Chapter 690: Bamboo shoots spring up after the rain

After a violent storm, the sky turned blue and the scenery under the sun looked particularly clear.

Outside the big camphor tree base.

After the floods receded, the water level dropped, revealing a chaotic scene.

Many trees collapsed to the ground, with exposed roots and broken branches and leaves, ruthlessly destroyed by floods and strong winds.

They seemed like a group of fallen giants, losing their vitality and leaving only helpless bodies.

The tree trunks were broken and scattered everywhere, creating a messy scene.

After the flood, the land became muddy.

Silt covered the ground, giving it a heavy and difficult feeling.

It is viscous and cloudy enough to sink under one's footsteps.

The sludge exudes a putrid smell, which brings together the waste and death in the flood, making people feel suffocating and nauseating.

Some of the zombies were washed away by the floods, or looked for dark places to hide; others fell into the mud and struggled hard.

Their bodies were in tatters, their limbs were twisted and deformed, and the smell of blood and decay permeated the surroundings.

It let out a bloodthirsty and shrill howl, seeming to be struggling in endless pain.

Orange Island Head.

Puhua Tower.

Gan Hu saw that the flood was only a few meters away from them, and felt very happy in his heart.

"Bad, almost!" Gan Hu murmured.

The sky has cleared up, the water level of the flood has stopped rising, and the zombies have gone to the bottom of the water or other places to avoid the sun.

Gan Hu collapsed on the terrace on the top floor of the Puhua Building. The rainstorm had just ended and the ground was still wet, but he didn't care.

"Yao Zuo, we are still lucky!" Gan Hu laughed as he spoke.

Yao Zuo also had a smile on his lips, shook his head and squatted down: "When the flood recedes, we can leave, but there is a problem.

We are right on the edge of the Xiangjiang River, and the floods are so high that the car we parked under the building is probably scrapped. The cars around here are probably about the same. We may have to walk back to the Western Union. "

Gan Hu frowned and said, "Go back directly? I want to go to Gan City and find the person who killed my third brother."

Yao Zuo sighed and said: "Brother Hu, there are only so many of us now, and the food we carry is almost exhausted. If we don't go back, we may starve to death on the way. Besides, such a terrible rainstorm and flood , It is estimated that those people have long since disappeared."

Gan Hu was unwilling to give in. Although he was reckless, he was not a completely brainless person. These days, they were afraid that the heavy rain would keep falling, so they cut the daily food quota supply again and again, just to be able to sustain more. a period of time.

If they had allowed themselves to eat, they would have starved to death.

Gan Hu finally had no choice but to say, "I'll think about it again."

When Yao Zuo heard what he said, he already knew that Gan Hu had been persuaded, and he said that he wanted to think about it at this time just to save face.

He stopped talking.

The sun shines on the earth, giving a ray of warm light. In this weak sunlight, the shadows of the zombies gradually dissipated.

The people who survived the disaster greedily bathed in the sun and enjoyed its warmth and shine.

Sanqing Mountain.

Mountainside cabin.

After the rainstorm stopped, Xu Chengcai took Xiaoyong out of the hut.

The two of them have been staying in this place for a month, and they haven't seen much sunshine for a month. Bathing in the sunshine now makes them feel so wonderful.

From the mountain, there is still some rainwater, flowing here in a steady trickle, passing through the platform halfway up the mountain, and sliding onto the path down the mountain.

The path down the mountain was filled with sand, silt, and trees blown by the wind.

The green mountains were green, and Xu Chengcai looked at the steep mountain peak opposite. This mountain peak was like a ruler, sticking straight into the sky.

There are not many clouds in the sky, but there is a lot of white steaming mist halfway up the mountain. At a glance, it feels like you are in a fairyland.

Xu Chengcai looked towards the top of the mountain, but his mind was thinking about whether to leave here next.

Although I was lucky enough to find the warehouse in this hut, the food in the warehouse was limited after all. In this month's consumption alone, I had eaten a little more than one-third of the food.

You definitely can’t wait until these foods are finished before making plans.

Xu Chengcai looked at the still raging flood in the valley.

Without the sound of the violent storm, the roar of the flood was extremely loud and echoed in the valley.

In the past month, Xiaoyong has been using the knife with him every day, but due to the limited space in the hut, there are some moves that he cannot perform. Now that the heavy rain has stopped, you can take him to practice on this wide platform.

"Xiaoyong, go take out your knife and I'll teach you new moves." Xu Chengcai looked at Xiaoyong and said.

"That's great! I can finally learn something new." Xiaoyong was extremely excited. He thought learning swordsmanship was a very interesting thing.

But the fact is that his father often made him repeat, repeat, and repeat every day an action that seemed extremely simple to him.

He is so happy to be able to learn new moves now.

So he hurried back to the hut.

Lushan.

Mountain top.

The rainstorm is over, and raindrops are dripping from the eaves.

The bits and pieces of rain smashed the bluestone into a small puddle.

"Captain Dongfeng, have you thought about it? We don't have much food. When the flood recedes, we have to evacuate from here." Wan Bo looked at Dongfeng and said earnestly.

