Apart from Second Uncle and others who were in Weng City handing over steel materials, and aside from the hundreds of people constructing in the Third Outer City.
Everyone else was mobilized.
Outside, the cooperative personnel transporting materials exceeded a thousand, and now all of them received the message from Li Yu.
Third Uncle watched a series of operations by Li Yu, and someone who was always reserved with words was somewhat moved.
Not saying words of thanks, family doesnât need formalities.
Soon, Li Tie arrived with dozens of drones and loudspeakers.
Third Uncle immediately recorded a message using the loudspeaker, then Li Tie took dozens of people and flew the drones into the sky.
Li Yu and Third Uncle, along with others, also descended from the walls.
Third Uncle, Li Yu, Luo, and Xiao Jun each chose a direction and led hundreds of people out to search.
Li Tie and others also dispersed; the dronesâ control range was only five kilometers, so they needed to move as well.
A massive team moved out.
Together with many cooperative personnel and extra staff, it was like a dense net set down, centered on the Big Camphor Tree Base and spread out over ten kilometers around.
Meanwhile, Ant was packing a backpack. To be honest, he didnât know what to do.
He was hesitating whether to expose himself directly.
But last night, some zombies appeared outside the room and wrecked the door; plus, this house was initially constructed for resting and wasnât sturdy.
So he needed to change his base of operations, which was an urgent matter at hand.
Suddenly, after he walked out of the house, he heard a loudspeakerâs voice accompanied by drone buzzing.
He couldnât help but smile wryly, he was already nearly eight kilometers away, and yet they were still pursuing him.
This base is really too stringent and cautious; he immediately grabbed Xiao Yongâs hand and was about to hide in the bushes a dozen meters away.
However, the next second, as the drone approached, he vaguely heard the loudspeakerâs voice on it.
His body slightly trembled.
The hand reaching backward paused in mid-air.
He looked like someone struck by lightning.
This voice was very, very familiar to him.
It was the Captainâs voice, and what he saidâhe could be one hundred percent sureâwas the Captain.
A small hand suddenly grasped his suspended hand.
It was Xiao Yongâs hand. Xiao Yong saw his father was acting strange and asked in confusion, "Dad, whatâs wrong?"
Seeing that his father was ignoring him, he stood in front of his father, noticing the tears in his fatherâs eyes and his reddened nose.
Said, "Dad, why are you crying? Is it because Iâm not doing well enough, and I couldnât satisfy you?"
Xu Chengcai rubbed his messy hair and said with a smile, "No, Xiao Yong, Iâm taking you to meet your uncle!"
Xiao Yong heard this and was a bit confused. He didnât recall having an uncle.
Xu Chengcai carried Xiao Yong and clutched the backpack in his hand, running like the wind towards the Big Camphor Tree Base.
But after he had run five kilometers, he encountered Luo, the person who chased him a few days ago.
He immediately halted, but recalling the droneâs voice, his previous hesitation about exposing himself turned into a decision.
Confronting Luo, who had chased him before, he proactively emerged from the woods.
With steps filled with determination and trust in the Captain.
Luo saw the sudden figure appearing from the woods.
Reflexively raised his gun, aiming at the emerging man.
Beside Xu Chengcai, Xiao Yong saw Luoâs action and was a bit scared, tightly clutching Xu Chengcaiâs hand.
Xu Chengcai grasped back, faced with Luoâs gunpoint without fear.
The next second, Luo recognized it as the person he tracked earlier.
So he said to the people beside him, "Put down your guns; heâs the one weâre looking for."
A bit of annoyance but also some admiration, he slowly approached Xu Chengcai; this man indeed embarrassed him the other day.
Opened his mouth and said, "Is it Jackals? Third Uncle is looking for you, it should be your Captain. Heâs at Big Camphor Tree Base."
"Third Uncle? Is he your Third Uncle?" Jackals asked somewhat confusedly.
This Luo in front of him didnât look much younger than him.
Luo awkwardly said, "Ahem, everyone calls him that, so I just follow along; to be exact, he should be the General Captain of the Combat Battalion at Big Camphor Tree Base."
In fact, at Big Camphor Tree Base.
