Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 978 The heavy rain stops and the aurora is beautiful!

The heavy rain has been falling for more than a month. During this period, the plants in the mountain forest have grown rapidly.

In the bamboo forest in the city inside the camphor tree base, the bamboos are knotted and growing taller and taller.

Li Yu put down the military radio headset in the duty room.

The situation in Oil City was much better with the help of the mobile knife.

It's just that the situation in the satellite cities around the Da Zhangshu Base seems a bit bleak at the moment.

There has been no contact with the fifth satellite city for a long time. Li Yumo thought that all the people in the satellite city were dead.

The fourth satellite city is slightly better, but it is too far from the base and has no heavy artillery support. Today, the second uncle contacted Xu Taishan. Two-thirds of the manpower there was lost, and less than 300 people were left. Now they are huddled in the buildings. , the wall has already been captured by zombies.

The walls of the first, second, and third satellite cities have also fallen, but their situation is better than that of the fourth satellite city.

Before they withdrew from the wall, the base bombarded a wave of zombies with heavy artillery from a long distance. They did not lose many men when they retreated into the building.

But they lost more people when resisting the zombies.

Now the total number of people in the four satellite cities is less than 600.

This number is slightly less than the old cooperators.

According to Li Yu and his second uncle's estimate, the number of survivors who escaped this time should be between [-] and [-].

A thousand people who participated in the protest were subsequently caught and killed. During this heavy rain, the fifth satellite city with the largest number of people was wiped out, and the number of people in several other satellite cities was also reduced a lot.

The remaining people are only one-third of those who originally fled here.

Seeing Li Yu in a daze after contacting Oil City and Satellite City, he sighed, walked over and said to Li Yu:

“Our capabilities are limited, and not to mention whether bringing all those people into the base will cause civil strife, let’s just say that they will have no food when they come in, and how much food will we consume to feed them.

People will go crazy when they are hungry. These old cooperators basically have some food in storage. Even if they consume it all, they can be given part of it on credit.

But if those new collaborators come in, the food pressure will be too great. "

Li Yu knew that his second uncle had misunderstood him and thought he was feeling uncomfortable, but in fact he was not.

Because he knew very well how much food was stored in the base.

Even if all new collaborators are brought in, he will be able to support himself for a while.

But why?

Why should the food they worked so hard to hoard and grow be eaten by others in order to save more people?

and then?
What are the benefits?
Was it the protests and rebellions that broke out before?
Or are you greedy and want more?

In the last days, the sinister human heart is so ungrateful that it owes nothing to anyone.

Moreover, Li Yu thought he had done well enough.

The satellite city was left for them to avoid zombies, and even a small amount of food was left.

He has a clear conscience.

The reason why he was in a daze was because the heavy rain had been falling for more than a month, and counting the time, it should be almost over.

The second uncle saw that Li Yu didn't answer him, so he poured a glass of water for Li Yu.

"Drink some water. The rain outside here smells like Houttuynia cordata. It's better to filter it and boil it before drinking it." The second uncle said.

Li Yu took the water glass, nodded and said:
"Don't worry too much.

I asked Bai Jie and the others, and they said that when lightning discharges in the air, it can help purify the air.

Because lightning discharges produce a gas called ozone.Ozone has strong oxidizing properties and can decompose harmful substances in the air, such as sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, etc.

This kind of ozone is a light blue gas with a special odor. When the concentration is low, it smells like grass, and when the concentration is high, it smells like Houttuynia cordata.

The recent heavy rain, lightning and thunder, caused by too much lightning.That's not a bad thing. "

Li Yu suddenly paused.

He remembered that after a heavy rain, isn't the strong solar radiation a bad thing?

Heavy rains that have fallen continuously for such a long time have taken away dust and other tiny particles in the air, reducing the effect on diffuse reflection of sunlight, and coupled with abnormal solar flare activity.
Seeing Li Yu stop talking, the second uncle asked with some confusion: "What's wrong?"

Li Yu shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just suddenly thought about the research on zombies in the scientific research room. Bai Jie told me last time that a large number of cancer cells were found in the jumping zombie.

