Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

A week before, Li Yu had called all relatives living outside, hoping they could come home for a visit.

However, not everyone could make it back. His cousins in the far north declined due to other commitments. His Uncle, who holds a leadership position in the WJ team in the county, agreed to come for a visit.

Additionally, from Li Yu’s father’s side, only the Second Uncle and Aunt were able to make a trip home, while the Third Uncle was away on a business trip and couldn’t return.

Facing this situation, Li Yu felt helpless, knowing that the apocalypse was imminent, yet he couldn’t reveal it, which made him feel miserable.

Early in the morning, Li Yu drove an SUV to pick up his grandparents and bring them to the rural tourist park. As soon as Grandpa and Grandma got out of the vehicle, they were captivated by the beautiful scenery.

While showing his grandparents around, they happened upon Grandma, who was fertilizing a vegetable garden near the rice paddy.

Li Yu’s mother, Liu Fanghua, took over from Grandma, allowing the two elderly individuals to chat.

Elsewhere, Grandpa found Grandpa by the Mountain Pond who was fishing, and the two elderly men chatted intermittently...

When Li Yuan returned home and saw the grand scale of the rural tourist park, she was momentarily stunned.

Especially when she opened the room and saw the gifts Li Yu had prepared for her, which he had mentioned during their phone calls, she was so delighted she almost jumped for joy!

”Brother, did you become rich?” Li Yuan exclaimed, eyes wide in surprise.

For her, the surprise was too great. From the moment she entered the villa, she was so shocked that she couldn’t close her mouth.

”I made a small fortune and will now settle down here. By the way, you can take a leave and stay home for a while, it’s a good time to spend with the family. Don’t go out for now,” Li Yu said.

”How can that be, I haven’t asked for leave yet,” Li Yuan pouted.

”Anyway, you can’t go anywhere during this time!” Li Yu said assertively.

...

On October 2, the whole family reunited under the ancient banyan tree, setting up roughly three tables with nearly 20 people.

At dusk, the banyan tree was lit by a huge light that made the surroundings bright as day.

The family sat together, eating and drinking.

Li Yu’s Uncle, Liu Jianwen, sipped his wine and then said, ”Yu, your tourist park is quite large. It’s much bigger than I thought. When are you planning to open?”

Li Yu, looking at his robust Uncle who often was busy due to regular duties and hard to find at times,

finished the chicken wing he was eating in two or three bites, unable to deny that his mother’s cooking skills were superb.

Even under high-intensity physical activities, Li Yu had gained five kilos since his return.

Li Yu responded casually, ”In a few days, there are still some areas that need to be improved.”

The family was gathered, and Li Yu originally wanted to encourage them to visit whenever they were free.

But everyone was busy with their own affairs. Fortunately, at least this time everyone had returned home, and they would not be traveling far for a while.

Second Uncle had to stay for a while due to family matters, and Aunt temporarily came home to take care of her children’s education.

Grandpa and Grandma were attracted by the environment here and decided to stay for a longer term.

Time slowly passed...

At the end of October, Li Yu called his cousins and Third Uncle, who were far away, telling them that one of his elderly relatives in M city had a friend in the Government who hinted that something might happen soon.

Just like before, he urged them to come back.

But, just as Li Yu had expected, they didn’t believe him. Thus, Li Yu could only advise them to stockpile some supplies.

On November 3, the day suddenly became extremely hot, the temperature during the cool November weather soared to over 38 degrees.

Major television channels reported this bizarre event:

”Our station reports, according to experts, the current high temperature is caused by a solar particle eruption, and this heat should soon pass.”

”In urban news, we see now, a family living in the Northeast, Ms. Xie told us, that normally at this time they would be preparing cabbages and other winter vegetables...”

Southern Satellite TV interviewed a young man, the female host asked him, ”Does this hot weather trouble you?”

”Yes, this terrible weather is really bugging us, it used to be around ten degrees during this season, now it’s like the summer, can’t understand it.”

The bright sun remained in the sky for 16 hours, making the day as hot as if it were on the equator.

After the high temperatures, came 16 hours of night, the temperature dropped rapidly to below -10℃.

In the following days,

day and night became completely chaotic,

sometimes 16 hours of daylight, sometimes 16 hours of nighttime.

The temperature difference between day and night shifted from the previous dozen degrees to over fifty degrees.

It was unpredictable.

This brought many problems to the public, and suddenly, discussions about the apocalypse

swirled everywhere.

The Government also issued a notice, advising residents to buy food for about 10 days and try to stay indoors as much as possible.

People had already begun to stockpile supplies early,

but as the days and nights became more reversed and two weeks passed,

while the country still maintained order, public transportation began to operate 24 hours, although less frequently than before,

like a bus that previously came every 10 minutes now took about 20 minutes.

Uncle Liu Jianwen became busier, and on November 20, he suddenly contacted Li Yu, asking if Li Yu knew something.

Li Yu repeated his statement from the end of October, and mentioned the inside information from a friend in M city who is in a government position that some big events were about to happen.

During the call, Uncle said, ”I was at a meeting today, and the Government issued a notice that in three days, all transportation would be completely blocked, then advised us to stockpile more supplies.”

Li Yu smoothly suggested, ”How about letting your wife and child come here? You’re too busy now, can’t go to work classes, and here Grandpa and Grandma are also here.”

Liu Jianwen, hearing this, was somewhat persuaded. So he planned to have Li Yu come the next day to pick them up.

However, unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, he received a call from Uncle:

”Li Yu, come to the city right now by car, and take your Aunt here. I just received a call, a whole village has been infected with a virus, turning into zombies like in the movies. I’m on my way to the scene now. This doesn’t seem ordinary...”
