Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Li Hang operated the drone, maintaining a 2-kilometer distance, gazing down from the sky.

Suddenly, Li Hang saw someone on the street in front, on top of the Government Building!

Lowering the drone slowly, it let out a whirring sound.

This attracted the attention of the person on the rooftop, who, panic-stricken upon seeing the drone, hurled stones at it.

But the altitude was too great, so after several throws, none of the stones struck the drone.

”Big brother, there’s someone on the street ahead, by the Government Building. Look,” Li Hang said, pointing at the control screen in his hands.

Although it wasn’t very clear and the person’s specific features could not be made out, their actions unequivocally informed them that this was a real person!

Li Yu looked closely, puzzled; they had come to this area many times before. They should take a look.

Having made up his mind, Li Yu took out his walkie-talkie and said to Li Tie: ”Tiezi, stop by the Village Government Building in Pei Xiang for a moment later; we saw someone from the drone over here.”

”Someone? Alright, I’ll stop for a bit,” Li Tie responded.

....

Meanwhile, the person on the rooftop, after failing to hit the drone, immediately ran down from the roof.

”Captain Lv, there’s a drone on the rooftop, keeping an eye on us over here,” the person said.

”A drone?” Captain Lv frowned; it had been a year since the apocalypse erupted, who could still be using such a thing?

Who exactly was it? They had not easily escaped the danger of zombies and finally found a relatively safe place, this Government Building.

And now there’s someone else?

Captain Lv felt a headache coming on.

At that moment, Old Xie, who was on sentry duty at the door, also ran over to Captain Lv, saying, ”There’s a convoy coming to the entrance.”

Hearing this, Captain Lv’s gaze sharpened: ”Call everyone; arm yourselves.”

Right now, with people coming over rashly and using drones for reconnaissance, whether they’re friend or foe was unknown, but in any case, they had to prepare for combat.

Before Captain Lv even made it to the entrance, he saw Li Tie approaching him, holding a submachine gun.

Li Yu stood behind him, observing the house from atop the vehicle.

Then he suddenly saw a familiar face, Captain Lv?

Actually, he had always had a good impression of Captain Lv.

Back when they were hunting down refugees, his intention was to eradicate future threats; those refugees had exposed their base’s location.

He had painstakingly managed and cautiously protected it, and just like that, the refugees became privy to it, and the information would inevitably spread.

Although the exposure of their base’s location was unavoidable, he still wanted to hide it as much as possible.

Chasing them to Jiefang City, not killing all the refugees, not simply wiping out everyone in Jiefang City, was because he still had some conscience.

Jiefang City insisted on sheltering these refugees; he also wanted to see how Jiefang City would meet its end!

”Captain Lv? Haven’t seen you in a long while,” Li Yu said with a smile, his tone conveying a sense of friendliness.

Captain Lv nodded at Li Tie, who was approaching from the front, by way of greeting, then heard Li Yu’s voice.

Looking up, from below, he saw Li Yu looking down at him with a friendly face.

Captain Lv’s expression was complex, mixed with shame and regret; amidst those emotions, there was a slight relief.

He regretted not taking Li Yu’s warning seriously when it was given.

And that they had sheltered these refugees, although it was mainly Director Zhang who was responsible, in the end, Jiefang City collapsed and became like this...

At that time, they should have been more resolute in opposing the refugees’ entry into Jiefang City.

There is no such thing as a pill for regret in the world, and Director Zhang has already paid with his life for what he has done.

Being a good person, in this apocalyptic world, sometimes means being cruelly fast to die.

”Director Li, long time no see...” Captain Lv wanted to say that Li Yu had mentioned before they could join them, and asked if that was still an option.

But what happened in Jiefang City slapped him hard across the face.

Li Yu had already warned him.

In the end, he only has himself to blame, looking at Jiefang City from Li Yu’s perspective.

Imagine if Li Yu wanted to deal with the refugees, Jiefang City resisted, and took them in. Li Yu kindly warned them, but they did not take it seriously.

Now they are running around like homeless dogs, hoping others will still shelter them.

The deaths of those recently, especially those close to him who fled Jiefang City, made Captain Lv no longer care about face.

Thinking of the goodwill Li Yu had shown him before, he wondered if Li Yu would let him join.

So, swallowing his pride, he said: ”Director Li, can we join you?”

He went straight to the point, expressing what he most wanted to say as his first words.

Li Yu looked at Captain Lv in surprise upon hearing this. He hadn’t expected Captain Lv to be so direct and to change his mind so quickly.

”How about Jiefang City now?” Instead of answering immediately, Li Yu asked him about the situation in Jiefang City.

Hearing that Li Yu didn’t respond directly, Captain Lv felt disappointed and, with some sadness, replied, ”Jiefang City is gone. We shouldn’t have let those refugees in without listening to your advice. After the refugees came, the tensions escalated, and a riot broke out.”

”Where are the others? And Director Zhang?” Li Yu asked.

”Director Zhang was knocked unconscious by a brick, and later, without timely medical treatment, he died. The others are scattered everywhere, probably all fled to various places,” Captain Lv said, looking like a man hammered down, as if his spine had been crushed, shrinking his height.

Li Hang, listening in the background, seemed somewhat smug, with a sense of satisfaction on his face. If they had just killed those refugees, they wouldn’t have had all this trouble.

Not only did they prevent them from dealing with the refugees, but they also ignored the warnings.

Heh, serves them right.

Li Tie, Li Gang, and others were lamenting when they heard this. They didn’t expect the refugees to have caused the collapse of Jiefang City, becoming the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Li Yu, hearing what Captain Lv said, was expressionless, showing neither Schadenfreude nor sympathy.

Every action has consequences that one must bear.

Li Yu had once greatly admired the Captain Lv in front of him, competent, yet somewhat indecisive.

As for the refugees in Jiefang City, Captain Lv had also felt they should not let them in, but he didn’t insist.

What a pity.

As for whether to let him join the base, Li Yu was in deep thought. Currently, they were about to seek out a military base, a matter of great importance, and they absolutely could not let them know about it for the time being. Secondly, Captain Lv currently had four or five people who seemed to be his family with him, which was not very convenient.

They couldn’t let them join for now, but there could be another way—at the base’s periphery, they could still make use of a few people.

After pondering for a while, Li Yu said, ”Here’s the deal, for now, you will act as our external team. If you encounter problems, we will try to help you solve them, and if other forces come, we will protect you.

And your part is to help us gather news from around, and report to us in a timely manner.

Let’s arrange it like this for now. How about it, do you agree?”
