Li Yu stood on the wall and watched the people coming and going underground, doing cleaning and repair work.
He looked up at the direction where his uncle and the others were leaving, with hope and some worry in his eyes.
At this time, the second uncle walked out of the duty room and said to Li Yu: "Xiaoyu, there is news from Lao Bi in Oil City."
When Li Yu heard this, his eyes narrowed, he nodded and said, "Okay."
.......
In oil city.
Lao Bi looked at the typhoon and rain that was blocking the sky outside. The rain outside had already poured in, and the rain had already reached his ankles.
The typhoon still shows no signs of weakening, but their food is only enough to sustain them for less than five days.
The location of Oil City is actually half a meter higher than the surrounding land.
There is also a drainage system.
But in this typhoon weather, the rain was really heavy.
This area is originally a plain, and it is easy for water to accumulate under continuous heavy rains.
Lao Bi felt very bitter. He didn't expect that he would encounter so many troubles when he came to Oil City.
"Lao Bi, what's wrong?" Li Yu contacted Lao Bi.
After hearing what Li Yu said, Lao Bi said with some frustration: "Mr. Li, how many days has it been since the typhoon passed by your side? It has been four days here and the typhoon has not weakened yet. Now it is raining heavily.
It's up to our ankles.
Everyone is staying indoors now. I heard from people below that maybe the drainage pipes in Oil City are blocked, but now we have no way to get out from indoors."
Hearing this, Li Yu thought for a while and said: "There are only five days in total, and the wind actually dropped on the last day. If you keep persisting, it should be over soon.
In addition, regarding the food issue you mentioned last time, once the typhoon passes, I will send people to deliver food by helicopter. Don’t worry about this."
After hearing what Li Yu said, Lao Bi felt like he had been given a shot in the arm.
Who knows how they got here in the past few days, it was stormy outside, and the roof was crawling with zombies. If they hadn't blocked the upstairs, they would have all been wiped out by now.
They felt like a small boat in the ocean, in a storm.
It may be blown away by the wind at any time.
Today I found another crack in the wall on the left.
If this continues, they really don't know if this house can last until the typhoon passes.
The old man said to Li Yu with some grievance: "Okay, Mr. Li, when the typhoon here passes, I must send someone over."
Li Yu knew the power of the typhoon, and also knew that the protection in Oil City was incomparable to that of the Da Zhangshu Base.
Lao Bi must have been under a lot of pressure.
So he gently comforted: "Don't worry."
.............
Outside the big camphor tree base.
On the national highway.
Just two days after the typhoon, when my uncle and the others came out of the Da Zhangshu base, they saw a messy scene.
If it weren't for Cannon and the others who had cleaned up the national highway in advance in the morning and cleared the stones, wood and other garbage on both sides of the road, uncle and the others would not have been able to drive on the road.
Just when we were about to reach the Yanghe River, my uncle suddenly remembered something.
Zombies like moisture, and some zombies even like to lurk in rivers and lakes. Are there any zombies in Yanghe River?
On the other hand, the trees on both sides of the road were blown down by the typhoon. In addition, the water level rose during the typhoon and the rain, so I don't know if there are any uncaria there.
The uncle is a little worried, but there is no way now, they must find Uncaria.
They have a total of seven or eight people and seven guns. Even if there are zombies in the river, they can just evacuate if they really can't.
The uncle was thinking about it, and soon they arrived at the Yanghe Bridge. This Yanghe Bridge spanned fifty meters, with the Yanghe River below.
At this time, the water level of the Yanghe River had risen to the point where it was only one meter away from the Yanghe Bridge.
The uncle looked around, then drove the car and turned around on the bridge.
Parking your car on a bridge is not a wise decision.
After turning the car around, he parked it about thirty meters away from the Yanghe Bridge.
Then he pulled the handbrake on the car and said to everyone in the car: "Yanghe is ahead, let's get off here. Xiao Ding, you stay and watch the car."
After saying that, he opened the car door and got out of the car.
Li Yuan, Qingyang, Lao Xie and others got out of the car.
Qingyang held the long sword that Ju Tianrui had just returned to him in his hand, looked at the surrounding environment, and then said to his uncle: "We may have to look along the direction of the river, usually in some humid places, especially at the corners of rivers.
There are more places for mouth.”
