Chapter 1824 - 984: Night Patrol, Searching for Luminous Objects (3)

"Mm..."

Li Yu fell silent for a moment after hearing the question.

The problem Second Uncle raised was indeed a troublesome one.

Zombies only walk at a speed of a few kilometers per hour, ten at most.

But helicopters fly ridiculously fast.

However, at night, they couldn’t drive out either.

Night belonged to the Zombies; in the pitch dark, all the Zombies came out.

So he spoke up:

"Two options. The first is to locate those nuclear-radiation Zombies first, then lure them into a specific area, and wait until the next day to lead them away.

The second option is to use three helicopters to take turns luring those Zombies away. That way, while one helicopter is flying, the other two have time to refuel. It just burns more fuel, and it’s more dangerous.

Which way do you think is better?"

Right at that moment, Uncle and the others came over as well.

"Xiao Yu, the Cooperative Personnel over by the greenhouses say they want to go out and continue building the Fourth Outer City... Huh, there are so many people here."

Uncle said as he came in and saw the crowd, sounding a bit surprised.

When Li Yu saw Uncle come in, he told him what they’d just been discussing and asked for his opinion.

After listening, Uncle said, "As for the first option, once we’ve found those nuclear-radiation Zombies, we’re not short on a day or two anyway.

What I’m mainly thinking is that refueling helicopters at night is very dangerous. If Zombies suddenly show up around us while we’re refueling, that’d be a huge problem."

Second Uncle nodded as well. "I agree. Let’s go with the first plan."

"Agreed," Li Gang nodded beside them.

Li Yu then shifted his gaze to Chen Delong, who was squatting on the ground.

"Chen Delong?"

"Here!" Chen Delong hurriedly stood up.

"You’re coming with us tonight. Any problem with that?" Li Yu asked.

"No problem. Being allowed to go is my honor," Chen Delong answered quickly.

He realized this was an opportunity for them—a chance to move from Cooperative Personnel to Extra Staff.

If the City Lord and the others really managed to find those nuclear-radiation Zombies tonight, that would prove he hadn’t lied, and that he’d helped the Big Camphor Tree Base avoid a pretty nasty mess.

Based on what he’d learned about the Big Camphor Tree Base over these past two years,

the Big Camphor Tree Base definitely wouldn’t treat him poorly.

And their team had gone so far out only because the base urgently needed equipment, which was why they didn’t get back in time and lost so many people.

Sure enough,

Li Yu said to him again:

"What about the other team members?"

Chen Delong lowered his head and said in grief, "Dead. All dead."

"Sigh..." Li Yu let out a breath.

Then he turned to Xiao Ding, who had come in with them:

"Xiao Ding, take them to the First outer city, let them rest in Greenhouse No. 3."

Xiao Ding nodded, and said to the four with Chen Delong, "Follow me."

"Oh, and have Liu Pengfei take a look at that brother. His face doesn’t look right to me." Li Yu pointed at Tui Zi, who was awake but lifeless.

"What’s wrong with him?" Li Yu asked Chen Delong.

"We’re not sure. Maybe dehydration, but when we touched his forehead it was burning hot..." Chen Delong shook his head as he spoke.

Li Yu nodded. "It’s fine. I’ll get a doctor to take a look at you all later."

"Thank you, City Lord."

"Go on."

"Okay."
