Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Captain Luo was greatly shocked when he heard this; he remembered not mentioning this matter just before, how could this Brother Li know about it?

Could it be that he had spoken in his sleep?

Following that, he seemed to realize something; this Brother Li shouldn’t have brought up Grandfather Ye’s granddaughter without a reason, especially since Grandfather Ye’s granddaughter had been in Gan City.

So when they came over to look for the food storage, Grandfather Ye had asked them to look for Ye Shishi.

This Brother Li was a local, and it was very likely that he had encountered Grandfather Ye’s granddaughter; otherwise, why would he suddenly bring it up!

Thinking this, Captain Luo threw away the cigarette in his hand and hurriedly asked, ”Brother Li, do you know Ye Shishi’s whereabouts?”

His eyes filled with hope, and the other two teammates sitting next to him also brightened up at hearing this; it would be great if she was really found.

Li Yu described Ye Shishi’s appearance and physique uncertainly.

After hearing this, Captain Luo quickly nodded emphatically, saying, ”Yes, yes, yes, what you just described is Grandfather Ye’s granddaughter, Ye Shishi! Where is she now? Can you take me to see her?”

He looked eager, showing a deep concern for Ye Shishi.

Li Yu thought for a second and said, ”Don’t worry, she is safe; she is currently inside our base.”

Captain Luo was immediately reassured and thought before saying, ”Can I meet her?”

Li Yu directly said, ”Yes, but not now.”

After saying this, he looked towards the entrance of the cave, where the old Lü who had been fighting zombies had retreated, replaced by Li Gang’s group.

The corpses of the zombies had already piled up into small hills, but there were just too many zombies outside continuously streaming in.

It was fortunate that the entrance was quite far from the several food storage warehouses behind, otherwise it would have been very troublesome.

Captain Luo, upon hearing Li Yu’s agreement, immediately looked at him with a grateful expression.

But seeing Li Yu turn to look at the zombies, he realized the situation they were in; it was in the middle of the night now, and the rest would have to wait.

Everything would have to wait until they were safe.

Speaking of which, Li Yu had cleverly thought to enter this cave earlier that evening when the zombies arrived; it was a very smart move.

Watching over forty people, clearly divided in their duties, killing the zombies without sustaining any injuries, made him think of the thirty brothers he had led, who were all gone now.

Now only the three of them were left, and thinking of this, Captain Luo felt very upset.

Knowing the whereabouts of Grandfather Ye’s daughter and that she was safe and sound was a pleasant surprise for Captain Luo.

But he did not forget the main purpose of his visit here, which was to find the food storage; this was the most crucial matter.

The people at the base were all waiting for this food.

But now, given the circumstances, he didn’t quite know how to broach the subject.

Captain Luo thought for a while, then braced himself and said to Li Yu, ”About the food, Brother Li, we really...”

Captain Luo had not yet finished speaking when Li Yu immediately interrupted him, saying, ”Regarding the food, let’s do this, we split half each. Although our population sizes are similar, we have many more mouths to feed around Xin City. Let’s not talk about this anymore. Alright?”

When Li Yu finished speaking, Captain Luo was immediately delighted.

This was exactly the outcome he had hoped to achieve, originally thinking it would take much persuasion to arrive at this.

Unexpectedly, Li Yu had brought it up directly.

After all, although they had found the food storage, the three of them had been rescued by Li Yu.

And with the current awkward situation, and considering their strong forces, he really had no say in the matter.

This result was more than satisfactory.

Thus, Captain Luo said, ”That’s great, then it’s settled. Thank you, Brother Li.”

Li Yu waved his hand to indicate it was nothing, then said, ”Alright, you should rest early; you seem to have quite severe injuries.

Tomorrow, when we get out of here, I will take you to find Ye Shishi.”

Captain Luo nodded his head and agreed, watching as Li Yu walked away from him.

Watching Li Yu’s retreating figure, Captain Luo felt a flood of emotions. This afternoon, when he saw the Black Snake and his gang, he thought that if this mission was not completed, it would be fine; he feared none of them would be able to return.

Unexpectedly, the appearance of Brother Li and his group had saved them.

Not only had they saved them, but they had also managed to share half of the food with them.

Generous.

On the other hand, he had already been in despair, ready to give up on the mission of finding Grandfather Ye’s granddaughter, but unexpectedly, Ye Shishi actually turned out to be in Brother Li’s base.

After so much search without success, the solution came effortlessly.

It truly was wonderful; Captain Luo was filled with emotions.

His favorable impression of Brother Li had reached a peak.

Meanwhile, Li Yu also had his considerations.

Throughout, he had encountered enemies whom he then dealt with; not that he was innately cruel, but these people had provoked him, and once they became enemies, as per Li Yu’s nature, they definitely had to be dealt with thoroughly without leaving any future trouble.

