Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

After Song Qi had escorted Li Yu and Li Yuan out, she returned to Song Min’s side, a look of excitement on her face.

Seeing the expression on Song Qi’s face, Song Min’s own face exhibited a pampering smile. This younger brother had always been rather stubborn, often not heeding her words.

But in front of Li Yu, Song Qi always seemed obedient. At his adolescent age, he admired powerful figures the most.

”Sister, let me tell you, this base is huge. When you came in before, you didn’t see it. It’s surrounded by tall walls, and there are even two mountains inside.”

”At critical times, there’s hot water and electricity here. I heard them say that now everyone is assigned a room. Also, also, there’s even a garden here...” Song Qi excitedly told his sister, Song Min.

Listening to him, Song Min also felt extremely shocked. She had anticipated that Li Yu and the others definitely had a better life than hers.

But she didn’t expect that the life Li Yu and the others led was almost like the days before the apocalypse.

Apart from no internet, it wasn’t much different from before the apocalypse.

Li Yuan brought Song Min a wheelchair. With her injury, it wasn’t good for her to be lying down all the time. The wounds on her back were prone to fester if constantly pressed down, so sitting up was more breathable and beneficial for the wounds’ recovery.

Song Min slowly sat down in the wheelchair from the hospital bed, grimacing slightly as the movement pulled at her wounds.

Li Yuan pushed Song Min out of the medical room, with Song Qi following alongside. These past few days, due to his constant concern for Song Min, he had been by her sickbed and hadn’t had the chance to properly look around the base.

After the three left the medical room, they were greeted by a residential area with several villas and three rows of houses.

On the way, they encountered sisters who had known Song Min before, all of them running up to her.

They were extremely happy to see Song Min had woken up.

”Sister Song, you’ve finally woken up. You really scared us.”

The cheerful and cute young girl was the first to speak, her large black eyes full of care, although her complexion was somewhat pale.

”Sister Song, does it still hurt?”

”Sister Song, I tell you, the food here is too good. It’s really delicious.”

”Yeah, yeah, and then this place is really huge, there are so many people.”

...

Song Min listened to their words with a smile, then turned to the cheerful and cute girl, noticing her pale face.

Her mind recalled what Li Yuan had told her, feeling lucky that Song Qi and she had given her a blood transfusion, otherwise who knows what danger there might have been.

Looking at the young girl, she remembered their first meeting, how green and young she was.

Thus, her face showed gratitude: ”Xiao Han, thank you for saving me. If it weren’t for your blood transfusion, who knows...”

”Ptui, ptui, ptui, Sister Song, don’t talk nonsense,” the optimistic Xiao Han immediately said.

”And you all as well, sisters have worked hard,” Song Min looked around and addressed her sisters nearby.

Then she quickly changed the subject: ”I’ve talked with Boss Li, and now we’re considered to have joined them. There are a few things I want to talk to you about.

First, don’t follow me as the leader in the future; we’ll all follow Boss Li.

Second, joining them doesn’t mean we can be lazy and idle; we must show our worth.

Does everyone understand?”

Song Min had only just finished speaking when the people nearby seemed to want to say something, but hesitated before speaking.

”But...” One of the people tried to speak but was quickly interrupted by Song Min, ”No buts. In a team, there can only be one core soul and only one authority. From now on, I too will obey Big Brother Li, and you all should do the same. Remember this well.”

...

After chatting with her former sisters and issuing repeated admonitions, Song Min was pushed by Li Yuan to wander around the base.

In the base, facing the sunlight, Song Min saw the full view of the base. The surrounding walls weren’t exceptionally tall, but they were almost three stories high, and especially long.

The long walls, like an ancient dragon, encircled the base tightly, giving a special sense of security.

By the meandering stream, some beans and peanuts had been planted and were now blossoming along the winding creek, and the land in the base was extremely precious.

Many places were planted with edible crops.

Walking along, a small garden came into view, where in May the flowers were blooming profusely.

The fragrance of the sweet osmanthus drifted in the wind to her, and inhaling lightly, Song Min was greeted by a faint, pleasant aroma that lifted her spirits.

”This sweet osmanthus can later be used to make osmanthus cake, which tastes quite good,” Li Yuan said softly.

Hearing this, Song Min felt a longing for a beautiful life ignite within her—tending the fields, nurturing the flowers, making cakes from the blooms, brewing wine from the fruit.

The smile at the corner of her mouth widened, like ripples spreading across a lake surface.

Walking a full circuit beneath the walls, they met some people of the base. Song Min greeted them, and Li Yuan actively introduced them to each other, fostering mutual understanding.

In the course of these interactions, Song Min felt that the people in the base were genuinely kind-hearted, nothing like the people she had encountered outside the base.

What Song Min didn’t know, however, was that most of these people in the base had, to varying degrees, killed zombies, and even... humans.

They were friendly towards Song Min because they knew from Li Yu’s introduction that she would be joining the base.

But if she were an enemy, their attitude would likely be the opposite extreme.

After the round trip, on the way back to the medical room, they saw a bamboo forest. Curious, Song Min wanted to take a look inside, and Li Yuan pushed her in.

The bamboo leaves were crisp, rustling softly in the light breeze, encapsulating a serene tranquility.

As if isolating everything from the outside world.

The bamboo forest thrived, and in its midst lay a narrow, winding path paved with rubble. Li Yuan slowly pushed Song Min further inside.

The deeper they went, the less they could hear the outside world, and the further into the middle they got, the less they could see of the outside scene.

On the edge of the bamboo forest, looking through the bamboo, one could see the outside.

But as they moved deeper, under the layers of bamboo, what was outside could not be seen from within, standing inside looking out.

It was as if being in a world of green.

After the apocalypse, following several torrential rains, the plants all grew abnormally fast, including the crops which grew much quicker, but then returned to normal growth after the rain.

However, during these periods of rapid growth, the bamboo also rapidly grew, its growth already quite fast.

Now, the bamboo had become exceedingly tall.