Dongfeng frowned, seemed to have made a very difficult decision, and then said:

"Okay, as soon as the flood recedes, we will go south, to the legendary camphor tree base. However, after we get nearby, we will observe for a while and don't rush over, in case we encounter someone like Old Dong, After running into that Orange Island, if it hadn't been for good luck, they wouldn't have been able to come out alive!"

Wan Bo looked at the white smoke in the distance with deep eyes, nodded and said: "Okay, listen to you."

Duijinger Xiaoerji, the base of the big camphor tree.

Li Yu gave everyone a day off to let them have a good rest.

also.

After this heavy rain and flood, or after every disaster, Li Yu will take stock of the damage to the base.

This time, of course, it was no surprise.

Let Dapao, Anya, Ershu and others inspect various places in the base and make statistics on the damage caused by the heavy rain in the base.

After half a day of review.

Li Yu held a small meeting in the main entrance duty room.

"Second uncle, you speak first." Li Yu looked at the second uncle sitting on the right side and said.

The second uncle did not open his notebook and said directly: "On my side, I mainly checked the situation outside the fence. Basically, the fence was not affected much. In the No. 3 duty room, the roof inside was leaking. Needs to be patched up."

"Okay, Anya, it's your turn." Li Yu turned his head and said to Anya.

Anya sat a little further in front of the stool and said: "In the greenhouse, two greenhouses have leaks and need to be repaired. In addition, in the mountain forests of the base, a lot of soil has washed down and nutrients have been lost. This will have a great impact on the future mountain forest vegetation. .

But there is also good news, that is, we can dig out a lot of the silt washed out, including outside the base, and fill it into greenhouses or in some base planting areas.

These sludges contain a large number of nutrients, including organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc. Very good for plant growth.”

Li Yu listened carefully to Anya's words, and after thinking for a while, he said to Anya: "Over there in the greenhouse, I will ask Ding Jiu and the others to come over and repair it later. Now that the heavy rain is over, we can start planting crops for the next season directly.

In addition, regarding the silt, I will arrange manpower to clean and collect the silt in the next two days. You will be there to help and fill the silt where you think is appropriate. "

Anya nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

"Next, Cannon, tell me."

"Okay, I will mainly talk about the factories in the base that have been affected by heavy rain..."

The meeting lasted for more than an hour, mainly talking about the damage in the base and arranging manpower to repair it.

after the meeting.

Li Yu walked on the wall and looked at several new reservoirs in the city inside the base.

After a long period of rain, it is easy to encounter a severe drought.

Therefore, after the heavy rain, Li Yu immediately took some measures.

In order to make drainage in the base smoother, Xu Zhen dug deeper into the low areas around the drainage outlet and added five or six drainage platforms.

A lot of rainwater has accumulated on these drainage platforms.

So this afternoon, Li Yu asked Xu Zhen to immediately turn the drainage channel to another direction.

These five or six drainage platforms that collected rainwater were simply repaired on the original basis and directly built into several small reservoirs.

In addition, over the mountain pond, the flood channel was closed after the heavy rain.

Take a walk on the fence while watching the sunset.

The sunset after a heavy rain is also particularly beautiful.

There are still some water stains on the wall. Under the setting sun, the wall looks like it is stacked with gold. It looks majestic, solemn, solemn, and luxurious.

The water on the fence slowly dries under the sun's rays.

Li Yu was walking while thinking about the base's next plans and arrangements:

The heavy rain has lasted for so long, and the food previously stored by the collaborators and non-staff in the outer city has long been consumed.

The Da Zhangshu Base couldn't just watch them starve to death, so it adopted the previous method of giving them some food in advance. After the heavy rain was over, they would go out to perform the mission, collect some usable materials, and exchange them. .

This approach has also won the gratitude and recognition of many cooperators, who all said that they would go out to perform tasks immediately after the flood was over.

However, Li Yu knew that such a large flood covered a wide area, and many electronic instruments were soaked in water and could not be used again.

If you want to find some usable supplies, you can only look further afield.

But no matter what, the end of the heavy rain and flood allowed them to take a breath for the time being.

The next step is to recuperate and start the development mode.

During the heavy rain, someone also suggested to Li Yu that since they were all given to food cooperation staff, he might as well accept them as non-staff.

But the most critical reason for being rejected by Li Yu was because of food.

Suddenly there were more than a thousand extra staff members, which was equivalent to more than a thousand more mouths.

Every day you open your eyes, you need to eat.

But now it is only in a cooperative capacity, so the Dazhangshu Base does not need to provide them with food.

Even though they were given some food this month, they had to pay back by performing tasks.

In short, Dazhangshu Base has absolute dominance and no responsibility.

If these people do not perform enough tasks outside and starve to death, it is because they lack ability. Some weaker teams can also be eliminated and stronger teams can be screened out.

The reality is very cruel, but there is no lasting mercy in the end times.

Within the base itself, it has not been affected by floods, and the underground drainage is very smooth.