He had also thought about allying with one or two friendly bases and forming alliances for mutual support, which would be nice.

Unfortunately, there had never been an opportunity; the one from Yugu Platform deserved chopping, the one from Jiefang City had an apocalyptic operation that he disapproved of, being too fanciful and naïve.

In the end, Jiefang City, just as he had predicted, fell apart.

Harmony Garden and Safe City both wanted to trouble him, so he simply toppled both of them.

Suddenly, Li Yu thought of another unresolved matter, the prison in the northern suburbs of the provincial capital.

According to Brother Wang from back then, aside from Black Snake, there were two other accomplices likely in the prison; the people led by Black Snake definitely weren’t all from the prison.

It seemed that he had to find time to take care of this lingering threat.

When I was secretly observing just now, I saw Captain Luo and his team, their manner of handling things is completely different from that of the people from Safe City.

Especially when I heard that Grandfather Ye’s granddaughter is Ye Shishi, Li Yu started thinking about forming an alliance.

With the favor of rescuing Grandfather Ye’s granddaughter, plus rescuing Captain Luo and his few people, and even dividing the food equally, how can I say, all sincerity is in place.

As for dividing half of the food, depending on the injured Captain Luo and two other members, how could they carry it back.

Even if they all can drive, driving trucks loaded with dozens of tons, they can only transport a few dozen tons back.

The rest would definitely require another trip to fetch.

These mountains are remote and hundreds of kilometers back and forth, zombies are everywhere, and no one can predict what might happen on the road.

Regarding the rest, if they really come back to fetch it, then let it be given.

After all, Li Yu didn’t lose out, during this trip, when Black Snake and Captain Luo were struggling.

Captain Luo not only helped him deal with his enemy: Black Snake, but also found this food storage warehouse.

And all he did was sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, benefiting from their strife.

When the fight ended, he came to end it, unharmed, and got to save people, gaining goodwill, and still managed to take half of the food.

Why not?

Because of these considerations, Li Yu directly had an open and honest conversation with Captain Luo, proposing the idea of splitting the food equally.

...

Outside the cave, the night is charming, and the evening breeze gently blows the leaves.

Rustling sounds.

The moon hangs high.

But on Luo Tianyan, on Rock Mountain, zombies are everywhere.

The growling of the zombies breaks the silence of the night.

Like a tide, zombies crazily surge towards the cave entrance where Li Yu and his group are.

Dense and limitless.

Inside the cave.

Several lamps light up the cave.

The cave’s rocks are also red, smooth, and even.

Under the illumination of the lights, the red color of the stone walls is reflected, making everyone’s faces appear a bit rosy.

Occasional fresh air coming in from the right makes everyone breathe much easier.

Li Yu had just asked Yang Tianlong to check other parts of the cave, and after looking around, they realized that the cave wasn’t entirely sealed.

On the right, there might be a cliff with a small hole, quite small, naturally formed, with a diameter of only about twenty centimeters.

Besides this small hole, there are other smaller holes, but unlike the one just mentioned, that one at least directly faces the outside.

Those smaller holes seem to have many twists and turns, winding paths, but by placing a hand over them, one can still feel the wind blowing up from below.

The air inside the cave is sufficient.

This afternoon, where Captain Luo and his team blasted open the cave, He Chao is leading his group, killing zombies.

Now the inflow of zombies is getting slower, roughly two zombies every two minutes.

So, it’s much easier for them.

Four people per group, two in pairs.

Meanwhile, Li Yu and his group rest farther back, leaning against the metal pillar holding the food supply.

To make everyone sleep more securely and safely.

Aside from the group killing zombies, Li Yu took turns arranging another group.

To stand guard around the sleeping area, this isn’t just to watch out for zombies but also to keep an eye on the tied-up Black Snake and that high-pitched voice man.

Also, to guard against Captain Luo and his team.

After all, they haven’t been in contact with Captain Luo and his team for long, so extra caution is necessary.

Better safe than sorry.

So, amid the growling noises of zombies, everyone closes their eyes, resting.

Switching naturally every half hour, at the mouth of the cave, one lamp shines towards that side, with two more on the other sides, still lighting up.

These two lamps illuminate the top part, brightening the nearby area, but not too glaring.

Inside the cave, the scene presents itself like this:

On one side.

The cave entrance, where the light is brightest, a pile of zombie corpses building higher, with four people around, stabbing the zombies, unceasing growling.

On the other side.

Some distance from the cave entrance, also lit by tube lights, but not as bright, Li Yu and others rest against the food storage, eyes closed, quiet.

One area bright, one area dim.

One area growling, one area tranquil.

This perhaps, is the apocalypse!

In such an atmosphere, it evokes a unique feeling, danger is right beside, but you can rest assured and let others handle it, rest peacefully.
