Chapter 550: Uncovering the mystery

"No, I didn't lie to her."

Yun Shuhuai showed a sly smile and said, "First of all, we really couldn't stay there any longer. In fact, it was because I was bored there, so I wanted to go out for a walk, and Xi Ling and the others wanted to accompany me; and Xi Ling was indeed at odds with the military because of Qin Ye's matter. But..."

"Xi Ling's feud with them has nothing to do with me, Yun Shuhuai. Actually, I have a pretty good relationship with the military. We have worked together many times. General Lu even said that I look like his daughter."

Yun Shuhuai put on an innocent expression and said, "Look, I didn't lie. She just misunderstood."

Cheng Xiuyi narrowed his eyes and said, "You are deliberately misleading her. It seems that you have discovered something."

"Yes, but I think my discovery is too outrageous, so I want to ask you to confirm it."

Yun Shuhuai looked

at him seriously and said, "Then, General Cheng, can you tell me the real reason?" Cheng Xiuyi looked at Yun Shuhuai for a while, sighed and said, "Actually, I also think it's outrageous. I believe you have guessed it. It was all Jiayi's idea."

Yun Shuhuai understood and continued to listen to Cheng Xiuyi.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that my sister has grown a lot after the apocalypse. Her growth is reflected in many aspects. Of course, the biggest one is leading us to build a base and collect supplies. Not long after the apocalypse, she collected a large amount of supplies, enough for us to support the entire base." "

Moreover, the means of preventing and dealing with zombies she proposed are also very effective. It is also because of her presence that the base was able to deal with zombies with ease in the early days of the apocalypse and avoided a lot of unnecessary casualties. Therefore, everyone trusts her."

"She has established a great influence between the military and the survivors. Although she rarely goes to the barracks, to be honest, her influence is even greater than mine, and her authority in the military is higher than mine."

"Later, she learned that we were in contact with the H City base, but for some reason, she suddenly and forcefully demanded that we cut off communication with them. Her reasoning was that we could still protect ourselves in the apocalypse and it was impossible for us to control other people. Anyway, in the apocalypse, the two bases were tens of thousands of miles apart, and apart from verbal communication, we could not provide any practical help. It would be better to cut off contact early and concentrate on developing our own base."

"So you compromised?" Yun Shuhuai asked.

"Yes, we wanted to persuade her at first, but she refused to agree and threatened us with supplies. We had no choice but to compromise."

After saying that, Yun Shuhuai smiled and looked at Xi Ling and said, "Alas, I'm afraid General Lu didn't expect that the reason they were worried was so absurd. Right, General Lu."

She lowered her head and spoke to the satellite phone on the table.

"What?"

Cheng Xiuyi looked at Yun Shuhuai with vigilance, "So you have been keeping this phone on?"

"Yeah, don't be so nervous, I just think that if I were to relay such an absurd reason, General Lu might not believe it, so let the person involved, Lieutenant Colonel Cheng, speak for him, you won't be angry, will you?"

Cheng Xiuyi: ...

Why should he be angry? Although he felt that he was tricked by Yun Shuhuai, he was not angry. Now facing the leader of the H City base, he only felt guilty.

"Lieutenant Colonel Cheng...right? You are Cheng Shize's son. Hello, I am Lu Zheng stationed in the Central Military Region." General Lu's deep voice came from the phone.

Cheng Xiuyi took a deep breath and answered the phone, saying, "Hello, General Lu, I'm Cheng Xiuyi."

The expected complaints or criticisms did not come, but the other party laughed heartily: "Hahaha, General Cheng is really young and promising. I've heard that Cheng Shize has a very promising son who has become a lieutenant colonel at a young age. Unfortunately, we are stationed in different military regions and have never met. Now I hear that his reputation is well-deserved. Don't be so unfamiliar. I graduated from the same military academy as your father when I was young. Just call me uncle."

"Ah, Lu... hello."

Cheng Xiuyi never expected that after the other party heard that he had rejected them with such an outrageous reason, he could still speak to him so calmly.

"Don't be so reserved. I heard from Shu Huai that everything is fine over there. We finally breathed a sigh of relief over the past year. We couldn't contact you and thought something had happened."

"Uncle Lu, I'm really sorry." Cheng Xiuyi said sincerely.

In his opinion, it was S City that abandoned them. As soldiers, they always cared about him, but this side easily abandoned them.

Although they were all for their own survival in the end times, they still felt ashamed when they really faced General Lu.

Lu Zheng said: "Forget it, this is not your problem. I understand. Let the past be the past. We have no reason to pursue it. So, what are you going to do in the future? Or will you not interfere with each other?"

Cheng Xiuyi did not answer, but asked: "Uncle Lu, may I ask, how is the situation in H City? Are the survivors all right?"

So many strong men from Chiye ran over from H City. For Cheng Xiuyi, I am afraid that the military strength of H City is not very optimistic.

"Everything is fine here. Thanks to Shuhuai, they helped us solve many problems and left a lot of good things. Even if they leave, we can still develop well and everyone's life is getting better and better."

Lu Zheng did not reveal too much, but listening to his relaxed tone, Cheng Xiuyi could also know that he was telling the truth.

The H City Base did not decline faster without Chi Ye as Cheng Jiayi said. Instead, it seemed to be doing better.

"Uncle Lu, regarding future development, I want to go back and discuss with my father. I believe you also know that regarding my sister, her opinion is really important to our entire S City. Don't worry, I will persuade her well this time."

"Okay, then I will wait for your good news."

After saying that, General Lu hung up the phone.

"How did the discussion go?" Yun Shuhuai asked him.

Cheng Xiuyi let out a long breath, as if relieved.

"I will solve it after I go back."

"So, are you planning to establish contact with the H City Base again?"

Cheng Xiuyi nodded, "I will persuade Jiayi."

He had not agreed to Cheng Jiayi's request before, but he had no choice.

Cheng Jiayi could compromise on everything else except this.

Yun Shuhuai put away the satellite phone and said, "Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe Jiayi will agree after knowing about H City. Now it is enough to prove that H City is not a waste, and their achievements can also provide help to you, then she has no reason to oppose it anymore."

Yun Shuhuai knew that Cheng Jiayi was hostile to the H City base because she knew about Xi Ling's past life. No one thought that Xi Ling would be blamed, but now it is impossible for her and Xi Ling to be together, so there is no reason to be stubborn for Xi Ling.

From what she saw in the RV before, Yun Shuhuai always felt that Cheng Jiayi might have a chance with Shao Qi. As long as she gave a little push, they might be a couple, and she would not have to bother them all the time.

"That's what you said, but Miss Yun, I see you are also in contact with H City. Can I know how H City is developing?"

Only by knowing enough information can he have a reason to persuade Jiayi and let his father and others reconfirm the contact with the H City base.

"Huh? Didn't General Lu tell you?" Yun Shuhuai asked.

"Yes, I think he is also wary of us. To put it bluntly, for the sake of the base, I must know whether reconnecting can seek benefits for the S City base."

Cheng Xiuyi's eyes were sharp. It's not that he is selfish. In the end times, everything is really based on interests.

Yun Shuhuai said: "Chief Cheng, although I know that General Lu's original intention was to restore contact with the S City base, he, like you, also wants his base to exist for a long time. But he hopes that all the survivors can survive. Maybe he doesn't need you to pay anything for them, but he will definitely do his best to help you."

"Okay, it doesn't hurt to tell you." Yun Shuhuai looked up at Cheng Xiuyi and said: "Miss Cheng, do you want to come and listen together?"
