<h4>Chapter 1895: Chapter 1996: Sweating Blood for Construction</h4>


    After considering for a moment, Xiang Yu still decided not to tell Number One for the time being. After all, this is a significant matter, and once the news is out, it will inevitably cause a stir.


    Outside, Xiang Yu called Eck. Eck heard there was something to be done, so he hurriedly brought people over.


    "I’ve received news that a batch of military supplies will be passing through here soon," Xiang Yu said very seriously.


    Upon hearing this, Eck was somewhat moved and said, "Should we intercept them?"


    To Eck, this ce was already their territory. Since there was juicy prey passing through, it would be a shame if they didn’t take some.


    Xiang Yu shook his head and said, "We don’t have enough strength to handle these things for now, and others have already set their sights on them, so we can’t act."


    Eck was somewhat disappointed, but he understood, as they hadn’t developed enough yet.


    Currently, the self-defense team doesn’t even have weapons, he can’t let the brothers fight with just kitchen knives.


    "Deploy the self-defense team brothers around, report immediately if there’s any situation," Xiang Yu said.


    Eck nodded and said, "Understood, we’re supposed to let them pass smoothly, right?"


    "No, don’t let them pass through here. I’ll arrange the rest," Xiang Yu said.


    Eck didn’t understand Xiang Yu’s thinking, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, I’ll arrange it right away."


    The self-defense team was fully deployed, positioned around the city, reporting immediately if any suspicious individuals approached.


    After arranging the self-defense team, Xiang Yu went to the defensive base, where they were training.


    Now they have weapons, and their morale is much better. Besides, they have had good meals recently, and everyone is bing stronger.


    "Brother, is there something going on?" Xiao Xuan asked, noticing Xiang Yu’s serious demeanor.


    "Inform the brothers that there might be a mission soon, keep them ready, and immediately assemble if anything happens," Xiang Yu said.


    Xiao Xuan nodded and said, "Understood, brother, they’re ready at any time."


    "Arrange for someone to be on duty at high points every day," Xiang Yu said.


    At the high point of their training base is a heavy machine gun, it’s crucial, deciding the life and death of many if battles ur.


    Xiao Xuan realized the gravity of the situation and asked, "What’s going on?"


    Xiang Yu told Xiao Xuan the whole story, and Xiao Xuan frowned and said, "Once they arrive, we can create some chaos outside, perhaps driving them away."


    Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Exactly, these people specialize in transporting supplies and value safety the most. Once they arrive, we’ll put on an act outside."


    Xiao Xuan nodded and said, "Understood, rest assured."


    After instructing on these matters, Xiang Yu went into the city.


    Here, engineers were measuring something because they’re nning to build a school, involving many demolition issues.


    The people here were supportive, even before Xiang Yu stepped forward, they started demolishing their homes and living with neighbors.


    Seeing this scene moved Xiang Yu, as long as they have this spirit, future development shouldn’t be a problem.


    Xiang Yu didn’t let these people down and gave them correspondingpensation.


    Many people were on site to help, and these helpers didn’t ask for pay, just food.


    Xiang Yu joined the crowd, ready to lend a hand.


    After measuring for a while, the engineer directed, "We’ll build within a hundred-meter radius of this ce, everything here needs to be moved out."


    The engineer was also from the slums, found by Xi’er among the crowd. Actually, talent wasn’tcking here, just previously unused.


    Upon hearing the engineer’s orders, everyone started preparing. Without heavy machinery, everything had to be aplished with manpower.


    Seeing their confidence, Xiang Yu took off his shirt and joined the team.


    Everyone worked while chatting, talking about life and the future, quite at ease.


    Initially, they didn’t notice Xiang Yu, but when he helped someone who fell, they saw him.


    Seeing Xiang Yu wearing a tank top working, everyone was moved and started apuding.


    Even the engineer apuded when he discovered Xiang Yu, tears in everyone’s eyes.


    Living in the slums, no one paid attention to them, many battles urred here, and the deaths went unnoticed.


    Inside they felt deeply inferior, but Xiang Yu brought them hope and respect, working with them, enhancing their admiration, almost worshipfully.


    Xiang Yu calmly waved to them and said, "Everyone, let’s keep working, I’ll join you."


    Everyone nodded quickly and resumed working, some unable to hold back their tears.


    By noon, Xi’er led women to bring meals, donated by Wolf Fang’s forces.


    These women were hungry but didn’t eat, leaving the food for theboring men.


    Xiang Yu sat casually, eating after working all morning, he felt hungry.


    Xi’er came over and sat beside him, saying, "Leave these things to them, you shouldn’t tire yourself."


    "Nothing much, I just came over to do something," Xiang Yu replied indifferently.


    "Look how dirty you are, let me wash this for you," Xi’er said eagerly.


    Xiang Yu was already quite dirty, with a sour smell.


    "No need, let Tie Zhuzi wash it," Xiang Yu quickly refused.


    "No problem, no need to be shy at your age," Xi’er said, trying to remove Xiang Yu’s clothes.


    "Hey, no need." Xiang Yu wanted to refuse, but Xi’er grabbed his clothes, he couldn’t do much.


    When the clothes came off, Xi’er was dumbfounded, staring at Xiang Yu’s body, covered with scars on the bronze skin.


    "How did these happen?" Xi’er asked, shocked, looking at Xiang Yu.


    Xiang Yu smiled slightly, snatched back his clothes, saying, "Let me keep some privacy."


    Saying this, Xiang Yu ced thest bite of food in his mouth, then continued working.


    Xi’er’s nose soured, almost crying, she didn’t know how the scars came to be, but she understood he must have endured much hardship.


    Xiang Yu worked energetically, leading everyone bustling busily, and finally Tie Zhuzi came.


    Seeing Xiang Yu sweating profusely, Tie Zhuzi joined the team.


    Tie Zhuzi’s tall, tough figure attracted many, more women winked at him, they liked strong, capable men...
