But there is a way, and that is to handle affairs according to the rules, if the points are not met, they can only serve as extra staff of the base, or as cooperative personnel.
As time goes by and understanding each other thoroughly.
Using the prestige of Third Uncle, gradually subdue them.
Integrate them completely into Big Camphor Tree Base.
By that time, it will mean integrating a team of over a hundred people with admirable combat strength into Big Camphor Tree Base.
This is undoubtedly of great benefit to Big Camphor Tree Base.
But what Li Yu is most concerned about is whether he can maintain control; if not, he would rather not.
At Big Camphor Tree Base, no one should be able to influence their decision-making and management power.
This is particularly important in the post-apocalyptic world.
Just like in the pre-apocalyptic world, it’s very disheartening for an entrepreneur who grows his company only to lose absolute control after introducing capital.
Li Yu would absolutely never allow this to happen.
So, he is very cautious in this regard.
On the other hand, Big Camphor Tree Base actually needs them, with the Western Alliance being mysterious and deep, but from what Third Uncle and Old Qin said, the Western Alliance is not that simple.
Whether it’s Xiao Jun or Tian Rui, they will be a help in confronting the Western Alliance.
Hearing Xiao Jun choose the first condition, Li Yu nodded and said: "Alright, standard procedure then. You know, entering the city requires handing over vehicles and firearms.
They don’t know enough about us and might resist; you’ll need to make this clear to them when the time comes."
Xiao Jun confidently said: "No problem, I’ll bring a few more of my guys out to talk to the Camp Commander and others."
"Alright." Li Yu agreed to his request.
The request was reasonable; it’s unlikely for a group to be deceived as opposed to an individual.
The two discussed more details about the entry.
Regarding food, there wasn’t a need for Big Camphor Tree Base to provide help; after Xiao Jun and his team returned from a mission at the steel factory, Li Yu had already rewarded them.
These supplies of food were sufficient for Xiao Jun and Tian Rui to last over a month without any issues.
As the two were chatting, Zhu Xiao’s voice came through in Li Yu’s earpiece: "Director Li, we are about to arrive, we will appear under the wall in five minutes."
Li Yu responded: "Okay."
Li Hang, who had been monitoring the national highway cameras, also shouted loudly to everyone: "They are coming."
Li Yu and Xiao Jun gathered to look at the monitor screen, and the first to appear were two vehicles. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novelFɪre.net
"It should be Zhu Xiao and his team," Second Uncle commented.
He had seen Zhu Xiao’s vehicles many times before when Zhu Xiao had come to receive assignments and exchange goods, so he recognized them immediately.
The vehicles moved quickly.
Zoomed from one camera screen to another in a flash.
Then, a convoy appeared on the first monitor screen.
Xiao Jun, seeing the familiar vehicles and catching a glimpse of a familiar figure on the fleeting cars, excitedly told Li Yu: "It’s the Camp Commander and others, I just saw Dong Tai, he’s another company commander."
"Hmm, that’s good," Li Yu nodded slightly.
Zhu Xiao’s voice came through the walkie-talkie again: "Director Li, Director Li, I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this, but I heard from Dong Tai that Tian Rui seems to have a severe heatstroke and is currently unconscious, I don’t know if this will be a big issue for you, just wanted to inform you again."
Li Yu, hearing this, said: "I know."
He turned to Li Tie and commanded: "Get Meng Yu here with a stretcher and heatstroke treatment medications, tell her to come quickly.
Also, let Hua Qian prepare more herbal drinks to cool down, boil more, and later distribute them to everyone, and bring some over here."
Li Tie immediately turned to pass the order.
Li Yu then shared what Zhu Xiao reported with Xiao Jun. Hearing about Tian Rui’s severe heatstroke and unconsciousness, Xiao Jun became even more anxious.
But seeing the arrangements Li Yu had just made and looking at his grateful eyes, Xiao Jun said deeply: "Director Li, thank you!"
Zhu Xiao and his team arrived at Big Camphor Tree Base.
But Tian Rui and his team hadn’t caught up yet.
Li Yu looked at Xiao Jun and his team and said to them: "We’re here, go down and talk to them."
Waiting a long time, Xiao Jun and his group, empty-handed, wearing sun-protective clothes and hats, walked out through the gate.
After they left, the gate slammed shut.
Seeing Xiao Jun look back, Li Yu waved at him from the wall, signaling him to hurry.
Xiao Jun, adjusting his emotions, with a mix of trepidation, tension, and anticipation, hurried outside the base.
After Zhu Xiao arrived under the wall, he saw five people come out from the gate, then it closed.
Li Yu, seeing Zhu Xiao and others standing there, thought for a moment and then said to Dapao: "Let Zhu Xiao and his team come in first."
Beyond the gate, there’s another Weng City, even if Tian Rui and his team had issues and tried to storm the gate, they wouldn’t benefit much.
Even if they stormed inside, once the gate closes, it’d be like catching turtles in a jar, even easier to manage.
The gate opened again.
Li Yu nodded at Zhu Xiao, Zhu Xiao, seeing Li Yu nod, said to Skinny Monkey: "Director Li let us in, let’s go, we don’t know the situation here, better hurry in and talk."
