Chapter 691: Bamboo Shoots Spring up After the Rain, Bamboo Forests Grow Wildly

After a baptism of violent storms, the sky is clear and the scenery under the sun is particularly clear.

Outside the camphor tree base.

After the flood receded, the water level dropped, exposing a chaotic scene.

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

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

The trunks were broken and scattered everywhere, forming a mess.

After the flood, the land became muddy.

The silt spread all over the land, giving people a heavy and difficult feeling.

It was sticky and turbid, enough to sink into people's footsteps.

The silt exuded a foul smell, which brought together the waste and death in the flood, making people feel suffocated and nauseous.

Under the scouring of the flood, some zombies were washed away or looked for dark places to hide; while some were trapped in the mud and struggled hard.

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

They let out bloodthirsty and shrill howls, as if struggling in endless pain.

Orange Island.

Puhua Building.

Gan Hu looked at the flood, which was only a few meters away from them, and was very grateful.

"Almost, almost!" Gan Hu murmured.

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

Gan Hu collapsed on the terrace on the top floor of 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 smiled, shook his head and squatted down: "When the flood recedes, we can leave, but there is a problem.

We are right by the Xiangjiang River, and the flood is so high. The cars we parked under the building are probably scrapped, and the cars around here are probably about the same. We may have to walk back to the Western Alliance."

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, we are just a few people now, and the food we carry is almost consumed. If we don't go back, we may starve to death on the way. Besides, with such a terrible rainstorm and flood, it is estimated that those people may have died long ago."

Gan Hu was unwilling. Although he was reckless, he was not a completely brainless person. These days, they were afraid that the rainstorm would continue, so they reduced the daily quota of food supply again and again, just to be able to hold on for a while.

If they let go of eating, they would have starved to death long ago.

Gan Hu finally said, "I'll think about it again."

When Yao Zuo heard his words, he knew that Gan Hu was convinced, and he said he would consider it just to save face.

He stopped talking.

The sun shone 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, enjoying the warmth and shine of the sun.

Sanqing Mountain.

A small house on the mountainside.

After the rainstorm stopped, Xu Chengcai walked out of the small house with Xiao Yong.

The two had been in this place for a month, and they hadn't seen much sunshine for a month. Bathing in the sun at this time made them feel so good.

There was still some rain from the mountain, dripping here, passing through the platform halfway up the mountain, and sliding into the path down the mountain.

The path down the mountain was full of mud, silt, and trees blown by the wind.

The green mountains are emerald green. Xu Chengcai looked at the steep mountain opposite. This mountain peak is like a ruler, piercing straight into the sky.

There are not many clouds in the sky, but there are many white steaming mists halfway up the mountain. At a glance, it seems to be in a fairyland.

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

Although he was lucky to find the warehouse in this hut, the food in the warehouse is limited after all. Just this month's consumption has eaten more than one-third of the food.

We must not wait until these foods are eaten before making plans.

Xu Chengcai looked at the flood in the valley, which was still surging.

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

In the past month, Xiaoyong has been following me to use the knife every day, but because of the limited space in the hut, some actions cannot be performed. Now that the rainstorm has stopped, I can also take him to practice on this wide platform.

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

"Really! I can finally learn something new." Xiaoyong was extremely excited. He thought learning a knife was a very interesting thing.

But the fact is that his father often asked him to repeat a move that seemed extremely simple to him every day.

Now he was so happy to learn new moves.

So he hurried back to the hut.

Lushan Mountain.

The top of the mountain.

The rainstorm ended, and raindrops dripped from the eaves.

The drops of raindrops smashed the bluestone slab into a small puddle.

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

Dongfeng frowned, as if he had made a very difficult decision, and then said:

"Okay, once the flood recedes, we will go south to the legendary camphor tree base. However, after we get close, we will observe for a while and don't rush over. If we encounter someone like Lao Dong who ran into the Orange Island, they will not be able to come out alive unless they are lucky!"

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

Mu Jing Er Xiao Er Ji, Camphor Tree Base.

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

In addition.

At the end of this rainstorm and flood, or after every disaster, Li Yu would take inventory of the damage to the base.

This time, of course, it was no surprise.

Let Da Pao, Anya, Second Uncle and others inspect various places in the base and calculate the damage caused by the heavy rain in the base.

After half a day of inspection.

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

"Second Uncle, you go first." Li Yu looked at Second Uncle sitting on the right and said.

Second Uncle did not open his notebook and said directly: "I mainly checked the situation outside the wall. Basically, the wall was not affected much. It was just in the No. 3 duty room. The roof inside was leaking and needed to be repaired."

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

Anya sat a little forward on the stool and said, "Two greenhouses are leaking and need to be repaired. In addition, a lot of soil has been washed down from the mountains and forests of the base, and nutrients have been lost. This has a great impact on the future vegetation of the mountains and forests.

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

These silts contain a lot of nutrients, including organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc. It is very beneficial to the growth of plants."

Li Yu listened carefully to Anya's words, thought about it, and said to Anya : "I will ask Ding Jiu and others to come and repair the greenhouse later. Now that the rainstorm is over, we can start planting the next season's crops directly.

In addition, regarding the silt, I will arrange people to clean and collect the silt in the next two days. You will take over there and fill the silt in the place you think is appropriate."

Anya nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

"Next, Cannon, you say something."

"Okay, I will mainly talk about the impact of the factory buildings in the base on the rainstorm..."

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

After the meeting.

Li Yu walked on the wall and looked at the newly added reservoirs in the city of the base.

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

So, after the rainstorm, Li Yu immediately took some measures.

In order to make the drainage in the base more unobstructed, Xu Zhen dug deeper in the low places 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.

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

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

Walking on the wall and watching the sunset.

