Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Li Yu walked from the wall into the duty room and saw Li Hang eating something while Lao Yi was half-asleep at the table.

None of them had gone down to rest, essentially staying here for 24 hours straight.

Li Yu hung his raincoat on the rack, with rainwater dripping down.

He then took a towel from the rack, wiped his hair, and sat down on a stool.

His shoes and socks were completely soaked. These days, he only hung his wet clothes by the radiator when he took a nap, and by the time he woke up, they were just dry enough to wear.

The radiator in the duty room was always on, maintaining a temperature of 25 degrees.

Li Yu slumped in his seat and took out a pack of cigarettes from the wall.

As he reached out, he noticed his fingers had turned white from being soaked in the rain, and a layer of wrinkles had formed.

He didn’t mind and slowly lit a cigarette.

Sss—

He let the smoke fill his chest, and exhaled it slowly.

White smoke billowed from his mouth.

The exhaustion in his body seemed to relax all at once.

Step, step, step—

Footsteps came from outside the door.

Yutong pushed the door open, wheeling in a cart loaded with food.

Li Yu looked up and saw her, immediately stood up to help bring the cart in.

”I’m starving, finally you’re here. The person I most want to see every day is you now,” Li Yu said, looking at Yutong.

Yutong took off the raincoat draped on her and, upon hearing Li Yu’s words, rolled her eyes and asked, ”You only want to see me because it’s mealtime?”

Li Yu shook his head and said, ”Of course not.”

But his hands kept moving as he opened the lid of the steel container on the cart and inhaled the aroma.

”Smells so good!”

It was vegetable and meat noodles.

Li Yu took his bowl from the wall shelf and called out to the still sleeping Lao Yi, ”Lao Yi, time to eat!”

Lao Yi, drooling in his sleep as if dreaming of something delightful, didn’t respond, so Li Yu gave the leg of his chair a kick.

Lao Yi woke at once.

The next second, he caught a whiff of the food’s aroma.

Instantly, he lit up with joy and rushed to grab his bowl from the cabinet.

Li Yu shook his head at the scene, noticing Li Hang already using his spoon to ladle noodles.

Feeling hungry himself, he wasted no time and took a bowl of noodles after Li Hang finished serving himself.

In less than five minutes, Li Yu finished his bowl of noodles.

Glancing at the others on the wall outside, Li Yu drank a cup of water, stood up, donned his raincoat, and prepared to head back out.

Yutong, feeling a bit concerned, saw he was about to leave again and said, ”You just ate, rest a little before going out.”

”No worries. The guys need to get inside for food,” Li Yu replied and walked out.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Xiao Ding and Xiao Liu, who used to follow Luo.

Seeing the two holding crossbows and shooting into the nearby woods, Li Yu shouted, ”Hey, you two, go inside and grab some food!”

Xiao Ding and Xiao Liu turned their heads, excitement showing on their faces. They wanted to go but remembered there was no one to relieve them at their position.

They said, ”But it’s not our break time yet. If we leave, who’s gonna handle this spot?”

Li Yu waved a hand and said, ”Go on, I’ll cover for you.”

They nodded happily and said, ”Thanks, Director Li.”

Then they put down their crossbows and headed into the duty room.

Li Yu walked over, touched the slightly warm crossbow, and looked toward the direction illuminated by the searchlight. The pile of zombies, reaching more than ten meters high, had already buried several trees.

Among the zombies, some were alive, and others were dead from crossbow shots.

Arrows were stuck everywhere in the pile, making it resemble a heap of straw.

”Zombies,” Li Yu muttered, rubbing rain out of his eyes with some irritation.

The zombies seemed endless, never succombing completely.

Li Yu raised his crossbow, nocked an arrow, aimed at a zombie’s head, and focused.

Whoosh—

The arrow streaked through the air, flying at the zombie’s head.

Thwack—

The arrow pierced straight through the zombie’s skull.

”First one,” Li Yu started counting.

He nocked another arrow and aimed.

Once again, he hit another zombie with precision.

”Second one!”

......

Li Yu stood there, unmoving.

The box overflowing with arrows earlier now held less than a few dozen.

”Hundred eighty-sixth!”

Li Yu counted aloud, feeling his arm grow slightly sore.

Xiao Liu and Xiao Ding came back over.

They had only eaten for less than five minutes and returned to see that the box had been mostly emptied of arrows.

Hearing Li Yu mutter ”one hundred eighty-sixth,” they exchanged shocked glances.

Their normal speed was twelve arrows a minute at most.

They’d only been gone less than five minutes.

This was freaking unbelievable.

Li Yu picked up an arrow just as they arrived.

He nocked the arrow and shot into the distance once more.

Whoosh—

Thwack—

He pierced another moving zombie’s head with startling precision.

Witnessing this, their previous doubt vanished instantly.

They recalled the rumors they heard somewhere that Director Li’s combat power was insanely strong.