According to their research, even if the individual has died, the cells can still survive for a long time.Within 24 hours of death, some mice had more than 1000 genes still active, some more active than before death, especially those that cause cancer.

So the reason why this zombie is able to change is because the number of cancer cells has increased, and the increase in cancer cells is related to the trace elements in the rainwater, but they have not found the source of infection, so it is difficult to figure out."

After hearing this, the second uncle thought for a while and said:
"If I remember correctly, Madi seemed to have said that the outbreak of the virus originated from an extraterrestrial meteorite. They used this meteorite to extract a drug that could treat cancer. Later, the injection of the drug caused a zombie outbreak."

"Is it possible that if we find this meteorite, we can find a solution to the zombie virus?"

Li Yu nodded and said:

"It's possible, but Ma Di said that this piece of Tianwaiyu may have been taken away by people sent by the government, or taken away by the Western Alliance. Another possibility is that it is still in the original pharmaceutical company.

But after the end of the world, the government collapsed. I have been to the Western Alliance before, and there was no whereabouts of meteorites there.

The pharmaceutical company is in M ​​City, and I don’t know what that place is like anymore.

Moreover, after the end of the world, there will be so much chaos. Who knows where that stone fell? It’s hard to find it.”

He knew very well that until he was reborn two years later, the rumored meteorite had not yet fallen.

Looking for it now is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the chance of finding it is slim.

Hearing what Li Yu said, the second uncle sighed with some disappointment and said:
"Take your time, you can always find it. Even if you can't find it, as long as you keep researching, you will one day be able to develop a potion to deal with zombies."

"Yes." Li Yu nodded silently and did not continue to answer.

Some things can only be done according to fate.

Coming down from the duty room, Li Yu came to the first outer city.

After nearly two months of recovery, the wounds of He Chao and Gongsun Jing had already healed.

"How is it? Is the injury completely healed?" Li Yu looked at He Chao and asked, with a faint smile on his face.

When He Chao heard what Li Yu said, he lay down on the ground and did more than twenty push-ups, finishing them in one breath.

After finishing it, he said breathlessly: "Mr. Li, there is no problem at all. You see, I can do it as I please!"

Li Yu said with a smile: "Okay, stop croaking. Now that you are better, you have to take over the affairs in the outer city."

"Okay, hehe." He Chao had a simple smile on his face.

During the time when He Chao was injured, the second uncle had been managing the outer city, but the second uncle also had to manage the affairs in the inner city, such as planting, breeding, factories and other trivial matters. He was extremely busy. .

Now that He Chao has returned, he can also reduce the burden on his second uncle.

When leaving the First Outer City, Li Yu passed by the greenhouse and saw the imperial concubine walking from the greenhouse to the door.

In the heavy rain, the imperial concubine seemed to be holding an iron basin to fill the water. Seeing Li Yu wave quickly, Li Yu also extended his hand in response, and then returned to the inner city.

Back in the inner city, Li Yu looked through the list of supplies in the warehouse of Da Zhangshu Base that Li Yuan had brought over.

Rice: 978 tons.

Corn cobs: 356 tons.

Salt: 59 tons.

Sugar: 45 tons.

After taking a rough look, he had an idea. Whenever he saw these supplies, he would feel full of happiness.

He survived the most difficult days, so when he saw the warehouse full of supplies, he no longer worried about starving to death.

This feeling may be felt by many collaborators.

Looking at the pouring rain outside, Li Yu put down the iPad in his hand and murmured to himself: "This rain, count the days, it should be almost over."

Heavy rains continued for more than a month, and the drainage system in the base was perfect, so no waterlogging occurred.

But if they go out and look outside, they will find that many low-lying areas have long been turned into lakes.

Even some national highways were flooded by rainwater, with fallen trees floating on the water.

Occasionally, one or two frogs would jump on the wood and wait. Suddenly, a pair of hands would reach out from the bottom of the water, grab the frog, and stuff it into his mouth.

The end of the world will be a terrible disaster for both humans and animals.

In Wuyi Mountain.

