Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

A gust of wind blew by, carrying dust and sand into Yang Tianlong’s eyes.

Yang Tianlong rubbed his eyes and scratched his head, saying, ”Brother Yu, I trust you. You must have your reasons for doing this. Even if there isn’t a reason, well, well, then there is a reason.”

Hearing Yang Tianlong’s illogical statement, yet the words were filled with trust.

Li Yu felt warmth in his heart; after so many years, a brother is still a brother!

Li Tie and Li Gang, hearing this, nodded in agreement and said in unison, ”Tianlong is right! What he said makes a lot of sense!”

Huddled together in the wind, the few people squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands felt somewhat disheveled, unable to keep up with the conversation of Li Yu and the others. There was no logic at all.

Don’t they have brains?

Why does it still seem to make sense?

What’s happening?

Zhao Dapao, being a straightforward thinker, believed his own eyes and judgment, saying, ”Brother Yu, I trust you. Even if you did it, you definitely had your reasons.”

Li Yu heard the answer he wanted; he could not let their trust be betrayed.

He slowly said, ”Not saving them is because I’m selfish. I don’t want the trouble of bringing them in. To kill them is to avoid trouble. Moreover, they raped women and killed some innocents!”

Li Yu’s answer was very matter-of-fact.

Li Tie and Li Gang could understand Li Yu; after all, their family members were also in the base. Human nature is selfish.

Kinship and righteousness, sometimes it’s really hard to choose.

They just felt that what Li Yu did could not be said to be right or wrong; it might be heartless, but it was for the sake of family.

The greater good versus the lesser, right versus wrong, red versus black, positive versus negative.

Sometimes it isn’t possible to define absolutely, one can only say what mainstream societal views are.

Yang Tianlong and Zhao Dapao fell silent,

But then they remembered the siblings they had saved today;

They remembered how Li Yu was the first to stand up to lead the zombies away;

They thought of all the moments that everyone had spent together these days...

For a while, no one knew what to say.

Unexpectedly to Li Yu, Zhao Dapao was the first to speak, ”Brother Yu, I understand you.”

His tone paused, silence for a few seconds, he took a deep breath, seemingly using a lot of strength, and said, ”When I returned home, all the food in my house had been looted!”

”And also, Tianlong, Tiezi, Gangzi, I haven’t told you, but my parents weren’t killed by zombies; they were killed by people!” Zhao Dapao gritted his teeth, the hatred in his eyes almost spilling out.

Zhao Dapao’s eyes were bloodshot, his gaze filled with intense hatred.

He continued, ”People! Sometimes people are more despicable than zombies! My parents lived careful lives, they were the good Samaritans in the neighborhood, scrimping and saving their whole lives, donating so much money during disasters...”

”But why did they suffer such consequences! I don’t understand!” Zhao Dapao roared, from initial anger to current hysteria.

”They might have been killed for helping someone or perhaps by someone who barged into their house to loot food... in short, they weren’t killed by zombies, they were killed by people!”

”So, I understand you, Li Yu, I understand you. Protecting family, protecting those you care about, is more important than anything!”

Zhao Dapao’s words were somewhat choked up.

This was the first time Li Yu had seen Zhao Dapao like this; in his memory, Zhao Dapao was always quiet, reserved, prone to daydreaming, but he didn’t expect all these things had happened to him.

”Dapao, when you first came back, why didn’t you tell us! We would help you take revenge!”

Yang Tianlong said, and Li Tie and Li Gang also nodded.

Zhao Dapao lifted his bloodshot eyes, saying in despair, ”I don’t know who they are! I searched nearby for a long time, asked a few survivors, and none of them saw anything! What could I do!?!”

Zhao Dapao looked up, trying to keep the tears from falling.

The wind seemed to grow stronger.

Everyone fell silent.

After a moment, Li Yu walked over, patted Zhao Dapao on the shoulder, and said gently, ”Dapao, you still have us! We will help you find them! We’ll help you get revenge!”

Yang Tianlong and the others also came over, adding sternly, ”We’re with you, too!”

Dapao, moved, looked towards Li Yu and the others, feeling as if a layer of depression had been lifted from his heart. He exhaled slowly.

He nodded vigorously, uttering from deep within his chest, ”Mhm!”

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Village Chief’s son, who was already sitting on the ground, was moving towards the bushes by the concrete road, attempting to flee.

But Li Yu could not have failed to see him. Although he had been conversing with the others, he had been keeping an eye on these people out of the corner of his eye.

Li Yu walked over slowly, approaching the Village Chief’s son like a demon.

”Where do you think you’re going?” he asked, his tone mocking.

Hatred flashed in the eyes of the Village Chief’s son, just as he was about to say something.

But Li Yu stabbed him with a knife.

This time, Li Yu didn’t want to leave any loose ends behind.

The group crouching on the ground, witnessing this scene, shook slightly.

Li Tie, noticing this, looked at the sky and asked, ”Brother, what should we do with these people?”

Li Yu pondered for a while, looking at the vehicles that the group had driven over, feeling a bit conflicted.

Should they take them along to their hideout?

But what if, when they arrived at their hideout, these people didn’t cooperate and blew their cover?

Troublesome!

”Kill them!”

Upon hearing Li Yu’s response, the people crouched on the ground stood up abruptly, attempting resistance.

Li Tie and Li Gang, who were closest to them, sprang into action, drawing knives from behind.

Schlick! Two of the men were stabbed to death in an instant!

The last one, the man with the sharp voice, unlike the previous two, bolted towards the direction of the convenience store.

It seemed he wanted to fight for a slim chance of survival.

Before Li Yu could take any action, Zhao Dapao stepped forward quickly, and as the sharp-voiced man nearly reached the convenience store, Dapao threw his knife.

The Long Knife, like a Spear, struck the man’s shoulder, non-fatal, but it slowed his escape.

Zhao Dapao rushed up, pulled out a Dagger, grabbed the man’s hair, and slid the Dagger across his neck.

Blood spurted from the neck.

Zhao Dapao, with blood on his Dagger, calmly wiped it on his body before sheathing it back in its place.

Seeing Zhao Dapao’s actions, Li Yu felt a sense of appreciation.

Thus far, all those who had lured Zombies to their base were slain, and the Village Chief’s son, the ringleader, was fatally stabbed by Li Yu.

But!

Their hideout had not yet been dealt with; leaving it alone was not in Li Yu’s nature.

He preferred to nip troubles in the bud, though there were still many times when unexpected things could happen.

The more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen—Murphy’s law.

Since worrying, then solve it, to avoid restless nights.

...

Li Yu checked the gas station and saw there was still a little fuel left, so he filled up both vehicles.

Driving, they headed out toward the County!
