Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

As veteran soldiers, they have an extremely high level of military discipline, so Li Yu doesn’t need to command them; they can execute their ideas on their own.

Watching the busy crowd, Li Yu looked at this once empty driving school, now filled with various vehicles.

Feeling a bit idle for a moment, he noticed the little Taoist far away wanting to help but being rejected by Luo, unsure of what to do.

Li Yu’s mind stirred, and he said to Dapao, ”Bring that Qingyang Taoist over here.”

Dapao nodded at this, wondering what Brother Yu wanted with the little Taoist.

Qingyang, hearing Li Yu call him, felt puzzled. He thought since it was still early, he might as well greet Li Yu and then go outside the driving school to find something to eat because he couldn’t keep eating others’ food for free.

It’s never good to eat and drink for free.

So, he walked towards Li Yu.

”Mr. Li.” Qingyang clasped his hands and greeted Li Yu.

Li Yu pointed to the nearby stone stool, signaling him to sit down.

Qingyang hesitated for a moment but then sat down without being polite.

Li Yu was actually quite curious about Taoists, wondering what they generally do.

More importantly, he was puzzled about his own rebirth, questioning why he could be reborn but couldn’t speak of it to others.

This matter was too mystical, seemingly something only Taoists could explain.

”Can you tell fortunes?” Li Yu asked.

His gaze softly rested on the Taoist before him.

Qingyang was stunned at this question and shook his head honestly, saying:

”I can’t.”

So straightforward...

Li Yu found it amusing, initially thinking that either the little Taoist would start telling fortunes, speaking in vague terms,

or would assume an air of mystical secrecy.

But instead, Qingyang bluntly said he couldn’t.

”Then what do Taoists usually do?”

Li Yu asked again.

”Um...” Qingyang was silent for a long time, stammering for about a minute.

Then he popped out three words:

”Hard to say.”

”Hahaha, bright and dazzling, hazy and unclear.” Seeing this, Dapao couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

Even Li Tie and the others nearby laughed.

Standing beside Li Yu, even someone seemingly watching the jackals around had a faint smile on his face.

Hearing the laughter, Qingyang’s face turned red again, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

But, he really couldn’t tell fortunes.

He couldn’t lie; if he couldn’t, he couldn’t.

Li Yu, with a smile on his face, glanced at Dapao and Li Tie laughing wildly behind him.

Dapao and Li Tie were nothing like when he first met them.

They used to be so sullen and gloomy, and now they’re like this....

Even Li Tie and Li Gang were a bit skewed...

Li Yu composed himself and said to Qingyang, ”Do you do nothing?”

Qingyang shook his head, earnestly saying, ”Comprehend the Way.”

Feeling like he was being a bit disrespectful with just those four words, as the previous three words had been laughable,

He added, ”Usually, morning classes and evening classes, chanting scriptures and practicing martial arts, conducting rituals and blessings in the Taoist halls. Nothing much else....”

Li Yu nodded, not dwelling further on this topic.

Then he said to Qingyang, ”How do you view the Doomsday outbreak? Do you believe in fate? Or, from a Taoist perspective, is the outbreak of the Doomsday destined in some way?”

Li Yu wanted to subtly steer the conversation towards Qingyang talking about rebirth or reincarnation.

But to his surprise.

Qingyang’s face turned red and stammered, ”Me, um, I wasn’t very good at my studies. I don’t quite understand these things.”

Seeing Dapao about to laugh again.

He quickly said, ”But the core idea of Taoism is following the natural order, governing by doing nothing, coexisting harmoniously with nature. The Doomsday might have occurred due to human greed towards nature, linked to the distortion of humanity’s pursuit of profit.....I guess.”

Li Yu looked at Qingyang, feeling reminiscent of when he couldn’t answer questions in class before the Doomsday, and was guessing answers forcibly.

”So according to what you said, the Doomsday outbreak is because humans were too greedy towards nature.

And nature’s punishment on humans is justified and natural.

Then why did you come down the mountain to save people and all beings?”

Once this was said, even the jackals turned their heads, their eyes sparkling; this question intrigued them as well.

In the Doomsday, moral decline is the norm, killing is the norm.

Cold-bloodedness is the norm, and only ruthlessness allows you to survive.

In such a Doomsday landscape where people use all means to survive for themselves, some people come down the mountain, actively saving others.

It’s like a fantastic story, difficult to believe.

Faced with this question, Qingyang’s eyes showed a trace of confusion.

Only after a long time did he squeeze out the words, ”My senior said to go down the mountain to save people, I thought it made sense and followed his lead.”

Sigh.

Li Yu sighed, even suspecting this might be a fake Taoist.

But judging by his observations, this was real.

Not only real, but Qingyang was truly genuine.

A childlike innocence, a pure heart.

So rare even before the Doomsday, and rarer after.

After a while.

Qingyang hesitantly said, ”I think, good people shouldn’t die. On the way, I also met some bad people; they tricked me, so some people aren’t worth saving.

But I also met good people. There will always be good people, so we have to do something; we save the good ones.”

Li Yu grinned, ”Then what about me? Am I a good person or a bad person?”

”A good person.” Qingyang blurted out.

Li Yu’s smile was radiant.

Not a hint of blush.

In his heart, he mentally added to Qingyang’s earlier sentence: Good people shouldn’t die, but good people must die.

Or rather, good people... will always die.

That’s in the Doomsday.

Standing nearby, Dapao, Li Tie, and the others twitched their lips.

This Qingyang Taoist says big brother is a good person?

And so confidently?

Because those heads dried up in Oil City weren’t seen?

He probably hasn’t seen how many people big brother has killed, or how ruthless he is.

They dare say big brother isn’t a bad person, but definitely not a good one.

Would a good person point fingers and uproot without a word?

Though big brother isn’t a good person, he doesn’t kill without reason.

Big brother treats them well, his own people well.

In the Doomsday, that’s enough.
