Chapter 1792 - 971: A Month of Torrential Rain (5,000 Words)_3

"Wow wow wow!"

"Awesome awesome awesome!"

Tie Tou and others were honored.

This kind of thing is just exhilarating.

"It’s not over yet. Later, the Western Alliance sent people to scout, but our people discovered them. Director Li, in a fit of rage, wiped out that powerful Western Alliance!"

Gulp!

Gulp!

A few people swallowed hard.

Earlier, they had heard Yu Lei’s description of the Western Alliance and knew how powerful it was, but even so, it was wiped out by the Big Camphor Tree Base.

Truly an awesome display of power.

Listening to the past achievements of the Big Camphor Tree Base, Tie Tou’s face flushed with excitement.

Now, he was a member of the Big Camphor Tree Base.

Being part of such a powerful base made him immensely proud.

More importantly, the Big Camphor Tree Base was worth their pride, because as long as you truly became one of them and didn’t make mistakes, the Big Camphor Tree Base would always be your strongest backing and provide unwavering support!

Jiu Ge and Dongfeng, who were eavesdropping, felt a bit relieved.

Luckily, they were not enemies of the Big Camphor Tree Base.

Yu Lei saw the astonishment on the faces of the teenagers nearby and felt utterly satisfied.

With a grin, he said, "Let me tell you another story about the Corpse Speaker; do you want to hear it?"

"Yes, we want to hear it."

The surrounding teenagers, looking excited, expressed their eagerness for Yu Lei to continue.

Being an elder extra staff member familiar with the base’s affairs, Yu Lei, seeing their curiosity and wanting to witness their shock, happily continued.

.....

Oil City.

With the mobile switch blade, they weren’t as passive against zombies as they used to be.

Previously, they would pour oil out to flow into the trenches to burn the zombies.

But now, with the mobile switch blade, the oil was saved.

The remaining oil was all used to generate electricity to power the mobile switch blade.

Every day.

Ju Tianrui kept in touch with the Big Camphor Tree Base, reporting the daily situation.

Although the oil well stopped work, the daily diesel consumption was considerable, which brought significant pressure to Ju Tianrui.

However, thanks to the mobile switch blade, the zombie threat had significantly diminished.

The house near the oil well in Oil City.

Zuo Ruxue pushed open the window, which had been closed lately, causing the indoor air to be somewhat stuffy.

But once the window was opened, the wind and rain entered.

The cold rain blew in, and Zuo Ruxue shuddered, staring blankly at the torrential rain outside, thinking of nothing and doing nothing.

Simply watching silently.

Squeak——

The door was pushed open by Bu Gu, followed by the big bust girl.

"Oh! Sister Zuo, why did you open the window? The rain is being blown in." Bu Gu said with some surprise.

She walked over to close the window, sealing the wind and rain outside.

"Sister Zuo."

"What’s wrong with you?" The big bust girl saw that Zuo Ruxue seemed to have something on her mind and asked.

Zuo Ruxue shook her head, expressionless.

Bu Gu and the big bust girl exchanged glances, sensing something was off about Sister Zuo.

Unsure of what was going on, they just stood quietly, watching Zuo Ruxue.

"Tell me." Zuo Ruxue softly spoke.

"Sister Zuo?" Upon hearing Zuo Ruxue speak, the two hurriedly responded.

"Do you have something on your mind?"

Zuo Ruxue continued: "Am I a failure?"

Bu Gu looked a bit puzzled but then seemed to understand something.

She approached Zuo Ruxue, wrapping her hands around her, saying:

"No, Sister Zuo, you are the person I admire most. Without you, we sisters wouldn’t have survived."

The big bust girl also quickly said: "Yes, yes, Sister Zuo, how could you ask such a question? You’re not a failure; in fact, I think you’re the best. The sisters all believe in you."

Zuo Ruxue smiled, exhaled longly, and said, "The rain has been falling too long, making me emo."

Seeing Zuo Ruxue smile, the big bust girl and Bu Gu breathed a sigh of relief.

Zuo Ruxue was the soul of their group; without her, they would lose their backbone and confidence.

All along, Zuo Ruxue has been very strong and resolute, even when facing other extra staff at the Big Camphor Tree Base, she showed no inferiority.

Before joining the Big Camphor Tree Base, she was tough when dealing with other survivor teams, instilling courage into their group.

But she was still a woman, prone to sentimental thoughts, especially in such torrential rain, which always led to overthinking, self-doubt, and undervaluing herself.

Bu Gu and the big bust girl had never seen Zuo Ruxue like this. Seeing her back to normal, they began chattering about some recent interesting things around her.

"Sister Zuo, let me tell you, when I went to the drain, it was hilarious, that Dong Tai..."

Zuo Ruxue listened quietly, barely audibly sighing in her heart.

She felt a bit tired, having always been the sisters’ reliance. She also wanted someone to rely on.

But ah...

With no one to be strong for her, she became strong herself, unknowingly growing more courageous and tenacious than many men.

.....

Time flows like water.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of October.

The rain kept pouring, turning the world dark, as if this rain had no end.

Big Camphor Tree Base, Inner City.

Li Yu looked at the rainstorm outside the window, murmuring:

"Been raining for over a month..."

During this month, the water in the Mountain Pond was already full, and they opened the gates wide for flood discharge.

Even a lake had formed at the cliff to the right of the base; if not for a gap in the middle, the water level could be even higher.

After so much continuous rainfall.

Some people struggled at the edge of life and death, while others stayed in bed watching movies.
