Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 829 - 610: Zombies Under the Moonlight (Part 2)
"Well, how is it? Any abnormalities here?" Li Yu asked Li Tie while eating the pancake.
"No Zombies were found in the building, just a few Zombies were detected around the edges. It’s quite funny; two Zombies got stuck in a mixer, which is very strange. How could Zombies end up in a mixer?" Li Tie recalled the scene and found it amusing.
Li Yu didn’t ask further, shifting his position to make some space for him.
"Have a seat. Freshly roasted meat pancakes, have some." Li Yu placed two pieces of pancakes into the metal basin.
Li Tie was also somewhat hungry and sat down straightforwardly.
Seeing his hands were dirty, he went to the camper to wash them off, having touched some dirt while chopping Zombies earlier.
In the moonlight.
The lights were dim; under the glaring car headlights, people gathered in small circles of threes and fours, dining separately.
Li Yu called Ju Tianrui, Dong Tai, and Xiao Jun over for a meeting.
Currently, Yang Tianlong and Wang Cheng were still watching the gate.
They needed to discuss the night watch schedule.
They had over a hundred people here, but Li Yu couldn’t leave all the guarding to Ju Tianrui’s group.
So they drafted a plan for tonight’s watch schedule.
Six teams were formed, with four people in each team: two at the gate, and two on the building.
The gate needed to be guarded, and the half-constructed building needed someone in high places to observe surroundings.
It was six thirty at the time.
First group: Li Yu and Dapao, stationed at the gate were Yang Tianlong and Wang Cheng.
Second group: Ju Tianrui and Dong Tai, stationed at the gate were Li Tie and Ahong.
.....
Each team was paired with someone from the Inner City.
Not that they didn’t trust others, just for the sake of safety.
After eating, Li Yu and Dapao went to the abandoned, half-built building.
Only the columns were there, no walls, empty.
The higher you stand, the stronger the wind blows.
The gusts of cold wind made Li Yu shrink his neck.
Seeing Dapao wasn’t dressed warmly, Li Yu said to him, "Go put on a jacket and come back up. There’s a jacket in the camper, go get it."
Dapao glanced at Li Yu, seeing him dressed warmly, and didn’t hesitate further, saying, "Alright, I’ll go right now. The weather’s really cold; it’s above ten degrees during the day, but at night, only a few degrees." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Li Yu touched the cold, hard cement column, smiling as he said, "I don’t think it’s even that, probably around 0 degrees. Haven’t you noticed it’s getting colder lately?"
Dapao felt the same, shivering as he went down the building.
Downstairs, he didn’t feel too cold, but once up here, the cold wind nearly made him feel foolish.
After Dapao went down, Li Yu stood alone on this unprotected building.
Standing beside the cement pillar, he quietly observed the surrounding buildings.
With the mid-autumn approaching, the moonlight was bright.
In the white moonlight, he saw several Zombies emerging from the riverbank not far away.
Under the pale moonlight, on the original 320 countryside road, a dozen Zombies wandered aimlessly.
Night belonged to the Zombies.
From a distance, an occasional loud Zombie howl could be heard, unsure if some Survivors had been discovered by Zombies.
Clang clang—
Suddenly came the sound of something striking the iron plate.
Li Yu put on his Night Vision Goggles and looked toward the direction of the sound.
It was from the direction of the national road, a few Zombies hitting the iron plate made the noise.
Li Yu hesitated for a moment, but decided not to use the walkie-talkie.
Because he saw that Third Uncle led people over to handle it.
With Third Uncle there, he felt reassured.
They couldn’t let these Zombies make too much noise, or else more Zombies would be drawn over, which would be very troublesome.
The cold wind howled as Li Yu zipped his outermost jacket up to the top, snugging his hat, and continued observing the surroundings.
A few minutes later, the knocking sound disappeared.
They brought Crossbows with them, precisely for situations like this where they needed to attack from afar without making noise.
Li Yu gave a thumbs up to Third Uncle in the distance, who waved back to Li Yu emerging from the moonlight.
Li Yu felt a surge of indescribable emotion in his heart.
The lunar 15th was approaching soon.
Before the Doomsday, many people for the sake of survival and the future, families became scattered. But it was all in pursuit of a better future.
Family companionship, apart from childhood growth together, didn’t occur frequently once grown up.
Some people spend their whole life this way.
A wandering soul, deep down, still misses its homeland.
No matter how nice or prosperous the outside is, it doesn’t have much to do with oneself. Only those who raised you or currently accompany you are the most important.
.....
Li Yu felt very fortunate.
Even in the Doomsday, he had family, and they could spend time together without the worldly pressure of houses, cars, or money.
Without the bombardment of big and small ads creating endless desires.....
Only one thing matters.
Survive and live well.
Living well together.
That was enough.
...
Dapao came back up from downstairs, putting on the hood of his jacket, looking like a dark shadow.
