Chapter 593: Mist. A visitor from the prosperous Tang Dynasty
Captain Guo felt the pressure. If he made the wrong decision, it would probably put everyone in dire straits. He had seen how those so-called gangs or groups treated the elderly, women and children. He had previously wanted to hand over the shelter to the four gangs in the hope that they could check and balance each other.
The two chatted for a while before Li Qing realized what he meant. He felt a little unhappy, but he didn't show it. He asked Captain Guo to think about it carefully. It was definitely the best choice to hand over the entire shelter to him.
"I won't force you to make a decision, Captain Guo," Li Qing said, "but after you leave, the shelter will be in chaos. Think carefully about what to do to benefit the shelter."
Li Qing said goodbye to Captain Guo and returned to the primary school. He immediately called a meeting of the key personnel and told everyone about the conversation between the two.
Shen Changyuan was immediately unhappy, "He went back on his word."
Li Qing explained, "Before, he asked us to help take in a small number of people. Now we want the entire shelter, so it doesn't count as going back on our word."
Shen Changyuan, "What does he mean? He wants to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail me?"
Li Qing shook his head and looked at Chu An.
Chu An was not worried. They only had seven days. After seven days, the shelter would be unattended. If they could not take over smoothly, they would have to rely on suppression by force or persuasion.
The reason why Li Qing was asked to negotiate was because he wanted the supplies from Shengtang and Mengshi. If Captain Guo didn't approve, the supplies would naturally be gone, but this was not the only way to go.
"How about we build the base somewhere else?" Lao Chu asked tentatively. Others had the same idea, but no one dared to say it. After all, it would cost too much to build a new base.
"Oh, I just can't figure it out. It was clearly Captain Guo who asked us to help arrange people, and now he's even raising his voice. Did we agree too readily?" Shen Changyuan sighed.
"Let him hang around for a few days." Jinli also felt that Captain Guo was a bit too much. "This is obviously looking down on us. He thinks that we are gang members who only know how to fight and kill."
Koi hit the nail on the head, but it also touched everyone's sore spot. They really have no experience in managing a base, and if they just do things based on enthusiasm, they may end up with nothing.
Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, Chu An comforted them and said, "I want a shelter not to save supplies, but for the piece of land in the rich area on the mountain."
"Earth?" Li Qing was surprised.
"Yes, it's land." Chu An explained, "I haven't seen anyone growing crops in the entire Qing City. It's not that they don't want to grow crops, but they can't."
Gu Ye suddenly realized that the old man they met today had always wanted to farm and had tried to farm secretly, but to no avail because acid rain had changed the soil and seedlings could not grow in most places.
He was robbed today because he wanted to take some seeds to the rich area to try it out, but was accidentally discovered by his family, leading to the tragedy.
Of course he couldn't get in, but he could try to find a place at the foot of the mountain. The old man said he had this idea after seeing the crops half a man's height on the mountain.
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on. Lao Chu slapped his thigh and said, "If you want to survive, you have to farm well."
After Chu An’s reminder, everyone no longer thought about it, but the shelter seemed to have become a tough nut to crack, giving people a headache.
Chu An asked Li Qing to wait quietly, as there were still six days left.
Everyone waited for five days, but Captain Guo did not compromise. Finally, Sheng Tang sent a team to look for He Jingze.
The leader of the team is Li Guanshan, who is in his forties. He used to be the owner of an outdoor goods store. He likes outdoor adventures, has good personal qualities, and knows how to survive in extreme conditions. After the end of the world, he led his neighbors through all the difficulties without much suffering. He also trained a doomsday survival team, which was incorporated into the Shengtang Base and belonged to the mobile team.
They drove four off-road vehicles and two military trucks, and they were very impressive. After arriving in Qing City, they went to the shelter first. Captain Guo told them that Li Qing had been to Yilian Mountain and returned safely, so they came to inquire about the news.
Li Guanshan brought five of his men to visit Li Qing at the elementary school. On the surface, they were quite polite, but in fact, they walked with their necks held high and their eyes looking up at the sky, looking very arrogant.
Li Qing had no choice but to receive them and sent someone to inform Wang Guan, telling him that he didn't have to come out if he didn't want to see these people.
Wang Guan felt that it was unnecessary, and Li Rong would be here sooner or later, so they would know each other's identities, so it would be better to admit it now.
Li Qing randomly found an office on the first floor for reception. It was fully equipped with tables, chairs and benches to ensure that guests would not have to stand while talking.
When the two sides met, they exchanged a few pleasantries. Li Guanshan then asked about Yilianshan's situation. Li Qing knew what he meant, so he introduced Wang Guan and asked Wang Guan to tell them the actual situation.
"You don't have to go to Yilianshan." Wang Guan said politely, "He Jingze chose to stay at the nuclear test base. I made several copies of his experimental notes. You can take one back with you."
Li Guanshan was extremely surprised by this result. It only took him ten days from the start to here, which was considered fast. Not only did they find Mr. He, they also copied all the information.
"Ahem...How can you prove that what you said is true?" Li Guanshan asked.
Wang Guan, "You can take the experimental data back and verify it."
"If it's fake, we have to come back." Li Guanshan's deputy said unhappily, "Going back and forth is not only dangerous, but also consumes a lot of supplies."
Wang Guan and Li Qing looked at each other, as if they had no obligation to listen to their complaints.
"Well... this time, the rescue of He Jingze was initiated by our C City, and we didn't intend to ask you to assist us." Wang Guan said bluntly, "As for whether you believe me or not, how to arrange the future is none of my business. You can ask Sheng Tang for instructions."
Li Qing added, "You can enter the Yilian Mountains if you want. But be careful of the fire ants, wolves, and giant snakes."
The people on the other side looked unhappy, but they couldn't say anything to object. Finally, Li Guanshan said, "We are just curious about your efficiency, nothing else."
"In fact, we found He Lao's team in three days." Wang Guan was not modest at all. "I stayed here for a few days to wait for talents. If there is nothing else, I will go to get the copy now. If you get it earlier, you can go back and report earlier."
Li Guanshan smacked his lips, feeling like he was being fooled.
"What about Squad Leader Mou?" asked Li Guanshan's deputy.
"I returned to Sheng Tang. I set off five days ago." Wang Guan answered truthfully.
"What?" The deputy's face immediately turned cold. "Why didn't he wait for us? He really didn't take the mobile team seriously."
Wang Guan frowned immediately. No wonder Mou Ci said when he left that if this group of people caused trouble, he should let them go back to Sheng Tang to find him.
"Have you made an appointment?" Li Qing asked with a frown.
"Ahem... No, that's not the case." The deputy replied unnaturally.
"Since there is no appointment, isn't it normal for them to go back?" Li Qing no longer had the politeness he had when he first received them. Sometimes a few words could tell what a person or a team was like. "Everyone, I have something else to do, so I won't keep you company."
