Chapter 396 - 387: Too Cautious, Right?
The final decision was to build the exterior wall at a height of 8 meters.
The location of the wall was set near the duty room on the right side of the base.
The planned area was about 20,000 square meters.
That is, it was approximately two hundred meters long and one hundred meters wide, covering about thirty acres.
In addition, within these thirty acres.
The area closer to the base was planned to be about twenty acres for planting and other processing.
The remaining ten acres were designated for the accommodation of extra staff.
Another Weng City was to be constructed in this location and within the Inner City.
This Weng city would be slightly larger, approximately a few thousand square meters in size, where Bai Jie's re
Because with just the four kilograms of rice they received each month, they could barely survive.
This exchange was first and foremost a prior agreement.
Secondly, it was to once again reaffirm the ownership of the Outer City, which belonged entirely to the base.
This was beyond doubt.
Through these days of interaction, Li Yu was quite satisfied with He Chao and his team.
In fact, when they first collaborated, Li Yu had already inquired about them through former Jiefang City residents like Aunt Yutong, Old Xie, Old Lü, and Shang Xue'er.
He knew every detail about He Chao's team, knowing them to be honest and straightforward.
They were ultimately victims of disruptions caused by other groups and vagrants from Jiefang City.
There was no precedent, but there were acquaintances' endorsements of trust.
Nevertheless, Li Yu remained extremely cautious.
After a few collaborations, a certain level of trust had been established.
Later, when people from Safe City came in two waves, He Chao's team discovered them early and warned the others, playing a significant role.
And during this time, the clever Second Uncle and elusive Third Uncle had secretly observed them for a long time.
They found nothing out of sorts.
However, Li Yu was overly cautious; he thought it still necessary to conduct a deeper investigation.
Once these people's families moved into the exterior walls and started living there, binding them with shared interests, continual assessments and tests would be implemented.
Li Yu believed in human gratitude, but he trusted even more in the fickleness of human nature.
He believed more in shared interests to fortify trust.
Although they had performed well, Li Yu still dared not trust them easily.
Thus, the path to the inside of the base required Weng City.
And in the duty room of this place, two people needed to be vigilant at all times.
They still had to be prepared for multiple scenarios.
Time was needed, a deeper bond was required.
...
They needed an initiation, a battle.
Li Yu, watching He Chao and others building a house together, was already scheming in his mind; in a few days, once the construction here was completed.
He would take them to Safe City to eliminate future troubles.
It didn't matter if they couldn't shoot; being able to drive was enough, this was also a test.
Li Yu thought and thought, and became somewhat trance-like.
Meanwhile, He Chao and others under the wall were overjoyed, their gazes towards Li Yu filled with gratitude.
These people included women, teenagers, and fathers like He Chao.
Without exception, all had followed He Chao all this way.
Having experienced the turmoil of Jiefang City and the disaster of that winter, they deeply understood how important it was to have a safe haven.
Thus, they were profoundly grateful to Li Yu, their eyes filled with gratitude whenever they saw him.
Li Yu was relatively immune to such gazes.
But his attitude towards them was somewhat better than before.
