Chapter 597 The night recedes and the light comes
The snow stopped.
It seemed like a sign.
The zombie's movement speed also slowed down a bit, but in the darkness, they still rushed towards the wall.
Big camphor tree base.
The people who were used to the rhythm of the battle were not as frightened by the zombie tide as they were at first, but they still felt a little tired from fighting the zombies every day.
So, after discussions with Li Yu, the second uncle and others, it was decided to let non-staff personnel also come to the wall to stop the zombies.
There were more than a hundred of these non-staff personnel. Li Yu did not let them all go up to the fence, but divided them into three groups.
More than 30 people in each group were scattered among the ten blocking teams on the wall.
People like Zuo Ruxue, Xiao Hu, Guo Peng, Li Qi, Zhu Xiao and others came to the fence and were a little surprised to see so many zombies outside the fence.
These days, they heard the roar of zombies coming from outside, but they could only hear the sound, but they couldn't see how many there were. At this time, they finally saw it.
Seeing so many zombies, they couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, they entered the Da Zhangshu Base. Otherwise, with so many zombies, they would have been completely dead outside.
The joining of these people is like a flood of living water, which relieves their pressure a lot.
After the snow stopped, the temperature did not get warmer.
The weather in September is still bitingly cold.
More than half of the trees outside the wall have disappeared, most of which were caused by the flames and burning caused when they attacked the zombies.
Outside the wall, the trees were still crackling and burning, and the zombies below were still roaring.
Time passed bit by bit.
Three days later.
The sky that had been dark for a month was finally no longer so dark.
It's like half an hour after the sun goes down. Although I still can't see clearly, at least I can't see my fingers in the dark.
Everyone who saw this scene was very excited. Although this was just the beginning, for them, it was a harbinger of victory.
They haven't seen the sun for a long time, but they really want to see the sun at this time.
Sunshine represents hope.
September 15th.
A strong wind began to blow.
In the strong wind, Li Yu and others on the wall were shaken by the wind, and they had to hold on to some objects around them to prevent them from being blown away by the wind.
The same goes for the zombies under the wall. They were blown away by the wind and could not stack up too high.
In the temperature of more than ten degrees below zero and the windy weather, the body's temperature changes rapidly.
In recent days, they have been fighting zombies in the cold weather.
Seven or eight people had colds. Fortunately, there were doctors and medicines at the base, so there was no attrition.
Now in the base, in addition to children under 14 years old, there are also elderly people over 65 years old.
In addition to the people responsible for planting and breeding, cooking, and the medical team, everyone else basically comes to the wall to fight the zombies.
Twelve o'clock in the evening.
Li Yu carried the gun and walked to the duty room at the gate.
Just then I saw Aunt Zhou, holding the meal that had been prepared and placing it on the table.
When Aunt Zhou saw Li Yu, she quickly said to Li Yu: "Mr. Li, eat it while it's hot. I just made it."
Li Yu looked at Aunt Zhou who also looked tired, nodded and said, "Aunt Zhou, you should take a rest when you have time."
Aunt Zhou not only has to cook, but also has to deliver food to them.
The key is now twenty-four hours a day. There is no day or night, so I can only cook for them on a rotating schedule.
Four meals a day.
In fact, the workload is also very large.
Aunt Zhou looked at Li Yu and said, "No, no, at least we don't have to face zombies, but you, alas."
Li Yu took the food and looked at a person outside the duty room.
Zhu Xiao.
A humanoid beast over two meters tall.
It has helped him a lot these days.
He walked outside and shouted to Zhu Xiao: "Zhu Xiao, come over and have a rest and have something to eat."
Zhu Xiao has never had a full meal since the zombie outbreak. He has a large appetite. In the past, he would only eat half full every time he ate, and sometimes he would not even be half full.
But since they came to the wall to stop the zombies together, Li Yu gave them food and asked them to eat the same meal together.
This is a good job for Zhu Xiao.
It's just fighting zombies, but it's not like I haven't beaten them before.
He hadn't eaten such a delicious meal for more than a year, which made him very excited when he had the first meal at the camphor tree base a few days ago.
