Chapter 510: Mysterious Person
May 17.
Lunar April 10th.
Auspicious: Praying for blessings, weddings, moving, breeding, marriage
Taboo: Traveling, fishing, logging, brewing, digging wells
A big day for weddings.
Early in the morning, Li Yu got up and still went running in the mountains.
Since his rebirth, he has never stopped exercising or improving himself.
To survive in this post-apocalyptic world, if one were just to wait blindly for death, facing an enemy or a zombie attack one day, with a big fat beer belly, running wouldn't even be an option.
After a round of running, drenched in sweat, he took a shower.
Seeing that his parents were also up early, preparing some things.
Even though it's the post-apocalyptic world, some basic preparations are still necessary.
Everyone gathered under the big banyan tree, and the wedding venue was simply set up.
Li Yu did not get involved in these preparations, after giving Li Hang a few brief instructions, he went up to the fence.
These days have been without rain, clear skies.
They must take advantage of this weather to tidy up the Outer City, otherwise, it would be troublesome when it starts raining.
The weather now is unpredictable.
Time was critical.
The construction of the second wall of the Outer City has already laid the foundation.
Over a hundred people were busy working back and forth.
Flowing operations made construction more efficient.
Originally, Ding Jiu and Father Li, who were in charge of the construction site, did not come because they were busy with the marriage affairs of Li Hang and Ding Qingqing.
Thus, Li Yu came over to supervise and help, but the main tasks were still handled by Xiao Qian, the civil engineering student who followed He Bing.
When Xiao Qian saw Li Yu coming over, he approached and said, "Director Li, due to the terrain, there's a small hill in that area, originally we were supposed to build the wall past it.
However, clearing this small hill would take too much time, so it might as well be included within the wall.
But now, the scope of the second Outer City will be 10 acres larger than before."
Li Yu looked over there, indeed there was a small hill about ten meters high. After thinking, he said, "That's also fine, keep the hill, we can directly build an Observation Tower on it later."
Xiao Qian responded, "Mmm, that's a good idea."
Li Yu chatted with him a little more, then let him get back to work.
The roaring of machinery attracted some zombies' attention, in this relatively remote area, zombies would occasionally appear.
Although rare, they appeared from time to time.
Fortunately, Lao Lü and others were on guard nearby, and any appearing zombies were dealt with.
Li Yu climbed up the Observation Tower, standing at the highest point to overlook both inside and outside the base.
On one side, it was bustling with crop cultivation and wedding preparations.
On the other side, the construction of the second Outer City wall was in full swing.
Looking at this scene, striving to constantly improve the base, Li Yu felt much more reassured.
The Observation Tower, over twenty meters high, was quite tall and windy.
The wind flapped Li Yu's clothes with a whooshing sound.
Another busy day; during this day, the wall was constructed for two hundred meters.
In-situ casting is fast; nowadays, what most limits their construction speed is not during grouting, but the pace of raw materials supply.
For this, Li Yu even sent more people to help bring back the materials.
The nearby steel reinforcement was almost entirely used up by them, so to get more, they could only go further away.
....
In the evening.
A boar was slaughtered in the base, and a pig-killing feast was prepared.
The wedding ceremony was also quite simple.
Everyone lived together, there was no bridal procession, it was just that from now on, Ding Qingqing would move in to live with Li Hang.
Under the big banyan tree.
The newlyweds stepped over a fire basin and entered the wedding scene under a crowd.
The two bowed to each other with smiles on their faces.
After the ceremony, they changed clothes and offered toasts to everyone.
There was no Western-style procedure, only a Chinese-style one.
The evening breeze was not cold, but it warmed the heart.
Father Li's face never stopped smiling.
In his view, it seemed like half of a responsibility he had was now fulfilled.
"Enter the bridal chamber~"
Everyone pushed, and directed the couple into the already prepared bridal room.
A night of merriment.
The next morning.
Li Yu looked at Li Hang, who had somewhat dark circles under his eyes, pointed at him and said, "Young man, some things, those who know how to use can use it for a lifetime, those who don't, can only use it for a while. Do you want to use it for a lifetime, or just for a while?"
Li Hang was a bit dazed and lowered his head.
...
After the wedding, to take care of Ding Qingqing, Li Yu asked Second Uncle to no longer assign her any duty at the walls.
Mainly in the base's surveillance room, or helping out within the base.
It's worth mentioning that the surveillance cameras were also adjusted.
This mainly followed the suggestion by Ah Guang, He Chao's former subordinate, to build a local network.
With the establishment of the local network, many things within the base became more efficient.
Also, because of the local network's coverage range of several kilometers.
Even outside the base, on village roads, and the national highway outside, some cameras were installed.
With the existence of these cameras, even if there were enemies, they could be aware of their arrival early.
Three days later.
Under the scorching sun, Li Yu and others were watering the newly constructed wall.
Sizzling~
Water sprayed onto the already set wall emitted a sound as if it was absorbing water.
