Slurp~
Li Yu slurped down a mouthful of noodles, then picked up two pieces of beef, feeling utterly satisfied.
Yu Tong stood silently beside him, watching him.
"Have you eaten?" Li Yu asked the girl beside him.
"I just ate. Eat slowly, don't choke," Yu Tong said softly.
After speaking, she handed him the thermos cup in her hand: "Drink some water."
"Mm, okay. Do you want to eat more?" Li Yu picked up a piece of beef and offered it to Yu Tong.
Yu Tong was about to say for him to eat it, but seeing that Li Yu had already picked it up, she slightly opened her mouth and ate the piece of beef.
Yu Tong's mouth was relatively small, and the piece of beef was quite large, so she chewed with her cheeks puffed out.
The two didn't speak again; it was very quiet.
One person ate, and the other watched him eat.
One was tall and slender, wearing a combat suit with an anti-riot suit over it, but it still couldn't hide his extremely streamlined physique.
The other was graceful, also wearing an anti-riot suit, which perfectly accentuated her curves.
Uncle San felt the noodles in his bowl were a bit salty, so he pulled out a navel orange from his backpack.
He peeled it, and the juice from the orange peel splattered.
There was a faint scent of orange in the air.
Many orange trees were planted in the base, and this area was famous for its cultivation. The soil was very suitable, and Gannan navel oranges were sold in 108 countries worldwide!
The peel was opened, revealing the tender flesh inside. Uncle San broke off a piece and put it into his mouth; the unique sweetness of the navel orange exploded on his taste buds.
Sweet but not cloying, fragrant but not common.
Most importantly, this navel orange was very juicy; eating one was like drinking half a glass of water.
Li Yu finished the noodles in his bowl and smelled the aroma of the navel orange. The memory of the taste made him crave the orange as well.
Seeing this, Uncle San threw a navel orange to Li Yu, who caught it.
Uncle San continued, "These navel oranges are all grown by us. Our own grown ones are really delicious. When I was in the army, every October and November, I would think about the navel oranges back home."
He sighed with emotion.
Li Yu peeled the navel orange and shared it with Yu Tong, one half each, sweet and wonderful.
He remembered when he was studying out of town, he often asked someone to bring him some navel oranges. He had a deep impression of this person and even remembered his WeChat ID, whose nickname was Tsinghua.
It had been a long time since they last met, and he wondered how that person was doing. He remembered that before the apocalypse, many people sought her out to buy navel oranges.
Now was the navel orange season, and also a rainy season.
Thump!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, followed by a rapid ringing of bells.
Ding-dong-dang~
Uncle San immediately stood up and looked out the window, only to see dozens of zombies appearing outside.
They were surging towards them, and the closest few zombies had already reached the cars outside the main gate.
Several cars blocked the zombies' advance, but near the closest gate, there was a gap between the SUV and the gate. The zombies desperately tried to squeeze through this gap, but the gap was too small, making it difficult for them to get through.
"Yu Tong, tell Tie Zi and the others to come over!" Li Yu said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tong put on her raincoat and walked towards the building in the rain.
Within a few minutes, Li Tie and the others arrived, seeing the zombies outside the cars, and as time passed, more and more zombies appeared outside.
Under normal sunlight, zombies were particularly weak, with very low body flexibility, and their entire limbs were extremely stiff, so even encountering a horizontal bar, they would have difficulty getting around it.
But once it rained, for some unknown reason, the zombies' overall abilities improved. A Unimog, three or four meters high, could completely resist the zombies, but the SUV was very low, especially the front, which was only a little over a meter high.
Watching these few zombies tirelessly trying to squeeze through the gap, the front bumper of the car was polished shiny.
The heavy rain continued, and the sky grew darker and darker.
Below, the zombies were still circling around. Li Yu turned on the high beams and looked further into the distance.
He breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, not too many zombies had appeared, otherwise, it would have been troublesome.
"Yu Ge, should we go down and deal with them?" Li Tie couldn't help but ask.
The sound of these zombies was too unpleasant, gnashing their teeth with a grating sound that made one's teeth ache.
Li Yu looked at these few zombies constantly rubbing against the car, making an unpleasant sound, and was about to speak when one zombie looked up.
It opened its mouth wide, and rainwater poured into it. It roared.
It pushed forward with force, and then this zombie directly climbed onto the car and started moving inside.
"Don't go down, just stay up here," Li Yu said.
The scene just now was not uncommon; under heavy rain, zombies' flexibility would be much higher than under sunlight. They had understood this from previous zombie waves.
That's why Li Yu chose such a place. This cylindrical building was over 7 meters high, with only a winding staircase leading up, and the staircase had no railings.
They only needed to guard the staircase and deal with any zombies that came up.
Because the width of the staircase was not large, it could barely accommodate two people side by side.
So, standing up there, they only needed to deal with two zombies at a time.
Moreover, they had the advantage of a higher ground, allowing them to attack the zombies below.
One zombie ran up, pacing and roaring in the circular open space below. The entire space echoed with the zombies' roars.
Damn it.
Li Yu didn't say to act, everyone just got ready.
One zombie entered, followed by another, like a drop of water creating ripples. More and more zombies climbed over the SUV and came in.
"It seems next time we go out, we should drive a taller car. This SUV is too short," Li Yu said.
Immediately after, the first zombie that came in walked to the bottom of the steps and started climbing up.
Its speed was a bit slow; it still seemed to have somewhat stiff limbs.
Li Yu and the others waited up there. The most crucial reason for choosing this place was that there was a bridge behind it. If there were too many zombies and their dead bodies piled up, they could transfer to Rock Mountain.
The zombie climbed the steps slowly, but it still reached Li Yu and the others.
This zombie was flailing its arms and legs, about to pounce on Li Yu and the others, when a spear pierced through its head, and then it was pushed down with a long pole.
Plop!
The zombie fell vertically to the ground.
But the zombies behind it still pressed forward, one after another, climbing the steps, step by step.
Now, they didn't know how many zombies were around. Blindly going out would easily lead to being surrounded. The most effortless and simplest way was to find a high point and then stand there, eliminating the zombies little by little.
