Doomsday group favorite: I will win with my three brothers

Chapter 248 248 Have to Accept

Just when Liu Wanli and Zhao Shiyun were in a stalemate, Zhao Lexi had already arrived in City T.

Previously, Gao Jue guessed that it would be impossible for the ability to control zombies to cover such a long distance from the base to City T. Even if it had the ability to control zombies, such a long distance would consume a lot of energy. Therefore, there must be high-level zombies in City T helping it drive the zombies out, and there must be the smell of blood along the way to lead them accurately to the base for it to dispatch.

On her way here, she did smell a strong smell of blood, but she found a way to deal with any bloodstains she could see, either by burying them or storing them directly in a separate space.

Arriving at T City, she was not in a hurry. T City was very large, and it was impossible to find and kill all the minions left by the zombie. Her elder brother and Gao Jue had said that if the zombie was dead, the matter would be halfway successful, and the rest could be done slowly. Therefore, her goal was only to kill the zombies that drove the zombies out of T City. If there were any more hidden deeper, she would not consider them.

Inside the base, just as Zhao Shiyun and Gao Jue had expected, Liu Wanli finally took the initiative to offer to give up his position.

"Heroes have always been young. Lian Po is old now. I am no longer capable of this. The base still needs young people like you to take over."

Liu Wanli paused, and Zhao Shiyun keenly heard the hidden meaning in his words, it's you, not you. He nodded and said, "I understand. Managing the base is not a one-person job, and I'll need brother Qinggang's help in the future."

After receiving the assurance, Liu Wanli's tone became more relaxed, and the rest of the words came out more easily: "I did consider handing the base over to Qing Gang before. Although he has many shortcomings, it is also a helpless solution. From this zombie siege on the base, it can be seen that if Qing Gang took over, the base would have been breached by zombies today! But you are different, nephew Zhao. From every aspect, you are much stronger than Qing Gang."

Liu Wanli secretly observed Zhao Shiyun, and saw that he was indifferent to honor or disgrace. He sighed in his heart that his nephew was indeed far inferior to the young man in front of him. He didn't know whether Zhao Shiyun would be willing to keep him after he died.

"I knew that Zhang Gang and the others were leaving, but I didn't stop them. I just wanted to save as many lives as possible. I arranged for Qing Gang to leave the base with the convoy. I just wanted to leave a root for the Liu family. I didn't expect that the child would lose face. I guess he even blames me now. Qing Gang is not a bad kid, but he has limited abilities. If it was him this time, he would definitely not be able to defend the base!" The old man sighed again. Compared with Zhao Shiyun, his nephew was really not good enough. But after all, he was his relative, so he still had to make some plans for him.

At this point, Liu Wanli smiled and said, "I can't do it either, and he can't do it either. I will enlighten him later and let him understand that people need to stay in the right position to play the greatest role. If one's virtue is not in line with the position, there will be disaster."

Zhao Shiyun listened silently.

Once Liu Wanli makes a decision, he will not drag his feet. "I was the one who told Qinggang that I wanted him to take over the base, so don't blame him for not being able to change his mind for the time being, nephew. I will slowly persuade him later. You also know that among the three people, one has some ability but is hypocritical, selfish, and deep-minded, and is the least capable of taking on a big responsibility; one is good at fighting but completely ignores the consequences. If he takes power, the base will be in danger all the time; and the other one has little ability and is barely qualified to be a deputy. If he is really asked to make any decision, he will be hesitant and choose to protect himself. That's why I want to train Qinggang."

Zhao Shiyun did not respond, but listened carefully, acting like a junior.

The descendants of Zhuonan Zhao are indeed good.

Liu Wanli nodded secretly and continued: "Now it seems that you are the most suitable candidate, but I still have to say one more thing. Being the base commander certainly has supreme power, but the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Every decision you make is related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of survivors in the base! There were originally more than 20 million people in T City and the surrounding areas. It is not easy for so many of them to survive. I hope you can lead them to continue to live..."

The two of them spoke one after the other, and both were extremely serious.

At the same time, the number of zombies outside the base was gradually decreasing.

When it was completely dark, Zhao Lexi ran back to the base from T City.

At this moment, Zhao Shiyun had not come back yet. Li Hong immediately asked Zhao Lexi to wash her hands and eat.

Although Gao Jue and Zhao Shiyun did not directly say what happened today, everyone in the group had guessed about it.

The only one who was a little confused was Wang Weihui, but he was already exhausted, and he was relieved that the base was saved. He was so happy that he didn't have time to think about it. After dinner, he followed everyone back to the room to sleep, and fell asleep on the bed in a second.

Li Hong is a space-evolved person, and his main task is to help transport supplies to the front lines, so he is in good spirits now.

"Sister-in-law, where is my brother?"

"He hasn't come back yet." Li Hong wasn't worried about Zhao Shiyun. The more time she spent with him, the more she respected this man's abilities. He seemed to be able to do everything with ease. "But he should be back soon. Lele, eat quickly. Your brother won't be back too early. Go and rest after you finish eating."

"Ah."

Zhao Lexi quickly devoured the pot of stew and ten pancakes on the table. Feeling sleepy, she gave up trying to stay awake and went back to her room to sleep.

Liu Wanli saw Zhao Shiyun off and walked into his nephew's room.

Liu Qinggang, who was sleeping soundly, was immediately awakened.

Liu Wanli did not leave just because the young man was resting. Instead, he struck while the iron was hot and said what he wanted to say in one breath: "I didn't expect what happened today, but it's a good thing that the base is defended. Qinggang, you don't have to despise yourself. Survival is a human instinct. Besides, I am also responsible for this matter. I am sorry for you."

"Uncle..." At the most embarrassing moment, Liu Qinggang did feel resentment towards his uncle, as if this would make him feel better. But now, seeing this white-haired old man who was wholeheartedly planning for him apologizing and taking all the responsibilities, he immediately felt reluctant.

Liu Wanli continued: "Now that the overall situation has been decided, I will do my best to help Zhao Shiyun take over the entire base. He is the most suitable person. Some people are born to be kings, and some are born to be ministers. If you insist on changing, you will suffer disaster if you are not worthy of your position! Take this zombie siege for example. If you were the base commander, could you defend the base?" He simply told some of the things he knew and what Zhao Shiyun had done.

Liu Qinggang was very surprised when he heard Zhao Shiyun's name. He knew that this person was capable, but he didn't expect him to be so capable. However, the age difference between the two was not much. Liu Qinggang didn't say it, but he was dissatisfied in his heart: If I had the same resources as him, I might not be able to do it.

Liu Wanli seemed to see through his thoughts and said mercilessly: "Perhaps you will think that if you are given the same resources, you can also do well. But, have you ever thought about why the resources do not belong to you? I am the real base commander, and I can't even see the full picture of these resources. Why do you think you can do it? Are you sure you are better than me?"

Liu Wanli spoke the last sentence in a heavy voice.

He must wake up his nephew. If he can follow Zhao Shiyun wholeheartedly and not commit suicide, for his sake, he will still be a member of the base's senior management in the future. As long as the base is not destroyed, he can live well and live a good life. People come and go in the base, and the turnover is very high. Everyone tries their best to survive. Even if what happened today is embarrassing, how many people can remember it?

I hope he can understand my intentions.
