The mountain breeze is steep, the bamboo leaves are whistling, and the fallen leaves in the forest are rolled up, flying higher and higher with the wind.
Li Yu looked at the rotten leaves in front of him, his face expressionless, and his heart still had not regained peace.
Time passes bit by bit.
The time came to 3:30 in the morning, and it still didn’t rain.
Li Yu took out a cigarette from his pocket and wanted to smoke one, but he felt his throat was itchy and uncomfortable, so he endured it.
But the wind got stronger and stronger, blowing away the dullness of the night.
For an hour and a half, Li Yu stood on the wall without moving much.
The time came to five o'clock in the morning.
That night, Li Gang and others, who had not noticed anything unusual, were still on duty conscientiously.
The second uncle was not on duty tonight. He slept peacefully in the residential area.
The wolf dogs in the villa area were lying on the ground, languid.
The big turtle that Li Yu originally carried back slowly stretched out its claws, held the turtle shell, and crawled towards the southwest corner of the villa.
Huhu——
A strong wind blew.
The bamboo forest in the inner city has straight bamboo poles swaying and bamboo leaves falling rustlingly.
Doors and windows in residential areas creaked and blew in the wind, making unpleasant noises.
There is a solemn and silent atmosphere permeating the mountain forest. The morning light, which should have been as white as a fish belly, was obscured by thick dark clouds, and the rolling thunder echoed across the vast land, like the bells of doom.
In the decaying forest, there are few trees. Some are alive, while others have collapsed on the ground and rotted, giving off a desolate atmosphere.
The sky has been obscured by dark clouds, leaving only dim gray light shining among the branches and leaves. The leaves rustled, seeming to tell of the impending disaster.
Suddenly, the sky suddenly became gloomier, and dark clouds rolled toward the center of the mountain forest.
The wind gradually increased and roared, causing the trees to sway, as if they were fighting against their inevitable fate.
The branches rubbed against each other and made a hoarse sound, as if nature was issuing a warning.
The iron pieces outside the inner city food factory were blown by the wind and made a whirring sound.
There was a strong humidity in the air.
The ground became cold and stuffy, so stuffy that it made people breathless.
Gradually, some lonely raindrops began to fall one after another, seeming to dispel the depression on their own, darkly seeming to herald the coming super heavy rain.
The raindrops hit the branches of the trees, making a small and crisp sound. This sound is particularly harsh in the silent mountain forest.
However, as time went by, the raindrops became denser and the sound became heavier.
In an instant, the sky seemed to be broken, and the lightning in the sky cut through the darkness and illuminated the entire mountain forest.
Boom——
There was a loud crash of thunder.
The electric light instantly illuminated everything clearly, and the earth seemed to be injected with a dose of amazing vitality.
Immediately afterwards, the roaring thunder resounded throughout the mountain forest, deafening.
Every sound of thunder carries infinite power, as if announcing the end of the world to the world. The mountain forest trembled, as if it could not bear the power of nature.
In the inner city, the second uncle was awakened by the thunder. He immediately got up in his sleep. He got up so violently that there was a sudden pain in the back of his head.
He quickly opened the curtains, ran to the window, and opened the curtains.
Boom——
The thunder came first, deafening and frightening.
Another bolt of lightning lit up the entire base.
The pain in the back of his head came in waves, and it was so severe that he thought he was dreaming.
But at this moment, the lightning and thunder made him realize that everything he was seeing was real.
"It's going to rain heavily! I have to go and take a look at the wall quickly." The second uncle murmured.
A second aunt's voice came from the bed: "Lao Li, is it going to rain? The thunder is too loud."
"Well, it's going to rain. You can continue to sleep. I'll go take a look at the wall." The second uncle said as he walked to the door of the room to get dressed.
"Well, the weather is normal every day. Be careful. I have to get up and check the doors and windows." The second aunt said with concern.
The second uncle moved very quickly. He got dressed in a few minutes, then took a flashlight and ran towards the wall.
Almost everyone in the base, both inside and outside the city, was awakened by the thunder and lightning.
The thunder is so loud that it seems to be pounding in your ears.
Bai Jie was also frightened awake by the thunder. She was having a sweet dream, dreaming about herself and
But the next second, this huge vibration suddenly woke her up.
She lay on the bed in the room assigned to her with a look of great horror in her eyes.
At that moment, her heart felt as if it had been chopped with a knife.
immediately.
His heart suddenly shrank and kept beating, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably, as if he had not returned to his soul.
His mind went blank, as if his soul had been drained from his whole body.
