Listening to Xiao Jun's description, and the fact that they were the ones who went down the mountain to save people, and kept looking for their senior brother, it can be seen that this Qingyang Taoist priest is a person with an innocent heart.
This kind of person does not have to worry about being ungrateful. On the contrary, the more you give him, the more he will feel indebted.
The most precious thing in the apocalypse is food. As for the current Da Zhangshu base, there is actually no shortage of food. The greenhouse in the base can ensure that food can be produced every season, not to mention that there is food stored.
Therefore, Li Yu did not treat Qingyang like an ordinary collaborator.
After receiving Li Yu's order, Xiao Jun, like Zhong Chuchu in the car, distributed their dry food to Qingyang.
Qingyang was a little surprised. When he was on the way, he already knew the rules of the Da Zhangshu Base from Zhong Chuchu's introduction:
All exchanges of equal value can be done by exchanging physical labor for food, or by completing some tasks issued by the Da Zhangshu Base, or by collecting the required materials and exchanging them for relatively equal food.
However, he didn't do anything now, but just gave him food.
This made him, who never liked owing others things, want to refuse immediately.
He wanted to take advantage of his rest time to search for food nearby.
But they were on the national highway now, and there were only some scattered houses around the road. He knew that there was no food in these houses without searching. He had to go to the mountains and forests, and if he was lucky, he could find them.
But half an hour is not enough.
Xiao Jun looked at the food he returned, put it in front of him again and said, "I'm just following Mr. Li's order. If you have any questions, go to him."
After saying that, he returned to the passenger seat and started to eat something.
He also had to take the time to eat and rest, as he had to go on the road in the afternoon.
Qingyang was stunned. Facing the food placed in his hands, he didn't know what to do with it for a moment.
He knew that there was nothing he could exchange for it, but he always felt uncomfortable accepting food from others for nothing.
Zhong Chuchu next to him saw him standing hesitant, smiled and said: "We are still on the way now, there will always be opportunities to repay later, let's eat first."
When Qingyang heard this, he felt that it made sense, so while eating, he thought about what he could do to repay the favor.
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a good way.
All he has on him now is a package, two gourds, a sword, a scripture, a compass, and nothing else.
One gourd holds salt and the other holds water. He must use the sword. This was given to him by his master and he must keep it.
In terms of ability, there doesn't seem to be anything remarkable about it.
In his opinion, although his skills are acceptable, Li Yu and the others all have guns, so they definitely don't need to protect themselves.
I know some medical skills and some herbal plants, but I don’t seem to be able to use these.
For a moment, Qingyang frowned. By the way, this was the second time in the apocalypse that someone had taken the initiative to give him food.
The first time was at Dongfeng's side. Dongfeng gave him two meals of food. In order to repay him, he and his senior brother helped him resist the zombies.
Forget it, just take it one step at a time, and when that layman Li has any problems in the future, you can find a way to share his worries.
He just frowned for a while, and being an open-minded person, he stopped thinking about it and started eating slowly.
Half an hour passed quickly.
Everyone started to set off. They went from Oil City to Macheng, a distance of 220 kilometers.
Calculated based on the current speed of 35 kilometers per hour, it will take six and a half hours.
It was now one o'clock in the afternoon, and they would arrive at the driving school on the outskirts of Macheng at about three o'clock in the afternoon.
The entire journey was speechless.
The sun was shining high, and the heat wave was thick outside, burning the air.
Crunch——
With an unpleasant sound of tires scraping the ground, Ju Tianrui got out of the car and walked to Li Yu's car.
"Here we are."
"Yeah." Li Yu nodded and got out of the car.
Just at this moment, the closed door of the driving school was suddenly opened.
Ling Feng and others walked out, waving to them as they walked over.
"Brother Feng, how are you sure it's Sister Chu Chu and the others?" asked a young man next to him.
"Didn't you see those cars?" Ling Feng said to the young man behind him as he walked towards Li Yu and the others with a smile on his face.
