The rooftop of Hansen's safe zone. Racine was talking to Li You using the radio. "...Okay, I understand, don't worry." Racine hung up the communication. A rather frail young man came over: "...How about it, Racine?" Racine replied: "Don't worry, Sirleaf, Brother Li You has already sent someone. Just wait, rescue will be here soon." Sirleaf smiled bitterly: "That's good. To be honest, since Hansen fell off the building a week ago, we have been calling for help, but there has been no response. If you hadn't come today, maybe we would have been trapped here. dead." Racine's face was heavy: "However, there are still old people starving to death. It's because I came late." Sirleaf shook his head: "He went on a secret hunger strike to let others survive. He left a few days ago. It would be useless if you came two days earlier." "The emergency food you gave saved the lives of all the rest of us. It's all thanks to you... thank you."
Racine supported him: "You are too weak, so stop talking and go to rest. Leave it to me. Dyke, please help him." Dyke helped Sirleaf to rest aside, while Racine watched the other two members he brought with him carry out the old man who had starved to death in the room because of a voluntary hunger strike, put them in bags, and clenched his fists involuntarily. Tight. ——Racine and Hansen used to have a good relationship. Hansen is a man with a strong personality. As the security director of the tower, many of his ideas are in direct opposition to the prudent Bracken, which is why Hansen finally left the tower. But it is conceivable that the radical decision-making Hansen and the young and energetic Racine will have a lot in common. They had made many plans together, such as changing strongholds, increasing armaments, counterattacking the Rice gang, blowing up the Night Devil's lair...but in the end they were not implemented due to Bracken's opposition. So Hansen left in anger. Racine stayed, always thinking of doing something big and proving himself. Many things happened later, and because of the difficulties in radio communication, Racine and Hansen have not had much contact until today. When Racine took Deck and two others to the downstairs of Hansen's residence, he saw a group of several biters, eating some unlucky guy. And when Racine led his men to kill all the biters and carefully inspected the scene, they were shocked to find that Hansen was not the unlucky guy on the ground. It was the last zombie he had just killed with his own hands. "Dang Cang——" The metal bat in Racine's hand fell to the ground. He didn't even know how he and others turned off the power around the building and went up to the safe area on the roof. He didn't come back to his senses until Sirleaf came over and gave him a hug that would last him forever. After reacting, he vomited. He remembered clearly that when Hansen left, he resented Bracken and felt that he had lost a congenial companion. He also held Hansen's hand tightly at the door of the tower, hugged him goodbye, and agreed to have a good drink when he escaped from Harlan.
But now, Hansen has turned into a biter with rotten skin and fallen hair, and was sent away with a stick by himself. Racine couldn't accept such a big contrast for a while. It was Sirleaf who noticed Racine's mood and suppressed his weakness to chat with him. Racine noticed that they were in poor condition, so he finally came to his senses and contacted Li You by radio. Soon, help arrived. Hearing the noise, Racine, who had been thinking wildly, turned around and was stunned on the spot: "Brother Li You...!?" Sirleaf was also stunned: "Is he Li You? So young?" Sirleaf hurriedly wanted to get up, but Li You stepped forward and held him down, saying, "You are still very weak, take a good rest." Racine asked: "Brother Li You, why did you come in person?" Li You replied: "I was planning to take Youzi to the entrance of a nearby tunnel to carry road piles and isolation slabs, and I just came over." "Tell me, what's going on?" Racine told him everything he found. Li You analyzed: "It seems that Hansen did not trust others and was not careful enough, which ultimately led to the tragedy. Are you okay?" Racine shook his head and said nothing. Li You added: "Actually, you don't have to think too much. If you hadn't come here today, the survivors here would not have to say much about the final result. It was you who saved them." Racine was silent for a while and then said: "Brother Li You, you don't need to say anything, I understand. I just... seem to understand what you said. Many things cannot be done well by one person." "Hansen's ability to turn into a biter proves that he did not die immediately after falling... If Hansen was willing to trust other people and let others help him, then maybe there would be no such tragic incident..." Li You patted his shoulder to comfort him. It's a good thing that this kid Racine can be touched, but he still has to follow the tasks he prepares for Racine later. Strike while the iron is hot. So Li Youyou said: "Okay, you completed this mission well. You can take a rest when you go back later, and then go