Chapter 1756 - 957: Departure from the Fifth Satellite City

September 27.

Eight in the morning.

Fifth Satellite City.

Outside the prefab house in the city, Old Huang reluctantly looked at the cart. This cart had made great contributions since they arrived at the Fifth Satellite City.

But at this moment they could not take it with them.

"Old Huang, stop looking and let’s go. We’ll come back for it later; it’s not going to run away," Xiao Ye said to Old Huang.

"Yeah, Old Huang, we can’t take it. Guo Peng said long ago that every person is limited in luggage, otherwise, we can’t fit so many people," Noble Consort also persuaded from the side.

Old Huang shook his head and said, "Leaving it here, when we leave, the new Cooperative Personnel outside will come in, and our cart will definitely suffer. Just afraid when we return... oh, well, there’s nothing we can do now. Let’s go, let’s go."

After speaking, he picked up the luggage from the ground, slung it over his shoulder, and headed toward the vehicles parked in the center.

To transport all the Outer City personnel, Extra Staff, and old Cooperative Personnel from the Satellite City back to the base, Guo Peng utilized all the vehicles in the Satellite City.

Sitting in the truck’s cargo bed, Old Huang squeezed in.

"Old Huang, you came too," old Cooperative Personnel Luo Gui saw Old Huang and greeted with a smile.

"Oh, Brother Gui, what a coincidence, we’re on the same truck again," Old Huang said with a smile.

"Old Huang," another voice came from beside him.

Hmm?

Old Huang looked perplexed further inside the truck.

There were simply too many people, and everyone had luggage, filling the entire truck bed, leaving no gaps between people.

A head suddenly poked out between two pieces of luggage.

"Jiu Ge, you’re on this truck too," Old Huang recognized and said.

"Yes, I was just about to call you, but saw you get on, so I got squeezed in," Jiu Ge’s face was a bit flushed, looking like he was uncomfortable in this position.

Seeing him like this, Old Huang quickly said, "Alright, alright, go back to your seat, or when the vehicle starts, you’ll be crushed by the luggage."

Jiu Ge nodded with difficulty and then retracted his head.

Guo Peng looked at people within the city board the vehicles successively and asked the team members from the building, "How’s the check? Is there anyone left out?"

"No one left, should all be on the vehicles."

Guo Peng nodded and then picked up a megaphone to broadcast to the entire Satellite City once more:

"We’re about to depart. Is there anyone who hasn’t gotten on yet? Hurry up and get on."

Dozens of vehicles, except for two material trucks and four trucks, were mostly some new-energy electric trucks assigned from the base or other pickups owned by Extra Staff themselves.

Guo Peng waited under the vehicle for a few minutes, seeing no one come out afterward.

Then he got on the vehicle and said to the driver, "Let’s go, back to Big Camphor Tree Base."

Vroom vroom vroom——

The driver started the vehicle, driving toward the gate.

After driving out, a dense crowd of new Cooperative Personnel stood outside.

Guo Peng saw a person at the front of the crowd, hurriedly made the driver stop the car.

Immediately, he got out of the car.

Just after he got off, he thought for a moment and then took a walkie-talkie and two fully charged batteries from the car.

He leisurely walked to this middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man had messy facial hair, but his eyes were sharp; he was the leader of a survivor team from the Southwest.

This team had quite a number of people, more than fifty, counted as one of the larger groups among the new Cooperative Personnel.

More importantly, this team had recently carried out several tasks that attracted Guo Peng’s attention. After interacting a few times, it was found that Feng Lirong was quite good, being stable, reliable, and showing a bit of leadership.

During the last protest, no one from their group participated.

"Feng Lihou, this is the key to the gate. After we leave, you’ll temporarily take over this city, sheltering nearby Cooperative Personnel and providing them protection."

"Furthermore, this is a walkie-talkie. The communication channel is...., the distance from here to Big Camphor Tree Base is too far, and it may not be possible to directly contact Big Camphor Tree Base, but you can contact Fourth Satellite City. The people over there are already arranged.

The Cooperative Personnel in charge over there is a man named Xu Taishan. If you have something to say, you can reach him, and he will relay it."

Feng Lihou was evidently surprised that Guo Peng regarded him so highly to entrust him with such important items. This meant that before Guo Peng and they returned, he would oversee the Fifth Satellite City!

With a somewhat stirred expression, Feng Lihou nodded heavily and said, "Alright, thank you for City Lord Guo’s trust. I will definitely protect this Satellite City well."

Guo Peng glanced at him meaningfully, warning:

"Do a good job. Don’t abuse your power. Your task is simple; just let those Cooperative Personnel in, then close the gate, and await our return."

"Understood, rest assured!" Feng Lihou vowed earnestly.

Guo Peng nodded, then got on the vehicle, and tapped the window to signal the driver to drive.

Vroom vroom——

Dozens of vehicles slowly drove, facing the strong wind, heading toward the direction of the national highway of Big Camphor Tree Base.

Watching the vehicles leave, Feng Lihou tightly held the items in his hand.

Inwardly sighed:

If only those people hadn’t protested back then, perhaps these people could have gone together, rather than being left here.
