Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Li Yu looked around in several rooms, finally stopping in the furthest one.

This room had collected a variety of supplies, but food was scarce, with only a bag and a half of rice and some bread—besides that, just a few scattered food items.

It seemed they truly were short on food; however, there were still a few unopened boxes of alcohol, and seeing a few packs of cigarettes in a cabinet, Li Yu stuffed them into his backpack, as such items were in high demand in this apocalyptic world.

After a thorough check and finding nothing else of value, Li Yu left the room.

On the ground, Zhou Sheng lay beyond recognition, dead to the world.

Several women sat on the ground sobbing, one of them seemingly deranged, chewing on a piece of flesh that she had bitten off from Zhou Sheng’s body.

At this moment, a woman in her twenties, dressed in an OL (office lady) business attire with delicate features, approached Li Yu and said with a grieving expression, ”Thank you for saving us.”

After speaking, she bowed deeply to Li Yu and the others.

The other women also got up and expressed their thanks to Li Yu and his group.

Seeing this, Li Yu felt inclined to say a few words of comfort but then thought it was pointless.

He then pointed to the innermost room and said, ”We still have things to do. The food, we can leave for you.”

On the other side, a woman with the look of a young housewife approached, her voluptuous figure trembling with every step she took.

The young housewife came close to Li Yu and said, ”Big brother, I can tell you’re a good person. I have nowhere to go; can you take me with you?”

Her large eyes were brimming with pleading, her messy hair unable to hide her lovely features.

As soon as she finished speaking, the women who had been crying on the ground seemed to realize something and all stood up, begging Li Yu to take them with him.

Li Yu replied, ”Sorry, I can’t take you with me. But you can have the food!”

After that, he said to Li Tie and the others, ”Let’s get ready to head back, it’s getting late and we might not make it if we delay.”

Li Tie responded affirmatively.

Just as they were preparing to leave, the young housewife stood at the doorway preventing Li Yu from passing, saying, ”No, you can’t just leave like this. With so many zombies outside, what about us weak women?”

Li Yu felt a surge of annoyance and a headache coming on.

He turned his head away without another word.

Seeing Li Yu’s demeanor, the young housewife thought him to be approachable and, guessing he was in his early twenties, moved her body closer. But before she could touch Li Yu—

Bang!

Li Yu pushed the housewife away with one hand; she fell to the ground weakly like a tuft of catkins.

With a face as fresh as a lotus flower, she looked at Li Yu in mournful disbelief.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

The young housewife recovered, feeling insulted as if she had transformed into a ferocious tigress, she said angrily, ”What kind of person are you, completely without tact! If you save someone, you should save them all the way, if you see it through, you see it through to the end—saving us this way makes you no better than no savior at all.... Wuu wuu wuu... You people are not good either.”

Li Yu’s face was striated with black lines, thinking to himself: What kind of woman is this, to even start sticking to me?

Moral blackmail again?

His hand itched where his gun was.

Just then, the woman who had been chewing on Zhou Sheng’s flesh, harshly swallowed the meat in her mouth.

She stood up and marched straight to the young housewife, lifted her right hand, and delivered a harsh slap!

Smack!

A clear handprint was left on the fair face of the young housewife.

The young housewife was about to curse when she saw who it was. She deflated like a punctured balloon and didn’t dare to utter another word.

The woman, bruised all over and with whip marks on her arms, her mouth still bleeding a bit, stood up and walked with ease to Li Yu. Her cold demeanor thawed slightly as she looked at him, but her overall presence was still ice-cold.

She slowly said, ”My name is Song Min, and I used to run a beauty salon. Thank you for saving us. I will remember this kindness.”

After her words, she turned around.

She picked up a dagger from the ground and returned to Zhou Sheng’s body.

She squatted down and methodically began to slice off pieces of Zhou Sheng’s flesh.

Her movements were slow, almost mechanical, yet absolutely resolute.

There was not a trace of humanity to be felt from her.

The scene was exceptionally bloody; it looked like Song Min was determined to dismember Zhou Sheng slowly.

Seeing this, even the experienced Yang Tianlong and others felt their hair stand on end.

A few young girls stood nearby, seemingly familiar with Song Min, watching her actions. They wanted to persuade her, but Song Min seemed possessed at that moment.

No one dared to approach.

So, she continued to cut, slowly slicing away with her knife.

Finally, one of the girls said, ”Sister Song, Zhou Sheng is already dead. Sister Song, what should we do next?”

”Boss, you need to pull yourself together!”

”Yes, yes, that beast Zhou Sheng is dead. We were with you before, and we are still with you now.”

...

Li Tie and the others were overwhelmed by the scene, feeling as if their hearts had been stabbed with ice.

Such lovely girls, to be so mistreated by these scum...

Their understanding of the depravity of human nature in this post-apocalyptic world deepened further.

Li Yu glanced at the sky again; the sun was setting.

The afterglow of the sun was originally stunning.

The mellow light of the sun shone through the windows, illuminating the twelfth floor.

The setting sun was like blood, matching the tone inside the room.

Bodies strewn across the floor, the originally white walls splattered with blood, like ink flicked onto the surface.

More than a dozen women with sorrowful expressions, some sitting on the ground, lost, not knowing what to do,

some still seeming unable to snap out of their shock,

some with vacant looks,

some with pleading eyes looking towards Li Yu and his group...

Li Yu, holding a gun, spoke emotionlessly, ”I won’t take the food. It’s all in the innermost room;

I won’t take the weapons, either. The knives on the ground, you can use them to protect yourselves.”

”I’m leaving now. I hope you can survive. Take care!”

After saying these words, Li Yu left directly.

Yang Tianlong looked like he wanted to say something, standing still for a moment,

but he hesitated and, seeing Li Yu approaching the doorway, seemed anxious.

Zhao Dapao patted Yang Tianlong, reminding him, ”Let’s go! Brother Yu has done what he could.”

Yang Tianlong paused, then followed, leaving the room.

Song Min, who had been cutting into the flesh just now, seemed to sense Li Yu and the others leaving. Her hand holding the dagger paused for a moment as she looked at the sunlight reflected on the floor, squinting her eyes.

Then she resumed, again slicing into the flesh, one cut after another.

....

After descending the stairs, Li Yu and his group looked at the setting sun, estimating that it would be dark within half an hour.

Once night falls, Zombies become extremely active.

The Zombies’ responsiveness and ferocity both skyrocket.

Li Yu didn’t plan to stay overnight in the County because there were not only Zombies, but also people!

Human hearts are unpredictable.

Once it gets dark, without any light, anything could happen.

He didn’t trust others, even though he had just saved those people, he still didn’t trust them.

He hurried to the car, driving towards the outskirts of town.

Li Yu, sitting in the passenger seat, gazed deeply and took one last look at the river opposite.

The sky was darkening rapidly,

time on the road was tight, even at top speed, it would take more than twenty minutes.

Li Yu and his group had to hurry back to the base before nightfall.

Otherwise, getting trapped by Zombies would be troublesome!
