Chapter 213 205: Get Some Sleep
These people, none of them exceeded Li Yu's expectations.
The only one who exceeded his expectations was Yutong. He didn't expect that Yutong, whether in temperament or combat ability, would exhibit far more strength than an ordinary person.
Having only recently come into contact with firearms, her spear skills were already incredibly accurate.
Plus, she had already learned some fighting techniques before the apocalypse, and her current close-combat level was also quite remarkable.
Most of the time, she would quietly listen to others talk, but sometimes, she would provide Li Yu with some ideas, ideas that he had not considered before—very detailed, yet potentially problematic issues.
As for the other people at the base, they also witnessed the cruelty of the post-apocalyptic world through repeated crises.
Becoming stronger.
After entering the base, Second Uncle and Third Uncle, stepped forward.
They were somewhat concerned, seeing that Li Yu's expression was still as unfathomably calm. The two exchanged a look.
After pondering for a few seconds, Second Uncle spoke, "Li Yu, did you find them this time?"
Hearing this, Li Yu nodded and said, "Found them. They're in Jiefang City."
Before setting off this time, Li Yu had already spoken with Second Uncle and the others.
"Did Jiefang City release the people?" Second Uncle's eyes were fixed intently on Li Yu.
"Well, how should I put it? I killed those few ringleaders, and I haven't touched the others for now," Li Yu replied.
Upon hearing this, Second Uncle heaved a long sigh of relief. His fear was that Li Yu, in a moment of impulsiveness, would fall out with Jiefang City and then kill all of its people.
Although, in this post-apocalyptic world, the lines between good and evil were blurred, if innocent people were killed, it would unsettle the people.
Especially for leaders, their actions needed to be convincing.
That way, the team would be easier to lead, people's hearts wouldn't waver, and humanity wouldn't descend into depravity.
Third Uncle was observant and his gaze flickered. He saw a trace of fatigue in Li Yu's eyes.
So, he said to Li Yu, "Alright, you should also get some rest early. There have been too many things happening lately. Take a good rest. Everything is taken care of by us."
After speaking, he patted Li Yu's shoulder.
Li Yu trembled slightly.
He responded with an "okay."
Then he went back to his residence. It was too dry now; had it been any other time after returning to the base, he would have definitely taken a bath. However, water was now a major issue.
Thus, he could only pour a little water to wipe his body clean of the dust, mud, and sweat.
After cleaning himself, he changed into a comfortable and lightweight Fenteng homewear. When not killing zombies or people, in this safe and stable environment, putting on such a set of comfortable, smooth, and thin homewear.
Made him feel very comfortable.
Mmm, it was a bit hot, so he turned on the air conditioning.
Under this blazing sun, solar energy was in abundant supply, and the batteries were fully charged.
With plenty of electricity, everyone could freely use air conditioning to cool down.
It was only July now, and the weather would get even hotter in August.
After turning on the air conditioner, a cool breeze blew in.
He lay down comfortably on the recliner. The recliner was soft yet resilient, and after he won the lottery, he used those millions to leverage resources worth hundreds of millions.
He bought a lot of supplies, and even for the daily-use equipment he purchased, he opted for high-quality items.
Even this recliner cost a pretty penny.
His head slowly leaned back, swaying gently.
With a touch of his right hand, he activated a pre-downloaded media player.
It played some relaxing and pleasant songs, instrumental without lyrics.
Instrumental songs allowed him to relax even more.
The breeze was gentle, the curtains were open, and the room was bright. Through the window, the remnants of the scorching sun were still present.
Originally, when constructing the entire villa, his room was made quite large, including an 8-square-meter balcony, a bathroom, and a projector.
The room adds up to almost 40 square meters, not small at all.
In an apocalyptic world, besides safety, one must also consider comfort.
Within the walls of the base, a lower perimeter wall was also built around the residential area.
Listening to soft music, Li Yu squinted his eyes, wanting to think about nothing at that moment. He just wanted to be quiet for a while.
At dinner time, Li Yuan came up to call him, and he had just taken a nap.
He was now full of spirit, as if completely restored.
He stretched lazily and patted Li Yuan on the head.
Li Yuan, touching her head, pouted and said, "Brother, I'm not a kid anymore."
Li Yu laughed and said, "Haha, you're not a kid, you're a big kid now."
Li Yuan was at a loss for words.
Suddenly, she remembered to say, "Brother, today I want to invite Sister Yutong, Sister Xiyue, Sister Xiaozhu..., to watch a movie and play Werewolf together. Are you coming?"
On hearing this, Li Yu, uh...
After thinking about it, he finally said, "Forget it, I want to rest well tonight. You guys have fun."
Yang Xiaozhu has liked following him around since she was little, and she has always had a crush on him as she grew up, something he was aware of, but most of the time, he saw her as a sister.
And then there's Xiyue, who also seems to have a bit of a crush on him.
Kind of troublesome...
Now all of them gathered, it's not a game, it's a battlefield.
In this situation, not going is the best choice.
"By the way, brother, I think I just saw Song Min, Sister Song, coming over with Dapao. It seems like they have something going on. Hehehe." Li Yuan had a gossipy look, her eyes sparkling.
Li Yu was somewhat speechless, are all women this gossipy?
Another cuff on the head, he said, "Mind your own business, even if they are together, so what?"
Among the younger generation, Ding Jiu's daughter Ding Qingqing has a thing for Li Hang, and now it seems that Song Min and Dapao also have something going on.
It's not necessarily a bad thing.
For dinner, we had steamed spicy dried small fish and fried fish. With the water levels decreasing lately, eating some fish appropriately also means leaving some living space for them.
After dinner, Li Yuan took some people to play in the underground amusement room. Li Yu greeted them briefly and then walked up the mountain.
Every time any worries weighed on his mind, a walk in the mountains always made him feel a lot better.
By the lake in the mountains.
The night, a gentle breeze.
Peaceful.
The night sky was bright, stars twinkling.
He took out a bottle of white liquor and some peanuts from his pocket.
Just lying on a big rock, he took a sip of liquor and ate a couple of peanuts.
The peanuts were fried by his mother, fragrant, crispy, and crunchy with a bite.
The white liquor was the classic 53-degree sauce-flavored type, he took a swig in one go.
The fragrance of the liquor, the smoky aroma of the peanuts mixed together, creating a simple yet unique flavor.
This flavor is that of the world, of life, and also of the common folk's taste of life after meals.
After drinking to a slight buzz, Li Yu stopped drinking.
Li Yu never drank himself into oblivion; he only enjoyed the feeling of being lightly tipsy.
He exhaled slowly, looking up at the stars and overlooking the distant plains.
His heart swelled with pride.
With a smile, Li Yu packed up, humming a tune as he headed back to his room to sleep.
What do you think?
