After Zhu Xiao and his group entered, the gates closed once again.
The distant vehicles also didn’t charge in; Xiao Jun and his men got into those few vehicles.
Upon entering Weng City, Zhu Xiao, as always, first stayed for a few minutes, then underwent a security check, and parked the vehicle inside Weng City.
Weapons had to be surrendered, but personal belongings and daily necessities like food and bedding could be carried along.
Then they were led by Song Min into the Second Outer City.
Dong Tai and his group stared at the towering walls a hundred meters away.
They lapsed into a daze collectively, not expecting to find such an imposing structure near the national highway, hidden within the mountains.
And those familiar items on the walls, they were very clear about the firepower of these gadgets.
Directly facing them were several mortars and three heavy machine guns, a number of light machine guns, and dozens of fully-armed people watching them from behind the protection of the walls.
In the vehicles behind them, upon seeing this scene, they began discussing energetically:
"Have we found an organization? Didn’t they say this was a civilian force? How could they possess such formidable firepower!!"
"The last time I saw these things was during military exercises. Tsk tsk."
"Did you notice Xiao Jun just now?"
"I saw him; he got into Captain Dong’s vehicle."
"This Big Camphor Tree Base, it’s not simple."
In Dong Tai’s vehicle at the front.
Dong Tai naturally saw the defensive lineup of the Big Camphor Tree Base.
At this moment, his expression turned somber as he looked at Xiao Jun, who had boarded the vehicle, and asked, "What does this mean?"
Seeing his expression, Xiao Jun naturally understood that Dong Tai had misunderstood.
He quickly clarified, speaking rapidly and densely with information, and in no more than three minutes, he had explained the rules of the Big Camphor Tree Base and its residents to them.
Dong Tai furrowed his brow and said, "You mean to say, before we can go in, we have to put all our weapons and ammunition in one vehicle, send that in first, and then we can enter?"
Xiao Jun seriously replied, "Yes."
Then, seeing that Camp Commander Ju Tianrui was still unconscious, he anxiously said, "Trust me, trust us; we’ve cooperated with them and understand them—they’re not the same as Gan Shang and his crew.
The people of Big Camphor Tree Base might seem uncompromising, but they’re actually the most reasonable.
And they adhere to their rules; having been at the Big Camphor Tree Base for some time, what our eyes have seen cannot be fake.
Put yourself in their shoes; their concerns aren’t unwarranted either.
Hurry up, let the brothers surrender their weapons and ammunition; we’ve got to save the Camp Commander first."
Xiao Jun pleaded earnestly, but Dong Tai hesitated.
Though he was anxious about Ju Tianrui’s condition, with the Camp Commander unconscious, he also had to be responsible for the dozens of brothers.
"I need to discuss this with the others." Dong Tai was anxious, no one more so than him about Ju Tianrui’s illness.
But the more critical the moment, the more cautious one must be.
Turning back to Xiao Jun, Dong Tai said, "Two minutes. I’ll give you an answer in two minutes."
"Ah—" Xiao Jun heaved a sigh.
On the other side of the wall, eight minutes had passed since Xiao Jun and his group had arrived.
But Li Yu wasn’t rushing or anxious.
To him, in this apocalyptic world, he was willing to help others to the best of his ability, but first, he had to see the sincerity of the other party.
His goal never changed: protect the safety of the people in the base, and live well.
He had to be cautious because a single misstep in this post-apocalyptic world could plunge them into an irreversible catastrophe.
He had to be responsible for the family, friends, and brothers in the base.
Two minutes later, Dong Tai approached Xiao Jun and said, "I hope your judgment is correct, and that they are truly as you’ve described."
Then he ordered everyone to place all their weapons and ammunition in one vehicle. Xiao Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and then he and his men drove the vehicle into the base.
Dong Tai did not realize that this action not only conveyed their sincerity to Li Yu but also turned their fate by one hundred and eighty degrees.
In the following month, Dong Tai would often reflect on how fortunate he was to have made such a decision.
This decision saved their lives.
In a post-apocalyptic world, if you were asked to hand over your weapons to a stranger you do not know, would you?
It’s a very difficult decision.
To put oneself in the other’s shoes.
As difficult as it is, it demonstrates sincerity.
Li Yu saw Xiao Jun driving the vehicle loaded with guns and ammunition to the wall and felt relieved inside.
Since you trust me, I also naturally can open the doors to welcome you. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn nοvelfire.net
The gate opened, and Xiao Jun’s group was let in.
Then the gate closed.
Li Yu instructed Dapao and others to take the vehicle full of firearms to another Weng City.
The base’s main gate opened again.
Li Yu, carrying a gun and wearing a bullet-proof vest, accompanied by Third Uncle and others, personally went downstairs.
On one side, Meng Yu and several others were holding stretchers, waiting for Ju Tianrui and his group to enter.
