Chapter 159 Heavy Rain for 20 Consecutive Days
The mountains are full of wind and rain, and the occasional lightning and thunder illuminate the dark night.
The night is always there, haunted by terror. It was originally a lush and verdant forest, but now because of the lightning flashing, the faint light makes the mountain forest look like a bloody mouth. It seems to be devouring people!
The rain kept falling, and the atmosphere was not very harmonious.
It has been raining continuously for 20 days. The previous heavy rains were about 10 days. This time the heavy rain has lasted for a long time. The air is humid and my body feels sticky all day long.
In this torrential rain, they are fighting against zombies and draining water every day.
are facing these horrors, are
Even people in the base have electricity, hot water, and hot food, and can also rest for 16 hours in addition to fighting zombies for 8 hours.
Compared with other people struggling to survive in the torrential rain of the last days, they are already extremely happy.
However, facing the ugly zombies in the rain every day, it is inevitable that I feel a little bored in my heart, and everyone is a little depressed.
Even Li Hang, who had always been cheerful, felt a little depressed.
Rainy weather always affects people's mood to a certain extent.
More than 20 days of heavy rain have flooded many places. As early as the fifth day of rain, Li Yu and others had already picked some vegetables grown in the fields.
If it is just a drizzle, or a long drought and heavy rain, it is a kind of nourishment for vegetables and fruits. But if it is a continuous torrential rain, the roots of the plants have been irrigated with water, and they are prone to rot.
After harvesting the vegetables, some are used directly to make pickles, and some are placed on the second floor. Two dehumidifiers are placed on the second floor to try to maintain a dry environment in this space.
In addition to putting dehumidifiers on the second floor, Li Yu also put about 5 large dehumidifiers in the warehouse. Basically, after a few hours, they will pour water.
When the warehouse was first built, we fully considered the hot weather environment, the heavy rain and heavy humidity environment, and various extreme weather conditions. Therefore, the entire warehouse was very low, and many waterproof and heat insulation measures were taken.
Li Yu got off the fence and stayed quietly downstairs in the villa, while the rain fell from the sky.
The grandfather next to me also moved a small bench from the side and sat next to it.
"If it rains like this, we will probably miss the rice planting season. We plant late rice in June, and it's almost the end of May now. Yuzai, when will this rain start?" Grandpa said while smoking his old pipe. Said.
Li Yu is also a little worried. In his memory, the apocalypse and heavy rain are closely related. Whenever there is a major danger, a heavy rain will strike.
In the five years before his rebirth, he encountered too many heavy rains. He remembered that one heavy rain lasted for almost several months. After the heavy rain, there was a drought.
Human survival is extremely difficult!
He remembered that in the first year of the apocalypse, there should not have been heavy rain for more than a month. It had rained for 20 days, so it should be over soon.
So he said: "Grandpa, it should be almost done."
Grandpa glanced at Li Yu and didn't say anything. He just asked Li Yu, but actually he didn't want to ask how long Li Yu would continue to rain. It was a kind of self-question and answer.
After there is no weather forecast, and after the apocalypse comes, we don’t know whether it will rain tomorrow or what the weather will be like tomorrow.
Some elderly people are very familiar with the 24 solar terms most of the time. They can tell whether it will rain or whether the sun will shine tomorrow by looking at the sky.
However, with the advent of the end of the world, this experience is of little use.
Because, God, it's full of uncertainty.
Li Yu looked in front of him, and the rain formed a curtain, falling like a waterfall.
Suddenly, I thought about something and walked towards the drainage outlet. The drainage outlet is relatively large, with a diameter of one meter and two meters. This kind of cement pipe is mixed with reinforced concrete and stones. After careful stirring and drying in the sun, Then pour it with water to make it hard, and repeat it several times. This makes the cement pipe very hard.
Rain fell from the sky, and the water flowed out from the mountains, converging into a medium-sized stream. The stream was fast and rushed towards the drainage outlet.
The drain outlet has been welded with steel bars, leaving only a hole of about 3 cm in size between the steel bars.
This drainage outlet has a height difference of about three meters from the ground, like a well. At this time, due to the influx of water, the water surface is less than 1 meter from the ground.
Li Yu thought for a while, then moved a big stone on the ground, like the wellhead, and sealed it.
Finally, he placed a few more big rocks on top and then left.
But he said that Li Hang, who was still killing zombies on the wall today, now bravely raised his spear, then concentrated, and stabbed the zombie's head with a whoosh.
Then, deftly draw the spear back.
The whole movement is smooth and flowing.
Not just him, in the past twenty days, everyone has been killing zombies with spears, and even developed a better method.
Just tie a tough rope to the tail of the spear, and the spear is like a javelin. It can shoot zombies farther away.
But there is a certain risk. If you pull it back slowly, the spear will be easily pulled by other zombies.
This requires everyone to be fast, accurate and ruthless. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Now that everyone has become accustomed to this method, the efficiency of killing zombies will become faster and faster.
Just like an assembly line worker, after performing mechanical movements, the mastery of a certain movement is much higher. Everyone was in the rain, constantly twisting their waists and shooting with their hands.
Whether in terms of accuracy, physical strength, or grasp of zombies' weaknesses, everything has been greatly improved.
After Li Yu fixed the drainage outlet, he was ready to go back and take a rest.
Yesterday, he took the place of his father and helped him work for 4 more hours. He just slept for 6 hours and ate something.
While there is still time, I can get some more sleep now.
Back to the villa, there are not many people living in this villa. It's Li Yu, Li Hang, Li Yuan, plus two parents, and grandparents.
Li Yu was about to go back to his room. When he passed by the small living room on the third floor, he saw Li Hang's computer on the desktop in the living room. The computer was still on and the screen was still on.
"This Xiaohang, if it weren't for the hydroelectric generator, could still generate electricity, the base's electricity consumption would be very tight. We can't save some electricity now. Alas." Li Yu murmured.
After saying that, I was about to shut down the laptop and close it.
However, before shutting down the computer, I saw a line of words written by Li Hang on the computer page.
"Even if the weather is bad, I have to stay happy! Study inner strength, focus on yourself, and write down your strengths."
When Li Yu saw this, he was suddenly curious, but he didn't want to peek at his brother's things.
