Chapter 841 Lao Bi, It’s so Hard for Me

Big camphor tree base.

Li Yu stood on the wall and watched the people coming and going underground, doing the cleaning and repair work.

He looked up at the direction where his uncle and the others left, with hope and some worry in his eyes.

At this time, his second uncle came out of the duty room and said to Li Yu: "Xiao Yu, there is news from Lao Bi in Oil City."

Li Yu heard this, his eyes condensed, nodded and said: "Okay."

In Oil City.

Lao Bi looked at the typhoon and rainstorm outside that covered the sky and the sun. The rain outside had flooded in and the rain had reached his ankles.

The typhoon still did not weaken, but their food was only enough to support them for less than five days.

The location of Oil City is actually half a meter higher than the surrounding land.

There is also a drainage system.

It's just that in this typhoon weather, the rain is too heavy.

Originally, this place is a plain, and it is easy to accumulate water under continuous heavy rain.

Lao Bi was very bitter. He didn't expect that he would encounter so many bad things when he came to Oil City.

"Lao Bi, what's wrong?" Li Yu contacted Lao Bi.

After hearing what Li Yu said, Lao Bi said a little aggrievedly: "Mr. Li, how many days will the typhoon pass through your side? It has been four days here, and the typhoon has not weakened yet. Now the rain is flooding and has reached our ankles.

Now everyone is staying indoors. I heard from the people below that the drainage pipes in the oil city may be blocked, but now we have no way to get out of the room."

After hearing this, Li Yu thought about it and said: "It will be five days in total. The wind will actually be weak on the last day. If you hold on, it should be over soon.

In addition, the food problem you mentioned last time, after the typhoon passes, I will send people to deliver food by helicopter. Don't worry about this."

After hearing what Li Yu said, Lao Bi felt like he had been given a shot of heart.

God knows how they got through these days. There was a violent storm outside, and the roofs were full of zombies. If they hadn't blocked the upstairs, they would probably be wiped out now.

They felt like a small boat in the ocean, in a violent storm.

They could be blown away at any time.

Today, we found another crack on the wall on the left.

If this continues, they really don’t know if this house can last until the typhoon passes.

Lao said to Li Yu with some grievance: "Okay, Mr. Li, when the typhoon passes here, you must send someone over."

Li Yu knew the power of the typhoon, and also knew that the protection over there in Oil City could not be compared with the big camphor tree base.

Lao Bi probably suffered a lot of pressure.

So he gently comforted: "Don't worry."

Outside the big camphor tree base.

On the national highway.

The typhoon had just passed for two days. When the uncle and his friends came out of the big camphor tree base, they saw a mess.

If it weren't for the cannon and his friends who cleaned up the national highway in advance in the morning and cleared the stones, wood and other garbage on the road to both sides, the uncle and his friends would not be able to drive on the road.

Just when they were about to reach the Yanghe River, the uncle suddenly remembered something.

Zombies like humidity, and some zombies like to lurk in rivers and lakes. Are there any zombies in the Yanghe River?

On the other hand, the trees on both sides of the road were blown down by the typhoon, and with the typhoon and the rising water level, it was unknown whether there were any more Uncaria vines there.

My uncle was a little worried, but there was no way now. They had to find Uncaria vines.

There were seven or eight of them, seven guns. Even if there were zombies in the river, they could just evacuate.

My uncle was thinking, and soon they arrived at the Yanghe Bridge, which spanned 50 meters, with the Yanghe River below.

The water level of the Yanghe River rose to a distance of only one meter from the Yanghe Bridge.

My uncle looked around and then turned the car around on the bridge.

It was not a rational decision to park the car on the bridge.

After turning the car around, he parked the car about 30 meters away from the Yanghe Bridge.

Then he pulled the handbrake and said to the people in the car: "The Yanghe River is in front, let's get off here. Xiaoding, you stay and watch the car."

After that, he opened the door and got out of the car.

Li Yuan, Qingyang, Lao Xie and others in the car all got off the car.

Qingyang held the long sword that Ju Tianrui had just returned to him, looked around, and then said to his uncle: "We may have to look along the river. Generally, there are more in some humid places, especially in the corners of the river."

The uncle nodded, then glanced at Li Yuan who was holding an automatic rifle, and said to her: "Yuanniu, you should be careful and pay attention to safety later."

