Chapter 1818 - 982: Extreme Temperature Differences

The Second Uncle in the duty room was full of surprise when he heard Li Yu’s voice from the intercom.

"It’s restored, it should be usable now." Li Yu said happily.

Second Uncle stood up with the intercom, glanced at the military radio beside him, and said to Li Yu:

"Since the intercom is usable, does it mean we can contact Oil City?"

Li Yu realized this issue too and quickly said: "Let’s try, I’ll come over right away."

Li Yu clipped the intercom to his waist and dashed towards the door. However, upon seeing the intense sunlight outside, he suddenly stopped.

He put on his helmet and radiation protection, then opened the door to go out.

Second Uncle felt a bit excited; Oil City used to communicate with Big Camphor Tree Base three times a day, but ever since the magnetic storm hit.

Two days, two full days without any news.

Second Uncle had just sat down when he heard a sound from the military radio.

"Calling Headquarters Big Camphor Tree Base, this is Zuo Ruxue from Oil City requesting contact, please respond..."

Zuo Ruxue repeated this many times.

Second Uncle’s mouth curved into a smile, almost bursting into laughter.

Indeed, the military radio was restored as well!

"I am Li Hongda, Internal Affairs Director at Big Camphor Tree Base. Message received. What’s the situation over there?" Second Uncle restrained his excitement and spoke.

Oil City.

Conference Hall.

Zuo Ruxue was stunned for a few seconds upon hearing Second Uncle’s voice.

Then she shouted to Ju Tianrui and Dong Tai and others around her: "We’re connected, we’re connected to Headquarters, finally connected, come over quickly!!"

Only God knows how many times she had called in the past two days, she and her team had called continuously for 24 hours but never got in touch.

Yet just now, after repeating the same lines she had said countless times over the past two days, she actually received a reply!

She couldn’t help but feel excited.

Bang!

Ju Tianrui jumped up immediately upon hearing Zuo Ruxue’s shout, and the chair he sat in fell to the ground due to inertia as he got up too fast.

Dong Tai and the others gathered around.

Zuo Ruxue pressed the button and spoke:

"Finally got in touch with you, here’s our situation..."

Seeing Ju Tianrui already behind her, she continued: "I’ll let Ju Tianrui report to you."

After speaking, she stood up and gave the seat to Ju Tianrui.

Ju Tianrui hadn’t even sat down yet but eagerly picked up the headset and said: "I am Ju Tianrui, reporting the current situation in Oil City.

We followed the City Lord’s previous instructions and shut off all city power after the storm ended; we’re still in a power outage. Also, we’ve found current solar radiation is extremely strong, you should be careful. Three members here have injured their eyes due to the light exposure, but they are fine now.

How are things at Headquarters?"

Second Uncle heard Ju Tianrui mention Li Yu’s instructions and thought to himself: It turns out Xiao Yu had arranged everything long ago, and he was worried for so long for nothing.

He relaxed and spoke: "Headquarters Base suffered basically no losses, rest assured. As for the power outage, we manufactured a Magnetic Shield, it should work..."

At that moment, a voice came from the door.

"Maybe we don’t need the Magnetic Shield anymore; according to Dong Ying’s detection, the magnetic storm has passed."

Saying this, Li Yu walked over to the mobile switchblade box, opened the box, and pressed the button.

Clash-clash-clash!

The mobile switchblade was restored.

Li Yu smiled, picked up the intercom to contact Uncle in the Inner City.

"Uncle, after testing, the magnetic storm really has passed. It won’t affect our power system anymore, so open the main power switch."

Uncle and others in the Inner City were very pleased upon hearing Li Yu’s message.

Click!

Ding ding ding ding ding——

The lights throughout the base were all lit up at this moment.

Even the ventilation system and spray devices in the greenhouse were activated at the same time.

The whole base seemed to come to life.

Li Yu turned on the lights in the duty room and then admired them.

He smiled and said to Second Uncle: "Tell Ju Tianrui and his team that they can turn on the power switch too, the magnetic storm has passed."

Another piece of good news.

Second Uncle smiled and conveyed this news to Ju Tianrui and the others far away in Oil City.

Li Yu took the headset from Second Uncle’s hand and said to Ju Tianrui:

"By the way, there’s one more thing you need to do now. The solar radiation is intense, and the water vapor is evaporating quickly. Take advantage of the recent rains to stock up on some water; I’m afraid there might be issues with the water supply later..."

Ju Tianrui was stunned upon hearing Li Yu’s words and thought to himself: Definitely thorough consideration by the City Lord.

After establishing contact with Big Camphor Tree Base, Ju Tianrui asked about various tasks needed next, and Li Yu issued orders one by one.

Restoring communication with Headquarters Base eased the distant people in Oil City considerably.

The gloom brought by the magnetic storm was dispelled this moment.

However, the scorching sunlight outside still posed considerable problems for them.

...

Time flows.

In a blink of an eye, it’s evening.

Chen Delong emerged from Wuyi Mountain with a serious expression.

Their vehicle had been surrounded by the Zombie Tide, and after more than a month of torrential rain, they couldn’t find it now.

They could only walk back to the base.

"Brother Chen, we saw a road sign two hours ago, we should be in Shi County now. It might take another day to reach the base. Is this pace too slow?" Tui Zi gasped heavily.