Li Yu was the overall responsible person at Big Camphor Tree Base, which meant the City Lord.
Third Uncle was in charge of external combat, serving as the General Captain of the Combat Battalion.
Second Uncle managed the internal and external administration of the base, its director.
Uncle was mainly responsible for the base and nearby defense as the Defense Battalion Captain.
He Chao specialized in Outer City and cooperative personnel, serving as Internal Affairs Director there.
....
There arenât that many titles, the organization structure just consists of those people, clear responsibilities are enough.
General Captain of the Combat Battalion, this power seems not small.
Xu Chengcai murmured in his heart.
It appears that this Big Camphor Tree Base has a deep relationship with the Captain.
He nodded at Luo and said, "I just heard the loudspeaker, learned it; now heading towards the base."
"Okay, I will take you there." Luo nodded.
Knowing he was one of them after all, knowing he was Third Uncleâs teammate, he no longer felt distressed for himself.
Instead, he looked at Xu Chengcai with some admiration,
Remembering the previous mistake, which almost caused a bad result, he opened his mouth to ask in confusion, "You ran really fast; despite so many of us, we couldnât catch you that day. Why did you hide? We thought you were the enemy; you couldâve just come over, and there wouldnât have been so many things."
Xu Chengcai rarely felt a bit embarrassed.
In this doomsday, he had become accustomed to being cautious.
He had joined some teams before, but later found out they were traps and pits.
So he became extremely cautious.
Thus he opened his mouth and said, "Sorry, it just happened to be...."
He didnât know what to say either, said a few words, and stopped.
Luo thought for a while, understanding why he behaved this way; if it were him, he would be a bit cautious too. If it were a regular base, Xu Chengcai surely wouldnât have been found.
But he happened to encounter Big Camphor Tree Base.
He was about to say a few more words when Xiao Ding beside reminded him, "Captain, shouldnât we inform the others? After all, theyâve dispersed to look."
Luo heard this and slapped his forehead.
"You see my memory, right, to find you, weâve mobilized almost all our forces."
Then Luo took out the walkie-talkie and said to the others, "This is Luo; Jackals have been found here, heading towards the base."
Searching eastward, Third Uncle, Ant, and others immediately said, "Let him have the walkie-talkie."
Xu Chengcai was right beside Luo, and hearing the familiar voice of the Captain, his throat felt choked up.
Receiving the walkie-talkie handed over by Luo, thousands of words in his heart condensed into two: "Captain."
Third Uncle was silent for a few seconds, heart clogged with difficulty and joy.
Joy because it was truly his teammate Jackals, and found.
The difficult part was, itâs been a long, long, long time since they met.
Mixed emotions filled his heart.
He spoke, "Good, hurry to the base, letâs meet properly."
Just as he was saying that, alongside, Old Qin also spoke, "Jackals, you little rascal, where have you been all these years!"
Ant also said, "Jackals, come over quickly!"
Xu Chengcai heard Old Qin and Antâs voices, and his eyes were filled with even more delight.
On the droneâs loudspeaker, there was only Third Uncleâs voice, but he didnât hear Old Qin and Antâs.
Originally, he thought only the Captain was there, unexpectedly, Ant and Old Qin were also present.
Although he didnât understand why, in this doomsday, they could all be together.
Yet still couldnât hide his joyful mood at this moment.
Shock, delight.
He felt today was the happiest day since the doomsday outbreak.
No, it is the happiest day in the past seven or eight years.
"Damn, so you two are also here."
"Hahaha, come quickly."
...
Along the way.
Jackalsâ face was filled with joy; his tightly knit brows relaxed.
His face bloomed like a flower.
Xiao Yong was curious; he had never seen his father so happy.
Seeing his father so joyful, he was also delighted.
Fifteen minutes later.
Jackals, holding Xiao Yongâs hand, emerged from the forest.
Saw standing at the Big Camphor Tree Base entrance waiting for his Captain, Ant, Old Qin, and some unfamiliar others.
Jackalsâ eyes showed emotions and joy.
Walked up to Third Uncle, tidied his clothes, and saluted heavily.
Slowly opened his mouth and said:
"Jackals request to rejoin the team!"