The uncle nodded when he heard this, then glanced at Li Yuan who was holding an automatic rifle, and said to her: "Yuan Niu, be careful later and pay attention to safety."
Then he said to Lao Xie: "Lao Xie, look at her later."
After saying that, the uncle walked towards the river in front with his automatic rifle.
Due to the rising water level of the Yang River, the road along the river was flooded, and even the abandoned farmland along the river was flooded.
The plants by the river were also submerged by the river water. When they came to the river, they were a little confused when they saw this scene.
It's all flooded like this. Even if there is Uncaria, it should be in the river at this time.
Qingyang was stunned for two seconds, and then said: "Walking along the downstream to see if you can find it."
The uncle's face was not very good, but he could only nod and said: "Okay, let's go, everyone, be careful. There are zombies in the river, and they may come out of the river at any time."
Abandoned farmland. During the typhoon and rain, the soil was wet. They were walking in the muddy farmland.
Fortunately, after the end of the world, these farmlands were abandoned and no one took care of them in the past few years, and many weeds grew.
These weeds were laid down in the fields by the typhoon, just like a layer of straw was spread in the farmland.
The thick weeds slightly blocked their feet from direct contact with the muddy mud below, preventing their feet from sinking into the mud.
But the fields were full of water, which made walking inconvenient and made their trousers wet.
Everyone was walking in a deserted farmland, and the uncle was always watching in the direction of the river. Once there were zombies in the river, he would immediately ask everyone to leave.
Everyone waded forward, walking as slowly as possible to avoid making too much noise and attracting zombies in the river.
They walked for about five minutes, but everything they could see was a mess. There were only weeds in the farmland and no Uncaria.
Sudden.
Ahead, a big tree that was originally on the river bank collapsed, blocking their way.
"Go around." The uncle frowned and said to everyone.
The big tree in front of me, with a diameter of two meters, may have been blown down by a typhoon.
After everyone heard this, they avoided the fallen tree and walked to the right.
Li Yuan happened to reach the top of the big tree. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she strode towards the big tree.
I saw her pulling out a plant that looked very similar to Uncaria from under the big tree. She happily turned her head to Qingyang and said, "Is this it?"
She turned her back to the originally lush and fallen tree, and did not notice that under the scattered branches and leaves of this big tree, there was a zombie that was pressed under the tree when the typhoon came.
At this time, he finally broke free from the tree branch and rushed towards Li Yuan's back.
"Be careful!" Lao Xie was horrified to see this scene and quickly ran towards Li Yuan.
After Li Yuan heard what Lao Xie said, he restrained his instinct to turn back and instead ran forward with big steps.
However, when she reacted, the zombie was less than two meters away from her.
Times of crisis.
The uncle and others all ran towards her, but they were only seven or eight meters away from Li Yuan.
"Ouch!" When Li Yuan was running towards his uncle and the others, because he was too anxious, he accidentally tripped over the weeds in the farmland and fell to the ground.
There was water in the farmland, and there was a splash.
At the moment when the water splashed and Li Yuan fell, he saw a figure rushing towards him in a trance.
Extremely fast.
Clang!
The sword is unsheathed.
Qingyang walked very fast, almost every step would cause a splash of water, but before the water splash fell, he had already rushed to Li Yuan's side and swung his sword towards the zombie.
The sword is sharp, but I don’t know what material it is made of.
A sword cut off the zombie's head, and the zombie's body slowly fell down.
thump!
Then he looked at Li Yuan who fell to the ground, hesitated for two seconds, inserted his sword on the ground, and helped Li Yuan up with both hands.
Li Yuan was slowly helped up, but there was still some mud on his face, and there was a weed stuck in his hair. He looked quite wet and embarrassed.
Li Yuan was embarrassed, but she was in no mood to worry about it now.
He took out the plant from his right hand that never let go even if he fell, and said to Qingyang: "Is this one? Is this Uncaria?"
Before Qingyang could reply, his uncle and others came from behind and surrounded him.
"Yuan Niu, are you okay? I was scared to death." The uncle looked at Li Yuan from top to bottom and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was fine.
Lao Xie looked remorseful. He just happened to step into a pit. He glanced down and didn't pay attention to Li Yuan's situation.
"It's okay, it's okay, is this Uncaria?" Li Yuan asked Qingyang anxiously.
At the same time, he raised the plant in his hand towards Qingyang.
