Chapter 181 Drought
After the heavy rain, Li Yu went to solve the Salvation Army on the third day.

After coming back to recuperate for a week, he didn't go out again, but the third and second uncles in the base occasionally took some workers out to collect some construction materials.

In addition, my uncle often takes some people out to bring back the surrounding and usable things.

As time passed, the height of the fence became higher and higher. Originally, I just wanted to make the guardrail of the fence higher, but after Li Hongyuan saw it, he directly suggested that the height of the fence be built higher.

It is also safer to resist zombies in this way.From the current height of almost 8 meters, it has been built to a height of nearly 10 meters.

A lot of cement and steel bars were used. Fortunately, the surrounding factories had enough of these things.

This is a long-lasting thing. When the base wall was just built to 9 meters, it had been 10 days since the rainstorm passed.

In the past 10 days, the wall has increased by one meter.But it was stopped by Li Yu on this day.

After the heavy rain, it has been 10 days of high temperature weather, from 25 degrees to 35 degrees, and now it is often 40 degrees, and even at noon, the temperature will reach as high as 44 degrees.

At such a temperature, the water in the mountain pond has become less, and the water level has dropped by nearly half a meter.

You must know that this mountain pond is the highest water level that has been reached in history.

This mountain pond presents a U-shape, and the water level at the top can drop by half a meter. The consumption is already very astonishing.

During this period of time, the daily water in the base was still groundwater. Although there was a pipe from the mountain pond that was introduced into the base, it was basically not used now.

In July, the seedlings are growing vigorously, which is the time when water is most needed.The water in the mountain pond has been released twice a few days ago to irrigate these fields.

Some of the sweet potatoes and corn that were planted before used relatively little water. They were connected to a pipe and watered twice, but did not consume much water.

On this day, Li Yu specially called everyone to start a meeting.

Li Yu stood in the center, except for Li Haoran and others who were on duty, some people from other bases were basically present.

"Everyone has seen it now. The weather has been very hot recently, and it has not rained. It is a good thing that there is no rain, which means that there is no zombie tide. But it is also a bad thing. As you can see, the people on the other side of the mountain pond The water level has dropped," Li Yu said.

"So, what I want to tell you is that in the near future, I hope everyone will save water and not waste water. We don't know how long this hot weather will last."

"understood."

"Okay, let's all pay attention."

"Okay, boss."

Everyone was thoughtful, especially the uncle. During the recent search, he found that some low-lying ponds formed under the previous heavy rain were basically dry.

"Then let's all save water and don't waste water resources. We don't know how long the sun-exposed weather will last." The second uncle added next to it.

"Okay, second uncle."

"Okay, Brother Li."

"Ok."

In these dry and hot weather, everyone is prone to heat stroke.

So until the last two days, all outings have stopped.

Although there are fewer and fewer zombies outside, people are still very uncomfortable in this hot weather.

But there is also an advantage, these days of exposure, the sun is extremely abundant.The power was never exhausted in the past, and even the battery was fully charged.

You can even turn on the air conditioner all day without worrying about power consumption.This also allows everyone to get a better rest. Although the weather is hot, they can also get a better rest in the air-conditioned room.

In addition, because of the abundant power, the power used by everyone on electronic products can also be released.

On cooler nights, there are times when movies are shown in the central open air.It brings back memories for parents and grandparents.

The hot weather and the abnormal boredom made everyone feel unmotivated.

In the duty room, two air conditioners are installed at the back. In this kind of weather, if you are on duty under the sun, you will suffer from heat stroke in a short time.

Li Yu is on duty today. In this air-conditioned room, Li Yu doesn't want to go out for a minute because it's too hot outside.It feels like it's going to burn for a while.

He poured a glass of lemonade, added two ice cubes to it, drank a couple of gulps, and looked outside the base from a distance to observe the situation outside.

Next to him was Li Hang, who was bored by the side. He looked at the electronic products next to him, and then at his eldest brother.

Finally he sighed.Said: "Brother, I'm going to the bathroom."

Li Yu said speechlessly: "Go. Don't tell me"

Li Hang came up not long after he left, and immediately said, "Brother, can we go fishing again after we finish our shift?"

Li Yu shook his head and said, "Go if you want. I won't go today."

Li Yu has been hit by fishing too many times, and now he doesn't want to go fishing anymore.

Outside the base, the sun was shining brightly.

The sound of cicadas stopped, and the trees outside were a little wilted.

The leaves are limp and listless, hanging on the branches.

In the drought after the heavy rain, under the sun, a lot of soil outside the base was dried out, and the ground was hard when stepped on.

Outside the base, there are also some farmlands. These farmlands actually grow some crops, but these crops are all the rice that was cut off before, and some of them are left behind.

However, under these days of exposure to the sun, the water in the paddy fields has been completely evaporated.

These crops were also sunburned to death, from wilting, to drying up, and finally turning into strands of withered yellow strips.

There are also large pieces of dry and cracked land on the ground, which is a natural disaster.

Torrential rain is a natural disaster, and today's drought is also a natural disaster.

The exposure to the sun these days has made everyone a little bit unmotivated.

However, whether it is the second uncle, grandpa or others, they are all very attentive to the crops planted in the farmland. This is their future ration.Even now, there is still plenty of food.

In this hot weather, some green buoys floated out of the paddy fields, and in the high temperature of more than 40 degrees, the surface of the paddy fields began to bubble.

When you step on it, your whole foot feels like it's going to burn.It's too hot.

In order not to waste water, Li Yu also planted some other crops around the paddy fields.

In this hot weather, the wind has disappeared, the chirping of insects and birds has also disappeared, and the whole land is extremely quiet.

It's the opposite of being in a torrential rain.
