Free Web NovelChapter 1472: Chapter 851: Searching for the Military Base (Part 2)
Third Uncle was very familiar with military maps and slowly explained them to Li Yu.
Li Gang also listened quietly on the side, occasionally raising one or two questions.
Half an hour later, Li Yu, with his excellent memory, had become familiar with some special markings and symbols in this short time.
"So, Third Uncle, based on what you just said, according to the map, the nearest military base to us is in the neighboring province, not far from Gan City, in Chenzhou?"
Third Uncle nodded and said, "Yes.
If we want to check the military base, it’s best to go there.
It’s close, and we’ll know soon enough what’s left over there.
Look!
Only less than one-third of the map of Gansheng is left.
For example, that military base we visited a couple of years ago is also marked out, and it’s right here."
Li Yu was familiar with the location Third Uncle was pointing to. frёewebnoѵēl.com
After seeing it, Li Yu nodded and said to Third Uncle, "I understand, then what do you mean by marking out Chong City, Cheng City, Kun City, and Gui City?"
"These are the central cities of the third line of defense. You see there are many special markings around here, these places should have a lot of wartime preparedness materials."
"For instance, look at Kun City here, there is a relatively large military base to the north, but this kind of military base would be impossible for ordinary people to find without a map."
Li Yu nodded in agreement, then said excitedly to Third Uncle, "Then we... should hurry and set off!"
Li Yu rubbed his hands together, full of anticipation.
Third Uncle chuckled and said, "I have no objections; if we’re lucky, we might find it. If not, the military base might have been relocated, after all, this map is an old version, and so many years have passed.
Moreover, the outbreak of the Doomsday and various natural disasters may have also affected the military bases.
Although some military bases were mainly built in caves, look at this typhoon, and the previous earthquake could have potentially collapsed the military bases."
Upon hearing this, Li Yu wasn’t discouraged; instead, he was full of vigor.
He said to Third Uncle, "Then let’s set off tomorrow; the sooner we find this military base, the sooner we can have peace of mind."
"Alright, then let’s do it this way tomorrow: first, we’ll fly over with a helicopter, and then if there’s no issue there, we’ll send people over to transport things. This saves time and is more efficient."
Li Yu nodded when he heard this and said somewhat hesitantly to Third Uncle, "Well, I’ll go with you guys."
Upon hearing Li Yu’s request, Third Uncle immediately wanted to refuse.
After all, if anything happened to Li Yu, it would be a devastating blow to the Big Camphor Tree Base.
But since Li Yu insisted, he must have a special reason, so it wasn’t easy for him to refuse.
Besides, Third Uncle had confidence in himself. He and the Jackals had been able to go in and out of Southeast Asia even before the Doomsday, let alone with the current circumstances.
Moreover, Third Uncle also knew that Li Yu was quite strong; his skills were impressive.
Even though his experience might not be as extensive, Li Yu’s sensitivity to danger was something that even amazed Third Uncle.
"Alright then," Third Uncle reluctantly agreed. fгeewebnovёl.com
Li Yu felt much happier.
Afterward, they began discussing the plan for the next day. From Xin City to Chenzhou City, it’s just over three hundred kilometers.
It only takes about an hour by helicopter.
But if driving, considering the pre-Doomsday highways at around eighty kilometers per hour, it would take about four or five hours.
Before the typhoon, although the roads were in disrepair, they were relatively smooth with fewer fallen rocks and wood on the way. At a speed of forty to fifty kilometers per hour, it would take about seven or eight hours.
As for after the typhoon, it’s unclear.
This super typhoon caused tremendous damage; some roads between the mountains were completely blocked by mudslides; they might have to detour.
The safest route is the highway; since it allows a clear space on both sides, it’s considered the best road to travel on so far.
After agreeing on the plan, Li Gang and Li Tie were eager to go.
But Li Yu and Third Uncle stopped them at the same time.
This time, they were to stay at the Big Camphor Tree Base and not go anywhere.
After finalizing these arrangements with Third Uncle, Li Yu approached Xiao Jun.
He was preparing to talk to him about leading a team to resolve the Transfer Station situation.
Xiao Jun is the nephew of the Jackals.
As Xiao Jun came in, he saw Third Uncle walk out, so he said to Third Uncle, "Uncle Li."
"Hey, Xiao Jun," Third Uncle smiled at him and then walked out from the duty room.
The military map had already been put away. Li Yu looked at Xiao Jun and pointed to the chair beside him, motioning him to sit.
Xiao Jun looked at Li Yu and slowly sat down, asking, "Director Li, you wanted to see me?"
Li Yu poured him a cup of tea, then smiled and asked, "How have you been recently?"
Hmm???
Xiao Jun was a bit puzzled, full of confusion about Director Li’s sudden concern.
"Pretty... pretty good."
Xiao Jun scratched his head and replied to Li Yu.
For some reason, even though Li Yu was younger than him, every time he met him, he felt like the younger one.
