This rain lasted for more than two weeks without a break.
It submerged many areas, and in some lower-lying places, everything was completely flooded.
These recent heavy rains also caused the living survivors to move to higher-altitude areas for survival.
Because being in low-altitude areas, a heavy rainstorm could mean complete annihilation.
Li Yu stood on the wall, watching the zombies roar unchangingly, and lit the cigarette in his hand.
Hoo~
He slowly exhaled white smoke, and Da Pao walked over, saying indifferently, "It looks like this rain is about to end."
Li Yu looked up and saw the rising sun gradually appearing on the horizon.
Sun shower.
In the fine, misty rain, the light was somewhat dim but was gradually becoming brighter.
Time passes so quickly.
The rain had lasted for so long.
In the latter half of the period, the temperature of the rain was gradually rising.
Now that the temperature was higher, there was no need to endure that unbearable cold anymore.
"Yes, when the rain stops, there will be a lot of things to do," Li Yu said.
Da Pao looked thoughtful but did not ask further.
Li Yu looked at Da Pao and suddenly said, "How are things between you and Song Min now?"
Suddenly asked this, Da Pao blushed a little, not knowing how to answer. He felt that he was often quite straightforward, a steel-straight man.
But Song Min didn't mind these things; instead, she taught him in many areas.
Li Yu said with a smile, "Song Min is a good person, generous and straightforward. Don't let her down."
Da Pao quickly said, "No, I definitely won't let Xiaomin down."
Li Yu smiled and said nothing more.
This rain killed many zombies and also consumed a lot of gasoline.
As for He Chao and his group, who were temporarily staying in Weng City, although they hadn't gone out, some of them were running low on food. Li Yu then distributed this month's two catties of rice to them first.
This action also won the approval of He Chao and others.
The rain.
It stopped as suddenly as it started.
By noon, this rain, which had lasted for nearly half a month, had stopped.
A rainbow appeared in the sky.
Li Yu looked at the rainbow and remembered a Bible he had found in the library a few days ago.
It said that during Genesis, the chosen people stole from God, and only Noah's family created Noah's Ark to escape the calamity.
And all other impure people were submerged by the heavy rain and flood.
This rainbow was the covenant between man and God.
Li Yu sighed and smiled.
He remembered a sect he often heard about in his previous life, the Doomsday Sect.
Their philosophy always told people that humans are born with sin, and this apocalypse is God's punishment for humanity.
Among them, there were not a few fanatics who did extreme things.
But their power was still very strong; they feared neither zombies nor death, constantly expanding like a virus.
In such a desperate apocalyptic atmosphere, indeed many people would lose themselves.
But Li Yu always believed that if a person had love in their heart, they would not get lost.
Safe City was a mess.
A large truck was stuck at the entrance, but many bodies lay fallen in the direction of the main gate.
Many people chose to end their own lives after being bitten by zombies.
Because the location was not that high, one-third of the city was submerged, and there was a lot of standing water on the roads within the city.
Wall plaster had fallen to the ground, and some bodies were bloated from being soaked in water, with many maggots growing on their surfaces.
They were white, soft, and tender, looking somewhat disgusting.
However, under a tree next to one of these bodies.
There was a small boy, his face dirty, his eyes devoid of any color.
He looked at the maggots and swallowed, wanting to walk closer, but seemed to have some reservations, looking around.
Then he quickly walked over.
Old Wu looked much older, his face full of exhaustion. He, who was originally meticulous and liked to comb his full head of white hair neatly back, now had messy hair.
"Xiao Zhang, the rain has stopped, have all the zombies left?"
A guard who had been protecting him said, "Not all of them have left yet, but there are very few left."
Old Wu looked at the devastated Safe City, sighed, and said, "How many people are left now?"
Xiao Zhang, standing beside him, looked at Old Wu, who hadn't closed his eyes for several days, and said, "Old Wu, why don't you rest first? You haven't rested for several days."
Old Wu waved his hand and said, "Tell me, I need to know the number."
Tears welled up in Xiao Zhang's eyes as he said, "Now there are only thirty-one brothers left. Twenty-five brothers died, nearly half."
Old Wu's fingers trembled slightly when he heard this number.
Since the apocalypse, thousands of people resisted hundreds of thousands of zombies, so many died along the way, and after protecting important figures, they were treated as pawns.
They could only find a place to survive on their own, and it was not easy to find this Safe City and establish it firmly.
But in successive zombie waves, the number of people gradually decreased from over two hundred to what it is now.
Every zombie wave was a tribulation.
If they had a safer place, if they had enough bullets.
They wouldn't have fallen to this point.
Old Wu raised his head, staring directly at the sun until he lowered his head, feeling a little dizzy.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he raised his hand, but then let it fall weakly.
When he stood up, he swayed and almost fell, and Xiao Zhang quickly went to support him.
Old Wu said weakly, "What's the situation with Hua Chuanlong and his group now?"
Xiao Zhang said:
"Hua Chuanlong's side didn't suffer many losses. From over a hundred people, about twenty died. Ke Hanyu's side is about the same.
It's just that more civilians died. To block the gap in the West Gate, nearly three hundred people died at once. Now there are only less than four hundred people left."
Old Wu closed his eyes and sighed, "The general trend is gone. I don't know what the future of Safe City will be."
Xiao Zhang opened his mouth, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Old Wu saw his expression and said directly, "Just say whatever you want to say. Anyway, it can't get any worse than this."
Xiao Zhang saw Old Wu's state and was somewhat worried about him, still stammering, unsure whether to speak.
Old Wu said somewhat anxiously, "I told you to speak, so speak. Why are you stammering?"
Xiao Zhang said, "Now our food is a bit insufficient. If we add up the reserve food, it's estimated it won't last two weeks.
And for those civilians, many of them have already run out of food. Yesterday, when resisting the zombies, some people starved to death.
Hua Chuanlong and Ke Hanyu's situations are similar to ours.
Some people are clamoring to go out and look for food, and some are saying they might as well go to the granary in Xin City, or else we'll all starve to death."
