Xin City.
Da Zhangshu Base.
Residential Area.
Li Yu lay on the sofa, watching the projector.
The movie 'Heidi' was playing on it.
Inside the room, the dehumidifier was on; it had been raining these days, and the humidity indoors and outdoors was heavy.
If it's plum rain season in the south, sometimes a layer of water can even hang on the walls.
"Awoo~"
Li Yu petted the heads of the wolfdog puppies; these wolfdog puppies grew very quickly.
Now they were lively and often ran around the villa.
"Sit down." Li Yu suddenly commanded, looking at the puppies.
The three puppies immediately sat down obediently upon hearing him.
Li Yu took out three balls of yarn and threw them in three different directions.
The three wolfdog puppies ran over, picked up the yarn balls, and then placed them in front of Li Yu.
Li Yu stroked the heads of the three puppies, then took out a few pieces of dried meat from a bag as a reward.
The three wolfdog puppies whined and whimpered in place.
Li Yu smiled at the sight, then looked at the projector.
Outside the window, it was still raining.
The rain lately hadn't been heavy; sometimes it was a misty drizzle, and at its lightest, it was like a layer of fog.
Other times, it was a light, pattering rain, dripping from the eaves and steps.
Boom~
Thunder rumbled.
Li Yu got up and walked to the balcony, only to see raindrops the size of beans falling.
"It looks like the rain is going to get heavier," Li Yu murmured.
He thought for a moment, then put on his jacket; he intended to go check the perimeter wall.
Just as he stepped out of the villa door, he saw Meng Yu approaching with an umbrella.
Li Yu saw Meng Yu and asked, "What's the situation with He Chao's daughter now?"
Meng Yu stopped and said, "She's still on an IV drip. Her fever isn't as severe for now. I just took her temperature, and it's 38.5 degrees Celsius."
Li Yu nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Where are you going?"
Meng Yu replied, "Xiao Ya is weak and has a severe fever. I'm getting her something to eat.
I just asked her, and she hasn't eaten much since yesterday."
Li Yu sighed and said, "Alright, tell Zhou Xiumei to get that little girl some meat to eat."
Meng Yu's face showed gratitude as she said, "Thank you, Mr. Li."
Li Yu waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.
He then put on his raincoat, opened his umbrella, and walked towards the base's perimeter wall.
On the way to the gate guardhouse, Li Yu saw several people patrolling the perimeter wall.
In the rain, these people braved the weather to protect the base's security.
Li Yu looked at the two mountain forests behind him, shrouded in mist.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
A gust of wind blew, mixed with rain, directly into Li Yu's mouth and nose.
It was really damn cold.
Soon, Li Yu arrived at the guardhouse.
Li Tie and Da Pao were resting inside the guardhouse, both eating.
After Li Yu entered the guardhouse, he asked about He Chao and the others' situation in Weng City.
The two said there was nothing too unusual.
As they were talking, Li Haoran entered from outside the guardhouse, saying as he came in, "There are more and more zombies outside. I walked around the perimeter wall, and our base is completely surrounded by zombies."
Upon hearing this, Li Yu quickly got up and walked outside. As soon as he reached the perimeter wall, he saw that under the searchlights, the zombies were packed together as far as the eye could see.
Li Yu saw this and mused to himself, that when the weather got warmer and after this zombie horde was dealt with,
he would still need to dig a trench outside the base to avoid the trouble of clearing out zombies every time they came.
Li Yu asked, "How many people are on the perimeter wall now?"
Da Pao thought for a moment and said, "There are about 20 people on the perimeter wall now.
Besides the 10 people in fixed positions, the other 10 are mobile, going to reinforce wherever there are many zombies."
Li Yu nodded. The height of the perimeter wall had now increased to four or five stories high. At this height, although there were many zombies below, they didn't put much pressure on the base.
As they were talking, Song Min, who was nearby, used an extended long spear to stab the zombies below.
It was just that since the perimeter wall had been reinforced, it was too high, and using a spear to kill zombies was somewhat laborious.
Li Yu saw this and said, "Try using crossbows. There should still be plenty of arrows now, using the ones we made ourselves."
Song Min nodded and walked towards the guardhouse with Optimistic Xiao Han, who was beside her.
The weapons they usually needed were all stored in the guardhouse.
There were even two machine guns.
Li Hang also came over from another direction, his face covered in water, whether it was sweat or rain, and said to Li Yu:
"Brother, these zombies are too troublesome now. There are so many of them. If we don't clear them out, we're afraid they'll pile up.
But our efficiency in killing them from the perimeter wall is too low. I know there are loaders and bulldozers at the quarry.
We can modify them then and drive them out directly to crush these zombies; the efficiency would be incredibly high.
I went there before and saw a Caterpillar 993G. It's especially big; just the tires are over two meters. If we heavily modify it, it will definitely be powerful."
Li Yu picked up a crossbow and shot at a distant zombie.
Pfft!
It accurately hit a zombie.
"Alright, after this zombie horde recedes, our base needs to be expanded again. We'll make some preparations outside the perimeter wall as well," Li Yu said.
Li Hang's face showed some excitement after hearing Li Yu's reply. Most men like bulldozers, especially huge ones.
If they could drive a modified bulldozer with a few rolling chainsaws in front, crushing over them, the zombies would be directly sawn in half at the waist.
Violent and fierce.
Li Hang happily said, "Brother, then it's settled! We must get a few of them. I'll do the modifications. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Li Yu smiled and nodded, loosening the bowstring in his hand.
Whoosh~
Two zombies were directly strung together like candied hawthorns.
After shooting a few arrows, Li Yu walked onto Weng City.
In Weng City, He Chao and the others were hiding in tents, and some were in cars.
White mist lingered, and some of them were cooking food. The food was simple, just plain white rice porridge.
But they ate it with great relish.
Li Yu looked at them. There was already a lamp in the center of Weng City, and under its illumination, they could clearly see their surroundings.
Seeing He Chao, Li Yu called out, "He Chao."
He Chao heard someone call him, quickly looked up, and seeing it was Li Yu, asked, "Mr. Li, what's wrong?"
Li Yu said, "Your daughter's high fever has gone down. She still has some fever, but she's much better now."
Upon hearing this, He Chao's eyes reddened, and he shouted towards Li Yu, "Thank you, Mr. Li."
Li Yu didn't speak and then left Weng City.
It was dark, and he needed to walk around the perimeter wall to check for any overlooked issues.
The base's perimeter wall was over a thousand meters long. If one walked quickly, it could be covered in a few minutes.
Li Yu watched everyone wearing raincoats, resisting the zombies, and felt an indescribable emotion inside.
Divided into teams of twenty people, they could rotate five shifts.