The sunset after the heavy rain is also very beautiful.

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

The accumulated water on the wall is also slowly drying up under the sun.

Li Yu was walking while thinking about the next plan and arrangement of the base:

The heavy rain lasted for so long, and the food stored by the cooperative personnel and non-staff personnel in the outer city had long been consumed.

The camphor tree base couldn't just watch them starve to death, so it adopted the previous method, first advance some food to them, and wait until the rainstorm is over, and then they will go out to perform tasks, collect some usable materials, and exchange them.

This approach has also won the gratitude and recognition of many partners, and they have expressed that they will go out to perform tasks immediately after the flood is over.

However, Li Yu knows that such a large flood covers a wide range, and many electronic instruments have been soaked and cannot be used again.

If you want to find some usable materials, you can only go to a farther place to look for them.

But in any case, this rainstorm and flood are over, allowing them to take a breath for the time being.

Next, they will have to recuperate and start the development mode.

During the rainstorm, someone also suggested to Li Yu that since they had given food to the partners, they might as well take them all in as non-staff personnel.

But the most critical reason for Li Yu's refusal was food.

Suddenly, there were more than a thousand non-staff teams, which was equivalent to more than a thousand mouths.

Every day, you have to eat when you open your eyes.

Now they are just cooperating, and the big camphor tree base does not need to provide them with food.

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

In short, the camphor tree base had absolute control and was not responsible.

If these people did not complete enough tasks outside and starved to death, it was because they were incompetent. Some weaker teams could be eliminated and stronger teams could be selected.

Reality is very cruel, but there is no long-term mercy in the end of the world.

The base itself was not affected by the flood, and the underground drainage was very smooth.

Except for the few places where the low and flat land was slightly corrected, there was still some water accumulation.

In other places, the ground gradually became dry with the exposure of the sun.

At the foot of the mountain, a layer of silt was left in the place where the mountain torrent washed away.

Li Yu arranged Xu Zhen, Deng Ben and others to clean up the silt and fill it into some planting areas according to Anya's opinions.

After cleaning up the silt, the base was clean.

The buildings of the entire base looked extremely clean.

…

One day later.

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

………

Three days later.

The flood was not as turbulent as before, and the water level dropped by seven or eight meters.

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

As the temperature rose, we could see some weeds and wild flowers emerging in the forest, and the trees that survived tenaciously also quietly grew tender 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 wildly in the rainstorm, and after the rainstorm ended, the bamboo was much taller than before, and spring bamboo shoots emerged in large patches.

Aunt Zhou called many people to dig a lot of spring bamboo shoots together. There were so many spring bamboo shoots that they couldn't eat them all, so they cut them into strips and dried them into dried bamboo shoots.

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

Anya also led people to start a new round of planting, seedling raising and transplanting.

One day, Li Yu saw his grandfather pushing a cart full of straw to the mountain pond early in the morning. After asking curiously, he learned that his grandfather was going to the mountain pond to feed the fish. So he went to help.

The old man was in good health, pulling the cart steadily, and his complexion was rosy.

Originally, Li Yu wanted to pull it up directly with an electric tricycle, but was rejected by his grandfather. He didn't ask the reason and just pushed the cart behind him.

...

Mountain pond.

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

Hula——

Grandpa threw handfuls of dry straw.

In an instant, the entire lake surface was like boiling water, and the fish hidden in the lake jumped and tumbled, eating the straw that had just been thrown.

As Grandpa was throwing the straw, he said to Li Yu beside him: "Look at these fish, they have big heads and small bodies, and they are all skinny from hunger."

Li Yu helped to throw the straw down, and he felt a little emotional: in such a cruel apocalypse, they have experienced high temperatures, cold, volcanoes, rainstorms, acid rain...

But there are still many creatures alive, living strong.

Humans are the primates of all things.

They are the essence of all things in the world, and they are the most spiritual animals in the world.

Humans with wisdom can find ways to survive.

Sometimes, he also lamented the tenacity of human beings.

…

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

Talking about when to plant peanuts, peanut oil is delicious, and occasionally talking about the spring bamboo shoots dug yesterday can be fried with bacon.

He also said that Yutong is a good child, and it's almost time to marry her home. Xiaohang is already a father, you have to hurry up too.

Li Yu's face was calm, and he listened to his grandfather's chatter quietly. The heavy responsibility of the base that he had been carrying made his somewhat impetuous and nervous heart calm down.

In the previous life, before the end of the world, he used to hate the chatter of his family members.

After the outbreak of the end of the world in the previous life, when he was living alone, he dreamed of such scenes countless times:

Lakeside, sun, grandfather, family affairs.

At this time, he really listened, but it felt like a dream.

He cherished this moment very much.

…

"Xiao Yu, take care of yourself too." Grandpa suddenly said this.

Li Yu's whole body was slightly shaken.

Some people say that anger will not make you cry, only grievances will.

What is grievance? This feeling will only arise when you are treated and criticized inappropriately.

And this emotion needs a foundation, at least someone can understand you.

Some people say that the pattern is expanded by grievances, and people with pattern are generally not easy to feel aggrieved.

But even people in a very high position will still feel aggrieved.

Because I have no choice.

It is normal to feel wronged occasionally.

The less wronged a person is, the stronger their heart is.

The feeling of wronged.

Li Yu does not have it, and many survivors who have lived in the apocalypse for five years do not have it.

Because they have given up, given up expectations and sympathy in the face of cruel blows again and again.

Not blaming others can help build a strong heart.

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

He raised his head slightly, and 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 jumping fish cast the backs of the old and the young in the water.

With the microwave, it ripples slowly.

………

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 development of the future. Today is 5,000 words, and tomorrow will continue.

Thank you for your support
