Apocalypse Overlord is Stunned: Fleeing Famine from the Get-Go

Apocalypse overlord Yun Yiyi had just perished together with a group of high-level zombies. The next moment she opened her eyes, she had become a six-year-old chubby girl. What now?

Chapter 78: Going up the mountain to find water (Part 2)

"Brother, the further down I went, the more moist the air felt. So I thought we might be very close to the water, so I looked around." Yun Yiyi said loudly.

"Dad, let's keep going."

Yun Yiyi got off Yun the Butcher, pointed her stick ahead and said.

"Okay, guys, follow me." Yun the Butcher took the lead and walked forward.

Yun Yiyi and the others walked in the woods for about twenty minutes, and Yun the Butcher, who was walking in front, stopped.

"Dad, why don't you leave?" Yun Yiyi asked curiously.

"Yiyi, what do you think that is?"

Following Yun the Butcher's finger, Yun Yiyi spotted a small pool. It was circular, about four meters in diameter. Above it was a high waterfall, apparently cascading down from the top of a mountain. However, the current was low, so no one could hear the sound. If the waterfall were larger, the sound would be audible even from a distance.

The other three sides of the pond are surrounded by woods. Looking up, the leaves on the trees are still green, and a lot of the weeds under the trees are also green.

"Dad, we found water, that's great." Yun Yiyi jumped up happily.

"Yes, let's go closer and take a look. I don't know how deep the pool is." Yun the Butcher said uncertainly.

When the young men saw the pond, they laughed happily. Now they had really found water.

Yun the Butcher and his companions came to the edge of the pond and looked in. The water near the edge was clear enough to see the rocks at the bottom. However, the water in the middle was very deep and the bottom was invisible.

"Uncle Yun, I saw fish in the pond." A young man happily pointed to a piece of water near the pond.

Hearing his words, everyone turned to look. Sure enough, near the pond, lush aquatic plants grew, and right next to them, a school of fish swam. They all looked quite large, each weighing perhaps two or three pounds.

"Uncle Yun, this is such a great place."

"I didn't expect there was such a good place in the mountains."

The young men chatted happily. Then, they all squatted down, scooped up water from the pond, and washed their hands and faces. The cool water splashed on their faces, and the heat instantly disappeared. It was so comfortable.

Yun Yiyi pricked up her ears and listened carefully. Yes, she was right. She really heard the sound of birds. The sound of birds should come from the woods to the right of the pond.

"Dad, can we arrange someone to go back and inform Uncle Zhang and the village chief?" Yun Yiyi said.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go back and report the news now."

"Dad, I think it would be best if all the people who come to fetch water are men. The main reason is that the road into the mountains is long and difficult to walk. It will be even more difficult if you carry water with you. Also, remember to ask the village chief to keep some people in the village. Not all the men can come to fetch water." Yun Yiyi said seriously.

"Okay, I understand, Yiyi. Just sit over here and rest for a while."

"All of you go back and tell the people waiting at the fork in the road that we've found water. Two of you will stay there to wait for Zhang the Hunter and the others. The rest of you will go back to the village and inform the village chief to bring people to fetch water."

"The mountain road is difficult to walk on, so drive slowly. Just take the road we came from and don't change the route. The forest is very big and you will get lost if you are not careful." Yun the Butcher said seriously.

"Uncle Yun, let's go back first." The young men said as they ran back.

"Run slower and be careful." Yun the butcher shouted worriedly.

"I understand, Uncle Yun." The voice came back from afar.

Butcher Yun turned around when he saw the young men had run away and could no longer see their shadows. Suddenly, he found that Yun Yiyi was gone.

"Yiyi, where have you been?" Yun the butcher shouted anxiously.

"Dad, I'm here. I'll be out soon." Yun Yiyi's voice came from the woods to the right of the pool.

Butcher Yun walked into the woods worriedly and happened to meet Yun Yiyi walking out.

"Dad, I was just observing the terrain. I looked around the pond and found footprints of rabbits, wild boars, and other animals. So there are many animal footprints not only on the road we just came from, but also in the woods I just entered."

"Besides, I guess the woods here should lead to the top of the mountain. However, if we don't go to the top of the mountain, we won't go into the woods."

After hearing what Yun Yiyi said, Butcher Yun carefully checked around the pond and found that there were indeed many animal footprints, some of which were new and some of which were from previous times.

"Yiyi, this pool is probably where the animals in this mountain drink water. Looking at all these footprints, I don't think it's a good idea to stay here for too long."

"Especially animals like wild boars, they usually appear in groups. If we really encounter them, it is inevitable that someone will get hurt." Yun the Butcher said worriedly.

"Dad, I think so too. It's drought everywhere now, so not only are we short of water, but the wild animals in the mountains are also short of water."

"Dad, I've thought of a way to speed up our water intake. Give it a listen and see if it works."

"After we wait for the village chief to arrive, when we carry water down the mountain, we can divide the road into several sections and each person will only carry one section. This way, we will be much faster."

"Yiyi, please explain it more clearly so I can think it over."

Yun Yiyi pulled Yun the Butcher to sit on the ground. She drew a long line on the ground with a stick, and then divided the line into four segments.

"Dad, look, this is the way we get water. I've divided it into four sections. The first section is where someone fetches water from the pond and brings it to the fork in the road. The second section is where someone brings water from the fork in the road to where you gathered dead wood. The third section is where someone brings water from where you gathered firewood to where I met you."

"The fourth section is to transport the water from where I met you to our village. Dad, if this is the case, for the first section, since it's close to the pond, we can arrange for the least number of people to fetch water. The second and third sections will be for the men in the village. They are strong and powerful, and can walk fast."

"For the last section of the road, as we are getting closer to the camp, we can arrange for the women and children in the village to carry water together. This way, it will be much faster than just asking the men in the village to carry water back and forth." Yun Yiyi pointed to the line on the ground and said carefully.

"Yiyi, your idea is great. This way, not only can the men carry water, but the women and children in the village can also help carry water, which greatly increases the speed of water transportation."

"Haha, Yiyi, your little brain is getting more and more useful."
