Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

The mountain wind was piercing, and the bamboo leaves swayed. The fallen leaves in the forest were lifted high by the wind, flying higher and higher.

Li Yu watched the decayed leaves in front of him, his face expressionless, his heart still not at peace.

Time trickled by.

It was half-past three in the morning, and the sky had not yet started to rain.

Li Yu took a cigarette out of his pocket, wanting to smoke, but his throat felt itchy and uncomfortable, so he resisted.

Yet the wind grew stronger, blowing away the night’s heaviness.

An hour and a half passed, and Li Yu stood on the wall, barely moving.

It was five in the morning.

That night, Li Gang and the others, unaware of any abnormalities, continued their vigilant duty.

Second Uncle wasn’t on duty tonight and slept peacefully in the residential area.

The few guard dogs in the villa area lay listlessly on the ground.

The large turtle that Li Yu originally brought back slowly extended its claws, pushing its shell, crawling toward the southwest corner of the villa.

Whoosh——

A gust of violent wind blew through.

In the Bamboo Forest of the Inner City, the straight bamboo stalks swayed, and the leaves rustled down.

The windows and doors in the residential area creaked as the wind blew, making a harsh sound.

An atmosphere of weightiness and silence pervaded the mountains and forest. The morning light, which should have appeared pale, was concealed by heavy dark clouds, and the rolling thunder echoed over the vast land, like the toll of doomsday.

The decaying forest, with sparse trees, had some still standing while others had fallen and rotted on the ground, exuding a sense of desolation.

The sky was obscured by dark clouds, leaving only dull gray light to fall between the branches. The rustling of leaves seemed to foretell the impending disaster.

Suddenly, the sky grew even darker, with dark clouds rolling and converging toward the center of the forest.

The wind gradually intensified, howling and causing the trees to sway, as if resisting an inevitable fate.

The branches rubbed together, producing a hoarse sound, as if nature was sounding a warning.

The iron sheets outside the food factory in the Inner City rumbled in the wind.

A strong sense of humidity permeated the air.

The ground grew cold and oppressive, suffocating to the point of making it hard to breathe.

Gradually, a few solitary raindrops began to fall, seemingly trying to disperse the suffocating air, heralding the arrival of a massive downpour.

The raindrops struck the tree branches, making a faint, crisp sound, which was particularly piercing in the silent forest.

However, as time passed, the raindrops grew denser, and their sound became increasingly heavy.

In an instant, the sky seemed to break apart. Lightning tore through the darkness, illuminating the entire forest.

Rumble——

The thunder roared deafeningly.

Lightning momentarily illuminated everything, injecting an astonishing vitality into the earth.

Subsequently, the rumbling thunder resounded throughout the forest, deafeningly loud.

Each thunderclap carried immense power, as if declaring the arrival of doomsday. The forest trembled, seemingly unable to withstand this force of nature.

In the Inner City, Second Uncle, awakened by the thunder, got up abruptly in his sleep, causing a throbbing pain in the back of his head.

He quickly opened the curtains and rushed to the window to open them.

Rumble——

The thunder arrived first, deafening and shocking.

Another bolt of lightning illuminated the entire base.

The pain in the back of his head throbbed intermittently; he thought he was dreaming from the suddenness of it all.

But at this moment, the lightning and thunder made him realize that everything before him was real.

”A heavy downpour is coming! I must quickly check the wall,” Second Uncle muttered.

A voice from the bed, Second Aunt’s, said, ”Old Li, is it raining? The thunder is so loud.”

”Hmm, it’s going to rain. You continue sleeping, I’ll go check the wall,” Second Uncle said as he walked to the door to put on clothes.

”Ah...the weather is so unpredictable every day, be careful. I’ll also get up to check the doors and windows,” Second Aunt said with concern.

Second Uncle moved quickly, taking only a few minutes to get dressed. Then he grabbed a flashlight and headed for the wall.

Inside the base, in both Inner and Outer City, almost everyone was awakened by the lightning and thunder.

The thunder was so loud it felt like it was pounding right in your ears.

Bai Jie was also startled awake by the thunder. She had been having a beautiful dream, dreaming of herself and.......

But in the next second, the massive sound forcibly jolted her awake.

She lay on the bed assigned to her, her eyes filled with extreme fear.

In that moment, her heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife, causing unbearable discomfort.

Soon after.

Her heart contracted sharply, pounding non-stop, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, as if she hadn’t yet returned to her senses.

Her mind was blank, as if her soul had been drained.

Inhale~

Exhale——

It took a full half-minute before she recovered from the shocking thunderclap.

She had always been somewhat afraid of thunder, and in such a peaceful night, especially when sleeping soundly at five o’clock, the sudden violent thunder terrified her!

Besides her, many others were also awakened by the grand sound of thunder.

Almost everyone in the base woke up.

Third Uncle and Uncle, Li Tie, and others hurriedly got up, donned their clothes, and rushed to the wall.

........

The rain fell harder and harder.

The pattering rain fell upon the earth.

A massive downpour followed, with the skies madly pouring down lead-gray water columns. The raindrops were dense as a waterfall, fiercely striking the ground, sending up a torrent of spray.
