Poyang Lake, a group of people were busy blocking the broken wall, shivering in the frosty world.
The cold wind was bone-chilling.
This task was extrely arduous, as they had been working through continuous snowstorms for days.
Dongfeng and others braved the cold wind and flying snow, building a solid defense line with their bare hands. They kept digging through the snow, hauling materials, gradually perfecting the wall with their efforts.
The wall was made of large stones and heavy logs, stacked together to form a towering barrier.
Dongfeng and others used steel wires and ropes to bind these materials together, ensuring the wall's stability. They also nailed the wall to the ground with wooden stakes to prevent it from being blown over by the wind and snow.
Not only did they have to build the wall, but on the other side, they also had to guard against the invasion of zombies at any ti.
Because in the snowstorm, sunlight was refracted by the falling snow, and there was much less direct sunlight, so even in the dayti, many zombies ca out.
"Zombies are coming!" Old Niu, who had been keeping watch beside, shouted loudly at the people building the wall in the back.
Hearing this, Dongfeng imdiately stopped what he was doing and shouted to Old Niu and the others outside the wall: "Co in first, don't stay outside."
They cooperated seamlessly, quickly dropping what they were doing and running straight inside the wall.
It seed like it wasn't the first ti they were doing such a thing.
So skilled that it was heartbreaking.
Inside the wall, Dongfeng and others stood ready, holding spears, on the high platform within the wall, watching the zombies erging through the wind and snow.
The icy snow fell on his eyebrows, gradually lting due to his body heat, but because it was so cold outside, it froze again, clinging to his eyebrows.
Cold, very cold.
But they had to do this, because if they didn't, they wouldn't be able to sleep well at night, as zombies could enter through the broken gaps in the wall at any ti.
.....
Return through wind and snow.
Old Zhuang slowly went from a low fever to a high fever, his whole body burning, his skin red like a boiled shrimp.
"Cold, cold, cold!" Old Zhuang's teeth chattered as even though they had changed to another car, they dared not turn up the heater to save diesel, keeping it just around freezing point.
Seeing Old Zhuang in such discomfort, soone suggested: "How about turning up the air conditioning a bit?"
"Sigh, we did turn it up just now, but then Brother Zhuang said it was hot, cold and hot at the sa ti, this...."
Old Zhuang still had so awareness, slowly moving his lips to say, "It's fine, don't worry about , keep going, we'll talk when we're back at the base....."
Seeing Old Zhuang saying so, the one who suggested turning up the air conditioning said no more.
The road was too hard to navigate.
First, they got lost while descending the mountain from Sanshan Village, then after descending, the car got damaged. They managed to find a car that wasn't scrapped, only to find the snow blocked the path, making the road extrely difficult to drive on.
The lips of others in the car were sowhat purple from the cold; if they had known this would be the outco, they wouldn't have risked going out.
Bang, bang, bang—
The snow outside fiercely pounded the car window, making heavy knocking sounds.
In the blizzard, they dared not drive too fast, partly because they couldn't see far ahead, and partly because the road was slippery, making it easy to overturn the car with one careless move.
If they overturned or hit sothing again, they'd et their end here.
The people in the car were miserable, feeling both ntally and physically exhausted.
.......
Gan Hu and others, sowhat luckier, chose to retreat after exploring the distillery's situation.
Heading back to the Western Alliance dejectedly.
The blizzard wasn't kind to them either, as a large group attracted so zombie pursuits.
They dared not get out of the car, as doing so would easily allow zombies concealed by the snow to sneak attack them.
So far, they had lost contact with two cars, which were at the back.
They didn't know how long this snow would last, so they could only try to return to the Western Alliance as quickly as possible.
Even if they chose a shelter to camp at.
But the food would be eaten up, and once it was gone, there would only be one outco: death!
It was better to hurry back to the base while they still had energy and food.
This was a dangerous, return journey.
......
Big Camphor Tree Base.
Li Yu, after returning from the wall to the Inner City, suddenly felt a craving for hot pot.
In the Inner City, An Ya, Xiao Shi, and others were in the greenhouse, moving the crop seedlings inside.
Those unused greenhouses hadn't turned on the heating yet, so they didn't consu much electricity.
But as An Ya and the others processed the crops in the greenhouse, the electricity consumption would rise to a high level.
Li Yu wanted to have hot pot.
As the leader of the Big Camphor Tree Base, which he built with his own hands, there were certainly privileges.
Not to ntion, aside from the cafeteria's large kitchen, several villas in the central area of the Inner City had kitchens installed.
There were refrigerators, which always stored so food, so Li Yu and others could grab sothing whenever they were hungry.
Li Yu went to the Underground Plantation to pick so pea shoots, small bok choy, and so cucumbers.