Although there were many more vehicles when Li Yu and the others came back, Ling Feng saw the iconic armored RV that Li Yu was sitting in at a glance.
He was even more convinced of this when he saw Ju Tianrui getting out of the car through the gap in the iron door.
He had seen this man before, so he opened the big iron door.
Seeing Ling Feng opening the big iron door and walking towards him, Li Yu turned his head and saw Xiao Jun walking over with Zhong Chuchu and the others.
"Lao Ju, let the brothers drive the car in, and then check what needs to be checked, and add water where it needs to be added." Li Yu said to Ju Tianrui next to him.
Ju Tianrui responded, and then did as Li Yu said.
Jackal and Ant also got out of the car. After getting off the car, they saw Ling Feng and others, and then followed closely next to Li Yu.
Li Yu saw the ants and jackals behind him and said with some embarrassment: "Uncle Jackal, Uncle Ant, you don't have to do this, just go and do your own business."
The two shook their heads and said, "Xiao Ding will drive the car in."
It seemed that the third uncle had given them a death order, and since his own persuasion was fruitless, he stopped trying to stop them.
"Mr. Li." Ling Feng came over and greeted Li Yu with a smile on his face.
Li Yu nodded slightly and said, "How about it? Nothing happened while we were away, right?"
Ling Feng thought for a while and said, "There's nothing else. It's just that half a month ago, one of my brothers saw two cars passing by on the road outside."
"Do you know him? Are you from the motorcycle gang?" Li Yu said with a frown.
"The two cars passed by at once. They were probably just passing by and didn't see clearly." Ling Feng answered truthfully.
"Yeah." Li Yu said no more.
When they wiped out the bikies, they strangled most of them, but after all, their manpower was limited, so it was expected that two bikies escaped.
But the old ghosts are all dead, and the few remaining biker gang members can't make any waves.
"Sister Chu Chu." Ling Feng said when he saw Zhong Chuchu coming over.
Zhong Chuchu walked over, patted Ling Feng on the shoulder, and said, "We are not the only ones in Oil City. I have found others. Lao Huang and the others are still there."
"Ah? Really? That's great. We were all worried to death while you were gone. What's the result?" Ling Feng didn't dare to ask Li Yu directly, but he dared to ask Zhong Chuchu.
Li Yu saw them chatting there, glanced at them, and walked towards the driving school.
As he walked inside, he could vaguely hear Ling Feng's somewhat exaggerated and suppressed excitement from behind: "Really? All the motorcycle gangs have been wiped out? I knew it! It's too strong!..."
"Where to go next?"
"With you guys? That would be great."
...
After entering the driving school, there were vehicles entering from the front and back. After Lao Luo and others drove the vehicles to the driving school, the first thing they did was to send someone to check the situation inside.
After the jackal and ant behind Li Yu entered, the ant and the jackal chatted for a while.
Then he walked up to Li Yu and said, "Mr. Li, I'll go upstairs to take the commanding heights."
This is the habit of these special forces. Once they arrive somewhere, there will always be a sniper at a higher place to deal with sudden situations.
Although this was not the first time for them to come to the driving school, Ant and the others still wanted to be cautious and could not relax their vigilance.
Li Yu could only say: "Okay, please trouble Uncle Ant."
Ant nodded, then carried the gun and package and walked towards the tallest building in the middle of the driving school.
Although Li Yu has said it many times, Ant still calls him Mr. Li, or the city lord.
Ants and Jackals also asked Li Yu not to call them uncles too politely, but Li Yu respected them very much.
Neither side has changed, so each is called his own.
In fact, for Ant Jackal and Lao Qin, as the kings of soldiers, they are actually proud in their hearts.
In this apocalyptic world, Li Yu, a leader of such a force, treated them with such respect, which moved them very much.
Originally, they were polite and respectful to Li Yu at first because of the captain's face.
After all, for them, they have enough strength to survive in the apocalypse. Although they may not have the same good conditions as at the Da Zhangshu Base, they can at least survive.
