Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 1031 - 686: The Most Perilous Moment Arrives!

Additionally, there are fifty solar lights on the wall, originally used in conjunction with cameras, and now they are all turned on.

In the Big Camphor Tree Base, usually, turning on the solar lights is sufficient.

Searchlights are seldom used; initially, it was to conserve energy, and later to avoid being too conspicuous at night.

But at this moment, all those concerns are cast aside.

A searchlight bulb is as large as a basin, and standing beside it feels somewhat hot due to its astonishing power consumption.

They dare to be so extravagant only because of the Zombie Generator.

A searchlight can illuminate several hundred meters when it doesn't rain, and it's very bright.

At this moment, with all the lights on, the area outside the Big Camphor Tree Base is as bright as daylight.

Raindrops like threads slightly affect the searchlight's illumination, limiting its range, but for dozens of meters outside the base, visibility remains very clear.

The walls are as bright as daylight.

This brightness boosts the morale of everyone on the walls.

Ju Tianrui looked at the zombies outside the walls, feeling a shiver up his spine. He had an ominous feeling when he heard gunshots from the Outer City earlier.

But when He Chao called him up, he saw that the zombies were already halfway up the tall wall.

The zombies stacked up to ten meters high!

And even with mobile switch blades, they managed to pile up so high.

It was truly terrifying.

Later, from Yang Tianlong, he learned about the flood disaster.

He was shocked when he heard that the rural roads outside the base were submerged.

After all, the Big Camphor Tree Base is on high ground; if the rural roads leading to the national highway are flooded, what about Xin City?

The thought made his teeth ache.

He held the crossbow, aimed toward the direction of the searchlight, and shot at a zombie's head.

Whiz——

The arrow cut through the line of rain and successfully hit a zombie's head.

The zombie fell, and soon several zombies came from all directions to snatch the dead body.

But two zombies, just as they touched the dead zombie's body, were shot dead by Yang Tianlong and others nearby.

These zombie bodies rolled like a snowball, growing larger.

As more zombies were shot dead, the newcomers were drawn to the bodies, easing the pressure on the switch blades under the wall.

Finally, everything reached a balance. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Some zombies spread around the wall, stacking up, yet could not climb higher than seven meters.

The reason was that another group of zombies, attracted by the bodies of their kind, ran toward the zombie piles in the forest outside the walls.

Under this strategy, the base finally returned to a relatively safe state.

.......

The flood continued.

The snowmelt from Tanggula Mountain combined with the upstream torrential rain, concentrated and submerged the dam.

This flood won't stop as long as the rains continue.

After the situation stabilized, Li Yu patrolled the wall, appointing several leaders to handle defense in different directions.

If issues arose, people from either side must go to aid.

In the pouring rain, everyone battled amidst raindrops, maintaining a certain balance.

Li Yu created a shift schedule; with this constant downpour, they couldn't remain on the wall indefinitely.

A detailed combat plan was essential.

Five duty rooms with three hundred people.

The duty rooms couldn't accommodate so many, nor did they need to stay in them; they used them as a base to form five squads.

At the front gate, Duty Room One.

Li Yu served as the leader, with Li Hang as the deputy leader, aided by Lao Yi and others.

Duty Room Two.

Third Uncle as the leader, aided by Old Lv, Old Qin, and others.

Duty Room Three.

Uncle as the leader, with Li Gang as deputy, assisted by Ju Tianrui and others.

Duty Room Four.

Second Uncle as the leader, with Dapao as deputy, aided by Xiao Jun and others.

Duty Room Five.

Li Tie as the leader, Yang Tianlong as deputy, assisted by Lao Zhou and others.

Of the three hundred people, due to the greatest pressure at Duty Room One by the front gate, it was equipped with one hundred people.

Fifty were assigned to other directions.

Additionally, the total number of people in Inner and Outer City is 400; besides these three hundred for defense.

In the Outer City, He Chao led twenty people with firearms, maintaining order.

Also, Zhu Xiao, Zuo Ruxue, Guo Peng, and other extra staff controlled the cooperative personnel in the Outer City.

If anyone tried to stir trouble, they were to be killed without mercy!

Moreover, Li Yu simply gave cooperative personnel minor tasks, keeping them occupied with unimportant duties.

In the Inner City.

Ding Jiu, Father Li, and others, armed with guns, formed a squad to maintain stability.

For steady logistical supplies, Li Yu tasked Mrs. Li and Yutong with twenty to thirty people to provide food and other necessities.

.......

The more critical the crisis, the clearer one thing became to Li Yu.

He couldn't rely on people who weren't fully trusted!

Human nature is greedy, inherently evil.

Otherwise, even before Doomsday, in some countries outside, every upheaval led to looting and pillaging.

He wouldn't give cooperative personnel in the Outer City a chance.

In fact, bringing people from the Outer City was already his bottom line.

These Outer City people, after so much interaction, most have military backgrounds.

With responsibilities involving crossbows and oversight from various leaders, the likelihood of issues was minimal.

They were all grasshoppers on the same rope now.

.......

Combat plans set, the Zombie Tide outside the walls stabilized under the tactics of switch blades and crossbow fire drawing zombies' attention.

With the two-shift cycle, those not needed returned to their posts.

After stability returned, the base's population was reduced to 150.

Long-term combat — no one could fight 24 hours.

Even with shifts, fatigue was obvious.

Zombies outside the walls seemed endless, continuously swarming forward.

Nevertheless, the Big Camphor Tree Base, amidst rain, flood, and the Zombie Tide, finally persevered!
