Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Li Yu’s words earned the admiration of everyone present.

Originally, many among them didn’t quite understand why Li Yu valued Old Dong and Zhang San so much, or why he directly allowed them to join the Outer City.

Only now did they realize how thorough Li Yu’s considerations were.

Second Uncle was silent for a moment, then furrowed his brows with a bit of concern and said, ”The Zombie Generator in the base can continuously produce electricity. It would surely be great to have many electric cars, but electric cars still tend to have problems in extremely cold weather. Personally, I believe we should have electric cars, but we can’t entirely eliminate fuel-powered vehicles either.....”

Li Yu smiled faintly after hearing Second Uncle’s words.

A pillow was delivered when he needed to rest.

So he said, ”Yes, the issue raised by Second Uncle is also important. We need to have electric cars and fuel-powered vehicles, and considering oil as the mother of chemical raw materials, we must have it. This leads to the second matter.”

”Recently, everyone should be somewhat aware that whether it was the group led by Zhong Chuchu fleeing from the North to Nanyang some time ago or Liu Wei’s group just arriving a couple of days ago, they all came from Nanyang.

According to what they said, their reason for fleeing from the North to this side is related to a certain power.

”The Motorcycle Gang?” Second Uncle asked.

Li Yu nodded and said, ”Yes, it’s that Motorcycle Gang. They’ve been developing rapidly and have occupied Zhong Chuchu’s Oil City.

Given the current situation, if we let that Motorcycle Gang continue to develop unchecked, they will surely become a threat to our existence, especially with so many people fleeing to this side.

It will definitely attract their attention and inevitably affect our development in the future.

That’s one aspect.

On the other hand, the Motorcycle Gang has been so rampant, occupying the Oil City, in order to solve the base’s current oil shortage problem, based on our own needs.

I think instead of waiting passively for the Motorcycle Gang to find us, we should take the initiative to strike.”

Third Uncle, listening to Li Yu speak, unknowingly sat up.

Last time, Li Yu had already mentioned the Motorcycle Gang to him.

At the time, he thought the distance was so great that there shouldn’t be any conflict.

He had wondered before why Li Yu suddenly mentioned the Motorcycle Gang to him, and now he understood.

Li Yu had set his sights on the Motorcycle Gang!

Third Uncle pondered for two seconds and said, ”So, you mean we should head north, eliminate the Motorcycle Gang, and seize the Oil City for ourselves?”

Li Yu nodded and replied, ”Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.”

”As I just mentioned, whether based on the base’s defense or its energy needs, we have a reason to send out forces.

Moreover, the Motorcycle Gang commits all sorts of evil, having killed so many innocent survivors. Us dealing with them is an act of justice.”

When Li Yu said the word ”justice,” everyone below lowered their heads in unison.

It always felt a bit strange to hear the word justice coming from Li Yu’s mouth.

The conference room fell silent for a moment, somewhat awkwardly.

Second Uncle coughed twice to break the awkwardness and said to Li Yu, ”I think it’s not impossible, let’s see what everyone else thinks?”

Li Yu looked around, scanning everyone.

He softly said, ”Those who agree to send forces to Nanyang to deal with the Motorcycle Gang, raise your hands!”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, He Chao, Bai Jie, Ding Jiu, Yang Tianlong, Li Hang, Li Tie, and others raised their hands.

He Chao is always like this; every time Li Yu makes a suggestion, he supports it unconditionally.

Third Uncle hesitated for a few seconds, then raised his hand as well.

Second Uncle, Father Li, Second Uncle, and Fourth Uncle also raised their hands.

Only Li Yuan was left without her hand raised, seeing everyone looking at her.

She hurriedly raised her hand, as she had been daydreaming and hadn’t been paying attention for a moment.

”Good, it’s unanimously passed. Since that’s the case, let’s talk about when to set off.” Li Yu saw everyone agreed and breathed a sigh of relief.

This matter could finally begin.

In truth, given his current position, he didn’t need any reason to decide on this matter and lead people out to eliminate the Motorcycle Gang.

But now, with more people, doing some things with a layer of justification in front of it is still somewhat necessary.

At least it appears justified and seems like an act of justice.

Second Uncle said, ”Why not wait for your Uncle to come back before we go? They took so many people with them; to deal with the Motorcycle Gang, we definitely need a lot of manpower too.

If both sides act simultaneously, the base will be quite vulnerable.

Moreover, the journey is not short, and we need to prepare. Just as well, during this time, we can prepare a bit.”

Third Uncle nodded at these words and said, ”I agree; it’s important to be well-prepared before setting off.”

Seeing that two of the Big Camphor Tree Base’s heavyweight figures had said so, others also echoed the sentiment.

Second Uncle and Third Uncle’s suggestion coincidentally aligned with Li Yu’s plan.

So he followed along and said, ”Okay, let’s wait for Uncle to return before we proceed.”

”However, there is one thing that can’t wait: the collection of raw materials for battery production now needs to be intensified.

As I just mentioned, apart from the collection of raw materials for the Third Outer City’s construction, all other tasks will be paused, focusing all efforts on gathering battery materials.

Second Uncle, He Chao, this needs you to talk to the Cooperative Personnel and Extra Staff after the meeting.”

Second Uncle nodded slightly, and He Chao said, ”Okay, Director Li, I will talk to them after the meeting.”

Li Yu glanced at everyone and said, ”Alright, does anyone have anything else to discuss?”

No one spoke.

So Li Yu started calling out names.

”An Ya, how are the preparations at the Third Outer City plantation? Any problems?”

”No issues for now, some of the already built sheds have been fertilized and planted, and the crops are starting to seed.”

