In order to make drainage in the base smoother, Xu Zhen dug deeper into the low areas around the drainage outlet and added five or six drainage platforms.

A lot of rainwater has accumulated on these drainage platforms.

So this afternoon, Li Yu asked Xu Zhen to immediately turn the drainage channel to another direction.

These five or six drainage platforms that accumulated rainwater were simply repaired on the original basis and directly built into several small reservoirs.

In addition, over the mountain pond, the spillway was closed after the heavy rain.

Take a walk on the fence while watching the sunset.

The sunset after a heavy rain is also particularly beautiful.

There are still some water stains on the wall. Under the setting sun, the wall looks like it is stacked with gold. It looks majestic, solemn, solemn, and luxurious.

The water on the fence slowly dries under the sun's rays.

Li Yu was walking while thinking about the base's next plans and arrangements:

The heavy rain has lasted for so long, and the food previously stored by the collaborators and non-staff personnel in the outer city has long been consumed.

The Da Zhangshu Base couldn't just watch them starve to death, so it adopted the previous method of giving them some food in advance, and after the heavy rain was over, they would go out to perform tasks, collect some usable materials, and exchange them.

.

This approach has also won the gratitude and recognition of many cooperators, who all said that they would go out to perform tasks immediately after the flood was over.

However, Li Yu knew that such a large flood covered a wide area, and many electronic instruments were soaked in water and could not be used again.

If you want to find some usable supplies, you can only look further afield.

But no matter what, the heavy rain and floods are over, allowing them to take a breath for the time being.

The next step is to recuperate and start the development mode.

During the heavy rain, someone also suggested to Li Yu that since they were all given to the food cooperation staff, he might as well accept them all as non-staff personnel.

But the most critical reason for being rejected by Li Yu was because of food.

Suddenly there are more than a thousand extra staff members, which is equivalent to more than a thousand more mouths.

Every day you open your eyes, you need to eat.

But now it is only in a cooperative capacity, so the Da Zhangshu Base does not need to provide them with food.

Even though they were given some food this month, they had to pay back by performing tasks.

In short, Dazhangshu Base has absolute dominance and no responsibility.

If these people do not perform enough tasks outside and starve to death, it is because they lack ability. We can also eliminate some weaker teams and select stronger teams.

The reality is very cruel, but there is no lasting mercy in the end of the world.

The base itself has not been affected by flooding, and underground drainage is smooth.

Except for a few places where the original low flat land has been slightly revised, there is still some water.

In other places, with the sun's exposure, the ground gradually becomes dry.

At the foot of the mountain, where flash floods washed away, a layer of silt was left.

Li Yu arranged for Xu Zhen, Deng Ben and others to clean up the silt and fill it into some planting areas based on Anya's advice.

After cleaning up the silt, the base will be clean.

The entire base's buildings look extremely clean.

…

One day later.

The flood level outside the base stopped rising and began to slowly fall.

………

Three days later.

The floods are no longer as strong as before, and the water level has also dropped by seven to eight meters.

The temperature also began to rise slowly, from the original two or three degrees above zero to ten degrees.

As the temperature rises, you can inadvertently see some weeds and wildflowers sprouting in the mountains and forests, and the trees that have survived tenaciously have quietly grown buds, green and trembling.

March and April are the time for spring growth.

In the base, most of the bamboo forest was originally dead due to the cold and drought.

However, it grew wildly during the heavy rain, and after the heavy rain ended, the bamboo was much taller than before, and bamboo shoots sprouted in large patches.

Aunt Zhou called many people to dig up a lot of spring bamboo shoots. There were too many spring bamboo shoots to eat, so she cut them into strips and dried them in the sun to make dried bamboo shoots.

Some mushrooms also grew in the mountains and forests, and Li Yu participated in the activity of collecting mushrooms, bathing in the long-lost sunshine and feeling the meaning of life amidst the laughter and laughter.

Anya also took people with her to start a new round of planting, raising seedlings, and relocating the seeds.

On this day, Li Yu saw his grandfather pushing a cart filled with straw and running to the pond early in the morning. After curious inquiry, he learned that his grandfather was going to feed the fish in the pond. So.

He also went over to help.

The old man is in good health, pulls the cart very steadily, and has a rosy complexion.

Originally, Li Yu wanted to pull the electric tricycle up directly, but his grandfather politely refused. Without asking for a reason, he just pushed it behind the cart.

…

Shantang.

There was no wind or ripples on the lake, and it was as calm as a flawless mirror.

Wow——

Grandpa scattered the dry straw down by the handful.

In an instant, the entire lake surface was like boiling hot water, and the fish hidden in the lake were jumping and tumbling, eating the straw that had just been scattered.

While the grandfather was spreading the fish, he said to Li Yu next to him: "Look at these fish, they have big heads and small bodies. They are all starving and thin."

Li Yu helped throw down the straw, feeling a little emotional in his heart: In such a cruel apocalypse, he has experienced high temperature, cold, volcanoes, heavy rain, acid rain...

But there are still many living beings still alive and strong.

Human beings are the primates of all things.

It is formed by gathering the essence of heaven and earth from all living things in the world. It is the most spiritual animal in heaven and earth.

Human beings with intelligence are better able to find ways to survive.

Sometimes, he also laments the tenacity of human beings.

…

He was feeding the fish here, watching the fish flipping around, and listening to his grandfather talking in his ears.

We talked about when we can plant peanuts and how delicious they are when pressed into oil. Occasionally we talked about how delicious the spring bamboo shoots dug yesterday can be fried with bacon.

He also said that this child Yutong is really good, and he is about to marry him home. Xiaohang has become a father, so you should hurry up too.

Li Yu looked calm and listened quietly to his grandfather's ramblings. The heavy responsibility of the base, which he had been carrying, made his impetuous and nervous heart calmer.

In the past life, before the end of the world, the nagging of family members who I once hated so much.

After the apocalypse broke out in his previous life, when he was living alone, he dreamed of returning to this scene countless times:

Lakeside, sun, grandpa, parents are short-lived.

At this time, he was really listening, but he felt like he was in a dream.

He cherished this moment very much.

…

"Xiaoyu, you should also take care of yourself." Suddenly, Grandpa suddenly said this.

Li Yu's whole body shook slightly.

Some people say that you won’t cry when you are angry, only when you are wronged.

What is grievance? This feeling occurs when you are treated and criticized undeservedly.

And this kind of emotion needs to have a foundation, at least someone can understand you.

Some people say that pattern is strengthened by grievances, and people with pattern are generally less likely to feel grievances.

However, even people in very high positions still have grievances.

Because I can't help myself.

It is normal to feel grievances occasionally.

The fewer people feel wronged, the stronger their hearts are.

This feeling of grievance.

Li Yu didn't, and neither did many survivors who had lived in the apocalypse for five years.
