Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

The gates inside Weng City slowly opened, and with it, the vehicle entered at a leisurely pace.

The speed was slow.

Upon entering, there was an open area with some houses in the distance, uneven in height but harmoniously arranged.

They saw people with hoes on their backs laboring in the fields beside the road; children were also seen running around...

There were old and young, men and women, the eldest in their sixties, the youngest about the age of Old Xie's daughter. Now they watched as Li Yu brought them in.

Both sides were looking at each other with some curiosity.

Inside the car, Captain Lv's daughter caught a glimpse of Li Suxin in a pretty floral dress, her eyes briefly colored with interest, before quickly returning to dullness.

Old Xie felt a pang of emotion seeing Feifei's appearance, she was still just a child.

As the vehicles moved slowly, they saw a creek, with many soft river stones beside it, and some grasses beside the stones.

At the foot of a farther mountain, a group of young boys and girls were herding cows. One bold boy sat directly on the back of a cow, and the sound of their laughter faintly drifted over.

"This is really a Taoyuan," Old Xie said wistfully. Living here would be such a fortunate thing.

Although he didn't know the rules on Li Yu's side, the presence of old people and children meant that this base had warmth, responsibility, and a human touch.

They passed by a bamboo forest, where the wind had scattered bamboo leaves all over the ground. It wasn't swept up, but the fallen leaves added to the serene ambiance.

Further ahead were rows of bungalows, with villas across from them, all surrounded by low walls.

From their side, they could see two mountains in the distance, which seemed to be encompassed by the wall as well.

Atop each mountain was a tall Observation Tower, with a person faintly visible on each.

Between the two mountains, a stream meandered down, with rows of trees planted on either side, swaying and rustling in the evening breeze.

Such a beautiful pastoral scene.

Li Yu drove straight to the residential area, and everyone got out of the car.

After disembarking, though they wanted to look around the base, they were more eager to know about Captain Lv's condition.

So, just after getting off, Old Xie and a few others came over: "Director Li, I'm really sorry to bother you, but could we see Captain Lv?"

Li Yu nodded and led the way: "Sure, follow me."

With ample medical equipment and Li Yuan, who studied medicine, there, and considering Captain Lv's gunshot wound wasn't deep, he should be fine.

The group arrived outside a house, where Lai Xiyue came out to meet them.

"Brother Yu, you're here."

"Yep, how is Captain Lv who was brought in today? And where's Yuan?" Li Yu inquired.

Lai Xiyue replied: "The bullet has been removed, Captain Lv has woken up, and Yuan is inside with him."

"Good, you've worked hard."

Lai Xiyue noticed the number of people and thought for a moment before suggesting: "Captain Lv lost a lot of blood and is still very weak. It's better not to have so many people go in."

Upon hearing this, Old Xie and the others became anxious, but they dared not protest and could only look pleadingly at Li Yu.

Li Yu thought for a moment and finally said: "We've just come from the outside and carry a lot of bacteria on us. Too many people wouldn't be good for Captain Lv. Just two of you should go in."

After some thought, Old Xie decided to let Xiao Wu and Captain Lv's daughter enter.

"Okay, you guys wait outside," said Li Yu.

Then the three of them went into the medical room.

Li Yuan was inside preparing medicine when he saw Li Yu bringing in two people and hastily said, "Brother, you're back!"

"Mm," Li Yu responded.

He then looked towards Captain Lv, who was lying on the sickbed. He appeared pale but still in reasonably good spirits.

Captain Lv heard the movement and immediately looked over. When he saw Li Yu, gratitude filled his eyes, but following that, he couldn't help trying to look behind him, before he had escaped to Li Yu's side.

At the Government Building, he had seen his daughter's small body kneeling on the ground, her eyes filled with joy, but he had no choice but to leave.

Now that he had found Li Yu and Li Yu had returned, did that mean...

Li Yu noticed the look in his eyes and subtly shifted to the side, and Xiao Wu, holding Captain Lv's daughter, stepped forward two paces.

Captain Lv, upon seeing Xiao Wu, looked down and his eyes immediately lit up with surprise.

"Feifei! Baby!" Captain Lv struggled to get up, but as soon as he exerted himself, the pain in his shoulder intensified, and Li Yu quickly held him down.

"Don't get excited."

Li Yuan also said, "Don't get up, it wasn't easy sewing up your wound, and if you move it might burst open again and will need to be stitched up again."

"Alright, alright, I won't get up," Captain Lv said with a smile.

Looking at his daughter, her face was covered in dust, giving her a gray and listless appearance. Confusion filled her eyes because, from her short stature, she couldn't initially recognize that the man in the sickbed was her father.

Captain Lv, seeing this, felt his eyes begin to redden, despite being a man in his forties.

"Feifei, this is Daddy. Say, 'Daddy.'" Captain Lv inched his body forward.

His face came into view before little Feifei.

Feifei looked up and her gaze was still somewhat vacant before she lowered her head.

But then she looked up again, disbelief in her eyes.

She blinked, and large tears started to fall visibly from her big eyes.

Captain Lv, seeing his daughter like this, could not hold back the tears already welling up in his red eyes.

"Feifei, this is Daddy. Daddy will never leave you again. Don't be mad at Daddy, okay?" Captain Lv thought back to that day, suppressing the agony, the urge to rescue his daughter, and forced himself to leave the Government Building. The look of disappointment on his daughter's face as he turned away pained him more than if he had been killed.

At that time, it wasn't that he didn't want to save his daughter, but under those circumstances, he wouldn't have been able to, and it might have ended up with everyone dying there.

He just didn't realize it would have such a significant impact on his daughter.

"Daddy... from now on... please, don't... don't leave me behind, okay?" Feifei said through her sobs.

At that time, Old Xie and Captain Lv were outside, and Old Xie didn't appear in front of them, so Old Xie's daughter might not have felt as much.

But Feifei had seen the men she usually lived with, the uncles who often joked with her, killed by those people; even at her young age, she understood what had happened.

Seeing her father appear, she thought he was there to rescue her, but then Captain Lv turned and ran.

This left a huge scar in her tender heart.

"Feifei, Daddy promises you. It's all Daddy's fault." Captain Lv extended his hand, wanting to hold his daughter, but the pain in his shoulder made him wince slightly.

Li Yu, seeing this, wanted to stop him, but seeing the father and daughter crying like this, he sighed and did not intervene.

"Daddy, I... I... will eat less, you... you mustn't abandon me anymore, okay? I... I can eat less, I won't fuss over wanting to eat anymore. I can go without food, I won't eat, wuwuwu..." Feifei embraced her father, crying and choking.

Li Yuan, upon hearing this, couldn't hold it in any longer and turned his head away. This little girl was small and frail, her hair yellowish, with not a bit of flesh on her face – clearly undernourished.

How could she possibly be seen as greedy? She was clearly eating too little.

Alas!
