Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 911: Chapter 641: The Feeling of Hunger

The weather was freezing, cigarettes and alcohol as sharp as a gun.

Li Yu stomped his feet, trying to shake off the numbness.

The air was so cold that every puff of smoke he exhaled looked like vapor waves, clearly visible under the light.

For a moment, he felt dazed, as if recalling events from a past life. A scene flashed through his mind: his father smoking, his mother urging him to care for his health, while his younger self solemnly promised never to smoke when he grew up.

Sigh——

Li Yu frowned slightly, feeling an inexplicable emotion.

Before Doomsday, tattoos, smoking, drinking, and perming hair often came with a negative label.

After Doomsday, many people broke free from various cages of constraint, no longer defining right or wrong based on others, only asking themselves if they wanted to do it.

No one would ever care about you....

Everyone needed a self, a core. If the core was too weak, it might manifest as aggression, or extreme insecurity. Weak cores were easily influenced by others and easily became numb.

His core was as strong as Taishan, unshakable.

He was prepared to bear any consequences for his choices.

Li Yu was somewhat neurotic, but he confronted his inner self, without being overly cautious or hesitant, without being held back by constraints, and if you provoked him or threatened him, he would shoot you, regardless of who you were.

...

Xiao Jun stood beside Li Yu and greeted him, ”Director Li.”

”Hmm, any situation on patrol?” Li Yu asked.

Xiao Jun shook his head, saying, ”None, all is normal. It’s quite desolate here, just at dusk, we spotted a dozen zombies, but haven’t seen any more since.”

Li Yu dropped the cigarette butt to the ground and extinguished it with his foot.

........

The night sky was silent.

In the distance, a strong wind rustled the branches and wall panels.

All was quiet.

Looking at the pitch-black night, he suddenly turned to Xiao Jun, ”Old Xiao.”

Xiao Jun, hearing his name, quickly responded, ”Director Li, you called me.”

Li Yu slowly turned his head and said, ”You need to be braver.”

”Huh? Uh?” Xiao Jun was a little confused.

Li Yu glanced at him and said nothing more. Xiao Jun had always been very caring toward his teammates, often appearing somewhat restrained.

Since he had arrived at the Big Camphor Tree Base earlier, both Second Uncle and Li Yu were more familiar with Xiao Jun compared to Ju Tianrui.

Some tasks, Li Yu delegated to Xiao Jun.

Moreover, Xiao Jun liked a member of the Extra Staff, which was obvious to many, yet Xiao Jun still played dumb.

Li Qi from Group 7.

....

Two minutes later, Xiao Jun finally reacted.

Slightly shy, he scratched his head and said to Li Yu, ”Thank you, Director Li.”

”Don’t be afraid.” Li Yu smiled at Xiao Jun, his voice full of strength.

Although Xiao Jun was much older than Li Yu, at this moment, it felt as if Li Yu were the elder.

In reality, the aura Li Yu exuded was far older than his actual age.

Counting the five years before his rebirth, Li Yu had already lived thirty years.

The night wind whistled, leaves rustled.

Li Yu picked up the thermos, pouring a cup of water.

Sighing, he blew on the hot water just poured from the Unimog’s heater to cool it down a bit.

Standing in the duty room, staring at the direction of the gate, slightly lost in thought.

.....

In this bitter cold, if one didn’t have to endure the frostbite of an outdoor mission.

Staying in the base, with a few friends.

Watching the heavy snow fall outside the glass, simmering a hot pot inside, warming some rice wine.

With the snowstorm outside as a backdrop, the roars of zombies as music, within the safe walls, eating large chunks of meat, drinking great gulps of wine, wouldn’t it be delightful.

Li Yu shook his head, rubbing his face with both hands, feeling more clear-headed.

Let’s deal with the greenhouse matters first before anything else.

....

Their location was on the edge of an industrial park.

This industrial park was more isolated, even more so than the Big Camphor Tree Base, at least the base was near a national highway.

This industrial park, with many polluting enterprises, was built in a godforsaken place.

After being built, due to frequent discharges of chemical wastewater, the ecological environment here was severely damaged, and some residents nearby could not bear it any longer. Unable to win against big companies, they had to take some money and leave.

As a result, fewer people remained here.

After half an hour on duty, Li Yu switched positions with the patrol post, flashlight in one hand and a spear in the other, starting his patrol.

........

In the western suburbs of Yishi.

After the zombie charge, within the first ten minutes, five or six people were bitten or dragged outside the car wall by zombies, dismembered.

But when Zhou Zhisheng began using firearms, he slightly stabilized the situation, though the bullets they had were truly limited and wouldn’t last long.

They eventually reverted to cold weapons.

Twenty minutes later, a car on the eastern side was completely smashed open, creating a gap over three meters wide.

Instantly, zombies outside poured in like a tide.

Liu Cunyi watched helplessly as a young man from his family was devoured by the swarm of zombies.

Panic, and the heart-wrenching screams, never ceased.

For a moment, he was at a loss, unsure of what to do.

Seeing more zombies rushing in, he raised his gun, firing two shots in that direction, then called everyone inside the household to come out and assist.
