Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

"Boom boom boom!"

As the engine roared, the scenery on both sides continued to recede.

Although the war in the demon-occupied area was not going well during this period, we were able to capture a few prisoners and send them back to the gathering place, so the cleanup work on Panshan Avenue was further accelerated.

In places where it is still possible to walk, the soil and tree branches are cleared away, and in places where it is not possible to walk, a new dirt road is built.

This way, the time it takes to travel from the gathering place to the trading point is shortened, and even if you have to take a mountain road, you can now arrive within an hour.

"Uncle Li, don't worry too much." [Uncle Benz] slightly controlled the steering wheel of the van, looked back at Li Bang, and said with a smile.

"If you're worried about your family, you can come back once in a few days."

"Anyway, there are a lot of vehicles traveling between the gathering place and the trading point during this period, and the time is not long."

"Or you could bring Xiao Xing and the others to live at the trading post. Now that you're in charge, the leader will surely give you a house to live in."

I have to say that those little rascals in the refugee camp are quite popular among players.

They are cute and sensible. Even when playing in the gathering place, they will not run around, shout or make any noise.

It turns out that people who hate children don’t really hate children, but they hate naughty children.

"Let them live in the gathering place first. After all, this is a new environment and they may not be able to adapt to it." Li Bang shook his head slightly.

"That's right." Uncle Benz nodded. "Children really can't grow up in a changing environment frequently."

Li Bang also nodded.

In fact, there is a more important point he didn’t mention.

There are now two strongholds in the gathering place, one is the base camp in the valley, and the other is the gathering place outside the valley.

In his opinion, this was the same as Shaling Town and their Lijia Village.

One is the core town of the entire force, while the other is a small village that may be abandoned at any time.

Even if you can only live in the suburbs of a big city, it is still much better than moving to the core area of ​​a small village.

After all, the leader is stationed in the gathering place, and there is also an office of the Yunhe Army here. If something happens, the Yunhe Army can be contacted immediately.

This base camp is definitely the safest place within a radius of 100 miles, except for the Yunhe Army headquarters camp.

In today's world, what we seek is safety.

"The one ahead is the trading point."

Soon, the van drove out of the mountain and turned from an intersection on the side of the highway. Li Bang saw a large flat land.

"Is there no city wall here?"

Li Bang looked at the houses in the trading point, but still did not see the wall that represented "safety", so he immediately turned around and asked Uncle Benz.

"No." Uncle Benz shook his head. "Maybe we'll build an inner city in the future to isolate some important warehouses and buildings from the outside world."

"As for the outer city..."

In fact, after staying in the cities of Blue Star for a long time, players don’t think city walls are a necessity.

However, considering that the gathering place does not have the ability to bombard the area with artillery fire, if there are too many monsters attacking the city, perhaps we will really have to rely on the city walls for defense?

But this is not the border, so it is unlikely that so many demons would gather together.

The van was getting closer and closer to the trading point, and the simple shacks built in the south finally appeared in Li Bang's eyes.

"That's where the refugees live," Uncle Benz explained. "The east and south sides of the trading post are currently refugee camps."

"The number of people isn't particularly large right now, so there haven't been any major disturbances for now. However, if we accept more and more refugees in the future, you'll have to be careful."

"Or we can think of some solutions as soon as possible to prevent it from happening."

During the time he was at the trading post, although there were no riots or large-scale fights among the refugees, small-scale frictions were inevitable.

After all, these people have been wandering all the way here, and the brutality in their bones has been aroused to some extent.

If a conflict arises, they will not seek mediation from the players at the trading point first, but will basically take action directly.

To be honest, maybe the trading point really needs a torture device like the one in the south of the gathering place.

At least we have to scare these people.

No one stopped the van, and it drove smoothly all the way to the trading point.

Because there are only about 200 people living in such a large place, the trading point looks a bit deserted.

"Finally here."

After parking the car on the side of the mission hall, [Uncle Benz] immediately opened the door and jumped out of the car, then stretched himself comfortably.

Li Bang first carried Xiaoxing out from the back seat, then immediately opened the trunk and took out the goods one by one.

"Let me help you."

A refugee passing by saw Li Bang moving things, so he immediately came over and helped move several boxes in a row.

"thank you."

After Li Bang was sure that he had taken everything, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the kind-hearted man.

Then his eyes widened instantly.

"Li Ji?? Why are you here?"

Chapter 239 Nothing to worry about

"you are?"

Li Bang's reaction seemed to scare Li Ji. He stood there in a daze, his eyes full of questions.

"I'm your Uncle Li Bang."

Li Bang took two steps forward, patted Li Ji's shoulder excitedly, and looked around.

"Are you alone? Where are the others in the village?"

Yes, Li Bang is from Lijia Village, Shaling Town.

