Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Li Yu stayed in the Bamboo Forest for a few hours and had a drink.

After waking up, he returned to the residential area of the Inner City of the base.

For him, this small cabin in the Bamboo Forest was like his secret base. Whenever he was tired, he would come to this place.

After returning to the residential area, Li Yu fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

When he woke up, he saw that the rain outside the window had lessened considerably.

The continuous rainfall that persisted for a while was a torment for those seeking survival in this apocalypse.

Dodging zombies in the rain, unable to go out, unable to find food, was a trial.

After waking up, Li Yu went to the kitchen and had a quick bite.

Returning, he passed by the room and heard the voices of conversation coming from the little sister's room again.

"Did you hear that your family has a military background?" Li Yuan asked.

"So what, now we're still farming, oh my god, I'm exhausted, I think I've hurt my old back today.

Yuanzi, do you have any hidden snacks? Come on, share some." It was Xiao Shi's voice.

...

After passing by his sister's room, Li Yu heard their conversation but didn't continue to listen, shook his head with a smile and went back to his room.

This rain came and went unpredictably.

The next morning, the rainy sky finally cleared.

A rainbow appeared in the sky.

The survivors who had been staying in the Outer City were overjoyed to see the rain stop.

It meant they could finally go out and look for food.

With the rain ceased, the Zombie Tide outside also dispersed little by little.

The apocalypse in this world was so magical: with every downpour came a Zombie Tide, and with clear skies, the zombies would retreat.

...

At a place not far from Xin City, a fully-armed group was dodging zombies.

They were exhausted but, with the aid of the terrain, still managed to hold out until now, though they had lost many team members along the way.

"Captain, we've been searching for over two months now, are you sure the information is accurate?

We've been looking for the grain storehouse for so long with no sign of it, could the information be fake?

Plus, the other task we were given, to find Grandpa Ye's granddaughter, isn't that a joke?

The apocalypse has been going on for so long, to find her among so many zombies, isn't it like looking for a needle in a haystack?

I say we head back. We've already lost two teams.

Captain!"

A young-sounding man said, looking at the captain with earnest concern.

The man called the captain wiped his sweat—or maybe it was rainwater—thought for a moment and said: "We have our orders, no more discussing. Is there any point in going back now?

We'd have no face to return without completing our mission. We rely on each other now, we must find that grain storehouse.

Stop talking and follow orders."

The captain's tone was stern and indisputable.

"Ah..." The young man sighed but didn't protest any further, knowing that once the captain made a decision, no one could oppose it.

The captain took out a map and circled a spot on it.

The map, filled with red circles, indicated reported locations of a grain storehouse, yet it was nowhere to be found.

The rainy days were truly tough.

All the way, he had led his team, dodging zombies, sacrificing many team members.

Up to now, they hadn't completed either of their two tasks.

The task of finding the grain storehouse amounted to them now being certain it wasn't in any of the red-circled areas on the map.

This was just a process of elimination, akin to searching for a needle in a haystack.

However, there was no choice; their source of information was damaged, they only knew the rough area, unable to locate the exact address, causing their search to be so fraught.

"Get some rest, we'll set out again tomorrow, let's search some more." The captain said.

"Okay."

"Okay."

...

At the Big Camphor Tree Base, the rain stopped.

Li Yu, seeing the Zombie Tide outside receding, found He Chao and prepared to let the survivors who were staying at the base out.

In the Outer City.

The roads were muddy; construction was not as strict here.

Many parts of the roads were dirt, which after the soaking rain became especially muddy and hard to traverse.

Li Yu approached He Chao and said, "The rain has stopped, it's time to let them out. They haven't caused any problems lately, have they?"

He Chao replied, "No, during this time, your Second Uncle and others have communicated with them several times here and organized their information.

They now have a deeper understanding of them. I have recorded it here; this notebook is for you."

Li Yu took the notebook He Chao handed to him, glanced through it quickly, and found that it contained the identities of the registered survivors.

Having this information made Li Yu more aware of them. At the very least, he would understand more about the surrounding population.

And in the future, when cooperating, he would know who exactly was on the other side.

"You've worked hard recently," Li Yu patted He Chao's shoulder.

Then Li Yu continued, "Take some time to spend with your daughter as well. At her age, she really needs her father."

Remembering his daughter softened He Chao's heart, and his eyes filled with warmth.

Li Yu went on, "There's another matter that needs to be prioritized now. Didn't I give you a list last time?

Get those items collected as soon as possible.

You might as well directly ask those survivors to look for them, to get those items because we are in a bit of a rush."

He Chao nodded and replied, "Alright, I know the list. I'll talk to them later and let them go after that."

Li Yu nodded in assurance.

The list given to He Chao contained items and materials for making bullets.

Although some materials had been gathered earlier, it wasn't enough yet.

Moreover, some of the equipment was hard to find, and they were still missing a few key components to start assembling bullets.

A lathe – that was the most crucial thing.

And it was precisely what Li Yu was most eager to get his hands on.

After Li Yu went up the perimeter wall, He Chao found the survivors and communicated with them.

Hearing the news, the survivors were thrilled.

They were in dire need of food, and the opportunity to go out to look for items and exchange them for food was a profitable deal for them.

They couldn't wait to rush out and find the items listed.

After giving instructions, He Chao gestured, signaling Li Haoran and the others on the wall to open the gate.

As soon as the gate opened, three or four zombies leapt in.

The survivors took a step back in surprise, but it was just three or four zombies, mere "stragglers" that hadn't left the base's vicinity yet.