In addition to the slightly modified places that were originally low and flat, there is still some water.

Elsewhere, the ground slowly dries out as the sun sets in.

At the foot of the mountain, a layer of silt was left behind where the flash flood had washed away.

Li Yu arranged for Xu Zhen Dengben and others to clean up the silt and fill it in some planting areas according to Anya's opinion.

After cleaning up the silt, the base will be clean.

The buildings of the entire base look extremely clean.

…

One day later.

The flood water level outside the base stopped rising and began to drop slowly.

………

Three days later.

The flood is no longer as rapid as before, and the water level has also been lowered by seven or eight meters.

The temperature also began to rise slowly, from the original two or three degrees above zero to ten degrees.

As the temperature rises, you can inadvertently see some weeds and wildflowers sprouting in the mountains and forests. The trees that survived tenaciously also quietly grow buds, green and trembling.

March and April are the time for spring growth.

In the base, most of the bamboo forest had died in the cold and drought.

But it grew crazily during the rainstorm, and after the rainstorm ended, the bamboo grew much taller than before, and bamboo shoots sprouted in large areas.

Aunt Zhou called many people to dig out a lot of spring bamboo shoots. There were too many spring bamboo shoots to eat, so she cut them into strips and dried them in the sun to make dried bamboo shoots.

Some mushrooms also grew in the mountains and forests, and Li Yu participated in the activity of collecting mushrooms, bathing in the long-lost sunshine and feeling the meaning of life amidst the laughter and laughter.

Anya also led people to start a new round of planting, raising seedlings and replanting.

On this day, Li Yu saw his grandfather pushing a cart filled with straw and running to the pond early in the morning. After curious inquiry, he learned that his grandfather was going to feed the fish in the pond. So I followed to help.

The old man is in good health, pulls the cart steadily, and has a ruddy complexion.

Originally, Li Yu wanted to use the tricycle to pull it up, but his grandfather declined, and he pushed it behind the cart without asking why.

…

mountain pond.

There is no wind on the lake, no ripples, and it is as calm as a flawless mirror.

Wow——

Grandpa sprinkled the dry straw down in handfuls.

In an instant, the entire lake surface was like boiling hot water, and the fish hidden in the lake were jumping and tumbling, eating the straw that had just been scattered.

While spreading the fish, grandpa said to Li Yu next to him: "Look at these fish, they have big heads and small bodies. They are all starved and thin."

Li Yu helped throw down the straw, feeling a little emotional in his heart: In such a cruel apocalypse, he has experienced high temperature, cold, volcanoes, heavy rain, acid rain...

But there are still many creatures still alive and strong.

Man is the primate of all things.

It is formed by gathering the essence of heaven and earth from all living things in the world. It is the most spiritual animal in heaven and earth.

Human beings with intelligence are better able to find ways to survive.

Sometimes, he also laments the tenacity of human beings.

…

He was feeding the fish here, watching the fish flipping, and listening to his grandfather talking in his ears.

We were talking about when we can plant peanuts, which are delicious when squeezed into oil. Occasionally, we talked about how delicious the spring bamboo shoots dug yesterday can be fried with bacon.

He also said that this child Yutong is really good, and he is about to marry him home. Xiaohang has become a father, so you have to hurry up.

Li Yu looked calm and listened quietly to his grandfather's ramblings. The heavy responsibility of the base, which he had been carrying, made his impetuous and nervous heart calmer.

In the past life, before the end of the world, the nagging of family members who were extremely annoying.

After the apocalypse broke out in his previous life, when he was living alone, he dreamed of returning to this scene countless times:

By the lake, the sun, grandpa, parents are short.

At this time, he was really listening, but he felt like he was in a dream.

He cherishes this moment very much.

…

"Xiaoyu, you should also take care of yourself." Suddenly, Grandpa said this.

Li Yu's whole body shook slightly.

Some people say that you will not cry when you are angry, only when you are wronged.

What is wronged? This feeling only arises when you are treated and criticized undeservedly.

And this kind of emotion needs to have a foundation, at least someone can understand you.

Some people say that pattern is strengthened by grievances, and people with pattern are generally less likely to feel grievances.

However, even people in high positions still have grievances.

Because I can't help myself.

It is normal to feel grievances occasionally.

The fewer people feel wronged, the stronger their hearts are.

Aggrieved by this emotion.

Li Yu didn't, and neither did many survivors who had lived in the apocalypse for five years.

Because they have given up, their expectations and sympathy in the brutal blows.

Not complaining about others can help create a strong heart.

But at this moment, Li Yu's heart was touched by his grandfather's seemingly casual words.

Li Yu raised his head slightly. After a few seconds, Li Yu turned his head and said with a smile: "Okay, I will."

The afternoon sun, the quiet forest, and the dancing fish cast the backs of the old and the young in the water.

With the microwave, slowly rippling.

………

os:

The natural disaster has come to an end, and a new plot is about to unfold, so I spent some time today thinking about the future development. Today is only 5,000 words, and I will continue to explode tomorrow.

Thank you for your support
