls.

Even when performing missions outside, camped in some open wilderness, he would check the surroundings at night or at dusk.

He's always cautious; this task he's reluctant to delegate to others.

Anyway, a round of inspection to check for issues can be done within half an hour.

Today, the focus was to see the progress of the wall; Old Bi mentioned some people were lazy, but they had a way to deal with it, such as deducting or halving food of the lazy.

Habitually, he tucked the handgun into the waist, a dagger by the thigh, holding an automatic rifle in his hand.

Generally, when Li Yu leaves the Inner City, he carries an automatic rifle.

Even within the Inner City, he has two handguns on him.

Li Tie saw Li Yu heading toward the wall and said: "Brother, should I go with you?"

Li Yu smiled and said: "No need, focus on selecting the location for that Transfer Station. Pay some attention to this task."

"Okay." Li Tie nodded, thinking that with his brother's skills, no problem should arise, so he didn't insist further. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Instead, he discussed it with Dapao and a few others nearby.

Li Yu slowly walked toward the main gate, intending to climb the wall beside the scaffolding near the gate.

While, next to the main gate, Bao was anxiously waiting.

Why hasn't he come yet?

Wan Nian asked him several times, but each time Bao calmed him down.

He too was worried. If not today, not tomorrow, there would be no more chance later.

As he turned around with the steel bar in his arms, he suddenly saw Li Yu approaching.

Bao was overjoyed.

"Bao!" Not far away, Wan Nian also saw Li Yu coming over and whispered to Bao.

"Prepare." Bao signaled to a few people nearby, giving them a glance.

One person by the mixer pretended to go move cement.

Wan Nian and Bao, working with the steel bars, quickened their pace, ready to finish tying them before Li Yu arrived, so they could walk to the scaffolding together.

Meanwhile, two other people were figuring out how to get closer.

"Hmm?" Li Yu leisurely walked over, observing that the cooperative personnel in front suddenly sped up their work pace.

Are they afraid of being called lazy by him?

Li Yu chuckled, feeling the same as pre-Doomsday when the boss approached, and he pretended to be busy.

He didn't pay much attention.

But as he approached, the chill at the back of his head intensified.

Li Yu's heart grew wary; what's going on?

With a casual glance, he could sense that those people seemed to be sneaking glances at him.

Their eyes were... interesting.

Li Yu watched closely and noticed someone seemed to be hiding something sharp in their arms.

No!

Those eyes, they seem wrong!

The sense of crisis in his heart intensified as he approached.

Could these people be planning to do something to him?

Why?

Li Yu was confused but remained calm, face expressionless, pretending he hadn't noticed anything, continuing to walk toward them.

And not far from Wan Nian, Noble Consort was pushing a small cart, transporting cement to the mixer.

Incidentally, she too saw Li Yu. Seeing this young man, Noble Consort felt thankful, so whenever Li Yu appeared, she subconsciously glanced over.

Li Yu began assessing these people with his peripheral vision.

He started to observe how many were plotting against him.

The two tying steel bars already looked over thirteen times, all towards this side.

The one at the mixer, their walking speed was deliberately slow, obviously to buy time until he approached.

Hmm?

Why's Noble Consort here, always watching?

Could she be involved as well?

Li Yu thought of this, his eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

He believed in his judgment, did he misjudge?

One, two, three, four, five.

Noble Consort approaching? Uncertain.

Li Yu's body remained relaxed, while his hand was ready to fire at any moment.

Approaching.

Wan Nian watched Li Yu approach, and with Bao, they stood up in marked agreement.

Then, lifting the tied steel bars, they walked toward the scaffolding.

Li Yu also happened to be approaching the scaffolding from the other side.

The two parties converged.

Five meters.

Three meters.

One meter.

Li Yu was in front, Bao and Wan Nian carried the steel bars from behind.

Bao and Wan Nian quietly pulled out two steel bars, which they had prepped and sharpened, intending to lunge at Li Yu.

Two cries rang out simultaneously.

"Watch out!" A sharp scream, it was Noble Consort who had been observing Li Yu and now saw this scene.

"Now!"

Bao shouted.

Bao and Wan Nian lunged, steel bars sharpened, aimed at Li Yu's back.

According to their plan, they intended to control him first and then threaten him.

Sharp steel bars reflected under the sunlight.

Suddenly.

Li Yu's scalp tingled, a strong sense of crisis crept from behind.

"Ah! So this was the feeling earlier. I understand now." Li Yu was somewhat pleased; no wonder he felt out of sorts during the day.

He didn't expect his sense for danger to be this sharp.