”Ding Jiu, is there any problem with the progress of the Residential Building and the greenhouse?”

Ding Jiu shook his head and said, ”No, actually, a majority of the building materials for the Residential Building have already been collected, and the construction schedule is on track. The greenhouse is estimated to be completed in about a week.”

....

Li Yu asked everyone, and there were basically no issues.

So he nodded and said to Li Tie, ”Tiezi, you and Tianlong come up with a battle plan and show it to us when it’s ready.”

It was evident that Li Yu was giving Li Tie and the others a chance.

Generally speaking, the team leader is the one who drafts the battle plan.

Currently, at the Big Camphor Tree Base, the core group in power revolves around Li Yu.

Besides Li Yu, the ones holding significant power are the Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Uncle, from the second generation.

In the third generation, there’s only Li Yu, so Li Yu intends to nurture Li Tie and the others, so that when Third Uncle and the others get older, naturally, Li Tie and the others will take over.

Upon hearing Li Yu’s words, Li Tie quickly nodded and said, ”Alright, no problem.”

Third Uncle squinted his eyes slightly; he naturally understood the purpose behind Li Yu’s actions.

He nodded slightly, completely satisfied with his nephew Li Yu.

In contrast, his own son was somewhat inferior.

He never had a strong desire for his son to be exceptional; starting from when they were young, except for being slightly strict in certain areas, he had always let his two sons grow up freely.

However, if the two sons could reach a significant level, he would also be quite pleased as a father.

.......

After explaining various matters, Li Yu glanced at his watch.

This meeting today was quite efficient, wrapping everything up in just an hour.

Sometimes, the larger the organization, the more sub-groups there are, with each sub-group having its own ideas, leading to endless wrangling and balancing when deciding how to handle something.

At its core, it’s just a game of negotiation, figuring out how to give each party a satisfactory piece of the pie.

This often results in a prolonged decision-making cycle, unknowingly missing the optimal strategic timing.

But this issue doesn’t exist at the Big Camphor Tree Base.

Through one correct decision after another, Li Yu has led the base from nothing to existence, from existence to strength, essentially shaping it into a fortress.

His authority at the Big Camphor Tree Base is beyond question.

Not even Third Uncle or Second Uncle can compare.

In truth, a large part of this is because many people have been saved by Li Yu.

Be it Song Min, or Ding Jiu, Old Lv, Bai Jie, He Chao, or Dapao, there’s no need to mention, these people are all loyal followers of Li Yu.

Coupled with the familial relationships with Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Uncle, Li Yu’s position at the Big Camphor Tree Base is as steady as Taishan, unshakeable by anyone.

”Alright, today’s meeting ends here, dismissed.” Li Yu stood up and said to everyone.

After speaking, he walked out of the meeting room.

Returning to the rooftop of the villa.

He sat on the wicker chair by the edge of the platform and lit a cigarette.

Looking at the distant Mountain Pond, he took a deep drag of the cigarette.

His hand suddenly trembled twice involuntarily.

The ash drifted slowly to the ground.

”Guan Zhongjin.” A hint of cold light flashed in Li Yu’s eyes.

The air seemed to drop a few degrees.

In fact, when it comes to attacking the Motorcycle Gang, the biggest reason for him, he hasn’t told anyone.

He wants revenge, revenge for the grudges of the past life.

This life’s Guan Zhongjin probably doesn’t even know him.

But it doesn’t matter, the people Li Yu wants to kill, so far, none have survived.

As he was smoking, he saw Second Uncle and others coming out of the meeting room.

He Chao looked up and, upon seeing Li Yu, quickly waved to greet him.

Li Yu slightly raised his hand and waved back, acknowledging.

His face seemed calm, but inside, he was in turmoil.

He recalled the events of his past life.

Remembered when they joined a group together and became acquaintances.

Facing countless Zombie Tides hand in hand.

He once thought they were life-and-death brothers.

Even a small piece of biscuit was shared between them.

He once believed that Guan Zhongjin was the person he could trust the most.

The one person he could trust unconditionally, one hundred percent.

He once thought that no matter what difficulties they faced, they could overcome them together.

But now, looking back, it all seemed like a joke.

Looking back now, he saw it all clearly.

In the past, he was always the one taking risks, while Guan Zhongjin would stay behind watching.

Whenever danger arose, Guan Zhongjin could retreat at any time.

Guan Zhongjin had high emotional intelligence, knew how to speak, always talking about brotherhood, saying many touching words.

But now it sounds like bullshit!

That time they encountered a Zombie Tide, the two of them fled.

Guan Zhongjin went up the building first, while he stayed at the rear.

But unexpectedly, Guan Zhongjin actually pushed him into the Zombie Tide.

Maybe to delay the zombies for a few seconds, or maybe to take two shares of food for himself.

But at that moment, Li Yu finally woke up.

Reflecting on it all, Li Yu’s eyes gradually reddened, looking as if he wanted to kill someone.

”Hoo——”

Li Yu blew out the last puff of smoke and didn’t drop the cigarette butt from his hand.

Using his index finger and thumb to rub the still glowing cigarette butt, the faint pain from the heat didn’t elicit any expression from Li Yu.

In the rubbing, the cigarette butt was extinguished.

Li Yu stood up from the wicker chair and walked downstairs.

He needed to spend some time in the Meditation Room.

His current emotions were complicated, excited, elated, tinged with joy, yet also angry.....

He knew these feelings were wrong, as a leader of a base, he should maintain calmness.

Still as an unruffled well.

Impulsiveness easily leads to mistakes, while calmness allows for making the most accurate decisions.
