Li Yu heard Yutong say this and couldn't directly admit that he stayed late on the wall because he wanted to accompany her.
He wanted to wait here for a while, to see if the heavy rain would start today, the nineteenth, just like in his mory.
He rembered very clearly, the last life, it started raining heavily around three in the morning on the nineteenth, but at that ti, he was in the northern city.
Not sure when the heavy rain will start here in Xin City in this life.
After all, the location is different.
Heavy rain and flood bursts didn't happen at the sa ti. It first rained heavily for several days, then suddenly one day, dozens of ters high floodwaters rushed in.
Whenever sothing was about to happen, Li Yu acted not much different from usual, but inside, he was extrely tense.
Afraid it would be different from the last life, yet afraid it would be the sa.
When the flood ca in the last life, he was just in that tall building, but not at the top floor, instead on the ninth floor.
During Doomsday, without electricity, climbing up and down was very troubleso.
The eighth or ninth-floor position was just far enough from the ground to not easily attract zombies, and it was also more convenient to go down and search for supplies during the day.
When the heavy rain hit, the water level rose very slowly.
The flood burst occurred at three thirty in the afternoon.
He felt the building slightly shaking, and when he noticed the flood coming, it was already a bit late.
Desperately, he rolled up his bedding and dashed upstairs.
In 30 seconds, he climbed six floors up to the fifteenth floor, about 40 ters high, when the flood rushed in.
The flood brought along zombies, with a few directly swept into the building.
Holding his breath, he swam five more stories upward in the water, almost bitten by a water zombie, narrowly avoiding infection by using his backpack as a shield.
He didn't know how high the flood was, but at that mont, he knew that only by running up continuously could he have a chance to survive.
He survived!
As he swam upward to the twentieth floor, gasping, he gazed at the water's surface, that feeling of near suffocation, that relief of narrowly escaping death.
While watching, he laughed, then after a few seconds, his face beca expressionless.
Ascending again, he didn't know if there would be another wave of flood, plus zombies could survive in water, so he could only keep climbing.
He went all the way to the top floor, then set up various blockades in the central hallway, closing the hydraulic door to the top floor, only then did he relax.
But upon reaching the top floor, what he saw was the entire city subrged.
Terrifying water zombies bobbing up like ants on the water surface.
........
This scene kept replaying in his mind these days.
This scene ranked among the most shocking monts he had ever seen.
In the duty room, there were also two sets of simple bunk beds.
During shifts, it was common for several people to be on duty at once, inevitably leading to drowsiness. Instead of forcing them not to rest, it's better to have small breaks individually.
Each person took turns resting for ten minutes, half an hour like that.
Li Yu wasn't sleepy; he couldn't calm his mind anyway.
He was deeply worried, worried that the flood would have a devastating impact on Big Camphor Tree Base this ti.
If calculated purely on elevation, Xin City was over a hundred ters higher on average than the city he was in during the last life.
Moreover, Big Camphor Tree Base itself was located in a relatively high area, so if asured by elevation, there shouldn't be any issues.
However, the key is, because Xin City is mountainous terrain, not flowing through plains, naturally the waterline would increase significantly.
"I'm going for a walk!" Li Yu felt a bit anxious but didn't want to show it, so he stood up and said to Yutong.
"Do you want to co with you?" Yutong asked.
"No need, I'm just going out for a smoke." Li Yu waved his hand, letting her know not to follow.
Walking out from the duty room, he saw Li Gang standing by the wall outside the duty room with binoculars, looking at the spot lit by searchlights.
This distant spotlight is focused and can illuminate hundreds of ters away.
"What did you see?" Li Yu said to Li Gang.
Li Gang put down the binoculars, handed them to Li Yu, and said, "I saw a wild pheasant on that slope."
"Pheasant?" Li Yu used the binoculars to look over there and indeed spotted two long tail feathers.
A normal pheasant with such plumage is usually a male pheasant.
"Check the surroundings; have Li Zhengping co out to join you. Ensure there's always more than two people outside the duty room, now it's no longer as cold as it was recently." Li Yu said.
"Alright." Li Gang nodded, then headed towards the duty room.
Li Yu maneuvered the searchlights fixed on the wall, scanning left and right, seeing no movent.
Soon.
He noticed Li Gang, Li Zhengping, Yutong, and several others had co out, so he walked along the wall.
He wanted to walk alone for a bit.
Lamps were installed on the side of the wall at intervals of two or thirty ters; the light was not very bright, but enough to let one see the road on the wall.
Click——
Li Yu lit a cigarette with a lighter, inhaling deeply.
Then exhaling slowly, letting the wind scatter the smoke he exhaled.
In that mont, he felt an instant serenity in his head.
A slight dizzy feeling quickly dissipated.
As if all worries and anxiety had subsided a lot in this mont.
He strode forward, walking alone on the wall.
But after walking less than a minute, he encountered patrolling Deng Ben and Lao Xie; though they were puzzled at Li Yu walking alone on the wall, they didn't ask anything but greeted him and continued patrolling.
Walking for another two minutes, he reached another duty room, outside stood Ding Qingqing's sister Ding Weiwei, Song Min, and the optimistic Xiao Han.
All three were outside the duty room, standing scattered.
"Director Li."
"Director Li."
"Director Li."
As Li Yu walked past them, the three looked at him with respect.
He nodded slightly, then continued walking; he would walk around the wall once a day, today was his third round.
He walked for so distance and t Xiao Wu, the forr officer with Old Lv.
"Good day, Director Li."
"Any situation?" Li Yu asked.
Xiao Wu held a flashlight, carrying a gun, and said to Li Yu, "No."
"Okay." Li Yu patted his shoulder.
Usually, in each duty room, a few people are assigned.
But it doesn't an they stay in the duty room all the ti; the room is just a resting place, most of their ti is spent on the wall, patrolling around the duty room within about 100 ters back and forth.
In such circumstances, combined with irregularly tid patrol personnel, wall security could reach its highest level.
Li Yu turned most of the way around and arrived at the duty room by the cliff, seeing Yang Tianlong and He Chao and others.
Li Yu stood on the wall towards the cliff, looking at the distant pine trees chopped down by Lao Xie and others a few days ago, revealing the nearby cliff.
The slightly elevated hills on both sides encircling the cliff, and below the cliff, lower forested mountains lay.
In daylight, the view here was actually wonderful, plus being near the cliff, there were hardly any zombies appearing, so many in the base liked to be on duty here.
The quiet night lacked frog croaks, even insect noises were barely heard.
Li Yu turned around back to the front gate duty room, seeing about a dozen zombies along the way, inconspicuous in the night.
Night deepened.
The storm's arrival impending...
