Chapter 199 Waterway Plan
It was raining heavily outside, the raindrops hitting us like steel balls, making it impossible to continue on our journey.
Liu Yu and his team had no choice but to stay in the building for three days. During these three days, the sky outside was basically dark both during the day and at night.
It gives people a very depressing feeling. I wonder how many survivors have lost their lives in such a flood...
During these three days, Liu Yu's team was not just waiting around. On the first night after moving into the building, Chen Jiahao discovered that Huanhuan was sick.
Huanhuan, who followed closely behind Lingbao, was very well behaved. She didn't make a sound or make any noise, so much so that Chen Jiahao only noticed when she had a high fever at night and her little face turned red and hot.
No wonder when the wooden door opened earlier, everyone was choked by the stench, but Huanhuan didn't react at all. He must have had a blocked nose and couldn't smell anything...
It's really funny and heartbreaking.
Thanks to Liu Yu's careful consideration before the end of the world, he prepared a large amount of medicine and fed the child antipyretic medicine in time to bring down the high fever.
In the following days, everyone paid close attention to the flood situation outside, fearing that the flood would reach the third floor one night.
This state of anxiety lasted for three days, until the fourth day after moving into the building, when the elderly and sleepy Grandma Yang looked out the glass window and saw the brightness outside.
Although it was only five in the morning, the light outside was already the brightest it had been in the past few days.
Grandma Yang was so surprised that she couldn't help but lean against the window and look for a long time.
Then Li Guangzong and Xu Yang yawned, picked up their swords and went downstairs with their eyes half closed.
As I went down the stairs, before I reached the second floor, I saw three zombies clinging to the outside of the steel fence. I killed them with a knife and took out the crystal cores, and then I felt a little more sober.
After three days of heavy rain, the flood has risen to the second floor. The door on the first floor was washed open by the surging waves. The zombies wrapped in the water will not drown and will naturally float up with the water.
So Chen Shuhao sealed the staircases on the second and third floors with metal to prevent the zombies from climbing up. Everyone took turns clearing out the zombies that gathered outside the steel fence every morning.
After the apocalypse, no one had the habit of sleeping in. So within an hour, the team was basically all together, and the sun finally broke through the layers of dark clouds and shone brightly.
At this moment, everyone was sitting by the window with their bowls in hand, basking in the sunshine. They had never felt the sunshine so warm.
A few days ago, the sun would have peeled people's skin. But after being trapped in the dark and humid environment for so long, everyone felt like they were willing to die in the sun.
The gloomy weather brought not only coldness but also a consuming despair. Even Li Guangzong, a natural optimist, wasn't as cheerful these days.
But now he was fully recovered and was eating in the sun.
Liu Yu was thinking about his schedule for the next few days.
To be honest, based on the road conditions before the apocalypse, one day would be enough to travel from City S to City B.
But after the apocalypse, the metropolis had completely fallen, and the number of zombies in the city was so great that she had no intention of challenging them. Moreover, a large base number of zombies meant a high probability of evolution.
No one expected that there would be any difficult-to-deal-with dangers in a city where millions of zombies gathered, so they had been circling around the suburbs.
The distance was much longer. According to the route map given by Zhou Zhenghao, she estimated that it would take at least half a month to reach City B.
If there is an unexpected delay on the road, it may take more than a month.
However, this unexpected flood gave her a new idea. Although there were many dangers under the water, the raised water surface avoided the abandoned vehicles and debris that were congested underground.
Even if there are floating objects on the water surface, it is still much better than the situation on the ground.
It seems that actively utilizing this flood may speed up the plan to reach City B.
"What do you think of the plan I just proposed?" Liu Yu told everyone his idea of using flood water to travel and asked for everyone's opinions.
Li Guangzong held a hot fried chive dumpling in one hand and a delicious red bean paste bun in the other, eating them ravenously while mumbling, "Okay, no problem!"
His starving appearance made Xiao Huang, who was just eating meat, despise him.
Everyone then expressed their opinions. Most agreed, and a few were just worried about unexpected situations and equipment problems. The overall opinion was to advocate setting off.
Only Zhuang Moxing remained silent, staring at the shimmering water outside the window in deep thought.
However, in the Spark Team, Liu Yu cared most about his ideas. After listening to everyone's opinions and suggestions, he waited for him to speak.
Seeing Zhuang Moxing staring at the stagnant water outside, Liu Yu couldn't help but walk over and follow his gaze. "What's wrong? Is there anything unusual?"
Zhuang Moxing clasped his hands around the black sword, his gaze fixed on a sharp fin that appeared and disappeared in the distance. He said, "That must be the mutant animal you mentioned earlier."
Liu Yu focused his gaze and immediately spotted the seemingly sharp fins. He replied calmly, "It's highly likely, but global species mutation is an inevitable fact. In the future, there will only be more mutant animals and possibly plants. We can't hide from them all. We can only keep facing them, figure out their weak spots, and make sure they're no longer a threat."
The firmness and fearlessness in Liu Yu's words attracted Zhuang Moxing's attention. The look in his eyes as he looked at Liu Yu's profile was as tight as if it were wrapped around a thread.
