Since they didn’t waste time stopping to rest on the road, Li Yu and his group arrived at Xin City just after two o’clock in the afternoon.

They only needed another couple of dozens of minutes, approximately around three o’clock, to reach Big Camphor Tree Base.

Upon arriving at Xin City, they immediately saw a line of convoys ahead. Through the car window, Li Yu recognized those vehicles; they belonged to Xiao Hu and the other extra staff.

The trucks were also loaded with white PC sunshine panels.

At the same time, Xiao Hu and the others recognized Li Yu’s vehicle.

So they stopped their car, waiting for Li Yu’s group to come over.

As the vehicles got closer, Xiao Hu and Zhu Xiao got off from their vehicle. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Hello, Director Li," Xiao Hu said to Li Yu.

Li Yu rolled down the window and said to the two of them, "Are you transporting new construction materials?"

Xiao Hu nodded and said, "Yes, He Chao told us in the last couple of days to search for PC sunshine panels around here. It’s a new task."

Li Yu glanced at the PC sunshine panels on the truck and, after a little thought, guessed that these things were likely meant to be materials for outdoor greenhouses.

Looking at the time, it was already quite late.

So he said to Xiao Hu, "Alright, just in time, let’s head back together."

Xiao Hu nodded, then got into the car. Following behind Li Yu’s vehicle.

Li Yu’s convoy passed by the Big Camphor Tree’s Xin City stationing point. After a brief chat with the stationed personnel, they directly headed for Big Camphor Tree Base.

The sun was blazing, and the wind was anything but gentle.

They drove the vehicles, a long line of convoys, marching grandly toward Big Camphor Tree Base.

.....

Thirty minutes later.

They were less than a few kilometers from Big Camphor Tree Base. Li Tie had contacted the duty personnel at Big Camphor Tree Base in advance.

The one who received the message was Uncle. When he heard Li Tie’s voice, he felt relieved.

Li Yu and his group had been gone for four days, much longer than they had initially expected. They nearly thought something had happened to them.

At Big Camphor Tree Base, Li Yu was the absolute pillar of support. If anything happened to Li Yu, it would have a significant impact on the entire Big Camphor Tree Base.

The vehicles sped along.

Hai Chao and Gao Ru on the car had their heads covered with burlap sacks, they couldn’t see the surroundings, only aware they were in the car, moving for a long time.

Very soon.

Li Yu’s vehicles appeared under the walls of Big Camphor Tree Base, Uncle saw Dapao waving his hand in greeting.

Immediately, the gate was opened.

The vehicles slowly drove into Weng City; besides Li Yu’s vehicle, Xiao Hu and the others’ vehicles followed behind.

Dozens of cars entered Weng City simultaneously, occupying a large space.

Uncle also notified Father Li and Second Uncle, who came down from the wall.

Seeing Li Yu and his companions getting out of the car, their faces were filled with excitement.

"Dad, Second Uncle, Uncle." Li Yu said to them after getting out of the car.

"It’s good that you’re back. You were out for so long this time. I was just thinking if you didn’t come back soon, I’d go out to find you," Uncle said.

Li Yu said, "There were a few issues, which caused a delay, so we came back a bit later."

Second Uncle saw that Third Uncle also returned, so he asked, "Wasn’t the original plan to scout the Western Alliance?"

Li Yu explained, "It’s a long story, I’ll explain slowly to you later."

Second Uncle also noticed Li Yu and his group’s fatigue, so he didn’t press further.

Turning his gaze, he saw Xiao Hu and the others on the other side. So he said to Li Yu, "The outdoor greenhouse is already under construction, but we’re short of covering materials. Steel isn’t short, so I had He Chao publish a new task."

Li Yu nodded and said, "Hmm, alright, you handle it. Second Uncle, you better go be busy. Xiao Hu is still waiting over there."

Second Uncle saw Xiao Hu and the others still waiting on one side, so after a word with Li Yu, he went toward Xiao Hu.

The exchange must be done quickly, or else Xiao Hu would have difficulty returning to their stationing point later.

After the natural disaster, various exchange tasks in the base returned as before; almost every day, extra staff and cooperative personnel drove here to exchange for food.

Watching Second Uncle’s retreating figure, Li Yu casually found a place to sit down in Weng City.

The roads in the Doomsday, after the natural disaster, became particularly difficult to traverse. They had been in the car for several hours; their butts almost got jolted into two halves.

Once out of the car, their whole body felt like it was going to fall apart.

Uncle saw Li Yu and the others were very tired, so he didn’t hold them for questioning, just showed some concern and went back to his duty on the wall.

Li Yu and the others stayed in Weng City for more than ten minutes, finding there were no issues afterwards.

Then they proceeded to sort the items, weapons, and other materials level by level.

Each time after an assignment, the guns, bullets used would be logged to ensure knowledge of what was consumed after each operation.

Among them, after counting by Li Yuan and Yutong, it was found that Li Yu’s group returned with over two hundred various types of guns, a very small amount of food, some scattered miscellaneous items, all of which were sealed one by one.

The two trucks of rice ash had been inspected, with no issues found, and were also directly transported to the base’s inner city, dumped inside a factory building.

Seeing the gradually maturing Li Yuan, Li Yu felt at ease.

Even if he went far away, as long as he knew where he would eventually return, there was comfort in his heart.