Suck~
call--
It took half a minute for her to recover from the thunder.
She was originally a little afraid of thunder, but on this originally quiet night, especially when she was sleeping soundly at five o'clock, a sudden burst of violent thunder frightened her!
In addition to her, there were many others who were awakened by this grand thunder just like her.
Almost everyone in the base woke up.
The third uncle, uncle, Li Tie and others got up, put on their clothes and rushed to the wall.
The rain is getting heavier.
The drizzle of rain fell on the ground.
A super heavy rain followed, with lead-gray water columns pouring crazily from the sky. The raindrops were as dense as a waterfall, hitting the ground hard and causing a rapid splash of water.
Five thirteen in the morning.
Heavy rain arrives in Xincheng.
Boom——
There was lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down.
Li Yu slowly walked to the door of the duty room and dragged over a chair. Under the eaves, the rainwater could spread to his trouser legs and splash on his body.
But most of the rainwater was blocked by the eaves. He watched the lightning and thunder, and the raindrops as big as beans formed a line.
He slowly took out the cigarette he had always wanted to smoke but had never smoked from his pocket.
Some thin strands of rain fell on his face, and a drop or two wet his cigarette, but he didn't care.
Bada——
The flint rubbed, the flame lit the cigarette, and white smoke curled up.
But it was blown away by a gust of wind carrying rain.
call--
Seeing the lightning and thunder, Li Yu finally became calm at this moment.
He is not afraid of the coming flood, but what he is afraid of is the danger that has never come.
Difficulties, tribulations, problems, setbacks, it would be better if we could see them earlier and solve them earlier.
But he couldn't bear the heart-wrenching waiting process where he knew the danger was coming but never came.
It's like the feeling of encountering a big event in life and not knowing what will happen or whether it will come.
It's like a wife who is about to give birth to a baby and doesn't know whether it will be a boy or a girl or whether the birth will go smoothly.
It was so scary, so tense.
Whenever there is peace of mind during major events, calm your mother down.
call--
At that moment when the thunder rumbles and the rain pours.
All Li Yu's nervousness was exhaled in this puff of smoke.
"He's finally here!" Li Yu cursed with relief on his face.
Rao City.
The corner of Sanqing Mountain.
It was already half past nine in the morning when the heavy rain came.
At this time, Xu Chengcai and Xiaoyong had climbed to 800 meters on the mountain.
They got up early and climbed up the mountain. This Sanqing Mountain is more than 1,800 meters above sea level. There is a Taoist temple on the mountain.
In Xu Chengcai's opinion, it might be possible to find some useful supplies or even food here.
Sanqing Mountain has a steep terrain with numerous giant peaks, making it very precipitous.
It is quite difficult for humans to climb up, let alone zombies.
In any case, this place is at least safer than other places.
He wanted to find a place to rest temporarily, so he chose this place.
However, when they woke up in the morning, the sky was still gray.
Until half past nine, instead of getting brighter, the sky became darker and darker, as if it was night again.
"Xiaoyong, don't go any further, let's find a place to take shelter from the rain." Xu Chengcai held a flashlight, shined it on Xiaoyong two meters in front, and shouted loudly.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger. If he didn't speak loudly, Xiaoyong probably wouldn't be able to hear him.
Along the way, in addition to meeting seven or eight zombies at the foot of the mountain, they encountered two more zombies wearing tattered monk robes on the way up. After climbing to the height of 400 meters, they did not encounter another zombie. Only zombies.
After Xiaoyong heard his father's words, he quickly stopped walking forward, took two steps back, and held his father's hand.
In the darkness, heavy rain poured down, and the scene of Sanqing Mountain became blurry and mysterious.
The dark clouds in the sky swallowed up all the light, leaving the entire mountain range shrouded in darkness.
Xu Chengcai looked at the higher ground. He saw that the Taoist temple still had to go up 600 meters, but now that the rainstorm was so heavy, it was difficult for them to run any further.
The rain was pouring down, and it was getting heavier and heavier.
Originally in the mountains, at high altitudes, the temperature would be even colder.
I don’t know what’s going on today, but it’s much colder than yesterday.
It used to be twenty degrees during the day, but now it's probably only one or two degrees above freezing.
Rain, strong winds, and low temperatures can easily cause the body's heat to drain away. In this case, it is very easy to get sick.
They don't dare to get sick. Once they get sick, it will be a fatal blow to them.
Xu Chengcai took out a big raincoat from his backpack, put it on the two of them, and ran to a small step on the right.