But with this period of contact, they were gradually attracted by Li Yu's personality charm.
During the contact, they discovered that Li Yu's personal combat power was also very strong. For people like them, personal abilities were more important.
In addition to seeing the strength of Li Yu's personal combat power, he also saw that Li Yu was steady and decisive in doing things.
Nod in appreciation.
They gradually understood why the captain was so optimistic about his nephew.
I also gradually understood that the core and soul figure of the Da Zhangshu Base could only be Li Yu.
Especially Jackal, Li Yu gave Xiaoyong a good environment, which made Jackal very grateful, so after Li Yu was attacked that time, Jackal paid more attention to this and often observed suspicious people in secret.
People are all for each other. In this way, Jackals, Ants and others gradually have a stronger sense of belonging to the Da Zhangshu base.
Now, not only because the captain is here, but also because Li Yu has a great influence on them.
If you want someone to return to your heart, in addition to being tied up with benefits, you must also be recognized by others. This way it can last longer.
The roar of the car continued. After everyone entered, Ju Tianrui got two trucks and blocked them behind the big iron gate.
In this way, even if a wave of zombies attacks the iron gate and is blocked by dozens of tons of vehicles behind it, it will not be able to break down the iron gate and get in.
.....
According to their plan, with so many of them, they would not be able to reach Xiu County directly tonight at a driving speed, so they simply came to Macheng first, rested for one night, and then went to Xiu County to choose a suitable transfer station tomorrow.
Four p.m.
Lao Luo and others had already checked the entire driving school and were busy refueling the car.
With so many cars, the fuel consumption is staggering.
But on their trip back to the Da Zhangshu base, they also brought several tank trucks filled with fuel, which were fully loaded with nearly two hundred tons of fuel.
These fuels are produced from the oil city. There is also some crude oil that has not yet been refined.
The advantage of bringing Lao Luo and Ju Tianrui out is that Li Yu doesn't have to worry.
As veterans, they have extremely high military literacy. They can think of and execute their own ideas without Li Yu commanding them.
Looking at the busy people, Li Yu looked at the originally empty driving school, which was now filled with various vehicles.
I was a little bored for a while. I saw the little Taoist priest in the distance who wanted to help but was rejected by Lao Luo. Then he was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Li Yu's heart moved, and then he said to Cannon: "Let that Qingyang Taoist priest come over."
Da Pao nodded after hearing this, wondering in his mind what Brother Yu wanted to do with the little Taoist priest.
After Qingyang heard Li Yu calling him, he was a little confused. He simply thought it was still early and simply said hello to Li Yu. He went out from the driving school to find something to eat. He couldn't keep eating other people's food for free.
It's easy to eat someone's mouth, but it's short-handed to take someone else's hands.
It's never good to eat and drink for free.
So he walked towards Li Yu.
"Jushi Li." Qingyang cupped his hands and said to Li Yu.
Li Yu pointed to the stone bench next to him and motioned for him to sit on it.
Qingyang hesitated for a moment, then sat down without any politeness.
Li Yu is actually quite curious about Taoist priests and what Taoist priests usually do.
More importantly, he has always wondered why he was reborn, but he couldn't tell others about it.
This matter is too metaphysical, and it seems that only Taoists like them can explain it.
"Can you tell fortunes?" Li Yu said.
He looked at the Taoist priest in front of him leisurely.
Qingyang was stunned when he heard this, shook his head honestly and said:
"I won't."
So direct...
Li Yu felt a little funny in his heart. He originally thought that this little Taoist priest could start telling his fortune and tell some specious things.
Or put on a posture that the secret cannot be leaked.
As a result, Taoist Qingyang directly said that he didn't know how.
"Then what do you Taoist priests usually do?"
Li Yu asked again.
"Uh..." Qingyang was silent for a long time, stuttering for a minute.
Then three words popped out:
"Hard to say."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" The cannon next to him heard this and suddenly couldn't hold back and laughed.
Even Li Tie and others next to him laughed.
