Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Inside the conference room.

Everyone looked at Li Yu, waiting for him to make a decision.

Li Yu looked at everyone's expressions and sighed inwardly.

Oftentimes, people tend to worry about beforehand and consider various issues.

They also worry about others' perspectives.

This time, Li Yu needed to impart a principle to them.

When dealing with enemies, there's no need for politeness, let alone morality.

In this apocalyptic world, whoever is merciful to the enemy is being cruel to themselves.

Thus, Li Yu issued a direct order: "Keep that Hua Chuanxiong and another one called Old Sun; kill the rest."

Upon hearing this, most people weren't too surprised or agitated—it was just like Li Yu's usual way of doing things.

They just didn't expect Li Yu to speak about this matter in front of everyone.

Everyone looked at Li Yu, listening to what he would say next.

Li Yu then continued: "In this apocalypse, being kind is good, being merciful is good.

I admire those with great love.

Those saving the world, I respect them too.

However, would you be willing to save others and then let your family and friends get hurt or die?

Before the apocalypse.

I remember a news story about a person who sold his house for 5 million and then his daughter had to take out a loan for university.

In the end, he couldn't find his daughter.

Some people are benevolent and save others but end up failing the parents who brought them up.

Some, out of so-called integrity, treated enemies with credibility, ultimately harming others and themselves.

Why should we be trustworthy towards enemies, why should we treat enemies with a merciful heart?

If you can't even take care of your own family and friends, then what's the use of others calling you noble?

Among us, there are my relatives, my friends, and brothers and sisters who joined later.

But since we are together, I only want one thing.

In this doomsday, to lead you all to live well!

I hope you all understand one thing:

When dealing with enemies, there's no need for morality!"

After these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

Many people blushed, some breathing heavily with excitement.

Like Song Min and Old Lü, they had suffered losses and paid a heavy price for it.

And some, like Li Haoran, looked at Li Yu with admiration in their eyes.

People felt that everything Li Yu did was for everyone's sake, all for the well-being of the group.

Considering what everyone has now, being able to eat well and stay warm in such a brutal apocalypse is truly a luxury.

Li Yu has expressed his thoughts in front of everyone more than once.

He doesn't want to save the world, he just wants to create an idyllic haven with like-minded people in the post-apocalypse.

Saving the world is too exhausting, and he's not cut out for that.

Old Lü and Old Xie, upon hearing Li Yu's words, were somewhat moved.

In this post-apocalyptic world, the former Jiefang City admitted different people, not turning anyone away.

At the same time, they emphasized a spirit of dedication, working hard to maintain and protect everyone.

However, the resulting chaos wasn't because their principles were wrong, but because such ideals were unsuitable for the ruthless apocalypse.

There were too many people; with not enough basic conditions for survival, such as food, chaos was inevitable.

In that chaos, they lost family members.

Understanding this truth, they paid an irreplaceable price.

....

After a moment of silence.

Second Uncle spoke slowly: "Li Yu, alright, we'll go handle it in a bit."

Li Yu nodded, feeling a sense of irritation in his heart.

Actually, he was also struggling internally—killing these few people was just a trivial matter.

But it extended to some of the things he was contemplating in his heart.

Great people are great because they have a high vision and broad-mindedness.

For a country, the state comes before the home.

Before the apocalypse, he too could declare in the face of Japan, in the face of foreign invasion:

"If war calls, I shall answer."

But now, it is the end of the world.

A vast catastrophe.

He is just an insignificant commoner; he can't save the entire world...

It is important for a person to know their own limitations; without this awareness, one can harm themselves and others.

He slowly exhaled.

Everyone dispersed.

Dapao and Li Tie headed straight to the prison, to deal with those few people.

Li Yu paced alone to the top of the wall, his heart filled with confusion.

He didn't know whether his actions were right or wrong.

But he knew that what he'd done was the safest for the people in the base.

Tap tap tap~

The sound of light footsteps approached.

Li Yu turned his head; it was Third Uncle.

Third Uncle was dressed in a black tactical jacket.

Seeing Li Yu, Third Uncle said, "Li Yu, have you thought it through? Shall we go over there?"

Li Yu gazed at the pitch-black night sky. It had been warming up these past few days, the sun shining brightly.

After some thought, Li Yu said:

"If we could go directly, that would be best. With fewer people going over, we could take them out. After all, they have a large number, and I'm worried about our lack of firepower.

But if we take too many people and make too much noise, given the long distance of several hundred kilometers, if we encounter a Zombie Tide, it would be difficult. I haven't made up my mind yet."

Third Uncle nodded, showing understanding.

In the apocalypse, it's either you destroy me, or I destroy you.

There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

If Big Camphor Tree Base lacked strength, it too would be attacked by other powerful forces.

This is not needless worry; it is an absolute fact.

Now that they had discovered a force with ill intentions towards them, they must eradicate it, and do so quickly.

It's just that due to the distance, and because the temperature rise had brought out the zombies...

A gust of wind blew by.

The wind carried a faint, moist scent.

In the distance, the trees swayed, illuminated by searchlights.

The branches quivered, creating an indescribable atmosphere.

Rustle rustle~

The wind brushed through the trees, stirring up a plume of dust.

Li Yu stretched out his hand, feeling the air.

Third Uncle looked up at the dark clouds in the sky.

The deep black clouds hid the moon and stars from view.

Li Yu said, "It's going to rain."

Third Uncle replied with a smile, "If it rains, it seems like heaven is giving us a choice."

As soon as he finished speaking,

a light sprinkle of rain fell to the ground.

Li Yu stood on the wall, feeling the rainfall.

He loved the rain, enjoyed the sensation of staying indoors and watching the drizzle outside.

But after the apocalypse arrived, rain became a disaster.

Zombies would become frenzied when it rained, and their abilities would be greatly enhanced in rainy weather.

Their sense of smell would increase exponentially, allowing them to detect the scent of living humans.

The more humans there were, the more likely a large Zombie Tide would form.

Hence, during rainy days, Zombie Tides are quite likely to occur.

Raindrops fell into Li Yu's hand. He looked at Third Uncle and said, "It's raining; let's not go out for now.

The journey is long; we better wait until after this rainfall is over."

Third Uncle tightened his clothes and said, "Yeah, since it's raining, I'll go to the monitoring room to keep watch, just in case there's a Zombie Tide, so we can prepare early."

Li Yu nodded and then returned to the duty room.
