Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus
Chapter 1689 - 932: Walls and TasksAfter communicating with Second Uncle, the time had reached past nine in the evening.
Tap tap tap—
Walking on the wall of Big Camphor Tree Base, he saw Lao Xie in the duty room watching the cameras.
Lao Xie was the former deputy leader of the WJ team and the assistant to Old Lv. He was already 42 years old and had a young daughter named Xiao Jing, who was 7 years old this year.
Despite being only 42, Lao Xie had premature aging and a Mediterranean hairline, appearing as if he were in his fifties or sixties.
Upon hearing footsteps outside the door, he turned his head and saw it was Li Yu. He quickly stood up: "Director Li."
"You go ahead with your work. I’m just taking a walk. Don’t mind me," Li Yu said, waving his hand.
After saying that, Li Yu walked around the duty room once and then came out.
The night breeze blew gently, invigorating Li Yu’s spirits.
As he walked along the wall, Li Yu encountered many people he hadn’t seen in a while.
Such as Fourth Uncle, Li Zhengping, Zhou Jianguo, and others.
Currently, construction work at Big Camphor Tree Base was continuously ongoing.
He had learned about the progress of the bunker construction and the Fourth Outer City during the conversation with Second Uncle earlier.
The bunker construction had started in July. It had been in progress for more than two months now, as the bunker covered a massive area of 30 acres.
Since it was being constructed within the inner and outer city, no cooperative personnel were involved, so currently, only a third of the bunker had been completed.
The Fourth Outer City had started in August, only after the completion of the Satellite City. It had been a month now.
Its planned area surpassed the Third Outer City, merging the areas of the First Outer City and Second Outer City, reaching over 200 acres.
The building materials and manpower required were enormous.
During Doomsday, the difficulty of construction was beyond comparison to pre-Doomsday times; many building materials were hard to obtain, and some had to be manufactured independently, such as cement.....
Thus far, only a quarter had been built.
Building the Fourth Outer City mainly employed older cooperative personnel, with over a hundred people involved.
However, once the Fourth Outer City was completed, the inner city at Big Camphor Tree Base would be entirely surrounded by four outer cities except for the cliff on the right.
Directly in front were the First and Second Outer City,
On the left was the Third Outer City, and on the right, the cliff.
Behind was the Fourth Outer City.
As Li Yu walked along the extended wall, he looked down at the scenes within the inner and outer cities from the wall.
In the First Outer City, he noticed Qingyang setting up a stove with a large iron pot at the entrance of a building, seemingly boiling some herbs.
Qingyang poured the cooked, thick herbal concoction into a large steel barrel beside him, asking Ju Tianrui to call Qu Xing and Yu An to help move it.
The herbal concoction seemed to have simmered for a long time, thick like a gel, with uncertain ingredients inside, yet it could even stretch.
"After you shower, apply this herbal remedy topically; by tomorrow, those lumps on your skin should be gone," Qingyang told Ju Tianrui.
Ju Tianrui gratefully replied, "Thank you, Qingyang. If it weren’t for you, the swarm of insects in Southeast Asia left us with itchy lumps all over, and we’ve hardly slept well."
Qingyang laughed, joining in lifting the slowly thickening herbal juice to the main hall.
When they had just returned, external city doctor Liu Pengfei, traditional doctor Hua Qian, and inner city doctor Meng Yu were in the inner city’s medical room, rescuing He Chao and Gongsun Jing.
Thus, Qingyang started helping to relieve their itchiness.
During their month-long mission, under the humid tropical monsoon climate, nights were filled with insect attacks, leaving some teammates with unbearable itching and scratched, festering skin.
Now that they’ve returned to the base, they could finally recuperate a bit.
The herbal juice didn’t smell unpleasant; it had a faint refreshing fragrance, likely containing mint and angelica.
Mint contains menthol, peppermint oil, and menthone, which disperse easily and offer a refreshing mosquito-repellent effect.
Angelica leaves have cooling, anti-inflammatory, and anti-itching properties.
Participants in the mission included Third Uncle and his special combat team, external city members such as Luo, Lao Yi, Ju Tianrui, and others.
Additionally, there were Li Yu, Dapao, and Li Gang.
However, due to interrogation matters, Li Gang and his team were still busy in the interrogation room.
"You should shower first. The herbal juice needs to cool down slightly, just in time for you to apply it after washing," Qingyang reminded.
Luo patted his full belly, gave Qingyang a thumbs-up, and laughed, "Finally, I can take a shower. I’ll apply this after I’m done. Qingyang, you’re the man!"
Qingyang shyly scratched his head.
After Luo spoke, he swaggered into the shower room with Ju Tianrui and the others.
Inside the shower room.
Lao Yi suddenly asked, "Where is Old Bi? I haven’t seen him around."
The Jackals, who had entered to shower ahead of them, replied,
"I just saw him in Weng City of the Third Outer City; he should be helping to source some resources there."
Lao Yi nodded, "I see, haha! That old rascal, he didn’t go to Southeast Asia with us, staying comfortably at the base. Now he’s finally busy."
At that moment, a bar of soap slipped out of Ju Tianrui’s hand.
The soap was slippery; it was also produced at the base, another outcome of Kong Shuang’s Research Room, with petroleum as its main raw material.
