Chapter 74: The Calm Before the Storm

Nothing happened all night.

On a sunny morning, Li Yu got up early and started exercising at the base without hesitation.

After exercising, we still start breakfast.

The new workers who came in also knew Li Yu's parents before. When they built the base wall, in addition to their wages, they also had food included.

Now, they all live within the wall, but their mood at this time is completely different from before.

Every time it's time to eat, it's the busiest moment in the base.

Porridge, some steamed buns, and some pickles are today's breakfast.

Of course, everyone who is younger and still growing will be given an egg.

After breakfast, Li Yu led the people in the base to open the gate and then the trees in front of the road. The trees would block the zombies in front, so some had to be cut down.

Not many trees were cut down, only about ten meters away. The trees themselves were nearly 30 meters away from the base wall.

The Wengcheng built this time can be imagined like this:

The base wall is a large circle surrounding the plain and two mountains. The Wengcheng wall is a small circle outside the large circle. The large circle and the small circle are connected.

While Li Yu and others were cutting down trees outside, there were always people on the watchtower looking around.

Li Hongyuan had an engineering background before, so building a wall couldn't be easier for him. According to Li Hongyuan's idea, the barbican city was built outside the current gate, which would occupy less land of the base and also expand the land of the base.

After subtracting and calculating, there is a lot of space.

The newly built fence uses the gate as the boundary to build a semicircle with a radius of 20 meters. This time, the width of the fence is more than 3 meters.

Seeing that the trees have almost been cut down, many things after the original construction of the wall are still left in the base. Including mixers and a Ruijiang tanker, this can be used to mix cement directly without manual mixing.

When the time comes, just lay the foundation, tie up the steel cage, and cast it directly on site, which is very fast.

There are still some steel bars in the base, but the base alone is definitely not enough, so Li Yu and Li Tie took the time to take the part-time workers to the outskirts of the county and brought back some steel bars.

When transporting the steel bars, it went very smoothly. I didn't meet anyone, and I encountered relatively few zombies. It seemed that there were suddenly fewer zombies, as if it was the prelude to a storm.

Li Yu was very keen to see the difference at this point. Not only was he not happy, but he was also a little worried. This was very similar to the situation he had faced many times before. This made Li Yu feel that something was not right in his heart.

The only thing that made Li Yu somewhat gratified was that after these few days of contact, these workers performed very well. This made Li Yu very satisfied, but he did not take it lightly. Instead, he increased his attention and observed these people.

The base wall has also been built in the past few days. During this period, some zombies occasionally appeared outside the wall, and then fewer and fewer zombies appeared later.

This scene gave Li Yu a feeling of déjà vu. Before rebirth, many small groups would be swept away by the zombie wave.

Often before a zombie tide arrives, the surrounding zombies will gradually become fewer and fewer as they begin to gather. Once a zombie tide forms, it will be like locusts passing through. If there is no strong wall to resist, the zombies will inevitably break through.

With this sense of anxiety, Li Yu went to his father to ask about the construction time. After the foundation was completed, the in-situ pouring would be quick, but it would also take some time.

Li Hongyuan saw Li Yu's anxiety, so he asked: "Aren't there fewer and fewer zombies now? Why are you still in such a hurry?"

Li Yu thought for a while and finally said: "I feel something is not right. You remember that when the zombie wave came last time, the zombies suddenly decreased a lot. This time, I feel there will be a bigger zombie wave.

We must build the urn city before the zombie wave comes, otherwise it will be very difficult for us later!"

When Li Hongyuan heard this, he remembered the last time the base was besieged by a zombie wave, and suddenly became a little anxious. So he said: "Now that the foundation has been laid, we can just cast in place and build the wall. We will use all our manpower to get it all done.

It will take at least five days, and if the wall is completely dry, it will take at least two or three days."

When Li Yu heard this, he was a little nervous, and he didn't have enough time. According to his experience, generally after the zombies in the surrounding area gradually decrease, it can take up to 7 days or as short as 3 days before the zombie wave will arrive.

This time is a bit tight, but there is no way, we must speed up the construction of the urn city.

So he said: "Let's do it as soon as possible!".

Then I found my uncle and others and chatted with them about the situation. After my uncle and others heard this, they couldn't sit still for a moment.

In the past, Li Yu led them to make decisions that all verified Li Yu's correctness. Once, twice, three times, after many things, everyone believed in Li Yu's judgment. In addition, zombies have indeed become more and more serious recently.

There were fewer and fewer visitors, and everyone noticed this. Therefore, no one raised any objections.

After all, the sooner the Wengcheng is built, the sooner everyone can rest assured.

After everyone discussed it, they decided to rush to work at night. At the beginning, Li Yu bought a lot of super high-beam lights. Under the illumination of 6 high-beam lights, the surrounding wall was as bright as day.

But during the construction at night, except for the wall, it was pitch black outside, which was still very intrusive.

The night is very dark.

But the sound of mixers kept ringing around the base.

Strangely enough, zombies are most active at night and are most sensitive to sounds. But even in this case, not a single zombie was seen tonight.

This made many people feel more relaxed and began to concentrate on building walls.

In the night, the wall was built bit by bit, from one meter to two meters...

Behind the woods, there were two zombies who were not together with most of the zombies, either because they were alone or for some other reason. Instead, they were wandering alone on the edge of the national highway.

The tank truck at the base made a loud stirring sound. The two zombies seemed to be attracted by the sound and slowly approached the base.

However, everyone in the base basically saw no zombies today, and their vigilance dropped a lot.

In the days after entering the base, those workers ate and drank with Li Yu and others, and had beds to sleep peacefully at night. With sufficient food and sleep, their bodies have recovered a lot, and they have slowly adapted mentally.

.

Now we are chatting and working.

There is no way around it. Although building a fence is simple, it is too repetitive and can easily make you sleepy.

However, the two zombies had slowly approached the base and reached the woods.

The distance from where everyone built the urn city is less than 30 meters!
