Chapter 349 - 341: Patrolling the Base

Li Yu returned to the bedroom and put on a soothing, melodious song before lying down on the sofa for a while.

A few minutes later, he headed to the bathroom for a hot shower.

The warm water cascading down and the steam rising made Li Yu feel much more relaxed from head to toe.

Facing the issue with Shang Xue'er today reminded him of many people who had died by his hand.

He felt somewhat oppressed inside; he knew that killing those people was the right thing for him, but for some reason, he always felt a bit heavy-hearted.

After the shower, he changed into warm loungewear, brewed a cup of hot tea, and sat in the rattan chair on the balcony, idly watching the snowflakes falling outside the window.

This snowfall is also close to an end, isn't it?

He felt somewhat exhausted, as if all the energy in his body was drained.

The heating continued, making the room very warm.

Li Yu slowly drifted off to sleep in the cozy room.

He didn't know how long he had slept when he felt something wet on his face.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw three little wolf pups licking his face.

"Tie Zhu, Dog Egg, Cui Hua, ah. It's good to be you guys, without any worries," Li Yu teased the three little wolf pups.

"Aw, aw, aw,"

The trio were still being rambunctious, and Li Yu instantly realized they were hungry.

He glanced at the empty food dishes that had been cleaned out and went downstairs to prepare something for the puppies.

Seeing Li Yu's actions, the three little ones excitedly gathered around him.

"Don't panic, there's enough for everyone," Li Yu said with a smile.

The charm of cute pets warmed the heart, and Li Yu felt his fatigue and irritation on the way seemed to relax at that moment.

Li Yu stroked the smooth fur of the wolf pups, it was warm and soft, very pleasant to touch.

After feeding the pups, Li Yu went downstairs.

He had returned late yesterday after moving all the electronic equipment and, feeling tired, had not gone to see Yang Tianlong.

Li Yu went downstairs with some breakfast and headed to the infirmary.

Before entering the infirmary, he heard the laughter of Yang Tianlong.

Upon entering, he saw Shang Xue'er looking at Yang Tianlong with a speechless expression.

Seeing this, Li Yu said, "I was too late yesterday and didn't come to see you. I was worried about your condition, but now you seem so happy. Tell me about it."

Yang Tianlong said with a laugh, "Just now, I was saying... ouch."

Meanwhile, Shang Xue'er twisted Yang Tianlong's waist with one hand, and his smiling face quickly turned into a bitter melon face.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, Little Yu. I was just joking," Yang Tianlong hastened to say.

Li Yu, noticing their little antics, didn't pry further. This Yang Tianlong had truly stumbled onto some dumb luck.

A narrow escape from death often leads to good fortune.

Li Yu then looked at Yang Tianlong's arm, which was set in a cast, and asked, "How's the injury?"

Yang Tianlong replied, "It's not a big deal anymore, Dr. Meng said it was a dislocated fracture, and I'll be fine with some rest."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu finally felt relieved and handed over the breakfast he was holding to Shang Xue'er, who accepted it.

"All right then, Shang Xue'er, you can take care of Tianlong. I'll be leaving now and won't disturb you two."

Shang Xue'er, hearing the first part, was about to respond, but stopped short after hearing the latter part, holding back the urge to speak.

Explaining too much now would just sound like a guilty conscious, and besides, Yang Tianlong had saved her, and she held some fondness for this big fool.

Yang Tianlong laughed and said, "Little Yu, take care, take care, hahaha."

Sure enough, Shang Xue'er twisted Yang Tianlong's waist again.

"Hisss– ah!"

Li Yu, hearing those somewhat perverse groans of pain, left speechless. Some people just enjoy that kind of play. Shang Xue'er, who was skilled in the martial arts, was an impressive woman, but the two of them were quite a match.

But this Shang Xue'er seemed to have a bit of a temper. Li Yu shook his head; it wasn't his problem. It looked like Yang Tianlong was going to have his hands full in the future.

After leaving the infirmary, Li Yu went to the surveillance room, where optimistic Xiao Han was on duty today.

She saw Li Yu coming on the surveillance screen, so she stood up and said to him, "Director Li."

Li Yu saw her stand up and gestured with his hand, saying, "It's fine, no need to stand, please sit."

"Okay." The optimistic Xiao Han sat back down.

"Director Li, did you need me for something?" asked the optimistic Xiao Han.

Li Yu smiled and said, "Just taking a walk. Have you noticed anything out of the ordinary?"

Optimistic Xiao Han replied, "Nothing much. It's all white out there, and it's hurting my eyes. With this heavy snow, who knows when it will stop. It's a bit boring staying in this surveillance room, some sunflower seeds to crack and eat would be nice..."

Li Yu looked at this optimistic Xiao Han speechlessly, her nickname was certainly well-earned.

She really was optimistic, and also quite chatty.

"Alright, continue to monitor things here, I'm going to check out the other areas," said Li Yu, and then he left the surveillance room.

After leaving the surveillance room, he found Li Hang in the electrical control room at the mountain top.

Fortunately, the electrical control room had heating, but since Li Hang had to come in and out, he didn't take off his thick clothes for convenience.

Seeing him dressed in thick clothes and busy, Li Yu said:

"You're up early. Didn't you go back yesterday?

You don't need to rush things. Just getting the inverter switched is good enough, the troubleshooting we can take care of slowly."

Li Hang saw his older brother coming and didn't stop his hands, saying:

"Bro, you're here.

I did go back yesterday. Early this morning, they said there was a problem with the water heater, so I checked it and the heater was fine, it must be an electrical failure.

The inverter has been installed and is working fine.

Tomorrow I'll add some more batteries we got from the electronics wholesale market to increase our storage capacity significantly."

Li Yu nodded, watching his younger brother working so diligently, he felt very reassured.

His younger brother had become really reliable.

Then he looked around and did not see Dapao's figure, so he asked, "Where's Dapao?"

Li Hang pointed to a place and said, "Brother Pao is over there in the residential area. Once I'm done here and do a test, he'll give me feedback."

Li Yu nodded and said, "Okay, if you are outside, don't catch a cold, make sure you stay warm. Got it?"

Li Hang replied, "I got it."

Li Yu then came down from the top of the mountain.

He walked around the perimeter wall, interacted with the duty staff for a while, and everything was operating normally.

After taking a round through the base, it was already noon.

After lunch, Yutong came to find him, entering Li Yu's room.

Playing with the several little wolf-dogs, she suddenly said, "Brother Yu, I heard from Old Lü about some troubles you guys encountered.

Next time, I want to join you when you go out, can I?"

Li Yu felt a warmth in his heart, squatted down, hugged Yutong, and as he smelled the pleasant scent of her hair, he said, "Okay."

Yutong felt the embrace from behind, turned her head, and also hugged Li Yu.

"Brother Yu."

"Hmm?"

"I missed you."

"I'm right here."

"Yeah, I missed you."

It's annoying, really want to make a mass release, but I'm stuck with writer's block these last two days.

Now I understand why no one writes about post-apocalyptic settings without fantasy elements and superpowers, it's really hard to write...

But I'm stubborn; I said no superpowers, no system, so I won't include them.

I'll adjust, and I will do my utmost to present you with amazing content.
