Li Yu walked casually and soon arrived around the garden, where Xiao Latai was playing cards with Li Hang and others at the long stone table by the garden.
Li Yu approached and saw Li Hang's face plastered with little paper notes, laughing he said, "Xiao Hang, are you that bad?"
"Brother, co, help out." Li Hang quickly moved his seat, and Li Tie, sitting across from Xiao Hang, said, "Calling for reinforcents, haha."
Xiao Latai lifted her head, saw Li Yu, and had adapted quite well during this ti, smiling more often. There were many young people at the base, and in such a friendly atmosphere, everyone got along quite pleasantly.
However, occasionally she had to go on duty at the surrounding wall, and seeing zombies awakened her to the reality of living in a post-apocalyptic world.
Li Yu faced Xiao Latai, who was looking at him with bright eyes, a smile erged on his face, he shook his head, then turned to Li Hang and said, "You guys play, I'm not playing anymore. I'm going to walk around the mountaintop."
He then turned and left the garden.
Behind him, Xiao Latai, sensing that Li Yu might be preoccupied with sothing, also handed her cards to the young girl squatting behind her and watching the ga. This girl, who had been optimistic and was previously next to Song Min, had been itching to play and was now grinning broadly as she finally got the chance to participate.
Xiao Latai quickly walked a few steps to catch up with Li Yu, walking side by side.
Li Yu heard footsteps, turned his head to see Xiao Latai following him, then turned his head back without saying a word.
"What's up? You seem to be preoccupied?" Xiao Latai asked softly.
Li Yu slowed his pace, looking in the direction of the sky, where the sun seed to be obscured by dark clouds, making the sky less bright. He slowly said, "I'm a bit worried about Third Uncle and the others. It's partly about the people, but also about the weather."
"The weather? What's with the weather?" Xiao Latai also looked up and saw the sun being covered by clouds, but the cloud was not very large and would soon dissipate.
"The sun was quite strong recently, and it's starting to heat up. Grandpa said it might rain in a few days." Li Yu said, in this current world without weather forecasts, but the old farrs, who have fard all their lives, have a grasp of the weather even more accurate than the forecasts.
"It might rain..." Xiao Latai murmured, seemingly reminded of so unpleasant mories. Rain ans zombies would beco more active, as many that hide in mountain valleys or cool places would co out.
Even, continuous heavy rain could potentially lead to a Zombie Tide, a terrifying experience they all have witnessed.
"Third Uncle and Uncle are quite steady, they will be cautious. Moreover, they have taken a lot of food and weapons, they should be alright," reassured Xiao Latai.
Li Yu turned to look at Xiao Latai beside him, or rather, Du Yutong.
The clouds above cleared with the wind, and the sunlight poured down, making Li Yu notice how Xiao Latai seed to glow under the light.
He had never before noticed Xiao Latai's good figure—long legs, big hips, large chest, and a slim waist.
A typical pear-shaped figure, only with slender calves.
Feeling Li Yu's gaze, Xiao Latai imdiately turned her head, noticing where Li Yu's eyes were directed.
Li Yu quickly turned his head back and continued walking up the mountain to check the weather.
Xiao Latai felt a bit proud but also amused, seeing Li Yu taking a few steps then stopping to wait for her, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted.
.....
anwhile, Third Uncle and another person cautiously drove towards the County, intending not to enter the city but to find the tallest building on an essential path into the County for observation.
After their initial conversation while on the road, the two stopped talking altogether.
Soon, they found a good position at the edge of the city, where buildings were recently demolished in preparation for new construction, leaving a ss. However, behind those structures stood the Shangri-La Hotel, a ten-story building that, in this small County, was relatively tall.
Driving slowly from the back courtyard, they moved around to the rear of the compound and stopped in a decrepit parking lot.
After stopping the car, Uncle and Third Uncle did not get out imdiately and sat in the vehicle for about five minutes before disembarking. After carrying the food and weapons, Third Uncle looked around and saw no one.
Both then started running toward the upper floors; the building was large yet eerily quiet.
Upon reaching the second floor, the carpet was still soft, but bloodstains and filth seed to tell them about past events.
The two proceeded carefully, one ahead of the other. Suddenly, halfway up the stairs to the third floor, Third Uncle at the front abruptly stopped and gently tapped Uncle, who was looking behind.
Their gaze shifted to the third floor, where they saw a Zombie wandering.
Uncle signaled to Third Uncle with his eyes; Third Uncle nodded in agreent. There were no better buildings around, and a higher vantage point allowed a farther view.
They decided to head up.
Third Uncle moved swiftly like a ghost, rushing forward. Before the Zombie could react, he unsheathed a Dagger from his thigh and plunged it into the Zombie's head.
Slowly, Third Uncle laid the Zombie's body to the ground, signaled Uncle with his hand to follow, and then slipped into the third floor.
He promptly closed the door behind them.
"Let's clear it floor by floor. It's better than having trouble sneaking up later. Any thoughts?" Uncle spoke.
Third Uncle nodded; he agreed, preferring to deal with the Zombies now rather than encountering a horde when they needed to descend later.
The two of them cooperated, fetched a spear from the car, and began clearing the building of Zombies floor by floor.
On the fifth floor, just as Uncle kicked open a door, nearly 20 Zombies suddenly surged out. These Zombies had likely been confined there and hadn't co out before.
In a split-second, Uncle retreated quickly, wielding a Dagger in one hand and a spear in the other. He quickly dispatched the two initial Zombies that charged at him, agile and efficient.
On the other hand, Third Uncle, upon seeing the Zombies, did not retreat but charged forward like a panther.
As he ran, his slender spear pierced through the heads of the Zombies like a binding machine gone wild. Maintaining his speed, he instantly skewered four more Zombies through their skulls.
Six Zombies fell to the ground, all within just a few seconds.
The Zombies had no idea how formidable these two n were, instead charging at them even faster after seeing them.
