Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Li Yu and the others rested at the base for two days, their condition had mostly recovered, and they were ready to set off for the second time.

They replenished their ammunition and gasoline, and it was still the same group of people.

But this time, they added Yutong; she had wanted to come out last time, but it wasn’t very convenient.

This time she wanted to come out, and Li Yu agreed.

Thus, they set off, their destination this time being the old house mountain in the west.

A long time ago, Li Yu had been around this place, and he remembered there was an old house village.

It was another early morning when the group set off in their five vehicles.

Every time Li Yu went out, he would always look back at the base, the vast walls. Second Uncle and the others would always watch them leave.

They sped along their way.

It didn’t take long for them to reach a small town nearby, where Captain Lv and the others were still present.

Originally, when they returned to the base last time, Li Yu had thought about meeting with Captain Lv and his team again, but due to time constraints, he hadn’t.

This time it happened to coincide with their outing, so they went to find them first thing.

From a distance, they saw the Government Building, and before Li Yu and his team could get closer, the big doors of the Government Building in the town opened.

Coming out to meet them were Captain Lv and Lao Xie, among others, their faces showing delight upon seeing Li Yu.

The vehicles came to a stop, and Li Yu got out of the car.

He directly said to Captain Lv, ”Captain Lv, have you encountered any new people around here in the past two days?”

Captain Lv nodded and replied, ”Yesterday we met a man surnamed Sun, with a group of about a dozen people. But they were just passing through, so we didn’t speak in detail. They were also quite wary of us…”

Li Yu immediately asked, ”What are you lacking right now?”

Captain Lv seemed to accept his role as a vassal to Li Yu and his group, responding to Li Yu with the attitude of a subordinate: ”Director Li, what we lack the most right now is food. At this time, it’s very difficult to find supplies in the surrounding buildings.”

Li Yu looked at him and then said, ”The courtyard in your Government Building is actually quite large and surrounded by walls; it could be used to plant some crops. I brought you some seeds, which you can use to grow your own.”

Upon hearing this, Captain Lv nodded happily and said, ”Sure, we were thinking about planting some things, but couldn’t find any suitable seeds in the surrounding areas. Most of the seeds we found had been soaked in water.”

”Hmm. Tiezi, give them some seeds, and also a box of noodles,” Li Yu said.

Li Yu and his group were not short of food; in fact, they had plenty. But that didn’t mean that they would give a lot to Captain Lv at once, so the aid Li Yu provided was always just a little bit.

Giving too much would provoke greater greed. Giving just a little conveys the value more effectively.

After all, so far, Captain Lv and his group had not made any substantial contributions. Providing even this bit of food was already being kind to them.

Providing them with seeds was in hopes that they would be self-sufficient in the future.

After chatting with Captain Lv for a bit more, Li Yu boarded the vehicle and they set off.

After the last time Li Yu returned to the base, he discussed with Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and others in the base whether to let Captain Lv and his team join them.

The final answer was to not let them in for the time being.

So far, everyone who had come in was either a close relative of Li Yu or someone who had made some contributions to the base, and they were admitted only after being thoroughly vetted.

...

Heading west.

This trip, they arrived at their destination around two o’clock in the afternoon.

Looking at the somewhat familiar Old House Village, the village now seemed like a ghost town.

He remembered that Old House Village had many centennial camphor trees and some Red Army historical residence attractions.

Although Old House Village also has the words old house, it was still some distance away from Old House Mountain.

On the Old House Mountain, the peaks are steep.

At an altitude of over 800 meters, it is the highest mountain in the area.

Li Yu stood at the foot of the mountain, taking out a map to carefully examine the terrain of Old House Mountain.

There must be a more convenient place for transportation outside the military base; otherwise, it would be very difficult to transport munitions in.

After inspecting the area, Li Yu and the others found that there was only one cement road leading up the mountain.

However, this cement road was built on a particularly steep slope.

In fact, the road wasn’t built steep on purpose; it was simply because Old House Mountain itself was too steep.

The road was constructed in a ”zigzag” pattern; otherwise, it would have been a straight 90-degree incline.

Yet, even with the zigzag shaped road, one side of the road was a sheer cliff, and the other side a precipice, with the risk of falling if one was not careful while driving.

Falling from such a height meant almost certain death.

To reduce the risk and to be able to more carefully locate the military base, Li Yu decided to get out of the car and climb the mountain.

Leaving Li Tie and Wang Cheng behind, Li Yu and the rest got out of the car to start searching for the military base.

Taking out their detection equipment, everyone began slowly making their way up the mountain.

Along this road, they checked along the cliff face without missing any spot.

Aside from Li Gang and Li Hang, who were carrying detection equipment and slowly moving along the wall, the others were tapping here and there with iron rods and hammers.

As everyone continued to move forward, suddenly at mid-mountain, Li Hang excitedly shouted, ”It’s hollow, this place is hollow inside.”

Everyone’s attention quickly focused on the spot.

Li Gang even brought over his equipment to check again.

”Yes, there definitely is something wrong here, hahaha,” said Li Gang excitedly.

Even Li Yu’s face could hardly hide the joy.

Everyone started using hammers they had prepared, then military shovels to dig.

But alas, the wall was entirely made of granite mixed with soil and was extremely sturdy.

It took everyone over ten minutes of pounding just to break open a small area.

Seeing this, Li Yu glanced at Dapao, who had a backpack full of hand grenades and explosive packs.

Dapao immediately understood Li Yu’s expression.

”Everyone, clear out,” Dapao said, holding two explosive packs.

”Everyone, clear out,” Li Yu echoed.

Using hammers and picks to break open the cliff would obviously take too long; it would be faster to blast open an entrance with explosive packs.

Everyone immediately moved up towards the mountain peak, so that if the blast was too powerful, they wouldn’t be struck by any rolling dirt or rocks.

Dapao put the explosive packs in position,

lit the fuse of the packs, hissing as the fuse began to burn.

He quickly hurried away; they had tested these explosive packs on zombies before, and the explosive force was exceptionally strong!

The fuse burned for nearly 30 seconds, and Dapao had already run over a hundred meters away.

Everyone watched the explosive packs. The fuses on these packs had been extended to avoid injury from the blast.

The fuse kept shortening.

Boom!
