Everyone was grateful that Li Yu had built this base ahead of time, otherwise they wouldn't know what to do now.
Grandpa suddenly remembered that Li Yu had already mentioned that something big was about to happen.
According to what he had said before, he learned from a friend in M city that something was going to happen soon.
Though he didn't mention zombies at first, it was a slight oversight.
They feared that someone with ulterior motives might covet this knowledge!
Although everyone present was family, they still feared trouble from those with ulterior motives.
To avoid trouble.
After discussing with Grandpa, Grandpa and Grandpa issued a gag order to everyone present.
Even though there was no way to contact outsiders under the current conditions, it was still necessary to reiterate.
When the two grandfathers spoke, being the most elderly and highly respected in the family,
everyone obediently listened.
No, Grandpa looked at Lai Dongsheng's family next to him, his aged eyes slightly narrowed.
Lai Dongsheng, who was holding a machete nearby, shuddered when he caught Grandpa's gaze.
Grandpa had seen Lai Dongsheng a few times but wasn't very familiar with him.
Seeing this, Li Yu quickly said, "Grandpa, Uncle Lai has been working for our family for over a decade, and his daughter is also my classmate, we have a good relationship."
Grandpa also added, "Dongsheng is a good man."
After listening, Grandpa then said, "Let's go inside first. Who knows if more of those things, what you call zombies, will come later."
From afar.
A series of distant roars could be heard.
Eerie, terrifying.
Held in Li Yuan's arms, the four-year-old Li Suxin, with her chubby little hands, pulled away the hand covering her eyes and looked with her bright, shiny big eyes at Li Yu's blood-stained clothes.
Pointing at him, she said in a baby voice, "Big brother, you've dirtied your clothes, you'll get a spanking if you don't clean them."
Upon hearing this, Li Yu looked at the youngest and most adorable member of the family, his mood instantly brightened.
"I'll spank you first!" Li Yu pretended to spank her.
"Ah, no!" Li Suxin quickly covered her little bottom with her hands.
With this exchange, the atmosphere on the scene relaxed slightly.
After everyone entered through the main gate, Li Yu stood on the Observation Tower and turned on the searchlight.
Seeing a group of dark figures passing by in the distance.
Li Yu frowned, shining the searchlight over there, only to see it was a group of zombies.
They've gathered so quickly? Li Yu thought to himself.
Yet, he also breathed a sigh of relief, thankful they weren't humans.
In the current situation, humans can sometimes be more terrifying than zombies.
He wondered how Uncle was doing. Whether he should go out and look for him.
After thinking, he dismissed the thought for now. There were so many people inside the base, and they had just witnessed zombies.
Under these circumstances, people's hearts vary.
For now, it's best to stabilize the situation at home!
"A family in harmony prospers in everything," first resolve internal conflicts before facing external ones.
Although relations were good before, that was during peacetime!
Now that the apocalypse has come, who knows how people might change.
Therefore, Li Yu wanted to test it out.
To see who would step forward under these circumstances.
Next to the big banyan tree, in the central villa living room.
A crowd of over twenty people was packed in. The entire living room was full.
Grandpa asked Li Yu to explain thoroughly about what had happened outside.
....
After recounting the events, everyone had a more comprehensive understanding of the outside situation, and their sense of gratitude deepened.
Especially Second Uncle and Aunt, who after the National Day holidays, at Li Yu's invitation, using the excuse of experiencing a tourist park, had stayed until now.
Thus, they all praised Li Yu for his foresight.
Li Yu did not respond, just quietly listened to everyone speaking.
At this moment, the always astute Second Uncle stepped forward and said, "Given the current situation, there are some issues we need to face: We have so many people, and the houses we have are enough, but there's still the issue of food..."
Li Yu's mother was about to say that there was plenty of food in the warehouse. Li Yu glanced at his mother, and she instantly seemed to understand something.
So, she closed her mouth and did not answer any further.
Regarding the underground warehouse, apart from his parents and Li Hang, Li Yu had not let anyone else know.
Lai Dongsheng only lived there after its construction was completed. He might have seen many trucks entering the base, but the trucks were tightly wrapped and it was impossible to see what was inside.
Everyone began to discuss:
Some said that the late rice was just ready and could be harvested now.
Others suggested going out to look for food, to stock up now before it becomes harder to find later.
Some said it was too dangerous outside at the moment, better not go out yet.
Uncle, Grandpa, and Grandpa remained silent.
Watching everyone discuss, Li Yu quietly observed:
Grandpa and Grandpa weren't speaking, seemed to be pondering something.
The two elderly men occasionally leaned close together for a quiet conversation, unclear what they were discussing.
Second Uncle and Uncle were discussing how to solve the food issue.
Grandma was still wiping her tears while Mother and Aunt tried to console her.
The honest Uncle was counting on his fingers, seemingly thinking about what to eat for dinner.
Lai Dongsheng's family sat by the door, sitting upright, quietly listening.
Li Hang was flaunting a knife to his cousins about how mighty he was outside just now.
The cousins, all in their teens, looked up to him with admiration.
The younger cousin was blankly staring at the distant wall, seemingly worried about his father.
Uncle's little son was picking his nose,
and after he was done, he wiped it on his mother's clothes.
Oh gosh, this little rascal,
really bringing down the house, exploding with filial piety like thunder...
Little darling of the house, Li Suxin saw this and looked at him with disgust...
Watching the spectacle, Li Yu thought to himself: Not bad!
At least he did not have to witness a scene he didn't want to see.
Although Second Uncle was shrewd, he had been very kind to him since he was the firstborn grandson of both families.
As a child, he was beloved by both families.
Bang, bang, bang~
Grandpa knocked on the table, and everyone immediately quieted down.
Grandpa slowly said, "Enough with the noise. I've discussed with Li Yu's Grandpa."
There has to be a core in the house to make decisions.
This base was built with Li Yu's money, and thanks to Li Yu, we can all still sit here and talk.
From now on, we'll listen to Li Yu!"
Grandpa also nodded in agreement, the two elderly men setting the decision firm.
The others also expressed their agreement.
During the time spent at home, everyone saw that Li Yu was different from before, just building this base must have cost a lot of money.
In this situation, everyone was more willing to trust him.
Li Yu's father opened his mouth, about to say I am his father!
Where does a father listen to his son...
With a stern look from Grandpa, Li Hongyuan dared not speak.
This kind of traditional Chinese extended family,
has always maintained excellent traditions: hierarchy, respecting the elderly and loving the young.
They are also quite united, almost every household has a motto embroidered:
Harmony brings prosperity!
