At the Big Camphor Tree Base, Li Yu’s authority is not to be challenged.

Li Yu used to gather them for meetings to discuss matters, harnessing collective strength to enable them to play a greater role.

But in this matter, Li Yu will not allow anyone to question him.

With that, Luo and Ju Tianrui both bowed out and left, while Li Tie remained, looking at his big brother without saying a word.

He too had his doubts, but he trusted his big brother, believing he wouldn’t issue such orders without reason.

"They’re all gone, why are you still standing here?" Li Yu glanced at Li Tie, assuming he had more questions.

Li Tie said innocently: "Big brother, I’m sleeping in the car. I’m on duty in the second half of the night."

"Oh." Li Yu realized his misunderstanding and felt a bit embarrassed.

Then he said to Li Tie, "Go get my cup from the car."

With his younger brother, he’s always direct with requests, not holding back.

Li Tie hurried into the car, kindly filled Li Yu’s cup with water, and handed it to him.

Then he turned to Li Yu and said, "Big brother, I have to be on duty later, so I’m going to sleep now."

"Hmm." Li Yu replied without turning his head.

When Li Tie returned to the car, a faint smile slowly crept up Li Yu’s face.

There are some people who will support you no matter what you do, regardless of right or wrong, consequences aside.

Not for any particular reason, just because you are their brother, with a hundred percent trust.

The night was noisy.

Zombies outside the walls were constantly howling, and the howls echoed in the empty school.

Li Yu closed his eyes, resting quietly.

Dormitory building.

Fourth floor.

The young Taoist Qingyang lay in bed feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

"Taoist, what was that swordsmanship you used?" asked Xiao Ye, a tall and skinny teenager sleeping across from him, curiously.

"Tai Chi Sword," Qingyang patiently replied.

"Huh? Isn’t Tai Chi supposed to be slow? How come you move so fast?"

Qingyang replied helplessly, "No, Tai Chi isn’t necessarily slow. Fast and slow are natural, how to say, being slow is for the sake of being fast."

"I don’t understand..."

Qingyang: "....."

Internally complaining, what’s with this kid being so annoying.

This afternoon, blocking the zombies required incredible physical effort, and he was already somewhat exhausted.

He didn’t like staying up late, never did. The kid across had been asking questions for over an hour.

Just then, Old Huang suddenly interjected.

"Son, stop asking questions. Let the Taoist Qingyang get some rest, we still have a journey tomorrow."

Hearing this, Xiao Ye finally stopped asking questions.

A few minutes later.

The room was quiet.

A boy’s voice spoke up again.

"You were really awesome this afternoon! I want to be as strong as you, so I can protect more people!"

Afterwards, he stopped talking.

In the darkness, Qingyang felt inexplicably happy.

The annoyance from earlier disappeared, replaced by a sense of happiness.

....

Next day.

Everyone woke from their slumber.

Li Yu got up early and called over Zhou Tian and Ju Tianrui.

"Director Li, you were looking for us?" Ju Tianrui asked as he approached.

Li Yu nodded, then turned to Zhou Tian and asked, "Yesterday, did you first see those zombies emerging from that cave?"

"Yes." Zhou Tian nodded vigorously.

Li Yu glanced at him and asked, "You didn’t go into that cave, did you?"

"No, I didn’t."

"How high is the cave?" Li Yu asked.

"About four to five meters."

Li Yu capped his cup and said, "Why not use explosives to collapse that cave? That way, those zombies can’t get out."

"Damn, right, why didn’t I think of that?" Zhou Tian slapped his forehead.

Li Yu continued, "It’s okay; not bombing it yesterday was correct. You were too close. If it collapsed, the flying rocks could injure people."

"This morning, Li Tie told me that a drone saw those zombies had returned to the cave around dawn.

So, Old Ju, take some people and blow up that cave, seal the entrance, and make sure to detonate it remotely, stay far away. Don’t get yourselves hurt."

Ju Tianrui nodded and said, "Got it, thanks for the reminder, Director Li. We’ll go immediately."

Li Yu nodded and let them leave.

Later, he remotely controlled a drone and saw Ju Tianrui lead a team, carrying some TNT explosives to the cave entrance.

They pulled the fuse to a large stone over thirty meters away.

Then lit the fuse.

Ju Tianrui and his team knew what they were doing with the explosives, considering the placement and the amount needed.

They used enough explosives to bring down a three-story building.

Boom!

With the sound of an explosion.

The ground shook.

Even those at the school felt the tremor, looking bewilderedly towards the direction of the cave.

At the cave’s entrance.

With the detonation, rocks from above and both sides of the entrance collapsed, sealing it completely.

Under the explosive force, small rocks flew everywhere.

Even reaching the large stone dozens of meters away.

Bam bam bam!

The rocks, powered by the force of the explosive, continuously struck the large stone.

Zhou Tian and his companions, hiding behind the large stone, were left with lingering fears, grateful they hadn’t thought of using explosives to collapse the cave yesterday.

Otherwise, the flying rocks could have caused them serious trouble.

Rocks flew wildly, and dust filled the sky.

Ten minutes later, when the dust settled.

They saw the cave had collapsed, blocked by large and small rocks.

The depth of the cave appeared to have shortened, indicating it had partially collapsed inside too.

"Success." Zhou Tian exclaimed excitedly upon seeing this scene.

Ju Tianrui inspected it and nodded, then said to the group, "Let’s go back."

They headed back towards the school.

In the sky above them, Li Yu watched this scene via the drone, then maneuvered the drone away.

What they didn’t know was that the cave was very spacious, with deep and wide passages, and there was groundwater inside, making it damp and eerie, with a low temperature that zombies particularly liked.

So, most of the zombies in the surrounding area were hiding there.

By using those explosives, they had wiped out more than half of the zombies within a few miles.

Once they returned to the school, everyone gathered around to ask what had happened.

After listening to Ju Tianrui’s explanation, they finally understood what had transpired.

Soon after.

The group got ready, refueled, added water, then locked the dormitory door, and afterward, chained the school’s iron gate shut.

Leaving the place behind.

The transfer station had been selected, and the location wasn’t bad.

However, it couldn’t be used yet.

The typhoon was passing through, and the walls were too low to offer protection.

Li Yu didn’t want to risk additional casualties, so they all returned to the base for now.
