August 10th, still scorching hot.
The drought and heat had withered and killed many trees.
In the base, these fruit trees on the mountain would have probably died too,
if it weren't for Li Yu and so people slightly watering them a few tis.
However, so trees by the Mountain Pond were doing quite well.
The water in Mountain Pond was only one third left.
According to Li Yu's rebirth mories, it should rain in about two weeks. Everything will be different then.
But others still don't know; for many of them, it's the first ti in their lives seeing such long periods without rain, filling their hearts with despair.
In the base, fortunately, there are two wells, thanks to which, built before the apocalypse started, it was quite a hassle to drill these wells.
Logically, since they are at the foothills and surrounded by forests, so people's wells are only a few ters deep to hit water, so in Southern plains, most wells are typically around ten ters deep.
The well water is particularly good, warm in winter and cool in sumr; many village wells are quite good.
But, Li Yu insisted on hiring a professional well-drilling team, using professional drilling machinery, and drilled over a hundred ters deep, which are considered deep wells.
Normally, wells ranging from ten to sixty ters are considered shallow wells.
Now, the two wells Li Yu has built are considered deep wells.
The long periods of drought in the apocalypse caused many rivers to run dry, however, deeper underground, there still is so water.
But in most places in the Southern region, wells are generally around ten ters deep, at most thirty ters, which are considered very deep already.
The deeper the well, the harder it is to construct, this hundred ters deep well required professional equipnt to be drilled.
In the base, everyone had been resting for a long ti, not exactly resting, but compared to the previous months, where every day was spent resisting zombies, improving the base, and fighting with people.
The current state of life is considered resting.
Except for the young Li Suxin, the nine-year-old Xuanxuan, and a few other young children from uncle and aunt's families, who still need to continue their studies, but without subjects like English.
Nine years of compulsory education are essential, being illiterate, not understanding so of the most basic things, sotis, learning is not just knowledge, sotis it's about learning thoughts, so cognitions.
These things enrich a person's thoughts, supporting soone to bravely do things.
The way of viewing the world, the way of solving problems, will undergo different changes.
Of course, what they are learning now differs from pre-apocalyptic content, currently studying things that better suit the apocalyptic environnt.
For instance, there are teachings on how to combat zombies, thods to dispose of zombies, and practical courses.
There are also other more pragmatic subjects like how to grow crops, among other practical courses.
These courses are taught collectively, such as Martial Arts taught by Third Uncle and Li Yu, shooting courses mainly by Li Tie and Dapao.
Course like farming and breeding, Grandpa would narrate in the simplest words alongside Uncle Lai, and other subjects are taught by various people.
However, academic subjects are mainly taught by Lai Xiyue.
Furthermore, other people also need improvent; thus, the base regularly organizes activities to facilitate interaction among everyone.
Enhancing everyone's shooting and combat skills.
....
Li Yu, having more free ti recently, had more chances to interact with Yutong.
Actually, it was mainly Yutong often coming to find him, sotis accompanied by Yang Xiaozhu.
Yutong also frequently sparred with Li Yu but often got beaten badly by him.
Yang Xiaozhu also occasionally joined the fun, leaving Li Yu feeling quite desperate.
Both won were quite admirable, with distinct differences.
Yang Xiaozhu had more of a girl-next-door vibe, with a pretty face and a hint of baby fat.
When she smiled, her big eyes twinkled, reminiscent of the animated character Asuna.
Du Yutong, on the other hand, exhibited a mature allure, yet she was exceptionally gentle in front of Li Yu. She was slim due to frequent exercise,
her sportswear concealed her figure, but the occasional movents offered breathtaking glimpses.
Both were tall, one standing at 165 cm and the other at 175 cm. Standing together, they each had their own charm.
Li Yu's head ached slightly. Yang Xiaozhu had grown up following him and Li Hang around, just like Yang Tianlong. He had watched her grow up.
He hadn't expected her to blossom so beautifully as she grew up.
Du Yutong had always been on good terms with him; he highly admired her strength externally and her soft heart internally, a genuinely kind person.
Moreover, both her EQ and IQ were high, and she was also a strong fighter. Most importantly, after eting her in the post-apocalyptic world,
during their trips outside, Li Yu often didn't need to speak; a simple glance was enough for Yutong to understand his thoughts, which sotis moved him deeply.
Apart from Yang Xiaozhu and Yutong, during their school days, Lai Xiyue also had a subtle interest in him. But Lai Xiyue was gentle, possessing intellectual beauty and a strong scholarly aura.
Ah....
Thinking this, Li Yu felt overwheld.
Watching Yutong and Xiaozhu practicing together in the sweltering weather, sweating profusely in the dueling arena,
their sportswear clinging to them.
Damn it
During a recent battle with Yang Xiaozhu, she had resorted to cheeky tactics.
…
These two formidable challenges weighed heavily on him, sothing that Li Yu found unbearable.
Life was filled with difficulties, and he needed to keep going.
Which was already a challenge.
At the core strategic point, he felt utterly suppressed by these overwhelming challenges.
Like the grass that refuses to succumb to the world, even in the narrowest spaces, it strives upward, growing towards a broader world.
In that mont, Li Yu felt the world's malice towards him.
The world always imposed many limitations, tightly bounding people.
But, he had an unyielding spirit and was determined to break free and rise.
Yang Xiaozhu, naïve and romantic, though she was no longer young, pouted with her adorable face and said to Li Yu, "Brother Yu, I can fight too, take with you next ti."
After speaking, the challenges seed to intensify with her words.
Shaking with difficulty.
Li Yu felt sad.
He was just one person, just a blade of grass, though this blade of grass had already grown.
Now, beneath the two shaking mountains, the constraints tightened even more.
He desperately wanted to escape, but couldn't.