His legs were weak and he said to Chen Delong:
"I said Brother Chen, let's kill this squirrel. If we don't kill it, there won't be much meat left. Look at it, it's already lost weight."

An Sheng stared at the squirrel with green eyes.

Even Zhuo Jun licked his lips and swallowed with a gulp.

When Chen Delong saw them like this, he stood up, walked to the bag with grain, and picked it up.

Easy.

Eight pounds at most!
and a sixth piece of smoked black pork.

This food is their last life-saving food. They are still waiting for the rain to end, and then eat a relatively full meal. While they still have strength, they will try their best to return to the Da Zhangshu base.

They still have some food stored in the base, and they can survive as long as they go back!Won't starve to death.

The task that originally only took two weeks to complete at most has been delayed to nearly two months.

The key is that they found the supplies, but they didn't transport them back. Even if they didn't transport them back, they still lost so many team members.

Even if they lost so many team members, they still don't know if the remaining four people can go back.

The more I think about it, the more aggrieved I get.

"Eat, eat, eat! Such a small squirrel weighs less than a pound and can barely fit between the teeth." Chen Delong said.

When Legs heard this, his face turned into a smile. He quickly stood up, picked up the wood next to him, and knocked the hungry squirrel to death with a stick.

Jiji.

boom!
The squirrel died.

Legs threw the furry squirrel into the fire.

"What are you doing? Don't you want to pluck your hair? How can you eat like this?" An Sheng asked somewhat tactfully.

"You don't understand. If you don't know how to eat it, wouldn't it be faster to burn these hairs with fire and then wash them with rainwater?" Legs said.

After saying that, he looked towards the pine tree.

Several people next to him also cast their gaze over.

Four men gathered around a fire, watching the squirrel carefully.

"Okay, if you burn it any more, it will be burnt." Chen Delong said quickly when he saw that the squirrel's fur was burned clean by the flames.

Legs quickly picked out the squirrel with a branch.

It was dark and the hair was curled up.

He carried his legs with two sticks and went outside to wash them with rainwater.

Then he took it back and cut the meat with a knife and processed it.

Bake on fire.

The fire was strong, and the squirrel was small.

This squirrel was roasted in 10 minutes.

Legs handed the roasted squirrel to Chen Delong and asked him to share it.

"Wait a minute, let me add some salt. I changed it from the base last time. This must be salted." Chen Delong said quickly.

After that, he sprinkled some salt on it and divided it into four pieces.

About the same size.

The four of them picked up the roasted squirrel and ate it wildly. There was not much meat at all.

But they ate very deliciously. No one spit out the bones. They kept the bones in their mouths, biting and chewing them slowly.

Can't bite?Then bite slowly.

What they have most now is time!
Not even the bones were left in what they ate.

Although I wasn't full, I had something in my stomach and felt a lot better.

After eating, they continued to sleep on the simple wooden bed.

But they didn't notice that the heavy rain outside seemed to be getting lighter.

Lightning also occurs less frequently.

In a few days...

Big camphor tree base.

Li Yu listened to the rain outside, changing from pattering to pattering.

From heavy rain to moderate rain.

From moderate rain to light rain.

"This rain is finally over." Li Yu said to himself, looking at the sky that didn't seem so dark.

Other people in the base also noticed this situation and were a little excited.

Some people even ran out of the house and ran outside in the light rain to have fun.

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed slowly, very slowly.

It was still night, but after the dark clouds dispersed a bit, the sky was not so dark anymore.

In the base, whether in the inner city or the outer city, some people's voices came from:
"The rain is going to stop! It's going to stop!"

"Great, it's been raining for so long, I'm almost going moldy."

"It hasn't stopped yet. Didn't you see it's still raining?"

"Isn't it raining? The rain will probably stop completely by tomorrow at most."

"It's good to stop, it's good to stop. You have to go out and do the mission quickly. If you don't do the mission, the food reserves will be used up."

"It can't be that fast. It's been raining for so long. It's probably flooded outside. Why don't you go out and row a boat to do the task?"

"Yeah"

an hour later.

The light rain turned into a steady drizzle.

