Chapter 1776 - 964: Kill Me, Give Me a Quick Death! (Part 2)

At this point, this Zombie had completely lost its ability to fight.

Splurt!

Li Yu pulled the Spear out of the Zombie’s chest and said to Old Bi, "Send it to the repair factory, pull out this Zombie’s teeth, and weld its mouth shut with iron."

Old Bi nodded, then he and a few others tied the Zombie up again, binding it tightly like a zongzi.

They were already very familiar with this kind of thing.

Previously, in order to capture Zombies to generate electricity, they had specially built an iron bed. On the iron bed, they’d welded several holes with Steel, used to lock the Zombie’s head, arms, and legs in place.

Then they’d seal it with crossbars, so the Zombie couldn’t move at all on the iron bed.

It could only lie there and be obediently processed.

Li Yu watched as Old Bi and the others took the Zombie down.

Raindrops kept landing on Li Yu’s hat. The rain was too heavy; even with the hat, it still couldn’t block everything.

His hair was wet anyway.

He lifted his feet and walked toward the duty room.

Behind him, Yang Zhongshi looked at Li Yu with some fear. That scene just now had refreshed his understanding of Li Yu.

Director Li’s way of capturing a Zombie... really was simple and brutal.

Uncle stood where he was for a while, then adjusted the searchlight a bit and also went to the duty room.

Inside the duty room.

Li Yu took off his hat and wiped the rain from his face.

Uncle, who had followed him in, said, "The Fifth Satellite City and Fourth Satellite City have sent distress messages, saying they can’t hold on anymore."

Li Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "What about the other three Satellite Cities?"

Uncle sighed and said, "They also sent distress messages, but those three Satellite Cities are relatively better off. I told them to hang in there a bit longer.

Xiao Yu, the messages from the Fifth Satellite City say their situation is extremely critical, they may be facing the danger of the city being breached. We..."

"We can’t save them. Tell them that directly," Li Yu said, clean and crisp.

"With rain this heavy, Helicopters flying in the storm are too risky. If something goes wrong during the rescue, the rescuers themselves might not come back."

"Mm." Uncle’s expression fell; he nodded.

What Li Yu said was reality—just a particularly cruel one.

Suddenly, Li Yu said, "The Fourth and Fifth Satellite Cities are too far from us. Our arm is too short to reach. But the First Outer City to the Third Satellite City are within range of the heavy artillery.

We also have the precise locations of these three Satellite Cities, so we can carry out accurate strikes on the Zombies.

But let’s wait a bit longer. It’s not the most critical moment yet."

Hearing this, Uncle’s eyes lit up and he said, "Right, I almost forgot about that. Yes, yes, this is a good plan."

There were only Li Yu and Uncle in the duty room; Yang Zhongshi was outside.

Li Yu said in a low voice, "No more than three times. The number of heavy artillery Bombs is extremely limited. Every shot we fire is one less we have."

Uncle nodded. "Mm."

Li Yu looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already four in the morning.

Even someone like him, made of iron, felt a bit tired after going twenty or thirty hours straight without rest.

So he said to Uncle, "Uncle, for now those jumping-type Zombies can’t get up here, but don’t let your guard down. If the height of the Zombie pile increases again, open the second layer of blade gates.

I’m going back to get some sleep first."

Uncle saw the fatigue in Li Yu’s eyes and said in a reassuring voice, "Alright, go on, I’ve got things here."

"Okay."

Li Yu took the hat hanging by the door, but didn’t put it on; he walked straight out into the rain and headed for the base of the wall.

Yang Zhongshi saw Li Yu come out and hurriedly said, "City Lord."

"Mm. Stay sharp. If anything happens, report it immediately," Li Yu said, patting him on the shoulder.

"Understood!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

After Li Yu said that, he went down from the wall.

He walked to the First outer city, thought for a moment, and decided to go check on how Old Bi and the others were handling that Zombie.

So he passed through two gates and entered the Second Outer City.

Repair factory.

A crackling sizzle of welding sounded.

The main door was wide open, and the rain threads drifted in.

Squelch, squelch.

Water had seeped into Li Yu’s shoes, making a strange sound.

"City Lord."

"City Lord."

"City Lord."

Old Bi, Lao Zhou, and the others were all there. When they saw Li Yu, they hurriedly greeted him.

Li Yu nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the Zombie on the iron bed.

He saw the Zombie locked tightly onto the iron bed, unable to move an inch.

Its originally ferocious mouth was now covered in knife marks.

The sharp teeth had been placed in a rusty iron box on the side.

"It’s fine, carry on with your work," Li Yu said to them.

Hearing this, Lao Zhou pulled his welding mask down, both hands wrapped in thick gloves, a welding rod in his grip.

Crackle, sizzle.

Sparks flew everywhere, stabbing painfully at the eyes.

They were going to deal with this Zombie’s mouth in a rough way—welding it shut with iron bars.

Li Yu watched for a short while, felt his eyes start to hurt, and then said to Lao Zhou and the others, "Tomorrow remember to transfer this Zombie to the Research Room where Bai Jie and the others are. Just tell them I ordered them to study it."

"Got it," Lao Zhou said.

After that, Li Yu left the repair factory.

And stepped back into the rain.

Li Yu tilted his head up, feeling the rain splash across his face.

There was a time when he really liked rainy days.

Maybe because a rainfall could wash away all the filth and grime.

Or maybe because after the rain, the air turned fresh and the view became wide and clear.

But now, as he looked at this torrential rain, his feelings were endlessly tangled.