Standing next to Li Yu, the jackal seemed to be looking around with a faint smile on his face at the moment.
Hearing the laughter, Qingyang's face turned red again, feeling a little embarrassed.
However, he really doesn't know how to tell fortunes.
He doesn't know how to lie, he just can't.
Li Yu had a smile on his face and glanced at Cannon and Li Tie, who were laughing a little wildly behind them.
This fucking cannon is completely different from when I first encountered it.
What a dull and melancholy person I was back then, why am I so... now?
Li Tie and Li Gang were also a little crooked...
Li Yu straightened his expression and said to Qingyang, "Aren't you going to do anything?"
Qingyang shook his head and said seriously: "Understand the great road."
It seems that he felt that it was a bit disrespectful to say only four words. After all, he just said three words and made people laugh.
Then he added: "In the past, it was mainly morning and evening classes, chanting sutras and practicing martial arts, and performing rituals and praying in the Taoist temple. Nothing else..."
Li Yu nodded when he heard this and didn't say anything more about it.
Then he said to Qingyang: "Then what do you think of the outbreak of the end of the world? Do you believe in fate? Or, from the perspective of Taoism, is the outbreak of the end of the world somehow destined?"
Based on this, Li Yu wanted to introduce Qingyang to Qingyang and talk about rebirth or reincarnation.
But who would have expected.
Qingyang's face turned red and hesitantly said: "I, um, I'm not very good at my studies. I don't know much about this either."
He smiled again when he saw the cannon next to him.
He quickly said: "However, the core idea of Taoism is that Tao follows nature, governs by doing nothing, and lives in harmony with nature. The reason why the end of the world breaks out may be related to human beings' greed for nature and the distortion of human nature for profit... "
Li Yu looked at Qingyang, feeling as if he couldn't answer the question in class before the end of the world, and then forced to guess the answer.
"Then according to what you said, the end of the world will break out because people are too greedy for nature.
The punishment that nature inflicts on humans is deserved and natural.
Then why did you go down the mountain to save people and save the common people? "
As soon as he said this, the jackal turned his head, his eyes flashing. He also wanted to know this question.
In the apocalypse, moral decay of human nature is the norm, and murder is the norm.
Ruthlessness is the norm, and only ruthlessness can survive.
In such an apocalyptic world where people would do anything to survive, a group of people ran down the mountain and took the initiative to save others.
It's nothing more than a fantasy, and it's hard for people to believe.
After Qingyang heard this question, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
It took a long time to hold back a few words: "My senior brother said he was going down the mountain to save people. I think it makes sense, so I should listen to him."
well.
Li Yu sighed, he even doubted whether this was a fake Taoist priest.
But based on his observations, it's true.
Not only is it true, this Qingyang is also real, very real.
A pure heart, a pure heart.
This is rare before the end of the world, and even more rare after the end of the world.
A long while.
Qingyang said hesitantly: "I think good people don't deserve to die. I also met some bad people on the road. They lied to me, so some people are not worth saving.
But I also met good people. There will always be good people, so we have to do something. We are saving good people. "
Li Yu smiled and asked: "What about me? Am I a good guy or a bad guy?"
"Good man." Qingyang blurted out.
Li Yu smiled very brightly.
Not blushing at all.
In his heart, he added half a sentence to what Qingyang said just now: good people don't deserve to die, but good people must die.
In other words, good people...will die.
This is in the last days.
Da Pao, Li Tie and others standing nearby twitched their mouths.
This Qingyang Taoist priest said that the elder brother is a good person?
Still so sure?
It's because the heads in Oil City were dried up and I didn't see them after they were removed.
He was afraid that he had never seen how many people his eldest brother killed and how ruthlessly he killed.
They dare to say that the eldest brother is not a bad person, but he is definitely not a good person.
A good person will root out the problem at the slightest sign of disagreement?
Although the eldest brother is not a good person, he will not kill people for no reason.
The eldest brother is good to them and his own people.
This is enough in the last days.