to the next mission in the afternoon." Racine nodded and went to rest. At this time, Li You looked at Sirleaf and asked, "If you have no objection, then I will send you back to the tower?" Sirleaf thought for a while and said, "Racine has told me everything. You established a new safe zone and severely damaged the Rice Gang, right?" "Then I think maybe I can help you. If you don't mind, I'll go to your place. Please send the others back to the tower." "Oh?" Li You was stunned. "What are you good at?" Sirleaf replied: "I am Hansen's deputy. I also helped him build the power defense of this building. I wonder if this skill is useful to you?" Li You was slightly surprised at first, then smiled, shook his hand, and said: "It is indeed very useful. Then, the Light Guard welcomes you to join, Sirleaf." Sirleaf is a pleasant surprise. When he heard Racine say that Hansen had become a biter, Li You had already given up this line and was ready to find a way from Alexei.
After all, the safe area of the communication tower where Alexei originally lived also had electrified guardrails, although the scale was much smaller than Hansen's. Now with Sirleaf, it should be no problem to hand over this task to them to complete together. So, Li You brought a backpack of isolation slabs and drove back to the supermarket with Rasin and Sirleaf. Amir was waiting. Seeing Li You and others coming back, he first said hello, then walked towards the remaining survivors, checked the situation one by one, and finally thanked Li You, patted Rasin on the shoulder who was still distracted, and then borrowed Li You's car and took the survivors back to the tower. The tower has a professional doctor Lina, and the medical conditions are better than Li You's. Rasin was ordered by Li You to rest, and Li You was about to go out to continue working as a porter, but he received a communication from Bracken. "Li You! Do you know!?" Even with a little electric rustling sound, Bracken's tone was full of excitement. "The Rice Gang has completely retreated from the slums!" This news really surprised Li You. He asked, "Full retreat? Are you sure?" Bracken replied, "Absolutely true! The scouts I sent out went to several places, confirmed many times, and even captured two Rice gang members to inquire. Rice did order all members to withdraw from the slums and retreat to Zone Zero. Now most of them have left!" Li You fell into deep thought, and then slowly said, "If this is true, then Rice is really more difficult to deal with than I thought." Bracken was stunned, but he didn't react. He has always been very sensitive in this regard. So Li You explained it briefly. If Rice went completely crazy after his headquarters was breached and let his men attack indiscriminately, it would prove that he has reached the end of his road and is actually the least threatening. And if Rice is still unwilling to give up and let the remaining men defend the small strongholds in the slums in order to counterattack later, then Li You only needs to deal with it normally and send people to take down these strongholds one by one. But now, Rice decisively gave up the slums and asked everyone to withdraw to the old city where the Rice Gang was stronger and undamaged. This shows that he has begun to really pay attention to the confrontation with Li You and others, and regards this as a war, so he intends to go all out. After suffering such a big loss twice, he can still choose to evacuate in a weak manner and temporarily forbear and give in. Such a Rice is the most threatening. Now Bracken also reacted: "What should we do? Should we intercept those retreating guys?" Li You said: "They have almost run away, and it is useless even if they are all intercepted. Rice has plenty of people in the old city." He pondered for a moment before saying: "We are also ready to expand our influence to the old city. It's time to prepare for the final battle to expel the Rice Gang." Although Li You's expansion plan has not been completed, the full withdrawal of the Rice Gang to the old city will inevitably lead to a major change in the situation in the old city. And there are still a few people in the old city that Li You must keep, so he has to move. As for the expansion of the slums, it is better to carry out in parallel. So Li You said, "Leave this to me. I will try to go to the old city first and then make plans. I will contact you then." Bracken said, "Okay! If you can't find the way to the zero zone, contact me again. I know someone who may be able to take you there." Li You agreed verbally, but he complained in his heart that you can forget it. When the protagonist Cran in the game wanted to go to the old city, he was almost killed by the person you introduced. I don't plan to step into this trap. After hanging up the call, Li You was about to go out again, and Karim came over again and said that there was something important. Li You sighed, lamenting that it was not easy for him to be the boss, but he still followed Karim. Karim took Li You all the way to the radio communication room converted from the archive room, where old Aiden was working.
