Chapter 133: Testing Everyone

On the truck, Liu Tianyao asked with some worry: "Little Yu, is it really okay if we don't leave one or two people there to keep watch?"

"That's right, there are still so many good things in the villa's basement. If they take advantage of our absence and break into the basement..."

Someone stopped mid-sentence; what they were worried about in their hearts was not just the property in the basement, but even more so that the people of Li Family Fort would go back on their word, and when the time came, they would close the doors and not let them in, which would be awkward.

"It's fine."

Lu Yu smiled and comforted them: "We are going to live with them next, so I specifically entrusted a few people to keep an eye on the situation."

Taking this opportunity, it is just right to see what the character of these people is like.

If their character is good, we will treat them sincerely after we move over; if their character is bad, then we must use both kindness and force—keep the good ones and drive away the bad ones.

"So that's how it is." The few people suddenly realized, and could not help but feel surprised at Lu Yu's thorough consideration.

It must be said that this is indeed a good opportunity to test the people of Li Family Fort.

Everyone was silently hoping in their hearts that the people of Li Family Fort would definitely not let them down.

As time passed second by second, the outline of Lu Family Stockade gradually became clear in everyone's sight.

Looking at that familiar Zhai, the eyes of Liu Tianhong and the others could not help but turn red.

It had clearly been less than a month since they left, yet it felt like several years had passed, and they had even once thought they would never see Lu Family Stockade again in this lifetime.

Hearing Lu Yu recount on the road, the people inside the Zhai were living quite well now; not only could everyone eat their fill, but they had also started learning martial arts.

By the way, the people from Qin Family Stronghold had also joined Lu Family Stockade.

I really didn't expect that in such a short time, the Zhai would have undergone so many changes.

Liu Tianhong cast his gaze toward Lu Yu, his heart filled with deep emotion.

If one were to talk about the biggest change, it was undoubtedly Lu Yu.

His growth rate in strength was simply too fast; if it weren't for Lu Yu, they would probably still be facing Li Meng's fury right now, right?

At this very moment, on the Watchtower of Lu Family Stockade, a lookout was observing the situation in the surroundings through a Telescope.

Suddenly, as if he had seen something incredible, he was stunned for a moment, then his mouth opened wide, his eyeballs almost popped out, and then his face was instantly filled with wild joy.

He hurriedly turned around and struck the assembly bell with force.

Accompanied by the bell echoing through the Zhai, the Zhai residents who were busy everywhere came rushing toward the place where the bell was ringing with blank expressions.

"Lao Du, what's going on? I remember the Hunting Team didn't go out hunting today, right?"

"That's right, we were just here sparring with our marksmanship, and it was going well!" Sun Gang shouted while running, his face full of confusion.

"I was still cooking, oh my, with no one watching, it won't burn, will it?" a woman said anxiously.

"Lao Du, you wouldn't be bored with nothing to do and just ringing the bell for fun, would you?" someone teased.

"Bullshit!"

Lao Du could not help but curse, then pointed his finger to the south and said excitedly: "I saw Little Yu bringing Tianhong, Tianyao, and the others back. They are driving a big truck and are rushing this way; they should be here soon."

"What!"

This sentence was like a heavy bomb, instantly making the whole scene quiet down. Everyone's faces were filled with expressions of disbelief.

"Lao Du, you, what did you just say?" Lu Guohao asked with his lips trembling slightly; he was both afraid that he had misheard and worried that this was just a false hope.

"Guohao, I'm saying I saw Tianhong and the others coming back. Tianyao, they are all on the truck, they have all come back!" As Lao Du spoke, his voice became somewhat choked, and tears could not stop streaming down his face.

These words clearly reached everyone's ears, and everyone stood frozen on the spot, unable to react for a moment.

"Is it true? Did Tianhong and the others really come back?"

"That's not very likely, right? Weren't they at Li Family Fort? Li Meng and his gang are famous for being ruthless; how could they possibly let them go?"

"It's Little Yu! It must be Little Yu who went to pick them up. No wonder, no wonder we didn't see him all morning."

"That's right, I also heard Lao Du say Little Yu was there too. Could it be that the reason we didn't see Little Yu this morning is because he went to Li Family Fort and brought Tianhong and the others back?"

Everyone spoke one after another, looking at each other, unable to believe this sudden good news.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and open the gate, won't you know if you go out and look?" Zhao Shan said, and was the first to rush toward the Zhai gate, opening the big gate with force.

Only then did everyone wake up as if from a dream, following behind him one after another, surging out of the Zhai like a tide.

Then, they saw a big truck slowly driving toward them, and it looked like it was less than three hundred meters away.

There were quite a few people standing on the truck bed, desperately waving their hands; those familiar faces were ones they would never forget even until they died.

"It's Tianhong and the others! It really is Tianhong and the others who have come back!"

"It really is them, it really is them!"

"Tianhong! Tianyao!"

Everyone was so excited that they ran forward regardless of everything, calling out the names of their loved ones.

"They're back, they've finally all come back." Lu Guohao reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Wang Liang also stood at the gate, watching this scene, his eyes already moist.

