Chapter 13: There's So Much Supplies!
Li Yu saw that the time was about right and prepared to stand up and respond.
In fact, to keep everyone's minds at ease and prevent wild speculation, the only way was to first solve the food problem. Otherwise, talking about anything else would be pointless.
One thing that put Li Yu at ease was that even though the food issue had just been exposed, everyone still seemed very united.
Li Yu was gratified.
Saving these relatives hadn't been in vain!
So he stood up and said from the center: "Everyone, follow me."
Everyone followed behind with puzzled looks, seeing what was hidden behind the villa.
The roll-up door was opened, revealing a deep underground passage.
When the warehouse doors were pulled open,
Everyone was stunned when they saw the dense array of supplies.
This... this is way too much!
Just the salt at the very front must be dozens of tons.
Various supplies were clearly categorized, piled up like mountains!
Everyone instantly felt reassured, and several younger brothers looked at Li Yu with admiring eyes.
Everything was understood without words.
Lai Dongsheng's family was also there. Since the decision was made to let them into the base,
it was because there was enough trust in them.
Rather than have the warehouse discovered later, it was better to openly display it now.
Li Yu kept one warehouse key for himself, and to prevent loss, he gave another to his mother Liu Fanghua for safekeeping.
No one had any objections, after all these supplies were all bought by Li Yu, so it was reasonable to let Liu Fanghua keep them.
After everyone had gone up, Li Yu specifically kept his father and younger brother Li Hang behind.
The two looked puzzled, not knowing what Li Yu wanted to tell them.
The white incandescent light in the underground passage shone on Li Yu's face.
There was still some zombie blood left on Li Yu's face, which looked a bit eerie under the light.
Li's father looked at Li Yu, feeling deep emotions.
This son of his was becoming harder and harder to understand.
Since returning from M City, a series of actions, his swift and decisive attitude, and his way of handling problems all showed his maturity and shrewdness. There were some things he still couldn't figure out even now.
But there was no need to think about it anymore, this was his own son after all, flesh and blood.
Li Yu was seen putting down his backpack, which he had never put down before.
Li Yu took out three handguns and eight magazines from the backpack.
Including the few bullets still in the guns, there were less than 100 bullets in total.
Seeing this, Li Hongyuan was stunned, pointing at the guns and asking: "Where did these guns come from?" But then he immediately thought: It's the end of the world now, it doesn't matter where the guns came from.
Moreover, having guns would allow them to better protect themselves.
Li Yu didn't look up and said, "Little Hang, you explain it to Dad."
After Li Hang finished describing, Li Hongyuan sighed: "Sigh, I didn't expect the city to become like this."
"It's not just the city, the whole world is like this now!" Li Yu said.
"Here!" Li Yu handed two of the guns, with the safeties on, to his father and brother respectively.
"It's the end of the world now, keep these guns for self-defense. I'll teach you how to use them in a bit," Li Yu said.
The two took the guns, both holding a gun for the first time. But Li Hang, still with a youthful mindset, started eagerly examining and playing with the gun as soon as he got it.
"Careful!" Li Yu told Li Hang not to touch the safety and briefly instructed the two on how to use them.
Then he gave them each a magazine.
After giving the guns to the two, Li Yu brought his father to a small door at the edge of the warehouse.
There was a lock on the door. After opening it, they saw bows, crossbows, swords and other cold weapons.
His father felt numb seeing these, he hadn't expected Li Yu to have made so many preparations.
But with the series of events today, he had already been surprised too many times.
So seeing these cold weapons, although strange, he accepted it.
Li Yu handed a spare set of keys to his father for safekeeping. From now on, the use of these weapons would be the father's responsibility.
In Li Yu's plan, his mother would manage the warehouse, his father would watch over the weapons, this way his own leadership would be stable enough.
After instructing all this, the three returned to the villa's living room.
Everyone was still there, and Li Yu started to lay out some plans.
Now there were over twenty people in the base, big and small. With Lai Dongsheng's family, there were nearly thirty people in total.
"Now zombies are everywhere. Although we have high walls, we still need to remain vigilant at all times.
Dad, Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Uncle Lai, Brother-in-law, Little Hang, the seven of us will take turns guarding at the watchtower by the gate. Dad, go turn on the high-voltage electric fence later. Also."
Li Yu paused, looking at his cousins, and said: "It's the end of the world now! Even the youngest of you is 16 years old. You need to take on responsibilities too! Haoyu, arrange a schedule and take your brothers to watch the monitoring room. Report any abnormalities immediately!"
Second Uncle's eldest son Li Haoyu nodded. Like Li Hang, he had followed Li Yu around since childhood with a runny nose, and hadn't been beaten less by Li Yu either.
But the more he was beaten, the deeper their bond grew!
After speaking, Li Yu took out the walkie-talkies he had prepared earlier.
Then he said again: "Mom, Aunt, Aunt, Aunt, Aunt Xiumei, you take the kids at home and handle some household matters. If you have any problems, ask Grandpa and the others."
Then, seeing Li Yuan staring at him expectantly, Li Yu ignored her.
After giving these general instructions, no one had any objections.
It was fair and just, moreover, the base was all built by young Li Yu.
Everyone dispersed to attend to the tasks just assigned.
Li Yu stood at the villa's doorway lost in thought, looking at the sky outside, which was still pitch black.
It had been nearly 48 hours of darkness from the day before yesterday until today.
Just then, he suddenly felt someone approaching from behind. Through his peripheral vision, he saw it was his aunt.
So he didn't pay much attention.
His aunt was ten years older than him and had always been his nemesis since childhood.
With a tigress personality, she had always been loud and brash, only becoming more restrained after getting married.
His aunt looked at Li Yu's furrowed brow with some heartache.
"Little Yu, you've matured a lot and can handle things now. But don't put too much pressure on yourself," his aunt said with a teasing smile, a smile that held care and concern.
"Haha, don't worry," Li Yu said with a slight smile.
"Don't stress too much, keep your heart open," his aunt said, knowing Li Yu had grown up now, but still caring for him as before.
...
The two chatted for a while longer, talking about the past, and the atmosphere lightened considerably.
She saw Li Yu's worried expression and wanted to help him relax a bit through this kind of conversation...
The two had an extremely good relationship, just sitting on the steps nearby, chatting casually.
Suddenly, it became quiet, time seeming to stop for a few seconds.
His aunt slowly said: "Little Yu, we're so lucky to have you."
Li Yu patted his aunt's head, smiling and saying: "Don't worry, Brother Yu will take care of you."
"You little rascal, asking for a beating?" His aunt pretended to hit him, but Li Yu skillfully dodged.
After his aunt left, Li Yu looked into the distance, faintly able to make out the outlines of two mountains.
The night remained dark.
According to his memories of his previous life, the apocalypse should have arrived on the 25th. But looking at the current situation, it seemed to have broken out much earlier, though he vaguely remembered that the government only notified the public on the 25th.
November 25th, that super rainstorm had killed many people.
Happy Dragon Boat Festival~