Seeing Karim and Li You coming, he stood up immediately. Karim explained to Li You: "Old Aiden received a message today from someone you mentioned before, so I came to see you." "Old Aiden, play the recording." Old Aiden pressed the play button on the recorder. A man's voice came from it: "This is Volkan Yasef Dar. Light guard, can you read it? I have something important to discuss with you. I have sent a messenger, and he will contact you as soon as possible." "This is Volkan..." Hearing this name, Li You, who was a little sleepy, immediately became alert, and even his eyes lit up. Volkan Yasef Dar, the richest man in Harlan, an oil tycoon, and a wealthy man. But these are not important to Li You. What is important is that Dahl is the boss of Tolga and Fatan, the funny brothers in the game. So Li You has been looking for him. Now this guy actually contacted them? However, the message only said that the messenger was coming, but did not specify the specific time. Li You did not wait foolishly, and went out to carry the slate according to the original plan. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, a young man in a suit finally came outside the supermarket and claimed to be Mr. Dar's messenger. At around three o'clock, Li You came back from his trip and met the courier in the supermarket lobby. He is exactly the same as in the game, and his tone of voice is exactly the same as in the game. He looked at Li You and said, "Mr. Li, you must have heard Mr. Dar's message, so I will tell you directly." "The house that Mr. Dar currently lives in is not... stable. Some wandering Les gang members have been harassing him recently. And looking at the entire slum, your organization base should be one of the safest places. "So Mr. Dahl sent me to inquire. If it is convenient and willing to you, Mr. Dahl would be happy to move here and pay you a handsome reward after leaving Harran." After hearing what the messenger said, before Li You said anything, Karim was surprised and said: "Dahl is still in the city? Can't a rich man like him buy a ticket to leave?" The messenger thought for a while and said: "The answer to this question is actually very simple. But I will not answer for Mr. Dahl. I am just a messenger." "Mr. Li You, can you tell me your wishes?" Li You thought for a while, and just when the messenger began to feel that there was no chance, he smiled again: "No problem!" "Please tell Mr. Dar that he is welcome here." Hearing Li You's reply, the messenger breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I will take the original message back to Mr. Dar and say goodbye, Mr. Li You." After seeing off the messenger, Karim asked Li You: "Boss, I haven't asked yet, what do you want to do with Dar?" Others were also curious. Everyone knows that Dar is the richest man in Harlan, but in the current city of Harlan, the title of the richest man is meaningless, and no amount of money can buy an antidote. Li You said: "Actually, it's very simple. The reason why Dar is still stranded in Harlan is for one reason - he was infected." "Based on the military's attitude, whether they are the richest man in Harlan or a high-ranking official in Harlan, they are all subjects who need to be quarantined after being infected. So Dar does not want to go out through the official route."
"And it just so happens that I know he has two people, two engineers, who may be useful to us. It's just..." "Just?" Others were aroused. Just what? "It's just that these brothers... are a bit unique." Li You shook his head, "It's okay, I've thought about it. I will have someone responsible for contacting them when the time comes." Karim and others nodded, no longer asked any more questions, and planned to do their own thing. But Li You suddenly stopped Karim and asked: "By the way, where's Racine?" Dear book friends, the author will try to fix the daily update at 6 pm in the future, otherwise it will be inconvenient for everyone to read. I will update one chapter here first, the second chapter may come later. Because the author's archive of manuscripts is really gone. I just got off work and went home to continue coding.
