Chapter 1666 - 924: Water Flows Without Competing for First
Gui Province.
Tong City.
The sky was already dark, Li Yu and the others had a large number of people, and with over three hundred vehicles, there was simply no large enough space to accommodate them all.
So, an hour before nightfall, Third Uncle began searching for a suitable encampment ahead.
They looked at some township factories and city suburban parks, but found none suitable, finally spotting a college branch campus located in the suburbs.
The campus wasn’t very large, with just over one hundred acres on each side of the road. This space was enough to accommodate all the vehicles.
For them, this area was just right; if it were too large, patrolling at night would be cumbersome.
Eastern campus.
The vehicles drove through the school’s gates, which were not wide, only about six or seven meters.
The gates were open, and the ground inside was piled with fallen leaves; black plastic bags and other garbage swirled in the air.
Rumbling—
As the vehicles drove in, they made a rattling sound over the speed bumps.
The entire school was not large, with only a dozen scattered buildings and a central artificial lake, which had a very low water level after the past two days of scorching sun.
"Director Li, we will now conduct a safety inspection." Ju Tianrui got off the infantry fighting vehicle and said to Li Yu through the walkie-talkie.
"Okay, be careful." The RV slowed down, and Li Yu looked at the lush trees outside the window.
Then, Ju Tianrui led dozens of combat personnel to the buildings to check for survivors and zombies, to prevent any sudden appearances while everyone rested at night.
The vehicles slowed and parked by the roadside.
Li Yu got off the vehicle and looked up at the devastated view of the campus; the building walls were covered with climbing plants, and the walls, seemingly due to water saturation from heavy rain and weathering, were blackened and cracked.
The ground was covered with mud and fallen leaves, adding a touch of desolation.
On the other side.
Luo, with combat personnel and some extra staff like Yu Ming, went to inspect the breaches in the school’s walls.
Nearly a hundred extra staff were enlisted this time, and each was given firearms and ammunition.
The other cooperative personnel, however, did not get these.
Quickly, darkness fell.
In the school, car headlights lit up the central area, with clusters of people squatting by the roadside resting.
Thud thud—
Li Yu looked up in the direction of the footsteps.
It was Ju Tianrui, returning from checking safety issues in the buildings.
"Director Li, we’ve checked everywhere and found some zombies, which we’ve taken care of."
"Hmm." Li Yu nodded slightly.
"However, on the third floor of Building B, we found some bedding and clothes belonging to survivors, along with some daily items. It seems like they left not too long ago; we’re not sure if they’ll return," Ju Tianrui continued.
Li Yu thought for a moment and said:
"It’s fine. We’re just staying for one night, so just strengthen the night watch. Also, talk to Yu Ming and Bai Wenyang, get them involved in tonight’s duty. The place is large, the walls aren’t high, and we’re short on guards."
Hearing this, Ju Tianrui breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he also felt quite pressured with just their people guarding.
In this school, they didn’t find anything useful, not even a chair.
Because during the previous extreme cold, everything that could burn was used for heating.
Li Yu and the others weren’t disappointed, because the harvest from this trip was already significant.
Coming here to camp was merely to stay one night.
Crackle~
The night temperature was much lower than during the day, and the burning fire provided both light and warmth.
Meanwhile.
Big Camphor Tree Base.
In the lit interrogation room of the Inner City.
There was an iron chair in the center, with a man sitting above.
The man was bound in chains, locking his feet and hands, secured with three locks, completely
He had blood at the corners of his mouth, his clothes were tattered, and he looked rather miserable.
"Please stop hitting me, I’ve said everything I know. And I never intended to do anything, just a protest, and I was coaxed into it by Qiu Yuanze and the others, please let me go."
In front of him stood four or five people.
It was Second Uncle, Uncle, Li Hang, and Ding Jiu.
"Second Uncle, Uncle, I feel like continuing to question him will yield nothing." Li Hang placed the red-hot iron rod into a bucket of water.
The red-hot iron rod hissed as it touched the cold water.
Second Uncle and Uncle nodded in agreement and then stepped out of the interrogation room together.
After leaving the interrogation room, Uncle turned to Yang Zhongshi, the guard at the door, and said, "Keep a close eye on him, don’t let him escape."
This Yang Zhongshi was one of the early joiners from Old Lv’s team.
Last year, he got together with the optimistic Xiao Han, who was under Song Min, and recently, Xiao Han got pregnant; they decided to keep the child.
Having a child takes courage, both before Doomsday and now.
But to increase the loyalty of the Inner and Outer City personnel and for future considerations, Big Camphor Tree Base encourages childbirth.
Currently, in the Inner and Outer City of Big Camphor Tree Base.
Apart from Li Hang, five or six children have been born in the last two years within the city.
