Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Inside the grain storage, there were some carts.

Xiao Liu and a few team members entered the granary, loaded up over a thousand jin of grain, and then pushed the grain out.

Captain Luo and the other team members held their guns and stood behind the rocks, ready for action.

There was no option, Black Snake and his men were many and strong, and they also had guns; they had to be on guard.

Captain Luo saw Xiao Liu and his team pushing out the grain, so he walked forward.

Before coming out from behind the rocks, he said to the team members behind him, ”Stay alert. If they dare to shoot because they’re not satisfied, we will strike back immediately.”

It was past four in the afternoon, and the sunlight was sparsely shining down through the leaves.

Sunlight cast tree shadows that formed dark silhouettes, yet the situation at this moment was extremely tense.

Captain Luo stepped forward, looked at Black Snake and his men, and said, ”Here’s the grain. Come and take it.”

After speaking, he directly allowed his teammates to place the cart in the middle, then returned.

After the team members placed the grain in the middle and returned to Captain Luo’s side, one asked, ”Captain, do you think, after they take this grain, they will leave?”

Captain Luo looked at the people in front of him, his brow furrowed tightly; in fact, he was also unsure, but now there was no other choice.

So he said, ”If they’re still not satisfied and force our hand, let them eat bullets! Remember, if it comes to shooting, conserve our ammunition; we have very little.”

Black Snake, from the opposite side, saw the golden rice on top of the cart, shimmering under the sun.

Looking at the rice, Black Snake felt as if he was seeing gold.

In this apocalyptic world, grain is even more precious than gold.

After hearing what Captain Luo, the leader of the other troop, said, Black Snake looked at his subordinate and said, ”Little Chicken, take a few men and bring back the grain first.”

Little Chicken adjusted his broken glasses, feeling somewhat conflicted, and said, ”Boss, what do we do once we’ve brought it back?”

Black Snake said irritably, ”I told you to go take it back first, don’t talk so much nonsense.”

”Oh, okay.” Little Chicken didn’t dare to talk back anymore, called over a few guys, and headed towards the pile of grain in the middle.

Squeak squeak squeak–

A few people pushed the small cart up to Black Snake. He plunged his hand into the rice, feeling it out.

It was indeed rice.

It seemed that the inside was all rice.

A greedy glint flashed in Black Snake’s eyes.

Seeing Black Snake and his men taking the cart of snacks away, Captain Luo peeked out and said, ”We’ve given you your share of the grain, hurry up and leave.”

A shift of gaze, and Black Snake loudly laughed, saying, ”Hahaha, sure thing, Captain Luo. We’ll take our leave now. See you.”

Hearing what Black Snake said, Captain Luo didn’t relax and shouted at Black Snake, ”Alright, we won’t see you off.”

Then, turning to Xiao Liu beside him, he said, ”You take someone to check if they have left.”

Meanwhile, on Black Snake’s side, just after telling Captain Luo they were leaving, he said to his subordinates, ”Let’s pull out.”

His subordinates said hurriedly, ”Boss, you also saw the few people opposite us; there must be more grain inside that cave, maybe many tons.

They only gave us a little over a thousand jin to send us away. It’s such a waste.”

”Yes, yes, boss, let’s fight them. If we do, all the grain inside will be ours.”

At this moment, a man with a high-pitched voice came out and said, ”What’s the fuss about? You guys understand nothing. The boss surely has other plans. Right, boss?”

Black Snake glared at him, then said to everyone, ”Know anything about military strategy, a bunch of illiterates? Ever heard of ’strike while the iron is hot, then it will weaken, and on the third attempt, it will be exhausted’? First we let them lower their guard, and then isn’t it better to attack them by surprise?”

”Boss is badass.”

”Boss is awesome.”

”Our boss is the one with strategic foresight.”

”Shh, keep it down, let’s get out of here quickly.” whispered the man with the thin voice.

.....

Watching Black Snake and the others withdrawing, Captain Luo let out half of the breath he was holding but still didn’t dare to relax his vigilance.

Seeing Xiao Liu and his squad, who had just followed orders, had gone after them, Captain Luo pondered for a moment. Then he said to his teammates: ”Don’t rush into anything for now, just observe for a bit.”

Meanwhile, Li Yu and his group, who had heard the communication between Black Snake and Captain Luo, had long since left the area.

Black Snake and his men had only moved a few hundred meters away, not even reaching mid-mountain, when they crouched in a clump of bushes.

It was springtime, a season of blooming flowers.

The hills were in full bloom with azaleas, painting faces with rosy hues.

Li Yu and his crew had returned to the base of the mountain, annoyed at the thought of their recent hasty escape.

Damn near got noticed by them.

Do they fight or not, what the hell.

Li Yu calmed everyone down, urging them to keep their cool.

Looking at a nearby doorplate and the car that Black Snake and his crew had driven, Li Yu said to Third Uncle: ”The guys who were guarding the cars over there, have they all been taken care of, Third Uncle?”

Third Uncle nodded and said, ”It’s taken care of, the bodies have been moved.”

Li Yu looked warily at the mountain and said: ”Was hoping they’d start fighting each other quickly so we could reap the benefits, but if Black Snake and his men come down from the mountainside, we likely won’t stay hidden.”

He made up his mind and then said to his brothers behind him: ”If they come down, seize the opportunity, don’t wait, just take them out.”

Everyone agreed, ready to follow the order.

Xiao Liu, sent by Captain Luo, followed Black Snake and his men for a while and realized they hadn’t left.

A sinking feeling in his heart, he turned and left.

Returning to Captain Luo’s side, he spoke in a low voice: ”Captain, they haven’t left, they’re waiting for us at the foot of the mountain.

I think we can’t just sit around and wait, they must be planning to snatch our gold as soon as we move the supplies.”

Captain Luo secretly thought that’s exactly what was happening.

Damn it, I hate these mangy dogs.

You can’t scold them off, you can’t beat them away, they keep sticking around shamelessly.

Even at this point, if we went to ask them, they would probably make up excuses or find a spot to drag it out from afar.

So he turned to Xiao Liu and said: ”Take Xiao He and go through the back mountain, find a way back to headquarters, and call for backup.”

Xiao Liu hesitated and said: ”But headquarters is too far from here, this...”

Captain Luo snapped: ”Just a few hundred kilometers. You call that far!”

Xiao Liu looked up at Captain Luo and said: ”Alright, mission assured. Xiao He Six, follow me.”

After a few steps, he came back, handing over the spare magazine, apart from the one already in his gun, to Captain Luo.

Captain Luo pushed it back.

”Don’t give it to me, you’ll need it to protect yourselves on the road, stay safe, and remember to be fast. Be quick!” urged Captain Luo.
