At night, the cold air indoors kept the room at around twenty-six degrees.

Li Yu gently extricated himself from Yutong, who was holding onto him like an octopus.

He looked at Yutong's still slightly flushed little face, eyes tightly shut, appearing somewhat cute. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Li Yu lightly tapped her nose, smiled, then got up and went to the balcony.

Closing the glass door between the balcony and the room, Li Yu lit a cigarette and opened the window.

Hot air rushed in from outside the window, and in the quiet night, moonlight spilled into the room.

Cicadas chirped in some hidden corner.

Thoughts flooded Li Yu's mind. After returning to the Big Camphor Tree Base, it seemed most important to bring back the military radio so that Oil City could quickly contact the Big Camphor Tree Base.

However, there was another reason for Li Yu's urgent return.

A typhoon was approaching.

He must ensure that the Big Camphor Tree Base is well prepared.

Although the surrounding mountains and forests would weaken the typhoon's power, he dared not take the risk.

After all, he was no longer just on his own but bearing the burden of the entire Big Camphor Tree Base.

Some preparations must be made before the typhoon arrives.

For example, the construction of the Third Outer City must speed up and be completed before the typhoon arrives.

In the Second Outer City, the windows around the zombie generators must be sealed to avoid being broken by the typhoon.

Furthermore, the lifeline of the Big Camphor Tree Base—the greenhouses.

If the typhoon passes through and the wind is too strong, what if it blows away the greenhouses?

Without the protection of the greenhouses, the crops would easily be uprooted by the typhoon.

The typhoon will also bring rain.

At that time, heavy rains will pour down, and a Zombie Tide is inevitable.

Thinking of zombies, a shadow cast over Li Yu's heart.

The powerful zombie seen at dusk was just the beginning, he knew.

Whether before or after the Doomsday,

most viruses mutate over time, evolving into new forms; these new viruses manifest as zombie mutations.

But other than preparing in advance and strengthening the base, Li Yu couldn't do anything else.

He couldn't stop these zombies from mutating; although they were few, they posed a huge threat to humanity.

"I wonder how Ma Di and the others' research on the zombie virus antidote is going... Alas..."

Li Yu muttered quietly, recalling the difficulties, realizing he couldn't pin his hopes on Ma Di and the others.

In the previous life, no force was known to have developed an antidote for zombies, let alone them, unless a miracle happened.

Li Yu stood on the balcony, smoking, deep in thought.

After finishing a cigarette, he felt sleepy.

So he returned to the room, saw Yutong sleeping soundly, and gently lay down beside her, holding her lightly.

Sensing Li Yu's body, Yutong moved closer in her sleep out of habit.

Li Yu's lips curled up, feeling good about being relied upon.

....

The next day.

Li Yu saw the awakened Yutong, radiantly beautiful.

And so they went another round of three hundred bouts.

Watching Yutong lying there like a limp rag, Li Yu felt refreshed, dressed, and went downstairs.

On the wall, he looked at the helicopter in Weng City, furrowing his brow.

In Weng City, many people were going out on missions, and many were coming in.

Parking in Weng City wasn't very secure.

But if parked in the Outer City, Li Yu felt it wasn't suitable either.

So Li Yu called over Dapao and the others.

"What's up, Brother Yu?" Dapao asked, looking puzzled at Li Yu. Seeing Dapao's dark circles, Li Yu knew he hadn't been up to good last night.

But he couldn't say much, given he was much the same.

"Move the helicopter to the Inner City, find a place to park it; having it in Weng City isn't ideal. The helicopter takes up a lot of space, and Weng City is small. You and Li Tie deal with it."

Li Yu told Dapao.

Dapao yawned and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll handle it now."

With that, he called over Li Tie and Old Lv.

Looking at the helicopter, Li Yu's expression was indeterminate, planning to take the next few days to learn how to pilot from the Jackals.

Afterward, Li Yu walked to the wall of the Third Outer City.

Before he arrived, he could hear machinery, the sound of concrete pouring, and drills in the Third Outer City.

Walking on the newly built wall of the Third Outer City, it appeared newer than other walls.

The width and height were similar to other directions.

It was 7 meters wide and 30 meters high.

Li Yu looked at the Third Outer City; over half a month had passed, and with so many people mobilized, it had changed a lot since he had left.

The greenhouses were already completed and seemed to be in use.

Foundations for residential buildings were laid, even with ground-level construction mostly done, needed only to finish the tops.

Besides residential buildings, the Third Outer City was large, with three smaller buildings under construction using steel frames, being rapidly built.