At that time, he completely killed the appetite of three people.
Although he eats a lot, his combat effectiveness is also very good.
It can hold a heavy machine gun and output continuously without rest.
What Zhu Xiao took was a huge washbasin, and eating with this washbasin was enjoyable enough.
Today I ate lettuce, fried lamb with green onions, and some tofu.
These home-cooked dishes before the apocalypse have become luxury items in this apocalypse.
Zhu Xiao's happiest day now is when he eats.
Although he looked mighty and mighty, Li Yu clearly felt that he had a different personality from the outside after getting along with him during this period of time.
Zhu Xiao was very happy, rushed into the duty room, rubbed his hands, said "thank you" to Aunt Zhou, and then started to eat sullenly.
Now the daily physical exertion is very heavy, so naturally Li Yu will not treat them badly in terms of food.
Therefore, the food is enough, let them eat freely.
Days of fighting against zombies have also deepened the understanding between these non-staff personnel and other people in the base, and they have become more familiar with each other.
Orange Island Head.
Everyone looked as if they were going to fall down in the next second.
So many zombies, constantly depleting their numbers.
There are now less than seventy people in the entire base.
"The snow has stopped." Hai Chao stretched out his hand and put it in the air.
Baozi slowly raised his head and looked at the sky, then lowered his head and saw that the zombies were slowing down a bit.
With mixed feelings in my heart, I shouted to everyone: "Brothers, we will win soon! Keep holding on!"
There is no victory at this point, but the cessation of snow will give people a sense of hope.
Human beings are never afraid of difficulties, but of losing hope.
Such long continuous dark nights, acid rain, and blizzards have already overwhelmed their bodies and minds.
Right now, it's like the night before dawn.
And just as they expected, after the snow stopped, the sky became brighter and brighter these days. Although there was strong wind, this was already great good news compared with the gradually brightening sky.
The sky is getting brighter every day.
The volcanic ash floating in the air seems to have been condensing with water vapor in the past few days, and has been decreasing after falling snowflakes.
Western Conference.
Their casualties were heavy. Each force lost more than two-thirds of their personnel, and all their ammunition was basically consumed.
The Gan family's losses were slightly better, but not much better.
The population of the entire Western Conference dropped directly from the original five digits to four digits.
The more populated a place is, the greater the impact of zombies will be.
What they faced was not hundreds of thousands of zombies, but millions or more.
This time in the Western Alliance, zombies broke in twice. There were not many zombies. They almost climbed into the wall and were immediately eliminated by Gan Xiong and the others.
After suffering heavy losses, they finally waited until the snow stopped on this day.
After the snow stopped, the sky became less dark.
Cheers. resounded throughout the sky.
There is no need to worry anymore. Shouting too loudly will attract zombies. There are already so many zombies outside the wall. How can there be more zombies than there are now?
Waiting, waiting.
Everyone is full of hope, waiting to finally see the light.
It’s not just that after the sunshine comes, the zombies may leave.
But the longing for sunshine deep in my heart and body.
Seven days later.
The wind is still very strong.
But now the sky is much brighter.
at noon.
Even at noon during the day, the sunlight could not penetrate this heavy layer of clouds, and could only barely shine through some faint light.
Bright and bright.
The mist rose from the ground, forming a veil-like mist, shrouding the entire land in a hazy mist.
In this dim light, only the faint outlines of the distant mountains could be seen, as if shrouded in soft light.
The temperature also rose by two or three degrees.
The temperature rise is so subtle that most people don't feel it.
But the sky grew brighter every day, inspiring them that victory was coming.
…
Half a month later.
The sky becomes brighter, like in the evening or morning light.
By 12 o'clock at noon, the illumination of the setting sun in the evening has reached a level similar to that of the setting sun.
It was also at this time that the zombie tide began to recede.
Bustling with zombies, no more climbing the walls.
Under the light, they could see that the zombies' skin was extremely pale.
Especially at twelve o'clock at noon, the sun shines through the mist on the zombies' skin, and you can see that the skin of some zombies seems to be burned and smoking.
