Oil City.

Li Yu was idly doing push-ups on the ground. As the number of people at the Big Camphor Tree Base increased, their power surged, and there were fewer tasks that required his personal attention.

But since his rebirth, his physical strength had been improving over time, and he seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of energy every day.

So he had to find ways to expend some of his energy daily, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep due to his excessive vigor.

After doing five sets of fifty, Li Yu felt a slight exertion. He stood up and took a bottle of water from the RV, drinking two big gulps of it.

Looking at the wall not far away and recalling what Old Bi said in the evening, he estimated that the wall repairs would be finished in two or three days.

He also thought of the zombie fire sea plan made during the afternoon meeting and smiled.

By tomorrow, part of the cooperative personnel could go outside the wall to handle this matter.

Once these were done, returning to the Big Camphor Tree Base would coincide with the approaching typhoon.

Li Tie from the RV saw Li Yu daydreaming outside. He dropped the cards in his hand and said to Li Yu, "Bro, can you take over for me? I need to speak with my dad."

"Alright, I'm coming."

Li Yu heard him, dusted off his hands, and sat in the spot Li Tie previously occupied.

"Tiezi's out, let's restart." Dapao seized the moment to toss his cards on the table and scattered the deck.

"Damn, you're such a cheat, we were about to win. You f***ing..." Yang Tianlong expressed his displeasure at Dapao's shameless act.

"Hehe, Tiezi left, let's start over." Dapao grinned as he took the cards from Li Gang, ready to shuffle them.

Li Gang, feeling a bit resentful, said, "The bro could continue playing with Xiao Tie's cards. What you're doing is shameless."

"Draw cards, draw cards. Let's not dwell on the last round." Dapao quickly shuffled the deck and invited everyone to draw cards.

Everyone relented and continued playing.

Li Yu watched them and smiled, saying nothing more.

Busy all day, there was little time to rest, but people are not machines. Besides, the current environment was still safe, and relaxing a bit at night did no harm.

...

The night passed uneventfully.

Early the next morning, those cooperative personnel arrived punctually below Oil City at eight o'clock.

The gates of Oil City opened, and Xiao Jun, Ju Tianrui, and a few others led Old Huang out.

Some people from the Original Oil City were assigned to work at the oil refinery side, but not many hands were needed there, so the rest also helped repair the wall.

Amid the crowd, five people gathered, excitedly watching the people coming out of the Oil City fort.

They looked at each other, determination in their eyes.

This time, it was do or die.

Soon enough.

They got to work.

The noise of machinery arose, with Ju Tianrui and the others monitoring them from high ground, guns in hand, looking for any suspicious movements.

While they were busy, Li Yu, Luo, Old Bi, and others came out to inspect the oil pit, checking the ground height and evaluating the feasibility of yesterday's plan.

Li Yu observed the cooperative personnel repairing the wall and turned to Old Bi, saying, "Let's execute the plan we discussed in yesterday's meeting today. There's no need to wait for the wall to be completely repaired; we can handle both tasks simultaneously."

Old Bi nodded and said, "Alright, I'll make the arrangements right away."

With that, he ran towards the wall.

Coincidentally, there were two people in the Original Oil City fort who studied construction engineering, and they had been helping with repair suggestions for the wall these days.

After Old Bi left, Li Yu took in the distant scenery, enjoying the gentle morning breeze.

"Okay, Luo, let's head back to Oil City and check on the results later." Li Yu then said to Luo. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Li Yu led Luo and the others back into Oil City.

Repairs on the wall had people working both inside and outside, but Old Bi and their guards did a good job, with someone overseeing at regular intervals.

Wan Nian, who was originally tying the steel rebar, saw Li Yu approaching the wall and signaled to Brother Bao not far away.

Brother Bao noticed the people with Li Yu were armed and subtly shook his head.

Not the right moment!

Brother Bao was about to lift the bound rebar and called out to the surrounding, "Someone give me a hand."

Wan Nian took the chance to assist, and they both carried the tied rebar to the makeshift scaffold under the wall.

"Why didn't we act? Missing this chance might mean none in the future. We can't leave the wall's vicinity." Wan Nian checked the surroundings and seeing no attention on them, whispered.

Brother Bao replied in a low voice, "Don't worry, that young man usually checks the wall around four in the afternoon. We'll act then, just at dusk. They won't come after us at night."

"Alright." Hearing this, Wan Nian felt reassured, knowing Brother Bao had been preparing thoroughly.

The two placed the tied rebar on the scaffold and stepped down.