Then he said to Lao Xie: "Lao Xie, you watch her later."

After that, the uncle carried the automatic rifle and walked to the river in front.

Due to the rising water level of Yanghe River, the road by the river was flooded, and even flooded the abandoned farmland by the river.

The plants by the river were also submerged by the river. When they came to the river, they were a little confused to see this scene.

It was flooded like this. Even if there was Uncaria, it should be in the river at this time.

Qingyang was also stunned for two seconds, and then said: "Walk along the downstream to see if you can find it."

My uncle didn't look very happy, but he could only nod and say, "Okay, let's go. Everyone be careful. There are zombies in the river. They may come out of the river at any time."

The abandoned farmland was wet during the typhoon and rainstorm. They walked in the muddy farmland.

Fortunately, after the end of the world, these farmlands were abandoned. No one has taken care of them in the past few years and many weeds have grown.

These weeds were pressed down in the fields by the typhoon, just like a layer of straw in the farmland.

The thick weeds slightly blocked their feet from the direct contact with the muddy mud below, so that their feet would not sink into the mud.

But the field was full of water, which was quite inconvenient to walk, and their trouser legs were wet.

Everyone walked in a deserted farmland. My uncle was always observing the direction of the river. Once a zombie came out of the river, he would immediately let everyone leave here.

Everyone waded forward, slowing down their pace as much as possible to avoid attracting zombies in the river due to the loud noise.

They walked for about five minutes, but all they could see was a mess. There were only weeds in the farmland, but no Uncaria.

Suddenly.

A big tree that was originally on the river bank collapsed in front of them, blocking their way.

"Go around it." The uncle frowned and said to everyone.

The big tree in front of them, which was two meters wide in diameter, might have been blown down by the typhoon.

Hearing this, everyone went around the collapsed tree and walked from the right.

Li Yuan just walked to the top of the tree, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she strode towards the tree.

She pulled out a plant that looked very similar to Uncaria from under the tree, and turned her head happily to Qingyang and said, "Is this it?"

She turned her back to the originally lush and collapsed tree, and didn't notice that under the scattered branches and leaves of the tree, there was a zombie that was pressed under the tree when the typhoon came.

At this time, it was hard to break free from the tree branch and rushed towards Li Yuan's back.

"Be careful!" Old Xie was horrified to see this scene and hurriedly ran towards Li Yuan.

After hearing what Old Xie said, Li Yuan forcibly suppressed the instinct to turn back, and instead took a big step forward.

However, when she reacted, the zombie was less than two meters away from her.

Moment of crisis.

The uncle and others all ran towards her, but they were seven or eight meters away from Li Yuan.

"Ouch!" When Li Yuan ran towards the uncle and others, she was too anxious and accidentally tripped over the weeds in the farmland and fell to the ground.

There was water in the farmland, splashing a splash.

In the splash, the moment Li Yuan fell, he saw a figure rushing towards him in a trance.

The speed was extremely fast.

Clang!

The sword was unsheathed.

Qingyang took extremely fast steps, and almost every step he took would splash a splash of water, but before the splash fell, he had already rushed to Li Yuan's side and swung a sword at the zombie.

The sword was sharp, and no one knew what it was made of.

The zombie's head was cut off with one sword, and the zombie's body slowly fell down.

Plop!

Then he looked at Li Yuan who had fallen to the ground, hesitated for two seconds, stuck the sword into the ground, and helped Li Yuan up with both hands.

Li Yuan was slowly helped up, but there was still some mud on her face, and a weed was stuck in her hair, wet and looking quite embarrassed.

Li Yuan was embarrassed, but she was in no mood to worry about these things now.

She took out the plant that she had never let go of even when she fell from her right hand, and said to Qingyang: "Is this it? Is this Uncaria rhynchophylla?"

Before Qingyang could reply, the uncle and others who came from behind surrounded him.

"Yuanniu, are you okay? I was scared to death." The uncle looked at Li Yuan from top to bottom, and was relieved when he saw that she was fine.

Old Xie looked self-blaming. Just now, he happened to step into a pit, looked down, and didn't pay attention to Li Yuan's situation.

"It's okay, it's okay. Is this Uncaria rhynchophylla?" Li Yuan asked Qingyang anxiously.

At the same time, he raised the plant in his hand towards Qingyang.

