A Cool Breeze Blows Over the Mountain

At six o'clock the next morning, Li Yu's biological clock woke him up. He put on his sportswear and started running around the base.

After coming out of the villa, he did a simple warm-up and ran up the mountain. The morning wind was very cool, and the traces of water vapor on his face made Li Yu even more awake.

Passing by the cobblestone path, there was a garden that had been built previously. The garden was filled with flowers, the evergreen trees were still green, and there was a faint fragrance of osmanthus. Although the fragrance of the four seasons laurel was not very strong, it was blooming all year round.

Looking at the osmanthus flowers on the osmanthus tree, Li Yu was in an unusually good mood. He thought to himself that he could pluck the osmanthus flowers and make wine in two days.

The morning dew made Li Yu's pants slightly damp. He ran from the flat road to the forest. The forest was diverse. In the subtropical season, there were almost no signs of withered trees.

He moved about in the forest. His running speed and flat ground were not inferior at all.

A mountain passed by, and when they reached the foot of the pond, they saw a figure.

He slowed down and walked in. It was his paternal grandpa, Li Yushi. He was in his sixties, but his body was still strong. For someone of the older generation like him, he had been busy for most of his life. It was as if he was at a loss for what to do.

Therefore, he still liked to work on that acre of land. His paternal grandpa had probably woken up very early and was now feeding fish grass by the mountain pond.

Li Yu ran past and greeted, "Grandpa, are you feeding the fish so early in the morning?"

Li Yushi turned around with a smile on his face. When he saw Li Yu running, he was a little used to it. In the past few months, Li Yu had come out to exercise every morning. Other than the ten-day rainstorm, he had come out to run almost every day.

Li Yushi smiled and nodded without saying anything. He looked at Li Yu with gratification.

After passing through the pond, they ran to another mountain. Li Yu reached the top of the mountain. His forehead was slightly sweaty. Looking at the entire base, he was very satisfied.

A cool breeze blew over the hill, two mountains, and a lake.

He built a city that stood tall, isolated from the calamities of the world.

In just a few decades, time should not lay it to waste.

The Peach Blossom Spring was located in a place where one could relax and enjoy life.

Saving the world? He wasn't interested. Saving the dying and helping the injured in the apocalypse? It was too tiring.

He chose a remote corner, a place that was difficult for ordinary people to find. Wasn't it good to farm when he was busy and fish and drink on the lake when he was free? Wasn't it good to live such a life?

The law of the dark forest was that the strong preyed on the weak. Li Yu understood this, but the path to the peak was too difficult. Furthermore, the tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind. The wind on the mountain was very cold.

The higher one stood, the greater the power, and the greater the risk. In the end, they would die more miserably. Moreover, most of them had died on the way up.

Maybe he was running away, but he hoped that the crisis wouldn't come too soon. At that moment, Li Yu had an idea. The base didn't need to be too big. The most important thing was to gather the people.

Hidden in the forest, they were strong on the outside and united on the inside.

If an extremely powerful outsider really attacked one day, he would burn the base first and burn it to the ground, preventing others from obtaining any benefits. Then, he would use his life to take revenge.

In any case, surviving in the apocalypse, selling one's soul for a mouthful of food at the lowest level was not very meaningful.

Li Yu's personality was like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard. He was brave enough to face any consequences, so he was naturally fearless. People who liked to flip tables had never been threatened by anything. They were fearless!

He was selfish but also selfless.

Shaking his head, Li Yu didn't think too much about it for the time being. He decided to live in the present.

He ran back to the villa and was about to return to the bathroom to take a hot bath.

When he saw his second uncle who had just woken up, he pondered for a moment and walked forward to ask, "How was your conversation last night? Did you see anything?"

Second Uncle frowned slightly and thought for a while before saying, "It's about the same as what Yang Tianlong introduced previously. I don't know if it's because he's pretending too deeply, or if it's because of his personality. I feel that Dapao is a little silly."

Hearing that, Li Yu also fell into deep thought. On the other side, his second uncle continued, "But he shouldn't be bad by nature. Tianlong is still the same as before. They were unprepared when they drank last night. I'll observe him again in the future."

Li Yu nodded and smiled at his second uncle. "It's time to let Haoxian, Haoran, and the others be on duty. We should nurture them more."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "Tomorrow, Uncle, teach them how to use a gun."

Second Uncle had no objections when he heard this. When Li Yu returned to his room and saw Little Xuanxuan running to his room again, black lines instantly appeared on his forehead.

Didn't he f*cking ask her to go back to her room to sleep last night?!

He sighed and couldn't be bothered.

....

At noon, Zhao Dapao and the others came out of the bungalows.

Li Yu called for lunch. When Yang Tianlong saw Li Yu's family of more than 30 people eating together, he was even more surprised.

It was the apocalypse, but there were still so many vegetables and meat. More importantly, there were still fish!

Yang Tianlong, who had not had a good meal for a long time, did not stand on ceremony. Without needing anyone to say anything, he took a big bowl of rice.

Seeing this, Li Yu smiled and asked Zhao Dapao to take a seat. There was no need for formalities here.

In his free time, Li Yu asked the Li brothers, Zhao Dapao, Yang Tianlong, and his uncle to teach the younger generation some martial arts.

Everyone was very enthusiastic. Even Li Suxin was practicing with a straight face.

....

Good times always passed quickly. Unknowingly, Yang Tianlong and the others had joined the base for a month.

Over the past month, Yang Tianlong and the others had also integrated into the base. In the entire base, everyone lived in harmony. Sometimes, they went up the mountain to pick fruits, sometimes they fished on the lake, and sometimes they enjoyed the wind at the top of the mountain.

Li Yuan and Yang Xiaozhu often hung out in the underground cinema and watched some movies and dramas together. The two of them had a very good relationship before. After this apocalypse, the relationship between the two sisters became even stronger.

However, she wasn't that friendly to the younger Li Suxin, the booger-picking boy, Zhang Zhixing, Zhang Zhenni, and Little Xuanxuan.

Lai Xiyue took out some of the teaching materials from before and started teaching them and assigning homework. Li Yu had always advocated pragmatism for the education of the younger generation. Although he regularly gave them some lessons on facing zombies and human nature, they still had to learn basic literacy and arithmetic.

As for the older juniors, Li Yu had previously hoarded all kinds of books to let them learn some skills that could be used in the apocalypse.

Sometimes, Li Yu would bring his younger brothers and sisters to open a small door and kill some zombies around the wall to improve their physical fitness and reaction speed.

As the number of kills increased, everyone was no longer afraid of zombies, and their methods of killing zombies became more sophisticated.

In the past month, the smile on Zhao Dapao's face had also increased a lot. However, when he occasionally saw Li Yu's family around, he would look out of the window in the middle of the night and miss his family.

...

January 5th, it was drizzling and there was a slight breeze. It was a little cold.

Li Hang, who was on duty, was reading a novel on his phone while looking outside the wall.

Suddenly, he saw dense shadows from afar. He thought that his eyes were blurry and rubbed his eyes to take a closer look.

Dense zombies surged out of the forest in an endless stream…
