Li Yu heard the words and a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
He nodded and said, "Alright, good, load it onto the vehicle."
Under the night sky.
Li Yu led Li Gang and others up to the dormitory building.
The dormitory building was illuminated by the lamps they brought, and with people moving back and forth, it seemed lively.
After entering the first floor, Li Yu checked room 101; the bedding was still there, only it had already become moldy and foul-smelling.
The wooden boards on the steel frame beds were rotten and infested with insects.
Li Yu pushed the steel frame bed; unable to move it, he figured it was still usable.
Looking around inside, he found a slightly clean bed and sat on it without wobbling.
He nodded and said to everyone, "Looks like we have beds to sleep on tonight."
Everyoneâs faces lit up with joy.
In Macheng, due to the limited space, there wasnât enough room for them to rest, so they could only pitch tents beside the vehicles.
Some even directly slept in their cars.
In such circumstances, having a bed to sleep on was quite good.
Everyone hurriedly cleaned up the dormitory building, choosing the third and fourth floors.
Not too high, not too low.
The third floor had a total of 20 rooms, each capable of sleeping eight people.
Same for the fourth floor.
With everyoneâs joint effort, it took less than an hour to clean out these areas.
The fourth floor was assigned to Zhong Chuchu and Ling Feng, and also Xiao Junâs team lived there to oversee.
Others stayed on the third floor.
As before, maintaining the rotating watch system, at night, Luo, Huang Zheng, Ju Tianrui, and Li Tie each led twenty people for duty.
Additionally, five people were specifically assigned to watch the vehicles and supplies.
In the night, after dinner, everyone returned to the dormitory to rest.
....
Through these two days of contact, Old Huangâs regard for Big Camphor Tree Base increased more and more; on the journey, from seeking a resting spot, clearing zombies, to night watch, everything was well-organized.
Even at the riverside before, they could retreat completely in sudden circumstances.
This team was very organized and united!
This is especially important in Doomsday.
Li Yu didnât sleep in the schoolâs dormitory building; he had a bed in the camper, which was 1.8 meters wide, and he used a Serta mattress, with excellent support, much more comfortable than sleeping on that steel frame bed.
He checked his watch, still only 7:30 in the evening.
The night had turned dark.
He moved a canvas chair beside the camper and watched the distant flames of zombie corpses burning.
Through the firelight, the outlines of two teaching buildings could be seen.
The plastic track on the playground had long been abandoned; the high heat melted and deformed it, and after being soaked in water, it was rotten beyond recognition.
Looking at this abandoned campus, Li Yu inexplicably recalled his past high school.
Back then, he was also a boarding student, always pondering what the future would be like; that period saw a fad of killer hairstyles he didnât keep, perhaps not wanting to draw attention to himself. Everyday, he just read novels in the dorm, with little social interaction, speaking rarely, quietly undisturbed, not wanting to disturb others either.
During boarding, his favorite time was the break-time exercises, because he could see the girl he liked.
That youth was always brief yet beautiful.
Confused but tinged with a sense of innocence.
Perhaps all high schools look alike; seeing the scene in front, Li Yuâs thoughts wavered with many reflections.
Faint smoke danced through his fingertips.
He took a drag of a cigarette and exhaled slowly.
A gust of wind blew by.
Luo, Ju Tianrui, and Li Tie walked over simultaneously.
Upon seeing Li Yu, Luo asked somewhat puzzledly, "Director Li, you just told us not to leave people at the Transfer Station, why?"
Ju Tianrui also asked somewhat uncertainly, "Thatâs right, otherwise what was the purpose of choosing this Transfer Station?"
Li Tie beside him also seemed puzzled, though he didnât speak directly, just looking at Li Yu, waiting for an explanation.
Li Yu frowned slightly; the Transfer Station had to exist, but he wasnât sure how much impact the typhoon would have here.
With his understanding of Ganshengâs terrain, the Big Camphor Tree Base is relatively safe since itâs situated in hilly areas.
More importantly, the Big Camphor Tree Base is in the mountains; when the typhoon comes, these mountains should reduce its power significantly.
Regarding the current location they chose, while surrounded by hills, the walls arenât high, and the gate is merely made of iron bars; he feared it wouldnât withstand the typhoon nor the Zombie Tide.
During a typhoon, itâs not just strong winds, but heavy rains; the combination is terrifying.
Thus, Li Yu mentioned during dinner with Ju Tianrui that they should leave here completely tomorrow.
After saying this, he left.
Unexpectedly, Luo and the others came to ask for reasons.
Li Yu pondered for a few seconds, resolutely told them, "Just do as I say! At this Transfer Station, after going to Oil City next time, send someone to stay. Donât ask about the rest."
His tone was filled with determination, leaving no room for questioning.
This was Li Yuâs first time issuing orders firmly.
Luo and Ju Tianrui wanted to say something but hesitated, though they did reply, "Alright, understood."
