Li Xue and the others returned safely, and the old general got the news immediately.

Ignoring the nagging of the general's wife, the old general took Xiao Tao and rushed to the villa where the Hope Team lived.

Li Xue was washing up in the room. When she heard the old general coming, she quickly packed up and left the room.

The old general's body recovered very well. With Qi Shishi's care, the old general's condition was much better than before the end of the world.

Knowing that the old general was concerned about the H base, Li Xue simply greeted him and told him everything about the base. The other members of the Hope Team were curious about the H base, and they all sat quietly and listened. After

listening to Li Xue's words, the old general said nothing and was silent for a long time.

"General, don't worry too much. The current situation of the base cannot be restored by you alone." Li Xue comforted him.

The old general sighed and said, "I really don't know what they will do to the base."

Li Xue didn't know how to answer the old general's question, so she just sat quietly by his side and accompanied him.

After a long time, the old general suddenly raised his head and said to Li Xue: "Girl Li, I have not been idle these days when you were away. I wandered around this Y city and found that this Y city is really a good place. The geographical environment here is much better than that of the H base. There are mountains and plains in Y city. No matter in which era, this is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and suitable for human survival. If..."

The old general looked at Li Xue, then looked at the others, and saw that they were listening carefully, and then continued: "Girl Li, if we build a base ourselves, right here in Y city, what do you think?"

This is what the old general has been thinking about these days. After listening to Li Xue's words, this idea has become stronger and stronger.

Although he was unwilling to have the power of the military seized, he was even more worried about the people in the base. But he also knew that with his current strength, it was impossible to kill back to H base and take back the power of the military. He now had less than a hundred soldiers, and he was unwilling to drag the Dragon Tiger Mercenary Corps into it. In order to protect him, the Dragon Tiger Mercenary Corps had been severely damaged, and more than half of the entire regiment had been lost.

But he couldn't watch the people in the base suffer, so he made this bold suggestion. If they set up a base here, there would definitely be survivors. He had a hunch that H base would sooner or later become chaotic, and he wanted to build a base here, hoping that those innocent people would have a place to stay when they were desperate.

But building a base is not that easy?

"Build a base..." Li Xue repeated lightly.

The others shouted in surprise. Building a base? This is too crazy!

The old general looked at Li Xue in surprise. He thought that Li Xue would be very surprised. Why is she so calm now? "Girl Li, what do you mean..."

"General, I didn't expect that you and I would think the same thing." Li Xue laughed.

"Do you mean that you also plan to build a base?" The old general was surprised. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman would have such a bold idea.

The people in the Hope Team were also very surprised.

"Build a base? That's good. This is a good idea!" Zhang Long's loud voice came from the door. Zhang Long strode towards them, followed by his younger brother Zhang Hu.

"Captain Zhang, you're here, come and sit down." Li Xue stood up and said to Zhang Long with a smile, "I was just about to ask Xiao Ye to invite you over to discuss this matter, so it saves us a lot of trouble."

"General, Captain Li, both of you can tell me about building the base." Zhang Long asked hurriedly before his butt even touched the chair.

Li Xue described the situation of H Base in detail again. "I have been thinking about this on the road these days. Instead of spending energy and manpower to fight back to H Base, why don't we build a base ourselves? After returning to H Base, we will just go back to the life of being restricted by others. Since we have the ability to be the master of our own house, why should we be controlled by others?"

"Also, there are too many unreasonable things in H Base, but because of the three-party checks and balances, those unreasonable things can't be corrected at all. I think, if we build a base with only one management system, those unreasonable things will not appear?" These unreasonable

things have always been a concern for Li Xue. The things in Qingfeng County, W City and Q City made Li Xue clearly see that there are huge loopholes in the management of H Base. However, these loopholes have not been improved due to the mutual constraints and buck-passing among the three forces.

Zhang Long slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Yes, I suffered a lot of bullying in this regard when I was in H base! It was obviously a very simple thing, but it was made extremely troublesome. Not only the managers were furious, but the people in the base also complained. If we build the base ourselves, there will be only one management system, which will save a lot of trouble."

The old general pondered for a long time. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that building a base was very feasible. He clapped his hands and said: "Then let's build a base here! This Y city is a Feng Shui treasure land. Building a base here will be much safer than H base. We don't have many people now, so let's build a small base first. If the population increases in the future, we can slowly expand it. What do you think?"

"Good, good!" Zhang Long applauded.

Li Xue also nodded in agreement.

Others cheered in approval. It was exciting to think about building a base of their own!

"Since we have decided to build a base, who will be the manager of this base? There must be a leader." The old general asked.

"Of course it's you, old general!" Li Xue and Zhang Long said in unison. In terms of seniority and experience, it is of course the respected old general who can do the job.

"Don't even think about it! I am an old man. I want to live a few more days and enjoy my life." The old general refused without thinking. Although he was the first to propose this suggestion, he had no intention of taking charge of the new base. He was old and no longer had that much passion and strength. He had always wanted to return to H base to take back the military headquarters, but he didn't want the people of H base to suffer. But there are already two young men in front of him, so of course he, the old guy, can have some free time.

Li Xue and Zhang Long were dumbfounded, they really hope that the old general will take charge of the overall situation.

"Captain Zhang, why don't you be the leader." Li Xue said first.

"No, Captain Li, you can't be like this, I treat you as a friend, you can't be so disloyal?" Zhang Long shook his head like a wave drum. "I think Captain Li, you are the most suitable candidate!"
