Li Yu charged forward.
In an instant, he became a human butcher.
Beheading was simple, quick, and efficient.
At that moment, he was scrambling toward the woods.
The blond punk, meters away.
He stuck the blade into the ground.
He barely even aimed.
The arrow seemed to have eyes of its own.
The blond punk toppled straight forward.
He did not even move the body.
Li Yu said in a low voice.
Beside him, his second uncle and Uncle Lai still had lingering shock in their eyes.
"Remember to retrieve it."
"Oh, right." Li Hang obediently ran over and pulled it out.
Then, showing some quick thinking, he collected the gold ring, watch, and other valuables from the corpse on the ground.
Gold was valuable.
The kid was not scared at all anymore.
Li Yu felt a little worried.
Li Yu thought to himself.
He shook his head and stopped letting his thoughts wander.
He closed the gate.
The solid steel gate made a grating noise.
It still did not feel good enough.
There was no one up there anymore.
They joined the watch rotation.
He also assigned Li Yuan, several of his younger female cousins, and Uncle Lai's daughter to shifts in the surveillance room.
Cooking alone required two or three people.
There was also a vegetable garden covering one mu. They had never been short of vegetables.
Li Yu told everyone to harvest all the vegetables.
They would then make them into pickles or preserve them in salt.
Day. Torrential rain.
The downpour had begun in the early hours of the previous night.
It poured down onto the earth.
He had asked his father to build a good drainage system.
They had also installed an extremely thorough waterproofing layer.
The mountain pond between the two hills could store water as well.
But there had been no flooding.
Everyone's internet connection had gone down.
So they had received no news from the outside world during this time.
Many countries would be submerged.
They had narrowly escaped death.
The rain came down in a steady rush.
Listening to the rain actually felt quite comforting.
He had nearly died in the rain.
So the rainwater had not accumulated.
A great many people really would die.
People already short on supplies would have an even harder time enduring it.
But the zombies could not be drowned.
So this downpour also turned many cities into dead cities.
Less than a tenth of the world's population remained.
Going out was inconvenient for everyone.
Everyone stayed indoors.
They had enough electricity, too.
There were also some minors in the extended family.
All kinds of materials.
Of course, these included materials from kindergarten through high school.
So the younger children's education had not fallen behind.
On the fifth day after the downpour began.
There was still no sign of it stopping.
Everyone was getting a little restless from staying indoors.
TV dramas.
It was also a form of learning.
They did not have to worry about food or drink.
They could even watch cartoons whenever and wherever they wanted.
Of course, they still occasionally got scolded by their older sisters and Li Yu.
Li Yu said they needed to resume the children's education.
There were silent groans all around.
Li Yu also added a lesson on understanding zombies.
They could not get anything done.
And Li Yu had stockpiled hundreds of phones and computers early on.
What Li Yu had previously downloaded onto the hard drives.
Books and so on.
So their days were not dull.
There would be a group meeting.
Everyone summarized and reported on the current situation together.
Their bonds grew stronger, too.
Even Lai Dongsheng gradually became part of the extended family.
They respectfully called him Uncle Lai.
But in fact, he was a kindhearted older man.
Li Yu thought of his daughter.
She had been his classmate in elementary and middle school.
They had been very close as children.
Lai Xiyue had raised hers very well.
They would simply die of diarrhea.
Showing off the silkworms they raised had become popular among their classmates.
She had given them to Li Yu without asking for anything in return.
That had really let Li Yu steal the spotlight.
Li Yu would bring Lai Xiyue little snacks every few days.
