Chapter 1638 - 913: Rolling in Wealth
Watching the Zombies scatter like a receding tide, Li Yu finally relaxed his furrowed brows.
Looks like this method is quite effective.
The retreat of the Zombies instantly eased the pressure on Ju Tianrui and the others.
After all, the temple walls were only a little over four meters high; once the Zombies started stacking up, the pressure they brought was enormous.
The spear in Ju Tianrui’s hand, stained with Zombie slime, was rinsed clean by the rain.
Li Yu walked out of the RV, climbed onto the vehicle by the wall, and watched the backs of the Zombie horde outside.
.....
Because he had to operate the Helicopter at low altitude, the difficulty was extremely high, and Lao Yi had to concentrate fully on the controls.
On top of that, Li Tie was holding the Zombie Attraction Potion and had to make sure it didn’t spill, which meant Lao Yi had to fly the Helicopter even more steadily.
In the heavy rain, these Zombies were moving extremely fast, almost reaching the speed of an adult man running.
Under Lao Yi’s control, the Helicopter flew steadily.
As time passed, half an hour later—
Li Yu received a message from Third Uncle, informing him they would reach the temple in ten minutes.
Third Uncle put down the military radio headset and watched the sheets of rain outside the Helicopter.
The rain was coming down harder and harder.
Since they were close to the temple, they lowered the Helicopter.
But the fuel gauge on the instrument panel was also showing a warning level.
Ten minutes later.
Standing in the Buddha Tower, Li Yu saw a Helicopter flying in from the sky.
"Third Uncle is back," Li Yu said to himself.
He hurriedly ran over.
Vrrrr——
The Helicopter landed steadily on that open patch of ground.
Jackals looked at the fuel gauge and let out a long breath.
Damn it!
They’d almost run out of fuel!
Too close.
Splash——
Third Uncle stepped down from the Helicopter and saw Li Yu standing in the rain.
"Third Uncle!" Li Yu called out, a little excited.
"Come on, let’s talk somewhere out of the rain," Third Uncle said.
They all returned to the Buddha Tower.
"Where’s the other Helicopter? I didn’t see it just now," Third Uncle asked, a bit puzzled.
"I had Lao Yi fly it out. Xiao Tie is helping lure the Zombies away with the Attraction Potion. The walls here are too low; it’s hard to hold off the Zombies in this downpour," Li Yu replied.
Then he immediately asked, "So? Did it go smoothly?"
Third Uncle said slowly, "We’ve done all we can; the rest is up to fate. Anyway, we already dropped the medicine over that scam park. To make sure we had enough fuel for the return, we didn’t stay there."
Hearing this, Li Yu said, "As long as it’s dropped, that’s enough. When the rain stops, we’ll go take a look. It’s finally almost over."
Li Yu’s last sentence spoke everyone’s mind.
In just over half a month, it felt like half a year had passed.
The latitude here was relatively low, so it was already hot, and with the heavy rain now, the air felt suffocating.
Third Uncle asked again, "How long has Xiao Tie been out?"
Li Yu lowered his head to check his watch and said, "About twenty minutes. It’ll probably take another two and a half hours before they can make it back."
After all, they had to lure those Zombies as far away as possible. As long as they kept enough fuel to return, it was fine. Counting the Helicopter’s flight time, it would be about three to four hours.
Third Uncle nodded and said nothing.
Outside, the rain was pouring down; the accumulated water in the temple flowed out through gaps under the vehicles.
Two and a half hours later.
Lao Yi and the others finally returned. Once the Helicopter had settled, he rubbed his slightly numb neck, then opened the door and climbed down.
Li Tie put the resealed Zombie Potion back into its holster, then placed it into the silver case.
Carrying the Zombie Attraction Potion, he got off the Helicopter.
"Big Bro, we did it," Li Tie said as he handed the silver safe in his hand over to Li Yu.
Li Yu took it, opened it, and checked the medicine inside.
It was still intact. He then said to Li Tie, "Good work. Your dad and the others are back too. They’re in the Buddha Tower now—you can go see them."
"Okay." Li Tie nodded, then headed toward the Buddha Tower.
The rain kept falling.
It went on for a whole day and night.
During this time, Li Yu took the medicine and went out several times with Ant and the others in the Helicopter, luring the returning Zombie hordes away again.
Using this method, they could lure the Zombies off without spending much effort; for them, this was the best approach.
The only thing they burned through was aviation kerosene.
But for their current situation, it wasn’t that tight yet.
At two in the morning that day.
The rain gradually eased.
Two hours later, the rain stopped.
Another two hours after that, at six in the morning.
Dawn broke.
From within the temple, they could even see the sun on the horizon.
The sky, washed by the rain, was an incredibly deep blue.
Pure and beautiful.
The Zombie Tide had already been lured dozens of kilometers away, so they didn’t need to wait for the Zombies to disperse.
So Li Yu had Third Uncle and the others fly over in the Helicopter to scout out the situation in the Myanmar Park.
To see whether the Zombie Attraction Potion had had enough effect.
Third Uncle didn’t hesitate; he accepted the task and set off with Old Qin and the others.
After they left, Li Yu began calculating how to receive the supplies from Myanmar and Laos.
After surviving in the Doomsday this long, they’d stockpiled a decent amount of useful supplies.
Just the guns they’d seized in Lao Country and Yue Country alone added up to several thousand, not to mention fuel and other materials.
