Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 1222 - 753: Crisis! Zombies Hidden in the House!
Even Li Gang, who just went down to the third floor to watch Old Che and his group, still had to wear a helmet in front of them, just in case.
Li Yu's hair was drenched in sweat, and his whole body emitted a strong smell of sweat.
Holding a bottle of ice water taken from the RV fridge, he took a few big gulps and then started eating.
Beside him sat Li Tie, who was controlling a drone hovering in the sky while watching the screen and eating the food in his hand.
The drone was incredibly useful, as if they had a pair of eyes in the sky, able to see far into the distance.
Li Tie had operated the drone frequently these past few days, and he handled it skillfully now.
"Brother, can we leave tomorrow?" Li Tie asked, stuffing a yellow peach into his mouth while mumbling.
Li Yu drank up the remaining ice water in one go and said, "Tomorrow, we'll empty out the grain in this warehouse, pack up the things from the underground chamber, and then we can head back. If we have time, we can search this place again to see if there are any valuable items we missed."
"Also, check if there are any undiscovered people within the Western Alliance. I estimate we'll be back the day after tomorrow."
Li Tie heard this and smiled wryly, "Alright, I feel like I'm getting moldy, the smell is making me want to throw up."
Li Yu shook his head and said, "Bear with it, we don't have the conditions to relax now. Rest well once we get back."
Li Tie could only reply, "Alright."
Thud thud thud, Dapao carried a bucket of water upstairs, and Li Yu looked at him curiously and asked, "Where did you get the water?"
Dapao laughed, "I found a well on my way over with the car this afternoon, so I took the opportunity to fill up our vehicle with water."
After saying this, Dapao poured a basin of water over himself and bent his head down to rinse a bit.
Then he shook his head and wiped his hair with a cloth.
Although he called it hair, it was actually just a buzz cut.
There was no choice; putting on and taking off the anti-explosion suit was no easy task, taking at least five minutes.
No one knew if anything might happen during those five minutes, so they didn't dare take the chance or easily remove their suits.
Especially since they were still within the Western Alliance.
Li Tie pressed a button on the control panel and then walked away happily.
He wanted to rinse as well.
Li Yu watched them without stopping them, simply shook his head slightly, then put on his helmet and stood up.
.......
Night fell.
The entire Western Alliance plunged into darkness.
The howling of zombies rose and fell.
It sounded as if they were nearby, but upon looking, they weren't immediately visible.
But soon, they saw them.
The house directly facing their granary had its door open, and four or five zombies emerged from inside.
From the house behind the granary, a few more zombies came out.
These zombies bathed in the moonlight, emerging from the houses of the Western Alliance, densely packed, resembling a parade of ghosts.
Li Yu, witnessing this scene, felt his scalp tingle.
He felt some relief that they hadn't searched these houses during the day; otherwise, they would have bumped into these zombies, making cleanup troublesome and wasting time.
He felt even more relieved that they had parked their vehicles in a circle around the granary, which could at least serve as a barricade against the zombies.
Moreover, the granary was quite sturdy, with only one large door on the first floor. Unless the zombies stacked themselves up to the second floor, four or five meters high, they couldn't get in.
The howling of zombies rose and fell.
Perhaps it was because of the lights on their side, or because there were dozens of people on their side, making it the most popular area in the Western Alliance, that the zombies slowly moved toward them.
Dapao, hearing the zombies' howls, didn't bother with his half-washed head, quickly put on his helmet, and looked around.
"Hiss! So many zombies! Did they all stay from last night? That's way too many!" Dapao said tremblingly.
Li Yu frowned and asked, "How many bullets did you bring up from the Unimog?"
Dapao thought for a moment and said, "About three thousand rounds, why? Brother Yu, do you think it's not enough?"
Li Yu looked at the sky and said, "Move half of the gear from the RV, excluding the heavy machine gun. Also, bring out the C4 explosives and place them on the second floor. You keep an eye on them then."
"Why is that?" Dapao asked, puzzled.
Li Yu explained, "What if it rains? Do you think our vehicles and this granary can hold off these zombies?"
Hearing this, Dapao shook his head and said, "Probably... not."
Li Yu's eyes sparkled with intensity, as he said, "I let my guard down. I was only thinking about moving everything onto the cars quickly, to guard them against being driven away, without realizing there would be so many zombies roaming the Western Alliance at night.
Had I known, we should have taken refuge in Gan Xiong's underground chamber. At least that place, even if it rained, could withstand the zombies' assault."
Dapao's face slightly changed as he looked around at the surrounding zombies that had already formed a siege, their numbers reaching several hundred. In such a small space, with so many zombies, it was incredibly terrifying.
"What do we do then?" Dapao asked, trembling.
"You go first and bring half the gear out, as we discussed. I just mentioned one condition: it might rain tonight. If it doesn't rain, we'll be fine staying here."
