Chapter 104 Collaborators
The families that lost supplies at the base were all small families, and their combined power was not as great as that of the Li family or the Gu family. As for Zhuang Mingxu, Wu Yue himself had even lost his men, so naturally he did not have the strength to pursue the matter.
In the end, the Li family took in Li Ji and his followers in their home on the pretext of sheltering people with special abilities, and paid for part of the supplies for the others to put an end to the matter.
As soon as the matter was settled, Wu Yue immediately asked Captain Li in front of everyone to send someone to be a witness so that he could "clean up the house."
In addition to Longmen Villa, Zhuang Mingxu originally occupied several villas and also a building outside as housing for the increasing number of people in the future. Although the Li family compensated for part of the supplies, it was less than one-tenth of what Zhuang Mingxu had originally collected.
He directly distributed these supplies to those who had collected them together. As for the future, those who wanted to leave could leave, and those who did not want to leave and wanted to continue living there could pay rent based on the current supplies in the base.
It was obvious that several people who had been hanging out with Li Ji were not convinced, but these houses were originally bought by Zhuang Mingxu with his own supplies. Not only did the military have evidence, but Captain Li also obviously had a good relationship with Zhuang Mingxu, so they would not gain anything by making a fuss, and in the end most of them took the supplies and left.
As for the remaining people, Wu Yue also picked out and abandoned a few traitors he knew. There were less than twenty people left, including their families. There were only three left of the main force that followed them to collect supplies at the beginning, and none of them had special abilities. The others were family members, most of whom were families of those who were taken out by Li Ji to find supplies and never returned.
Wu Yue couldn't drive them away, but if he continued to support them, the others would definitely not accept it. In the end, Wu Yue used his own supplies to subsidize a few families and let them make a living on their own.
Anyway, what he got now was said to be compensation from the Li family. If you think about it carefully, it was gained by taking advantage, so he didn't feel any pain at all to give it away.
The four villas were originally crowded, but now not even one of them is fully occupied. Wu Yue looked at the empty villas, feeling filled with emotion.
The people who followed Li Ji were taken to another villa by the Li family, which was not far from here. Even when they left, Li Mingli and his brother proudly told Wu Yue that Zhuang Mingxu was dead.
The other three people who didn't know the inside story were so incited that they wanted to go forward and beat people up, but were stopped by Wu Yue. He looked at the crowd who were leaving sarcastically and coldly, "Go away."
After this group of people left, Wu Yue sent away the person sent by Li Mu to testify for him, or it would be more appropriate to call him the person who supported him. After sending him away, he took a deep breath and lay down on the sofa in the living room.
Finally, the man was driven away.
When Wu Yue found out that his men had betrayed him one by one, he thought he would be the one to be driven out. Now, not only were the supplies not lost, but a group of traitors were also cleared out and the villa was also saved.
“Hahahaha…” Wu Yue felt that he had hope again, and he raised his head and laughed.
Bai Miao, who was left behind, was still immersed in the sadness of Li Mingli saying that Zhuang Mingxu was dead. When he heard Wu Yue laughing, his first reaction was that he was crazy, and he hurriedly comforted him, "Brother Wu, we can look for more supplies if we lose them. Now that Mr. Zhuang is gone, you are our backbone, and you must not be in any danger."
"Yes, Old Wu, let's just look for it again," Shen Xing on the side also hurriedly said.
"Xiao Wu, it's not a big deal, you must not take it too hard." Chen Zhong, the other one who stayed behind, reached out and patted Wu Yue on the shoulder.
"What are you thinking about? I'm fine." Wu Yue sat up relaxed and instructed Bai Miao, "Xiaobai, go get a few cans of beer. Let's celebrate. We finally drove them away."
"Hey" Bai Miao saw that he really didn't look like he was in trouble, so he immediately responded and trotted over with a few cans of chilled drinks.
The only four people, after drinking a few cans of toast, asked again about their future plans.
"We don't go out to look for supplies. If we go out right after we separate, there's no guarantee that we won't be targeted. Anyway, the supplies we've been allocated are enough. Let's stay in the base first and wait for Mingxu. I always feel that he won't die so easily."
While the commotion was going on here, Li Zhuang and Ning Yuan had already returned to where Zhuang Mingxu lived, while Lu Weiyi was assigned to Li Dongsheng, who provided him with supplies and asked him to exchange them for pearl cores and jade.
In the evening, Li Zhuang and Ning Yuan appeared in the base with the disguised Antonio and Lin Yimu. They still registered fake information of ordinary people. This time they did not go back to the smelly Orange Hotel, but temporarily rented a two-bedroom apartment.
They thought the problem would be solved quickly, but Li Ji and the others did not go out on the mission right away after they went to Li's house, which resulted in them having to wait at the base.
After disguising himself during the day, Ning Yuan went to the trading market with Li Dongsheng to purchase pearl cores and jade. Lin Yimu and Li Zhuang went out to gather information. Antonio's image was still a bit conspicuous even after appearing several times in disguise, so he followed Lu Weiyi at home to strengthen his supernatural powers.
Wu Yue came secretly once at night, got to know the people brought by Lu Weiyi, and asked Lu Weiyi and Zhuang Mingxu again when they would be back.
