Chapter 10 - Pray for Help!

In order to prevent the virus from spreading, Li Zimu made up his mind and ordered the human race to throw away the bodies of their companions.

"adfasfa! (The snow has stopped!)"

Suddenly there was a commotion and Li Zimu turned his head to look.

The leader's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to Li Zimu, stumbling, "The snow... the snow has stopped!"

"Go out and take a look!"

Li Zimu became excited, thinking that the disaster was over!

The human race quickly made way for the two to exit the cave.

"Crack~"

The withered yellow head popped out from the snow-white ground.

Li Zimu quickly took in the situation outside.

"Hahaha! The snow has stopped! The disaster is over!"

After climbing out of the cave, Li Zimu shouted excitedly on the snow.

Then, humans evacuated from the cave one after another. They were also very excited. Five years, a full five years. Because of this sudden disaster, half of their companions died.

They cheered with joy, they shed tears of happiness, the disaster has passed and a new life has come!

But this joy lasted less than two years before it was broken...

We thought that the Earth would recover a little vitality in two years, but in the blink of an eye, the sun was high in the sky, the whole Earth was scorching hot, and the land was barren for thousands of miles.

Many plants died one after another, most animals died due to the high temperature, and rivers dried up under the scorching sun.

The human species began to face the fatal problem of lack of life-giving water.

They were confused as to why God treated them like this. The harsh winter had just passed and the scorching summer had arrived.

Every human being knelt on the ground and prayed for rain.

Li Zimu watched all this with bitterness. Coming from the 21st century, he naturally did not believe in the concept of God.

As expected, human beings are so vulnerable under the power of nature.

The leader stood beside Lizimu in silence and glanced at Lizimu. In his eyes, Lizimu was like a god.

He hoped that Li Zimu could lead them through this crisis like he did last time.

Li Zimu also noticed his gaze. He was accustomed to this kind of gaze.

But whenever he encountered a problem that he couldn't solve, this kind of gaze made him feel extremely stressed.

The fate of the entire human race fell on his shoulders, weighing him down to the point of suffocation.

"Well, let's give it a try. Tomorrow I'll take some people to find a suitable location to see if we can dig out groundwater..."

Li Zimu swallowed to moisten his dry throat.

The next day came in a flash.

Li Zimu led a group of humans and took tools to continuously survey the geographical location nearby.

These humans naturally didn't understand, so all the tasks fell on him alone.

Being in a high position and possessing great power, he is determined to create a future for the human race!

After a day of survey, Li Zimu roughly compared five locations where groundwater was suspected to exist.

The next day, he led a group of humans to start digging wells.

The atmospheric pressure of this world is almost the same as the atmospheric pressure of the world Li Zimu was in before.

So water will appear when the digging depth reaches ten meters, but just in case, Li Zimu plans to dig two meters deeper.

As long as you dig up groundwater and get a two-meter-long vine, you can use a bucket to draw water.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

After a huge amount of manpower was expended, the first location was dug. Unfortunately, there was no water source there.

Li Zimu was not discouraged, as there were still four positions.

Maintaining the efficiency of digging once every three days.

Second place, no water source...

The third place, no water source...

Fourth place, no water source...

Li Zimu's face became more and more ugly. Looking at the humans who fell down exhausted one by one, his hands trembled slightly.

Digging a well for more than ten days is undoubtedly a huge project that can only be solved by manpower without any machinery.

The human race was already very short of water, and with such a large project, many humans almost died of thirst.

In order to survive, the leader even used the entire tribe's water resources to supply this well-digging team.

"Ten meters away..."

Li Zimu's lips were cracked. He had already given up hope. It seemed that the human race would be extinct...

I can't accept this! I really can't accept this!

Why is it like this...I have tried so hard...why can't I save them...

If God didn't let him travel through time to save the human race, why did he let him travel through time!

The hand holding the stone hoe tightened, and he swung the stone hoe and smashed it down again and again, trying to vent his unwillingness...his incompetence...

The humans also noticed Li Zimu's abnormality and looked at each other in confusion.

The chief shook his head at them, picked up a stone hoe and joined Li Zimu.

Seeing this, other humans also stood up and continued digging the well.

As the well deepened, the surrounding soil began to change.

Li Zimu was stunned when he noticed the change, and then he was overjoyed.

"There's water! There's water here! Dig it for me!"

Li Zimu roared.

The other humans were stunned, and then became excited after they understood Li Zimu's meaning.

He picked up the hoe and dug hard.

The soil underground began to turn brown. This was because the soil absorbed moisture. The deeper we dug, the more moist the soil became.

Finally, when the well reached a depth of 11.5 meters, a stream of water gushed out.

Li Zimu signaled the humans above to quickly pull them up.

As people left one after another, the water level in the well began to rise.

Stop at a distance of 1.5 meters from the wellhead.

Li Zimu had people tie wooden barrels with rattan and put them down to fetch water, and then organized the human race to start drinking water.

Soon the first bucket of water was drawn up, and the human race respectfully handed the water to Lizimu, wanting him to be the first to taste this nectar.

Li Zimu scooped up some water and drank it. Although it smelled of mud, he thought it tasted good.

"There is hope..."

Li Zimu smiled, and the burden in his heart fell away. As the responsibility was lifted, his eyes went dark and his body went limp.

The leader was quick to support Li Zimu, preventing him from falling heavily to the ground.

After working day and night, Li Zimu collapsed...

Thanks to Li Zimu's contribution this time, the human race once again survived the crisis.

However, Li Zimu became seriously ill after this collapse.

After many days of care by humans, Lizimu woke up.

Realizing his condition, he glanced at the humans crowded around his bed and smiled with relief, "I didn't disappoint you... I did it..."

He knew he would not live long, but so what, I saved a race, I did not bring shame to myself who had received higher education...

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past three years, the drought-stricken Earth has gradually returned to normal, and after a heavy rain, life has returned to the earth.

Li Zimu also died of illness in the same year. He was smiling before he left. Although God played a joke on him and sent him to this world, he did not regret it...

On the day Li Zimu passed away, the entire human race buried him with great ceremony. At this time, the human race had slowly begun to get rid of its animal nature, and rationality was increasingly taking over.

According to later records, the human race named him "Du'e Zhenjun", which means to defeat natural disasters and save people from suffering!
