34 Sincerity Is a Knife

When Li Yu heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "We'll talk about it later. Let's see how he performs."

When Second Uncle heard this, he did not say anything else.

As Li Hang drove, Li Yu rolled down the window a little. The cool air entered the car and blew Li Yu's hair. He looked at the darkening sky outside the window and fell into deep thought.

Yang Tianlong and his sister had grown up together. Although they had not been in contact for a while, they knew each other well. Through their contact just now, the two of them had not changed much. It was not impossible for them to enter the base.

As for Zhao Dapao, he was a fellow soldier with Gang, Tie, and Tianlong. He knew the two brothers and Yang Tianlong. Since the four of them could get along, it meant that Zhao Dapao was not a bad person. Otherwise, with Yang Tianlong's temper, he would not have accepted him.

After all, Li Yu had yet to come into deep contact with it, so he could not make rash judgments.

However, it might not be enough to rely on Uncle Lai's family alone in the base. If outsiders invaded in the future, the stronger they were, the better. Moreover, the farmland and resources in the base could support more than 60 people.

It was not impossible to accept some suitable people.

Let's make contact and see. If this person is alright, we can keep him. Thinking of this, Li Yu slowly heaved a sigh of relief.

The convoy went down the national highway and then turned onto the village road.

The group drove for a while and went on a cement road. From the outside, this small road looked inconspicuous. If one did not know in advance that they were going this way, it would be easy to ignore when ordinary people were driving.

In addition, they were surrounded by forests. Under the cover of the forests, ordinary people could not imagine that there was such a huge base not far from this village road.

When they reached the bottom of the wall, Third Uncle exclaimed, "I thought you were building a farmhouse. You're a f*cking fortress!"

Li Yu did not answer. After turning on the headlights, he stuck his head out of the car window and waved at Fourth Uncle and Uncle-in-law, who were on the watchtower.

Fourth Uncle saw headlights from afar from the watchtower and picked up his crossbow warily. He only relaxed when he gradually saw that it was the convoy of Li Yu and the others.

When Fourth Uncle saw Li Yu waving at him, he calmed down a little. He went downstairs and opened the middle door, then slowly opened it.

First Uncle got out of the car and led Li Haoxian and the others to deal with the zombies behind the car. When Yang Tianlong saw this, he followed them to deal with these zombies.

Li Yu turned around and looked around. He asked Li Hang to bring the younger generation in first.

After dealing with the few zombies following them, Second Uncle looked at Yang Tianlong and Zhao Dapao, then at Li Yu, as if asking what to do next.

After Yang Tianlong finished dealing with the zombies, he and Zhao Dapao stood under the wall and clicked their tongues in wonder.

Li Yu had always been open and honest. He didn't like to beat around the bush. He liked to make things clear first. As long as he agreed to something, he wouldn't hide it and delay it.

Looking at Yang Tianlong and Zhao Dapao, Li Yu smiled and walked over slowly.

"Tianlong, I have something to tell you first."

When Yang Tianlong and the others saw that Li Yu had something to say, they immediately stopped the discussion and quieted down to listen to Li Yu.

Li Yu said straightforwardly, "You've been on your way back, so you should know what's going on. The apocalypse has arrived."

"Zombies are scary. Humans can be scary sometimes."

"Food, safety is the most important. I have to protect my family. For the safety of my family, there are some things I have to tell you in advance."

"Tianlong, you know that my family is relatively kind. I'm also relatively kind, but I was forced by the apocalypse to think about some things."

Yang Tianlong looked at Li Yu and did not know what he was going to say.

Although Li Yu had a smile on his face, his tone was emotionless as he continued to speak objectively.

"Tianlong, we grew up together. Although we haven't seen each other for many years, I believe in you from an emotional point of view. However, from an objective and rational point of view, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I might not know about your changes, so I'm still a little vigilant."

"Dapao, you're Tianlong, Tie, and Gang's brother, so we're brothers too. But let me be frank. We're not familiar with each other, so I can't trust you too much for the time being."

When the two of them heard Li Yu's words, they felt very uncomfortable, especially Yang Tianlong. He had always treated Li Yu as a brother!

Immediately after, Li Yu said, "I don't want to test each other with human nature. Relationships change easily. The pros and cons drive people to make decisions."

"People are selfish, and so am I. I am selfish because I only want to protect my family."

"From my point of view, our current base also needs some suitable people to join. You were once soldiers, so you're undoubtedly very suitable."

"For you, now that the apocalypse has arrived, food is difficult to obtain, and human nature is sometimes very despicable. At the moment, you don't have many places to go. I can provide sufficient food, a superior environment, and safety!"

"Tianlong, we're more familiar with each other, so we feel safer when we get along. Xiaozhu is also safer here. If you can join us, I'll be very happy."

"Dapao, I don't like to beat around the bush. As long as you can join sincerely, I won't mistreat you."

"But if I find out that you have thoughts you shouldn't have, I'll kill you."

"In addition, I don't want to save the world for the time being, because I'm not capable enough now. The people in the base are all my family members, and I can't be bothered to take in some people who don't know their background. It's too difficult to manage, and it's also risky."

"Therefore, if it's not necessary, I'm not willing to save some other strangers."

"Lastly, to be safe, you might need to give me your weapons for the time being. Are you willing to do that?" said Li Yu.

Li Yu said a lot. Yang Tianlong and Zhao Dapao fell silent.

However, Yang Tianzhu did not seem to care at all. After handing the weapon to Li Yu, he ran to play with Li Yuan.

Li Yu's words were a little hurtful, but it was better than hiding it and causing some unacceptable consequences.

Yang Tianlong looked at Li Yu with a complicated gaze and felt a little sad. However, when he saw Li Yu's family, he understood.

Zhao Dapao also looked at Li Yu in surprise. This was the first time he had met such a person who was so direct. He put all his considerations and pros and cons in front of him.

This was a little f*cking difficult to handle…

If it was an ordinary person, they might not say anything, but they would be on guard behind their backs.

Although Li Yu's words were objective and unpleasant to the point of being heartless, his words were honest and clear. Although he was cold and heartless, he was sincere enough!

Sincerity was like a knife. It hurt no matter who it cut!

Both of them were moved by Li Yu's frank and honest words.

Yang Tianlong looked at Li Yu and then at Zhao Dapao.

When he thought about how so many people had died in the world, how less than 10% of them survived, and how the government was gone…

He thought about the various couples he had seen along the way. In order to survive, men and women abandoned each other without hesitation. He had seen b*stards who would exchange their wives for a packet of instant noodles…

Having been a soldier for many years, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. Defend the people, but if most of the people had become inhuman, was there a need to protect them?

On the other side, Yang Xiaozhu was pulling Li Yuan's face. Li Yuan's round face was changing into different styles. Yang Xiaozhu was excited.

He sighed slowly. Forget it, let's talk about the future.

Zhao Dapao handed over the two hammers as well. Zhao Dapao, who was at the side, also handed over the large axe.

Upon seeing this scene, Li Yu's smile became even brighter.

Trust went both ways. Since they were willing to take a step forward, he naturally did not mind taking a step forward.