The zombies are defeated!
Big camphor tree base.
Yutong watched the zombies slowly leave. In the faint sunshine, the zombies receded like the tide.
He muttered in his mouth: "Zombie, finally left!"
I don’t know who started first and cheered “Victory!”
What came randomly was a tsunami-like cheers.
The sound was so loud that it stopped those who were about to leave.
But the sunlight in the sky shines on them, making a squeaking sound.
Ho ho ho——
The zombies roared angrily at everyone on the wall.
Li Yu didn't stop everyone from shouting.
In this apocalyptic world, you must always be wary of the presence of zombies and be afraid of attracting their attention by making loud noises.
They have been suppressed for a long time.
These zombies are attracted to their voices even now.
But, so what?
After so many days here, are you still afraid of zombies crawling over again?
Moreover, it is getting brighter every day, and the weather is getting worse and worse for zombies.
After the zombies roared on the spot, they did not continue to return to the wall, but dispersed towards the national highway.
Still headed south.
"Oh oh oh oh oh!" the cannon shouted toward the sky.
It had been a long time since he had shouted so loudly.
The other people sitting next to him also shouted together.
Li Yu quietly looked at Yutong who was jumping excitedly, stepped forward and hugged her directly.
Yutong felt Li Yu's embrace and rested her head on Li Yu's chest.
"We won." Yutong murmured.
Li Yu heard her whisper and said with a smile: "Yes, we won."
Then he patted Yutong's head again, saw her face was dark, and said, "You're almost becoming a little cat."
Yutong didn't answer him, just leaned on his chest, listening to Li Yu's heartbeat quietly.
Li Tie put down the gun in his hand at will, then leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and felt the faint sunlight.
Thinking back on these days.
It's not easy for them. It's too difficult to endure in this long dark night.
There are many people who are more difficult than them.
In Xingshi.
Lu Kuan and others leaned against the window glass of the building.
The sun shone on his face, waking him up in a daze.
He looked at the red sun, as if he saw hope in his eyes.
"The sun is out! The zombies are gone!" he shouted to others next to him.
Ai Shan reacted the fastest. He rushed in from the outside and looked at the red sun outside the glass.
Weeping with joy.
"Finally, finally there is sunshine. Finally there is."
Immediately afterwards, others rushed to the glass window.
Look greedily at the sun.
Give it a good sun exposure, from the inside out.
These are souls and bodies that are about to mold.
Ai Shan stared at the sun for more than ten minutes, as if he wanted to see enough of it.
Staring at the sun all the time, will cry.
But Ai Shan saw that his eyes were full of tears, but he still looked at it.
It's not easy. It's not easy to see these suns.
How long ago did we see these suns?
Ten days, twenty days, a month, it seems like two or three months.
The feeling of being completely plunged into darkness can really drive a person crazy.
Orange Island Head.
When Haichao saw the zombies outside the wall leaving one after another, he collapsed on the ground without any image, breathing heavily.
They finally survived.
There are only 68 people in the entire base now.
The losses were extremely heavy!
"Baozi, give me a drink of water." Hai Chao said to Baozi who was also lying on the ground next to him.
Baozi picked up a half-filled bottle of water from the ground and handed it to Hai Chao.
Haichao's hair was tangled, he took a drink of water and took a big drink.
Baozi felt that his body was no longer his own, and he couldn't gain any energy after relaxing.
"It's so comfortable. What a sun." Baozi said.
Haichao grinned and said to Baozi, "Yeah, I finally got over it."
The two laughed and laughed and cried again.
It's not easy.
There are more than 300 people, and now there are only 68 people left.
After the zombies receded, almost no one was standing anymore. They were all sitting or lying on the ground.
Panting heavily, he looked at the hazy sun in the sky.
The next time, after the zombies left.
The sky is getting brighter every day.
…
…
Finally after a month.
October.
Blue and white clouds, as clear as a wash.
The sky is as clean as a mirror.
The temperature also rose to minus five degrees.
Human beings are like beasts that have been injured, licking their wounds in the sun.
The night finally passed.
Humans finally survived.
