After hearing Old Bi’s words, Li Yu’s tense mood immediately relaxed quite a bit.

It’s just zombies, even the Big Camphor Tree Base had zombies coming in, let alone Oil City.

However, the food shortage issue is quite important.

So he said to Old Bi, "For the zombie problem, wait until the typhoon has completely passed, and then you can send someone to clear it. Just remember, wait until the typhoon has completely passed before going out. I believe you can take care of the zombies."

After hearing Li Yu’s words, Old Bi felt miserable inside.

It’s easy to say but hard to do.

He looked at the densely packed zombies outside, his head going numb.

If the lockdown hadn’t been done well enough, the zombies would have gotten in.

The zombies outside, from who knows where, have already piled up two or three meters high.

Li Yu continued, "As for the food issue, I estimate that a week later, the typhoon will have passed from your side too. By then, I will send someone over to deliver food. You can rest assured about that."

"Thank you, Director Li." Hearing Li Yu respond this way, Old Bi breathed a sigh of relief.

Back at the Big Camphor Tree Base, there was a stable food supply, and since he never led an entire city, he didn’t feel the pressure.

But now, the entire Oil City listens to him, top to bottom.

Whenever various problems arise, they come to him. To be honest, it bothers him quite a bit.

Any equipment failure, they turn to him; how could he know? Although there are people from the Original Oil City who can repair, he still had to coordinate these affairs.

The food shortage, defense issues, and management problems—all sorts of things have considerably added to Old Bi’s gray hairs.

...

Big Camphor Tree Base.

Just like after a natural disaster or heavy rain, Li Tie led people to collect the zombie corpses that perished after the typhoon, then tossed them into the base’s power plant boiler for incineration and electricity generation.

After He Chao departed from the Inner City, he dispatched many Cooperative Personnel and Extra Staff.

The vehicles belonging to these Cooperative Personnel were all parked in two Weng Cities.

In this typhoon and rainstorm, some vehicles suffered severe damage.

There are some people in the base who know how to repair cars. Outside City personnel, some know, and so do some of the Cooperative Personnel and Extra Staff.

Thus, they simply built a temporary repair shed outside the base’s perimeter wall.

In the Doomsday, after enduring so many natural disaster storms, having a vehicle that can operate normally was already great.

This isn’t like a year or two ago, shortly after the Doomsday outbreak, when there were vehicles everywhere; one could easily find some to drive.

Now it’s different. Many of the cars outside the base have been soaked in floods, mostly on the verge of scrapping.

At the main gate of the Big Camphor Tree Base, people were coming and going. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Ju Tianrui and others returned all the items submitted by these Cooperative Personnel and Extra Staff.

Qingyang, having obtained his sword, walked out through the base’s main gate together with Dongfeng.

Seeing the scene outside the Big Camphor Tree Base, they were momentarily stunned.

Outside the Big Camphor Tree Base, the forest below seemed to have been shaved off, and the view became much broader.

There were scattered tree branches everywhere, the muddy ground with some random trash.

Dongfeng naturally saw this too and shook his head with a smile saying, "Previously, the natural disasters, while not as severe, still killed quite a few trees. Nature has great recovery capabilities; it won’t be long before it’s vibrant again."

Qingyang looked at Dongfeng with some surprise; this was different from when he first met him, seemingly becoming more open-minded.

Noticing Qingyang’s gaze, Dongfeng spoke up, "These days, surviving is already good enough. Along the way, so many people have died; it is lucky to be alive."

Hearing this, Qingyang replied with emotion, "Indeed."

Turning his head and seeing Li Yu on the wall, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

He said, "No matter what, Big Camphor Tree Base saved us; in such a disaster, it provided us with a place of refuge, greatly virtuous."

Dongfeng nodded, twisted his neck, and said, "Let’s go, let’s check our living place; who knows what state it is in now."

.....

Ten minutes later.

Dongfeng, Uncle Wan, and Qingyang stood in front of their residence, bewildered.

The overall structure of the house was still there; only all the windows were gone, the small courtyard wall collapsed, even the house’s wall had a fingernail-sized crack.

"....."

"Let’s tidy up, sigh....." Dongfeng shook his head and then said to the people behind him.

In such a typhoon, not turning into rubble completely was already fortunate.

Meanwhile, other Cooperative Personnel and Extra Staff who returned to their residences had the same brief moment of shock as Dongfeng and the others.

It’s just, they’ve gotten used to it.

Faced with such circumstances, is it difficult?

Yes.

But life has to continue.

They could only accept it, brace themselves, repair the houses, and rebuild the walls.

All around the base, both inside and outside, people were busy.

Everyone was busy making repairs, trying to restore it to its original state.

Natural disasters are merciless, but human willpower is extraordinarily strong, continuously standing up in the face of repeated natural disasters and Zombie Tides, resiliently surviving.

....

On the wall.

Li Yu watched the bustling people below, slowly tilting his head up to see the sky, clear as wash.
