Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1362: There is still an evil star hidden in the northwest

Li Yu stopped, pulled out the chair he had just put back, and sat down.

He was very curious why Qing Yuan asked him to go to the northwest.

Qing Yuan crossed his legs, thought for a few seconds and then said:

"The city lord still remembers that little poem, there is a line in it: There is still an evil star hiding in the northwest, and the song of peace cannot be sung everywhere."

"The future challenges of the Camphor Tree Base may be in the northwest. If you want to break through, you need to go to the northwest in person."

As the head of the Dazhangshu Base, Li Yu has experienced countless honors and disgraces. He is extremely important to the Dazhangshu Base.

It stands to reason that a gentleman should not stand on a dangerous wall, let alone he is the lord of a city.

If there is really a powerful enemy in the northwest as Qing Yuan said, then he must not put himself in danger.

However, when Li Yu heard Qing Yuan suggest that he leave the big camphor tree base and go to the northwest, he was not dissatisfied, but rather a little excited.

There is a crazy gene in his bones. He likes adventure, excitement, and fighting at the front.

But due to his identity as the lord of the Big Camphor Tree Base, he was well protected most of the time.

Even his second uncle and eldest uncle tried their best to dissuade him from going to the front line.

"The enemy in the northwest? Where exactly is he? How strong is he?" Li Yu asked while sitting in a chair, squinting his eyes.

This Qing Yuan is a bit too magical, even the enemy can calculate it?
Qing Yuan shook his head and said:

"They may not be enemies. I just predicted that the challenge from the Big Camphor Tree Base in the future will be in the northwest of the Big Camphor Tree Base. I don't know exactly where it is, let alone its strength."

Having said that, he added another sentence.

"In fact, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Challenges can also be opportunities."

This statement is too vague. The northwest direction of the large camphor tree base covers too wide an area.

Then he said that fortune and misfortune are interdependent. What the hell?
Let him say everything.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" Li Yu asked patiently.

Although Qing Yuan's words were extremely vague, based on Qing Yuan's previous performance, Li Yu still attached great importance to what he said.

What's more, five years have passed since my rebirth, and I no longer have the advantage of foresight. I must take this magical little Taoist priest who came to my door seriously.

"No more, City Lord." Qing Yuan bowed to Li Yu.

"Thank you, Taoist Qing Yuan. If you need any help later, you can go directly to He Chao and ask him to find me."

"Okay, you're welcome, City Lord."

Li Yu smiled and nodded, then left the room.

Qing Yuan looked at Li Yu's leaving back and fell into deep thought.

The reason why he took the initiative to remind him was that he saw that Li Yu had an excellent horoscope and was expected to prosper.

The apocalypse is currently in turmoil, and the life plate that Li Yu carries with him is the hope for ending this apocalypse.

He saw this.

Therefore, he would take the initiative to remind.

In fact, whether he says it or not, whether he does it or not, may not change the result.

However, he was eating and drinking for free at the camphor tree base, so he had to do something to repay them.

Besides, his reunion with his junior fellow apprentice was also thanks to City Lord Li. It would be wrong not to repay a favor received.

After coming out of the residential building in the outer city, Li Yu was thinking over and over again about what Qing Yuan had just said.

"northwest?"

"Do I have to go there myself to break the impasse?"

"The prerequisite for breaking through is definitely to encounter difficulties, otherwise there is no way to break through."

"What kind of challenges will the Northwest bring? Will it be humans, zombies, or..."

No matter what, after this natural disaster is over, we will send people to the northwest to investigate and see if there are any large forces.

Let’s go to the Northwest first. The Northwest is a vast country with a total of five provinces.

It occupies 32% of the country's total land area.

This range is quite wide, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Don't know if I can find it.
As Li Yu was thinking, he unknowingly came to the outer city wall.

Now that we've come this far, we'll climb up the wall to see the zombie tide, and also check on our second uncle and the others in the duty room.

The rainwater on the wall flowed along the small drainage ditches on both sides.

Li Yu climbed up the wall and saw a man standing on duty in the rain.

Tread-

Song Qi heard footsteps behind him and quickly turned around to look over here.

