Chapter 1404: Chapter 824: Level 7, Level 8, Level 9...

Qingyang felt a bit reluctant when he heard that. This sword had accompanied him for many years. It wasn’t that he was afraid they wouldn’t give it back, but that they might carelessly lose it.

Seeming to notice Qingyang’s hesitation, Ju Tianrui had quite a good impression of this Taoist priest, so he patiently explained, "Don’t worry, hand it over to us. We’ll definitely return it to you when the time comes."

Only then did Qingyang hand the sword in his hand to Ju Tianrui. Ju Tianrui took it, then asked the team member beside him to register it.

Very soon, with the two lines entering at a rate of a hundred people per minute, there was no one left standing outside the side gate after twenty minutes.

This Weng City of the Third Outer City was three times the size of the Weng City in the First outer city, about three mu in area.

But now, crammed with over two thousand people, it still felt a bit crowded.

Everyone was squeezed together, then subjected to a second round of inspection.

....

At the same time.

Inside the Big Camphor Tree Base.

After Li Yu finished ordering the many Cooperative Personnel and Extra Staff to come in.

He urgently formed a first-aid squad. He wasn’t sure whether this typhoon would blow Zombies inside.

If Zombies were blown into the base and not handled in time, the damage could very well destroy the entire base.

So Li Yu instructed Luo and Lao Yi and the others in the Outer City to take charge of handling any crisis situation in the Outer City, including any problems that might arise among the Cooperative Personnel and Extra Staff.

On the other hand, Li Yu had Third Uncle lead Ant, Jackals, Old Qin and the others together with Xiao Jun’s squad to safeguard the security of the Big Camphor Tree Base’s perimeter walls.

With wind this strong, ordinary people might not be able to withstand it.

He also had Uncle in the base protect the safety of the Inner City and stationed people at the livestock farm.

And he issued a notice that without orders, no one in the entire base was allowed to go outside.

Everyone had to stay indoors with doors and windows sealed. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

In Li Yu’s view, even if some Zombies were blown in by the wind, as long as everyone hid indoors or in basements and only came out to clear them after the typhoon passed, it would be fine.

That way, the Zombies would have no chance to infect people.

As Li Yu’s orders went out one after another, the entire Big Camphor Tree Base began operating like a huge machine.

Research in the Research Room was temporarily suspended, and everyone returned to where they were supposed to be.

Even An Ya and the others still in the greenhouse were driven back to the basement of the Residential Building.

An Ya had originally wanted to stay in the greenhouse, because in her view the Inner City was very safe, but if the strong wind blew the greenhouses away, she could at least rush to save the crops.

But after Dapao received Li Yu’s order, he went straight to the greenhouse and took An Ya away.

As the agricultural expert of the base, nothing could be allowed to happen to An Ya.

With her here, the Big Camphor Tree Base’s agriculture could reach this scale and yield.

The wind grew stronger and stronger.

You could even feel the damp moisture in it.

In the duty room.

Father Li suddenly rushed in.

"Xiao Yu, where’s your brother?" Li Hongyuan’s face was tense; he blurted the question as soon as he entered.

Li Yu frowned. Hadn’t he just given the order?

Everyone was supposed to go back indoors. What was going on!

He then used his walkie-talkie to broadcast to the whole base, asking around.

But at this point everyone was busy and all said they hadn’t seen Li Hang.

Just then, Yang Tianlong replied over the walkie-talkie, "Xiao Hang and I are over here dismantling the solar panels. He didn’t bring a walkie-talkie. As soon as the wind picked up he dragged me up here, saying the solar panels can’t have any problems."

As he spoke, the wind was howling into his mouth.

The words weren’t very clear, but the meaning was.

Only then did Li Yu breathe a sigh of relief, feeling a bit lucky at the same time.

Lucky that Li Hang was fine, and lucky that Li Hang could think of this.

"How’s the dismantling going? Do you need help?" Li Yu asked.

Yang Tianlong replied again, "Almost done. Lao Xie and the others are helping over here; just the last few panels left."

"Once you’re done dismantling, get back indoors immediately. Don’t go out again, you hear?"

"Okay, received...."

Watching his father’s expression slowly relax, Li Yu said to him, "Dad, we’ve found him. Go back and stay inside the Inner City first. Shut the doors and windows and don’t go out."

Father Li nodded and didn’t refuse.

He turned around and left.

Li Yu followed him out of the duty room, watched his father’s departing back, then looked toward the two big mountains in the Inner City.

The wind turbines on the mountains had already been ordered dismantled by him as soon as he got back.

Everyone had been puzzled as to why he’d made that decision.

Li Yu’s explanation at the time was that since they already had the Zombie Generator, the wind turbines weren’t needed for now.

The reason wasn’t convincing, but they still did as Li Yu said.

In fact, the reason Li Yu gave this order was that under such a violent typhoon, the blades of the wind turbines were very likely to be blown down.

Once such huge blades were blown off, under this raging wind they would be like scythes inside the Inner City—extremely dangerous!

During this period, Li Yu had made many decisions in the base that they couldn’t understand, but thanks to his unparalleled authority in the Big Camphor Tree Base, they carried them out one by one.

And now, with the raging typhoon surging in, everyone up and down the Inner and Outer City couldn’t help feeling glad they had listened to Li Yu.
