Chapter 1866 - 1000

"What? The Northern Territory Federation is actually so powerful!" Li Tie exclaimed in shock after Dapao told him what had just been extracted from the interrogation.

Dapao’s expression wasn’t looking good either.

He spoke to everyone:

"Well, if what that kid said is true, the Northern Territory Federation is not to be underestimated. However, they’re not very united internally. It’s mainly Sima Xi who’s sending people over, and we don’t know if Governor Yuan Zhi of the Northern Territory Federation is aware of this."

Zuo Ruxue frowned deeply and said, "The urgent matter at hand is to report this to the Headquarters Base, right? This is too big, let’s see what the HQ’s opinion is."

Li Tie nodded and said, "Yes, report to HQ first. Dapao, you were the one who conducted the interrogation, you’re more familiar with the situation, you speak with them."

"Alright." Dapao nodded, not refusing the task.

Sitting in front of the military radio, Dapao put on his headset.

"Calling Big Camphor Tree Base, this is Dapao from Oil City, there’s an urgent matter that needs reporting..."

Big Camphor Tree Base.

Li Yu carried a gun, wearing a helmet, followed by Luo and others.

They were inspecting work on the construction site of the Fourth Outer City.

"Not bad, with their help, the speed has indeed increased significantly. He Chao, make sure to provide them with proper sun protection and prepare herbal remedies for heatstroke. I’ve already discussed with Hua Qian, the old Chinese doctor."

He Chao quickly nodded and said, "Rest assured, once Hua Qian has brewed it, I’ll have someone bring it over."

"Hmm, by the way, Uncle Ding, the construction of the bunkers in the base can also proceed in parallel. Can you estimate how long it will take to complete the bunkers?"

Ding Jiu, upon hearing this, replied, "I’ve been keeping an eye on the bunkers, and construction resumed today. It’s estimated they will take another four to five months to complete."

"That long?" Li Yu asked.

Ding Jiu answered with some difficulty, "The main issue is that digging downwards takes time, and because we’re digging so deep, we need to ensure stability, which requires a lot of concrete, hence the slowness..."

After listening, Li Yu nodded and said, "Well, just make sure to monitor it closely. It has to be built sturdy enough, better to take more time than to rush it..."

Suddenly, the walkie-talkie at his waist buzzed.

"Xiao Yu, where are you? Come to the duty room at once. There’s news from Oil City!"

It was Second Uncle’s voice.

Li Yu’s expression shifted, and he said to Ding Jiu and He Chao, "I’ll leave this to you guys. Ensure safety, I don’t want another rebellion like the last time!"

"Understood!" The two nodded seriously in response.

Li Yu gave them a glance, then picked up the walkie-talkie and replied to Second Uncle:

"Second Uncle, I’m at the Fourth Outer City construction site, what’s up?"

Speaking, while walking towards the duty room.

"That kid was indeed sent to scout us out. They know not just about Oil City but about Big Camphor Tree Base too. We’re being targeted!"

"I’m on my way!" Li Yu’s eyes turned cold, and he quickened his pace, running towards the duty room.

Soon.

A few minutes later, Li Yu arrived at the duty room.

He ran swiftly, while Luo, who followed him, was panting heavily.

But Li Yu’s breathing remained steady.

Upon entering, Li Yu saw Uncle, Third Uncle, Yang Tianlong, and Li Gang all present.

They were all looking at Li Yu with grave expressions.

"What’s happened?" Li Yu asked.

Second Uncle briefly explained the information extracted from Oil City.

After listening, Li Yu furrowed his brows.

"The Northern Territory Federation!"

How could it be so strong!

In his impression, there were no large organizations in the doomsday, even the Western Alliance, with so many people initially, ended up with a drastically reduced population due to natural disasters.

How did the Northern Territory Federation manage this?

Second Uncle continued, "The Northern Territory Federation’s system is quite clever. They don’t support people. They accept anyone into the Outer City, ensuring they have enough human resources. Cheap manpower."

Li Yu thought for a moment and asked, "How high is their wall?"

Second Uncle shook his head and said, "I don’t know, we haven’t asked, but Dapao should know, you can ask him."

Li Yu quickly sat in front of the military radio.

Picked up the headset and contacted Dapao.

"Dapao, this is Li Yu. Did that kid mention how large the Northern Territory Federation is and how high their walls are?"

Having waited for a few minutes on this side of the military radio, Dapao heard Li Yu’s voice and quickly responded, "In size, it’s dozens of times larger than Oil City, though he didn’t specify exactly how big. Also, regarding the height of the walls, the kid said it’s as tall as several dozen-story buildings, so it definitely won’t be below 30 meters."

"Thirty meters?! With such a large scale, how did they build it?"

Dapao replied, "The kid said he’s not sure either. When he joined the Northern Territory Federation, there were already walls dozens of meters high, which suggests they might have started building them before the doomsday.

It’s said that Yuan Zhi was also a big shot before the doomsday, with lots of resources and a strong network."

Li Yu was puzzled as to why he never heard of such a figure in his previous life.

Perhaps he struggled at the bottom in his past life and stayed mostly in the South, rarely leaving.

Coupled with the extremely poor flow of information during the doomsday, he didn’t know much about the global landscape.