"City Lord? City Lord, you are here."

In these five years, Song Qi has grown from a young boy to a tall and mature young man.

From his eyebrows and eyes, one can see that he has some similarities with Song Min.

"Yeah, that's right." Li Yu nodded with a smile.

Song Qi looked at Li Yu with admiration, "Okay, City Lord, please slow down, the ground is slippery."

The duty room is just ahead.

As an important duty room in the large camphor tree base, the largest number of people always gather here.

Walking into Duty Room No. 1, we found that it has undergone several upgrades and renovations, and its area has increased a lot.

And all kinds of items and equipment are available inside.

The map of Oil City, the map of the Big Camphor Tree Base, the map of Gan City, and the map of the whole country were all posted on the wall.

My second uncle usually works here. Sometimes he is too lazy to go to the cafeteria at noon, so he eats here.

There are even several camp beds here where you can lie down and rest at night.

squeak-

Li Yu pushed open the door of the duty room, and there were more than a dozen people busy inside.

My second uncle stood by the wall, staring at the map of Oil City in a daze.

"City Lord."

"City Lord."

Li Yu smiled and waved to them, "You guys are busy, don't worry about me."

Hearing the voices of He An and others, Second Uncle turned his head and looked towards the door.

"Xiaoyu, you're here."

"Uncle, what are you thinking about, staring at the map?"

"It's been raining heavily. Your uncle gave the Type III medicine to Old Xie yesterday to take out and use. I don't know when this thunderstorm will end."

When Second Uncle said this, his brows were full of worry.

Like Li Yu, he was also worried about the Oil City.

Considering the current situation, Oil City might be able to hold out a little longer, but the trading bazaar can only last another month and a half at best.

A month and a half later, the thunderstorm disaster did not end and the trading market was closed.

Not only has all the hard work put in before been wasted, but the future development of the large camphor tree base will be even more difficult.

Li Yu just came over from Qingyuan and got a fortune from Qingyuan, which was about this matter. After hesitating for a few seconds, he still spoke:

"It should be soon."

"Oh?"

The second uncle looked at Li Yu with some doubt. He was not a fool and understood that what Li Yu said was definitely not groundless.

There must be something he doesn't know that makes Li Yu think so.

"Qing Yuan said that?"

"It's not that clear." Li Yu replied indifferently.

"Oh."

The second uncle was half-believing and half-doubting. Until now, he was still unwilling to believe the results of Qing Yuan's divination.

But the divination was correct these times, and this ironclad fact made him a little conflicted.

"There's one more thing."

"What?" Second Uncle looked at Li Yu in confusion.

Li Yu pointed to the small compartment in the duty room, which was used to store weapons and ammunition.

The second uncle immediately understood what Li Yu meant, which was that he didn't want others to hear it.

The two walked into the compartment.

"Qing Yuan said that the challenge to the Camphor Tree Base in the future will come from the northwest, but he did not make it clear whether this challenge will come from a certain force or something else."

"He said the key to breaking the impasse is for me to go to the northwest in person."

Li Yu roughly told his second uncle what Qing Yuan said.

When Second Uncle heard halfway through, especially when he heard that Li Yu was going to the northwest in person, his brows furrowed.

"What Qing Yuan said is too vague."

"Xiao Yu, you can't go. Not to mention that the Northwest is so vast, how are you going to find it? How long will it take? If this challenge is really directed at a powerful force, what if you run into it when you go there in person?"

"This Qing Yuan! Really!"

Second Uncle was a little wary and had begun to wonder if Qing Yuan had some plan.

He is just like that, always assuming the worst of people.

Seeing his second uncle so excited, Li Yu smiled bitterly and said:
"Uncle, don't get excited."

"I didn't say I'm going there right now, or as soon as the thunderstorm is over. The Northwest is so big, there's no point in running there like a headless fly."

"I definitely won't go over right away, but I don't think Qing Yuan is the kind of person who talks nonsense. He must have a reason for saying that."

"So, I want to wait until the thunderstorm is over and send a group of people to the northwest to explore. It would be great if we can find it, but if we can't, there's nothing we can do."

When the second uncle heard what Li Yu said, he understood.

