Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

10:30 AM.

Harmony Garden.

After a night’s hustle, the exhausted people of Harmony Garden were finally relieved by the ceasing of the rain.

The sun had come out.

The number of zombies had dwindled, with those remaining either killed or driven away in search for cooler places to linger.

The people of Harmony Garden were extremely tired, to the point that they could fall asleep instantly given a bed.

”Mr. Wang, we’re going to rest now,” said the lean man.

”Mr. Wang, Da Zhuang and I will go and rest,” Xiao Mei said.

Mr. Wang looked at Xiao Mei and Da Zhuang, speaking softly, ”You all worked hard last night. Go and get some rest.”

The few who were still in good shape continued to keep watch around the gate.

Now that the sun was up and the zombies had retreated, there shouldn’t be any major problems.

Mr. Wang’s mood brightened with the emerging sun, feeling much better.

His eyes suddenly caught sight of a place that pained his heart: due to those zombies breaking in and their search through the fields, some of the corn had been trampled, all by those damn zombies.

...

Not far away, everyone had to stay hidden; this area was full of low-rise housing, with the tallest building only three stories high.

A group of more than twenty people, if all were to come out to inspect, it would be very easy to be discovered.

Hence, most stayed inside the house, resting and ready for action.

Li Yu, holding a telescope, was on the third floor, concealed behind a window, secretly observing the movements at Harmony Garden.

It seems there aren’t many people inside Harmony Garden right now.

”Bring that guy in the tank top over here. I have questions for him. Weren’t there supposed to be over a hundred people? Why do I see only a few outside?” Li Yu called out to those behind him.

”Bro, uh, that guy, got taken out,” Li Tie said somewhat sheepishly.

Li Gang was also speechless; those two brothers were one more efficient than the other.

Li Yu was stunned upon hearing this. He had just mentioned it a minute ago, and the guy had already been taken care of?

”Er... alright, never mind,” Li Yu said as he noticed the wet ground.

Remembering that it had just rained and they had encountered zombies last night—but their place was small.

Easy to defend.

Looking closely, many zombie corpses were lying under the metal fences.

Ah, that made sense. They had been taking turns defending against the zombies all night.

So the people of Harmony Garden were the same, except their place was indeed larger and would definitely need more defenders.

Perhaps, they were resting now, since the sun had only just risen.

Li Yu’s eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of danger.

He was a kind-hearted person at core, but he was never merciful when he had to act. His memories before rebirth honed his precision in seizing the right opportunity.

Now was the perfect time to deal with the people in Harmony Garden.

Why wait for trouble to come when you can eliminate it first? That was Li Yu’s habit and principle.

What if there’s trouble that can’t be resolved in a short time?

Take it slow.

”Tiezi, notify them to prepare for battle. Also, ask Third Uncle to come up here,” Li Yu told Li Tie, turning around.

”Okay,” Li Tie responded.

Before long, Third Uncle came up and took the telescope from Li Yu’s hands. He observed from the left and then to the right. His speed was not fast.

Two minutes later, Third Uncle said, ”Now is a good chance.”

Li Yu nodded and said, ”There are over a hundred of them on their side; I estimate the majority are sleeping or resting. If we get in now and take out those on the outside, the rest won’t be an issue.”

After saying this, Li Yu continued, ”Third Uncle, do you have any suggestions for the attack route?”

After all, Harmony Garden also had seven or eight guns, although according to what the man in the tank top said, they were all taken from the arsenal, only handguns.

But they were still guns.

Third Uncle thought for a moment and said, ”I just took a look; there are a total of 6 people guarding over there, spaced 20 meters apart. It would be better for us if we could take them out quickly.”

”I suggest you, Xiao Tie, Li Gang, Dapao, and Tianlong, the six of us go over first, try not to be detected, and then quickly take out those six. What do you think?” Third Uncle said.

”Third Uncle, we brought crossbows. It’s very easy to be discovered crossing that open area ahead; let’s take them out with arrows first, then move forward,” Li Yu said.

Third Uncle nodded.

The two further refined the attack plan, double-checking the resting positions of the Harmony Garden personnel that they had asked the man in the tank top about, while looking at it all from the window, confirming each location.

After their discussion, the two of them had a rough idea.

They went downstairs.

Everyone had already been waiting for a while and were now fully armed, wearing anti-explosion suits and bullet-proof vests.

Armed with submachine guns in their hands, and Dapao even holding a rocket launcher, Li Yu couldn’t help but smile a bit at the sight; a single shot from that rocket launcher would probably wake all of them up.

”Dapao, Tianlong, Third Uncle, Xiao Tie, Li Gang, the six of us will go first. They are likely resting now; once we get in, you guys immediately follow, splitting into two combat teams. Third Uncle, you lead one group.”

”According to what the man in the tank top said, here.” Li Yu pointed to a spot.

”This is their rest area. Third Uncle, you know the place we just talked about. You’ll take care of that area. I’ll deal with the left side,” said Li Yu.

”Okay. Time is of the essence, let’s set off as soon as possible; many of them are resting now. We need to seize this opportunity,” Third Uncle said while squatting down to tie his shoelaces.

”Right. Dapao, let’s use the crossbows first to deal with the people outside,” Li Yu said.

....

The six moved quickly, deftly maneuvering closer to Paradise, now less than 30 meters away. Ahead was a large, barren open space with an exposed road surface. Though there were zombie corpses on it, detection was still likely.

”Here. Dapao and Tianlong, you take care of the two on the left. Xiao Tie and Li Gang, you go for the two on the right,” Li Yu whispered.

The four stealthily moved, handling the high-quality crossbows that Li Yu had custom-made before the apocalypse. Despite being used for a year, they hadn’t given any trouble.

Meanwhile at Harmony Garden, paired up, they were resting and chatting sporadically.

Suddenly, there was a soft thud that drew their attention.

The sound was faint, but still startled them.

Looking in that direction, they saw the two companions to the right with an arrow stuck in their heads.

Just as they were about to shout.

”Whoosh!”

An arrow pierced directly through his throat.

Immediately after, his companion next to him also had his head penetrated by an arrow.
