Chapter 597 The night recedes and the light comes(1/3)
The snow stopped.
It seems like a sign.
The zombies' movement speed also slowed down a bit, but they still sprinted towards the wall in the darkness.
Big camphor tree base.
Everyone who was accustomed to the rhythm of battles was not as frightened by the zombie wave at first, but fighting off zombies every day still made them feel a little tired.
So, after discussions between Li Yu, his second uncle, and others, it was decided to let non-staff personnel come to the wall to stop the zombies.
There were more than a hundred non-staff personnel in total. Li Yu did not let them all go up to the wall, but divided them into three groups.
Each group of more than 30 people was divided into ten blocking teams on the wall.
People like Zuo Ruxue, Xiao Hu, Guo Peng, Li Qi, Zhu Xiao and others came to the wall and were a little surprised to see so many zombies outside the wall.
For the past few days, they had been hearing the roars of zombies coming from outside. They could only hear the sounds and 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 an injection of living water, which relieves their stress a lot.
After the snow stopped, the temperature did not get warmer.
The weather in September is still bitingly cold.
Most of the trees outside the wall have disappeared. Most of them were caused by the flames caused when attacking zombies.
Outside the wall, the trees were still crackling and burning, and the zombies below were still roaring.
Time passes little by little.
Three days later.
The sky, which had been dark for a month, was finally no longer so dark.
It was like half an hour after the sun had set. Although I still couldn't see clearly, at least I wasn't in the dark and couldn't see my fingers.
Everyone who saw this scene was very excited. Although this was just the beginning, for them, it was a precursor to victory.
They had not seen the sun for a long time, and they wanted to see it now.
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 this temperature of more than ten degrees below zero, coupled with strong winds, 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 delivers food to them.
The key is that now there are 24 hours a day. There is no day or night, so I can only cook for them according to the time of rotation.
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, ugh"
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 fight the zombies together, Li Yu gave them food and let them eat the same meal together.
This is a good thing for Zhu Xiao.
It's just fighting zombies, it's not like I haven't fought them before.
He had not eaten such delicious food in more than a year, which made him excited to eat food from the Da Zhangshu Base for the first time when he came to the wall a few days ago.
That time, he finished enough food for three people.
Although he eats a lot, his fighting ability is also very good.
Being able to hold a heavy machine gun and deliver continuous output without the need to rest at all.
Zhu Xiao was holding a huge washbasin. Only by using this washbasin could he enjoy his meals.
Today I had lettuce, fried lamb with green onions, and some tofu.
These home-cooked dishes before the apocalypse have become luxuries in this apocalypse.
Zhu Xiao’s happiest day now is when she eats.
Although he looks very powerful, through these days of getting along with each other, Li Yu clearly feels that he has a different personality from the outside.
Zhu Xiao was very happy, rushed into the duty room, rubbed his hands, said "thank you" to Aunt Zhou, and then started eating.
Nowadays, the physical exertion is huge every day. With such a huge physical exertion, Li Yu will naturally not treat them badly with food.
Therefore, if 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 Isle.
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!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There is no victory yet, but the stop of snow will give people a feeling of hope.
Human beings are never afraid of difficulties, but afraid of losing hope.
Such long continuous dark nights, acid rain, and heavy snowfall have already overwhelmed their bodies and minds.
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 strong winds blew, compared with the gradually brightening sky, this was already great good news.
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 from the original five digits to four digits.
The more populated a place is, the stronger 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. The number was not large. Almost as soon as they climbed into the wall, they 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 no longer so dark.
Cheers resounded across the sky.