Qingyang took it and looked at it carefully. Then, with Li Yuan's expectant eyes, he shook his head with a wry smile: "No, they look very similar. They are plants of the same family, but this is not Uncaria."
When Li Yuan heard this, he was as discouraged as an eggplant beaten by frost.
Without saying a word, after a few seconds, she adjusted her mood, raised her head and said to Qingyang: "Thank you just now, thank you for saving me."
Qingyang saw Li Yuan's face that was a bit round but made people feel very comfortable after seeing it.
I saw the sincerity in Li Yuan's gentle eyes.
Qingyang's face suddenly turned red, and he waved his hands quickly and said: "No, no, no, it should be, it should be."
He seemed a little at a loss.
Li Yuan smiled immediately when he saw him like this.
There were two shallow dimples on his face.
This little Taoist blushes really easily. She has never seen anyone blush as easily as him in the apocalypse.
Li Yuan was originally feeling a little sad and was disappointed that he could not find Uncaria. At this moment, he felt inexplicably much better and his mood became relaxed.
So he said to the uncle next to him: "Uncle, I was too excited just now. I will be more careful later. If I make you worry, let's continue looking for Uncaria as soon as possible?"
The uncle looked at Li Yuan, then at the little Taoist priest, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
Everyone stayed away from this tree. This tree was too big and had lush branches and leaves. There was no guarantee that there would be zombies inside.
Qingyang, who drew his sword, looked at Li Yuan in front of him and hesitated for several seconds.
Finally, he took a few steps and said to Li Yuan: "Well, you have a grass on your head."
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't make too many moves. He just pulled the grass from his head lightly, and then said to Qingyang: "Thank you."
Qingyang's face turned red again, and then he walked dejectedly to the front to lead the way, as if running away.
What others didn't notice was that there was an imperceptible blush on Li Yuan's face.
Everyone walked along the river for ten minutes, but couldn't find Uncaria.
On the contrary, when I walked to the front, where the water level was relatively low, there were zombies lying by the river.
After seeing them, he roared and ran towards them.
After the zombies were awakened, more and more zombie heads emerged from the river at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the uncle saw this, he had no choice but to let everyone run up.
They did not run along the way they had just come. Running along the river was tantamount to seeking death. At this time, all the zombies in the river were awakened. They ran along the river, no matter how fast they ran.
They ran to a group of houses far away from the river, and then walked through the houses, throwing away the zombies that were following them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The uncle immediately used the walkie-talkie to contact Xiaoding who was waiting for them by the Yanghe Bridge and asked them to wait for them on the national highway in front.
Everyone took a detour, returned to the national highway, and sat in the car.
The uncle wiped his sweat and said to Qingyang: "Looking at it from the looks of it, it should be difficult to have a riverside. After the typhoon and rain, most of the plants along the river were submerged.
Are there other places where this plant grows? Let's look elsewhere."
Qingyang thought for a while and said: "Valleys are generally found in valleys. We can go look for them near the valleys. After the typhoon, the impact on the valleys should not be that great. The chance of finding Uncaria is not low."
"Okay." The uncle said nothing and asked Xiao Ding to drive to the nearest valley.
But it was less than five minutes after they set off.
Lao Qin's voice came from the intercom.
"Captain Liu, we found it. There is a large area here. Hua Gan said this is it. You should quickly bring Qingyang back to the base and let him see if it is right!"
When the uncle heard this, his face lit up, and he quickly said to Xiao Ding who was driving the vehicle: "I'm not going, let's go back to the base. Go back now, quickly!"
Xiao Ding braked suddenly and asked doubtfully: "Ah? Aren't you going?"
As he asked, he reversed the car and adjusted the vehicle to return to the Da Zhangshu base.
On the car.
The uncle said excitedly: "Hua Gan said they found it and asked us to go back. Qingyang, you can take a look later to confirm whether it is the Uncaria you mentioned."
The reason why uncle is so excited is actually very simple.
Hua Gan is also an old Chinese medicine doctor. He treats people from time to time in both inner and outer cities.
I have some waist problems, and I spent money to treat them.
This old man has some skills.
There should be no mistake.
After hearing the news from the uncle, everyone in the car was very surprised.
Facing his uncle's words, Qingyang nodded and said, "Okay."
So, they immediately turned around and returned to the Da Zhangshu base as quickly as possible.