At last.

Stopped!

The dark clouds gradually dispersed.

Without the cover of dark clouds, the sky is revealed.

Coupled with the heavy rain for so long, all the dust particles in the air have been washed away, making the air very fresh.

The sky, which has been washed for a month, is so clean that it seems impossibly clean.

Looking at the sky, many people saw the most beautiful sky in their lives.

They swore that this was the most beautiful scene they had ever seen in their lives.

aurora.

Dreamlike Aurora.

The aurora is like a delicate painting dotting the night sky.

Another example is an ancient dragon, hovering in the dark night sky. Its tail is so colorful that the entire night sky shines.

It is an unparalleled beauty that makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

The colors of the aurora are like a carefully woven dream, with green bands of light moving through the night sky.

Its shape is also ever-changing.Sometimes it is like a colorful streamer, fluttering gently; sometimes it is like a burning flame, lighting up the entire sky; sometimes it is like a huge picture.

Intoxicating and mesmerizing.

And since the heavy rain stopped, there was no lightning or thunder.

Quiet.

When the aurora appears, the whole world becomes quiet, with only the sound of the aurora blooming in the night sky.

It was a beautiful sound that made people feel extremely comfortable and peaceful.

It was a sound that cannot be described in words.

Everyone was shocked by this beautiful scenery.

Even Li Yu, who had seen it in his previous life, was shocked again by this aurora.

The first outer city, in the greenhouse.

The imperial concubine who was sleeping in the greenhouse was pulled up by Xiaoye.

"Quick, quick, quick, Sister Guifei, come out and take a look!"

The imperial concubine was obviously a little confused. She stood up and swept towards the greenhouse. There were only a few dozen people, and they also ran outside the greenhouse.

"What happened?" the imperial concubine asked.

Xiaoye's face was excited and he said excitedly: "Hurry up, the aurora will be invisible soon. Come out and have a look."

The imperial concubine's face was startled, isn't it? The Da Zhangshu Base is at a low latitude. How could there be an aurora at a low latitude?

But she wasn't sure. After all, aurora might appear at low latitudes under certain conditions.

She is not very good at geography.

Simply go out and take a look.

Running out in a hurry, she was immediately stunned.

It is like a dream, as if you are in a dream.

Her mouth was open, her eyes were round, and she looked shocked.

Various exclamations came from around:
"Really beautiful!"

"So beautiful."

"nice."

"Do you really have no culture at all? Apart from these few words, do you have nothing else? Damn it. Damn it. That beam of light moved me."

"You're so fucking good at it!"

"Fuck!"

At this moment, people inside and outside the base came out and watched this beautiful scene quietly.

At this moment, time seems to stop.

The sound of silence.It is an oxymoron.

But it seems that only silence can describe this feeling.

A thought of eternity, as if the river of time stopped flowing at this moment.

Maybe a few minutes, maybe a few 10 minutes.

The aurora slowly disappeared into the horizon.

Everyone was left in silence.

This scene brought them great spiritual shock.

This scene cleared away the haze of consecutive days of heavy rain.
Let them cherish the vision of a better life in the future and have the motivation to persevere.

But Li Yu knew that this was just the beginning of another natural disaster.

The beginning of intense solar radiation!
This is not a beautiful beginning, but the end of a natural disaster and the beginning of another suffering.

In strong solar radiation, the temperature only rises. The key is the vicious solar radiation. If a person is exposed to the sun, his skin will feel like being burned.

Everything in the world may have its own reasons and laws.

This heavy rain covered up the increase in solar activity.

The increase in solar activity has caused the coronal hole in the solar atmosphere to form a hollow area with a thinner material density in the sun's magnetic field, causing more solar wind to escape from the outer layer of the sun than usual.

Thus forming an aurora!

The flow of charged particles impacts the Earth's magnetosphere, causing a period of interruption in radio signals.

At the same time, solar activity enhances solar radiation, leading to subsequent solar radiation disasters.

"Oh, in two hours, it will be dawn, the sun is going to come out! Damn it! Why is there no end!" Li Yu cursed in his heart.
