Chapter 296
Just as Moore and his group were heading south, a group of people also returned from Ideal Town south of Atlanta.
It was Lu Jiayi and his group, but not all of the original thirty-plus people came back. Only Lu Jiayi and a few soldiers returned to the town.
Ideal town meeting room.
Lu Jiayi sat at the chief seat, and on both sides were the heads of various departments in the base.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, I'll give a brief introduction."
He patted the table to draw people's attention.
"It's like this. I brought three people back this time. Wells stayed there because we found a military base in the north of Knoxville. There are abundant supplies there, and there is also a hydroelectric power station that has been running. In addition, there are a few things in this place that we can't bring back, so we have to send some people to garrison there."
Rick was sitting next to him and asked curiously.
"Why does your tone make me feel like what's there is very important?"
"That's right, because it's not a simple base, but a missile launch base!"
"What!"
Everyone in the room, whether they were the protagonists or the others, opened their eyes wide and their mouths opened wide.
"Haha, don't be surprised yet, I haven't finished talking yet."
Sean asked, stuttering a bit.
"Is there... Is there something else?"
As if in response to his thoughts, Lu Jiayi nodded, tapping the table with his hand and continued.
"It's a missile base, yes, but this place is also a supply point, storing several production lines from the war. In other words, as long as we can get the raw materials, we can make our own weapons and ammunition."
"Wow~ This is so..."
Glenn was about to sigh when he saw Lu Jiayi gently shaking his finger again. The smile on his face made everyone in the room feel like they were being fooled. Michonne couldn't help but put down her crossed legs and asked loudly.
"Okay, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us now! Were you just teasing us?"
"Haha, that's not the case. We also got a map this time. The storage locations of the weapons and equipment we brought back were all found on the map, and those were only a small part of it."
"That is to say, we basically don't have to worry about subsequent weapons and ammunition issues."
At this moment, Aji felt like he was floating on air. He was already extremely happy when he received that batch of supplies a few days ago. Now, hearing this news, he was simply ecstatic.
Seeing that everyone in the room started to discuss excitedly, Lu Jiayi was not in a hurry and just waited quietly for them to talk.
About ten minutes later, the excitement of the crowd finally passed. They finally remembered that they were still in a meeting, and their eyes all turned to the podium.
"That's about all the important things. Oh, there's one more thing I want to tell you about."
After organizing his words, Lu Jiayi put away his smile and his expression became slightly more serious.
"You should know that I sent Moore to Texas for a purpose. As far as I know, there is an open-air oil mine in Texas, and Moore's purpose of going there this time is to collect a large amount of fuel oil."
"Don't we have power generation equipment now? Why are we still collecting fuel oil? Besides, we still have a lot of fuel in reserve, right?"
Some people couldn't help but raise questions, and some of them couldn't understand the purpose of doing this.
However, a hint of nostalgia appeared on Lu Jiayi's face, and his voice became a little ethereal.
"Everyone should know that I am from Yan country. I am not from the United States. I am a real Yan country. When the doomsday broke out, I just came here to visit my relatives. I didn't expect to encounter the damn doomsday."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. It was the first time they heard Lu Jiayi talk about his life experience. No one disturbed him. The conference room was unusually quiet for a moment, with only Lu Jiayi's not-so-loud voice.
"I am not only a Yan countryman, I am also a Yan country soldier. At this moment, I am trapped here and there is nothing I can do. However, once I have the opportunity to go home, I definitely hope to go back. After all, my family and compatriots are there."
"Lu, aren't you a staff member of the CDC? Why are you saying now that you are here to visit relatives?"
Tatiana took over the topic and explained.
"What Lu said is correct. He worked at the CDC because of my invitation. He was not a staff member of the CDC before."
"I see."
The Jenners helped explain and there was no need for Lu Jiayi to speak. After the problem was solved, Lu Jiayi continued speaking.
"Because of you, I have not chosen to leave yet, but one day I will have to go back. Once I leave, I will need fuel. By then, the existing fuel may be ineffective. I can only make preparations in advance."
"Lu, are you planning to return to Yan Country?"
"Um."
"Do you know what's going on over there now?"
"I don't know, maybe it's the same as here, maybe it's better, or..."
Everyone knew what he wanted to say. According to the population of Yan Country, if the situation became bad, the number of zombies they would have to face would be several times that of here.
Rick reached out and patted his shoulder, speaking soothingly.
"Don't worry, maybe the situation over there is very good."
Although he knew that this was a comfort, Lu Jiayi still felt warm in his heart, and Sean beside him suddenly spoke.
"Lu, we can actually go and take a look first. While fuel is easy to find, we can go over there and see the situation. If the situation over there is good, we can definitely move over there."
"Yes, Yan Country has such a large population. Just based on the proportion of survivors, it is several times more than the people here. In addition, Yan Country's municipal administration has always had strong execution capabilities, so the chances of controlling the infection are very high."
Glenn, who is also an Asian, also expressed his opinion. He can now be said to be a fanboy of Lu Jiayi. This leader, who is also an Asian, is capable and charismatic. He believes that with just a word from him, at least 60% to 70% of the people in the base, if not 100%, will choose to follow him away.
Don't underestimate this ratio. Don't forget that many of them didn't know him before. If you extend this range to old team members, I believe the number will rise to 90%.
Listening to what everyone said, Lu Jiayi secretly made up his mind. He planned to get rid of a few major threats as soon as possible, and when the base became safer, he would hurry up and set off.
Once we return, we will not only bring back vaccine technology, but also some advanced equipment and weapons.
"Okay, let's talk about this later. I'll make some arrangements next..."
Eventually, Sean took the lead in command and set out for Knoxville with a detachment of a hundred warriors.
Once this missile base is in his hands, he will have the capital to negotiate with the Federation or CRM.
He also considered whether to move the entire base to Nuocheng, but there were many problems in reality.
Just transporting personnel, supplies, weapons and equipment was a big problem. In addition, Nuocheng’s military base did not have the conditions for planting, so they eventually gave up the plan.
In the following days, Lu Jiayi once again fell into the joy of infrastructure construction and couldn't extricate himself. There were still many things that needed to be built. The power system was still being built, the dormitories were still being built, and the outer perimeter and the expansion of the city wall were also under construction.
After these major projects are completed, the next thing is the details. He plans to lead a team to collect some supplies when the time is right, such as air conditioners, refrigerators and other electrical appliances. These things can not only improve life, but also allow young children to remember these products of civilization.
The world is not always what they see. Lu Jiayi already has some ideas about CRM.
The last year! After one year, he will become the largest force in the United States!