Qingyang took it and looked at it carefully. Then, in Li Yuan's expectant eyes, he shook his head with a wry smile: "No, it looks very similar. It belongs to the same family, but it's not Uncaria rhynchophylla."

Li Yuan was a little disappointed when she heard it, like an eggplant hit by frost.

Without saying a word, after a few seconds, she adjusted her mood, raised her head and said to Qingyang: "Thank you just now, thanks to you for saving me."

Qingyang saw Li Yuan's face, which was a little round, but it made people feel very comfortable after seeing it.

He saw the sincerity in Li Yuan's gentle eyes.

Qingyang's face turned red, and he waved his hand and said: "No, no, it's my duty, it's my duty."

He seemed a little at a loss.

Li Yuan smiled when she saw him like this.

Two shallow dimples appeared on his face.

This little Taoist priest really blushes easily. She has never seen anyone who blushes so easily in the end times.

Li Yuan was originally a little sad, and originally felt disappointed for not finding the Uncaria rhynchophylla. At this moment, she inexplicably felt much better and her mood became relaxed.

So she said to her uncle next to her: "Uncle, I was too excited just now. I will be more careful later. I am sorry to have worried you. Let's continue to look for the Uncaria rhynchophylla?"

The uncle looked at Li Yuan, then at the little Taoist priest, nodded and said: "Okay, let's go."

Everyone stayed away from the tree. The tree was too big, with lush branches and leaves. It was hard to say whether there would be zombies inside.

Qingyang drew his sword and looked at Li Yuan in front of him. He hesitated for several seconds.

Finally, he took a few steps and said to Li Yuan: "Well, there is a grass on your head."

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, but did not do much. He just pulled the grass out of his head and said to Qingyang: "Thank you."

Qingyang's face turned red again, and then he walked to the front to lead the way as if he was running away.

What others did not notice was that there was a barely noticeable red on Li Yuan's face.

Everyone walked along the river for ten minutes, but they did not find the Uncaria rhynchophylla.

Instead, when they walked to the front, where the water level was relatively low, there were zombies lying on the riverside.

After seeing them, they roared and ran towards them.

After the zombies were awakened, more and more zombie heads emerged in the river at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, the uncle had to let everyone run up.

They did not run along the road they had just come from. Running along the river was tantamount to seeking death. At this time, the zombies in the river were awakened. Running along the river, no matter how fast they ran, they could not outrun them.

They ran to a residential building far away from the river, and then shuttled through the residential building, leaving the zombies following them behind.

The uncle immediately used the intercom to contact Xiao Ding who was waiting for them at the Yanghe Bridge, and asked them to wait for them on the national highway ahead.

The crowd made a detour, returned to the national highway, and sat in the car.

The uncle wiped the sweat off his face and said to Qingyang: "It looks like it will be difficult to find plants by the river. After the typhoon and rainstorm, most of the plants along the river were submerged.

Are there other places where this plant grows? Let's go look for it somewhere else."

Qingyang thought for a while and said: "Valleys, there are usually some in the valleys. We can look for them near the valleys. After the typhoon, the impact on the valleys should not be that great, and the chance of finding Uncaria is not low."

"Okay." The uncle didn't say anything nonsense, and asked Xiao Ding to drive to the nearest valley.

But less than five minutes after they set off.

Lao Qin's voice came from the intercom.

"Captain Liu, we found it. There is a large area here. Hua Qian said it is this. You should bring Qingyang back to the base and let him see if it is it!"

My uncle was delighted when he heard this, and he quickly said to Xiao Ding who was driving the car: "No, let's go back to the base. Go back now, quickly!"

Xiao Ding braked suddenly and asked in confusion: "Ah? Not going?"

While asking, he reversed and adjusted the car to return to the big camphor tree base.

In the car.

My uncle said excitedly: "Hua Qian said he found it and asked us to go back. Qingyang, you go and see it later to confirm whether it is the Uncaria you said."

The reason why my uncle was so excited was actually very simple.

Hua Qian is also an old Chinese medicine doctor. He would treat people from time to time in the inner and outer cities.

I had some problems with my waist, and I also spent money to treat it.

This old man is quite capable.

He should not make a mistake.

After hearing the news from my uncle, everyone in the car was very surprised.

Qingyang nodded and said, "Okay," in response to his uncle's words.

So, they immediately turned around and returned to the camphor tree base as quickly as possible.