It looks like there should be some facilities over there, and a small step will not be built to pass there.
After walking tens of meters to the right, under the rain, they saw a small house over there under the light of a flashlight.
It is very simple and looks like an ancient building, but after touching it, I found that this is an antique grocery store made of reinforced concrete and soil.
Push the door open and enter.
As soon as the door was pushed open, he fell directly to the ground.
"." Xu Chengcai looked at the fallen door.
"Dad, you are so strong."
"I didn't use any force."
This grocery store is like a small newsstand before the end of the world. Facing the open space in front, a 1×2 space has been hollowed out in the middle to facilitate the sale of things.
Xu Chengcai felt a little uneasy when he saw the grocery store, but when he entered, he found that everything inside was empty.
In an instant, my mood sank to the bottom.
But he quickly adjusted his mentality, looked at the abandoned black cardboard boxes on the ground, and said to Xiaoyong: "Wait here for a while, I will go out to collect some firewood."
He handed the dagger to Xiaoyong and explained it again.
Then he groped up and down the platform again.
Finally found a roller blind on it.
I pulled it down hard and it seemed to be stuck on something.
Xu Chengcai took a stick and swept it on both sides.
Boom——
There was a thunder outside, and Xiaoyong shivered.
However, Xu Chengcai's hands did not waver at all and were very steady.
But with the sound of thunder, the roller blind finally came down.
Crash--
The roller blind was pulled down directly by him.
Xu Chengcai nodded, touched Xiaoyong's head, and leaned the door against the wall again.
Then he rushed to the back of the small house. He had just seen some dead trees, which he could use to make a fire.
After all, the temperature is now close to freezing, and they are all soaked by the rain, so they can easily catch a cold.
He rushed into the darkness.
Thunder rumbled, as if the heaven and earth were trembling, and every time lightning flashed, it illuminated the scenery for a moment.
Under the heavy rain, the mountain peaks looked even steeper and more majestic.
Misty mist rises from the valley and fills the entire mountain range.
Under the cover of darkness and rain, the Taoist temples and palaces of Yisanqing Mountain were gradually revealed.
The rainwater rushes down from the mountain waterfall, forming silvery white flows. When the water splashes, it looks like a crystal bead curtain in a fairyland.
Among the towering peaks, ancient trees tower into the sky, and their swaying branches dance wildly in the storm.
The shadows of the trees reflected in the stream looked even more twisted and weird under the light of lightning.
Thick mist wraps around the mountains and forests, making the entire scenery as unreal as a dream.
In this dark and rainstorm-filled Sanqing Mountain, it is mysterious and majestic, but under this terrifying rainstorm, it makes people feel palpitating.
Xiaoyong holds the dagger given to him by his father in his left hand and a small flashlight in his right hand.
Observing this hut, the hut is not large, only less than ten square meters.
The ground was very dirty, and the black rotten paper shells were covered with a thick layer of dust.
There was dust everywhere.
He saw a package of braised beef noodles.
He quickly ran over and picked it up, a light bag.
He was a little discouraged, but he didn't give up. He turned the empty bag over again and patted it on his hand. There was nothing.
He tore the bag open and turned around.
I saw a little bit of precipitated salt and very broken residue on it.
He took a greedy lick.
"Hmm." The taste is somewhat similar to what I remember, but it also has a little bit of dust.
He carefully turned the bag back over to avoid letting the salt and debris on it fall to the ground due to shaking hands.
Solemnly and solemnly, I put this packaging bag into my small bag and stuffed it.
He started searching the grocery store again, which looked like it had been searched countless times.
He was very attentive and didn't miss a single spot.
But the place seemed to have been searched very clean, and he only found some broken packaging bags and empty cans.
He smelled the faint smell of barbecued sausages on the wooden skewers. It was very faint, but he remembered that this was the smell of the barbecued sausages he ate when his father took him out to play in the park.
The sausage was clean, but he put it aside so that he could use it to light the fire later.
After rummaging twice, he only found an open glass jar, which was full of mouthworms. Then the mouthworms seemed to be dead, turning black and smelly.
He was a little discouraged and moved the broken wooden shelf in the southwest corner. This shelf could also be used as a burning object later.
Then lean against the wall in the southwest corner.
Suddenly, he felt a bulge on his back, reaching up to his waist.
"What is this?" Xiaoyong was curious, then turned around and looked at the corner behind him.
He pressed hard, but couldn't hold it down. After thinking about it, he pulled it out hard.
boom--
A small door opened.
