Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 132 - 124: Annihilation

Li Tie and Li Yu waited downstairs for a while, then at the spot where the woman fell, they picked up a piece of torn cloth to cover the body.

This house emanated an eerie feeling, damp and cold inside, so both decided against entering again.

They unpacked a pack of cigarettes, distributed it, and Li Yu, Li Tie, Li Gang, and Dapao stood in front of the car, puffing smoke clouds into the air. Li Yu no longer intended to

Feeling refreshed, Li Yu stood up, his bones cracking, eyes and mind clear.

Taking a deep breath, a pleasant mood spread as he hummed a little tune. After quickly putting on a tracksuit and washing up, he began his morning run.

Morning exercise.

The people of our nation are wise, balancing yin and yang, tension and relaxation.

There always needs to be a balance; humans are not machines and need to change states to set off anew.

Even though Li Yu still had the Salvation Army on his mind, he wasn't overly worried.

If the Salvation Army was heading north, they would definitely pass through the County, and if any disturbances arose, Li Yu would learn something when he visited later.

He decided to wait and see.

For now, he would rest at the base for a while.

In the base, Ding Jiu and several workers, who had joined a while ago, were growing increasingly attached to the base. In fact, they had recently approached Li Yu with a suggestion to raise the height of the perimeter walls.

Due to the raised foundation combined with the electric fences above, the walls were currently about 8 meters high. Following their advice, they planned to increase the wall height by another 4 meters,

which would make it approximately 12 meters high, roughly the height of a four-story building.

Luckily, there was a cement plant in the neighboring town, and a larger factory further away. In recent years, the Government had been constructing basic infrastructure and developing housing in the County, leading to a surge in suppliers of steel and concrete.

However, Li Yu was contemplating another matter—whether to expand the base by building an even larger wall outside the existing one.

But that was a decision for later.

It had been raining continuously, making construction very inconvenient. Additionally, with the zombies outside being extremely aggressive, it wasn't the right time to venture out. Staying home seemed like a good option.

In the days following Qingming Festival, the rain had intensified, keeping everyone inside the base.

Aside from those on duty, everyone else stayed inside their rooms. They had purchased a diesel generator which they had been testing these past few days.

Normally, their solar storage provided ample electricity, more than they could use, but the continuous rain presented a good opportunity to utilize the stored power.

Within their rooms, everyone had their tasks—like Li Suxin and Second Aunt's younger children, whose outdoor activities had been canceled, so they spent their days studying in the classroom.

Xiao Hang, on the other hand, had been very calm lately, spending his days under the eaves of the small courtyard in front of the mountain top where the rain couldn't reach, practicing with his Crossbow.

Every morning during his exercise routine, Li Yu would encounter Xiao Hang. Although they didn't talk much, they could clearly sense each other's thoughts.

A harmonious atmosphere still prevailed in the base.

Li Yu always liked the rain, but since the apocalypse, the rain meant increased madness among the zombies, and heavy rain could even spur a Zombie Tide. Nowadays, rain meant more, and more dangerous, zombies!

So, since the apocalypse began, Li Yu hadn't enjoyed listening to the soothing sound of rain, with neither the time nor the mood for it.

These recent days had been filled with light, continual rain. Although there were still plenty of zombies outside, there was no large-scale Zombie Tide.

With two people always on guard atop the walls, plus the rotating patrols and observers in the surveillance room, the base couldn't be said to be completely airtight, but it was relatively safe.

Under these circumstances, Li Yu felt he could settle down and do some of the things he wanted.