However, because he had lived in the town since he grew up, he did not have time to return to the village when he fled.

Most of the other people in his convoy were in the same situation. They were all migrant workers from all over the country. Under the threat of the rebel army, they were forced to gather together for warmth and flee eastward.

"We ran away following our fourth uncle." Li Ji nodded very honestly.

As he spoke, he looked at Li Bang very carefully, and then he suddenly realized it on the spot.

"Uncle Li Bang, is that the Uncle Li Bang who used to live at the entrance of the village?!"

His tone was a little excited, and his hands and feet began to dance unconsciously.

"Yes." Li Bang said with a smile and patted Li Ji's shoulder.

"When you were little, I brought you toys from town. I didn't expect you to be so big now."

When he met his own people, Li Bang's mood was obviously much more excited, and the smile on his face never stopped after he confirmed Li Ji's identity.

You know, Li Ji didn't recognize his identity just now, but still came up to help him when he was moving things.

The children in our Lijia Village are indeed kind-hearted.

"Old Li is here."

Tang Yi walked out of the mission hall and happened to see Li Bang reminiscing with Li Ji, while a middle-aged man was following him half a step behind him.

Li Bang? !

The middle-aged man's eyes widened instantly, and he subconsciously wanted to jog over, but he forced himself to stop. However, the surprise in his eyes could not be suppressed no matter what.

"leader!"

When Li Bang turned around, he saw Tang Yi and Li Si following behind him.

He ran over quickly, and Li Ji stood there prudently, helping Li Bang guard the pile of goods here.

It just weighed them and found that these boxes were quite heavy, probably filled with metal.

And judging from Li Bang's cautious look, it should be some precision metal objects, which are what humans are best at making.

So what are these?

Some kind of instrument? Or some kind of weapon?

"Let me introduce you, this is Li Si, who fled here from Lijia Village in Shaling Town." Tang Yi took a step to the side, then looked at Li Bang and said with a smile.

"He will temporarily serve as your assistant during this period, helping you handle the affairs of the trading point."

That’s right, Li Si is the assistant Tang Yi chose for Li Bang.

After all, not long after the talents from Lijia Village moved to the trading point, Li Si became familiar with the other refugee groups.

In addition, this person has a soft personality and looks honest, so it would be perfect for him to be responsible for mediating conflicts among refugees.

Not to mention that he is a member of Li Ji's clan.

Tang Yi glanced silently at Li Ji who was sitting beside the box in a daze.

He asked Li Si to participate in the management of the trading point, maybe he could catch other monsters behind this big fish.

"This is Li Bang, who also fled from Shaling Town."

After introducing Li Si, Tang Yi also introduced Li Bang in the same way.

Then he saw that the two of them looked at each other and didn't seem like strangers, so he smiled and asked:

"Why, did you two know each other before?"

Li Bang immediately explained: "Fourth brother is from the same hometown as me. I am also from Lijia Village. We grew up together when we were young."

He had no intention of lying or hiding anything.

He dare not.

"Oh, that's quite a coincidence." Tang Yi said with a smile.

The three of them did not continue to stand at the door of the mission hall, but called Li Ji and [Uncle Benz] to move the things they had brought into the mission hall.

And Li Ji finally got what he wanted and saw what was in the box.

There are several screens and several small robots.

That's nothing to worry about.

"I have already told Li Si what he is going to do. Is Old Li clear about what you are here to do?" Tang Yi looked at the new stars who started to install the screens, then turned to look at Li Bang and asked.

"I only know a general idea, but I'm not sure about the details." Li Bang saw that he couldn't help with the delicate work, so he could only watch from the side with Tang Yi.

"Well, actually, it's similar to what Keyu did at the gathering place." Tang Yi continued.

"It's mainly about receiving new refugees from outside and dealing with some disputes in the current refugee camps."

To be honest, although there are many players, their ability to handle conflicts is really not very good.

When I see two men arguing, I start by saying:

"Fuck! Let's just have a fight! Fight him!"

When you see a confrontation between a man and a woman, it depends on your personal preference to be the cyber judge.

In the end, often nothing becomes something, and small things become big things.

If there is a problem, we have to connect to Xia Keyu through Xiaoxing, and then let Maomao bring people to deal with it.

The efficiency is extremely low.

"Most of the time, they will tell you what needs to be done, and you are responsible for carrying it out." As he spoke, he pointed to several small robots that were busy.

Hearing this, Li Bang actually felt relieved.

According to Tang Yi, he is actually more like an executor.

In other words, he is Xiaoxing's spokesperson in the trading point.

The one that is a little more autonomous is the handling of refugee affairs, but all the work must be reported to Xiaoxing after it is completed.

That's great.

If he were really asked to be the person in charge of the trading point, he would actually be a little scared.
