Chapter 15: The Storm Hits

Li Yu charged forward.

One slash,

Two slashes,

Three slashes,

Instantly transforming into a human-shaped Butcher.

Three heads fell to the ground,

This knife is really powerful! It's worth every penny spent crafting it!

Actually, it's not that Li Yu has a hobby of beheading, he just got used to chopping off Zombie heads—it's simple, fast, and efficient.

And in the eyes of the blonde kid, this was nothing short of a psychopathic killer with a beheading fetish!

Luckily, the blonde kid was at the very back, now frantically running towards the forest.

While shouting, "Brother Yu, I was wrong, I was wrong! Don't kill me!"

Hearing this, Li Yu saw the blonde kid had already run 10 meters away.

Slowly exhaling, he planted the knife into the ground.

Taking the Compound Crossbow from Xiao Hang, he didn't even aim properly.

An arrow shot through the air, its feathers as if they had eyes.

Whoosh!

Thunk!

Splat!

The arrow flying accurately through the head, the blonde kid fell forward straight.

The Village Chief's son beside him was terrified,

So brutal!

Li Yu gave him a meaningful look, and suddenly, a yellow liquid flowed from beneath him...

Li Yu didn't speak again, nor did he move the bodies.

"We are going back!" Li Yu said in a deep voice.

Second Uncle, Uncle Lai, and Uncle, who came down to open the gate, exchanged glances, their eyes still carrying the shock.

"Xiao Hang, collect the arrows, a crossbow only has 100 arrows, remember to recycle."

"Okay." Li Hang obediently ran over and pulled them out.

Then, cleverly, he collected gold rings, watches, and such from the bodies on the ground.

In any era, gold is a valuable commodity.

Li Yu watched Li Hang looting the bodies, feeling somewhat emotional; under these days of training, this kid wasn't scared at all now.

Looking at Li Hang's excited expression while looting the bodies, Li Yu was a bit worried.

Was this skill point oddly assigned?

Is it because I've led him astray, Li Yu thought to himself.

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Drive, close the door.

Creeeak...the fine steel gate made an unpleasant sound.

As Li Yu entered the base, he thought, having only one person at the gate wasn't sufficient.

First, it takes too long to open,

Second, once they come down from the Observation Tower, there's no one left up top.

Thus, after returning to the living room, he held a brief meeting, asking three younger cousins and one other to come out of the surveillance room and join in the duty roster.

Additionally, he arranged for Li Yuan and several female cousins, along with Uncle Lai's daughter, to take shifts in the surveillance room.

Due to the increased number of people, cooking became a significant task;

So often, cooking alone would require two to three people.

Outside the four-acre plot, there was also a one-acre vegetable garden. Since moving into the base, they had never run out of vegetables.

Thinking of the upcoming continuous days of heavy torrential rain tomorrow, Li Yu had everyone harvest the vegetables.

The excess they couldn't eat straight away would be made into pickled vegetables or salted for preservation.

November 25th. Torrential Rain.

Starting from the early hours of last night, torrential rain began pouring down.

The sound of rain merged into a roar, as if the sky had cracked open numerous mouths, and the rain cascaded down like waterfalls to the earth.

Thanks to the well-built drainage system that Li Yu had insisted his father construct when building this base,

And in the lower basement, considering these factors, an extremely meticulous waterproof layer was also installed.

Furthermore, the Mountain Pond between the two mountains also has a water storage function.

So even though the rain was heavy, there was no flooding disaster.

Since a few days ago, when mobile signals were cut off, everyone's network had gone down.

No signals could be received!

So during this time, no messages from the outside world could be received.

But Li Yu knew that this time, the rain would last for a full 10 days!

10 days later, many countries will be submerged.

Initially, Li Yu had experienced such a heavy rainstorm, narrowly escaping death.

The rain kept falling!

Li Yu actually quite liked the rain, the sound of it pattering and pouring down.

Inside the dry room, listening to the rain actually brought a sense of security.

In this lifetime, there was no need to be displaced on the fifth day after the rainstorm like in the previous life,

almost dying in the rain.

Thankfully!

The southern hill terrain, along with the higher elevation on their side, prevented water from accumulating.

This rainstorm would really kill a lot of people.

Due to the prolonged rainfall, people were afraid to go outside, and those already short on supplies suffered even more.

Floods could drown people, but not zombies.

Thus, this rainstorm also turned many cities into dead cities.

Rainstorm, lack of supplies, and the threat of zombies!

This also led to the world's population being decimated after this rainstorm.

During the rainstorm, it was inconvenient for everyone to travel.

So apart from the duty personnel, everyone stayed indoors.

Due to the sunny days before, they had stored enough electricity; during the 10 days of heavy rain, there was enough power.

There were also some minors in the entire family.

They continued to have classes, thanks to Li Yu who had downloaded 200TB of various materials a few months ago.

This of course included materials from kindergarten to high school.

He had also stockpiled a whole room of books, so the education of the younger children was not neglected.

November 29,

The fifth day after the rainstorm.

The rain showed no signs of stopping.

Everyone was getting a bit restless indoors.

That day, Li Yu took everyone to the underground theater to watch the TV series "The Walking Dead".

It was relaxation, but also a form of learning.

For Li Suxin, the arrival of the apocalypse couldn't be more splendid

With a bunch of older brothers and sisters around, there was no worry about food or drink.

And she could watch cartoons anytime.

Of course, she would occasionally be scolded by her sisters and Li Yu.

But days without school couldn't be more awesome!

Until that day, Li Yu said they should resume the children's education.

In Li Suxin's eyes, there was a silent wail.

In education, Li Yu also included a lesson on understanding zombies.

...

When it rained, nothing much could be done.

Everyone was stuck at home, and Li Yu had early on stockpiled hundreds of phones and computers.

Many people copied various things using computers, previously downloaded onto hard drives by Li Yu.

Including various games, movies, TV series, books, and so on.

So, everyone's time passed not too drearily.

And after dinner every day, there was a collective meeting.

Everyone summarized and reported on the current situation together.

Through this period of living together, everyone's relationships had also warmed up.

Even Lai Dongsheng gradually integrated into this big family.

Many younger children followed Li Yu, respectfully calling him Uncle Lai.

After all, Uncle Lai looked fierce, but was actually a kind-hearted man.

Speaking of Uncle Lai, Li Yu recalled his daughter.

Uncle Lai's eldest daughter, Lai Xiyue, was Li Yu's elementary and junior high school classmate.

The two grew up together, and were especially close in childhood.

Li Yu remembered, back then many classmates raised silkworms, Lai Xiyue raised them particularly well.

But Li Yu's silkworms either starved or died from diarrhea.

At that time, it was popular among classmates to show off their silkworms.

Lai Xiyue gave the largest silkworm she raised to Li Yu unconditionally.

This really made Li Yu quite popular.

Li Yu's family once ran a small shop, and Li Yu would occasionally bring some snacks to Lai Xiyue every now and then.