"I want to wait until Li Ji and the others are dead before letting Zhuang Mingxu come back. This way it will be safer," said Lu Weiyi.
"No one is allowed to kill in the base. Even if Mingxu comes back after being injured, it is impossible for them to come and cause trouble," Wu Yue disagreed. "Besides, I heard from people who went out these two days that the zombies outside are obviously more powerful. There is no guarantee of safety when living outside the base."
"..." Lu Weiyi was silent for a long time and decided to tell Wu Yue directly, "Zhuang Mingxu's kneecap was broken by Li Ji and now he needs to use a wheelchair."
Wu Yue suddenly sat up from the stool, "What did you say?"
He looked at Ning Yuan and Lin Yimu, and saw that they both nodded silently. He was so angry that his eyes turned red. He walked back and forth in the living room with heavy breathing. "That bastard, I have to chop him up, I want to chop him up..."
"It's not just that." Lu Weiyi spoke again. Wu Yue took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and asked, "What else?"
"My space is a bit large. When I went to rescue Zhuang Mingxu, I took away all the supplies and weapons that Li Ji had hidden in Dongshan County. If he had said more to the Li family..."
Everyone understands the principle that it is a crime to possess a treasure.
When Wu Yue first heard the first half of the sentence, he felt a sense of revenge, but he calmed down after the second half, "It seems that we must kill them before Mingxu comes back."
"Wait a little longer," Lu Weiyi said.
"I heard that people from the Li family and the Gu family have come to you, wanting to exchange supplies for other villas and the vacant building outside?" Lin Yimu asked Wu Yue.
"Yes, I didn't agree. That building is very close to the military residence and is relatively safe. It's not cost-effective to give it away," Wu Yue replied, "This time, it is thanks to Captain Li's help, otherwise we might not be able to drive Li Ji and the others out."
As Wu Yue spoke, he thought of something and looked up at Ning Yuan, "Our supplies are all with Lu Weiyi. Can I take out some and donate it to the military? They have a lot of people and their life is not easy. In addition, the Li and Gu families have been trying to seize power and have been ostracizing them. I think of them when I'm working hard, but I can't bear to give them away when I want to receive benefits."
"Of course you can, but everyone knows how much supplies you have. If you give them to the military at this time, it will obviously arouse suspicion," Ning Yuan said.
"Too……"
"However, we can get some water," Ning Yuan looked at Lu Weiyi, "How much water do you have? Do you want to let Wu Yue go and get some water in exchange for some supplies?"
Lu Weiyi had been so anxious these days that he had forgotten about this matter for a moment. When Ning Yuan mentioned it, he immediately remembered his own well and nodded, "There are still a lot left. We can exchange them for supplies. Ask the Li family and give them all to them" to make a big profit from them.
"Water is very precious in the base nowadays. If you have water, you should save it for your own use." Wu Yue disagreed with their idea.
"It's okay, take it and change it."
As the heavy snow is approaching, people with special abilities will emerge like mushrooms after the rain, especially those with water, earth and wood abilities. Eight out of ten people will have special abilities. When the time comes, they will drink water to relieve their stress, so mineral water will naturally not be so valuable.
Since he was able to make some money from supplies before this, he felt that the days of waiting were worth it, so he directly asked Ning Yuan to discuss with Wu Yue how to get this batch of water through.
I don’t know what Ning Yuan said to Wu Yue in private, but after a while Wu Yue, who had been opposing, began to support it, but his attitude was a little hesitant.
However, this did not affect the actions of the two men at all. They made a plan that day and asked Wu Yue to go directly to Li Mu and tell him that some of the supplies that Zhuang Mingxu had hidden for Lu Weiyi in advance, including a large amount of drinking water, would be donated to the military.
The other part wanted to exchange some supplies with the military as witnesses. In order to ensure the authenticity of the plan, they asked Lu Weiyi to put water into the basement of a small villa where they used to live.
There was a shortage of water-based psychics, and even if there was some water released, it would not be enough for two people to drink. Most people were in dire need of water. When Wu Yue said this, Li Mu wanted to agree on the spot, but he still had some doubts, "Why would Zhuang Mingxu leave so much water in advance?"
"You know, after the earthquake, all the water pipes and electricity circuits were paralyzed. Mingxu felt that drinking water would be in short supply for a short period of time. We were just hoping for a lucky break. It wouldn't be difficult to save more, so we just saved some. No one expected that we would have to rely on these things to survive now." Wu Yue smiled bitterly. The grown man looked a little depressed, no longer the high-spirited man he was a month ago when he followed Zhuang Mingxu.
Li Mu couldn't help but sigh, "Now our army is indeed seriously short of water. I won't be polite with you. When can you go to get it? I will let the soldiers go with you. Including when you change supplies later, I will have people accompany you to ensure that no one dares to do anything bad."
"I feel relieved with your words. I was thinking of waiting a little longer. Maybe Mingxu will come back, and we can last for a while after changing this batch of water," said Wu Yue.
Li Mu patted Wu Yue on the shoulder, without saying anything to comfort him, and introduced a major named Li Yan beside him to Wu Yue.
