Months.

Hidden among the lush green mountains.

An enormous wall enclosed dozens of mu of wooded hills and farmland.

There were also three watchtowers.

Viewed from the mountain, it looked rather like a rural tourist attraction.

One would discover that this was actually a sturdy fortress.

The heavy ears of rice bent the stalks.

The old camphor tree was still lush and green.

They would probably be ready to harvest in another month or two.

Li Yu had also planted pomelo, navel orange, pear, peach, kiwi, loquat, papaya, persimmon, and other fruit trees on the mountain.

So many of the trees had yet to bear fruit.

It belonged to the evergreen broadleaf forest bioclimatic zone.

They had planted a little of just about everything.

What a beautiful mountain pond.

Li Yu had even built three small fishing boats. Many willows had been planted around them.

Drifting catkins and blossoms lent their charm to the distant sky.

The sight of willow catkins floating through the air.

Li Yu also wanted to create a haven away from the world.

A single-story house. The interior work was essentially complete.

So he could only build a small one.

It gave him an inexplicable sense of security.

But from Li Hongyuan and Liu Fanghua's perspective, things were not quite so wonderful.

They had been worrying about it all along.

Standing on the lookout platform at the mountaintop.

A wide variety of fruit trees had been planted without sacrificing the scenery.

Each had its own place among the wooded hills.

Watching an old hen lead a flock of chicks as they foraged beneath a tree.

Chinese rural dogs.

Seeing the wooden dock and the three quaint little fishing boats.

There was even a small pavilion built in the middle of the bamboo grove.

An extraordinary talent, a dragon among men.

A boulder measuring meters.

An air of rustic elegance greeted them.

The layout was divided into zones.

The biogas digester and septic tank below made good use of the manure produced by the livestock.

Seeing a field of heavy rice ears swaying.

There were also some recreational facilities up there.

Forming a small pool of clear spring water.

At that moment, the couple, Liu Fanghua and Li Hongyuan, felt.

Perhaps the rural tourism base their son Li Yu had built really would draw plenty of visitors.

They probably could not use it all up in ten lifetimes.

Li Yu's extended family was quite large. They had been helping with construction at the base lately. His other uncles all worked away from home.

The way Li Hongyuan chose names was a family tradition. A bright future ahead.

He was the youngest in the family. Only ten years older than Li Yu.

He was doted on by all his uncles. Harmony at home brought prosperity in everything.

The family atmosphere was also quite good. There had never been any feuding between brothers.

Later, she met his maternal grandfather. Overall, that side of the family was much better off than Li Yu's paternal grandparents' side.

He had remained in the county town, serving as the commander of an armed police squadron. His youngest maternal aunt.

But there were quite a few people in the family, too.

He still remembered how his eldest uncle's wife often brought over milk, fruit, and things like that every week.

They had always treated Li Yu well.

He still had not come up with a good solution.

He absolutely would not reveal that the apocalypse was approaching.

That way, he would not end up going to all that trouble only to earn resentment.

That was definitely impossible. They should stop running around.

One person would be easy enough to deal with. Dozens would be much harder.

But they did not know exactly what Li Yu was doing at home.

They only knew that Li Yu had started a business at home.

Coming home for a family reunion.

They might not make it home in time.

And offer a few suggestions while they were at it.

The two families could get together.

Li Yu chatted with his parents at the dinner table.

"Building this tourism base. They could offer a few suggestions when the time comes, too."

"Who knows how long it'll take to recoup the investment?"

He sensed his father's concern. It might even bring unnecessary trouble.

Perhaps they would feel fortunate that he had built this base so early.

In the blink of an eye, the National Day holiday arrived.
