NOVEL WEB Chapter 386: Director Li the Mighty
Li Yu entered the base and immediately went to the medical room - Li Tie and the others had been injured and were still inside.
The night was enchanting.
Hastening under the dim yellow streetlights, Li Yu wanted to check on their condition as soon as possible.
He had been busy handling various matters, but deep down, he was genuinely worried about Li Tie and the others.
Tap tap tap tap~
At the entrance to the medical room, Li Yu saw Third Uncle standing at the doorway smoking. Under the outdoor lamp, the smoke curled around Third Uncle, rising and swirling above.
Li Yu approached him, asking anxiously, "How's everything inside now?"
Third Uncle said slowly, "Xiao Hang has broken a rib, Xiao Tie has been shot in the leg, but the bullet has been removed, and Ding Jiu's situation is more complicated; he's lost too much blood and is still undergoing resuscitation."
Hearing this, Li Yu clenched his teeth and remained silent.
It had become a habit for nearly everyone in the base to store their own blood, and over the past year, Ding Jiu had also stored some blood in the blood bank, which was now being put to use.
At the doorway, Li Hang came out, holding Ding Qingqing.
The medical room had been transformed, now comprising five rooms and a hall.
There were five rooms: one operating room, two patient rooms of 30 square meters each with a total of six patient beds, one medicine room, and the last room was used as a storage room.
Ding Qingqing looked at the operating room with a worried expression, while Li Hang was constantly comforting her.
As Li Yu was about to approach them,
Suddenly, the operating room door opened, and Meng Yu emerged, saying to the crowd around, "Ding Jiu is out of danger now; he just needs to rest and recover for a while."
Ding Qingqing's face lit up with joy. Just as she was about to go inside, Li Yuan, who came out from the operating room, said, "Let him sleep it off."
Ding Qingqing then paused her steps.
On the other side, Li Tie, with a bandage wrapped around his leg, sat in a wheelchair, maneuvering the wheels to come forward.
Li Yu walked over and patted his shoulder.
This recent outing had served as a caution to everyone – that no matter how close to the base they were going, they needed to be fully armed, and protective gear was a must whenever leaving the base.
After emphasizing this to everyone, both Li Hang and Li Tie lowered their heads in careless disregard.
And now, being injured was the price they had to pay.
The price of blood.
...
After a busy day, Li Yu went for an evening stroll on the wall after dinner, looking down at those civilians from Safe City inside Weng City, some squatting, some lying on the ground, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Living in the apocalypse, if one has a compassionate heart, it might affect one or two people, but it will also lead to a quick death, and even more so, afflict harm to many others.
Against vicious enemies, only by being more ferocious can one survive.
"Big brother, you're here." Li Haoran came over upon seeing Li Yu and said.
Li Yu nodded and asked, "What's the situation with these people?"
Li Haoran replied, "While we were eating just now, those people down there kept screaming they were hungry, asking if we could give them something to eat."
Li Yu raised an eyebrow and queried, "How did you respond?"
"Eat sh*t!" Li Haoran said angrily, looking at those people.
He had grown up with Li Tie and Li Hang, and now seeing his family members injured, he was filled with hatred for these enemies that had caused their injuries.
Moreover, in this apocalyptic world, who doesn't know the preciousness of food.
Li Yu chuckled and said, "Alright, keep a close watch on them. Don't let your guard down."
Li Haoran nodded and said, "Yeah, got it."
Following Li Haoran.
Second Uncle walked over, followed by Uncle, Third Uncle, and others. They were curious about Li Yu bringing back people from Safe City today and were just about to inquire.
Now that Li Yu was here, it was the perfect time to discuss.
Li Yu thought for a moment and said to Second Uncle, "I have an idea to discuss with you all. We need to expand our base and we need quite a few hands. My plan is to keep these people and have them help us expand..."
Li Yu shared some of his thoughts with Second Uncle and the others.
Second Uncle nodded and said, "I have no objections, but what will you do with these people once they've helped to build? What's your plan?"
"Kill them," Li Yu said without hesitation.
Uncle wanted to say something as he looked at Li Yu but eventually remained silent after deep thought.
Meanwhile, Second Uncle glanced at Li Yu and said, "Then that's settled. I think it's all okay. It just depends on what the others think."
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle had no objections by the side.
After reaching a consensus, Li Yu also brought up a matter about He Chao and others, which everyone discussed further.
In the end, they all agreed, though Second Uncle felt that the outer wall should not be built higher than Inner City's wall among other considerations.
After hearing these suggestions, Li Yu thought them over and found them quite sensible.
After finishing the discussion with Second Uncle and the others.
Li Yu, as usual, took a walk along the perimeter wall before heading back.
Arriving back in his room, Li Yu stared blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Thinking about the civilians from Safe City who were left behind, Safe City...
Based on what he heard from them today, he learned that there were still some people out at Safe City, hundreds of kilometers away.
In the silent night, Li Yu thought for a while before falling asleep.
...
An uneventful night passed.
Li Yu got up early in the morning, just after six, when the sky was just beginning to lighten. The spring air, infused with the fragrance of grass and dewdrops, and the moisture in the air invigorated Li Yu.
Spring had arrived.
Everywhere, tender green shoots sprouted, lifting Li Yu's spirits. After some warm-up exercises, he ran towards the hill. As he ran up the hill, the trees quickly passed by in his field of vision. He relished the sensation.
The wind blew past his ears, stirring his hair and revealing his handsome face.
...
After his morning exercise, Li Yu returned to his room to shower, changed his clothes, had breakfast, and was about to head toward the perimeter wall when he ran into Li Haoran.
Li Haoran ran over to Li Yu and said, "Big brother, He Chao and the others are at the gate."
Li Yu replied indifferently, "I know, I'm on my way now."
Both of them headed in the direction of the perimeter wall.
Arriving at the wall, Li Yu saw He Chao and others, and He Chao below the wall also saw him, waving.
Li Yu waved back and then had Li Haoran open the gate.
He then instructed Li Haoran to call Second Uncle and the others.
Once the gate was open, He Chao, and the others came in and saw the civilians from Safe City.
Li Yu said to them:
"He Chao and others told you yesterday about your contributions. Besides increasing your points for entering the city, considering that you are in danger outside, we plan to build an outer wall. When it's finished, you can come in..."
Although they had heard about it from He Chao yesterday, hearing it from Director Li himself now, the excitement was palpable as the thirty-odd people burst into excited cheering: Director Li is mighty!