"You mean, regardless of whether there is one or not, we should send someone to check it out first? But where should we look? The Northwest is so big?"

"Just search along the way. It depends on fate. To search such a large area, we need a huge amount of manpower. We don't have that many people. Even if we did, there's no need to waste too much manpower on this. At most, we can send a small team over.

If you can find it, look for it. If you can’t find it, come back.”

"When you fire a shotgun into the air, whether you hit the target or not depends entirely on luck." The second uncle used a metaphor to describe Li Yu's words.

"Uh, almost. That's what I mean."

After listening to the story, the second uncle smacked his lips and said, "Okay, we can also let the team explore the situation in the northwest. It has been so long since the end of the world, and we have never heard any news from the northwest, nor have there been any survivors from the northwest."

"So, this is why I sent someone over there."

To expand the base, we must gradually understand the overall situation of the environment.

Find out what large forces are around.

The development of the Dazhangshu base has always been relatively conservative and has never launched malicious attacks against the outside world.

Generally, they will fight back only when unfamiliar forces are greedy and don't care about their lives.

This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and the struggle between forces does not require any reason.

It is rare to have a partner like South Park that can form a strategic alliance.

If other forces possessed the strength of the Great Camphor Tree Base, they would have directly annexed South Paradise, killed Lord Tiger and the leadership of South Paradise, robbed their supplies, and had the rest either surrender or be taken as slaves.

But the Dazhangshu base did not do so. Instead, it adopted a method of interest bundling to play with this little brother.

But unknowingly, as South Park’s cooperation with Oil City deepened, there were actually some trends of integration.

Apart from anything else, South Paradise has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the trading market, and the sunk costs are huge. In the future, they will also participate in the management of this place, and they will definitely have to invest more.
Besides, Tiger Lord is old now. If Tiger Lord dies, who will be able to control South Paradise?
Ma Yingxue is Tiger Lord's adopted daughter and lives in Oil City.

"Then I agree. Just send a small team over. I agree."

"But who should we let lead the team? The northwest is not close to us, and this mission will probably take a long time."

"Second uncle." Li Yu suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"Ah."

"You said, why don't we just issue the mission directly? A big reward will attract brave men. After the natural disaster, we can simply issue a mission to explore the northwest at the Camphor Tree Base and the Trade Market.

As long as you gather information about the forces in the northwest, you will be rewarded greatly!"

After hearing this, the second uncle coughed and said:

"Well, the scattered survivors can't participate at all. They can't walk that far, and they don't have fuel or energy."

“You medium and large forces do have the ability to cross such a long distance, but we don’t know the situation in the northwest, so we can’t give them a destination.

That is to say, for them, going there may result in nothing. And this possibility is very high.

Besides, the cost of a trip there must be quite high.”

"Not to mention the food consumed on the road, the complicated road conditions and dangers encountered on the road were enough to make them retreat."

"It's difficult to travel thousands of kilometers just for such an unclear goal."

After hearing his second uncle's analysis, Li Yu felt that it made sense.

Touching my chin, the slightly raised stubble felt a bit prickly.

"So, this matter can only be done by our own people?"

"I think it is."

The second uncle continued:

"If we ask the survivors to help us search the northwest, the efficiency will be higher, but the northwest is too big, even if dozens of teams go there, it will be like a drop in the bucket.

On the contrary, with so many people running over there, what if there is really a powerful force in the northwest and captures these survivors?
Aren’t we exposed then?”

"It's impossible to rely on these survivors who have accepted the mission. They are willing to sacrifice their lives and not tell us any news about the Great Camphor Tree Base or Oil City. People are realistic."

"Ah."

Li Yu quite agrees with this point.

If the northwest that Qing Yuan mentioned is really a powerful force, then it would be best not to let them know the existence of the large camphor tree base.

Whoever knows the other party first will have more initiative.

I would rather not find the other person than let him/her know myself.

"What Second Uncle said makes sense. Let's send our own people to search." Li Yu nodded.

"I came to you to discuss this matter. As for the selection of candidates, let's wait until the natural disaster is over before we decide."

"Okay." Second uncle had no objection.
