Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

The storage capacity of this reservoir is less than one-tenth of the Mountain Pond.

But it has one feature: the bottom of the reservoir is coated with cement, and above it there’s also a greenhouse-like structure creating an enclosed space.

You could say this reservoir is sealed.

When Li Yu went over just now, the reservoir hadn’t been affected.

So the water in it is one hundred percent usable.

Li Yu thought for a moment, then continued, ”It just rained, groundwater is plentiful. If it really doesn’t work, we’ll use groundwater.

As for the water in the Mountain Pond, drain all of it. If there are Zombies inside that we haven’t spotted, it won’t be safe for us to go near the Mountain Pond.”

”Alright.” When Third Uncle heard Li Yu say this, the burden in his heart disappeared.

Stability comes first.

After the typhoon and heavy rain, water isn’t in short supply.

The key is that nothing can go wrong with the Mountain Pond.

So he turned to the equally conflicted Dapao and said, ”Xiao Yu said to open the gates and release the water, drain it all.”

Dapao didn’t hesitate after hearing Third Uncle say that.

He and Song Min and the others opened the lowest sluice gate of the Mountain Pond.

The lake water, which was already starting to overflow, began to surge out in a torrent.

It rushed into the sewers.

Discharging toward the cliff outside the Big Camphor Tree Base.

...

In the Third Outer City.

Looking at the cleaned-up Outer City, Luo picked up the walkie-talkie to contact Li Yu: ”The Outer City has been cleared. What do we do next?”

At that moment, Li Yu had just finished replying to Third Uncle and happened to be walking up to the wall with Yang Tianlong.

”Stay where you are for now. Mm, right, report the damage to the greenhouses, and you can start rebuilding the damaged ones.”

After hearing Li Yu’s words.

He looked up at Ju Tianrui and asked, ”Over in the Second Outer City, how many greenhouses were damaged?”

”Just one, half of it collapsed.”

”Good.” Luo nodded.

Then, looking at the greenhouses in the Third Outer City, he said to Li Yu, ”One was destroyed in the First outer city, one in the Second Outer City. In the Third Outer City... two were destroyed. Four greenhouses collapsed in total.”

Li Yu had already received word from Dapao that five greenhouses in the Inner City had been damaged, making a total of nine damaged greenhouses.

Sigh.....

That’s at least twenty-five mu of crops.

In terms of the total planting area of the Big Camphor Tree Base, that’s one-ninth.

Fortunately, the Underground Plantation took no damage this time.

A one-ninth loss is something the Big Camphor Tree Base can still bear.

It’s just rather vexing.

Natural disasters and man-made calamities.

After this natural disaster, the damage was this severe.

Even the Big Camphor Tree Base, which had barely been affected during the Doomsday, was shrouded in a layer of gloom.

After Li Yu and Yang Tianlong reached the wall, they followed along it and dealt with two Zombies.

Time ticked by, minute by minute.

Two hours later.

Aside from the Mountain Pond area, everywhere else had been swept seven or eight times, and the sewers had also been inspected. No sign of Zombies had been found.

So Li Yu issued the order to open up.

He allowed those who had been staying indoors to come out.

But once they came out, he still had them conduct another thorough inspection of the entire Big Camphor Tree Base.

If any Zombie was found, they were to deal with it together.

This order to sweep and check for Zombies continued until after five in the evening.

Better safe than sorry.

No one complained about this; after all, with Zombies nearby, they couldn’t feel at ease either.

....

Guangdong Province.

Guang City.

After the typhoon.

Clouds and mist coiled in the sky. From high above, the city’s buildings loomed in and out of the fog. Steam-like mist surged upward, breathtakingly beautiful, like an immortal realm.

A pair of hands reached out of the bathtub and hovered in the air for a few seconds.

Only when he felt no wind did Brother Dong slowly poke his head out.

Looking around, only three walls were left.

Broken junk was scattered everywhere.

Brother Dong’s face was pale, partly from the cold and partly from hunger.

He hadn’t eaten anything for several days in a row.

”Xiao Feng, you there? Anyone still here?”

After he climbed out of the bathtub, his body was so weak that he staggered and swayed.

He shouted with all his strength, but heard no response from his underlings.

Grief surged up in him.

He walked toward the living room.

The bathroom door had already been blown away by the wind.

When he stepped out of the bathroom, the sight before his eyes stunned him.

The building, which had been an extremely luxurious hotel—tiled walls, carpet on the floor......

Had become a building that looked as if it were still under construction.

The whole building had only some shear walls and load-bearing columns left.

The glass, the doors, and some of the thinner walls were all gone.

The stuff inside had long since vanished as well.

Even the staircase going down was only hanging on in short, broken sections.

Shivering, he slowly walked to the edge of the building.

Standing at that height, he looked down.

The floodwaters had risen to the height of the fourth floor.

Some of the surrounding buildings had probably been shoddy construction; entire buildings had collapsed.

Those that remained were not much better than the one he was in, with only the rough skeleton still standing.

Ruins and broken walls.

Now this is what you really call ruins and broken walls.

Brother Dong’s face was full of shock.

He didn’t recover for a long time.

As a Coastal area where the typhoon made landfall, the impact here had been the fiercest.

He knew this typhoon was no joke.

He knew just how terrifying it was.

But he hadn’t known it could cause damage this severe.

With the whole city like this, how was he supposed to search for supplies later, how was he supposed to survive?

All the food he’d had, all his supplies, were gone.

Even his underlings were all gone.

More importantly, even getting downstairs now wasn’t an easy thing.

It was so high up, and parts of the stairs below were damaged.

”Just wipe everything out already, hurry up!”

Brother Dong closed his eyes and collapsed onto the floor.

...

The impact of the raging typhoon went beyond what many people had imagined.

Especially along the Coastal areas, where the impact was several times worse than inland.

Da Ya.

Near the Nuclear Power Station.

The enclosing wall that had originally sealed the area had collapsed, and the Zombies outside wandered in aimlessly.

A few hours later.

A few Zombies were now glowing with radioactive light all over. Their walking speed hadn’t changed, but their radiation was extremely strong.

As long as your skin came into contact with this kind of Zombie, it basically meant you’d be dead within two months.

The closer a Zombie had been to the nuclear leak point, the stronger the radiation it had received.

.....

Big Camphor Tree Base.

Third Uncle and the others had been staying at the edge of the Mountain Pond, keeping watch on any movement in the pond.

The Mountain Pond held a huge volume of water; even with all the drainage outlets opened, it would take half a day to empty.

Third Uncle and the others had been waiting from three in the afternoon until two in the morning.

After nightfall, they brought over several searchlights without hesitation, illuminating the entire Mountain Pond.

The water level kept dropping.

And it was falling faster and faster.

Finally, at two-thirty in the middle of the night.

Only a small puddle remained in the center of the Mountain Pond.

It was all muddy sludge.

The water level had dropped to its lowest point and could no longer be drained.

But still no Zombies had been found.

So they pressed a raft down onto the mud and put a pump into the puddle to pump the remaining water out.
