Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

After returning to his room, Li Yu felt drowsy again.

His body, after another ten or so hours of rest, didn't really require more sleep.

But the sound of rain was just too conducive to sleep.

Because the residential area of the base was right at the center of the base.

Far from the walls, with bamboo groves and trees nearby the residential area.

In the residential area, one couldn't hear the zombie's howling at all.

Only the pitter-patter of the rain.

This sound truly induced sleep.

Especially now that it was just after six in the morning, dawn breaking with a dim light, as if the chaos of creation was just beginning.

Li Yu lay in bed, feeling perfectly at ease.

Huuu huuu huuu huuu huuu~

Li Yu fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, it was already eleven in the morning.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Li Yu got up.

He flexed his arms and stretched his shoulders.

He felt his slight cold was completely gone; it's great to be young. A robust physique, too, recovers quickly.

Ever since that Wang Qingsheng was killed, no one had mentioned going north for revenge.

Even Second Uncle and his aunt hadn't brought it up, well aware of the risks on the road.

But even if they didn't mention it, Li Yu had already made up his mind.

The provincial capital city was some distance away, but by car, it would only take seven or eight hours.

The people from that prison would surely be trouble if they were to encounter them in the future.

Better to take care of them sooner rather than later.

Plus, there was a vendetta!

But as the saying goes, make all the preparations before going.

Just as he was about to go for lunch, Li Yu came out of his room and saw An Ya running frantically from a distance, shouting: "The dam at Mountain Pond has a problem."

Li Yu's heart skipped a beat at those words.

He thought to himself: That's impossible, the reservoir's dam is over ten meters wide.

The pressure of Mountain Pond's water storage can't be strong enough to breach the dam.

If the dam at Mountain Pond collapses, then the water storage behind it is ruined.

Li Yu quickly went to meet her and asked loudly, "What's the problem? What happened?"

An Ya, panting heavily, said: "The dam was fine all this time, but just a moment ago, a small section suddenly gave way. Your Third Uncle and the others have gone there. I came to inform you, Director Li.

You must hurry and take a look, we've planted a lot of crops below the dam, if it's all washed away.

Those crops will be gone by then, their roots aren't stable yet."

Li Yu nodded, about to dash out into the rain when he suddenly remembered something.

He quickly returned indoors, grabbed a set of rain gear, put it on, then ran with an umbrella towards the dam.

Having just reached the foot of the mountain, he saw a small area of crops closest to the base of the mountain, already irregularly swept away by the water.

Some crops were even floating on the surface.

Li Yu ran up the mountain.

Before he even reached Mountain Pond, he heard Second Uncle's voice, "Wang Cheng, Zhou Guowei... throw the rocks over there to block it.

Haoran, Haoxian, use the sandbags to block that gap..."

But when Li Yu arrived at Mountain Pond, what he saw was a small double breach on the muddy dam's edge.

And this edge of the dam was the weakest part, not cemented.

Indeed, when the dam was initially built, it was supposed to be quite secure.

Under normal circumstances, even if the Mountain Pond is full, such a problem wouldn't occur.

After all, on this dam, cement had been applied in some places.

But man's calculations are inferior to those of heaven; who could have expected such heavy rain, and that it would last for so long.

The Mountain Pond had already filled to the brim, and the water level even surpassed the historical maximum.

They also hadn't anticipated that the Mountain Pond would fill up so quickly.

Fortunately, no major problems occurred.

Second Uncle had already taken control of the situation and plugged the small breach on the top first.

Then he sent people to widen the outlet at the bottom.

The rain continued, and the dam faced such problems also because the outlet was too small.

Li Yu approached and said to Second Uncle, "Second Uncle."

Second Uncle saw Li Yu and said, "Li Yu, I think...

After this torrential rain, we need to clean up the Mountain Pond.

There must be issues with this outlet, probably clogs that are causing the water to flow out slowly. Otherwise, we wouldn't have this problem.

Additionally, the dam might need further reinforcement."

Li Yu nodded and said, "I was thinking the same thing. Those crops below are our lifeline; we cannot neglect them.

After the rain stops, I'll have someone reinforce this place and clear the outlet."

Second Uncle hummed in acknowledgment, then glanced around.

He stepped closer to Li Yu and asked, "Li Yu, there's another matter, I want to hear your thoughts. I've heard about your aunt's situation.

I know you, and you're definitely going to trouble those remaining people. I just hope you won't act impulsively.

Mm. I'm not stopping you from going, but I mean I hope you won't be blinded by anger. Be prudent and make thorough preparations before you go."

Li Yu was momentarily speechless and pointed to himself, "Second Uncle, do I look like someone who is reckless?"

Second Uncle shook his head.

Li Yu continued, "Don't worry, I'll make all the preparations before I set off. You can rest assured."

Second Uncle smiled, nodded to Li Yu, and then walked down the hill.

Li Yu looked at the plugged breach, which seemed to be no longer a problem, and now the outlet had been widened.

The water surface of the Mountain Pond was almost parallel to the roadway of the dam.

For a moment, it resembled a flat, smooth mirror.

Li Yu stood and waited for a while, and sure enough, after the outlet was widened, the water level of the Mountain Pond started to drop bit by bit.

Although it seemed insignificant, it was effective.

Only then did Li Yu feel relieved.

Seeing Li Haoran and the others barefooted, Li Yu recalled that on his way here, he saw some fish that had been washed down in the streams and gullies by the roadside.

So he said, "Haoran, Haoxian, Zhengping, Xiaolüe, you guys go down to the stream and feel around. There are a lot of fish washed down there – catch them, and we'll have an extra dish tonight."

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, they all eagerly agreed, "Alright, big brother."

And so they happily ran down the hill to catch fish in the gully.

This small stream was originally very shallow and less than two meters wide.

As expected, there were some fish that had escaped to this area, which made their catch exceptionally delightful.

Meanwhile, in the distance, seeing them catch fish, younger children such as Zhang Zhixing, who were only eight or nine, or eleven or twelve years old, joined in.

Li Yu initially worried about them catching colds.

But seeing their joy, he didn't stop them.

Children are not so delicate, and besides, there are various medicines in the base, and doctors too...

Amidst their laughter and the misty drizzle,

Li Yu watched them, their faces smeared with mud, occasionally holding up a large carp with both hands, popping out of the stream.

Their mouths wide in grins, faces beaming with smiles.
