CHAPTER 930: CHAPTER 647: BIG CAMPHOR TREE BASE POPULATION NEARS 400 (PART 2)

Ju Tianrui thought for a moment and said to Second Uncle and the others, "We’ll come over to help once we finish packing."

Second Uncle shook his head and said, "You better finish packing first. Let’s talk after you have everything sorted."

Following Second Uncle, Ju Tianrui, Xiao Jun, and the others went to the room arranged for them.

It wasn’t their first time entering the Outer City. Ju Tianrui had lived in the Second Outer City during the natural disaster, but it was his first time coming to the residential building in the First Outer City.

Upon entering the residential building of the First Outer City, Ju Tianrui found that the layout was more spacious than the Second Outer City, and the facilities were much better.

They were all military personnel, so they were given double or quadruple rooms.

Although not large, the environment was nice.

There were public showers and toilets outside.

They didn’t have many belongings, so they finished packing in less than half an hour.

Ju Tianrui stood at the entrance of the residential building, stretched broadly, and gazed at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling a sense of ease.

Behind him, he heard the voices of his comrades.

"Dong Tai, don’t snore in the middle of the night. I’m sleeping right across from you," Xiao Jun said cheerfully to Dong Tai.

"Get lost, I never snore."

"Yeah, right...."

Everyone booed him jokingly.

Such brotherly affection can only be felt after joining the military.

Ju Tianrui looked at those seniors in the distance and felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Old Qin, once a member of that mysterious Special Forces team.

Old Luo, a mid-level officer from the Southern Military Region.

Lao Yi, the captain of the security team for Boss Ye from the Southern Military Region.

Lao Zhou....

....

All were brothers, and his heart was inexplicably moved.

Watching them sweat under the zero-degree weather, with some wearing just short sleeves as they worked.

He then shouted to his comrades behind him, "Brothers, don’t just stand there watching, let’s go help!"

"Okay."

"Okay."

Dozens of strong men ran toward the greenhouses outside the residential building.

Old Qin saw them coming and a hint of a smile appeared on his lips.

Standing on the lift, after pushing a solar panel up, he looked down at Ju Tianrui and the others and asked, "Why are you all here?"

Ju Tianrui replied proudly, "We’ve officially joined the Big Camphor Tree Base, we’re here to help now."

Dong Tai was surprised to see the usually serious Camp Commander with such a rare expression of pride.

But he understood, considering Ju Tianrui was facing some esteemed seniors.

Whether in terms of age or pre-Doomsday rank.

If you have someone above you providing support, you feel much more at ease and younger at heart.

However, when the situation demands you take up responsibilities, you naturally become more silent, steady, and serious.

No one doesn’t wish for a mentor, a senior to guide them.

But Li Yu was different; he was used to being strong.

He was accustomed to bearing heavy burdens, his heart completely desolate, empty enough to bear even more.

His core did not rely on external support.

Absolute desolation represented his absolute strength.

......

Old Qin was genuinely happy for them and said with a smile, "Come on."

Ju Tianrui grinned widely, his square face looked upright...and slightly innocent.

With Ju Tianrui and Xiao Jun, there were a total of 85 people, and adding up the Big Camphor Tree Base’s inner and outer city population, it was close to 400 people now.

Old Qin thought to himself, although he wasn’t sure of the exact number.

With the addition of Ju Tianrui and the others, the progress of the First Outer City suddenly accelerated.

Half an hour later.

A few forklifts were driven out from the Second Outer City, with Old Bi and He Chao among them. When He Chao saw Xiao Jun and the others.

He felt a bit puzzled, but quickly understood.

Last time, he already knew that Ju Tianrui and the others were close to reaching the required points, and with the recently completed mission, their entry points to the city were more than sufficient.

Driving over, he greeted Ju Tianrui and the others.

Welcoming them warmly.

Xiao Jun, Ju Tianrui, and the others expressed their gratitude.

He Chao looked at them, sensing the base was steadily becoming stronger.

Watching Old Qin and the others enter the base, watching Old Luo, Old Bi, and the others join, watching He Bing and them come in.....

Unconsciously, the base had so many people now.

He Chao was an elder of the Big Camphor Tree Base, and most people in the Outer City respected him greatly.

He Chao noticed there were too many people on their side, making it crowded and hard to work efficiently, so he spoke to Xiao Jun, whom he was familiar with, "Xiao Jun, you have too many people here, it’s too crowded to get much done, how about you head over to help at the Second Outer City?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jun habitually looked at Ju Tianrui.

Seeing Xiao Jun looking at him, Ju Tianrui said, "Little Xiao, from now on, we’re all part of the Big Camphor Tree Base. There’s only one leader, and that’s Director Li, go on."

Xiao Jun trembled slightly and nodded.

He took over thirty people and went to assist.

Ju Tianrui watched this unfold, feeling calm. Power was indeed good, but it also came with corresponding responsibilities and burdens.

Moreover, joining the Big Camphor Tree Base while trying to maintain control over his team would definitely arouse Li Yu’s suspicion.

He was a smart man, and smart men know how to delegate power.

If he showed a desire to control the team, how could he expect others to trust him?
