CHAPTER 933: CHAPTER 648: NEAR COMPLETION, XIAO XUE FALLS AT NIGHT

This victory gave them a great boost, significantly increasing their confidence in survival.

After dealing with the zombies, it was 1 o’clock.

Zhou Zhisheng shivered, it was too cold.

Colorless snot flowed from his nose.

He looked at the zombie corpses all over the ground outside, turned and gave a few instructions to the personnel on duty, then left the area.

He wasn’t young anymore, and his body couldn’t compare to that of young guys.

Traveling had worn him out, and with a heavy heart, he hadn’t rested well these days. Combined with the cold wind, he caught a cold easily.

Back at the house in the driving school, he didn’t take off his clothes and directly crawled into the sleeping bag.

The door in the house was broken, so they had no choice but to hang a piece of cloth to block the cold wind from coming in.

But after all, it couldn’t block all the wind, and the cold wind blew in through the gaps.

At night, with temperatures below minus ten degrees, Zhou Zhisheng felt a bit better after entering the sleeping bag, but it was still somewhat cold.

He forced himself to fall asleep quickly, or he’d be too tired again tomorrow.

Perhaps because he hadn’t slept well these days, even though it was a bit cold, he still quickly fell asleep.

....

Big Camphor Tree Base.

After a busy day, everyone felt the temperature drop rapidly after dark, so they stopped working.

Even though they could use lights to work at night, the weather was just too cold.

With temperatures below minus ten degrees and some humidity, it was easy to slip on the greenhouse framework.

So, they simply stopped working at night.

The installation of these solar panels was highly demanding; there mustn’t be any gaps, or else the warm air in the greenhouse would leak out, wasting energy.

Though there was light at night, it still wasn’t as clear as during the day.

Li Yu held a spotlight, looking at the greenhouse, which was more than a third covered, filled with a sense of accomplishment.

As long as these greenhouses were built, they could plant regardless of the weather.

The night was as cool as water.

The sky was dark, no fireflies, only a few spotlights on the mountains.

Li Yu went to the dining hall and found Zhou Xiumei and his mother.

"Mom, Aunt Zhou, in two days, I plan to organize a small event, both to welcome Ju Tianrui and the others to our base and to reward everyone for their hard work lately."

Mrs. Li looked at her son and said, "Alright, you’ve just returned and been busy all day again. Go and eat something quickly and rest early. Leave the event to me and Aunt Zhou."

Aunt Zhou also chimed in, "That’s right, Xiao Yu, you’ve been busy all day too, rest early."

Li Yu looked at his mother, a warm feeling surged in his heart. If there’s anyone in the world who will indulge you without limits, it’s only your mother.

His mother gave him a bowl full of food.

Li Yu took it, chatted with his mother for a couple of sentences, and then left.

His mother wasn’t the one who mainly did the cooking, but she always helped when serving food.

Li Yu noticed it was completely dark outside, carrying the food back to the entrance of the villa.

Back home, he turned on the TV. This TV wasn’t connected to the internet, but it had a hard drive with lots of movies and variety shows.

Li Yu looked at the directory on the hard drive and clicked on "A Bite of China".

A rich and mellow male voice sounded.

Li Yu felt that something was missing from the meal, so he dashed back to his room, opened the small storage, and took out a can of 330ml beer.

The villa had central air conditioning.

Warm air blew, making him feel cozy all over.

Today, Li Hang and the others made 25 more Zombie Generators.

Currently, there were 80 Zombie Generators in the base, capable of producing 672 kWh of electricity daily, generating over 200,000 kWh annually.

This was a very considerable number.

The electricity use in the base was no longer the same as before, no longer the embarrassment of barely making do.

The Zombie Generator, truly a pure and pollution-free new energy source.

Li Yu lay back on the soft sofa, eating the delicious food while watching Animal World, occasionally taking a sip of beer.

He felt the fatigue of the past few days easing off a lot.

Sometimes, he also thought of the people he had killed.

But he told himself everything he did was right, which made him feel much more at ease.

He was a kind person, fond of peace and beauty.

But he could only hold a knife in his left hand and a gun in his right to protect his family.

The occasional burst of killing intent, he was now slowly getting accustomed to it.

Within ten minutes, he finished his meal, simply washed the bowl in the villa’s kitchen, and then turned off the living room TV.

He noticed there was still a pot of cherry tomatoes in the living room.

After all, as the leader of Big Camphor Tree Base, this cherry tomato was the first batch An Ya recently grew; before supplying the canteen, it was given to Li Yu first.

Li Yu picked a few, eating while heading back to his room.

A few bites finished the cherry tomatoes in his hand.

He then took off his smelly clothes and tossed them into the dirty laundry basket.

Standing under the showerhead, hot water poured down.

Washing away the day’s exhaustion and dirt.

After cleaning, he looked at his somewhat long hair and whiskers.

Stubbly, with sword-like eyebrows, and eyes bright and lively.

There was a dashing roguishness to him like a young uncle.

Li Yu picked up scissors, trimmed his hair short, then used a razor to clean up the stubble.

He looked much more refreshed.

Li Yu touched his handsome chin, nodding in satisfaction.
