Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Seeing zombies isn’t scary, and seeing zombies eat people doesn’t feel scary either.

What’s scary is seeing a brother you’ve lived with day and night being eaten alive by zombies.

Lao Fei felt his chest clogged with pain.

Enduring the agony, he gathered Jimu’s dismembered body and buried it under a nearby tree.

He knew that staying here was a waste of time; lingering any longer meant more danger, with zombies potentially approaching at any moment.

However, some things cannot be measured by gain or loss.

He had to do this, not wanting his brother to be entirely devoured by zombies even after death.

”Damn!!!! Your mother!!! Damn heavens!”

Lao Fei roared up at the sky.

He had never hated so much before, but who should he hate?

If it weren’t for the snow, Jimu wouldn’t have only discovered the zombies when they were close.

If the Doomsday hadn’t erupted, would his parents have died?

Resentment filled the sky.

After the roar.

A hand suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

It was Yu Lei.

After Yu Lei came down from the car, the battle here was almost over.

So he went over to move the fallen street trees aside to the road’s edges.

”Lao Fei, my condolences, let’s go now; we shouldn’t linger here,” Yu Lei sighed heavily, feeling troubled.

Lao Fei felt his chest aching and clogged.

So blocked that he could barely breathe.

His hand tightened around the spear, veins bulging.

”Let’s go!” Lao Fei glanced at the direction where Jimu’s body was buried.

Finally spoke.

The group drove off, heading swiftly toward the Big Camphor Tree Base.

...

Second Uncle heard the voices of extra staff Lao Fei and Yu Lei coming through the walkie-talkie.

Couldn’t help but say, ”Why are you only coming now? Other extra staff are already here.”

”We went out to transport the boiler; last time, Director Li mentioned the base needed one.”

Second Uncle heard this and felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart.

They too were actively thinking about the base’s future, braving such a big snowstorm.

So he softly said, ”Be careful when you come in; there are some zombies under the wall now. Don’t get out of the car. When you arrive, just rush in.”

”Okay, thank you,” Yu Lei gratefully replied to Second Uncle’s reminder.

...

Second Uncle received news from Yu Lei using a walkie-talkie, quickly informed Li Yu through the walkie-talkie.

Upon hearing, Li Yu hurriedly came from the Inner City.

Nothing else matters; such dedication should not go unappreciated.

On the wall, Second Uncle watched the zombies below.

So he spoke to a few people in the duty room: ”Let’s clear the zombies below first before Yu Lei and the others come in.”

Dapao heard and nodded, saying, ”Alright, actually, we don’t have to kill them all; we just need to take out a portion. The remaining zombies will start feeding on each other, so even if the gate is opened, they likely won’t rush in.”

That’s exactly the case.

Dapao, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and others took compound crossbows and shot at the zombies.

After killing a dozen zombies, the remaining hundreds immediately swarmed over.

Two minutes later.

A few vehicles appeared at the entrance dozens of meters away.

Amid the roar.

Second Uncle had Dapao open the gate.

The hydraulic gate slowly rose.

Seeing the gate opening, Yu Lei instructed the driver to rush straight in.

Those zombies, engrossed in devouring their kind, didn’t look up, continuing to feast.

Rumble——

Even as the loud vehicle noise passed close by, the zombies paid no attention.

But, at that moment.

The zombies that had devoured one of their kind finished, lifted their heads, and noticed Yu Lei and the others, ready to charge.

Whiz, whiz, whiz, whiz——

Four arrows instantaneously pierced through the heads of four zombies.

The other zombies, seeing this, immediately ceased their chase.

Instead turned to devour their comrades’ corpses.

A false alarm.

Quickly, Yu Lei and the others safely entered Weng City within the Big Camphor Tree Base.

Meanwhile, Li Yu also arrived on the wall and saw Yu Lei and Lao Fei enter.

Li Yu looked at the boiler disassembled into several trucks, chest slightly warm.

He hadn’t expected a casually spoken word would be taken to heart by them, and they’d even traveled to another province to transport it back.

Such actions surely touch the heart.

No need for words; facing extreme cold and blizzards is enough to make many falter.

Li Yu was deeply moved.

He then led Dapao and others towards the wall.

Just as they reached below, Yu Lei, limping, said to Li Yu, ”Director Li, we’ve brought the boiler for you.”

Li Yu looked at his limp leg, an indescribable feeling stirring in his heart.

After a long while, he patted Yu Lei’s shoulder.

And said, ”Did you encounter any danger during this trip out?”

Yu Lei, hearing this, lowered his head, glanced at the still grieving Lao Fei beside him, turned to Li Yu, and said:

”Nothing happened on the way there. Just when returning, a snowstorm hit, and at 5 kilometers from the base, a street tree fell across the road. Lao Fei’s team member, Jimu, was bitten to death by zombies.”

The atmosphere instantly became silent.

Li Yu raised his head, looking at Lao Fei, who was silent with his head down, knowing he should say something.

After a few seconds of silence, he said to Lao Fei and Yu Lei, ”I know you are grieving, and I am grieving too.”

”I greatly appreciate you braving the snowstorm to bring the boiler back. Thank you!”