Lu Family Stockade was currently presenting a lively and joyous scene.

Whether it was the energetic adults, the innocent and lively children, or the elderly with a vigorous Spirit, everyone was crowded around Liu Tianhong and the others, listening intently to them recount their various experiences at Li Family Fort.

At first, everyone's faces were filled with relaxed and happy smiles, but as Liu Tianhong recounted, the smiles gradually froze on their faces, and their brows could not help but knit tighter and tighter.

When they heard that Liu Tianhong and the others were sent to build the wall and that Chen Suhua was even threatened, the anger in everyone's hearts flared up instantly, and they all indignantly condemned them.

"These people from Li Family Fort are simply too outrageous!"

"More than just outrageous, they have simply done every evil thing and committed every crime!"

"That's right, Tianhong and the others worked hard for them, and these inhumane things actually had evil intentions toward Su Lan. Are they even human?"

"They are simply worse than beasts!"

"Then what happened later?" Lu Guohao asked impatiently.

"Later, Li Laosan and the others didn't know what happened; they never returned to Li Family Fort. They probably met with an accident."

"Li Meng took people out to search, and it was at this critical moment that Little Yu arrived in time and saved us." Liu Tianhong said, looking at Lu Yu with gratitude.

"So that's how it is." Lu Guohao and the others suddenly realized, understanding the ins and outs of the matter.

"Little Yu, such a big thing as you going to Li Family Fort, why didn't you tell us?" Zhao Shan said with a look of being unable to laugh or cry.

"That's right, we all thought you were practicing archery near the Zhai." Everyone looked at Lu Yu, for a moment not knowing how to express the feelings in their hearts.

Qin Lianjun, Qin Hai, and the others on the side were not familiar with Liu Tianhong and his group, but seeing this scene before them, their hearts were also deeply touched.

They couldn't help but think that if they were in a predicament in the future, if Lu Yu knew, he would surely come to save them without hesitation, just like he rescued Liu Tianhong and the others.

"Hey, I was also afraid that if it didn't succeed, it would just be a false joy for everyone."

Lu Yu explained with a smile, then looked at Liu Tianhong and the others, saying sincerely: "Liu Shu, you have seen it too, everyone misses you all very much. Since you've returned this time, don't leave again."

Hearing this, Liu Tianhong's eyes instantly turned red, and he hurriedly said: "We won't leave, we will never leave again. Guohao, last time, it was our fault, we shouldn't have abandoned..."

Lu Guohao hurriedly reached out to stop him from continuing, tears of excitement glistening in his eyes as he said: "Let the past be the past. From now on, let's work together and live well in this difficult apocalypse."

"Right, work together!"

"Work together!"

Everyone shouted in unison, their voices firm and powerful.

Looking at this scene of unity, a gratified smile bloomed on Lu Yu's face.

He thought to himself that with Liu Shu and the others joining the Hunting Team, he could venture into those dangerous areas of the Wasteland more boldly in the future.

After all, just hunting Low-level Fierce Beasts made the speed of strength improvement far too slow.

As everyone's emotions gradually calmed down, the atmosphere also grew quiet.

Seeing this, Lu Yu coughed lightly, successfully attracting everyone's attention.

"Dad, uncles, I have an idea. Should we all move to Li Family Fort?"

"Move to Li Family Fort?" Hearing this, Lu Guohao and the others were all astonished, some not having reacted yet.

"That's right." Lu Yu then told everyone in detail about what he had seen and heard at Li Family Fort.

After hearing this, everyone was moved. The walls of Li Family Fort were tall and sturdy, the interior space was spacious, and it even had the conditions for farming.

There was also a dedicated martial arts training ground, and the weapons in the Warehouse were well-stocked.

The villa basement even held a large amount of supplies. By comparison, the current Lu Family Stockade was indeed far inferior.

"Guohao, why don't we move there as soon as possible?" Zhao Shan could not suppress the excitement in his heart and was the first to suggest it.

"That's right, other aspects are fine, but the key is that we can grow food there, and we will be able to achieve self-sufficiency in the future."

Lu Guohao pondered for a moment, then nodded decisively and said: "Good, let's go back and prepare, and move early tomorrow morning."

There was indeed no reason not to move. Now the Zhai had a truck and more than twenty Horned Horses, which greatly reduced the difficulty of moving.

Hearing this, everyone smiled happily, their hearts full of longing for a better life in the future.

On the large truck, there were still many daily supplies stored, such as towels, soap, shampoo, and canned meat.

Lu Yu distributed these supplies one by one; after all, he could not use them all by himself.

The Martial Artists in the Zhai also received some extra Blood Rice.

It turned out that when Lu Yu was searching carefully in the Warehouse later, he found several hundred catties of Blood Rice worth three yuan per catty, presumably prepared for Li Laosan.

Everyone happily took the distributed supplies back to prepare for tomorrow's relocation.

One hour later, in the small room next to the Warehouse.

Lu Yu recounted the detailed process of the matter to Wang Liang, as there were some details that Liu Tianhong and the others were not aware of.

After listening, a trace of worry faintly appeared between Wang Liang's brows.
