Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Captain Tao saw Li Yu’s bright smile, and felt even more panicked inside.

The gunfire outside the walls stopped after a while.

At this moment, Captain Tao just wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible, the base was so large, and from what he could see now, there were almost 20 people, each armed, obviously not to be trifled with.

He couldn’t figure out what was happening with the gunfire outside, but his intuition told him that it had something to do with these people.

Captain Tao then said: ”Can we proceed with the exchange quickly? We are still hungry here, and some of our brothers are waiting too.”

Li Yu said with a smile: ”Don’t worry, they won’t have to wait long. Look, here come your brothers.”

As Li Yu spoke, the gates of Weng City were opened, and a group of people came in from outside, their hands empty and bound.

Following them were Third Uncle and others, holding guns at them.

”Move it,” Dapao said.

One of them had been shot in the leg and was limping slowly, but after Dapao shouted, he was forced to quicken his pace.

Seeing this scene, Captain Tao, Hua Chuanxiong, and others felt a chill in their hearts: It’s over.

Now they were doomed.

Li Yu walked two steps towards the door and saw the middle-aged man next to Third Uncle.

This man was indeed from Harmony Garden; it was actually their first meeting, although he had seen his picture in Mr. Wang’s room at Harmony Garden.

Li Yu said with a smile: ”Mr. Wang, I’ve long admired your reputation.”

Mr. Wang said with a complex look: ”Hmph! You murderous demon, you won’t meet a good end.”

Li Yu’s expression chilled, then he said: ”Lao Lu, tell them. Who started this first.”

Lao Lu and Lao Xie remembered how their brothers had been killed before by these people from Harmony Garden without having done anything.

Anger flashed in their eyes.

Lao Lu said: ”Nonsense! You were the ones who brought trouble to us and killed our people. What nonsense are you spouting?”

Mr. Wang was left speechless, overwhelmed by endless regret.

He should have never believed Xie Liuhai’s words; he hadn’t expected Li Yu and his group to be this powerful.

It had only brought disaster upon himself and the people of Harmony Garden.

But remembering those who had been killed, Mr. Wang said: ”I didn’t know they would kill your people; that was just a misunderstanding. But you! You slaughtered all the people of Harmony Garden. Are you even human?”

Li Yu replied slowly: ”Forgive where you can.

A cycle of vengeance will never end.

Well said, but I don’t believe it. Why?

Why can you kill our people, and we cannot kill yours?

Why can you harbor malice against us, and we can’t towards you?

I am a man of clear debts and grudges.

You kill me, so I kill you. The reasoning is very simple.”

Li Yu’s words were not actually meant for Mr. Wang, but rather for Dapao, Lao Lu, and others in the base.

After having slaughtered so many people previously, it was inevitable that some would think it too cruel.

But everyone understood that in this apocalyptic, morally degenerate time, a core set of values was needed.

Otherwise, it was easy for morale to disperse.

Upon hearing Li Yu’s words, Mr. Wang closed his eyes, filled with an inexplicable sadness.

He then said: ”We had no choice, we just wanted to get some food from your side, we just wanted to survive, why must you be so cruel, leaving no room

Humanity must ultimately unite. Only by coming together can we resist the zombies, and move towards the future, a big fire made from many pieces of wood...”

Li Yu, tired, seeing Mr. Wang still talking, couldn’t be bothered to discuss further.

He then gestured to Dapao.

Dapao plunged a knife into Mr. Wang’s thigh.

Mr. Wang was a tough man, not making a sound even after the knife stabbed in.

”Full of righteousness and morality, yet all full of thieves and prostitutes inside, you speak those grandiose words quite well.

But why do you want to kill people? Don’t use these kinds of words to press me; if you want to cooperate, can’t you do it openly and honorably?” Li Yu roared.

Captain Tao and the others beside him were all shocked and stared dumbfounded.

What Mr. Wang told them wasn’t the same as this.

From the conversation just now, they probably understood something, seems like this Mr. Wang wanted to steal someone’s stuff and after failing, got chased down to their lair.

Wait, something’s wrong, this situation seems familiar.

Isn’t this their current situation!

At this moment, Captain Tao and his team felt so regretful that their stomachs turned green, not expecting this band of fierce people to be so formidable and ruthless.

This is screwed.

Now that Mr. Wang and they have a feud, it wouldn’t transfer to them, would it?

”Cough cough cough.”

Captain Tao coughed twice and said: ”That, we, we really had a misunderstanding, we also came here because we were misled by Mr. Wang.

Actually, we just wanted to exchange some food with you, nothing else.

.....”

Li Yu listened patiently, then asked further: ”Anything else to add? I’m a reasonable person, I don’t kill without reason.”

Captain Tao was delighted to hear those words, not expecting them to be so reasonable.

At the same time, he thought to himself, if we can leave here, we must make a thorough plan, even utilizing zombies.

That’s the only way we can take down this place.

And when the time comes, I’ll settle the score with these people!

Meanwhile, Hua Chuanxiong, who was also nearby, looked towards him.

The two exchanged glances, each understanding the other’s thoughts.

Over more than a year in the apocalypse, due to temporary kindness, they suffered numerous setbacks.

Under the pressure of survival, they gradually realized, only by plundering, only by being ruthless, can they survive.

Captain Tao turned his eyes and said: ”We actually came from a far place, we pose no threat to you.

Look, can we reach cooperation?

Later we can work together to grow and recreate glory.”

Li Yu nodded, then pointed to the person who was tied up by Captain Tao, who had come from Jiefang City.

He slowly said: ”Since you sincerely want to cooperate, then why did you tie up someone? How do you explain that?”

Captain Tao’s corner of the mouth twitched, this...

He hadn’t thought of how to answer this question yet, but Hua Chuanxiong beside him responded:

”We were just too anxious to find you guys.

Setting off was right, but the method was indeed problematic. We surely shouldn’t have done this.”

Li Yu smiled and said: ”Well said, reasoned, okay, introduce yourselves.

Where are you from, how many people, what is your true purpose in coming here?”

Captain Tao, heartened by this, couldn’t believe that this person, who seemed to be in charge of the base, actually believed them.

It seems there’s a chance to get out alive, then glanced at the other Safe City people, gave a subtle signal with his eyes, indicating to everyone to keep their stories straight.

His gaze pondered for a while and then he said:

”We are from the east, quite far from here, we don’t have many people now, less than a hundred, and our purpose is very simple, just to seek cooperation with you, to see if we can exchange goods or something.”

”Uh-huh.” Li Yu nodded.

”Tie them all up,” Li Yu ordered.

Captain Tao heard this, somewhat stupefied, this was different from what was just discussed.

”You, what are you doing, we are sincerely seeking cooperation.”

Li Yu glanced at him and said: ”Exchanging goods, that’s something we only started these past two days, could you have known before you set off?

What Mr. Wang used to lure you here I don’t know, what he told you, I also don’t know.

But I do know, you are not telling the truth.

Tie them up.

I think, it’s time to hear the truth from you.”
